Yes - I've had adjustable Koni's on other vehicles, and do like the ability
to fine-tune the ride/handling.  I take it you don't know where the brackets
came/come from?

I've used Koni frts for my BJ7 for many years. Don't think they are
available
anymore,bought a spare set of shocks back in the '70's , still in the trunk
of
my '76 BJ8. Got mounting brackets from '67 that was in a fire. Plan to put
them on this summer. Good thing about Konis is that they are adjustable.
