Hi,

I take it you're converting to disks?

There are two ways of using the 120/P1800 caliper bracket, Either basically as Volvo intended which places the calipers in the same position as on the 1800 or 120, the negative of this is that you'll end up with restricted lock on the steering.

Alternatively you get a competent welder to weld up the holes, and weld an ear onto the bracket, and put the caliper in front of the axle line. To do this you swap the calipers from right to left so the bleed nipple remains at the top.

As for the disk use a complete P1800/120 disk and hub, it bolts straight onto the PV stub axle, the bearings being identical.

If you're going to run a Servo you need 120/P1800 rear brakes, because the Wagner setup is self servoing. The drums are identical.

regards


Pete
