WANTED: Full list of parts & accessories that I'm after.
Hello everyone,
As SGO will be in the shop being welded soon, I think now is a good time to gather some parts together that I need so I can fit them when she gets back. If anyone has any of the following for sale, that would be great
BADGES - 'Limited Edition' & '2.0i'
AUXILIARY GAUGE - Non-Turbo one is preferred, but not a necessity. Even better if you have the sender unit and bracket as well.
SEATBELT ARMS - for both passenger and driver side.
BONNET RELEASE LEVER PLASTIC - Triangle thing that goes on the metal lever.
PARCEL SHELF - Testing the water for this one as I ideally would like a roller blind, but if anyone has the fabric one that would be good too.
RUBBER FLOOR MATS - I have a set of original carpet mats already, but I think rubber ones would be more useful and hard wearing.
Also, if anyone has any official Volvo 480 accessories for sale (cupholder centre arm rest, cassette tape holder, equalizer, mud flaps, etc) then I would be interested.
Thanks everyone

Unfortunately my seat belt arms aren't repairable as they are missing half of the arm. If you have a cassette holder though, I would be interestedAlan 480 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 9:05 pm(unbroken) seat belt arms are in NLA range.....WillC9303 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 03, 2022 8:01 pmHello everyone,

You can buy seatbelt arms from a designer on Shapeways here:

https://www.shapeways.com/product/4TCQJ ... 5&li=shops
https://www.shapeways.com/product/PGYNP ... 1&li=shops
It looks like the colour will be not quite right but it’s the best you are going to get unless you stumble upon a second hand pair which will likely be more expensive too.

Parcel shelf. The fabric one don't need fixings as such - they should be there already; Small plastic clips that it hooks over. The roller blind however, has two dedicated mountings. If someone is selling you one, MAKE SURE it comes with these mountings.
Rubber mats? Don't know if they exist. There's "snow mats" which are hard plastic? Again the thing the be careful of is that there are subtle differences between LHD/RHD mats, so do make sure any you are offered are from RHD cars.

I would add that the “snow mats” are pretty horrible in real use unless it really is snowing. Just get yourself some new mats and the interior will look great. Search through my old posts and you will see I sent an original set of Volvo mats to be copied at a certain company— other companies sell ones supposedly for the 480 but are far too small.

i used an old set of heavy duty 'cannon' for years from a breaker, but couldn't find them 'locally' when they eventually fell apart new ones seem too rigid and all came in sets of four

I have the snow mats and they are very good for keeping mud off the carpet, but also keeping it damp. Also don't bother driving with the drivers snow mat in place as it is a horrible experience.
As for the cassette holder, I think you can carry more cassettes in the standard cubby than in the specialised holder, I have space for around 8 cassettes in there
