Hi Guys,
So I dug out my Koni front struts to see about using them once again. Low and behold, I have two different styles of top nuts to hold the insert in. The thicker one has a brass insert that looks like maybe some kind of dust seal. It is about 25 mm thick. the other one looks like a plain old top cap nut but it is only 15mm thick. Wondering if there are variances in the length of Koni inserts or if spacers came with some. These are mid 70's struts 911 341 04210 and 911 341 0411. Might be looking for a top nut of one kind or another. thanks Andy Attached thumbnail(s)

Yes there is a lot of variation in Koni hardware. i tried to make a tool to remove the top nut but found at least four different hole spacings.
The nut should hold the insert to the bottom of the strut housing. I have some of them. Figure out which one you need after testing the fit with what ever inserts you use. |

OG is "Original Gangsta" which I think was his way of saying original install, and the other is for replacements... I could be wrong, but thats been my interpretation of using OG for decades.
