From where? I havent seen any stock of RHD turbo ones since I got the car 3 years ago. Perhaps Ive been looking in the wrong place!

If it's the one I'm thinking of then no. You cant buy any news parts from volvo anymore.

Just service bits and surplus stock that they may have .

You can only get Left hand drive ones now. Someone on here must have one kicking about?

Part numbers are RHD 9204 180-5 and LHD 9204 176-3

A lot of people have been after them in the past 12 months or so. They come up on Ebay sometimes and sell for circa £120+ with all the postage etc.

I just bid on one on eBay and lost! I was bidding against someone who was willing to pay any amount of money. I was prepared to go to £200 max, put in a bid for £160 and it went above that then I didn't have enough time to make another one. One must be out there for reasonable money! I'm happy to pay for it.

Can get aftermarket ones for around £110, which is why Im always baffled that people will pay north of that for used Volvo ones.

Ultra-Racing is the brand, don't be put off by them being a Malaysian company - they make a lot of bracing for rafe car teams so clearly know what they're doing. Lots of positive reviews for their other chassis braces around on Volvospeed, T5D5, and swedespeed too.
