Topic: Paint for Koni shocks

[J_Speegle]

I came across some the other day, they are done but cost many greenbacks.
You are going to kill me now, as I cant remember where I saw them.
Sorry

About ten years ago when I was doing a 65 Shelby I needed some and simply made my own. Once installed you could not tell the difference. Maybe I should dig the mold out and post the process - could be used for making a very small run of those odd parts that are not available at any given time

Now if we just had a source for the rubber boots that go over the ends of the threaded stem....wasn't someone going to reproduce these?

You mean the ones Koni sells?

That would make for good reading. Nothing like getting over a problem yourself.

Thanks for the link (I think).  $50 is not cheap - I hope that is for the pair.

The modern Koni versions look different then the dome shaped  assemblyline correct 1965/66 versions.

That is a relative statement. Figure your time and money to procure materials to make a mold and the pouring media. Then time and effort you have to have to procure a pattern to copy ? Coupled with the time it takes to make the mold and the time to make the part. At the bottom side of the balance sheet of time and materials the 50.00 doesn't look too extravagant    .
