hi i have heard of people running volvo 4 pot front calipers on a nova.
could anyone tell me which volvo these calipers are off and what they need to fit.
presuming they are almost identical fit as the ones i have seen still use the 256mm disc.
also have seen alot of rally boys using vag parts for nova rear disc conversion.could anyone give any info on this. thanks

The rear disc set up from a Golf Mk II and similar aged cars is what they normally use.

Has a 4 bolt fitting like Nova Drums and Cavalier Discs so the conversion follows along the same lines. Handbrake is in the caliper, think most people adapt the Golf handbrake cable and use that.

If you're unsure I can take a photo of an early and late golf caliper set up to give you a better idea

Just make sure you wind the golf piston back in, don't force it, it'll break the handbrake mechanism

Now that I don't know, but I have spare rear beams and Golf rear disc set-ups lying around, so I'll take a look tomorrow for you :thumb:
