Volvo should still sell them. I bought a pair of fronts a few months back. Rears I need to go and buy now, so I hope they still are around. There are several types I have seen, which as far as I can make out are Volvo OEM and a third party, so I'll look to see if there is any makers stamp next time I get to play on my project.

that'd be good chris!

i'll have to contact volvo to see if they still do them but they'll be expensive i guess?

The fronts weren't, £8 a side. I'm guessnig the rears will be similar! I forgot to buy news for my tubby, and had to put the engine in with old ones

Still, hopefully will be able to replace them soon.

The two types are early (steel front cover 1.7) with solid square blocks and teh later (plastic fornt cover 1.7) with funny looking mounts. I think the later ones intended to reduce noise.
