Welcome to the group. Lots of great knowledge here.

Keep up the good work. I will be starting on getting mine road worthy this Winter.

I have an 82 in Georgia.

Lack of replacement body parts. Come on, its only 33 years old.

Thank you ihscout. Now I can connect everything properly.

I am looking for a diagram that illustrates what hose goes where. When I bought my Brat, the fuel line was connected to the bottom of the tank. I found out this is the drain plug from a previous post. I need to know where I should hook up the fuel supply to. Is a factory shop manual available for an 82 Brat?

That's funny.

Thanks for the help. Someone in the past used this as the source for fuel. I will look at it sometime today and figure what the correct location is. There are no threads on the present location. Is there a diagram that illustrates what fittings are for?

I need help finding a part for my 82 Brat. I am looking for the fitting on the bottom of the tank that you attach the gas line to. There was one on there that I do not believe was stock. I attempted to seal it with a fuel resistant RTV but it started leaking within a few weeks. The one that is in there now is made of plastic. Any ideas?

I put Escort seats in my 82. Very easy to do.

I can't wait to get mine back on the road. My first was an 85 turbo I bought in 1995 in Phoenix. That Brat took me through a lot of the dessert.

Hey guys. I have been off of the forum for a long time. Bought a new house and put the Brat in the basement. I am finally getting back to it. The problem I have is a leak at the "elbow" at the bottom of the tank where the fuel hose connects. I tried a fuel resistant sealer but that only lasted 2 weeks. Is there an actual replacement part? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx everyone. The last ones I purchased were at the park and swap out in Phoenix when I was stationed there. Now that I am back on the east coast, I was just wondering who to buy from.

Who makes a good dash mat for an 82 Brat? My dash is too far gone to restore. I want to cover the ugly thing with something.

Sr, my hat is off to you. Incredible work. I am doing the same thing, but my Brat is not as bad as yours. I owned one 25 years ago and hopefully mine will look as nice as yours next Spring. You are an inspiration. I could buy a new whatever, but elected to relive my youth in an old 82 Brat.
