Cable Fuel/boot Release

[Dropz]

ok I'm trying to mount the cable boot and fuel release in my ke70 cs.

 

i need photos of:

-the fuel release from inside the fuel flap

-the fuel release from inside the boot

-the levers by the drivers seat from underneath the carpet

-and if its not too hard, where they run down the drivers side floorpan, behind the seats, and in the boot. *this isnt as important though*

 

cheers.

So are the photos going to be from an AE71? What normally has the boot and fuel releases?

go to the wreckers and have a look before you take it out?

The XX KE70's had them as well as AE71.

I have installed the remote boot release into my KE70 CS, didnt do the fuel release as the cable was cut.

 

The levers will fit down to the right of the drivers seat. Its easiest if you take the seat out then lift the carpet. You'll need to find a bolt that fits the welded nut on the floorpan seat support thing. Slit the carpet to fit the levers through.

 

Run the cables down the side of the car under the carpet, you should find a couple of zinc plated clips up the inner wheel arch.

Run the boot cable into the boot obviously, and connect it to the latch. Will fit straight up to your latch.

I got it from a guy off here, it was already out.

cool, thanks.

 

 

 

my biggest issue is the fuel release really. the mechanism doesnt seem to have any mounting points and since it looks as if it attaches to the skin of the car I'm unsure of how to do it. unless there are mounting points grafted to the ae71/ ke70 xx bodys where it mounts. also i don't know what parts of the current fuel flap catch need to be cut off for this too fit and operate correctly.

Yeah no idea about the fuel release, but I'd say it just fits straight in with no mods.

KE70's were all built the same to save costs, and had bits added as extras, so that any car could be optioned up easily

 

Although, I think I see what you're saying... with the lock/catch etc on the fuel flap

Take a photo of the fuel release?

I prefer makin a boop boop sound when i open mine with a key. :wink:

[KENut]

^ LOL same. boop boop, and piiissssccch as the doors open. Brap brap brap brrrraaaaaappppppppp tttssssscchhhuuu

[Dropz]

it needs mods to fit as it mounts inside the boot, but obviously opens the fuel flap lol.

 

the current catch seems to be spot welded in place, so ill need to grind it off and drill a hole i assume, just want to be 100% with it before i start cutting stuff off and making holes.
