I think I would just get a new Behr radiator for the MB and call it done...easier than the reinforcement/mod....

Surprisingly, my current two w123 cars have their original radiators and hoses (less one hose which didn't rot but started getting drippy at the end). Same for my other W123s which all had >>200K, my 91 BMW, and my father's 96 E300D, which is near 300k.
All good stuff, and if you don't try to remove the hoses, the necks don't break...
But if they do, or if one is worried (I have enough miles to not be concerned on my cars), then Behr is best, IMO.
