Rare early 240 alloys. - Page 3

Haha, some of the parts will probably get sold, but only when I've decided 100% that I don't need them - because they're very hard to replace!

And the Polaris wheels have been offered (only on loan) as a bribe to nick_ovlov to help persuade him to get a RWD Volvo when he decides to repalce the 480. He's talking about all sorts of nonsense cars, so I'm trying to keep him on the right track!!

These alloys were as far as I know optional on the early 264 and originally fitted on the early 262 (1977-1979) .The later 262 models have the Coronas.

Hi

This info might have come in late. These Volvo wheels came standard for 1978 262Cs and 264Cs and some 264 GLE models. The Part No. is 11228491-6.

In relation to this, I am looking for the "V" center caps that go with these wheels. I would appreciate if someone can direct me where I can buy a set.

I believe the caps were common to early-mid 80s 300 series wheels. They're extremely hard to find, not helped by the fact that they have a habit of falling out! I've had to start gluing them in place, as I lost two last year

There is talk about 3D printing replacements.

cheers

The logo sticker on the center cap can easily be copied. My problem is sourcing a similar cone shaped center cap for these type of wheels.
