Grille Retaining Pin

Othen · Sep 27th, 2022, 18:57

I could use a couple of these grille retaining pins for my 1983 240 GLE (coffin nose):

They are Volvo part number 1202301, pattern parts are readily available in the USA at just a dollar or so, but I'm not keep on paying $40/item for shipping:

... the usual UK outlets don't seem to have them.

The motor has two of the pins, and they both still do their job, but they are a bit past their best.

Does anyone have a couple spare, or know where I could get some?

There are two Radiator fixing clips on eBay, they are like the ones on mine but maybe different from the “coffin noses “.

One of these days you will have to learn how to post links Andrew ;-)

Do you mean this type (I know, this is a US ad):

https://www.ebay.com/itm/324229726080

...unfortunately that is not the right type (I had those on the RB), the ones on the Barge are like the photo in the post above.

Would you send me the eBay number so I can track it down?

I have emailed your mate kommensiecake to see if he has any.

:-)

PS. I noticed one of the horns was not working today (as an idiot woman driver pulled out in front of me on a roundabout). I've bought a pair of horns from kommensiecake for a fiver plus a couple of quid postage.
