I rehosted those because I don't like to (hot)link to other people's servers. :P Damn I've collected a lot of Volvo related pics and other material, got tons of stuff on my HD. :lol:
Check out ISO G verkkolevy from Saunalahti, 50GB and no traffic limits, 3 months now free, after that 5e/month, I have now one, really nice :)

Sorry for OT :(

Yeah it was those photos, I'm sure that vent looks a little thicker than standard but who knows, lol

As Jason says, that is indeed my old GLT ;) Stock calipers, I had enough knowledge to compare the numbers on them... just not enough to get the calipers off.

Chalk one up for experience, one down to the general learning of performance 300 stuff :(

Note that despite being a 1989 360, it has the old-style anti-roll bar endlinks. Methinks that car had been severely messed around with.

Depends what way you mean messed about with mate, it had yellow unlabled shocks on the rear, I always guessed that the front had had a spring seat collapse, and just had a 340 shocks, and hence ARB chucked up front. But yeah, it was... special.

Still, a good 60% of Fake is actually that GLT, couldn't have got it roadworthy as quick without it

They look like capri 2.8 vents with caliper carrier and caliper groumd down for clearance.Simple and cost effective.
