NB the Volvo OEMs have a three point fixing on each suspension turret.

Thanks for all that - I just messaged the seller in the top link you provided and he said it won't fit a V70!?! I rather suspect otherwise though. Second, third, fourth opinions welcomed..

The Volvo ones were all for 850 and 70/V/C/S models. I see no reason why it shouldn't fit a V70 if it fits a an 850.....

The item was probably created on an 850 and therefore its the only listing the manufacturer has. Its the bolt on wings of the 70 cars that were different on the front end, the chassis and under the hood is pretty identical.

That's how I've always understood it - cheers!!

I think you're right, the 1st series V70's had the same frame and similar suspension layout to the 850s & C70s - the C70 differ in the lower arms etc the top of the turrets are the same.

The fusebox is mounted to the NS turret on x70's, maybe that interferes with the ultra racing brace?

Just been doing a little googling on this, looks like they do a obd1 & 2 version, it looks like the obd2 version is designed to work with the turret mounted fuse box on the very late 850s....

did the late 850s definitely have a fusebox mounted on the turret?

I am tempted to have a punt on an ebay one but delivery date is July, when I ordered something else ultra racing it took about 3 months longer than it was supposed to

It is worth giving minty or one of the other breakers listed at https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=150857 a ring.

You never know your luck.

Thanks all, very useful. Whilst keen to fit a brace I think I need to check the suspension to make sure it doesn’t need refreshing first.

Any further thoughts on this?? I'm on the verge of the Buy button, though where does it say July for delivery??
