I am putting Volvo 240 four piston calipers on my 911 front end. The calipers have two inlet ports for the Volvo's diagonal braking system. Can I just block one port off or do I need to tee the two lines into the teener's single line?

Here's a drawing I saved that someone made of a Volvo brake like distribution block. Doesn't look very difficult to machine. Hope the file size is ok.

I have them installed on the rear with SC rotors. I resolved both issues fairly easily. First off I had the original mounting holes plugged and re-drilled to move the caliper in closer to the hub. The holes had steel bar pressed in and then machined off flush. The holes were drilled 6mm closer to the hub. Then I pulled the pistons out and drilled the caliper body to connect the piston bores together in each half. Just drill at 45 deg from the base of the bore where the bores are closest together. Do this in each bore and the holes will intersect. Put a bleeder nipple in the redundant hole. No need then for any external plumbing.

The Volvo is a 1975 245. It has the stock rear Dana 30. I lowered (relative to the car) the entire rear suspension 11". With the tall 265/75/16 tires it is about 14" higher than a stock 245. It has a Cherokee Dana 30 in the front. 4.10 gears. Chevy S10 700R4 auto trans and transfer case (new process). 200hp 1997 Camaro 3.8 V6. Has been driven about 200 miles since the conversion. Working out the bugs now. I started it in early June and drove it for the first time two weeks ago.
