'71 911T strut assembly, "early" or "late" ? Options

[qa1142]

So as I look at 5 lug parts... Would a '71 911T strut bold directly into my '74?

My ball joints are new, do I have to replace them with something different?

What year do 911T move from "early" to "late" style struts?

Any guess on Boge, Koni, or Bils based on this picture. obviously needs 100% rebuild

Thanks

That is a pretty nice set of S struts and calipers. The calipers would best be sent to Eric because they would likely require the full treatment of re-anodizing, new pistons and new cross-over lines. They could have from from a T optioned with S suspension. The studs on the hubs are pretty long so you will need to use steel nuts to fit unless you use spacers, but in turn they would need wider fenders. The change in ball joint was in 1972 so it is unlikely that your new ones would be correct. That is an ideal set of brakes for a 914 when done up nicely.

I thought at first glance those might be S calipers, but the second picture shows them better and I don't think they are. Seems to me S calipers come apart in several pieces, and these look like the cast iron type.
