I have a set of Koni adjustable gas shocks that were in a 220 I just parted out, will they be compatible in a 142? I'm pretty sure I can mount them but will there be any weight issues with how they are valved? Just curious, not sure if I'm goin to hold on to them or just sell them. I have bils in the 142 project right now anyway.

      Sorry, I don't. The white and tan 220 went to a new home, the light blue and black one was stripped down to nothing and scrapped. Nothing much left but the complete front and rear ends, which I'm trying to sell locally.

    The 142 is a bit heavier but not that much and Konis are usually pretty stiff.
    You might want to check dimensions on some shock absorber company's website.
    Monroe might be a good place to start.
