Yes, Vern, apologies for the confusion. I removed the Girlings and installed the calipers from a 3500S. If one has access to any of the Girling mounted swivel pillars the job is bolt on. I've not had experience with the early Dunlop applications.

I think I figured it out, I think Gross was talking about putting 3500S calipers on the front of a Girling braked TC. That is a bolt on.
