[ROVERNET - UK] P6B brakes and shocks, P6B brakes and shocks, P6b brakes and shocks...............

[Kent Kinard]

Hi Peter,
Jim Hall reported sometime back that the Koni numbers were 80 1666 front 
and 80 1667 rear.  I seem to recall discussion about whether or not the 
Konis were valved correctly.  P6 front shocks work backward from normal 
shocks.  I don't know about the springs.  Pierre may have OEM shocks.  
Where are you Pierre?

Rovereboundingly,
Kent K.
