    Koni bushes

    I have a 72S which is fitted with original konis.

    I want to replace the bushings in the lower eye mount where it bolts through to the trailing arm as after 47 years, they look a little past their best.

    I cant find anyone, including Koni who supplies these bushings. They are bigger and more substantial than the bushes used on cars up to and including MY1971.

    They are a single piece 'casting' of a rubber cylinder with a steel tube inset into the bush for the trailing arm bolt to fit through.

    Does anyone know where i can source 2 replacements? Am in the UK but if not available domestically, am happy to shop elsewhere and get them shipped.

    Thanks

    Andrew

    That doesn't make sense,,,,if you buy new Koni shocks they come with new bushings,,,,how could they (Koni) not have them?

    In my experience, most shock manufacturers don't sell individual bushings. Just complete new shocks.
