Sometimes you are looking for some minor things, like spare keys. Where do you find that information? I spent some time finding some of the "little things" on the web or at the shops or stores. Some information was collected by the members of the Volvo C303 group from Yahoo. I hope everyone will appreciate their work. I will try to make it available for "one stop shopping". At least will cut your searching time.
So let's start.
Spare keys: Ignition key ILCO NE10
Door key Taylor Lock P72K
Your local locksmith should find them. If not, they can get it from:

You can't get blank key from them. You have to be an authorized locksmith.
Rims and Tires: Standard steel rims 16X7.5
Standard tires 8.90-16, 9.00-16, 280/85-16
If you want classic military tires, follow this link, or this link.
It seems that 35/10.5-16 would be the closest size to the original tire and would fit the best on the rim. If you want tubeless tires follow this link or this link(Q78-16 model). Another good fit would be the STA Superlug tire (9.00-16). You can find other tires to fit the rims too (35/12.50-16, 305/75-16, etc). Does anybody knows how to find (or import) Silverstone MT-117 tires (the original 280/85-16 tire)?
Drain and refill fluids: It took me a while until I found what wrenches and sockets are used for draining/ refilling the fluids on this car. My major problem was with the portal axles and the front and back differentials. In the end I was able to use the right tool, without stripping any screw. Here is the list in alphabetical order:
Section Tool Fill Drain
Clutch housing drain socket 6 or 12 points n/a 11 mm
Engine oil socket 6 or 12 points n/a 25 mm
Front and rear differential socket 4 or 8 points 7/16 in 7/16 in
Front and rear portal axles (wheel carrier) socket 4 or 8 points 7/16 in 7/16 in
Gearbox socket 6 or 12 points 19 mm 19 mm
Oil cooler (some models) socket 4 or 8 points n/a 5/16 in
Radiator (top) socket 6 or 12 points 18 mm n/a
Steering socket 4 or 8 points 3/8 in n/a
Transfer case socket 6 or 12 points 27 mm 29 mm
Now we'll get to a very important part of the listing that you can also find it in Yahoo groups Volvo C303. I don't know how to link the group, so I'll have to type all the information.
