Hmm...now that I managed to get a compressor and panel to build a level control thingy I'm confused on the shocks...

I know monroe makes new ones, but local dealers only hide under the counter when I ask for them...anyone have a part no or some kinda help?
Volvo part no is 3286542 - but it's no longer available.

The complete levelling kit for the 360 should have the following number according to me parts cat: 3340111-8. Hope you can get one, those things are really cool!

Good work that man, that car of yours is gonna be so loaded with extras you'll need the level control adjustment! Pictures are required of the bits, then when it's all installed! Enjoy.

hmm...now does anyone really KNOW where the compressor should be mounted? Been under and over the car and only place I found was in the trunk...?

What sort of size is the thing? Pics would help! The rarer items have so little info, just a couple of pictures in the brochures to lure people in, and most the original documentation has either been lost, or due to the way in which we obtain the parts, there is no chance to get them. Good luck and please keep us updated. I have a feeling Mr Foggy may know the most about this item, so his input could be useful.

Ah........ well......... in that case........pass I'm afraid. It looks like a cool piece of kit that. Where exactly do the button and slide scale end up being mounted, as the picture I've seen in the accessories brochure shows such a close view I'm only guessing. I'd image it could go in the aux gauge panel?

Saying that it looks too upright, I know the camera could be tilted, but I've reconsidered, maybe in place of the clock or around the ash tray panel area?

it does mount on the extra gauge panel....I have one brand new and its instructions even have a picture with the pressure switch/meter unit mounted . That's where I first got the "igottagetthisone" idea at first place...

You could also put it behind the gear stick or anywhere with two standard switch places next one another...even below headlight switch slanted 90 degrees :)

I have to put it to extra gauge panel. I have 240-based heated seat switches behind the gear stick and seperate (700/900 style) 'front/rear window + mirrors + cutoff to rear windows' at center console.

PS. Anyone notice that it took me a full hour to find a set of brand new volvo air shocks... :)
