After a litter information on this diff cover does the later 7 series or 9 series come with this watts link on the diff housing as in the photo or is this just an alloy cover possibly of a 240 that has been modified to add a watts link, thanks

Nothing factory came with a watts link
Lots of custom covers made as its just a dana 30/31
Thanks that what I was thinking, but just wanted to make sure knew the early Volvos had nothing but was not sure on the later 7&9 series
Is there anyone you know that has done this modification here, the hardest bit would be a second mounting point on the chassis as well adding some strengthening to the cover
Because Jeep used the Dana 30 as a front axle in quite a few SUV's there are loads of heavy duty covers available designed to be bashed into rocks that are a good starting point for a watts link setupJustian;97468 wroteIs there anyone you know that has done this modification here, the hardest bit would be a second mounting point on the chassis as well adding some strengthening to the cover
The second mounting point to the chassis is easy

Yes, never thought of that, when I work out what I am doing will look into that, am just gathering some ideas at the moment for a 164 project but have to clear out the shed to get it in so could be a while before I start.
This is the 164 I got as a project

@Vspeed just asked on FB if anyone was keen

Do you really need a Watts link? There's lots of improvements you can make before the panhard rod becomes a limiting factor.
If i was going to do one, the reverse Watts Link (where the rocker is mounted to the body) is generally a better outcome, for very marginally more work.

From the single pic supplied, this is such a lovely model its worthy of love and restoration.
Yes thanks (@Anthony) is a nice car has a little rust from a possum is a long story so when I do my build thread will go a bit more into it, the interior is in great condition, and is definitely worth saving

Woah that's a lot of steel.
Doesn't have to be that ugly!
