[Madmerc]

hi all im working on all fronts on this 230sl going right thru it im up to the front disc brakes at the moment I purschased a new set of front discs as I pulled the old ones off I noticed the they were larger and ventelated to my surprize.
I found this number on the stubb axle 016276 and was wondering if any one could identify it . thanks

If you've got ventilated discs then the chances are that someone has fitted front hubs from a v8.

To the best of my knowledge, no ventilated discs in any Pagoda from the factory.  Very unclear to me how larger discs would fit with correct calipers.

W113 cars never came from the factory with ventilated discs. Check out the two photos and notice that the ventilated disc caliper is nearly 1/4" wider for the ventilated rotor......................................

Is there any real advantage to having vented rotors on a 113?
