styler Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 (edited) The saas ke30-ke70 boss kits don't seem to fit, the taper is too tight on the oem shaft. Its a pity as they are the better boss kit out there with 2 patterns and solid design, but yeah the nut doesnt even go halfway on when done up tight. I have bought a few over the last year hoping they would have fixed the issue but its the same problem. Tested ascross multiple listed vehicles for the boss kit. It is possible to machine the taper out but tricky and expensive if you can find someone capable of doing it. Anyone had similar issues?

styler Posted December 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Just tried again and got hold of tech, they reckon its not a known problem but will measure specs again next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 I had a SAAS boss kit in my KE70 and it seamed to fit fine. Don't Autotecnica make those solid-style boss kits as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
styler Posted December 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Ah no only saas as far as I know but will chase it up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boosted Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 From what I've seen, Autotecnica are nearly twice the price of SAAS. Made me reconsider a purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they may be dearer, but they actually fit. I know I'd be happier to pay way more for something that worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can grab it in a lathe chuck I may be able to help. Shouldn't be too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
