new brat.. new projects
I hope to have all of this done on the brat by next week.. we will see Jacobs ign. system. I bought this thing 9 years ago and it never saw the light of day. I bought it for my 383 48 chevy truck which will take another 9 years to get done soo hell... I might as well put it on the brat. Can you belive I paid over 500 dollars for this thing back in the day.. Next is the rebuilt soobby special weber package from Jerry with anti dieseling noid and a few other goodies Next 100 amp alt You notice in the above pic the intake is missing. Yep the guy helping me snaped the bolt on the intake for the carb mount. He is at his shop working on getting it out. Isolator for a dual battery system. I am still working on moutning locations. Now some of the load that will be on the second battery Lights CB and a place to put more lights. It is getting its final coat of spray (thanks mic for the bar) LSD and SJR lift, Rancho shocks Not the best pic of the brat but it is stuck in the barn with two other tractors so there is not much room and my other two soobys The wagon I picked up from chef_Tim just a bit ago. The exhaust issue killed my other front axel but it I is a solid rig. It will be getting a new bumper and light bar on top. As well as a clone of Mics ignation system in his brat.

Alternator Swap GM plz lol
When do you see your self needing the extra power? If you need it when the motor is off then the extra battery is a good Idea just be aware that the stock alt was not realy made to charge two batteries. It will do it but read the write up about the install you realy dont have much amprage left after all the factory requirments are met. Dont forget to get a battery realy or Isolator, what ever your flavor is. I would get the alt first since it will meet pretty much what you want to do as long as the motor is running. Dont forget fuseable links!!

Alternator Swap GM plz lol
I did this, this week on my brat. My alt bracket was not the same as the write up so it did not fit very easy it kept hitting the alt body but I loosend up the bolt that the bracket bolted to the motor and it gave just enough slack. (I dont know how kosher this is but it is a pretty solid mount, I might exted the bracket a bit later to mount it right.) I was how ever able to get it to work and even used the stock belt. We will see how it holds up. The down side for me in order to swap the belt out if it brakes I will have to remove alot more bolts then just the adjustment bracket bolt. Is it worth it.. Well if you plan to do any add ons such as lights or winch or audio system I say yes and for the price you are getting the Alt, you can not beat it. I got mine 45 shipped off ebay.

motor mounts question
Just a quick FYI.. They were the right parts and are installed in the brat now. Now I have to replace the alt.. it is going bad. Good news is I have a 100amp in the mail on its way. Now I just got to see how it is going to clear the factory air cleaner.:-\ Or find a good priced WEBER. It turned out one of the mounts that bolt to the motor was missing a bolt. The motor actually sits diffrent now every thing is in tight. I could see how that would throw off the way it shifts but now all is well.

motor mounts question
It is a ea-81. I need to turn some renches on the brat. I have been having some one else do the work with the lift and the swap and I feel lost. I look forward to repalcing these and the clutch cable. Every one keeps talking about flages or mounting tabs. I wont know what they mean in till I get under neith it and start looking my self.

motor mounts question
Trany was done when the lift was put in. So that one should be good. car shift fine when cold but when it warms up to operating temp. First and second gear are grindy.

motor mounts question
So.. I only need the front ones (two of them) and there the same. Since I do have a manual tranny. Rock auto says they have them. Has guys been haveing a hard time getting them from them. Brian I will probbably be sending you a pm.

motor mounts question
I have yet to look at it on my 85 brat so excuse me if I am missing something obvious. But I need some new motor mounts.. at least the issues I am having points to that problem. When you look on Rock Auto's web page they show one part number for the back one and one part number for the front one but in the front mount description it indicates a right and a left. So my question is, is there a different part number for the right and a different part number for the left or are they the same thing? And if they are do I just order two for the front and two for the back? I need to bust out my manuals but I hope these things are as easy to replace as I think they will be. Just a piece of wedge wood and some hand tools.

Blizzard Warning until noon, Winter Weather advisory until 6pm
I got white out pretty bad. It was the first time driving the new brat with a lift and bigger tires.. This car is way to light whith that wind and Ice beating me like a red headed step child. On the other hand the LSD did quite nice. It still scared the poop out of me. Every time I would slip I would end up side ways in the on comming traffic lane. Pluss the fact I need to clean the carb and it whent WOT on me twice.
