Yes indeed - (Lucas) Girling was the original manufacturer of these style calipers for Saab. They were also my first employer out of University (1985 until 1993)! AP Lockheed had a similar front sliding/swinging caliper design (minus the handbrake mechanism) that was used on the British Leyland ADO16 range of cars in the 1960s/70s. Really high quality restoration going on here - keep it up!

So I guess he lives somewhere nearby. Over nine months without any info is super suspicious. Maybe someone can find out more.

I discovered your channel a couple of days ago, and I truly love what I see! I’m from Sweden and also started the EXACT same project like you in 2006-2007, but i had to stop when I became a father. I hold on to the car a couple of months until I sold it. Today it’s up and running, the new owner continued my project, the cars is now worth around 20-25k€ sold it for 1k€ 😅😂 The only difference between my car and your is that my was a SAAB 900 T16, aero, 2 doors, sunroof, red leather seats and electrical windows. 1985 😍 I miss it every day, and thinking about doing a remake of my dream project when the kids are old enough lol. I also would like to do this project with a SAAB 9-3 coupe aero (first gen). I almost did start a total remake of a 9-5 aero Hirsch 2001, but got another kid so needed a 7 seater lol. I have a lot of knowledge about Saab in general, so feel free to ask me anything! I will truly follow this series!!!! You’re a great “speaker” and a good mechanic, this Saab will probably be one of the finest out there on the roads. And if it’s hard to sell it in Belgium, you should really try to sell it in Sweden. I recon you will get about 10-15k€ when you’re done. Maybe even more. To bad it’s not a turbo tho :(

Voordat het een budget project betreft bezuinig je niet op belangrijke als remmen en dus veiligheid. Al met al wordt een mooi project en als de wagen straks op de weg is geeft dat veel voldoening te weten dat alles er weer piekfijn voor staat ! Wat je volgende auto betreft.....de deur hendel komt mij bekent voor maar nee weet niet wat voor auto ons te wachten staat. Helaas dus geen kans op een sticker ! De Volvo van je vader is ook een prachtige auto en ja soms moet je afscheid durven nemen van een auto maar dat vind en vond ik nooit gemakkelijk.

So, some info about the brake calipers. That piston should not have come off from the screw mechanism. Those tabs in the piston should be pressed in so that they grab onto the beveled part of the screw mechanism. Also the part of the piston housing that the yoke slides on tends to wear away which leads to a "thunk" when swtiching to reverse. New calipers are stilling being made in sweden by a company that manufactures parts for a snow machine (which uses these brakes). BV206 calipers is the term you want to search for. Also check out the blog post "My pre-1988 brakes tutorial to end all tutorials - c900" for most all the info on rebuilding these front brake calipers. The blog post doesn't go into detail about how to replace the piston, but I'd be willing to share my experience figuring out how to do it.
