In the immortal words of someone or other - If at first you don't succeed, concede defeat.

I have concluded that the backing plates would require major surgery to fit the Valdez, on account of their not having the hole for the ABS sensor, so re-assembled the front with a shiny new hub, from Partsforvolvos, and bolts from Rybrooks local branch.

If anyone is looking for a set of non-ABS front disc backing plates feel free to contact me.
