1983 760 Strut Mount Replacement Issues

I am trying to replace the strut mounts on my 1983 760. I ordered the parts, but they are not fitting. All the same parts are shown for this car, from Rock auto or FCP euro. Upon closer examination, the difference is the spring. The parts I ordered were for a spring that tapers smaller at the top, and has a smaller spring seat. Mine is one size top to bottom. When I try to use the parts I ordered, the larger spring seat rubs on the mount. The mounts needs to look more like a 240 style, but with two studs instead of three. Has anyone ever had this issue or know where to get the right parts?

What I need parts to look like:

I hope this isn't too confusing, if I need to clarify any, just let me know.

Thanks for the help,

You can use a 240 mount if you move the studs

Thanks for the tip! It seems like my only option at this point.

Or just swap entire strut assembly/brakes over from an 88+ 700 series. 82-85 760's are dinosaurs.

Does it fit the old strut tower?

I found a part number on the old strut mount: Volvo 1229647.

Anyone know where to get one or cross reference the number?
