Welcome to the LITE version of VSAAB's Vintage SAAB Parts Interchange Table. Thanks to the insights and experience of hundreds of vintage SAAB owners, mechanics and parts suppliers, this ever-expanding table provides the enthusiast with an array of alternate sources for early SAAB parts.
Becoming a member of VSAAB will give you access to the FULL version of the database with literally hundreds of alternate part listings, part numbers and sources. Check out the VSAAB Membership page, coming in the weeks ahead!
I hope you find this a useful resource. Many of the parts shown for the V4 cars may fit European model years much later than 1973/1974. If you find this to be so, or if you encounter any errors or omissions, please let me know and I'll update the tables.
| Please note: All of the information provided here is assumed correct and is provided solely for the convenience of hobbyists and enthusiasts of early SAAB automobiles. VSAAB cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information, current availability of parts or suitability of the information for any application. Use your own judgement and be sure to double-check for your own application. |

| This may fit other years, earlier and later. Used stuff cleans up pretty well, just beware of holes and tears. Prior to installing, pinch evenly along the entire length to ensure a snug fit. The same stuff may be used on 96 side vent windows and possibly on the 95 as well. | |||||

| We use the 90� connectors and boots on ALL the V4 plugs. Also, the Belden crimpers aren't cheap but they're the best on the market and an absolute necessity with the Belden (NAPA) connectors. Also, NAPA refers to the boots as "nipples". | |||||
