The non-gas-pressure Koni part numbers are: 
#82-1701-SP1 (front)
#82-1601-SP1 (rear)
Note that these excellent red-painted adjustable-damping shocks have been out 
of production for nearly 20 years, but occasionally, used ones pop up for 
sale and Koni still stocks rebuild parts for them. Note also that some early 
Panteras had Ariston-brand shocks (black paint?)  which are also adjustable and 
rebuildable. Most U.S. Panteras got Telecar-brand shocks (blue) which are NOT 
rebuildable or adjustable. Good luck- J DeRyke



Jack (or anyone) - is their any information out there 
(along the lines of a Mike Daily picture/step by step) about
rebuilding these shocks? - and where, if anywhere, parts are still available? - for those
that might say why bother...the answer is i don't know ...suppose i default to keeping
things stock and everyone seems to really like the stock koni's - any thoughts on the 
utility of going this route are also appreciated - thanks, stephen
