Yes the double site fandango is bloody confusing! I first came across "Dai" on https://www.volvoforums.org.uk/ , he first posted in 2004 and seemed to build a business base that drew in a lot UK brick fans from the forum not that any of you guys are unaware of this I'm sure. I actually prefer his old site's interface (clunky though it may be), it would be great if he could put up *moderately* high res shots of parts too, some of them are like reading Braille!
Any $$$ left to add to the order?
Classicswede now uses the . Org site he hasn't shut down his other site for some reason.
Ive bought alot off Classicswede over the years it's always best to Msg Dai directly and check what he has Ready to Go otherwise your order may not bee seen For Months.
The best way to get hold of Dai is fb messenger you May never get a response via Email.
The new website shipping calculator is accurate…… well accurate as in that's what he will charge you but generally your package will arrive with a postage lable Priced half of what you Paid so he makes a bunch on shipping too haha.
Ive never had an issue with Classicswede in fact the opposite it's always been super quick and Pleasant but I also randomly chat to dai so think he Likes me but just bare in mind he's a 1 man show, he's busy and terrible at communicating with customers anyone who is on fastbricks UK would see the endless Posts asking where their parts are.
Worst case you msg his wife and she Kicks him in the ass.
The point is never order without msging and confirming everything is ready to Go or a timelime for any parts that aren't ready he may have everything but 1 thing and that will just push the order into the Classicswede void that may not be seen again for God Knows.
Okay I've caught up with him and he's asked me to give him a list of items that are missing from the new site so he can fix it 
will keep you posted.
@1971_144GL can I ask, do you really just want 3 flywheel bolts? It seems odd to me to order less than a full set, let me know
@KBee not much, but I won't know until I can get the current cart total
If you scroll to the first post here, I've added a full shopping cart, please check I haven't missed anything. Will update again once I have the parts all in the cart.
Hello, They only listed three in stock. I was going to take one to my local engineering bolt provider to see if they could get the correc type. Surprisingly I don't seem to have an example handy, and I will want a few for upcoming projects. I think they may be grade 12? If he has 16 that would be great.
He also said he is out of lifters unfortunatly on his site. I might see if I can do onel ast CVI direct order before we have to start paying the Australain agent mark up.
I'm still hunting for my stash of stainless steel brake shims - that place called "somewhere" must be pretty full now.
Thanks for putting in the hard yards on this James, just wondered about the PU engine mounts for 240's the standard ones wear out fairly quickly I've found (but are cheaper obviously), are the PU ones long-lived? The last time I did mine they both let go at around the same time which made it a real pain to get both lined up and bolted on whilst working outside on a gravel drive…
I'm happy to get to be able to get the in-tank pump via ClassicSwede but wondering if the main fuel pump replacement (it's been working solo for more years than I care to remember) could be achieved with this: https://automotivesuperstore.com.au/bosch-0580464126
@Porkchop that pump would probably work, just plug the number into the googles and verify that it's a 5 bar pump and not insanely high LPH (for an NA 240 you only need something roughly in the 100-150 range).
It is possible to go too big with fuel pumps, it leads to the pump operating at its max rated pressure constantly, which means the pump circuit pulls high current and it just wears stuff out quick.
jamesinc As usual many thanks for the info, I keep reading about counterfeit Bosch pumps too which is a symptom of the times I guess. What about this: https://www.amazon.com.au/Bosch-0580464126-Electric-Supply-Pump/dp/B00BHK5VRE?ref_=ast_sto_dp It's around $150 with Amazon Prime… Actually this one is a really sharp price, I'll see if I can glean the specs: https://www.prestigeautoparts.com.au/\~31570
v1 strut tops are on the .org site
https://www.classicswede.org/shop/v1-240-adjustable-camber-plates
jamesinc It took me a while regarding fuel pump specs but here they are for https://www.prestigeautoparts.com.au/\~31570
Sorry text size didn't reduce when pasted, I've heard what a pain the in-tank pump can be to replace, is the external a doddle and what do I need to be aware of, thanks!
Hello, sorry this stalled, I was on hols, if everyone is still keen I'll put the order in this weekend, the online shop issues have been fixed.
Sounds good, I'm going to be away as of 7:00 AM Friday (tomorrow) if you can let me know what the rough total for me is I can drop it in your a/c tonight or tomorrow (I think it will come out around the $250 mark without taking into account the local freight to Tas which I can add on when it is determined…) cheers, and thanks
Okay another update.
@1971_144GL it doesn't seem like you can get the oil pump spring and ball kit
@Maximus it doesn't seem like you can get the 27mm swaybar bushings
I've also removed an item I no longer need. The order total currently stands at about $810 AUD so there is up to $150 of space left if anyone wants to add something. I prefer to leave ~$50 margin below the $1k cutoff as customs calculate the AUD total slightly differently from us. If you do want to add an item make sure to send me a link from classicswede.org rather than the old website. Otherwise I will pull the trigger tonight.
I've updated the shopping list at the top of this page.
Hi James, not sure if any of these will work in your final order configuration?
