Bilstein 205 Uk Challenge Strut Bushes/seals

[jimmi 0 1 Cars]

Anyone know where I'd get new seals /strut bushes for re-furbishing 40mm (inverted) insert front struts ?

i got some seals from kam racing, I'm sure they could sort some bushes too.

 

are they genuine bilstein legs? as there are a few non bilstein legs about that use the 40mm inserts.

Cheers, Welshpug - they are genuine Bilstein -fixed platform for 9cm diamter coil springs ( as per UK Challenge build manual ) with aluminium top hats coupled to strengthened rose-jointed top mounts. I have tarmac and gravel inserts and corresponding springs

ah yes, I know the ones, quite rare these days but I believe use the same seals as the challenge damper and the height adjustable units.

 

my e34 has b8's which are inverted up front with the same seals!

Watch out if you're ordering bmw ones as there's at least 2 different diameters of inverted dampers used over the e27/e30/34 range.

I'd try kamracing and then Bilstein direct for bushes.
