Can someone help me locate one for the opposite side? Is there anything special about this part?

Yes. They're fairly rare. You'd have to check off the "Bilstein" option on the special order. Put a WTB in the classifieds. Good luck.

Early Bilstein housing part numbered for the 914 . They were the same as the early 911 housings. About an inch longer than the late housings. Inserts are interchangeable. Takes the short gland cap which are NLA but plentiful in the aftermarket sector. The housing body used thinner wall tube than the later ones. Those may have been valved specific for a 914 but later the valving supercedes to the early 911 formula.
