I ordered a tailshaft ("extension housing") bushing for the '74 164E. Yesterday, when trying to replace it, I noticed the new bushing is 1 5/8" OD. The OD of the original bushing is definitely smaller - I believe it is 1 1/2". Every source I find online (including Volvo-specific sites such as CVR, VP-Auto, etc) list the 1 5/8" bushing as a fit for the BW35, BW55, AW70/71, and so on. The description on some does mention "US Spec". So it looks like I have a non-US spec tailshaft housing. Any ideas where to find the right one?
