Volvo brake pads

Post by redroadster68 »

Hello
When I bought the 1968 2000, it came with the Volvo brake conversion. Don’t need yet but just planing ahead, new brake pads. It’s my understanding that the conversions used a 1975 Volvo 240 caliper? Is this always the case .
What pads , with part numbers preferably, are you using . Looking maybe for performance pads
Thanks

Also when I look up 240 pads they often ask 242?245? Etc. Front / rear. I’m assuming front Datsun conversion used front Volvo 240 calipers ? Any thoughts
