I have a set of struts sold to me as 911T struts. But mrHyde pointed out to me that they are a 914/6 number.
So were Boge part # 914 341 091 struts used on 911T's? I have everything for this conversion, but I'm going to have to buy new balljoints |

If they take the early ball joints, I'd look for later struts. If the early ones aren't worn out now, they will be soon. The Cap'n |

I know I would have to change the BJ's, but even though the old ones (1974, 75k miles in good condition) seem OK they could be the originals. I'm using the aluminium Brembo's with the 3" spacing. QUOTE(toolguy @ Jan 8 2013, 01:37 PM) Yes, that is a good part number. 914-341-091-00 . it is for the left side on an 914-6. . and -092-00 is for the right side . and they were Boge. . . if it ended in a -34 then it was a Bilstein and was optional for 4 cylinder cars. . . but only the -00 was listed as available for sixs. . AFAIK, it is the same "M" strut as the "T" strut but that carried a 911 part number. . they both used the small 3 inch 911T calipers. . For 1970, they both had the pinch bolt for the ball joint . . . Later struts had the wedge pin. . Yes 914-341-091-00 and 914-341-092-00 |
