    Default 86 pedal box into ke70

    Hey guys, has anybody modified an 86 pedal box to fit a ke70?

    ive got one coming for mine and i could do with some advice for fitting it in.
    if it doesn't want to fit im gonna make it fit regardless because i still think it'll be easier than modifying my old ke70 set...

    I probably could've sorced an AE71 box but im too impatient for that so i went with the 86 option

    If there is enough interest i will post up my progress and try and help others who journey down the same path

    Thanks guys...

    wont fit without some mods. Bit of work needed to make it fit really. you'll need a welder and some bits of steel to make a bracket.

    easier to make a T18 one fit. or even less work to mod the KE one to suit a Hydraulic master

    ive done it. if you have a mig and some steel, its not that hard. just take your time getting the placement right.



    there it is.

    I've just swapped a manual KE70 into my auto. A bit of a mission getting them in and out..

    Why the AE86 pedals?

    because if you want to use a 4age with a t50 for example, you will need a hydraulic clutch set up.

    ke70 is cable. ae71 is hydraulic, but rare and expensive.

    this photo

    shows the difference in pedal boxes. you might need to hack it up a bit to make room for the 86 pedal.

    Ah- I see. There is an '84 AE71 at the wreckers here in Orange with a clutch cyl & pedal box in... $90 plus pstage would buy it, not sure if that's expensive or not.
