There are a couple of links on my page to places that sell Momo products and list the hub adapter for the 240. Also try CFI Motorsports.
I added a Volvo leather cover to my stock steering wheel, and then I added a GT horn pad. It looks and feels better, and it only cost me about $30 total. The leather cover, which you could also buy from IPD, fits very tightly and it's sewn on, so it does not slide around at all. It's very high quality thick leather, which adds to the thickness of the steering wheel to give it a great feel.
I have the dark blue interior in my car, so I decided to change some of the trim to black. I have black door pockets, window cranks, center console, door latch trim, and speaker covers. I also added a black fabric dash cover to hide the massive cracks, and a pair of black leather headrest covers for the front seats. I have a DL, so it came with a rubber shift boot around the manual shift lever. I added a black leather boot from an older Volvo GLT/Turbo. It looks really sharp after I cleaned it up with black shoe polish and shined the brass snap at the top. The final touch was the Momo shift knob that I managed to squeeze onto the stock shift lever. It's the Race Air Leather model, which is a round knob with perforated black leather around the sides and bottom and a small Momo logo with an aluminum ring around it on the top.
I have a set of custom white gauge faces from Dave Barton that I'll install when I get a chance. The only two gauges I have installed now are a Volvo digital ambient temp gauge and a 52mm tach. When I get my large tach working again I'll eliminate the small tach in favor of an oil temp or pressure gauge. Whichever oil gauge doesn't go in the dash will go in a pod mounted on the dash to the left of the main cluster. I've got a small IPD sticker on the black trim just below the center vents (it's the "domed" plastic one). I removed the seat bracket from a spare drivers seat and installed it on the passengers seat in my car, so now both front seats are manually height adjustable. I also added a driver's side grab handle (above the door, where the covered holes are), but I rarely use it.
I think that's about all I've done to the interior. I'm planning to swap in power windows with black door panels and black armrests for the front only. I may also remove the rear seat and install black carpet from a wagon, which will cover more of the floor that's normally hidden beneath the rear seat. I'd also like to add some bolt on textured metal pedals (nothing fancy) because I've already worn out the IPD pedal pads I bought 2 years ago (I highly recommend these if you have worn pedal pads!).
Let me know if you have any questions about anything. I've got a few pictures of some individual items, but no pics of the current interior of my car.
