Title: Beta Struts?
Post by: HFStuart on March 06, 2017, 02:07:55 PM

A chap on eBay is adamant these are Beta struts as that's what he took them off  - fair enough!

Thing is they don't look like any Beta struts I've seen  - the hub to strut connection looks wrong as does the top mount.

Any ideas?

Hi Stuart

I wonder if they are off a delta?

As you say lots of differences to any I have seen unl so late models had a different setup or they were put on a Beta later in its life due to hard to get parts, but originated from non Beta?

This is what I took off my Beta during the strip down. Plenty of differences from what I can see.
