Do they do a rear one for the C70?

What size are the nuts on the strut?

I've not seen a rear upper, and don't think one would help by the looks of it.
I have seen underpan braces, which look easy enough to DIY with some 1 inch box and a mig.... As they wernt cheap
Can't ever beat the full cage ( if you can spare the space )

No i spoke to the guy at Volvo they never made one for the 70 never mind i only wanted one to hold all my cleaning stuff in 1 place in the boot rather than all over the boot! lol

i paid £250 for the 4 piece chassis kit which i didn't think was bad

I have one in the back of my V70 estate

[jotter22]

I dont have a v70 estate! ;-)

[sartain87]

Both the same chasis surely?

Would an 850 saloon one work?

Cant be exactly the same yours is about 4 ft longer than mine!....Lol (but i am not 100% sure someone please tell me its not the same)

[sartain87]

Its 4 ft longer, not wider

Fits just above the spare wheel.

[jotter22]

But i have only got a little boot ;-( anything thicker than a 3.2 welding rod would cut my bootspace down by 40%

[sartain87]

Best bet, PM BlackBeast thats who i got mine from.

Ill take a picture when i can so you can see, not sure what your boots like but its just above the spare wheel underneath the carpet.

The rear strut fits in place where the 7 seat conversion goes so I would doubt if volvo put the extra holes in for the C70

If you click on my album there is a picture there

There is a chap called Arie Kanarie who makes strut top rear braces:

No but you can buy them for the 850 saloon's, they dont run 7 seats either, so must be a similar if not the same set up
