Andy:
My '67 BGT came with Koni Special D 801244 shocks, which are available from
Summit Racing Equipment for ~86 USD each. Bob Fisher (MGFISH@AOL.COM)
mentioned earlier this year that he uses KYB Gas-A-Just shocks designed for a
70's Corvette.These would probably also be a bit stiff, but KYB also make a
softer, low-pressure gas shock in a GR-2 series, available through most VW Bug
hot-rod shops for ~20 USD each. The big problem is getting a part number for a
non-standard shock. If you have friends in the auto trade, perhaps you can
cross-reference the Koni part number to other brands.
Good luck,
