Yes Volvo 240 Girling calipers and bmw e21 vented rotors. Need e21 hubs as well. Should be an under 200 brake upgrade. Search the forum for Volvo brake upgrade.

looks like that car has some upgrades?  lots o pad left...just go out and hammer the brakes a few times to grind that rust off!

:D

if purchasing shown vehicle, I would make sure the calipers are centered to the rotor, It looks to be mounted un-centered. would need spacer washers/shims between the caliper mount and kingpin to center correctly. Some people slot the mount tabs to have the caliper sit closer to the hub center or fill the mount holes and redrill for repositioning the caliper. this would allow full pad contact and not have that 3/16" pad hanging off the outside circumference of the rotor.

'77 only vented rotors with later e21 small hubs, can purchase the studs from a variety of sources: Turner, IE......

Shake and bake baby when I open my eyes...

 

If you use those rotors, sand the rust off 'em or they'll thumpy thumpy thumpy until

your eyeballs fall out.

 

There will be a shiny spot under the pads, and that's the REAL problem.

 

Dang, that's some rust.  Coastal car.

Thanks everyone,

yeah, the car has been my "driveway queen" in sunny/rusty Florida for the last 5 months.  will def get the rust off before driving.  Have fuzzy memories of the PO saying something about a brake upgrade from a known vender (I think Ireland) but I never looked into it.

I would inquire. Fairly positive Ireland repositions the mount holes so you would not have the pad overhang as your setup shows. Might call Aardvark to see if Dave Varco's kit does the same thing.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
