FWIW, when I last ordered front pads for my '79 300SD (WDB11612012010864) with
Bendix calipers, Tom Hanson of the Classic Centre gave me 001-420-78-20
($42 before discount) as the correct number, and they did fit (tight!).

Believe it or not, the spindle nut covers for the wiper arms are optional. I
can get you a part number, they’re still available for a couple of bucks apiece.

I had the same problem with my '79 300SD when I replaced the front calipers. I
ended up filing part of the caliper body for clearance. I actually now don't
remember if the pads didn't fit, or maybe it was the caliper that didn't quite
fit the bracket without bumping into something.

I have done similar. Right now I am fighting front brake

Also installed new wiper blades. Couldn't figure out the passenger side
