I think you can get the rubber originals from Born Built Beauties - I think whatever you choose they will give a nice benefit over bushes that could potentially be 36 years old :shock: :lol:
The ones from BBB are not NOS but fresh rubber.
What ever you choose, it will be better than before.

Re: MY 82 343 Radio removal

The person who can probably tell you will be S10NPH.
I will have a look in the books, but so far they have not been forthcoming....
My gutt feeling says that there will be something to push in on the sides behind the cover around the radio

New B172 top hoses for the 340 now available from Born-Built-Beauties

Not yet on the website but I wanted to get the word out that the top hoses for the B172 have just arrived at "BBB's cave of goodies".
So now both the top and bottom hoses are available again....

Re: Shock absordes

Born-Built-Beauties also sells GAZ stocks.

Re: Is anyone still alive ;-?

If my memory is working correctly i’m still about - older, crumblier and much grumpier. Mac (I think). We are still here, my dearest Mac, though you have departed us last Saturday to drive your redline in the skies. I am grieving your loss and will miss you enourmously my friend as you left us too ...

Wanted: RF exterior doorhandle for down under

Is there anyone in NZ or in OZ willing to part with a right hand side exterior door handle for a '87 360 in Victoria?

New parts from Born-Built-Beauties for the 300 series

It has taken a while but Born-Built-Beauties has just released the speedometer cables for the LHD cars (sorry chaps but no RHD yet :shock: ) and the gas springs for the tailgate in both versions (with and without spoiler) as these differ in strength....

Re: Vario belts

Try Born-Built-Beauties.eu .
They sell the original Volvo belts for 238 euro.

It may also be a worn EMV, but you'll need to open it to know.
BBB also sells a kit for that.

Is the rest of your vacuum system leaktight?

The artical can be read here : http://www.born-built-beauties.eu/html/practical_classics_5-191.html Cybille is now in the running for the coveted golden spann...

Re: Urgent opinions required: Diff cover plates

That is a poor replacement, can't believe someone bothered to sell it! Better used examples will certainly be out there, along with a repaint, gasket kit from Mac/Born Built Beauties and possibly some blue hylomar for belt and braces, you'll be good! :) I am even surprised that someone dared to tak...
