Not sure what you need but I have single front strut with 6 part number.
Pretty sure it’s a right.
Pm a number for text if you want a pic.

I didn't realize the -6 spindle was different than a -4. Early (-4 and -6) I thought were the same, late (-4 only) are different brake mounting ears and ball joints.

914-6 spindle is the same as 911T. Uses a 911 hub. Not compatible with 914-4 at all.

Quick ID- 914-4 has a straight arm to the tie rod, 914-6/911 are curved.

Example from a /6 on the left, /4 on the right. Both 1970.
Note the /6 has no dust shield here.
