Re: [T3] 73 Front Brakes on a '70

["Dave Hall" <dave@hallvw.clara.co.uk>]

4-pot are calipers with two cylinders and pistons *each* side.  It
makes the
Swedish M 594 a very safe option for braking, but since virtually
every part apart from the fluid is special for this system, it's
probably an almost impossible task to find bits for it outside
Sweden.
They had twin pipes and hoses almost everywhere, too.  I think it
was an answer to Volvo for its accent on safety.  The front-rear
split we have isn't as safe as a pot each side for the front and one
rear side on each circuit.
