Default Looking for 1975 164 Front brake Rotors/Calipers. Do they Exist??

Hello everyone, I have a 1975 Volvo 164E that needs front rotors and calipers. It has the ATE brakes. I cannot find these rotors or calipers ANYWHERE. I have looked everywhere I can think of. They appear to be completely non-existant. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can find the Girling equipment, but the later ATE equipment appears to be completely not supported anymore.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I called. They have 1 rotor (which is the most I have ever found) and can't source another. I swear its the last unicorn. They can't get any calipers either. It's sad, as this is how cars like this die. We can no longer source parts.

Hello
I have a 164 with ATE calipers and have replaced them,
your car is 1974 so I'm pretty sure that the calipers and discs (sorry rotor, I'm from the UK) from an early 240 will fit, it does not matter if you fit girling ones instead as you just need new pads for these
call IPD or other specialists and ask if the calipers from a 240 will fit and also if you fit the vented type rotor caliper you obviously fit the vented rotor too.
you can use European sites for parts comparisons

look here for parts availability they have just about everything

https://www.cvi-automotive.se/en/art...-ate-front-72- based in Sweden but will send to the USA

just have a google for some other places like these ones

Volvo Import Service, Parts & Sales Specialists based in the USA
www.scandix.de based in Germany but send to the USA
www.classic-volvo.com based in Holland but send to the USA
www.yoshifab.com based in the USA

Hope this helps it's my first post on the forum.
Regards
Andy
