I'm going to grab my rusted and broken set of steel lines which is sitting on the dashboard of my 88 245. I will compare to see if either of those 2 lines match your power steering line pictured above still in the bag.
Thanks for this opportunity. Good news!

Thanks for the reply. I got lucky and found two lines (different sources). I have an extra if anyone needs one. Pictures are not great. Will send more if interested. FYI, these fitting are a little different than what came out of my car. This is an updated part, new part number. The fittings did work in the original rack.

Thanks

Here are the fittings to the original line. It had a flare w/ an O-ring. New version replaced this. No leaks that I know of.

The fittings on my rusted old lines from my 1988 Volvo 245 look just like your old fittings. You wrote that the new fittings don't fit the original old rack. I am staying with my original old rack, so I won't be able to use your new line still in the package.
I will continue to look out for the 4th, missing fitting so I have a complete set to fabricate new lines. Thanks again for all is good info.

Default I want this!

"Tasca came through. I have an extra power steering line. I should never need it, so available to anyone to keep their trusty 240 going."
YES!
DAYS of searching (which included a wrong order from IPD - (gentleman who gave me an order I got today that was bigger and with a banjo end, what I specifically said no to)

And now (with different, more specific search terms) I found your post here. Please let me know the cost including shipping and I will send you cash or a PayPal transaction. You'd be sending it to:
K. Michael
26 Noyes St.
Needham MA 02492

781 330 1363 - leave a message or text me

Finally, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PERSEVERANCE! I hope your daughter is enjoying her ride!

Hi Csabi, I need power steering lines for my 1988 245. Because of rusted through original power steering lines it is sitting disabled presently. If you have this part available I would surely like to get it from you. Please let me know what you need. I will look to see if I can send you a private message here with my email and cell phone. Thanks very much, I will be very happy to get this great car back on the road again.
Steve
