    Default Name this brake - ke25

    Hi, im trying to find out what kind of brakes these are (from original model?) so i can get some new seals for the calipers ordered. The guy at the spares shop has 3 different ones to choose from. The car is a 73' KE25 coupe deluxe as far as i know. The gregorys book i have doesnt really state where theyre from and i found the description in the supplement section.

    This is a photo without the pads, and the little protector plate. And has 2 small pin clips rather than the large anti rattle pins like the book has...

    Um if anyone has an idea....?
    Cheers

    You should be able to walk in with the build date, and model of your car and get them

    it was "cars plus".
    everywhere i go hasnt got anything for a 73 model. and he had 3 different kits for a ke55.
    maybe ill just get all 3 and retun the ones that dont fit.
    cant be 2 expensive?

    i know on lookin at one of the earlyer ke20's to my later one they had dif calibers but as far as i know they both still bolted on the same, you sould bealbe to take the hole thing into the brake shop and they will match some thing up

    but the ones in the pic almost look like the later ke20 one or even mos so like ke30 ones like what i just put on and there a lil bit bigger!!

    have a look on the caliper and see if you can find a name..

    i think you might havbe the rarer PBR ones..

    usualy, KE10 and 20 only had AKEBONO or PBR, but there is a very slim chance they could be the girlock/girling (i always forget which)

    Proper brake shop should be able to get the right seal for you if you dismantle it. They'll match it up.

    usually if the seals are still in okish condition they can match up part numbers anyways for the seals.
