Hey guys,

 

I know its a long shot but would anyone here have made a set of adjustable strut tops for their ke10/11 rollas? If so does anyone have any cad files or plans however rough they may be? Pics would also be useful.

 

Also plans for a home made adjustable strut brace would also go down well! or pics etc

 

If not i guess ill be undertaking this myself and when done ill post the plans etc.

 

cheers

I believe Stewart Ford did adjustable tops on his sprinter??

you may have to get searching through the yahoo groups oldcorollas files.

here is link: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldcorollas/

 

failing that maybe contact stew himself, he's on toymods a bit.

he'll come under the name 'oldcorollas'

 

Scott.

this is his actual adjustable top page from his website

EDIT - click Suspension on the left side of the page, then use the dropdown to Adjustable strut tops. Theres a drawing as well.

 

old old old school pictures.

thanks for the info fellas!

mate, I'm gathering you are looking at making some up?

 

if you do go about it, let us know, i'll buy a set for sure.

 

EDIT - I just looked at that drawing, and I could have that in solidworks or DXF format tomorrow night. I think I will email that to a laser cutter bloke I know as well and see how much it will cost me.....

 

EDIT AGAIN - Damn, Stewarts drawing doesnt have the PCD, and I don't have my car on me. have to wait.....

yeah ill be making some when i get the time. My subaru has the motor and box out at the moment and it seems to be taking up most of my time! So it may be a while to begin the strut tops but ill get there sooner or later...

You can use strut tops made for KE2x/TE2x you will have to oval out the holes a bit, the spacing is a few mm larger.

Good to hear from a Canuck enthusiast.

Where would we get the KE20 ones you mentioned?

Thanks,
