Availability of New Parts

[Captain Slow]

I can see the metal of the rear bumper being a good thing for him to reproduce. I'm sure we all have rusty ones...

[Ulrika480]

contacted Joep Vrijling and they are looking to supply the following ?and? re manufacture the tail-lights and the rear steel bumper but all depends on the cooperation from Volvo-Cars and Hella. part available are prices in the same order of sequence:
Spoiler € 125.002
speed cog wheel € 16.003)
Trim Washer(set) € 24.004)
Glasses side-markers € 65.005)
Glasses direction indicator € 51.006)
Seals side-markers €23.007)
taillights € 20.008)
direction indicator € 7.009
Repair block window € 24.00
So we have to support people like Joep Vrijling if we want to keep are cars on the road

Apologies if I'm being a bit stupid because I have had a heavy week at work and at home (!).
> I don't understand all the descriptions and prices:-

Speed cog wheel > What is this ?
Tail-lights > Seals ?
Repair block window > What is this ?

Thanks

Hi cut and pasted from the email he sent me but his list is in the for sale post

Repair block window is the plastic part in the window motor that often breaks, you can use it if the steel wire is still ok
(with Dutch manual and 3 screws)

Speed cog wheel is apparently a cog that wears in the speedo

Tail-lights > Seals ? is what it is replacement remanufactured seals like the ones originally fitted when new to the rear lights
I have just received these and they look the business

A 125 euros for a spoiler + postage too pricey for me . Still Dutch prices are always higher than ours.

Hi Jim, I know what you mean, but please bear in mind that my spoilers are way tougher then original Volvo ones, fitment is perfect, quality is so much better as earlier reproductions here and on other places....
We (my dad and I) have high quality standards.
- A class materials
- perfect fitment
- good quality general
- lasting...

Seen some copy's of front spoilers and snow caps and had to laugh....

Here are some pics :







Following piccy is an equasion between our reproduction and a set of someone that is hiding in a cave somewhere...



I also have repro cog wheels and a solution for the broken plastic of the window motors.... and as you might have read, working on more parts....

I bought some seals from Joep, and the turn around was very quick indeed. Great person to deal with! If he was to reproduce some rear light clusters, he'd have a buyer right here!

[CaptainQwerty]

I need new rear light seals as well.

[480s partner]

@V480TI : Do you have plans for a snow cap reproduction?

[CaptainQwerty]

@V480TI : Do you have plans for a snow cap reproduction?

Will think of the snow cap reproductions, but that means that I have to take my original snowcap apart...
The snowcap actually consists of 2 parts, wich are put together.

Just a question. Has anny body ever seen or come across reproduction or aftermarked rear light clusters ? mayby in a tuning shop or something like that ?

Thanks

[glasgowjim]

Chrisdk the answer is no

[ChrisDK]

Thanks for the reply
What a shame Maybe there is a marked for reproducing such items or maybe not, I suspect the reproduction price would be high.

Nice weekend to all

[ChrisDK]

Was just reading an old post with a likn to the dutch forum. I'm not wery good at dutch but it seems ther might be a chance that skadix.de will be reproducing rear weel arches repair panels.

Chris the comments are sceptic about the company. For people who order a pair up front they are €180 a pair plus shipping. Later they would be sold for €220 to €240. Front order is without obligation though.

The guys write they are to expensive and probably won't be a perfect copy anyway. So they would have to make fit. One guy writes he had the right rear wheel arch of his '87 ES replaced with one of a 440 and that piece was only €25. It's said that you better invest your money in a good body repair shop.
He says that company is also selling rear lights for €380 each what is considered overpriced. The company apparently offers to buy your lights for €160 each.

Should you want to pre-order you have to register on the linked German forum. As said, pre-order is without obligation to actually take them once they are produced.

Hi Van
Thanks for the translation I knew it was to good to be true It could have been sweet for everybody who needs new whel arches.

[AcidicDavey]

I contated Scandcar today. I asked them about the rear lights and they've come back to me saying that they are working on a reproduction.

I also asked about indicators, and they said that they also have plans to reproduce those!

Very happy with that, hope that they make them...

Stephen

Any progress on this yet?? I'll need some new lights soon as I've removed the originals.

[Nickdog]

I'd like some new rears too without paying through the nose. I want some new front lenses too but not found any. Clear ones not the orange. I hope they reproduce!

I sent them an email yesterday asking if they were sorting something and all they responded with was that they are no longer available!

I hope to get the car back on the road soon but I have no rear lights, I'm not sure what I'm going to do! If I can't find any once I've sold my Golf I might just buy a different car again and hope someone make the clusters again!

[glasgowjim]

when you say no rear lights do you mean absolutely no rear light clusters ?
