Where to Buy New Mounting Kits for Koni Shocks - Front

Have been trying to find new mounting kits for my front Koni shocks.  Have called Koni several times have left messages, but no one ever calls back.  Maybe they have limited staff due to the shutdown.  Tried their website, put in the part numbers and get nowhere.  Anyone have a source that might have them?

Thanks,

Greek

Cobra Automotive has the bushing inserts listed. I don't see the bolts specifically.

No, the rubber and metal washers at the spring perch.

Just ordered, what I hope will be the correct kit for Koni's, from Performance Shock, Inc. in Sonoma, CA.  Will update after I receive them.

The 66 used stock Mustang mounts at the bottom and the export (washers welded on) top mounts. I didn't change anything but the shocks when I added them to my Hertz car in 1975.

After no luck with Koni, no call back.  I searched various automotive websites, but could only find rear bushings or kits with parts I did not want or need.  It could be my key work searches did not have the correct terminology.  Who knows?

Yes, I checked out Cobra automotive.  Not a real fan of polyurethane.  Since, I am just down the coast from Sonoma, CA.  I should get the kits by early next week.  Will post a picture of what I receive.

I ordered mine directly from Koni NA. I got the mounting bushings, washers, and nuts for front and rear shocks, and the thread protector caps for the rear shocks. They may, or may not, be period correct, but that didn't matter to me. The protector caps are definitely not '60s period correct. Jim Cowles may still have the period correct protectors and front bee-hive bolts if you need them.

The rubber bushings will all split with time. Poly won't.

Did you order your via the website or by telephone?  How long ago did you order them? I tried to do a search by part number, but had no luck.

I know, but not too concerned about that.  I removed the shocks after 25 years of service and a couple were split, others were just flat.  I do mostly casual driving, so the rubber should be sufficient.
