Gen one Brat Fuel pump location.
moosens replied to 80BratGage's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Kind of working in reverse , have you yet tried to jump the fuel pump with a couple of leads from the battery ? Check the archives ? I know that gets annoying so I understand if you didn’t strike gold if you did. From horrible memory I want to say 3psi is fine. Not sure you’d require a significantly more powerful pump with a stock Hitachi. -
Camera time ? Get one of those cheapie harbor fright versions if nobody gives a great answer. I sure don’t have one at this time. If you’re going at this seriously I want to suggest taking the tank out. While out go over the body/bed and all you can. Mark your lines , take pics of it all.
-
No but depending on which line there may be an anti-roll system installed like the 4WD wagons. At work but I’ll try to help from the manual later. Nothing in the tank like later models. Just the obvious meter/float.
-
I hope you meant ozium and not ozone. VT car ? Semi- Trashed - sorry to be negative but what you mention about Pittsburgh cars you should multiply that for VT. Plenty of friend in VT and when they come down here they have rust on 5 year old cars. I completely understand about making the most of what you’ve got. I live and will likely die by being a user of aged Subarus. And I live in New England. So these type of vehicles have come and gone. Use it and dispose of it before dumping tons of money into it , because there’s always more coming down the pike. Best of luck with it.

What is my '84 GL with 25K miles worth?
moosens replied to Double D's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Those seats look like GL-10 $4k opening bid , or maybe low opening but $4k reserve.Just my opinion BAT seems to draw the more serious buyer. You’ll do well. Enjoy ! -
Looks nice! From here that looks like an uncracked dashboard. If so you want to baby it.
-
My parts manual does not show the drain plug. If it does and I’m not seeing it , they still don’t list any size within the Part Name column where sizes are always shown when applicable.

Fuel tank Drain plug/bolt .
moosens replied to 80BratGage's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Yeah I just tried too and got frustrated very quickly. Hang in there. Simple enough info. My guess would be that it’s the same size as something like the crank pulley bolt or a suspension bolt. In case you want to try to remove one and see if it’s the same size. Then you can walk into the nut n bolt shop with confidence. -
Dammit , I forgot again and I even looked right at my pile of manuals. Sorry about that. But it seems you’re commanding the situation. Suggesting that you look in all corners of the interior. Maybe that guy tucked it away. And after that I will try to put my brain on when I get home and check the manual.

Replacing Door Handles Gen1 ‘81 Brat

Spring hooks can be handy here. Long needle nose or duckbill pliers and a rubber band to help keep pliers closed while you free up a hand. Just foggy memories but getting that plastic retainer hooked up right that’s where the spring hook used to really help. -
Fuel tank Drain plug/bolt .

Sorry I forgot to check. Will do in the morning or shortly after. You might be able to beat me to it. I think there’s online pdf. file of the older parts manuals. -

So you don’t have one at all ? When I get to my manuals I will check to see if they declare the size and thread pitch. -

It’s ok you’ll be fine. Nothing falls apart. -
38 hours , oh man. Well if you do please wait for warm weather. There’s been a good number of guys selling old 70’s parts so shop around. I don’t mind selling part but right now it’s too cold for me to make time at my storage.

Being serious now , and I tell this to other like yourself , put the ad in Craigslist NYC , Boston , Philly too. Nostalgia sales happen there now. Most of the rest of the country won’t spend the fat money on it right now. But the fat wealth doesn’t get affected , you know that. So market it in the FAT markets. They’re very few these days. But always NYC and in this case I would try to cover the New England area and then also the Philly area because SOA headquarters have always been right over the river from there. Best of luck with it. Yeah , start at $2500 or so. Take advantage. Just naturally sell “as is”. Cheers! -

Yeah , some Long Island Princess might say “hey hubby snag me that old Subaru or I start screwing your accountant”. ok that’s maybe an extreme , not so much if you live near NYC -
Service Manual question?
moosens replied to Checkerboard Comet's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Looks like one to keep around. No difference from the later of the same class , they just made them all Loyale while the new line emerged. So bumpers are exact other than lighting arrangements, little trim. You found out they mount with zero difficulty I’m sure. -
Yeeehaaa ! Nice effort!

Tonneau cover for brat???
moosens replied to 73mako's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Holy grail type of item. I think the last person I recall having one was maybe Mick. Try posting this on the face dook groups. Not my favorite place to hang out but I know Mick checks in there lots more than here. -

Patience. It’ll be better soon. From my memory you can get it without removing the glass. Keep your crank handy. But if you just can’t and do want it remove the glass it’s not that hard. Rather than fumble through instructions just use your 10mm socket and find the mounting spots. Then lift the glass and as I recall tipping it back up/nose down seems to ease the clearance needed. Many of us have done it and we are no more a mechanic than you. -
Hey it’s me from eBay - cashingmystuffin , aka Paul. As mentioned come warmer weather I’ll dig out all I have. Meanwhile I did leave some close to the front of my storage so I’ll try to yank out what I can and hopefully they apply to your ride. Keep looking , you’re doing the right thing. I do have KYB’s and there’s a couple others from back in the day before the aftermarket stuff became mostly crap. Talk to you soon.

You could use either , best suited to what you do and where you’re located. But the 180 is fine enough. Some folks get a little antsy when their old 70’s Subaru sits in traffic and the temp goes up kind of fast. But that’s usually the fan.
