QUOTE(McMark @ Feb 15 2012, 09:53 AM) Here are the lengths from mounting face (the part that presses against the body) to the end of the MC. 914 MC: 137mm Mbz MC: 154mm I have a 69 911 up on the lift and held the 23mm MC up and it looks like there is JUST enough room. This picture also shows the difference in the supply ports. This is very helpful. thanks! KT |

Volvo 240 model--fronts are 4-pot, rears are 2-pot.
Most 240 front calipers have 2 input ports (and 3 bleeders), so you'll need to address that with a "T" or something (there are some pictures here in the garage somewhere). There are 2 sets of PNs, 5002026/7 (L/R) for non-vented rotors, and 5002028/9 (L/R) for ventilated rotors. Volvo gradually switched all 240s over to vented rotors during the 1980s (our old 83 GL was non-vented), so unless you plan to go with the thicker vented rotors you'll probably have to use the earlier caliper. Another note--front calipers from late 240s with ABS (1991-1993) have only one input port and one bleeder, but are all for vented rotors. PNs for the ABS calipers are 5003754/5 (L/R). I've got a set of those sitting in my garage, but need to compare them to the non-ABS calipers and look closely for differences. Not sure about using the rear calipers, but do know that the Volvo parking brake is basically a drum brake set-up. The cable actuates a pair of shoes that contact a "drum-like" cavity inside the rear rotor. Pretty good design for what it is . . . Hope this helps! |
