Brakes on a '68 wagon vs. sedan 120-130

I ended up buying another guy out of the Volvo hobby this weekend. It's several more pick loads full of parts that I really don't know I need but I didn't want to see it scrapped...

One of the rear end/axle set ups is from a '68 122 wagon. I have not openned it up but it looks to have the same 'self-adjusting' rear brakes that the 122 sedans had in '68. Is this true?

    Yep, as Eric said, they are the same except for bore diameter. IIRC the kits for early 70s International 'Scouts' will fit the 68 220s rear cylinders!

    Cheers!
    OK

    Should be -- I don't show a separate listing for wagons vs. sedans for '68. if they have the starwheel adjusters, they're just about sure to be the same.

      Hello,

      Everything is the same except for the wheel cylinder bore diameter.
