Hey Lou, that plastic cap comes with the shock mount and not available separately. I doubt you would find anything like that since it is most likely made specifically for that shock mount.Mark thanks again for the instructions and thanks to everyone involved for the excellent work.
I am OCD about keeping my original shocks completely original. With that in mind does anyone have the part number for the black cap on top of the shock mount that we need to modify to fit the Koni's? I have done a long search and have not found anything.
I have all the other parts on order.
Thanks,
Lou
Since you want to keep the OEM shocks original, you should buy the upper mounts and modify them however they are expensive and you can easily put them back on the shocks. You would have to do two things to make them fit. Since the hole in the upper mount was drilled out larger, the OEM shock will no longer mount properly without installing a tight washer over the shock rod to allow it to mount properly again. I don't have that washer size but can get it for you if you ever want to put them back. Also you would need a small rubber plug to cover the top hole in the black cap. It is totally doable to get the upper mounts to fit back on the OEM shocks. For the expensive price of purchasing those upper mounts, I think it is best to use the ones off the OEM shocks. If you ever need a set of OEM shocks untouched, let me know. I have a few sets laying around you can have.
