I just saw these anti-sway bars in eBay. Has anyone purchased them? Any opinion? Cheaper than IPD if bought together. Don't know if mounting hardware is included. Front bar for $129.95 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/162-sway-bar-66-74-Volvo-120-Series_W0QQitemZ370105381593QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370105381593&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 Rear bar for $102.95 http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/924-sway-bar-66-74-Volvo-120-Series_W0QQitemZ370105402325QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item370105402325&_trkparms=72%3A727%7C39%3A1%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p4506.c0.m245 http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1312295&rss=1 Tue, 4 Nov 2008 18:03 GMT I've read through as many threads regarding the horn washer. I believe my horn problem is due to a worn out button washer or insulator. My problem is when I removed the horn button, I didn't see any washer. Where is this washer located? Does anyone have a picture of the washer/insulator and where it is located? Thanks. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1295251&rss=1 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:08 GMT Hi, I got the same fuel sender but have not yet installed. Care to share your experiences? Dimensions? Any information to guide me. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1273049&rss=1 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:31 GMT Hmmm, I wish I was getting 30 mpg. I've been getting 22 mpg with mostly freeway driving. What can I do to improve that? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1267987&rss=1 Fri, 28 Mar 2008 20:20 GMT A big thank you to Ron for the schematics and to everybody who responded. The next upgrades on my Volvo will be Hella 3rd brake light, Ron's lights on reminder and high-gloss metallic chrome paint on tailight bulb holder-reflectors. Again, thanks to all. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1267312&rss=1 Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:13 GMT Hi Ron, I like the second option. Is it possible to obtain a schematic diagram? I tried to decipher the connections from your description but I'm more of the visual type. BTW, I have received the starter switch, brake-light switch upgrade and emergency flasher switch and installed them with no problems. The brake-light switch upgrade has made me feel more comfortable driving in stop-and-go traffic. The other upgrade I have in mind is a 3rd brake light. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1266971&rss=1 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 01:52 GMT I have a 1966 Volvo 122s and I'd want to install a headlight buzzer to avoid the inconvenience of draining the battery. Any suggestions? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1266780&rss=1 Sun, 23 Mar 2008 01:41 GMT Just wondering if the 3rd brake light of a 850 sedan will mount properly against the windshield of a 122s? Are the angles or slopes of the 850 or 122s rear windshield similar? I'm looking at options to install a 3rd brake light in my 122s. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1261461&rss=1 Wed, 27 Feb 2008 18:03 GMT There is a big space behind the rear panels or rear wheel wells in a 122s 2-door sedan. Has anyone considered putting some type of insulation in there? Like insulation used for houses? I was thinking of doing something similar to what was done with the VW bus: http://www.shagadelic.org/VW/info/gmbulley-soundproof/intrir2.html Or should those big spaces be left alone? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1256368&rss=1 Tue, 5 Feb 2008 06:09 GMT The heater valve or thermostat in my 1966 Volvo 122s is leaking. At the moment, I don't want to repair it. Therefore, I'd like to bypass the heater valve and core. I think I know what to do but I need some assurances. Can I just connect the tubings from the water pump and the engine block together using a hose barb connector? Is this be safe? http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1253181&rss=1 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 04:27 GMT I got a heater duct for my 122s. The duct that distributes air to the rear of the car. Does it go on top of the carpet or does the carpet cover it? Thanks. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1249638&rss=1 Fri, 11 Jan 2008 02:26 GMT Just want to confirm what I have read from previous posts. Rear seat belts from a Volvo 240 will work in a Volvo 122s 2-door. True or false. Thanks. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1247891&rss=1 Sat, 5 Jan 2008 05:44 GMT How does one remove the hood release handle? I need to remove the kick panel by the driver side. Thanks. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1247462&rss=1 Thu, 3 Jan 2008 19:08 GMT I've disassembled the seats of my 1966 Volvo 122s to paint the rusted frames. Question: How does one remove the knob that reclines the back of the seat? I want to paint the part of the seat this knob is attached to. I don't know if the know is screwed onto the reclining mechanism. Please advice. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1245907&rss=1 Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:50 GMT Thanks for the replies, both useful and funny. I like the suggestion from 1966-estate. I will not use water. When I bought the car, for some reason there's alot of rice in these hidden areas. Don't ask me how it got there for I don't want to ask the previous owner. Instead of a mouse, I found a skull of a chicken by the rear well. Seriously. Happy Holidays. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1242096&rss=1 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:35 GMT I plan to. Any suggestions? Although I've been advised to have the installation done professionally. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1242094&rss=1 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 18:29 GMT The 122s 2-door sedan I recently bought had no headliner and windlace. I'm in the process of installing them. I bought windlace from Swedish Treasures. Question: Do the rear windows require windlace? Can someone send me pictures of how the windlace looks like inside the car? Thanks. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1242059&rss=1 Fri, 14 Dec 2007 16:46 GMT I'm in the process of cleaning up the interior of a 1966 Volvo 122s 2-door sedan. I recently purchase this car and during the process of cleaning up the interior, I found a lot of things that needed cleaning. Anyways, I was thinking of using pressurized water to clean the insides of the doors and rocker panel or sills. I know that the doors have holes to allow water to drain. Do the rocker panels have drain holes? I don't want to introduce water into the rocker panels to promote rust. In the end, I plan to use Eastwood's Heavy Anti-Rust in these hidden compartments to hopefully prevent future rust formation. http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/?id=1241528&rss=1 Wed, 12 Dec 2007 22:21 GMT I'm in the process of cleaning up the interior of a 1966 Volvo 122s 2-door sedan.
