Where do we get these parts? 700

Where do we get these two items that were mentioned in the FAQ? Are they special order/dealer only? I do not have a local dealer close by so when I go to Seattle this weekend I will have to order them up. This method seems easier than the peice it together method though more expensive...

From the FAQ:
"Special Volvo Fittings to Make Connection. [Tip from Neal] Here are the Volvo part numbers for two hard to get parts needed to build a fuel pressure gauge assembly:

9995267-7 Nipple $27.45
9995116-2 Hose $ 9.30

The nipple is the fitting that connects between the rubber fuel line and the fuel rail. The hose includes the banjo fitting that attaches inline with the nipple. The other end of the hose is an unusual fitting that I imagine could connect only to a Volvo fuel pressure gauge. I cut that fitting off, and installed a 1/8" male pipe thread with barbed fitting pressed onto the hose. The 1/8" male pipe screws into almost any fuel pressure gauge found at any auto store. Make sure you get a gauge that goes to at least 100psi."

    The way in the FAQ kinda seems to be the hard way.... There are plenty of other ways to manage to get a fuel pressure testing port on to the fuel rail or high pressure fuel line leading to the rail.... I chose the line connection on the firewall of my 740, just to the right (as if you were sitting in the car) of the brake booster... there are others which have installed them on the fuel rail themselves..

    my port came from a 87-94 GM 2.8/3.1 V6 at the junkyard... just had to tap a 5/16-18 hole for it to thread into

    Take a hacksaw with you into a junkyard, and have them point you to a car with a bad engine. Cut the last 3 inches or so off the fuel rail, just at the top rear of the intake manifold, and also cut off the last 6 inches or so of the rubber fuel hose that mates to it.
    That way you get both sides, and you can build the fuel pressure gauge with the T connected to these 2 pieces. A shop that sells welding supplies will definitely have the hose barb adapters and the gauges you want- a local hardware or autoparts store may do just as well.

      And I would build it with a long piece of tubing or hose to the gauge, so it could be viewed while driving. Much more useful for diagnostics that way. You can sneak the gauge out through the weatherstripping at the back of the hood and observe pressure while you drive. I don't recommend doing ANY of this unless you understand what you are doing- you're dealing with high pressure gasoline and there is always a significant risk of fire! Please use extreme caution!

        Thanks Rob. I am trying to find a wrecking yard close (within 100 miles) to me that has a Volvo 700, which is a challenge. No Volvo Dealers in the SouthCentral WA area. Thus there are not many Bricks around these parts... Guess I gotta go west to Seattle. I am pretty good with tools. I have never owned a Volvo before so there is always a learning curve. Heck, if I knew as much about Mercedes or Porche as I do about old Datsuns, I would have a much larger monthly income... :^D. Here are some of my past projects:

        I used the "long hose to the gage" trick on the SE-R and the truck when I was diagnosing performance issues on them. It was very handy for "real world" diagnostics, instead of idling and revving in the driveway.

        Erik

          You're not restricted to 700 series for these parts. Same on 240 from '85 up--and maybe more commonly available.
