    Need help to identify a set of rear trailing arms

    I picked up a 911 suspension front and rear from an old shop that had closed down and am not sure what I have.

    The front struts are Hydropneumatic units with machined spacers and Koni inserts so I'm thinking it might be 71' 911e

    The rear trailing arms have 6 bolt / 100mm stub axles and and the ball for the sway bar links but is there any way to id them for sure?

    Thanks!Name: IMG_20190410_084512.jpg Views: 307 Size: 134.4 KB

    Are you sure all six of those holes are threaded ? A 72-74 would have had four 10 X 1.50 bolts and two roll pins.

    There is a difference between the '69 -'71 trailing arms and the '72-'73 arms. The difference is in the shock mounts. Looks to me like yours are the '69-'71 version.

    I am with Tom.
    Here are some early ones that were on a 72 that I bought sight unseen that weren't quite right and now are.

    Thank you guys!
    The front struts that came with these were 911e Hydropneumatic units that had been retrofitted with machined spacers and Koni inserts that I had read were 71' only so it all adds up.

    Those front struts could be from 69, 70 or 71 too. Whoever said they were 71 only is wrong.

    Regards
