Rear Suspension Bushes

[Jono]

i got a whole set of new rubbers for my 1971 ke20,

problem is with the front rear leaf bushes, there seems to be a different leaf bracket on the early ke20's which is a bit smaller than the later ke20's. probably about 50mm diameter on the later ones and maybe 30-40mm on the earlier ones.

anyone know what year they changed over?

Good question to which I don't know the real answer to.

 

However, after some thought you can probably break it down into two options. The first is when the KE20 update came out, which I think was 73, or the fact that there were Aussie built 20's and jap built 20's. I like the first theory actually. I've always thought of them as early and late springs.

 

Anyone else??

yeah i figured it was changed with the "facelift" model.

anyone know the month of 1973 when they changed?

Also does anyone know when the emission laws came in. I believe my car is Australian built - at least it has the "This vehicle was manufactured by Australian Motor Industries LTD" plate.

My car is 10/1971 and only has 9 ADRs:

 

2: Side door latches and hinges

3: Seats and Seat Anchorages

4: Seatbelts

5A:

7: Hydraulic brake hoses

8: Safety glass

10A:

15: Window Demister (ceased to be in effect, 2005)

20:

 

 

Can't find any info on ADR's 5A, 10A or 20

 

 

The early and late ke20's have a few differences: i can't put late headlights into my early car using the same fixing holes etc.

5A is seat belt anchorage points

10A is steering columns

20 is saftey rims.
