I was looking at the front calipers on the daf, and it's allmost identical with the rear calipers from volvo 142 amongst others, anyone ever tried putting those on?

I've heard that VW Beetle calipers fit, never heard of using Volvo ones

Managed to find new vw beetle calipers, and brake lines. Two of each with brakepads. With shipping it landed on approximately 175 euro. That's a bargain!

It looks as though the discs need replacing too!

It looks as though the discs need replacing too! They're actually solid. Just alot of surface rust that I've since removed. =) |

Skimmed? Have had them since "sanded" or what it is they do to make them smooth.
