Vacuum line elbow replacement -- where to buy? 850 1997

Volvo will happily sell you individual vacuum elbows. You, as an individual, may not be happy paying their price. (Which is true about many -- perhaps most -- Volvo parts and their prices. However, Volvo keeps parts in stock much MUCH longer than lesser automobile manufacturers, so we addicts can indulge our obsessions. It is an exploitive relationship, but I'm not sure if the manufacturer is exploiting our enthusiasm for the cars, or the owners exploiting the manufacturer's willingness to keep providing parts for our aging cars so we can keep them on the road and therefore avoid buying new cars to replace them, thus denying the manufacturers new car sales thus requiring the manufacturers to eke out an existence selling high-priced replacement parts. And that just may be the most convoluted sentence ever posted to Brickboard.)
