I hate to even bring this up after the Bentley Shortage, but............ 200

So last year right about this time I posted asking where to buy a Bentley only to find everyone was out of stock. The shortage passed right after the start of this year with the new printing.

Well now I seem to have found another part out of stock with Volvo. It seems that the grid that is held in place under the seat bottom is on as Tasca Volvo said "on backorder to infinity it seems". That is not exactly the delivery date I wanted to run with. If you know where to get one or two for that matter would you let me know please. Are there any Euro parts houses that maybe have a couple? Any and all pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Just in case infinity is the delivery date, what sort of bright ideas you got out there? I was going to try the grid out of a 740 seat bottom, but the Pick Ur Part wanted $85 for the silly thing. I made an impassioned plea for that being excessive and also asked why? They were going to charge me for an entire seat regardless if I took it or not. I said, thanks but not a chance in heck I was paying $80 for that and left it by the window. So looking for either a BB inspired repair, or what the heck where can I find a new part if possible.

Now on a NonVolvo related note, Tasca Volvo is also a Ford/Mercury part dealer and by dang them be some freakishly good prices on them thar blue oval parts. I ordered the parts to fix the EGR on the Taurus I am about to pass on the Son In Law. And for less than 1/2 of what my local Stealership wanted for them, and no tax on top of the savings. I could have sprung for next day shipping on each item ordered and still saved good money, but I am cheap so "What can Brown do for me". Good to be on the BB, went looking for a seat bottom and struck out, but saved well over $100 in the process.

Thanks in advance for any help with that seat grid you can offer and regards,

Paul
