Hello,
I just received from Germany a pair of Front Struts that were advertised as Bilstein G modell. I guess that the G modell was used on '74 and later cars, it has 90mm (approx. 3.5") between the fixing points for the brake calipers, and 18mm thread. However, the struts I received have 75mm (3") between the center of the fixing points for the calipers, and a thread of 16mm diameter, so I assumed these were F modell used on 911 cars till '73. Looking at the struts more in detail I found that the steering arm is engraved with the number 12, followed by the VW logo. I guess that VW never produced struts for the 911, and probably this is a strut for a 914-4 (useless for me, as I was buying the struts to convert my 914-4 to 5 lug wheels). Can someone help clarifying this,to help me to convince the German supplier that he has to accept the return of the struts. Thanks in advance Miguel K R (Portugal - Europe) |
