    Tom,

    Not sure what's correct... However the last time I did my front suspension on my April '73S my originals looked like the one you've shown on the left..... Here right after powder coating...

    Hope this helps,

    Hi Tom,

    The cover on the left is certainly correct for Koni on a SWB. Weld bead around the top, rather than a machine looking weld or a spot weld as on the Boge. Chuck's look to be the same as the SWB.

    Best regards,

    Brad

    Don’t know how accurate these are. They came on a 75” set I bought some time ago. .....cliff

    both shocks on my MY72 have the style on the left. Both are dated 1971. Of curse both tops could have been swapped over but seems unlikely.
