Jordan_L Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Discussion thread for my MS75. Does anyone know what these front seats are from? Looks like they've been added at a later date. Quote
Jordan_L Posted December 26, 2019 Author Posted December 26, 2019 Does anyone have any contacts for brake parts? Its seemingly got no brakes at all, and having been sat so long it would be reassuring to replace everything if they're available on the shelf. Quote

Are they the same as NZ spec? Quote
kyteler Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 I believe a lot of the Crown chassis stuff can be switched and swapped and upgraded from the later models. Not 100% on that though but @sheepers, @Spencer (and a few other people) will know. Quote
Jordan_L Posted December 31, 2019 Author Posted December 31, 2019 Does anybody know what this 330 badge relates to on the bootlid? Unsure if this is original or not.. Quote
sheepers Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 guday Jordan ive never seen a badge like that before, was it on the boot of on the fuel filler flap? as far as brakes go, what parts are you missing? i have some parts i could send you but might cost a fortune to send. you can buy lots of parts out of australia, they assembled and sold MS65s there so they still have a few bits and pieces. mainly suspension bushes is what they have. Super Pro do every suspension bush except the front inner lower control arm bushings. and i have no idea what those seats are from but i reckon they'll be more comfortable than the original ones. 1 Quote
Jordan_L Posted January 5, 2020 Author Posted January 5, 2020 @sheepers - the badge is on the fuel cap - strangely there are no other badges on the rear, just the 330 badge. Can anyone advise on what badge should be there (and has anyone got one for sale In terms of brakes, ive not stripped them yet but I'm presuming they will need full rebuild kits all round due to the time its sat.

sheepers Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I'll take a pic of the fuel filter badge, it's very similar to the pic you posted just without the 330 round bit. Also if all you need is seal kits then you should be able to match something up, they are just generic sized, nothing special Quote
Jordan_L Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 Does anyone know of alternatives to Superpro for bushes before I spend way more cash than planned? Quote
sheepers Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Nolithane makes some of the bushes but they'll be pretty much the same price. The super pro bushes are good, they're pricey but they work. Quote
Jordan_L Posted February 8, 2020 Author Posted February 8, 2020 Took the plunge and ordered a full set of superpro bushes, also sourced replacement front seats and a new engine/box. Enough to be going at for now.. 2 Quote
Jordan_L Posted February 14, 2020 Author Posted February 14, 2020 Once the engine is out, I want to make the most of the front end being off, and rust-treat the front half of the chassis - What do people recommend? in terms of primer and paint? Quote
Jordan_L Posted February 15, 2020 Author Posted February 15, 2020 Got the engine turning today - looks like the torque converter was the cause of the issues - anyone had this before? Quote

sheepers Posted March 9, 2020 Posted March 9, 2020 Yea that's the only one I haven't been able to get. Please let me know if you find them. Quote

Please let me know if you find them. @sheepers someone on the facebook groups provided the below info - Part # 48654-30010 was the part number for the lower control arm for the MS75. This was superseded to 48654-30020. In date & production order, the part fitted the following Crowns: RS, MS5# 9/67 > 1/71; RS60, MS6#, MS75 2/71 > 9/74; RS80, MS8#, MS95 10/74 > 8/79; RS110, MS11#, LS110 9/79 > 7/83; YS120, MS12#, LS120 8/83 > 8/87. Superpro stock the 30020 under SPFK1129K - measurements below. Will check at weekend if it looks like it will fit. 2 Quote
Jordan_L Posted April 1, 2020 Author Posted April 1, 2020 Our Superpro contact in the UK has closed due to Covid-19, of anyone has a contact for the bushes discussed above, or has any for sale, it would be apprecoated Quote
