I am powder coatigng all the suspension part before they go back on the car , the rear original shock are boge and are black,, figured the front would be black too but they are not ,, they are grey whats wrong with the car , and on top of that it seems the insert are built in the strut as when the nut was removed oil was o plenty
so what the deal with the grey strut , are they original ,, what will a judge think if he sees black rear shock and grey front, would front PCed black also be considered original |

I have a set of original 914-6 struts on my 914 2.0. They were original when I bought htm, and they are grey underneath the black. I believe this to be originaly how they were delivered.

Those are Bilsteins... you may have a fairly rare 914 option. You may simply have Bilstein inserts in Boges. I wondered when you said oil but many people mistake the basic anti-freeze for that. Part number?

I would not worry about the grey and do semi-gloss black as all the other parts. Every single Boge strut I've seen (my 914-6 included) was black as Martin stated.

QUOTE I hardly know if they're original but mine are green. Those should be Bilstein "struts". |

I have some NOS Boges from Porsche and they are gray. I'll look at my 6 and see what it has, but I can't say if they are the original ones.

Perhaps my front struts were replaced somewhere along the line, but before I powdercoated the entire front suspension smoke chrome... (no lynchings, please)... mine were black.
Hope this helps, Lawrence |
