914World.com _ FS/WTB: 914 Parts _ Wanted: Junk Struts

Posted by: Eric_Shea Nov 4 2012, 07:18 PM

Wallowed out bottoms? OK. Spindles too far gone for street camber? Not a problem. Arms bent in an accident? Sure.

I'm looking for struts for a trade show display. I want to blast them, repaint them and have calipers mounted to them for trade shows.

I'll be happy to pay to have them shipped out of your way.

Looknig for:

914 Struts
Early 911 Struts
Later 911 Struts (3.5" spacing)

Let me know what you have please.

Do you want early or Late /4 struts? I think I have a pair of each

Thanks Rich.

It doesn't matter... I have a late here as well. Those I can mount anything on; 356, early 911, M-Calipers, Brembos.

They won't have rotors, just calipers mounted on them.

Hey Eric,

I have a mismatched set of early Boge 911 struts (3" spacing). One has a 16MM spindle thread and the other has 18MM. Other than that, they are identical and in nice condition. I will send them your way as I owe you for all your help.

If you or anyone else needs the spindle nut for the 16mm struts I have them.
It is a fine thread nut unlike the 914 course thread one. They are both right hand thread on the 911.
Porsche wrongly lists the 914 part for the 911 early struts. I found that 70's Mercedes use the correct nut for early 911 struts.
I need to stop spending so much time in Pick a Part yards.
