343 Instrument wiring plug

Clan · May 13th, 2015, 20:30

Has anyone got an old wiring plug from the loom for the instrument panel complete with about 6 inches of wiring ? I need to replace a few terminals in mine ... There are 2 12 pin plugs which go into the bottom of the instrument panel . 1988 the exact year but 1987 or later should be the same ( and 1982-6 probably )
Also a source of sill repair panels for a 343 ?

Many thanks in anticipation

Hi Nick,

I'm sure someone scrapping a car can assist. I was worried it was going to be for your very early car - that might have been more of a challenge!

cheers

Hi Nick,

I've been stripping one of my parts cars so can cut off the plugs with some cable on for you.

Hi James ,

I have found the older the volvo the more reliable and better quality ! Thanks to Dai for having a connector ...

Original sills for the 300 series (all versions) have been NLA now for some 5 years.

I think that I have some alternative ones for the 343 in "the shed" and otherwise, depending on the section that has rusted, I may have some original cutoffs kicking around.
Are you coming to the VOC National?

hello,
I have patched up the sills several times over the years, so the time has come to fit new outer skins if possible both sides.
If you do have a pair of 343 outer sills that is half the battle won ..
No not going to the national , where is it this year?

Hi Nick,
good to see you around.
Repair panels.....have you seen www.carz2.co.uk ? I used them for some rear arches on my 440, repairer said they were good. Also pointed someone else to them who said they were far cheaper than his other source.
Hope it helps
