V70 Brakes: - What are these?

reggit · Dec 8th, 2018, 16:48

I recently replaced the rear brakes on my v70 and had these bits pictured in the kit of parts. No idea what they are for, unless the later cars have some sort of auto adjuster.

Just making sure I can chuck them really!

Those are manual adjusters, not actually fitted to the v70/s60 range but are a common upgrade to the handbrake mechanisam.

Ok thanks.

Handbrake works well now everything lubricated and adjusted. Don’t think they’ll be getting used.

I'd offer to buy 'em from you as I'll be adding them (and tossing the "H" bar) when I do my rears.

Years ago friends seemed always to be always crossing the pond. Just occasional local postage involved.

Today it seems the international mail rates are supporting the rest of our postal services.
We used to have something called "Surface" which implied a package went by boat. It was cheap and a tad slow but SO FREQUENTLY your parcel was just tossed onto a jet plane.

They could add a bit of interest to a dark corner of the Christmas tree ?
