Brakes Questions

Any of you guys know if the 4 piston calipers from a 1987 500SL ( is that an R129?)

will fit on the W124 ??

I know rotor size is different, just wondering if anyone knows if they are a bolt on as far as calipers.

thanks

I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the 4 piston fixed callipers on the 400E were sourced from the 500SL. Not sure if it's a direct swap, but it may be a place to start.
