  1. KE20 strut tops

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    So, have we found a good supplier of quality strut top bearings yet? 

    I don't really trust the Thailand versions that have 'HIGH QUALITY' imprinted on the rubber. They look a bit tacky, though they do use good NSK bearings. 

    I've contacted other Thai suppliers asking for better photos of their products but always get replies saying, no, we're unable to.

    How hard is it to take a photo! 

     

  2. KE20 Steering Box

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Hey Banjo, 

    Thanks for the reply, 

    Yeah, I saw that post through my searching, I didn't want to believe it though. 

    Surely there has to be a way to disconnect the steering column from the box. 

    I got the box out this evening. 

    Not fun, but I was able to leave the interior in tact. 

    I hope it goes back together well. 

    I feel sorry for anybody that has to do the same job with the motor, loom and brake lines still in the way. 

     

    You wouldn't know if there is any significance to the red streak of paint on the box, would you?

    I'm trying to keep the car as original as possible and restore it to its original factory spec, glory.

     

    Thanks.

    Hey, 

     

    I'm restoring my KE20, finally! 

    I'm trying to remove the steering box so I can give it a refresh and respray the engine bay. 

     

    I can't find anything on the wild web as of yet. 

     

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, 

     

    Cheers,

    You should be renting a diesel compressor...cheapest option I found.

     

    You can blast at what ever Pressure you want from 20-110psi...best pressure I've found is about 60-80psi, but depends what your blasting

     

    You can use Soda, but soda is expensive and over-rated...speaking from experience here.

  11. Whitewall Tyres...where Can I Get A Set?

    in General Mechanical

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    I'm looking for some old school style tyres for my rolla, but don't want to pay $300 a tyre and wait 3 months from "Antique Tyres"...

     

    I'm not interested in getting whitewalls painted on my current tyres, because I want the old school shape and tread pattern of the classic tyres.

    I'm also not interested in those white wall flapper things, the look terrible.

     

    So does anybody know anywhere else I can get some geniune whitewall tyres from?

     

    155/R12 to be more specific.

     

    Thanks.

     

    Joe.

     

    Call me on 0411 573 235 if anybody has anything personally for sale.

  20. Chrome Around Ke30 Windscreens?

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Speaking of chrome strips, the chrome strips that run along the side of the body(this is a 2-door remember), i noticed that they only have a chrome outline, then a black plastic/rubber in the centre...with a pointed tip at each end.

     

    Did these ever come in 100% chrome? without the black centre?

     

    vvvv...here's what I'm talking about....vvvv
