My ‘74 parts car has black struts with green upper sleeves/hats… and I’ve seen this before on other cars. Actually I also have a set of 5-lug 3” struts that came to me the same way. Was this how they came from the factory and what inserts would they have had? I don’t believe these are the rare bilstein struts as those are ALL green if I’m not mistaken.
.
Some Bilstein inserts came with green Bilstein top caps/dust caps.

Yes aftermarket used the black Boge base
Koni had Orange Top
Bilstein had Green and Yellow
Ok so inserts would have been “ bilstein for boge struts” rather than the rare all bilstein set up.. got it, thanks.
