I am new here, so first of all I would like to say hello to all fellow Volvo lovers. I purchased a 62 544 back in 96 when I was 16, My dad and I then restored it and modified it. I parked it in 99 because parts where so hard to find and need a car for college. I am now going to restore it again. So I am looking for some parts and have found some, but wow they are expensive. I am tring to find a master cylinder, wheel cylinders, steel wheels, for now. My dad and I used to buy some parts from IPD, but wow they are high priced. I have a B-20 motor and a m-41 j type overdrive in it. I am curious what the hose is conected to the overdrive is. Also if I have to spend a 150 bucks to get the brake drum puller to get the drums off. I can not believe ipd wants 251.82 for the master cylinder. As for the wheel cylinders I know that the ones that fit the 544 fit other cars I just do not remeber which ones. The steel wheels is the bolt pattern 5x4.5, and will old ford wheels work and how wide can I go with the front and back and tire sizes. Also where do I get lowering springs and shocks? I also have a sway bar for the front that my dad bought for me but we never got around to putting it on. I just do not have the hardware to put it on now can I use the stock hardware?

P.S. Sorry for so many questions I just have alot that I can not find the answers to.

Thanks in advance
Doug
