gear shift the acual bracket that holds it on

There are two brackets. I'll look for them and take pics tomorrow for ya.

Update:

 

have been fitting the dash and have reilised that my fuel guage isnt acurate when i took it out when it was right down the guage was showing around a 1/4 full. also my fuel guage only works when the hand brake is off and i have a constant charge light on

Have you conected the earth wires?

UPDATE :yes:

 

Finally got around to starting work on my ke30 and guess what i found... Rust... :y: but on the upside it will be easy to fix because its only in the engine bay :) :dance: :bash:

also i managed to get a ke70 with a 4k a 5 speed box a 32-36 weber carby and extractors for free so i am rather happy about that. i have attached so pictures

the last pic is of that very front rail that runs below the radiator how would be the best way to fix that??

Thanks

 

 

The ke70

 

 

Update: well 2 in one day I'm on a roll :hmm: :S

 

i started pulling the ke70 apart i plan on using the front brakes, front seats,rear sway bar custom adapted and a few other tiny little things including handbrake console.

 

i have planned out what i want to do and some of the modds include:

 

4k with 3k bigport head

32-36 weber and sports filter

extractors and sports exhaust

ke 70 front brakes inc preformance pads

rear swaybar

nice set of wheels hopefully 5 spoke i don't know why i just like them

and fix up all the bodywork

and anything else i think of or get told would be cool

 

Thanks

Did you end up sorting out the console?

nah i havent as such i think that will be a job for today as the interior is all i can really do..

I don't think i can do the body work very well so ill leave that to someone with some experience

 

also does anyone know if a k50 will bolt up the same as a k40 and the gear leaver be in the same spot not further forward or backwards

 

Thanks

The shifter would be further back if a KE70 K50 gearbox is used in a KE30, there's info about it here:

The speedo drive in the KE70 K50 may be different to the earlier ones, so the speedo might be out a bit; they can be easily changed over.

Or you could use a KE55 K50 and the wholes will just line up.
