    Luke,

    From memory all you'll need to change is the bolts that hold the calipers on. You'll need imperial threaded and shorter versions.

    They are not identical but both are suitable on the strut.

    Same everything, Capri has 'P16' for imperial mount and Esc mk2 has M16 for metric mount. A mk2 caliper will slop about on the mounts as metric bolts are a tiny bit larger(larger mount hole) but nothing to concern over. Hydraulic lines are imperial too so keep that in mind as threads are different.
    You can bolt on Volvo 4spots from a old 244/242/264 with minor drilling/filing

    If ur sticking vents on, all you do is oval the caliper mounts slightly, plus the usual brake line adaptions, keep the same m/cyls too! With solids there is a minimal cast grinding to do on the struts, nothing threatning
