Looking for diff cover for a Volvo 240

Anyone have a lead on a diff cover for a Volvo 240? The one on my son's car has rusted through and he needs a replacement. Unfortunately, none of the aftermarket ones have the fitting for the speedometer sensor. Replacement ones appear to be NLA -- even the dealer can't get them.

I'd try down in New Haven, VT there is a shop next to the country store, the guys father used to own a ton of 240's and restore them.

Yeah, that's Packard's. I've had mixed experiences with them during the builds of two Volvo Lemons cars, but I'm planning to stop by there in the morning anyway and see if I can poke around back in their yard.

I figured I'd also give the Swedish Pit a call.

Try giving Charlie a call at six star motors in colchester. Bert-one doesn't have a spare?

I found one this morning at Packards.

Bert One has used up his spares. And the only one that had the speedo sensor in it (which was used from 1989-1993) was rusted through just like the one I'm replacing.

About to say another place would have been Brandon Scrap... they have some very odd stuff there!

Glad you found on tho the 240's as long as they don't rust make very good DD cars or if its turbo the fun is endless :)
