Hi Steve,

Try searching through Google. You come up with results.

Those part numbers are no longer available, and for some time, I guess, on the VADIS if a recent install DVD. I checked Tasca also. Though the 6819141 Rev 14 appears opt be a Volvo wiring kit on Tasca parts (I fat-fingered it?)?

The green shocks are most likely Tokico, made in Japan. Green-green or green-blueish? (Apparently Monroe makes struts for the part number, also.)

http://www.tokico.biz/

These could be KYB-made in Japan, yet doubtful. Tokico were much sought after for 240 and other RWD Volvo models for a short time. Though Tokicko no longer builds anything for Volvo. Not ever seen KYB as green. Always white. Yet the new Excels are black and the GR-2s are now grey.

Maybe Tien? They do build competition suspension components for some Europa makes. Nothing for Volvo, now.

The blue strut cartridge from Germany is made by Boge as OEM.

The Belgium-built black strut is probably made by Monroe as OEM for Volvo in Belgium. Monroe makes some good dampeners, so long as they are made in Belgium.

Sort of the Made in Germany Boge (you can't get in North America) versus the Made in Mexico Sachs "by Boge". (Though the Made in Mexico Sachs "by Boge" is holding up after some years on my 1990 240 red DL wagon.

Hope that helps. Curious, the green struts ... any other makers mark on them?

Thanks.

cheers,

B.
