Re: Drive Saver

I have one, but doubt they always have the same spacing/dimensions. Or maybe they only made one size?

Re: Drive Saver

Hey Patrick,
If you could measure the hub size thats the recess on one side and the protrusion on the other side, over all outer diameter, thickness and center to center of the bolt holes that would give me a good indication of fitment. Lastly a coulpe of pictures of the measurements when taken so I can determine fitup.
Thanks.
Jim.

Re: Drive Saver

The 404v is the Volvo version with metric bolts and spacing to fit volvo couplers. It is a non standard item. I have one, but not for sale. Despite all the on-line places saying they are not in stock, go ahead and order one. They are made to order and ship pretty quick, or at least mine did. Unless you don't have a volvo engine/coupler. In which case don't get the 404v.

More expensive than it should be, however.

Re: Drive Saver

That is correct Warren, I have two folks that have one and are looking promising. I would never pay the new asking price, I have repaired my old one but if reasonable I would like to have a spare.
