Unfortunately it appears to be out of stock; but, if you search the part number 243129 you may find that a local Volvo shop sells it - at an even more egregious price.
The two inlet port regulator should substitute for the early single inlet port regulator just fine if you cap off one of the inlet ports with a suitable rubber pressure cap. 243129 appears to be a later part number equipped with threads around the bottom discharge port. I expect that the threads were added so that it could be used in the early bracket or just kind of hung from the middle of the fuel rail as in the later cars.
If you don't feel the need to have an exact reproduction you should be able to use just about any adjustable fuel pressure regulator that will work with a base fuel pressure of 30 psi. You should be able source one from any supplier of tuner parts for Asian cars. These regulators will have a port to connect the intake manifold to provide a pressure reference signal. Just leave this port vented to atmosphere for use on the D jet system.
When I was looking around earlier, I did find a particularly nice adjustable atmospheric referenced fuel pressure regulator from Delphi. It almost looks exactly like the original Bosch FPR and has the correct 8 mm hose barbs so no messing around with fittings. Its Delphi FP 10545.

As a bonus, its even cross listed to the 1800E in the product reference literature. |
As helpful and informative as yours (and some other people's replies to other requests/questions) are, when someone in the UK is looking for a part on a UK owners club forum just how useful is it to reference outlets on the other side of the Atlantic? Those suppliers are easy and convenient for people on that continent but usually a last resort if you live in Europe.
