Hello Chris,

I was waiting for someone to catch that.

But, believe it or not, some P1800 came with front drums and with a M40 and not a M41.

The very 1st Volvo I ever saw was a P1800 that belonged to the father of one of my BFFL and then to him and it had front drums and a M40.

I had always assumed his mechanic, Giuseppe, had swapped the parts before he sold my friends father the car.

When I had a chance in later years to ask Giuseppe directly, he insisted it came that way to him and that as far as he knew it was original.

So I went to the ye olde Volvo microfiche and sure enough, the options for front drums and a M40 are shown.

My BFFL sold the car before I opened my repair shop, so I have no idea where it is.
