Bilsten b4 collars.

[Sanchez]

Does anyone have a pic of the bilstein b4 strut locking collar?

Ive got 3 pairs of different collars,
1 from bilstein,(possible b6/b8)
1 bilstein from BMW (bmw part number is bilstein)
1 pair from BMW(probable standard)

and none of them fit the shock absorber but all fit the 51mm strut.

All are different, but im sure the BMW ones are for standard shocks but the 2 bilstein ones am not sure about.

Any help, ideas would be gratefully received.

I'm just uploading my photo's again but I had an issue with my H&R as the diameter of the outer casing was greater than any standard shocks and some said they may need the B4 collars - my original thread is http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... highlight=

I suspected mine were of similar build to the B4's

Just waiting on photobucket and will get some pictures tomorrow of the ones I got from Germany for the H&R. I have a contact at eurocarparts that sourced them for me specially

FYI.

H&R have stock available. £9.96 each incl Vat.

Tempted to place a stock order dependiong on interest, Any takers?

[Sanchez]

Got your PM Matt, just waiting to see if I need 2 sets.

[charlE30]

Pleased your getting it sorted quickly mate, took me a fooking age to get sorted originally.

If it hadn't been for Eurocar parts it would have been even longer, couldn't believe how helpful the technical guys were with getting me sorted even when I hadn't brought the shocks from them.

Well ive been on the hunt for ages for them.

Yesterday Matt said no then said yes there are some in Germany at H&R at the price you quoted. Think he might get a bunch of the bought.

dose anyone have a set of the thinner walled ones as ive bought a set of b4's from a zoner but dont have these collers and in need of some asap

[Sanchez]

I bought mine from Matt through ecp but he can't deal with the zone any more.

Try H&R direct which is where he got them from I think.
