Here is a very nice picture of the required new M/C that goes with the
Volvo caliper swap.

Subject: RE:Volvo Front Brake Caliper Conversion
This comes from one of the cars I saw during the Polar Bear run last
weekend. It had 4 piston Volvo front calipers on it. I asked the owner
about the paticulars and he
was not sure as the car was like that when he bought it. One of the guys
told me it was a direct bolt up but there were several other issues
involved. First the stock
roadster rotor diameter needs to be turned down around 1/8 of an inch.
Secondly the new caliper had two brake line inlets so it requires a tee
fitting. Also the caliper is a
bit wider than the stock caliper so the brake pads wear out sooner. He
thought the calipers came from a mid to late 70's Volvo 124. I looked at
a site dedicated to nothing
but Volvo's and there never was a 124. There is a 240 in that era but no
124. Does anyone out there have any knowledge of this conversion? It is
something I would like
to try on a 66 I will be working on and does not appear to be that hard
if I could just figure out what Volvo caliper I need. This might be an
attractive alternative to the
stock setup. Thanks.
