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) |

Under the paint in about the middle of the strut there should be a 911 part number. Strut is a Boge but I have no clue what brand the insert is. Putting some oil in the bottom of the tube was standard practice in the day. Caliper spacing 3" or 3.5" will determine the approximate years of the strut.

When I got the strut it was rusty so I media blasted it and painted it black. I saw no part number but will look again when I blast the other one. The insert is not the same as the insert I have in my 912 and looks like a completely different design. |
