I just put Turbo bars on my 81. The front one is 23mm. The local Volvo dealer had exactly what I needed to install new Volvo front sway bar bushings.
#1273184 bushing, need two.
#1330185 clamp, need two.
#1359391 brace, need two.
#1205991 end-link bushing, need four.
Total price for the ten pieces, not including the bars, was #46.66.
These are standard genuine Volvo rubber bushings with new-style clamps. It all went together nicely. No problems so far.
The car handles great in my opinion. While I was in there, I did all the control arm bushings (The rears were shot.), Sachs Advantage struts and shocks, strut bearings which were noisy, and front brake pads which were almost gone. All in all, the improvement in handling is quite noticeable. It's not too harsh.
