No way Bud. There are a bunch of Volvo specialists around and they are
much more easily obtainable than T series MG stuff. Many items are
still available through the dealers. If you ever go to Import Carlisle,
you will find several vendors there. One of them (Joe Lazenby of
Susquehanna Spares) has two warehouses right there in Carlisle chock
full of old Volvos and parts. Like many old cars, if you know where to
go, you can find it.
