i am looking for a decent pair of bumpstops and dust covers for the front struts on my 240 series. if anyone out there has a set i may be interested. maybe we can make it mutually beneficial. i have a storehouse of parts that has to go. i have ipd sway bars, nuts, bolts, some gt parts, interior compenents. just tons of stuff, lets talk, and see what happens.

I have the bumpstops/dust covers that I removed from my car when I added the Bilstein HD's but I was keeping them in case I decide to revert the car to it's original state.

FCPOnline has bellows (dust covers) and bump stops. Pricing is bizzarre though. They list bellows for $11.03, bump stops for $37.58 and a combination bellows/bump stop for $13.53. Makes me wonder about quality on the last item but it's made by KYB so I would expect it to be pretty durable.

What GT parts do you have?

to '80 dl 2dr. i have the foglights for the gt, plus a pair of brand new in the bag brackets. the grill and headlight bezels, in decent shape for being 25 years old. the foglight switch. a rear trunk lid with the stripes, that i was using as templet for my 1979 gt. pictures of the original stripes, from a person i met who bought there car on ebay. i have several sets of gt rims, they need to be refinished they are not terrible though. if you have ambition i have the ipd large diameter sway bars. you can also convert your windows to power. i have the lifts the motors the switches, and possibly the harnesses. these have been with me for a while, so i have to get the time to gather everything up. if anything else comes up i can get in touch with you. hope this is helpful.

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...
