Front Shocks Identification

[scalino65]

Hi
I'm trying to figure out which front chocks I have.
I dont think they're bilstein as they dont appear to have the roll pin fitting.
So, are they konis or boge? I'm not confident that they havent been painted, but they are black...
Can you tell from these (rubbish)pics? I can take some more from a different angle if it helps...what I can tell is that theyre not a pair as the offside one has the cotter pin fitting for the ball joint and the n/s has the half moon/pinch pin arrangement.
Cheers

Will, if the main body of the strut is straight and does not taper at the base near the cast collar then they are Boge.
Koni's taper inwards near the bottom collar. Split base is a 69-71 if it's a Koni. Wedge pin is 72- onwards. Odd struts.

I might have a single i would trade for your orphan strut.

Happy new year...

Isn't there also a difference in caliper spacing between Boge-Koni....from three inches to three and a half?

Correct Darren.

On that basis then they are probably Boge as it looks like they are 3" spaced steel calipers unless they have an adapter plate mocked up to fit them. Wide awake now..
