mikey_m Posted July 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 JB1712 is the correct part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the witzl Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 just for my own personal info.... when doing this upgrade, doesnt it affect the resulting camber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLinded_ Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) If you use the XT130 LCAs it gives about 1º-2º negative camber, so I guess if you use standard KE arms, then it would probably stay close to 0º. I've only ever had my car with XT130 LCAs and struts, or standard LCAs and XT struts, but with camber tops, so I don't have any comparative photos or just plain struts by them selves. The main problem is the fat Corona hubs will give a fair bit more track, so may cause flush fitting wheels to poke out even more.

Roo Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 if you using the pug/hilux rotors, with standard lcas  you have to use the corona steering arms which give you more neg camber, ae86 steering arms don't work are the rotor hits the lca unless your using a corona arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So will AE86 p/steering arms work with standard corona struts/brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 That sucks. So will AE86 p/steering arms work with standard corona struts/brakes? could do never tryed it with the stock corona brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLinded_ Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes they can work with the standard Corona brakes...But the rotor will slightly foul on the end of the LCA. I Just gave the end of the LCA a few love taps with a hammer to slightly flatten off the bit that touched, and it works a treat. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey_m Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 OK Guys  To Explain the conversion, there is a little more than just changing the brakes. The whole conversions looks like this.  - Corona Struts Converted to Coilovers (Otomoto Kit) - Noltec Camber / Castor Tops - Corona Hubs - Corona Twin Piston Calipers - Corona DBA Slotted Discs - Corona XT130 LCAs - Corona Steering Arms - JB1712 Master (Pajero) - 14" Wheels  Without adjusting any camber at the top, the car sits at 0', there is tonnes of movement still available, I am hoping for anything between 1.5' to 2.5'  So as you can see there is a little more than jsut upgrading the brakes.  All the above fits without any fabrication or special adjustments, steering arms did not hit the wheels, turns left to right 3.5 full rotations.  Standard KE steering arms do not fit this conversion, I have read but not tried AE86 steering arms. This might be the next step in understanding this conversion.  I hope this helps to clear up the conversion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLinded_ Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Awesome:) Will have to come and see this thing in action sometime:P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the witzl Posted July 8, 2009 Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 increase in track tho mickey m? my wheels are pretty fat, so extra track might be bad for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLinded_ Posted July 9, 2009 Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 +20mm O/A increase if XT130 LCAs are used, aswell as what ever the hubs add. Unsure of the hub offset though, so I don't know an exact answer there. Â How 15x7 -2 wheels sat on stock guards with Xt130 Struts, hubs and LCAs for an idea of track increase.

silverra23 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 I fitted the JB1712 MC to my KE35 yesterday. Have run into a snag. The front brake line outlet doesn't have a tapered seat for the brake line to seal against, and as a result my front brake line is weeping. Did yours do this? Â Wondering if there is a fitting I can screw into it which will then allow me to use the brake line I have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 i took mine back to the shop and got them to put it in, they are a bandjo*spelling fitting for the master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverra23 Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) Cool I was hoping that was the case. Damn another brake bleed coming up, have done three or four now!! Edited July 19, 2009 by silverra23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
