OK you old super beetle guys

[cgarr]

Need new struts for the front of the old 72 super beetle. Bilstein does not show them for this one year. Any idea of a good strut for a DD and who has them? I aint going to track it! Need rear shocks too!

Thanks

Struts for supers are two bolt or three bolt, changeover was 72-73. As I understand it, it is possible for you to have a car with a bubble windshield and early struts. I seem to recall that 1972 has a fair number of one year only parts though, so I may not recall correctly. Old, brief thread about it.

You know you can fit 944 strut assemblies to the super beetle front end.

Does that make it a well-prepared Super Beetle?

I "assume" these strut inserts will work.
