Hi

I recently made the pleasant discovery that my P38 has Arnott Air springs fitted :D

Thing is I don't know if they are Gen II or Gen III. I have attached a pic in the hope someone may be able to assist me !

Thanks
Steve

Gen 2 I believe. The piston is not the right shape/dimensions for the gen 3's

The Gen III springs all have aluminium pistons,
The one on the picture looks like plastic/composite so it will be a Gen I or II

The Gen I is almost identical to the OEM Dunlop, the Gen II has the bag crimped to the piston but is otherwise about the same and the Gen III is longer with a redesigned aluminium piston which is also crimped to the bag.

Ill second that, they look like a Gen II to me. Gen III's have the shiny cnc machined piston.

Thanks guys, I was thinking Gen II's as well, based on the pics on arnotts website ... nice discovery but i still have a Gen III hunger, it's just that my wallet has been a little bit P38'd :D
