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 |

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. . |

As for the ball joint attachment method, I had, before I closed up shop, a largish pile of worn out early struts. In some cases, the ball joints were bad, as well, but mostly the strut bases were just enlarged to the point the ball joint was no longer tight in the receptacle. Bad news. BTW, for those folks who need a pair of early 911 struts for small brakes, I have a nice pair here that are "excess to my needs". The Cap'n |
