    Identify Shock

    Don't see a brand on this shock. Would appreciate help identifying. It is from a '73 911E Targa. Boge?

    I thought Boge because black but now see green on edge of unit. Bilstein? Unfortunately car is at paint shop and I do not have access.

    If this is a roll pin, then I would say it is Bilstein.

    Usually under the paint will be the manufacturers name.

    Bilsteins are installed upside down like that with the shock body as the piston. It could also be hydro-pneumatic struts, but more likely Bilstein.
