Here's one of my distractions that's been taking up time that I should be using to finish my engine build. I picked up a set of front struts and brakes from a 1972 911T for a 5-lug conversion. Here's my progress up to this point..
Struts: Bead blasted, just primed one tonight... Will be painted satin black. Attached thumbnail(s) |

I have those same 911 struts but they are rust pitted way more than those. I guess I'll have to use my urethane filler primer to get mine that nice. I'm going to use a stainless steel two part epoxy paint on the suspension parts. It's used in industry where a really durable finish that can be painted on is needed. It's probably more expensive than powdercoating but it can be touched up and redone if I decide to go back and change something.
I bought a zink plating kit from caswell but I haven't tried it yet. The place I priced some small parts at wanted 100.00 minimum. The bilsteins I have are for both the 911f and the 75 914 but the inside hole on the strut nut won't go over the insert shaft. |
