The only difference is that the Bagheera pads have wear indicators and Volvo ones have not.
The rear brake pads for the Bagheera are the same as brake pads for Fiat 130 and Ritmo, Lotus Esprit and Excel, Renault 5,17, 18, 21, 30, Alpine, Espace and Fuego.

Hi Spyros, The only difference is that the Bagheera pads have wear indicators and Volvo ones have not.
You are probably right but I got the info regarding the Volvo pads from the Swedish distributor of EBC brakes. EBC has the same part number listed for the Bagheera front pads and the Volvo rear pads so by them there is no difference. Best regards, Stig

I have a bagheera from 74, do any of you know a car with the same brakes? I think that the rear-pads and front-pads are the same.
No, the front pads and the rear pads are not similar at all. As we explained earlier in this subject: The Bagheera front pads are the same as the rear pad for many different Volvo models. The front pads for a Simca Horizon also fits the Bagheera front brakes. The Bagheera rear pads are the same as pads for different Fiat, Lotus, Renaults and Simcas, as mentioned earlier. New Bagheera rear pads are 14 mm thick. The Murena does have the same pads but 15 mm thick, as do Citroėn Visa, Renault 14 and Peugeot 104 and 305. The Renault 16 and 18 have the same pads but 16 mm thick. Some Lancias, Autobianchi A112 and Fiat Chroma also have these pads but only 12 mm thick when new I hope this will answer your question Lasse

The front pads for a Simca Horizon also fits the Bagheera front brakes.
µ µ Hi Lasse,µ µ I would precise "some Simca horizon..." They used different types of front brake calipers on the different models of Horizon. On one of my Bagheera I fitted these calipers to benefit from a bigger pad surface.µ µ When I speak of the braking material, I mean that depending of the material used the properties might be quite different. µ Matra issued a couple of notices on the right quality of pads

OK. And I quote myself from a Murena subject: The Horizon has three diffrent kinds of front calipers - Lucas/Girling, ATE/Teves or Bendix. As far as I know, the Murena has either ATE/Teves or Bendix front calipers. None of the brake pads for the Horizon are the same as any brake pads for the Murena. Talbot Alpine 1980-85, Talbot Escorial, Simca 1510, Talbot Solara, Sunbeam Minx and Sunbeam Rapier with ATE/Teves calipers use the same front brake pads as the Murena. Talbot Alpine 1979-80, Simca 1300 1979 and Simca Alpine 1978-83 with Bendix calipers use the same front brake pads as The Murena

Hi Spyros, When you say that they can enlarge the wheels dont you think that they just add material to the outer rim so that you can mount a larger tire ? If this is the case then it would not give any extra room for larger brakes Regards, Stig
