It's not the bellows that hold the strainer, but the yellow two-part pickup suction filter -- what I call the "clamshell" assembly -- part number 8331159.
The linked photo is my complete pickup system (minus pipe clamps). The bellows (what you ordered from protech [thesaabsite]) is the black rubber connector between the pump and suction filter. Again, thanks to Steve Mac for pointing out to me this part from early 80's 900s.
I believe what protech is shipping is original equipment. At least the one I got was in an old dusty SAAB bag that had probably been sitting on some dealer's shelf. A lot of their parts are from sold out dealers.
There may be a problem with some of this old rubber holding up to today's gasoline. I don't know. I'm not going to let it sit too long anymore.
