There are two makes of caliper fitted to both the 740 and the 960, DBA and Girling. For both makes there are different calipers for cars without ABS and for those with ABS.

The DBA calipers without ABS will fit both the 740 and the 960.The DBA calipers with ABS will not fit both.

The Girling calipers without ABS and with ABS are not interchangeable between the two cars.
