Like I said in my first post the 122 isn't original. I have another '66 that is up for a complete restore (my father was the original owner and my mother was take to the hospital in it to have me dilevered) It will stay completely original. What I'm currently working on is a volvo hotrod! I'm not trying to make the braking power better. I agree that stopping isn't a big problem. I'm just trying to make the maintance cost cheaper. I just think at $140 per caliper (another $60 for the core) is outragous and almost $200 for a rotor isn't any better. The hotrod volvo has already had a power booster/dual master cylinder with perportioning valve added. This came out of a '79 ford mustang. So replumbing or adding additional lines isn't a big concern to me. I'm just looking for an easier/cheaper calipers to find. Cheaper rotors would be fine to. Some of the other goodies added to the volvo is a ford 2.8 v6, C4 automatic trans (fits really nice!), and a ford 8 inch posi rearend. and a GM tilt steering column. I'm currently getting all the parts to switch from the manual steering to a powerd rack and pinion. Should be done by mid Aug on the steering switch.
