The very first Volvo BL71's came in to the country on sticks on X pattern. They went out on demo and nobody wanted to use it as it wasnt on + pattern. Volvo sent a conversation kit to switch it over to + pattern. Consisted of cross over rods from the sticks to the valve block and a new plate to turn the sticks 45 deg to make them + pattern. Was a horrible **** of a thing to drive.. much nicer on X pattern
