Used cone's probably won't help you.  Best off seeing if anyone is selling a used spring conversion or take a look at the vendors across the pond.

no wonder i felt  too much vibration on that side of the wheel.

The rubber and the metal cone are meant to be two pieces and not fused, the wieght of the car should keep them together.  This site helped me a lot with photos.  My  rubber was completely shot.  I ended up replacing with new quality rubber and adjustible height cones on all 4 corners.  There are 100s of threads on this forum, i recommend reading them.  Also consider going to a coilover setup.

Crack open the Haynes manual Not threaded they just sit together. Jack up the car then line them up and lower the car. Unless you have some worn out parts this should work.
