Help for a rusty 360 GLT.

Post by **quentin** » 31 Aug 2004 10:48 pm

Hy guy,

I come from the french forum to ask for help!

At the moment, I'm restaurating a 1983 360 GLT.

I have some trubbles with the rust and I need to change a little part that is fixed on bottum of the the front wings:

These parts (one for each side) have the catalogue number:
3287114 and 3287115

My local volvo dealer said to me that these parts weren't available anymore.

I don't know (and so doesn't he) if that means only for France.

If some of you have the opportunity to ask in there countries, it would be much appreciated.

Hello,

The parts are still available. However, you have the old catalogue numbers, they have changed. They can be looked up in the Vadis software (dealer must have it). I can give you new catalogue numbers, but no sooner than tomorrow morning.

Hello,

Thank you very much for the information.

My volvo dealer is a wanker, every time I come for some parts he just doesn't want to waist some time for a 360.

I didn't even knew for that new numbers....

I'll wait till tomorrow, many thanks

No problem, I will have the numbers tomorrow.

A lot of numbers have been changed so the old catalogues sometimes don't work which causes confusion.

Well, I have more good news: Every part for every Volvo model is still available. I hope it stays that way.

That's really good news

For the moment, have always found what I was asking for, that's why I was surprised to be told that this part doesn't exist anymore...

Hello,

Unfortunately the license for Vadis software at my dealer expired. They promised to give me the information tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience!

AAAAAAAAaaaaaaa, my heart......

No problem, but are you really sure this part is still available?

Anyway if you can find some thing it'll be very cool.

Thanks

Hello,

These two parts alone are not available. They are only available together with the inner wing (the part that they attach to).

However from the picture it seems that they could be repaired by welding in new patches. I think someone who knows about welding could repair it pretty easily and it would be the cheapest way.
