Exclamation WTB: 87-88 951 and 87-89 944 struts

Need more cores for our conversion program. Looking for 2 sets of 87 or 88 944 Turbo front struts. Must be useable cores - do not need good damping. No 951S, please.

Could also use a set of 87-89 944na struts.

Email for details

Thanks!

Skip I will have front 87+ turbo struts available to you in about 1 week, is that in the time range you need.

How much comprises the core? You can have the left overs from my Koni conversion (done using paragon's instructions).

Matt, contact me again by email when they are available to see if we still need them.

Ag951, a core is the useable strut less the insides. The insides are tossed. I guess core is the wrong way to describe what I need... the best "core" for our use is a worn out but not damaged strut... maybe casing is a better description.

Ah...so the tube I chopped up would need to be intact. I wasn't sure if maybe you just meant the piston section of the strut. Mine are junk then.

Oh...an interesting side note for those doing the Koni insert conversion:
If you don't have access to a secure table saw, get a pipe cutter. It's a little thing that looks like a question mark with a blade sticking out of the "stem". It makes a perfect cut. Credit for that idea goes to Mark Johnson (the guy who did most of my strut conversion, while I watched, learned, and helped).

Skip - you can probably just have them. Do you need the mounts, etc? Once, when I was in college Jason did a really good deed for me. I would be happy to let you have them. Small return, I know, but I try not to forget nice things, they are so few and far between.

I should have a set of 87 944na struts that I am willing to part with. I pulled them off when I put on a set of earlier struts with replaceable cartridges. I will check in the shed and make sure I still have them.
