Well my 122s front calipers are truly past it. In looking around for replacement ones all that seem to be available are the four pistion ones. So that presents me wiht several options;

1) Try to rebuild the current ones, but pistons are not readily moving at this point.

2) Send them out for a professional rebuild (Eric, do you handle this as well?)

3) Will the more readily available 4 piston ones work? Will they bolt on and "just" need custom hard lines?

4) Swap for another Volvo or maybe Triumph (not sure if anything else fits but the Girling stuff was used on a lot of other cars in period).

Help!
