    Default Ke30 diff and brake upgrade

    hey guys i have some pics of my commo diff conversion and commo front brakes conversion, i realized after i had put the wheels on that i didnt take a photo with the calipers on. And if someone could help me with hosting these pics it would be great. I'm using my brothers account and im kind of new to this hosting thing. and if any one has any question just ask.

    cheers

    ps i;ll be on for a while tonight and if someone could get the pics up tonight it would be great.

    Got any details on what you've done at the front end i.e.

    Did you fit the Commode hubs to the KExx struts? If so what bearings did you use? What seal do you use on the back of the hubs to seal the bearings? What offset wheels fit this setup? etc etc.

    Looks like a good 5 bolt conversion but some more details would be nice to go with the pics

    the hubs had to be machined to fit ke30 bearings. The guy that did my machining made up sleeves to make the bearings fit. He did also make a seal for the bearings to be held in place. Everything about this conversion had to be machined and made up. I was lucky that i had a disk to copy of my mates ke30 who also done this upgrade. im not sure what wheels i will use, atm i have chasers on it so i can roll the car around. the machining cost me 500 but i really wanted to have commodore disk and i didnt want to pay 1200 for the hopper stopper brake kit.

    rears look to be standard commodore.
    from the first post appears to be front commodore calipers - which ones, the standard vb-bp ones, the vl turbo (or vn v8) or the twin piston vt? (tho your rotors have the studs already in them with the pressed in bearings so i suspect vn v8 or vl turbo)

    Id say either a 15/16th like the pajero NG one on the ke30 booster.(same as mine) or a commdore (15/16 or 1") one onto the ke55 booster.

    Sorry for digging up and old thread, but rather than make another one...

    How much did you have to get taken off the diff to get it to fit? Also what diff is it? VN BW unit?
