I'm disassembling the '72 911 front uprights for cleaning, new rotors, etc., before installing on my 914.
I went to pull the strut out of the upright and it appears the upright is the outer part of the strut. The upright is filled with oil. Were the early shocks not self-contained like the ones today? Can I replace the lost oil (about 1 teaspoon worth)? What kind of oil? The shock has very good resistance and doesn't seem worn. Attached image(s)
