    SWB Koni struts. When did they become available?

    The SWB koni struts were standard for the 67S and 68S.

    These Koni struts are dated 10.65. Any one have a similar or early dated set?

    Also - trivia detail - these early strut Koni top covers didn’t have stamping.

    Thanks Franz. Appreciate your input since I had not seen that thread.

    I noticed that the date stamp on your sold 11.65 were stamped in the foot, while these 10.65 are stamped in the tube.

    Would appreciate more input to learn more about Koni struts.

    The earliest date for Koni installation according to the Kardex I have is Nov 3, 1965 (invoice date), so the 10/65 date would be appropriate. An earlier date is a possibility. I am sure that the race department would have used them first. Use with the 356 was as early as 1958.
