Thanks mate
I went into all the usual car parts places today and apparently the pad I want is a DB10 and no one has them
AT ALL!
So the brake conversion is probably gonna be necessary
What do I need to get and do to make it work?

Heya Dane,
LOL, i just so happen to have a brand new set of
"Ferodo Excel-Premium disc brake pads, DB10XL" (Asbestos free)
Very Happy

, asking price is $60..... (i got them a while ago when i was using those calipers) check the name on the caliper itself first tho, as there are two different calipers that it could be.

ummm, with the KE70 brakes, you will need 13" rims. steelies from something like RX early, 808, and other mazdas will do.

you can also use KE30 brakes, but i think the long thin brake pad and thicker disc of the KE70 is better.

since you are using your original KE20 hubs, it fits on the stub axle.

what you need is:
KE70 brake disc (which bolts to your existing hub)
KE70 caliper, brake pads, and brake lines from caliper to strut.
KE70 backing plate, which connects the caliper to the strut.
ummm, i think thats it... you can use KE30 parts as well, but they have squarer pad and thinner disc (10mm vs 12mm)

basically unbolt your KE20 discs from your hubs. get new bearings put in while they are off Wink

. unbolt KE20 calipers and backing plate.

bolt on KE70 backing plate, bolt KE70 disc to KE20 hub, put hub back on stub axle. bolt on KE70 caliper. hook up brake lines and bleed brakes.

you can email me at stewie@unsw.edu.au
btw, where are you located?
Cya, Stewart
