Not sure about any other that fit, do you?Why is everyone using the 206 boss? Is it cheaper or something?

Wrong part: The spleen is a body organ. A spline is a ridgy/toothy thing for mating rotating parts.Benfraser wrote:as i knew it would fit the spleen
(not having a pop like, it's just that so far in this thread, spline isn't mentioned and it would be handy to mention it so it'll come up if someone searches for it)
Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
i got a 340 boss for mine and it has no bit for the horn, it was only £1 odd for a button. the annoying thing iv noticed is i now forget to put my indicators off
Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
You have to pop the indicator cancel thingy off your orig wheel, normally clips onto a 300 boss. Might be a bit of mucking about on a pug one though

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
I meant has it got a place for the wires to go through? Sadly mine hasnt, however i think i might be able to modify it a bit. I didnt know you could use the original indicator canceler thingy, i'll have to try that. How does it come off the original wheel?i got a 340 boss for mine and it has no bit for the horn, it was only £1 odd for a button. the annoying thing iv noticed is i now forget to put my indicators off

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Just drill a hole in the flat bit of the boss and put your horn wires through there, thats what i did, job sorted.
I can't actually remember how the horn ring comes off of the old wheel, but i needed to dremmel the inside of the hole to make it fit tightly on the new boss.

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Couple of plastic tabs moulded into the cancel thing, you'll get horn wiring and cancelling in one.

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Its a 205 boss by the way, not a 206 haha
Looking good Just need some wheels and some lows and you'l be a rocking Although looking at how clean your car is, i wouldnt recommend decking it

Ok so i have finally got the photos off my camera of my bumpers and what the lin seed oil really is capable of! NOt many good before shots but a few good after ones Also i got my fascia adapter through the other day with the lead adapter ready for a radio to go in...
Firstly a few quick photos of the fascia that i bought from incarmusic for only a tenner with the adaption cables needed for a modern head unit:
Old casset player out.. New fascia in.. Also the cable adaption comes with it..
Next is the LIN SEED OIL!!! Here are the before pics. I dont the two bumpers and the front grill as they were all pretty dull and grey looking.. The next pics will follow of after!! Havent got any pics of the rear bumper before but here they are......

Re: Volvo 340 GL 1.7 Build Thread
Ok so here are the pics of the bumpers and the grill after and it still has the wet look to it...
Ben..
The front bumper needed a second coat after this one and the grill is not done in these pics..
So after this had dried off the next day i went over the front bumper and also done the grill, well happy with how the grill came out! As well as making it look blacker it took the white spots off of it
Would highly recomend this to anyone, i bought mine from amazon for about 5 pound delivered
