300 TD-T rear damper R. and R.

I tried earlier to get an answer, but either it was missed or no one knows the answer.

What size flare fitting is on the rear damper of the W123 wagon?

Thank you so very much in advance!

The suspension member designed to dampen and at times, adjust the rear ride height using hydraulic fluid pressure.

A.K.A. shock, but that isn't right!

John, thank you so very much!

Ram, that is a new name. Makes some since, as rams the rear up.

14mm seems too small, but that is the one size I didn't try!
