Civilizing a Cal Looker

I went on a mission a few years ago make my '67 a little more civilized as well. The koni's made a huge difference as did a lot of dynamat. I haven't been able to locate a Koni steering damper yet but as soon as I do, I'll be purchasing one. I'm currently thinking about some kind of exhaust that will be a little quieter than the A1 maganaflow. I wouldn't mind a set of aftermarket seats as well but all the ones I like cost a fortune.
The koni red steering damper is an excellent improvement over stock!
There is a huge need to control the shakes from a beam front end which the stock damper can barely keep up with and has to be in like new condition to be effective. The koni is adjustable, just like the shocks and is built to handle high performance. Worth it!!
Doktor:
I can testify on the Koni steering damper.
I have full set of Konis on my bug plus Koni steering damper - huge difference over stock !
As I wanted to lower front end the old school way, front is lowered only on the beam adjusters in combination with long travel balljoints and Koni's. ;)
j-dub:
Can anyone provide a Koni part number for a steering damper that would fit a early bug? All of my googling brings me to 76-1099 which is the type with an eyelet on either side which works on bus, 356 Porsche and maybe some later bugs. The early bug has one end that sort of looks like a hockey stick.
My best lead so far is 76-1099, but none of the internet sales listings has a matching image.
From CSP, they give a vw part number but not Koni
Doktor:
@ J-Dub: I couldn't find Koni part nr., but there is alternative from Bilstein: https://www.ebay.de/str/tafeltuning
It is also cheaper as my Koni steering damper costed me about 150€. ;)
Regards,
Doc

It might be 76-1293
