Seems like there was a thread a while back on this same subject where things were compiled.


The Steering knuckles (Spindles) assy from a W116 and W126 will swap over.

The Trailing Arms from a W116 and W126 up to 85 will swap over.

The Differential from a W116 and W126 up to 85 will swap over.

The seat bottoms (Spring Box) from a W126 all the way to 91 (end of production) will swap over. Maybe the W116 will too.

The rear Rotors and Pads from "I think" back in the 60`s thru 91 are the same. W109, W109, W115, W116, W123, W116. I forget the chassis # of the Fintails (Heckfloose) W111?

The front Vented Rotors from a W126 will swap over. First generation, 81 - 85 you can still use the 14" wheels. Second generation 86 - 91 you must go to a 15" wheel or larger, change the backing place and caliper.

The clutch (Disk, FW, PP) from a W115 220D, W123 240D, 300D NA, are the same. Some of the Euro W126 (280SE) had a 4-spd and the clutch may be the same too.

The 4-spd gear box in a W115 220D, will bolt into a W123 as well. a 4-spd or 5-spd gear box and peddle assy has been grafted into a W126.
Look up Sirnick84 thread on it.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
