[Want to have front and rear bumpers made]

Hi,

Anyone have any ideas on having round tube bumpers made to put on the front and back of my 86 Brat?

What size and what gauge to use? Can I buy anything at the Home improvement stores and use my MIG welder to fabricate.

Same questions for fabricating a grill guard for use with a winch?

 

thank you,

Mike

[Gen 2 Brat roll bar]

Hi J,

I have one on my back porch that came unmounted when I bought my first Brat earlier this year. It is the low profile one.

I will get the measurements and try to take pics and post sometime tomorrow. (SATURDAY)

I would like the someone to do the same for the front pushbar I want to have fabricated.

[where is the fuel pump on a 1986 Brat?]

Hi, I do not have my repair manuals with me.

 

1.) Can someone tell me where the fuel pump, fuel filters (2) fuel relay switch are located?

Is anything inside the gas tank?

I just bought a new tank and have yet to install it. I want to put in new components. Any tips or suggestions are ALWAYS more than welcomed.

 

2.)My fuel gauge does not work. Where do I start on troubleshooting it?

 

3.) There is a push in toogle switch that has a light on the pointed tip. It lights up when you push it in with the headlights on. Could this be for the aftermarket (?) fog lights mounted below the bumper? They may have burned out bulbs since they do not work. The switch is located in the bottom left of the dash panel under the fuel gauge to the left of the steering coloum.

 

4.) Also the headlights do not come on unless the key is in the ignition and turned to the on position. Is this normal?

 

I thank you,

Mike
