will those volvo calipers bolt up factory? excuse the lack of searching :(

Here are the shots of both sides of the callipers showing the 3 bleed nipples.



Here is the pad diameters. There are no numbers on them.



The pistons appear to have a diameter of 30mm with an internal one of about 26mm.

Hope this makes it easier to work out what I have although I am 99% certain these are the good ones.

Have had a look on the bendix website and the DB549 padds are 98 x 60 x 16 mm so that pretty much confirms I have the right ones.

Thaks to all those for their input.

Can anyone out there help me to get them slotted and also to modify the hub? Can pay in cash or beer?

Cheers

Matt

There are 4 options:

1) Slot with file (most common option)
2) Fill mounting holes with molten steel and re-drill.
3) Drill out mount hole to larger size and get some offset bushes made up
4) Change position of mounting bolts on strut.

1,2 and 4 have all been done before to my knowledge. You *might* get an Engineer to approve 2,3 or 4.

Thanks Avon,

Any idea on where to get it done as I don't have the skill or parience for fidly jobs like this?

Congrats on the 1100th post too!

Cheers

DIY with a circular file for the easy slotted option. A machine shop should be able to help with the offset bush idea but I've never heard of this one being done...just an idea I had. I have heard of someone doing the infill with molten steel option - I think they went to a foundry!

These arrived today. Now to move on with the project.

Drop them off to my place along with caliper kits and I will rebuild them for you.

Matt, 
with your last post, saying these arrived today, did you end up ascertaining you didn't have the right ones in the first place? if so, the ones you ended up getting, were they the ones without any writing on them?
