An insert for 275? What and why? Is it just rarity? Some strange one off design that no other car uses?

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Nov 3 2025, 11:59 PM)  @sixnotfour - Wow, great info, thanks for that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Mystery solved - real -6 Boge struts... Looks like you might have the complete parts catalog in paper. Back when I had my first 914 in California in the late '70's, my neighbor (who raced a 356) procured me a copy of that catalog - all the parts in English, French, German and Italian. It was like 4 inches thick IIRC. I gave it away with the car when I sold it in the '80's. Would really like to have it back now. QUOTE(wonkipop @ Nov 4 2025, 12:07 AM) given the rest of the description e shea lists out yours must be running 5 stud conversion? - done proper? with /6 hubs? and real 6 struts with bent steering arm? arm is to do with the track width. Yes, "real 5-stud conversion". One of the reasons I bought the car, because it already had that, plus the lovely real Fuchs black center 7x15 wheels.   Thanks to all who contributed to this thread!
