Dual circuit brakes 120-130

Fellow Brickboarders,
I am continuing with my research into a simple dual circuit brake conversion for all of us single circuit Volvo owners. I have located a Volvo dual curcuit master cylinder, with the help of some fellow brickboarders, that is a direct bolt in. Now I am looking at the front brakes. I was hoping someone out there has a four piston caliper and backing plate from a later model 120 or 1800 that I could borrow for some measurements and comparison. I would be glad to pay S&H (from inside the USA) if I could look at the parts. They do not need to be new or clean, and I will send them back as soon as I have the information I need. It appears from the parts manuals that the four piston caliper will bolt up too older Volvos with the correct backing plate, but I need both parts to confirm this theory.
As soon as I have all of the information together I will post it here so that anyone else who would like to convert to a dual circuit system will have the part numbers and simple instructions.
Thank you all
