Strut please

I am after a nearside strut for my 71 911E, it is green on top and black on bottom.
Dont know if that makes any sense to anyone, its all Dutch to me.
It is worn where ball joint sits at bottom and threaded part, where bolt goes in, has been drilled out, so its just these bits I really need as I assume I can strip mine down and replace knackered bits.
Advise and bits would be welcome.
Thanks Stuart.

Hi Stuart,

There are different types for that year. What is the spacing between the bolt holes where the calliper bolts, it will either be 3 or 3.5 inches.

If they are 3 inches I have a pair for sale which have just been powder coated.

Thanks

Alan

Hi Alan
I believe they are 3" as they are not S calipers, can measure Friday to confirm. Is this from bolt center to center?
dare I ask price?

Yes, centre to centre.

If needed I can grab some pics of my spare ones. Fit new ball joints while you are there.

Hi Alan
3" as expected, the ball joints and shock were replaced prior to my purchase, they must have just knackered the strut thread putting it all back together.
What type does this make this one, bit confussed with the green/black combination.
Thanks Stuart.
