Ke20/25 Front Brakes

[ke70pussywagon]

hey all, just of the top of all your heads front brakes on a ke20/25 drum or disk? :o

[coln72]

Either - have seen KE20's with front drums

[Redwarf]

however, all 25's came with discs.

My stock as a rock KE25 came with drums on all corners, so i think it's safe to assume the KE20 and 25 could have either.

 

It's easy to do a basic brake upgrade on them anyway and a good brake upgrade with a little bit more work if you need it!

hey YLD-TOY , what brakes are you running on your beast?

[YLD-TOY]

Lindsay, mine is a pretty basic (but adequate) setup, on the front I run KE55 hubs with peugeot vented rotors and AW11 MR2 calipers. The rear is using commodore drums (couldn't go for a disc setup with my current wheel offset unfortunately).

 

This is good enough for full sessions on the track at Wakefield with no brake fade and ok lap times.

 

I am building a front brake setup at the moment for a KE36 and if it works out as well as it's looking I will probably do the same on mine :P

Interesting. AFAIK 25's all had discs with Akebono calipers. My 25 is an extremely early one, and it had discs. Must be an odd ball. What year is yours?

I thought it was odd too, my KE20 had discs on the front and it was a 1973 model (same as my KE25). With the drums all round she never did stop too well :P

 

Toyota does some strange things at times though :P

[Rolla__Boy]

I might drop in some time soon, and quizz you some more about the brakes on your car Shane, I need new discs etc on the front of the KE30.

[YLD-TOY]

No worries Geoff, if the garage is open stick your head in and have a chat.

 

I think you might be interested in the brake setup I'm building for the KE36, it would be a bolt in for your car too :P It all looks good so far but I won't make any claims until it's on the car and tested. :P

[Rolla__Boy]

Feel free to test it on my car :P hehe

cheers YLD-TOY , sounds pretty good i'm chuckin the 4age in a coupla weeks , and i'll need to do something like that ,

i don't have a welder so is there much fabrication work involved in your setup , the new or old one ?

My current setup required no welding, the only parts that required work were the:

 

- Caliper mount from an RA23 was fitted to my KE25 strut (some measurements and a drill press is all that's required)

 

- a spigot ring had to be made to make the disc hub-centric (a machined steel ring)

 

- the disc had 3mm machined off its diameter.

 

The new setup I am making at the moment requires no fabrication and appear to be a bolt on fitment for KE30 -> KE55.

Would it be possible for you to post or email me some photos of your setup?

What model Peugeot were the discs from?

What size wheels do you need to run to clear the peugeot disc?

 

Cheers, Ian
