    1971 911E front hydropneumatic conversion -- what have I got here?

    I've decided to replace all my front rubbers (control arms, drop links, etc) with new Elephant OEM rubbers...along with turbo tie rods and new struts.

    Here is where I am lost. Obviously being an E my car came with the hydro-pneumatic struts. I've read that the original hydro struts cannot take standard strut inserts without either being replaced with non-hydro struts or some people back in the day were able to rework them to take regular inserts.

    So here is what I have currently;

    Struts are Boge #901 341 083 01

    I believe these are original hydro struts, correct? if so looks like my car was reconfigured back in the day to include sway bar and drop links and to use these struts.

    I would appreciate some input into what I have here; does it look like these struts were re-configured to take regular inserts? I was hoping to just throw some Bilstein inserts in. Should I keep these struts or source non-hydro struts? anything else look funky or wrong here?

    I don't know the size of the sway bar...didn't find any number on the end of it. Thank you.
