    newly acquired BRAT from McBrat many ?'s and parts request

    in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's

    Posted · Edited by subiemech85
    forgot a line

    the A bar mounts using the engine crossmember bolts, andbolts to the bumper too.

     

    I think the glove box "strap" was removed for the AC install...

     

    the center vent issue may be fixed by looking at what the prev owner did when he put the switch in.

     

    I can show you how the jump seats mount in in a few weeks, when I get the reb brat back hopefully.

     

    does a gen2 trip meter knob work?

     

    ok

     

    that explains it

     

    how is it supposed to work?

     

    bolt in?

    this is going to be a preservation / restoration / period upgrades

     

    many ?'s and parts request

     

    looking for: topper, hitch, tan horn pad - willing to trade gray, rear ash tray - black - for parking brake cover, trip meter reset button

    is there a way to turn OFF the center vents so they do not blow cold ambient air in the chilly winter? while still using them for "hot" air?

    how do the rear seats mount?

     

    round air cleaner box... is yours equipped with NISSAN flap motor and plastic air temp sensor controller?

    what is the metal box that looks like a relay under the driver seat for?

     

    is there an upgrade for the headlights, perhaps using h3 or similar bulbs?

    speedometer seems to be reading 10+ faster than actual with 165/13"

    what are you using for 13"?

     

    how to repair the cracked dash?

    is there supposed to be a strap for the glovebox door?

     

    reproduction carpet and vinyl for floor??

     

    wild idea: spfi intake boot for cone filter??

    carb top is round

     

    TURNING steeringwheel to full lock left, seems to want to suck itself in when almost all the way, is this normal? sure is convenient in parking lots and gas station

     

    how accurate is the fuel meter?

     

    seems more solid and rouger ride than gen 2 brat

     

    where does the A bar mount????

     

    more pics will be added once I buy a NIKON D60

    here's the formula:

    ea81 or ea82 engine, your choice

    4wd d/r 4 or 5 spd, your choice, 5spd is less problematic - and better power ranges, just use matching driveshaft due to length differences - or go custom driveshaft with the 5spd d/r to avoid the hanger bearing

    ea81 or ea82 or xt6 flywheel

    ea82 or xt6 clutch kit

    datsun 510 or subaru LSD, try to steal one back from "the dark side"

    avoid the Vlsd for your intended purpose :burnout:

     

    requesting more pics of brat and topper, confirm build date and serial number!!!!!

    does it say A69L??

    AC pulley removal?

    adjusting spring tension should not make much difference when off boost!!
