wiring issues
I know the Gen I cars only have one fusible link up front where Caboobaru said. It's usually fine. Mine has been thru hell. What IS a tricky issue is there's a real tendency for these little glass fuses to go at the ends and look like they're fine when you merely LOOK at them. Take them off and tug on the ends and even lightly twist. You may be surprised. On my car it seems to be more the lower fuses for the headlights and such. 25 amp guys I'm pretty sure. Get a little mixed box of those - you'll want 15 and 25 for sure , only one 10 I think and that never seems to go. Check all your grounds like I'm overdue to do. Gotta be a good reason why my fusebox gets so hot sometimes.

74 DL sedan 1400 4speed to 1600 5speed swap
I'll offer to drive it if you let me bring my old Ducati. :burnout:I'm going to throw it together even if its not running it'll look damn close enough. I'd want that bike with me when I sleep ,though.

How to remove the ignition cylider?
I'll try to get my parts manual but I think it shows that as a unit and not exploded since you can't buy pieces .... I think. Wish I had the manual here. Otherwise I may have the answer on that spring with the steering column I have. I need to sleep now but will check later.

How to remove the ignition cylider?
I know in the office furniture and such they use a "core" key which when inserted pushes the tab in that locks it in place. Just a thought. Other brain boil was a tiny pin somewhere?? I can recall dismantling a Stage 1 ignition switch wanting the same as you but I occasionally still come across that switch in pieces , so I never bothered but must have held hope for a core exchange too. Locksmith here you come ?

Still trying to finalize. Could work good with the yard run in combo.

Northeast Boneyard Day
Next weekend looks out for me. Anybody want to pinpoint which yards we'd all like to hit and some starting point? And please, if anybody is close enough get us a report. I'm thinking Harry's is the anchor, wanna start there? Or you guys want to work this into the Carlisle weekend?

Someone with the parts manual can maybe look and see if that cylinder is even sold seperately. My FPM is not here right now. Leeroy?

Lost the clip for clutch cable, pedal end
Can I add to the confusion? Hey , I've got those clips , probably a bunch of guys do. When I'd part out my cars I'd save all those little clips ,etc. Let me know if you still need one and I'll look in my boxes of doo dads. I think that's pretty much the same size clip at that point from the 70's thru the early Legacy. Anybody else?

How to remove the ignition cylider?
I've got an entire steering column with a good ignition switch with key if you need one. Looks like you do. I could remove the housing piece from the column to make life easier. You'd get the switch in the housing , ready to bolt in and plug in. Switch had rust on the cover but those are easily removed for a steel wool rub , or even find replacement I've seen on eBay. The switch turns well and is not sloppy. Its one of the items I have at the front of my storage , ready to ship quick. Contact me if interested.

Body part match up?
For your Brat the 2door car doors work and are an improvement for safety given the side impact rail within the door that does not exist in your Brat's. Makes the door more heavy , not sure if hinges are different. Glass must be from the Brat. Front valance is shared only with the 4WD wagon Windshields are the same all cars except the Coupe has "longer" corners up top. Seats , dashboard ,etc. all about the same except only the Brat and 4WD have the "4WD" in the cluster. GF model has tachometer , as do some GL's - grab the disty too. Enjoy! Sorry we neglected your post.

Carlisle Import Show - East Coast - National event - All Years welcome
Tim , second line of first post. :-p All - I am pretty sure they are talking about gates being open for general admission and participants. Pretty sure there's one gate open all night with the watchman present. If you're late its no big deal because its a National event so they must anticipate a few stragglers..... like us.

WINDSHIELD GASKET ORDER **MAIN THREAD** Update 4/29/12 We're GOOD to go!
Keep in mind we were told the mold was going to be destroyed back when we did the group order , so don't get too excited. I do still have the contact and sales rep.'s name etc. Last time we needed a minimum order of ??? 25 or 50 pieces - whatever it was..... but it wasn't any less than 25 I'm dead sure of that. Line forms here. Please indicate your quantity. Many folks have more than one vintage Subaru sedan , hardtop , or wagon from '72-79 or Gen I BRATs. ****Coupes are slightly different but the corners can be "worked" into the coupe shape , I've been told. That's right - the same gasket fits '72 -79 sedan , wagon , and hardtop perfectly and Gen I BRAT too. The Coupe requires a little stretching but can work. Edit, check page 4 for update. Waiting from sales rep. 4/12/12 ......

Thanks everyone for being patient. I have only one new windshield gasket I'm willing to sell but many people seem to be looking for them. We might need another group buy if that is at all possible - but keep in mind we were told at that time that they would be detroying the mold. Out front of storage - easy to get to - are most of my wheels. The curved spoke white Jackmans are in boxes ready to go ! More parts are also relatively easy to get out now. If you see it in my Gallery in the first page or so that means the part is really close to the front and easy to get going. Thanks for looking. As always just keep after me but be patient. I have a family and am NOT a business. Cheers! Paul

Unusual 4x140 Wheel?
Real live vintage Magnesium painted? Maybe blacken the the inner loop and slotted hole sidewalls , like they were originally. Like she said , they're yours to play with but to most of us you'd be doing an injustice. Have fun , they sure are rare.
