Rebuilding struts.

Post by dwb_07 »

I recently read that Greg Prentice was rebuilding his struts and wondered where he got parts to do this.
Where can I find seals needed to rebuild a 71 front struts? I have no idea how to send a PM on Yahoo so I am hoping a post will suffice. On that same thread someone said that Fiat dust covers fit but supplied no details on which Fiat or where a source was. Details please. I posted these 2 vids on the tube. Hope they will be of help to someone.

No luck on new dust covers yet&.

Hello,
This is a set of dust covers I bought recently. They look exactly the same as the ones I bought and installed succesfully 3 years ago on my sedan. But... the inside diameter is a bit too large : the dust cover is loose, it mooves freely on the shaft. Be carrefull : as info, I attached a pic showing the references of these loose dust covers !!! I can't find the refs of the first ones I got, sorry.
Thank you.
Pierre.
