hey guys I'm in the process of getting a roadie done for the 74 ke 25 coupe.

the mechanic wants new

 

struts in the front

front pads

front rotors

rearshoes

break lines

windscreen

idol arm bushes

 

i have been to auto pro, bursons, and repco..

 

so far the staff have been lazy as and do not want to help me and I'm finding it hard to get these parts.. can someone please help put me in the right direction on where to go..

 

cheers guys I'm located in frankston area.

 

cheers

Pads - autobarn

Can get rotors off eBay, unsure of quality. Or get yours machined for around 20 each.

Can get brake lines made at any hose store etc

Obrien for the windscreen at a guess

Why new struts? Just put new shocks in if worn

most places seem to be able to find ke20 stuff easier then KE25 stuff, however ke20 stuff not always the same as ke25

My ke25 coupe is a import mod so yeah I don't know if people are just lazy and can't be bothered looking for it but I'm not sure. Just a real headache.

Mine were too thin apparently eBay only has only ke20 or 30.. Would the ke 20 rotors fit?? They r 4 stud pattern also? And suit up to 74 and mine is a 74??

For all the brake parts, go and see Jack at "bayside brake and clutch" they are up off new street.

For the shocks/strut inserts and idler arm bushes, go and see Simon at "Peders suspension" down the side road from Mitsubishi.

Tell them Stu with the white supercharged corolla sent you. Simon at Peders will definatly know who I am(I have an account there) Jack might take a while(to remember me) as I haven't been down to get anything for a while.

 

Both places are quite switched on with what they do, both highly recomended.

 

On the windscreen give "national windscreens" a call usually heaps cheaper than "Obrien".

 

Stu.

Yep ke20 one will fit, you bolt your hub to the disk rotor so it will be all the same stud pattern etc as it is now

Heres where i got the same stuff for my ke20

 

struts in the front - I'm guessing you mean inserts? - Pedders

front pads - GSL rallysport (QFM HP-X)

front rotors - GSL rallysport (slotted RDA)

rearshoes - local brake shop

windscreen - Complete windscreens alot cheaper than O'brien

 

Hope this helps

thanks heaps guys..

 

will be making the clls tomorrow and heading to see people also.. just want the ca in my name so i can start getting the things done that i really want to do.

 

with the struts it just says on the roady form "front struts leaking" but yeah I'm pretty sure the super mechanic means inserts... :/

 

cheers guys.

 

its funny the things they pick up on... even though they know its going to be stripped down as soon as its done...

When the car was new, they didn't use strut inserts, rather it was a piston set up in an oil bath essentially. Nowadays all that gets thrown away and replaced with a sealed strut cartridge which fixes the leak.

 

Make sure you get a KE25 screen as KE20 is different. Post up where you get it and how much as I need to buy one.

ABS brakes can get brake lines at a good price

ke25's came with 2 different types of calipers. they will be either akebono or sumitomo calipers. before you go to the brake shop, get a pad from the mechanics and take it with you. they can then match it up. if the rotors are different (they shouldnt), they should be able to match them up too from whatever pads it has.

rotors are different between akebono and sumitomo calipers...

When all else fails take it to Peter Robinson Autmotive at Oakleigh. He will be able to sort you out with all the bits.
