AFAIK the B16 powered 122's had drum brakes up front, same as the PV. The -65 cars had 3 piston calipers up front for whatever reason - 1 big piston on one side and two small on the other. I think pads are slightly easier to find for the later (65-) 4 piston calipers.

I don't think you will be able to buy the caliper mounts and (possibly) the dust shield new, although you could get new calipers, rotors and wheel bearings. You'll probably need to find a donor car for the mount and shield. I don't know if the early and late caliper mounts are the same - I'd check part numbers on www.gcp.se but it seems to be down right now.
