a # of things have worried me about this post. first, brakes should be
replaced in pairs (except in very rare instances). my little girl has
a brain & can deal, but anything that old will "hang a louie" if the
calipers are mismatched old & new. second,year by year the 2xx series
only had one "system". there were different component suppliers, but
technically an ATE part should perform exactly the same as a Girling.
third, the VIN is many,many places on your vehicle-- it's not a
handgun, you cannot "file" off the serial #. why, don't you look where
i do, @ a piece of paper. the registration & title both have that #.
finally, i admit most brake work is idiot's work, that is why midas
exists. it is also lifesafety. given the ?s that you have asked;
maybe, you should get some hands-on help. we all learned somehow.
