Missing mounting hardware except for the supporting strap for the back. Instructions show original metal L brackets for mounting unit under the dash. Should be able to find mounting hardware at car stereo shop, hardware store, or make your own.

Was missing original wire harness. I made a custom wire harness from a round rubber plug, drilled holes to a crows foot pattern, crimped new wires to new pins, pushed through rubber plug, and taped each with black electrical tape. Wire harness will work as-is but could be stabilized. I was going to use a hot glue gun to finish it off but can't find it. Tried to find a legit plug that would work but unable to find a 4 pin crows foot plug, apparently it was only used in the 70s.

The unit and wires have spots from being boxed for over 30 years in Styrofoam, most can be cleaned off.

Due to being Electronics and over 30 years, sold AS-IS.

So good is City Safe that Thatcham – the people who set insurance groups for cars – has decided Volvos fitted with City Safe should be rated in a lower group.
