Major Ledfoot (note that I am recycling my old fan motor wanted thread) Looking for a pair of ordinary 700/940 radio boxes in usable condition (i.e. not a Swiss cheeze version) plus 2 generic double DIN radio boxes. Plan is to try and fit an SC-810 OE head unit into a 940. Although I might be really really lucky, and somebody Out There may have a surplus, unicorn-like, two-compartment, double DIN sized 780 radio box, spares of which are now extinct from Mother Volvo but perfect for the task. Near Launceston is perfect; in Tas would be great; in OZ would be nice.
Angus242164 I think this is useless for anything RHD, but I have it: https://zyrex.org/gallery/Cars/acw/volvoparts/Parts+011.jpg.html
Major Ledfoot Thanks @Angus242164 but that one looks very much like the 740 one I have NIB. The one I'm after looks like this.
dmc Mark at Voldat can get them, replaced mine a year or so back. Make sure when the fan motor is out the gunk in the heater box is cleaned out. There is a build up of leaves, dust and grit under the heater core that prevents fluid draining, which can then drain through the motor and kill it. I learned that the hard way. Also, there is a plastic cover that sits outside the motor body, without this it will be noisey, mine was missing and replacing it made a bit difference the sound inside the car.
Angus242164 I ran out of time for a proper look unfortunately, I still think there are a couple in some boxes of 700 interior parts but didn't have time to get them down and go through them. I'll be there again next weekend most likely, so if you don't find something before then I'll make sure I take a better look.
Major Ledfoot Bump again - @ramrod @goodenough do you have any to spare? Surprised that nobody seems to have any....
Angus242164 I'm back out there tomorrow evening so I'll make a strong effort to find some, sorry for the previous stuff around.
Major Ledfoot Thanks Angus, that would be appreciated. These are a lot harder to come by than I expected.
