    Re: Alfa 3.0l engine cylinder liners.

    Hi Ian - Gerry sells a moulding that's the same as original and uses the lenses and bulb holders from a Mk2 Ford Escort but it's fiddly to make it all fit and you end up with thin fiberglass/perspex. Your's isn't one of those!

    If my memory is right one of the options I looked at back in the day was from a DAF 33. It's a bit chunkier than the Stratos one and the back of it was slightly hollowed out? Looks like yours I think but I can't find a picture of one on the web yet! Let alone one for sale anywhere!

    You're right Guy.
    It's a Volvo part (who took on DAF's cars) by the looks (part number 3269813):

    The outer housing shows the hollowed out section I mentioned. Does that look like the back of yours Ian? You'll have to scroll through the gallery pics.

    Re: Alfa 3.0l engine cylinder liners.

    I've been looking for an hour or so and can't find any housings anywhere. Sorry but I think you might have to consider alternatives?

    You'd need 2 of these to do the one Gerry supplies

    Hi Guy
    I think you have cracked it. Volvo 66
    I think the one in the add has other accessories like the rest of the car!
    Thanks
