hi I'm the proud new owner of a ke11.
no rust (with the exception of the spare tyre well) and perfect interior.
the only catch is that it has been sitting around for a while unmoved.
as a result the wheel cylinders are all shagged and the brakes have never been replaced, (only 57xxx miles done since 1970). so I'm doing a brake and stud upgrade. the original fronts are drum and i am in the process of aquiring some ke70 gear. to my understanding the whole assembly (wheel hub, rotor, ke11 bearings) bolts straight up to my original stub axle, is this the case or is there a difference in bearing sizes? and the caliper should bolt up if i get my hands on a ke55 backing plate with a m10x1.25 hole tapped into it, true?
just need some reassuance as the last thing i want is to get everything off and find out i'm missing something
also planning n attacking the stud pattern on the back end. i've got an original jap diff (banjo) and from what i've researched all i need is some ke30 axles (4x114.3) out of the same make (banjo), and these also need to be shortened, to stop them hitting in the middle. just wondering if this can be overcome by making a spacer between the axle housing and axle end cap. or would this be overkill and probly just result in scrubbing on the inner gaurd? and does anyone know by how much each axle needs to be shortened by?
any help or info on a better way to go about this would be greatly appreciated
cheers
matt
