Help ID'ing front suspension on '69 911 T

[citron]

Looking for a confirmation, on what this suspension setup is.
Car is a '69 911T with a '68 L engine, and I think this is the original Koni front setup, but it was poorly hand painted by the previous owner.

I'm hoping I can drain the oil and gunk out of the tubes and drop Koni struts in.

Thanks for the help!!!

Don't know but if it was me, I would remove some of the paint to see what color is underneath. Also poke around the base of the housing to see if I could find any markings.

Ah! Thanks HarryD.

On the back, just below the threads at the top. "KONI"

Good news! You may want to see if Koni has a service to rebuilt them.

You can buy new inserts and keep the housings
Strip the housings and refinish to original color.
There are various posts on the best matching orange

My 1973 911T had the same caps. Apparently, it eas an option that some did not order. You will note the tabs for the connection to the control arm are present so install is not hard and no welding is needed.

Judging from the fine threads on the gland nut I’d say Koni

Thanks 82 sportsc! Found the paint, will do it right.
Yes, no torsion bar, but the tabs are on the control arm. Future plans.
