    Brand of hood shocks for 73?

    Working on a highly accurate replica of an as-delivered March 73 911...

    I am interested in knowing what brand(s) of hood and rear lid shocks were installed at that time. Yes, I have done a intra site search and a google site search. Can't find where this was addressed before...

    These came out of one of my previous '73Ts. Build date of the car was 11/72. I can only assume they are orginal to the car, date code on them is 43/72.

    Yes those are original to your 73. I have the exact same hood shocks original to my January of 72 car and they are dated the 51st week of 1971.
