Seems there are no new cases for 1996 850 that look exactly like the one pictured in figure A in that last image.
Thank you. I never thought about checking the board to see if it would fit in the newer design case. It's not too critical though, as my originals for the 850 still function, they're just a bit worn. The S70 really needed the new cases as those were smashed and taped together.

Hi,

Yeah, the cases i did find were all marked "Notify me when stock becomes available" or something like that.
The actual ones for sale were so bad looking even I wouldn't want them and I'm not that picky with stuff like that. Couldn't even read the button texts anymore they were so worn out.
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.
1998 v70, non turbo, FWD, base model, on the road from April 2nd, 2015 to July 26, 2023.
