Grrrrr
While re-doing the suspension on my Z I snapped off the top of my Koni hat due to the nut & threads being very rusted and seized. There might be just enough to get a new nut on there. But in the event I can't, where can I order a new hat for my Koni Sports, for the front? Any idea how long it might actually take? |

If they have any in stock in the US, you should get them quickly. If they have to order them from Europe, it could take 6 months or more. When I needed a replacement hat, it took them an entire competition season to get it. I had to buy a spare pair of shocks to borrow the hat from. When the hat finally came in, I was able to resell the shocks. At the time, I suggested to them that they might want to keep some in stock, but I don't know if they do.
Sam at stranoparts can order the hat for you, but there's nothing he or anyone else can do about Koni's pathetic turnaround time. Good luck. |

thanks for the info.
well, it looks like I *might* have just enough threads left for full engagement. Gotta stop and get a new nut but other than that I think I'm OK. It will be hell replacing it next time... I tried removing the hat with my koni-nut wrench/tool. no go. wouldn't budge. rounded off the corners some, so its staying put for now |

I busted one of those a few years ago and Koni's first response was that it might take months to get, but then they found one and sent it to me for free as well.
