Are the 914 front struts green or black when stock? Mine are black but I have seen green ones around as well.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Nov 24 2021, 09:41 PM)  QUOTE(Literati914 @ Nov 24 2021, 09:44 PM) My ‘74 parts car has black struts with green upper sleeves/hats… and I’ve seen this before on other cars. Actually I also have a set of 5-lug 3” struts that came to me the same way. Was this how they came from the factory and what inserts would they have had? I don’t believe these are the rare bilstein struts as those are ALL green if I’m not mistaken. . Some Bilstein inserts came with green Bilstein top caps/dust caps. QUOTE(914Sixer @ Nov 24 2021, 09:45 PM) Yes aftermarket used the black Boge base Koni had Orange Top Bilstein had Green and Yellow Ok so inserts would have been “ bilstein for boge struts” rather than the rare all bilstein set up.. got it, thanks. |
