914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ WTB/WTT: Early Boge Struts

Posted by: gcrotvik Apr 1 2011, 09:56 AM

I am looking for an early (70 to Mid 72) set of 914 Boge struts. I do not need rotors, calipers or even the strut cartridges, just the strut housings with spindles if that's all you have. They need to be in good restorable condition without any scoring on the spindles or inner bearing races.

I am told that there are no part numbers on the Boge struts. You can tell the difference between early and late struts by the shape of the brake caliper mounts (ears). On 'Early' struts, the brake caliper mounts are straight. On 'Late' struts, the caliper mounts are offset (bent out).

If you have a set of early struts, please let me know. I can purchase your set outright or I have a nice set of LATE struts with KYB cartridges if you need late struts and prefer to trade.

Thank you.

I think I have a set. I took them off my 71 when I went to 5 lug. I will need to go make sure.
