There is a growing enthusiasm for Volvos and Volvo PERFORMANCE PARTS.
Many small producers of these parts have come and gone over the years. Most do not survive if their products don't sell. So if you want to see these products available in the future like I do, please support these guys and buy from them.
If you are an independent producer of Volvo performance parts or other inventive devices like these below, Dave's Volvo Page will be happy to feature your stuff here. Please email Dave.

P A R T
S for Your VOLVO |
Roger Patricio in
Florida restores Volvo R-Sport instrument clusters and he developed an
exact reproduction new CIRCUIT
BOARD for the Volvo R-Sport gauge
cluster. The
original circuit boards are rare enough used and certainly have not
been
available
new for 30 years or more. The original one tended to fail because
of
cracks (probably because they're just really, really old). Now
you
can revive the old R-Sport
clusters and
actually have reliable service. According to Roger, testing has
found they actually perform better than the
original boards did. 
Roger is
also
offering reproduction
warning cel strips for these same instrument clusters. Email Roger Patricio at rp242t@aol.com.
GAUGE LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS using LEDs: If you have been bothered by the dim gauge lighting found in your gauges, Roger has been working with LED lights to make older Volvo gauges light up really well. He does custom installations in your gauges and can include custom color faces too. Here are some examples of his work below.

This
cool little invention by TPO Enterprises solves the droopy trunk or
boot lid
problem in any 240 sedan. 240 lids will often have trouble staying up
due to old springs or the addition of a spoiler. This device mounts to
a hinge and instantly locks the lid open when needed. Click here to see more about it.
