for parts the 1st thing I do in mtl is call my favorite jobber. Sometimes he's got what I need for a good price and that's it ( ie rear slaves for a '66 120, $50.00 can., each, front control arm bushings all 4 for $45.00) sometimes his prices are nuts, 1 rear bushing $55.00, I bought the whole set of 8? online for $110 can., delivered). You could try volvoworld.com 'cause he's in quebec so no duty (i think). Also don't forget to call your local volvo dealership. The one near me gives me a 20% discount for having an old volvo, and sometimes even without the discount their prices are competetive. It seems in canada the dealer support is better for parts than in the u.s. YOu need to find a good parts guy at the dealer, sometimes the yobs are just useless, insist and they will find the part. Volvo has the whole thing computerized and I can look up my 66 and see the schematics and everything, some guys pretend it just ain't so, but they just don't know. Canadian tire is helpful occasionally. good luck, Patrick.
