Here you go;

You can also buy them by the each and yes they press in.



There should be holes in the top of the bottom leaf and perches for oil. ?They may just be plugged with paint or dirt. If your car has a mix of parts or is earlier it would be different. Maybe post a few photos of what you are working with. After this many years who knows what has been changed around.



Can you post a link to Andre's shocks? Not sure what "Australian" socks are.
