Koni Front Struts "WET" Non-Cartridge Type

Date Code: 15 70 http://pbase.com/image/169297625

Porsche Part Number: 901.341.083.10 (L)

Porsche Part Number: 901.341.084.10 (R)

A pair of Koni 'Wet' Struts with the correct 1970 built-code for a 914-6 GT. These Konis offer full shock-travel and minimize the risk of bottoming out the shock strut in some cases. Since there are no cartridges to 'insert' inside the strut, most of the strut-tube is used for shock-travel. Also, note how there is "NO" taper towards the bottom of the strut-tube, the cylinder is the same O.D. top to bottom https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/169389385 ~ https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/169389398

Incidentally, it is highly advisable NOT to do any kind of welding on these strut tubes https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/169389398 in an attempt to reinforce them. You run the risk of warping the outer cylinder out-of-round and you probably don't have the proper tooling to correct it. I'm leaving these Koni shocks alone, no raising of the spindles, no reinforcements https://pbase.com/9146gt/image/161074517, no welding.
