Trawling Google today I learned my lump in the Volvo is actually a duratec lump.
Readily available for cheap.

I have one you can borrow. It works fine but the arm goes down slowly.
Let me know of you want to borrow it. You can keep it for the duration of the build (only need it back early if my engine goes bang)
