I thought I had one you could use as a template but it's gone 
Try posting in the C303 section or through the yahoo group http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Volvo303

It's not how long it is - as it will have a ram in the middle for hydro steering - what i really need is where to buy the balljoints
But thanks for the offer

Do you mean the drag link?
I probably have one if you still need it.

Yes still need one - But your in usa and it would cost to much to get it here.
Thankyou but I think I'm going to make one with rose joints.

Thanks jeepers - but I have made up a rod now with solid bar (en24) very strong stuff , how have you got on with your brakes now ?
I have just finished my conversion with 110 front calipers on rear and i used range rover rears on the front axle.
I didn't use my straight forward supplies kit in the end -
I'm off to Eurotrial in Norway in 2 weeks on the rocks so should be a good test for all the bits i made ?
