[quote=Snakepit;29188]James, respectfully, how do you know the Koni installation was done at San Jose? If either/both were dealer installed that would have little to do with the shock supports unless they replaced them with standard Mustang ones.

I also have stories from original owners where they replaced the stock shocks with Koni's with in days or weeks and now do not have the washer welded shock supports. They can not explain why nor can they be sure if their car came that way.

Would suggest that you don't have "the fact" since this is a report or an observation IMHO.


Interesting the claims that 66 cars after the left overs came with Koni's. How are owners (other than recall) supporting it?

Jeff,

I'll grant you that this is an observation. It is also supported by a Shelby American window sticker for "Special Heavy Duty Adjustable Shock Absorbers" (Yes, I realize it does not state KONI). The owner's manual at the time was still stating Koni and the buyer's recollection was that they were the original issue.

But more important (for me anyway), this car was run as a B-prod - it just does not follow logic that they would upgrade the shocks and downgrade the shock tower supports. It is far more likely that it just did not have the washers welded on.
