Hmm... Let's see who's new box lasts tge longest! Dfunkt and I threw another box in the 10 last night, so much nicer than crunchy grinding bearings!

I wasn't game to go with a puck clutch in front of my T50 as I believe they are made of similar glass to the K50...

I went with a nicks custom clutch consisting of an organic plate with 1000kg pressure plate. Couldn't be happier with its performance for daily driving duties. :)

 

Cheers,

Jason

 

P.S. Good luck with the drive line - you sure need it!

Replaced the box and clutch Saturday night. After removing the clutch and inspecting it, I found it wasn't organic but ceramic!

 

Think I did well driving a ceramic button everyday to and from work in traffic for a bit over 2months!

 

More than likely the cause of my breaking stuff.

 

Anyways, replaced the box with one from Vallandor and a stock replacement clutch from Raven. Drives beautifully now. Although when I upgrade the gearbox I'll be getting a HD clutch.

 

Finally got to test out the new headlights, all i can say is WOW! What a good thing to have nice bright headlights.

How are they different? In previous post you said h4 conversion but they already have h4 in them stock.

Ok, well converted from original sealed beams from a '75 KE35 to semi sealed units.

 

Now have 55w/60w globes. I see the light!

What do we have here?

 

 

 

And here?

 

 

No takers? Its half of my K-W50 conversion. Since K-T's are so expensive, the K-W is Cheaper, stronger..... but a bit heavier :/

 

All thats left to do is pick up the W50 I'm getting and get a clutch.

 

Going by the pics from Taz_Rx's W50 conversion, i might be able to get away with a KE70 gearbox mount. And the Mounting position looks a bit more rearward than that of a K series mount.

 

Conversion will have to wait for hoist time so i can get it all in there then go under with the MIG and weld what needs modding.

 

Yesterday i trekked out to Sleeka Spares and bought a tacho. 3 3/4" Black smoked face AutoGauge unit. Got a big chrome goober surround.But other than that, it workes fine plugged into the MSD tach output. The little shift light copped a bashing on the way home.

what kind of mount is it? is it like a ke55 5 speed? just one bolt holding the mount to the housing or like 70 box with like a V mount with 2 bolts?

Looks like a V mount. Definatly not KE30/55 styles.

 

V mount.

 

 

Bit further back, almost KE30 auto X member positioning.

The auto X member position in a KE30 lines up with that tab on the bottom of the 4speed shifter housing.

 

The knob head that did the A30 to K40 conversion on the KE30 used that tab and an assortment of Bolts and washers. Rather crude...

MASSIF PIC DUMP!

 

Started out with a pretty average pair of 14x7 +3 Performance Challengers. The clear was yellowing and peeling.

 

Hit it with 320 foam pad to remove all the remaining clear. Next was 600 dry, 600 wet, 800 wet then Autosol.

 

Taped ready to paint

 

Painted

 

AutoSol'd and out in the sun

 

Test fit without the massive 215/65's that were on there

 

Had Achillies Platinum 185/60's fitted

 

More to come in the sun!

Dude, they look perfect!! Just enough guard fill, shouldnt scrub either. Nice job on the painting!! Love your work.

Thanks dude, really happy with them. Even Dad approves!

 

Doing the front the same and getting new tyres for them on saturday.

 

14x6.5 +27 fills the front without any issues. Could go less + offest but I'm happy with them.

 

Rears cost me about $270 including buying the wheels (with tyres) and new tyres.

Yusss, best rims ever :wink:

Now needs EVEN MORE Low in the Back. :D

 

Looks good Ryan. :y:
