Err...Jim, are you sure?  On the later (66 and up) Bugs with balljoint 
front ends, the upper shock mounting is different, like a stud through the 
plate.  I used the half-worn front  shocks from our Fasty on the front of 
my Bug (65, king'n'link) last year because *any* shocks were an 
improvement.  I know rear shocks are the same, pretty much regardless of year.
