Right front wing

Hello all,

For my 1988 3dr 360, I need a rust and dent free right front wing.
Its color is 227-5 (baby blue). I live in Holland.
The current wing on the picture seems OK, but it is heavily rusted
and cracked near the A-pillar and at the lower front.
Please make me an offer.

Electronic fuel pump B200

Hello,

I'm looking for a second hand electronic fuel pump (Bosch) for the B200 models.
Should be in working condition of course.

Regards,
François

Re: Carbs in bitz

I put in the new float. I exchanged the butterfly valves and positioned them accurately in such a way that the gap is very close to zero when they are closed. I checked with a lamp shining through it. The tiny M4 bolts have been secured with Loctite. Then I checked the basic settings again, as Mac m...

Re: Carbs in bitz

Today I purchased a new float for the carburettor from Robbert Jan.
I will exchange it next weekend and let you know about the progress.

Re: Carbs in bitz

Hi Mac, Thanks for your explanation. I indeed checked the float height with my Mitotoyu: 33.8mm I'm in doubt about the 1mm gap between the choke cam and the top of the screw. P.H. Olving manual says this gap should be 2.7mm as well as the pneumatic choke relief. After many starting attempts, I ended...

Re: Carbs in bitz

I managed to put the carb together, without any parts left. Mac, could you post some pictures about the basic adjustments? How many revolutions from zero do I have to set the CO adjustment screw to get a reasonable idle? Same for the idle screw, choke play, pneumatic choke adjustment, breather relie...

Re: Carbs in bitz

Although I think Mac is doing a great job refurbishing all types of carbs for the Volvo 300, even the price you're asking sounds reasonable considering the amount of hours needed, I would like to do it myself. So the question is, where do I get the bits and pieces to restore one, or, more to the poi...

Re: Carbs in bitz

Hi Mac, I have seen the carburettors in real life at the Dutch VKB. Currently I'm restoring my Solex CISAC 34-34 Z11 myself. The base was warped and will be machined to make it flat again. The float seems OK, but the main gasket has been demolished. I guess this gasket is also used on a Citroen/Peug...

Rear leaf spring consol

Is anyone familiar with MOT failure of the rear leaf spring consols, because of rust? It is the part holding the shackles at the rear. Part number is 3267522-5 and Volvo does not deliver it any more. Now I have two 360 GLT's which suffer from this. So I need 2 pair of rear leaf spring consols. Is th...

360 front bumper and hood color 184-5 (grey).

For restauration of my 3 door 360GLT, I'm looking for a front bumper
and a hood color number 184-5.
This color was available from 1984-1987.
After 1987 this color was replaced by light grey metallic (306-1).

Oh Dave, you're going to regret this! A 360 GLT injection 3dr version is very rare, also in Holland. Were the half-leather seats fitted from the factory? If so, I have never seen them in Holland, only full leather upholstery. Dents from supermarket trollies can be removed by a special technique call...
