I am just in the process of converting back from aluminium arms to the correct steel arms for my '69. A few questions:
What are the correct shocks for the '69 LWB's?
I currently have Bilstein 707 0975 H001 which are in good condition. Do I just use them with different lower bushes to accommodate the narrower bolts?
If I am using narrower bolts (the aluminium arms had thicker bolts), does anyone have the part numbers for the bushes and metal tubes?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks

Re: Correct rear shock absorbers for steel trailing arms

In 1969 the standard rear shock absorber fitment for the T & E models was Boge with Konis being fitted to S models.
Many people have subsequently 'upgraded' their T & E models by fitting Konis.
However, if your Bilsteins are in good condition, I'd stick with those - especially if you have Bilstein struts on the front.
