BRAKES HELP PLEASE !

Hi all.

I need some help please.

I have been to buy some brake pads for my 1991 240 SE Estate and they've asked me what make the calipers are.

I've had the wheels off to look but there are no signs of any maker's name. Any advice please ?

Photo's of the calipers are here: http://www.western-heights.com/Volvo/Volvo.htm

Thanks.

Girling. ATE calipers have 'ATE' moulded into the body. A second opinion would always be useful though.

Look at the reataining pins if there is a R clip through the pin its a Girling - if its a knock in pin its ATE - simple R = GiRling.
