In search of new brake accumulator

Hi friends,
The brake accumulator is gone.
Mine is the black sphere one (1991 b18ftm engine).
I know Volvo don't make them anymore so I will have to get it from another brand. I saw someone using one from a Jaguar, but the link was broken.
Has anyone been able to find a suitable replacement?
Can you share a link to the part?
Thanks

Probably is also possible to use the Bosch 0265202070 accumulator, it is a bit smaller but has the same thread and is cheaper.

The BOSCH is working well on several SAAB C900 that previously used the Jaguar part and now are installing the BOSCH accumulator, much cheaper (myself for example).
Many cars of that era shared the same brake TEVES system.

I have re-purposed a vacuum booster and master cilinder from a honda civic. I wouldn't recommend as it was a huge hassle (although i would do it again for sure). I would suggest finding a non theeves (later version) or a manual, one. Add a t Splitter and you are good to go.
