Mechanical Sympathy Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Yah I need a engine-to-gearbox bolt too... Best bet is to scrounge the wreckers for nuts n bolts IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mechanical Sympathy Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Well it's just basic metric stuff. If you have at least one of what you want, the rest won't be impossible to source. Don't give up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREEDY Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 anything that fits is usually rough enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd tell you the wreckers in Brisbane that has a dozen KE's that you could easily get the bolts you need, but then the secret would be out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 Do they still let you in there? Last I heard they weren't allowing pick a part. They are serious rip off merchants anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mechanical Sympathy Posted December 1, 2013 Report Share Posted December 1, 2013 On the northside Reed? I dropped the name of a Celica dude who sent me, so maybe I got lucky. A week ago I picked some higly-rated KE30 front and rear bumpers with all lights, indicators, bolts and end/body rubbers, driver and *passenger* rear view mirrors, clutch cable E-clip, and miscellaneous driveline and body bolts for one-fiddy (it was all the cash I had on me, talked him down from two-hundy). "I get $144 each for those bumpers mate", he reckoned. So, not cheap - but blinged out my KE55 sedan nicely. Must do a rides thread soon. There was an average chrome '55 wrap-around/pointy rear bar that I'd go back for, as my XX coupe has body colour bumpers. blurgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Yeah sound like the same one. I got xt130 steering arms from there and couldnt get them off the lcas so he threw them in for $40. Sometimes you win. can't go there after the rain, the old toyota section turns to a swamp.

ke70dave Posted December 2, 2013 Report Share Posted December 2, 2013 Boss wreckers in Tingalpa used to have stacks of ke70s, but the last time i went there (6months ago), hardly anything older than an AE92.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CREEDY Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 some wreckers will do buckets of bolts/nuts for 5 or 10 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
