Front shock absoerbers

Post by moriarty »

My front shock absorbers need replacing on my 914-6. The previous owner fitted Koni struts at some point from a 911S circa 71/72?
Apparently these struts were factory fitted as a sports option and have a 911-341-080-10 part no stamped on them which are NLA from Porsche, I have been in contact with a Koni parts supplier to see if a replacement insert is available but they don't have a cross reference for the insert for this strut, has anyone had a similar problem and what was the answer?
Any info would be much appreciated.

Koni Part Number 86-1638

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/koni/411698?g ... GwodDrAI4w

About 20% cheaper as price includes VAT and these guys deliver in 3-4 days.

If you look around a bit more you should be able find them for a little less.
