Can these "1976-80 450sel 6.9" specific brake lines also be used on my 1979 300SD?

I know its a late response, but they appear to have the proper end fittings, m10 (or whatever) on one side and an m10 banjo on the other. I'd highly doubt it if there were any differences in the hydraulic connections that were specific to the 6.9...

That being said, I used some Earl's adapter fittings and -3 AN lines on both my 123 and 124 setups, which ended up being comparable in price, but with the added benefit of using standard premade AN lines that can be replaced much cheaper if it ever becomes necessary to do so (quite unlikely with such nicely made lines)...

the answer is "yes". the feel is great, and i like the green color.

The 6.9 has a anti squat rear end. a lot of W116's didn't have this rear end and use a shorter brake hose. Just make sure the hose isn't too tight.
