guys I just picked up new Boge rear shocks for my SIX. Is it a special spring perch or will anyone work? Thanks in advance. Been 30 years since I restored my last car so it is a lot learning to get back in the swing. Jim

Boge was the OE supplier.
Pics would help.
But pretty certain the stock deep stamped lower perch will do the trick.
BUT..... they have no height adjustment.

The perch is unique to Boge rear shocks. The three bumps on the shock body won't support other removable perches.
I've made a substitute before, I think using a cut off lower perch from a KYB. Maybe I can find a picture.
