I just opened Brickboard and was greeted to the usual random photograph -- but this one really caught my eye! The poster claimed that it was a picture (shown below) of a REAR (yes, rear!) Vented (yes, vented!) rotor for 240's.

The original post post in the images gallery included the following caption:
"Photograph from Ebay offering # 8020887595 claiming to be vented rotor for rear brakes on Volvo 200 and 700 series vehicles. Volvo pn: 270736."

Does anyone have more information about this? I realize that it would require different calipers -- the rotor's thickness is clearly greater than that of the solid rotors with which we're all so familiar.

Anyway, here's the photo:

The key words here are claiming to be.

270736-2 was the Volvo part number for the solid, and only, 240 rear brake rotor. That number was superseded by 31262098.

If Volvo thought we needed ventilated rear brake rotors, Volvo would have given us ventilated rear brake rotors.

Hello,


That's a front rotor dude. Don't believe everything everywhere every time.
