About VW type III shocks ... sorry maybe not everyone knows this:

The VW Type III is also known as Fastback or Squareback and these are the shocks mentioned in post #3.

Also made 1962 to 1968 in single and dual carburetored versions and called Variant or "VW 1500" outside USA.

It's the Electronic Fuel injected VW 1600 that debuted in 1969 and was made until 1973.

As I remember they have an eye on both ends like the third picture of post # 20 above.

I could check the set of Koni adjustables for the Type III that i have but at present I have not been able to remember where they are.
