Ke10/11 Strut Tops

[Mr_1200]

Hey guys,

 

I know its a long shot but would anyone here have made a set of adjustable strut tops for their ke10/11 rollas? If so does anyone have any cad files or plans however rough they may be? Pics would also be useful.

 

Also plans for a home made adjustable strut brace would also go down well! or pics etc

 

If not i guess ill be undertaking this myself and when done ill post the plans etc.

 

cheers

I believe Stewart Ford did adjustable tops on his sprinter??

you may have to get searching through the yahoo groups oldcorollas files.

here is link: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/oldcorollas/

 

failing that maybe contact stew himself, he's on toymods a bit.

he'll come under the name 'oldcorollas'

 

Scott.

EDIT - click Suspension on the left side of the page, then use the dropdown to Adjustable strut tops. Theres a drawing as well.

thanks for the info fellas!

[philbey]

mate, I'm gathering you are looking at making some up?

 

if you do go about it, let us know, i'll buy a set for sure.

 

EDIT - I just looked at that drawing, and I could have that in solidworks or DXF format tomorrow night. I think I will email that to a laser cutter bloke I know as well and see how much it will cost me.....

 

EDIT AGAIN - Damn, Stewarts drawing doesnt have the PCD, and I don't have my car on me. have to wait.....

yeah ill be making some when i get the time. My subaru has the motor and box out at the moment and it seems to be taking up most of my time! So it may be a while to begin the strut tops but ill get there sooner or later...

You can use strut tops made for KE2x/TE2x you will have to oval out the holes a bit, the spacing is a few mm larger.

Good to hear from a Canuck enthusiast.

Where would we get the KE20 ones you mentioned?

Thanks,
