'74-78 X1/9 strut measurements

July 2 2008 at 12:03 AM		JS 


Response to 128 Strut Photo
I just measured a NOS 1974-78 X1/9 rear strut, an OEM part made by Wayassauto. The stamping on the side reads:

WAYASSAUTO - MADE IN ITALY - 909 27 1425 - POST. 128 BS OC.1 - FIAT 4290389

The total overall length is 21", & the length from flat part of spring perch up to the end of the strut is 11". Measurements were made with strut rod fully extended, as in your photo.

It would appear that the struts you have are for the front of a Fiat 128, not the rear of an X1/9.
