As title guys n' gals.

I've just picked up a '53 plate C70 2.4T GT.

It needs front discs & pads among a handful of other things, and I've still got a pair of BNIB V70R caliper carriers kicking around that never got fitted to my 850R a few years ago, so I'm thinking if I'm buying discs and pads, I might as well buy bigger ones!

Other than caliper carriers, is there owt else needed to convert a P80 car to run the V70R 330(?)mm front discs?

I can now after a bit more digging, update this myself.

The carriers I've got are for 302mm discs (though I'm not certain of the list of cars that were specced with that dia, but I'm aware of '99/'00 V70R and T5 getting them so far).

To convert you need the caliper carriers (Volvo PN: 106885) and the longer hoses from one of the cars that were fitted with 302s. I haven't got a part number for those, can't zero in on anything specific yet, and I'm just going to do Goodridge braided hoses while I'm replacing hoses anyway - so I won't be finding an OEM part number but I'll edit this with the Goodridge part no. when I've confirmed the right set for the job.
