Title: Volvo 240 4 pots, bolt on g40 brakes
Post by: shaun_89 on October 17, 2012, 09:29:53 PM
Hi,

I'm selling my volvo 240 front callipers. They are reconditioned units and have brand new pads as they have never seen a car since they were refurbed.
They were intended for my mk2 scirocco track car which has the same mounts as mk1-3 polos.

The few mods you will need to fit these are included so all you need to do is bolt them on, connect up the hoses and bleed them. They take rover 216 gti 266mm discs (bolt on again), i have a set to include if you want but they are a bit rusty and are cheap new.

Due to the size of these brakes you will need 15's, you might be able to squeeze them under 14's but i havnt tried.

These provide serious braking power for your polo, must be the cheapest way to next to new 4 pot's.

£220

Hi, you can see in the pics. The hose adapter is needed from two into one as volvo had two hoses for some reason. Also the bolt holes are in the correct place, however the holes on the caliper are slightly larger than the vw bolts, so in the packet with the calipers are 4 reducers which just take up the difference in size. Thats all thats needed, its simple really.

I dont have a link, if you search them, they used to be a popular mod a few years back for mk1 golfs/sciroccos, which use vw2 calipers just like the g40 as im sure you are aware.

Im located in either cannock, staffs or kings lynn, norfolk

thanks
