[urq] Interesting strut bearing info

Hey fellas-
yes...another strut bearing post...

I got some strut bearings from Rod at TPC last week that he claimed were the original urq strut bearings, but not painted blue (they're just black).  I received them and they had p/n 857 412 323 B.  Sure enough this p/n matches what TFA shows for the '84 urq.  But here's the weird part.  The "Blues" that came out of my car, and at least one other Lister's car here in Denver, have p/n 857 412 355 A.  The 323 B part looks like it would theorhetically raise the car a few mm compared to the 355 A.  And both have 857 p/n's, which I thought meant "urq part."  The 323 B I received has stouter rubber than what I've seen on the 8A0 (4kq) and GT coupe strut bearings.  Anybody know the story on the two seemingly urq specific parts???

Thanks-

Brandon
