914World.com _ 914World Garage _ question about sealing ring for torsion bar

Posted by: buck toenges Feb 3 2017, 10:58 AM

I am putting my front suspension back into my 71 914 and have a question about #43. It is called sealing ring. What is this? what is it made from and does anybody sell these or do I need to call my parts buddy Garold?

I didn't really cut them on the lathe.

Its' sorta the same kind of grey foam that pipe insulation is made from. It only keeps dirt and maybe water out. Its' a dealer part.

Could be easily substituted with a home made part made of close cell foam
