I've only ever seen one Saab in a scrap yard - my first one, before I knew better :) It's a long-shot, but what about asking the place you did the vacuuming if you can empty their bag, so to speak? You'd be amazed what you find when you go through a vaccy bag. Good luck searching for your replacements. Paul
