I got some 911 struts to do a 5 lug conversion. The struts came with rotors, discs, hubs and M calipers.
When I unskrewed the top of the strut I got a surprise, instead of an insert damper the strut contained a piston and a lot of oil. The only number I found on the strut was L 655.01 Question: Does anyone know what year the strut was manufactured and what type of insert damper do I need to install? Dont suppose its possible to refill and use existing piston? Thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1300.photobucket.com-17452-1411237135.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1300.photobucket.com-17452-1411237135.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1300.photobucket.com-17452-1411237135.3.jpg) |

Did you fill half way or more and did you replace the O rings? Appreciate if you could give me some pointers so I can avoid mistakes |
