Gavclassic Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 This is my wifes KE17 that she thought she was going to sell but after i got it out gave it a little clean and had it prepared to be freighted to SA to the new very worthy owner ( sorry Jai ) she changed her mind. Whilst the car was tucked away in the shed the decision to sell was easy but after having it sitting in the carport and going for a drive any chance of it being sold was gone ( for now anyway ). Hard to believe after 10 years in storage just rebuilding the front calipers, a new battery and cleaning out the carbys and we're away again. Quote
parrot Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Assuming you have the original calipers, would be keen to know where you got your caliper seals from? Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 ^^^ I take it he bought KE2X rebuild kits. Same caliper... Quote
67Rolla-Ken Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 Where did you get a KE20 rebuild kit?? I took my KE20 calipers to Perth Brake parts and they told me they couldn't get new seals for them! Quote
camerondownunder88 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 I went to super cheap took 2 days to come in. I got the $78 kit think it was had new pistons in it also :lol: Try them there a rip off but hey they have them (got them back in June this year so should still be able to get them) Cheers Cameron Quote
parrot Posted December 21, 2009 Report Posted December 21, 2009 I had been thinking of taking a punt on KE20 seals, but after seeing this, went and bought some of a Canadian guy for $USD6.25 each. No pistons though, just the seals and the wire ring. His ebay user name is Joefriction and he didn't even charge me postage. Quote
