Production profile

CVI Automotive has been active in procuring parts for classic Volvo cars since 1992. We have made literally thousands of phone calls and sent hundreds of letters to an array of established as well as new suppliers alike in order to explore manufacturing possibilities, with differing rates of success.

A brief chronology of procurement follows (as examples only - the full inventory is too long to publish), with the relevant part numbers in brackets:

  • 2019 Water pipe under the water pump on B20E and B20F engines re-made. Part no is 460438
    The difference between 460438 and the B18 and B20A/B type pipe (418334) is a slight difference in angle where the pipe bends.

  • 2018 3-way brake pipe union on rear axle (87696) re-made.

  • 2018 Chromed outer door handles for P1800 and 1800S 1961-1966 models re-made (664517 LH, 664518 RH). We are currently working on the push button for these (664531), as well as the later type outer door handles fitted 1967-1973 (671944 LH, 671945 RH), which hopefully will be available early 2019.
  • 2018 Interior lamp assembly for PV544, P210 Duett, Amazon (662109) re-introduced with new tooling paid for by CVI. These were originally made in Germany by Hella. Tooling became too worn after some 60 years of use and Hella were not willing to re-invest.

  • 2017 Elbow union pipe at the back of the cylinder head on B18/B20 engines (418421) re-made. Also, the clutch hydraulic pipes for LHD Amazons and P1800s shaped to fit were re-introduced. Part numbers are 667079-OE for Amazon and 665172 for P1800.

  • 2014 Water pipe under the water pump on B18/B20 engines (418334) re-manufactured and finished in original style engine red colour. Thermostat housing for 200/700/900 (463434) also made.

  • 2014 Water return pipes that run along the side of the engine on B18/B20 engines re-made. Part numbers are 419331 and 419414 (which is almost identical to 418628 and therefore replaces it).

  • 2013 Oil filler caps re-manufactured. 403515 fits B4B/B14A/B16/B18 engines. This is a non-vented cap. 418954 fits B18/B20 engines. This is a vented cap. 421753 fits B30 engines as well as B17/B19/B21/B23 1975-1984.

  • 2012 Turn-signal switches made for 544/210 (658333), Amazon (657317), 140/164 (1210245), P1800 (662533) and 1800E/ES (685339) made.

  • 2012 Overdrive switches made for 122S/123GT (663047), 140 & 164 (677479) and 1800E/ES (1210334).

  • 2011 Fuel filler caps (lockable with Volvo logo) made with new tooling for Volvo PV444/544 and Volvo Amazon sedan. Part number 277360. Similar cap for 140/164 to 1973 also made (277359).

  • 2011 Fuel tank for PV544 (late B16 cars + all B18 cars) made. 260029. The difference between 28053 and 260029 is that the air equalization hole for 28053 is in a different position to that on 260029. This means that, if you wish to fit a 260029 to a car that has originally been fitted with a 28053 tank, then you must chop a hole in the bodywork, something which owners of fine cars may not be willing to do. So make sure you order from CVI, as we are the only ones who have made the eralier tank as well as the later one.

  • 2011 Fuel tank for PV444 and early 544 (early B16) made. Part number 28053

  • 2010  Gear lever/shift knob made for PV544 and Amazon. Part number 663942 fits for 4-speed gearboxes, 661159 for 3-speed.
     
  • 2010  Plastic spacer between fuel pump and engine block re-manufactured. Part number 460678 fits B4B/B14A/B16/B18/B20/B30A engines 1947-1976.
  • 2010 Clutch slave cylinder for Amazon and P1800 made. 673030. This comes with the pushrod and the adjuster nut and special rounded nut that mates with the clutch lever.

  • 2010 Repair kits (with and without new pistons) for brake calipers and master cylinders for Volvo 140/164/200/700/900/850/S70/S90/V70/V90 up to model year 2000 re-sourced. Even for S40 and V40, C70, S60, S80 and XC90. Please check our web shop for details (not all kits are in the web shop yet - will be there soon). Although the aftermarket is packed out with exchange reconditioned brake calipers these days (and even some new ones coming from primarily China), the quality of the new ones can vary dramatically from batch to batch. They are also relatively heavy items to post. We therefore think that to offer kits (particularly those with new pistons) can be a very useful alternative to buying a rebuilt caliper. These days many calipers come with 2 pistons (often just 1), so once stripped into component form they are actually not so difficult to rebuild.

  • 2010 Fuel tank sender units for PV544, Amazon sedan & Amazon wagon (662153, 662152 & 662155) re-manufactured as original. We now also sell these to the Volvo dealership network (via GCP). The sender unit for P210 Duett (89246) has already been sourced.

  • 2010 Directional indicator switches (turn-signal switches) for PV544/P210, Amazon and P1800 (up to 1969 model year) re-manufactured exclusively for CVI. Part numbers are 658333, 657317 and 662533.

  • 2009 All Wagner-type wheel cylinders used in Volvo cars from 1947 until 1968 now re-sourecd. Part numbers are 87450, 87451, 88323, 659673, 659683, 667166 and 673391. 87450 and 667166 have now been discontinued at Wagner Brake (673391 has not existed from WB for some 20 years) and we imagine it is only a question of time before they are all gone. Hence we have taken steps to have these all re-sourced with new tooling in some cases.

  • 2009 The 3-way union at the front of PV brake master cylinders (87697) re-made for CVI. At the same time we made a one-way union (87697-1) for the same application, to be used by those wishing to fit a remote brake booster to their PV.

  • 2009 Clutch slave cylinder for 700 & 900 turbo (as well as 240 RHD cars) 6843913 re-sourced, along with brake master cylinders for 700/900 without ABS up to 1991 (6819671) and cylinders with ABS (6819749), also up to model year 1991.

  • 2009 Ignition lock barrel (along with 2 new keys) finally made after many years of trying. Part number is 673261. This fits PV544 1958-1966, P210 Duett 1960-1969, Amazon 1958-1968 and P1800 1961-1969. New key blanks are also available for these.

  • 2009 Key blank in same form as original for Amazon B20, 140, 164 and 1800E/ES made for CVI. Part number is 680196.

  • 2008 Wheel trim rings (682086) for 1800E, 1800ES, 140GL and 164 ('71-'75) re-manufactured to concours condition. These truly are superb - probably better than when available from Volvo - but they are expensive, being mainly handmade. We will in 2009 be offering a non-concours version that will also be made of stainless steel but which will not be so highly polished, nor will they be chromed. For those who are "doubters" we can categorically state (with evidence from Volvo's blueprints amongst others) that the originals were always made of stainless steel and that they were subsequently chrome-plated.

  • 2008 Fuel injection harnesses for 140 and 164 received. Part numbers are 688360 (140 1971), 1214821 (140 1972-73), 1214692 (140 1974), 688622 (164 LHD 1972-73), 1215046 (164 LHD 1974) and 1215279 (164 1975). If you've ever wondered why your FI system doesn't seem to work as well as it should, despite replacement of many of the essential ingredients, try a new harness! They are not cheap but they are a nightmare to build because of the many different components and not least the fact that each wire has the same colour, namely white. Original harnesses had numbered cables. However, small volumes simply don't allow for the expense of manufacturing such wiring in the minimum quantities required by the manufacturers.

  • 2008 Horns for 1800E/ES and 164 have now been re-sourced. These were made in the UK by Lucas and supplied to Volvo who sold them as 680859 for high tone and 680860 for low tone.

  • 2008 Air filters for SU HS6 carburettors made for CVI by a manufacturer in the Far East who had previously made them some 20 years ago. Both the early "thin" type (73606) fitted 1961-1966 as well as the later thick type fitted 1967-1968 (672280 and 672281) were made with blue-painted metal outside and with filter paper with a yellow tinge. These have also now been sold into the Volvo network of dealerships worldwide.

  • 2008 Brake adjusters for Amazon & P1800 (668667) fitted in conjunction with Giring rear brakes have now been re-manufactured exclusively for CVI.

  • 2008 Clutch master cylinders (653094) now also re-sourced with a correct-length pushrod, and an excellent price.

  • 2008 Brake master cylinder repair kit for all PV/Duett (276492) now re-sourced. Includes everything that the original Wagner-Lockheed kit - even the shape and size of the outer dust cover is entirely correct (and has Wagner Lockheed stamped into the rubber).

  • 2008 Wiring harnesses for Volvo 1800E and 1800ES are now nearing completion for the entire range of cars built between 1970 and 1973. Volvo divided these into 4 main sections in the Volvo Parts Catalogue (182/183): main harness, dash lighting harness, chassis (tail) harness, and fuel injection (FI) harness. The difficulty for both layman and specialist alike was and still is the deciphering of the codes in the "Notes" column in the parts book. However, in CVI's web shop you will find it fairly easy to work out which sections fit which model type and year of manufacture. Have a look! It's under "Volvo P1800 - Electrical equipment".

  • 2008 Brake booster for dual-circuit Amazon (LHD) and 140 (not B20E/F) re-sourced. Part number used to be 676256 but was subsequently superceded to 1387640.

  • 2007 Inhibitor switch (early 4-pin type 235512) re-sourced for automatic gearboxes of BW35 type. These have been unobtainable for some 10 years or more. At Volvo they have been replaced by an expensive 6-pin type.

  • 2007 Taillamp seals for P1800/S/E (665046) re-manufactured for CVI, along with seals for P1800 headlamp bowl (665041), P1800 wiper spindle seals (669796) and PV/Duett bonnet rest cushions (82429). We already have in stock an excellent P1800 wiper spindle chromed bezel (664607).

  • 2006 Handbrake (parking brake) return spring (653625) for all Amazon plus P1800 1961-1969 made exclusively for CVI.

  • 2006 Needle bearing for laygear (183498) used in M40/M41 gearboxes from 1971 until 1976 now available - again, made exclusively for CVI.

  • 2005 Brake master cylinder repair kit (276461-1) for Amazon & P1800 with single circuit brakesnow resourced. The problem has been that approximately 10-12 years ago FTE altered the size on the piston opening where the seal is positioned, and therefore produced a different seal to fit. However, if you have the Volvo genuine repair kit (which has always been supplied without the piston assembly) or the cheapy PBR kit), then you will have problems if rebuilding a cylinder that was renewed within the last decade or so.

  • 2005 Fuseboxes and Fusebox lids for Amazon, PV544 and P210 now available again. These are exactly as the originals. Part number 192228 for the fusebox and 192229 for the lid. We still have some of the short stubby 25A fuses (11434) remaining in stock and we may look into re-manufacturing another batch at some point soon. If interested please contact us.

  • 2005 Repair kit 273076-1 (seals only) re-manufactured for brake master cylinders 676257 and 672825. Main kit with piston is already stocked. NOW NLA, sorry.

  • 2005 Wiring harnesses for LHD 1969 1800S (USA) & LHD 1973 1800ES re-manufactured exactly as per original.

  • 2005 Wiring harness for 1968 1800S (USA) (673312K) now available. This is unique to the US version of the P1800 as built from the start of the 1968 model. Late 1967 up to the end of 1967 is now also available. The part no is 673126K. The difference concerns the inclusion of the hazard light warning system (with switch added on the dashboard) for 1968. These harnesses were fitted with the first dual-circuit brake system, with brake failure warning activator switch (in the engine bay) and inboard brake light switch.

  • 2004 Wiring harnesses for all Amazon B18 & B20 models re-manufactured according to the original drawings. We have so far managed to re-manufacture almost all of the individual harness sections listed in Volvo's Spare Parts Catalogues (but NOT those from 1968 USA models - anybody got a decent 2nd-hand sample to use as a blueprint??)and now offer complete harnesses for the various model years. See our web shop under Volvo Amazon - Electrical equipment - Wiring harnesses - LHD cars or RHD cars (depending on whether left-hand drive or right-hand drive) - and then part numbers beginning with 3001 (LHD) or 3016 (RHD). The range includes a very well re-manufactured harness for both LHD and RHD 123GT models with B18B engines (1967-1968). If anyone has a B20 model 123GT we would very much like to have the opportunity of re-manufacturing a completely new wiring harness for that model! Let's hear from you.

  • 2004 Fitting clips for P1800 front and rear wing mouldings re-manufactured to original UNC specification - 668068, 654585, 672259. Front wing mouldings for P1800 1961-1966 now also stocked (664622 and 664623).

  • 2004 Cylinder head bolts (191523) for Volvo B18 and B20 engines manufatured for CVI by the genuine supplier to Volvo.

  • 2004 Engine inlet & exhaust valves for B16, B18 & B20 engines made to OE specification (403486, 403881, 419368, 419292, 419639, 419640, 419735, 419766). Valve guides also made (415266, 419652, 419653), as well as a special heavy-duty B20 (37 mm) exhaust valve (CVI-5406 HD).

  • 2004 Brake hoses for PV544/P210 B18 front (667379) and PV/Amazon B16/B18 rear (plus PV 444 and 544 B16 front) (87695) re-manufactured according to exact old-style genuine specification that not even Volvo offer these days. These hoses include a special washer used for location purposes particularly on the 444/544 and 445/210 front axle eyelets where hose meets pipe.

  • 2004 Dashboard trim brightwork for PV544/P210 and Amazon made to original specification with aid of blueprints and samples. Trim for PV544/P210 comprises Volvo part numbers 658091, 658092, 658093 and 658094 but sold as a complete kit only under part number 658090. The Amazon single piece trim has part number 654299. Unfortunately the wire clips 663973 that mount these to the dash have not been sourced due to excessively high tooling charges.

  • 2004 Front suspension top ball-joints (653131/273004) re-made for Amazon and P1800, fitted to cars manufactured up to July 1965. These have been made according to the original drawings and come complete with lubricator nipple as well as fitting kit. Unfortunately these are now in short supply as the manufacturer has told us that he is not willing to make a second batch.

  • 2004 Grease caps (87465) for front wheel bearings on Amazon, PV, Duett and P1800 re-made to original specification. We have very good prices on front and rear wheel bearing kits as well! Even on later model Volvos.

  • 2004 Front anti-roll bar bush clamp (672217) re-made for Amazon and P1800. Anti-roll bar bush 657839 already exists with the requisite slit along the side to enable easy assembly.

  • 2004 Door glass scraper seal for late 140/240/262 made as replacements for the existing seal, though withoutthe normal accompanying metal strip (which makes these items so expensive from Volvo). Ours are designed to re-use the existing metal strips.

  • 2004 Spare wheel well for PV444/544 re-manufactured exactly as original. Part number is 96620.

  • 2004 Clutch slave cylinder repair kits for Amazon and P1800 re--made as a cheap kit to cover both 3/4" and 13/16" bore cylinders. These have part number 276451-169K. Very often cars have been fitted with a second-hand slave cylinder but the owner doesn't know the size of the internal bore. With this part you don't need to worry.

  • 2004 P1800 taillamp cellular sponge seals (664505 and 664498) re-made. These ones actually fit!

  • 2004 Wiper spindle seals for 544/210 re-made according to original blueprints (658174 & 658175). These arrived in December, along with new bushes for the 544/210 clutch cross-shaft (662224).

  • 2004 Fuel tanks now stocked for Amazon P120/P130 and all 1800 models. Part number 260020 for Amazon, whilst 683393 covers all tanks in the 1800 range. Tank sender units are already stocked.

  • 2004 Door glass scraper seals for Volvo 240 made for CVI. If you purchase these from Volvo you must buy the whole "kit" which includes the metals strip (in black or silver) to which the scraper seal is attached. Ours come as loose items. We offer the 244 front door window seal under part number 1255991L and the rear door seal under part number 1255967L.

  • 2003 121 front wing badge (670678)remanufactured in aluminium. Now sadly NLA.

  • 2003 PV bootlid lock (93483) re-manufactured. For this we had to manufacture the small rod that comes out of the back of the lock cylinder and change over the current door lock rods for these smaller rods. We can now also offer a variety of lock sets for both PV and Duett models. Most common are 94707 for 544 without lock in passenger door, 93902 for 544 with lock in passenger door (ie USA models) and 93897-2 for 210.

  • 2003 Brake master cylinder (tandem type - 672825) for USA spec.1968 model 122S and 1800S re-sourced. We also stock repair kits for the original cylinders (273076 with piston, 273076-1 without piston). Both 273076 and 273076-1 now NLA, sorry.

  • 2003 Brake pressure reduction valve repair kit made for dual-circuit systems (273090). These do NOT include a new piston but DO include a special shaped tool to facilitate fitment of the main piston seal. We are currently looking at the possibility of producing a kit for the early type (single circuit) reduction valve with kit # 273104 - this would have to include a complete piston assembly.

  • 2003 Chromed wheel nuts for 1800E, ES, 164 and 140 GL (688984) made as original. These had not been available from Volvo for some 15 years or more, being replaced at Volvo by the "incorrect" version from a later model. Unfortunately the manufacturer proved unwilling to make another batch of these when the first batch was exhausted. However, they are now available again in stainless steel.

  • 2002 Fuel tank sender unit (682149) for 1800E and 1800ES remanufactured for CVI according to the original drawings and specifications. Tank sender unit for 1800S '61-'69 (673496) is already in our programme.

  • 2002 122S front wing (fender) badge (670677) remanufactured for CVI exclusively. Made of aluminium (as the original) and now also sold to Volvo. These badges were fitted to Amazon 122S between 1965-1970. 123 GT wing badges have also been made by CVI in aluminium.

  • 2002 Wheel cylinder for Amazon station wagon P220 USA spec. 1968 manufactured (673391). Tandem type brake master cylinder for the 1968 USA model 122 coupé (P130), 122 wagon (P220) and 1800S (672825) is also now stocked as a re-manufactured item (see below).

  • 2002 Taillamp lenses for PV 544 (European-style with built-in reflector, 658399) re-sourced from old original tooling. Beware inferior quality repro. items now also available on the market. The repro. items do not have a sufficiently long tube where the attaching screws go through, resulting in easy cracking of the plastic on the outer surface should the screws be overtightened. NB. We are currently looking at also being able to supply these lenses with the chrome rim, as Volvo used to supply them. The European lenses can also be used for USA cars.

  • 2001 Taillamp lenses remanufactured for Volvo 1800 ES (686965 and 686966). Also now sold to the Volvo network.

  • 2001 Engine conrod and main end bearing shells for B4B, B14A and B16 engines manufactured exclusively for CVI in sizes ranging from standard to fourth undersize (- 0.040"). Volvo part numbers are 276658 to 276661 for conrod shells, and 276686 to 276689 for main end bearing shells (depending on size required).

  • 2001 P1800 headlamp bowl reinforcing ring (664285) re-produced, almost exactly as original. A far better product than standard pattern rings! P1800 genuine steel headlamp bowls (1207412) along with inner bowl (668675) and fitting components and chrome bezels (inner and outer) also available (668079-1 and 665040 (steel), 665040-CR (copper)), as is the rubber seal between headlamp bowl and body (665041).

  • 2001 P1800 front suspension lower control arm rubber cushion (662203) re-manufactured. Many people have used the standard PV and Amazon cushion (83108) as a replacement, but when you compare the two you'll see that there's a big difference in height between them.

  • 2001 Wheel cylinder pushrod (659676) used with Wagner wheel cylinders 659673, 659683, 667166 and 673391 for 544/210, 120/220 and 1968 1800S (USA) re-manufactured. The open end that meets the brake shoe sometimes has a tendency to crack on worn pushrods, so inspect yours closely next time you carry out any brake work!

  • 2000 Taillamp lenses for P1800 in red/amber (668399 or now 1212714) remanufactured to a very high standard. These we now also sell to the Volvo network. Chromed screws for these are also re-sourced (192020), along with the small rubber seal that should be used with each screw (658833).

  • 2000 Rear axle suspension bush (675771, the big round one) as fitted to Amazon and 1800S with the later type rear suspension setup produced to CVI's order by the original manufacturer.

  • 1999 Fuel pump repair kits re-manufactured for CVI to rebuild glass-bowl pumps as fitted to Volvo engines built between 1947 and 1964 (403269 and 234008). This kit has part number 276223. Repair kits 276281 (for AC pump 419291) & 276520 (for Pierburg pump 418878) also manufactured to CVI order. These latter pumps were fitted side-by-side to Volvo engines from 1965 up until approximately 1970.

  • 1999 SU carburettors and parts now stocked for all applications ranging from SU H4 (B16B) to SU HS6 (B18B/D and B20B/D). Also, top quality factory overhauled SU carbs available on an exchange basis for 2-bolt air filter types as fitted 1961-1966. Air filters also available for all carb types.

  • 1998 Panhard rod bush (666416) and rear suspension bush (660112) for P220 Amazon station wagon remanufactured, along with PV and Duett engine mounting kit (273059) and transmission/gearbox mount (89731). We also supply an engine mounting made with harder rubber, for the racing and rally fraternity.
  • 1997 Brake shoe hold-down pins (659663) and clips (659664) sourced for Wagner type brakes from the original manufacturers. These are far easier to fit than the type Volvo and some other Volvo specialists currently supply. They fit all PV544 and P210 Duett, Amazon 121 (to 1964), and Amazon 122S/1800S (rear) for 1968 USA models. They also form the main constituent items in Volvo's fitting kit 273172, also supplied by CVI. Recently we have added another, fuller, kit which we call 273173. This kit also includes the brake shoe return springs as well as the rubber plugs for the starwheel adjuster holes in the backplates.

  • We also stock brake shoe hold-down kits for Amazon B18 and B20 - 273171 for genuine Girling kit, but for kits that also include brake shoe return springs use 273171-1 for B18 Amazon & P1800, and 273171-2 for B20 model Amazon and 1969 model 1800S. Beware confusing use of the part number 273171 by some of our competitors: they use this part number for a pattern kit for Wagner brake shoes but where the pin is so long that it is impossible to fit under the handbrake lever on the rear shoe on the rear brakes!

  • 1997 A new batch of Zenith 36VN carburettors, fitted as original equipment to Volvo's B18A engines 1961-1966 (237128), ordered from a company that used to be a major supplier to the Zenith Carburettor Company Ltd, of Honeypot Lane, Stamford, Middlesex. It took one whole year (!) before we were able to take final delivery in November 1998. Unfortunately these are all now sold out.

  • 1997 First batch of door rubber seals for P1800 (672152 and 672153) delivered to CVI. These were (and still are) made for us using the original Volvo tooling. Boot (trunk) lid seals for Amazon P120/P130 (671687) as well as for PV444 (from 1954 on) and PV544 (95966) also manufactured. These seals are made of quite thick sponge rubber and have a greyish finish, just like they always used to have. We have now sold hundreds of these seals, both to end consumers and to trade customers alike.

  • 1996 Radiator and heater hoses commissioned to be made for CVI. These include rad hoses for PV 544, P210 Duett, Amazon 121, 122s, 123GT, 140, P1800, and 240, as well as heater hoses for PV/Duett, Amazon, 140 and P1800. Hose clamps also bought in.

  • 1996 First batch of door pillar switches for P1800 received (664512). These are used for turning the interior courtesy lights on and off when opening or closing the door. They are not an exact replica of the original but they look fine and do the job they are meant to do.

  • 1995 First steps taken to initiate re-manufacture of electrical wiringharnesses as fitted to P1800 between 1961 and 1969 (with original style patterned cloth outer sheath), as well as those fitted to PV, P210 and 120s. Fuel injection harnesses for 1800E (683691) and 1800ES (1210099) complete with genuine rubber connector covers (943693, 943695, 945783) followed a little later.

  • 1995 Taillamp lenses for P1800 in all-red format (664496) and front indicator lenses in all-white (664590) reproduced. The taillamp lenses were fitted to cars exported to the USA between 1961 and 1969, but are now even used as replacements for 1800E 1970 to 1972. They were also fitted to cars sold in other markets up to early 1964. Chromed screws for these are also re-sourced (192020), along with the small rubber seal that should be used with each screw (658833).

  • 1994 Rubber parts manufactured for CVI: front and rear windscreen seals, for Amazon (673318 and 671764) and PV 544 (673228 and 659811), as well as moulded items such as pedal rubbers 666176, 653238 (for Amazon & P1800), 83079 (for PV/Duett), throttle pedal rubber 660533 (PV, Amazon, Duett), and Amazon station wagon P220 rear bumper overrider pad (666262).

  • 1994 Initial steps taken with Wagner Brake in the USA in order to re-tool for manufacture of the brake master cylinder (663468) for B18-engined PV 544 and P210 with remote brake fluid reservoirs (which are now also factory-sourced (663418)). The first batch of 275 master cylinders arrived in May 1995. To date we have sold approx. 1700 pcs.  Repair kits (276492) as a genuine Wagner-Lockheed item are now no longer available: however, we have been able to source an excellent equivalent which is exactly the same as the original (even the shape of the outer dust cover): see photo in our webshop for further details. The repair kit also fits the PV B4B and B16 brake master cylinder 87694.

  • 1994 Rear axle Pinion oil seals (88391), as fitted on the old ENV axles built in Willesden, London and fitted to early PVs and Amazons up until 1966 (alongside Dana Spicer axles), finally sourced from Volvo's original supplier after a long search. CVI bought the remaining batch. However, these old originals are now sold out, but we have had them re-manufactured exactly as original (though with a rubber rather than a leather sealing surface) from a different supplier, also at a lower price than previously. We now also supply these early pinion seals to the Volvo dealership network worldwide (via GCP). We have also sourced all of the various types of pinion oil seals fitted to Spicer axles (80507, 942905 and 9143317).

  • 1993 Wiper arms in original-style stainless steel manufactured for 120, PV and P1800 ('61-'71). We had previously bought up the remaining stock of P1800 wiper blades made by Trico (665638), but did not have any wiper arms to fit them to. Trico wiper blades are now unfortunately sold out. Re-tooling in order to get an exact replica of the original would cost the better part of $14000 US. We therefore offer a 12" blade as opposed to a 13,5" original.
  • 1992 Door lock barrels for Volvo P1800 (664733, in singles, or 664733-PAR, as paired door locks with same key) re-introduced, along with complete lock sets for P1800 (664736) and Amazon sedan (663804). The locks included in the sets can also be purchased individually. There is the bootlid (trunk lid) lock available for the P1800 S/E (664734 or now known as 9122128 at Volvo, to whom we also offer it) and also a lock, either on its own, or together with the complete housing assembly, for the fuel filler on the P1800. The fuel filler lock barrel on its own is called 664735, whilst the complete assembly is called 664738. We also supply a complete lock set for the Volvo P220 Amazon station wagon (669367) though just recently there seems to be a problem with supply from the factory. For PV and Duett locks see later.

  • 1992 Initial steps taken to source heater control valves for PV, P210 Duett and Amazon (673452) from the original manufacturer, after it had become apparent that Volvo had decided to discontinue this item. We now supply heater valves for all of Volvo cars from 1957 to 1972, including 673451 for 1800 series, 673452 for PV 544, P210 Duett and Amazon, and both 680304 as well as 679480 for 140 series 1967 to 1972. We are now also able to supply the heater control valve for those 240 models that were fitted with air conditioning (A/C).
