FS Hydropneumatic Compensator

[craftysince86]

Not sure if anyone may be interested in one of these, but i am pulling this good condition used pneumatic compensator from my '72 280sel this week.

Car was a garage find about 2yrs ago, i bought this off of Marcus who owns Stuttgart ******** here in tucson. He said he replaced it, it def looks a lot newer than all the other parts under the car, but i couldn't give you accurate mileage.

i will post pics once the car is up on the lift tomorrow if anyone is interested

i have seen them go for $400+ i would like to get $350 + shipping/paypal or however else you want to send payment. located in Tucson, AZ

thanks

Why did you remove it to begin with?

Installing air suspension

Likewise. I am going with the Accuair e-level system. After much thought and research I got some 109 lower front control arms. They offer space for a larger bag and more travel.

i was unaware the 109 LCA made a difference

would you happen to have the link or can you fill me in?

thanks

I did not think there was a difference until looked into them. the gussets face down instead of up(no interference with a larger bag) and they curve down instead of being straight-which leaves more room. I'm sure the 108 ones are just fine-the 109 ones just let one use a larger bag(less psi for a better ride)
This is not my car-this pic is from another forum

Where did you find your arms?

Sorry Im so bad keeping up on threads. What bags did you end up going with?

[Tony H]

I bought them on Ebay. I don't like to wait to buy stuff like this-even though it seems expensive it always gets more expensive the longer you wait-they only made so many. I have not bought the bags yet but I think I am going with the Slam Specialties SS series.

i didn't a little research after i pm'd you and people seem to say they are pricey and hard to find as well. i think i am going to pass on the 109 LCAs, i'm am starting the bags this week. i just dropped the car off to paint to re-paint the inside of the trunk and prep it for the floor, i'm taking the car to my friend saturday and should get it back in the next couple of weeks. i'll post pictures once it comes back!

p.s.
i went with the ss-5 bags
