    Bilstein

    I've repainted a set of Bilstein shocks and struts to go on a 69E. I'm looking for some proper stickers to apply. And does anyone have pictures of period shocks and struts for proper sticker placement?

    Anyone have a picture of a green or yellow bilstein shock or strut on a longhood? If I can locate stickers I would like to place them properly. If you shoot a picture can you give me their size in mm or inches please.

    I don't think I've ever seen stickers on them.

    I even have some Koni stickers in my garage as my car has Koni reds. The 911E we are building is Golden Green. Dark green Bilsteins on a Golden Green car was just too much green unless it's in your pocket. So we painted them Bilstein yellow. Maybe close enough to Koni yellow to make Foni Koni's. My client is a Bilstein guy not a Koni guy . I guess I'll keep looking. If I can't find what I'm looking for they'll go on naked.
    Ed thanks for the info.
    And Jim you always seem to come up with such helpful and creative ideas. Oh, and I ALWAYS totally enjoy our phone conversations. It always takes me back to my California Dreamin days of the 50's, 60's, and early 70's. Or at 64 what I think I remember.
