Hi all,
I have a Fichtel & Sachs shock absorber which I’m trying to find information about it. It is marked as per the photo:
Fichtel & Sachs
TK45 x 280
I understand Fichtel & Sachs were manufacturing shocks and other parts during WW2. What vehicle would this have been used on?
It is approximately 680 mm long in the extended position and it has a diameter of about 75mm.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
