If you can get a 143A for the same price, I would definitely install that one if there were no other drawbacks and it was the same bolt on fit. Why not have more power on tap?
benzborg is having his existing 80A rebuilt for $120. There is no way you could get a 143A in Canada for that price. A reman'd Bosch will be about $300. The 80A will be sufficient for the 300E.

Parts yards? Car-part.com ? I am sure if you actually look around you can find one. Hell, I bet someone here parting a car with one would mail it. 400E had a 110 or 120A from memory, I bet you can get that super cheap.
I had to file my bracket SLIGHTLY to get mine to fit. I just attribute that to acceptable manufacturing clearance differences.
