brake swap to 320

[Guest Anonymous]

I have a 76' 02 and im in the process of changing the front rotors. Will rotors from a 320 go on a 2002 without any adjustments?

think they're different too (they carry a different part number)

I swapped '83 non-vented 320 brakes onto my non-TII 2002. The rotors and hubs bolt up just fine, even with the 2002 backing plates, but you'll have to do some modifications to get the calipers to fit. The 2002 mounting is such that the caliper will interfere with the rotor, because the caliper is mounted too close to the center of the hub. I took apart the calipers and ground a bit here and there to get them to fit. It takes about an hour per side; you also have to cut away a few bits of the backing plate with tin snips to clear the bigger caliper. Once it was all done, the setup fits under stock steel wheels, 13" aluminum rims, etc., which isn't true of the Volvo or 5-series caliper setup.

(vented '77 rotors and calipers) went on my early '69 (single line, 2 piston calipers), both the outer rim of the rotor and the hub had to be turned down slightly, and the calipers had to be clearanced a bit just inboard of the piston bore.
