While the 240 Turbos did have the vented front brakes, all 240s
beginning in 83 or 82 got the vented front setup. The ones you want
are from a 91-93 240 with ABS, as the ABS brakes only have one line
running to them (but are otherwise identical).
These are cheap and easy to find in the junkyards in most areas. If
you want "new" units, FCP Groton (fcpgroton.com) would be a great
place to go ($95, minus the $40 core). Of course they also sell Pug
parts at good prices (but don't list them on the web site -- call or
e-mail).
Honestly, if you've got access to a Rx-7 (any 2nd gen with five bolt
wheels should have the nice calipers), I'd be more interested in
making the Mazda calipers fit. The 240 units are *very* nice, but the
Rx-7 units aren't nearly as heavy and probably have a larger swept
area.
