Early Style Strut Mount Rebuild Thread

Compliments of rocconut @ www.vwvortex.com

I recently purchased a set of early style strut mounts for my MKII Scirocco. 

Here is a picture of the original set.

After cleaning them up with the bead blaster and a coat or two of SEM and clear coat they came out nice.

We ordered a set of Early MKI Prothane bushings from here: http://store.blackforestindustries.c...amk1upstm.html

The white rings are NLA and mine was rather hard and goughed so I opted to order the stop ring from a 924 since they are much flexible and cheap from the Porsche dealership.

Here is the bag with the part number on it. $2.81 each

Here are some more pictures of the strut 

We also replaced the mount bolts,nuts and washers.

We took the bearings apart and packed them with grease but have purchased a new set but waiting for them to arrive from overseas.

I will post part numbers and prices later
