front struts 200 1986

While I don't have the parts you are looking for, I can tell you where you can find some non-volvo generic replacements for the parts you are looking for.
Summit Racing (www.summitracing.com) sells strut boots ( the brand name I got was Skyjacker) (http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=edepartment.asp&N=120+4294925130&x=11&y=6) for $2.50 each (choice of colors).

The bumpstops are also available from Summit. They are Energy Suspension brand,
(http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=esearch.asp&N=110&Ntk=KeywordSearch&Ntt=bump+stops),
and they are somewhere around $10-$15 for a pair. Measure your old bumpstops and match them to the Energy Suspension parts by dimensions.

I used these parts when I rebuilt the suspension in my 1977 Datsun 280z (strut suspension all the way around!) and have had no problems at all with these parts. And I saved a LOT of money over buying OEM parts. The Nissan strut boots were nearly $20 each, and the bumpstops were $12 each! (x4!!!) :-O

Comparing the front suspensions of my 242 and my 280Z, it would appear that the boots and bumpstops mentioned above should fit without problems. Hope this helps...
