Yes, they are 2 pot and probably Girlings. I don´t know how heavy they are, but I can measure it some day (when I first find those)

Actually parts are from 3 different Volvo, but all those are from junkyard

BTW those weight 3,6kg / piece with pads

[Ivan141]

Wow...the fronts are about 4 kg's...just got them in the mail. Do you happen to know if there are spacers avaliable to adapt the solid disc calipers for vented discs by any chance? I bought the wrong ones apparantly.
They are heavy sons of b#tches though...should be able to cope with some abuse.

On the wheels again


Welded sunroof´s place


Quite a finished rearaxle


Rollcages (A few "sticks" and weldingseams absents)

[Ivan141]

Big pimpin daddy-o!
I like the watts-link setup. May I enquire how you're going to finish the roofpanel welding? I want to get rid of my pesky leaking sunroof, but am afraid of ending up with a ton of work to get the roof smooth again after welding something in.
