where can you buy that adapter?
BTW- did you have to mod the caliper to clear your rim scott?
Posted by: GWN7 May 10 2005, 10:11 PM
You would need two if your only doing 1/2 your car 
Posted by: Mueller May 10 2005, 10:11 PM

Yeah, I did it after I painted them too. So I had to go back and repaint them. I got the T fittings from Kymco down here in Costa Mesa, you can probably get them at any VDub place. Kymco charged me like 9 bucks each as opposed to someone telling me they were only 5 each.

Mike, since you have it all right there, why dont you make up a few dozen and sell them. I would take a couple of them. I am pretty sure Aaron will too and maybe Bernbomb as he runs the same calipers on his car.

Brass? AL? steel?
Posted by: skline May 10 2005, 10:32 PM
I would think brass since the T fittings I have are brass.

The Volvo units are very much bigger than the BMW units. And a lot heavier. I'll try to get out in the shop tomorrow sometime and measure them.
I have 15" wheels and no clearance issues. (disclaimer, I'm running spacers) I was attempting to upgrade to a 4 piston unit without increasing the unsprung wieght. These were a direct fit without the pad over hang issues and machine work needed for the BMW 320 units.

Depends upon year and model fitted to:
160 Series.....ATE (Vented Rotor)....'72-'75
Girling (Soild Rotor)....'67-'74
240/260.....Girling Solid Rotor.....'75-87
Girling Vented Rotor.....'75-'87
ATE Solid Rotor.......'75
ATE Vented Rotor.....'75
Good luck on your choice..................
Posted by: Travis Neff May 11 2005, 12:34 PM
Girling for solid rotors are for 914 struts.

3" spacing
Solid Rotor....'75-'87 Volvo 240/260 Girling
Vented Rotor...'75-'93 Volvo 240/260 Girling
Have not measured the ATEs as yet, but should be the same.
And if you have 911 struts don't you want 3.5" spacing ?
Solid rotor...BMW(whatever), Bavaria...'71-'77

ive got them priced at $60 a piece w/ a lifetime gurantee & prolly $30 for some good brakes w/ a lifetime gurantee...
Posted by: SLITS May 11 2005, 04:50 PM

http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo240brake.htm#calipers
Check the link above that was posted....$60 each loaded (yeh, they want a $25 core and shipping).
Posted by: dlo914 May 11 2005, 05:12 PM
i will admit that's a better price, but the shipping of the cores wouldnt be so nice. i'd prefer having a lifetime warranty. http://www.autozone.com/servlet/UiBroker/?UseCase=C001&UserAction=answerRequiredQuestion&Parameters=%7C%7EWITH+SOLID+ROTOR&PageSync=5 and 20% employee discount
Posted by: Travis Neff May 11 2005, 05:15 PM
Well for the solid 914 rotor guys, they have brand new girlings for $69 and no cores.

ron, either one any good?
Posted by: SLITS May 11 2005, 06:03 PM
I'd prolly go with ARI (my apologies to the Canucks) based on business experience.
ARI down here does calipers, boosters and CVs. Their name (before acquisition) was Automotive Caliper Exchange, Inc (ACEI).
Fenco does everything in their Canadian location.
If you can afford new...get new!
Posted by: Aaron Cox May 11 2005, 06:42 PM
rebuild kits for girling calipers are 23 bucks a pair...
im so stoked....
and ron. i have mcaliper 3" struts

Halfway down the page, again that is for 914 solid rotors. Not sure if they come with pads, spreader springs or what.
Posted by: Aaron Cox May 11 2005, 08:34 PM
