I got it shipped from washington state to California for that about 6 months ago.
Nothing new to me .... but the $17 sure is !!!
Across the country for $17 ? -
You should be able to ship the Y-pipe easily through UPS. I had one shipped to me for only $17.00. All you need to do is wrap up the ends with some cardboard and tape. They will ship it just like that
You mean the Y-pipe up front , right? I've got one with the pipe-to-head flanges turned 90 deg. if you're interested. Would be a bear to ship but could be done for probably under $40. I'd like to get $150 for the pipe since its getting super hard to find and still has plenty of life left in it.With the flanges turned you get to use the holes that were never used previously so that's a plus. But the inner studs are dang close to the engine mounts and need to be carefully inserted ,possibly with the engine slightly lifted. Or maybe need to keep the mounts loose untill the Y-pipe is on. The stud itself will clear , but the nut hits the mount with the engine seated inplace. I was just about to go thru all that when I decided to stick with my original pipe and just Helicoil the old holes. This pipe also has the "stove pipe" on the passenger side which your carb warmer tubing goes onto.
"ctsuba" might have a 1600 Y-pipe to offer as well. He's also in CT

It's coming along. Really need to find a parts Brat for it. Basically I need to find something with a better interior. And need to get my windshield gasket changed out before the rainy season gets here.
-
I bought 2 sets from a place that carried obsolete parts and I got their last set of KYB shocks last December. Did not keep the part number though.
Say I want to get a set of basic rear shocks to replace the originals. What KYB shocks would I buy for my 79 brat???? -
That would be it. Somebody on here probably has a picture for you for reference if needed.
They don't have a bracket connection, just the circle connection on the bottom and the top of the strut on the top, right? -
No, It is still the same on the gen 1 wagons too. I put a set of Kyb's on my 76 wagon and they were exactly the same as the ones on my 78 Brat.
-
I'll bet! Just like almost everything else for this thing it has to be a pain to find parts for it. Well, Sometimes. But it's worth it.
-
So what's the story here? I do not want to spend days on end looking for shocks for my 78 Brat. Do you guys just have a part number so I can go order some somewhere?
-
Those mirrors from the first picture I had are gone. I put them on my 76 wagon before I sold it.
-
Well I have the quad light setup so mine might be a little different than yours. I just cleaned all the terminals on the fuse box with a wire brush. I pulled 1 fuse at a time and cleaned them. Worked for me. As for the rear shocks, I have not found any yet. I used to know a place that carried KYB shocks but I bought their last pair last december and they went into the 76 wagon that I had.

Thanks, The interior is bad. Could use replacing every piece of it. That's due to it's whole life spent in the mojave desert till I got it. Kept it from getting rusty though:lol:. Fixed the lights today too. Only had low beam headlights. Ended up only needing to clean the contacts on the fuse box to get all the lights working again. I can't wait to get my parts to fix the front end and find new front struts and rear shocks.
-
Update: Progress, It runs again. Needs the front end rebuilt before it can be driven and front axles replaced but it runs good with the new rebuilt engine in it.
-
This was from like 6 months ago. It now has a engine in it and it has enkeis on it. The interior is torn apart. The dash is sitting in the passengers seat. I need a new dash. Something that does not have holes cut in it would be nice. But it runs. Runs pretty good actually. Just rebuilt the carb on Monday. Needed to help that fresh rebuilt EA-71 to go down the road better.
-
Yes I know this is old but I need the part number for the grease seals that go over the wheel bearings. I think I have the numbers for everything else I need. And yes this is for another 78 Brat. Not the original one in this post.
-
I have to replace my front axles on my 78 Brat. While I am doing that I would think it would be a good time to replace the wheel bearings. I would like to replace them with original subaru parts. Anybody have the part numbers for them and the dust covers for the bearings. Also While I am in there any suggestions on anything else I should replace. If so I would like to stay with original parts so part numbers would be useful. I imagine at least ball joints and tie rod ends. Anything else? Thanks,
Richard

Getting closer to done. Going to be sweet when it's done!
-
I was going to but John decided to keep it. I don't blame him. Nice looking car.
-
I may be interested. Let me know if you still have it. Thanks,
Richard
-
Yeah I figured that out. So used to working on EA cars. You have to do that to get the rotors off. My Bad:o
-
I am trying to pull the front rotors off my 98 Forester. I need to know the size of the nut that is bolted on to the CV axle so I can go buy the right size. Anybody know? Thanks,
Richard
-
The original bolts are 12mm. That's what is in my 78 and 84 Brat.
-
I'm interested. A little late but interested.

Spring is almost here! Time to get back to work now!
79' BRAT dash help

There are 3 more under the dash in the front Maybe 4. Been a while since I had mine out. One on each end of the dash. Just look underneath on the kick panel sides and there is 1 on each side. There is 1 right next to the heater box on the drivers side. There may be one on the passenger side of the heater box but I don't think there is. After that just unplug your instrument cluster need to take off the bezel around the heater controls and unplug some other wires and undo your duct work and that is pretty much it. Pretty easy to do. Might want to drop your steering column, It is only held in by 1 bolt. You may be able to avoid that. Hope that helps.
