Sliding down that slippery slope, I decided to pull the shocks since I already had the rest of the suspension off. At least clean them, if not replace. I was amused to find that someone had taken the time to write the date and milage on the front inserts.
 Anyone familiar with these red Koni? Google machine didn't turn up much other than they are 914 adjustable and are NLA. They are marked:  Front: HEAVY TURN MADE IN HOLLAND Special D 82R 17 Rear: HEAVY TURN NS-REGLAGE 82K 1722 I couldn't find any paint (other than overspray (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) ) or other markings on the springs. Best I can tell reading posts, reference books, and the parts catalog a 914-6 would most likely had Boge in black. Which is interesting as there are traces of original gray paint on our lower front strut tubes. Would the tube and inserts have different colors? |
