  1. It will come one again at 120K. Not sure about 180K, only at 174K at moment.
  2. If it is possible to get a good shipping rate to the US then I am game.
  3. Take a look on this site, http://www.wagneralt.com/ .Got to the catalog page, login per instructions, select electrical components from the left menu, then select pulleys under alternator. 2/3 down the page you will find a half pulley #W055-37. That is the pulley that was mounted on my XT6 alt by a local electrical shop (best I can tell from just eyeballing it). #W055-35 might also be a one piece that is useable. Someone call them and ask tech support, they are supposed to be very helpful. Haven't done it myself, have been too busy. As an aside, my XT6 alt just went belly up. Now I have to replace it.
  4. Can't imagine A Brat being prone to rollover. It has a nice wide stance and it's center of gravity is not high up. Just my opinion from driving my 86 Brat. Samuri's and Jeeps where the one I always heard about.
  5. That's the port for letting air from the Air Suction Valve (ASV) into the exhaust flow. Used in order to promote better converter function. There should be one on each side. MY 86 Brat has them.
  6. From what I've read in the past, the EA82 rotors are larger than the EA81. Will cause problems for the calipers. Do a search...might just involve swapping backing plates and calipers.
  7. If the price is right I would be interested in EA81 Motor mounts.
  8. The 50/50 mix is good for most driving environments. Extremely cold ones would go towards the 70/30 mix (antifreeze/water). In extremely hot environments, the opposite. Prestone markets a Tropical Blend premixed coolant for hot areas like the Carribean. It's 34% coolant to 66% water. Antifreeze/coolant does not transfer heat very well hence never use antifreeze/coolant by itself without mixing with water.
  9. Hehehe...I would venture that you would be popular here with non-board members also.
  10. According to my parts book, there IS a ring type gasket between the head and the adaptor/spacer for the metal line to the ASV. It is Subaru part #4221 7010. Hope this helps.
  11. Hi. Sorry if this is hijacking the thread but wanted to know what is the availability of body parts (sheetmetal) there in Israel? What general condition (i.e. Rust)?
  12. I have to agree with Archemitis. My 86 Brat has 174K on it with the original carb. Have never had a problem with the carb. That is one of the reasons I have hesitated putting on a Weber. Hope I didn't just jinx it.
  13. I would think maybe an intermittent vacumm leak, possibly from the throttle shaft. The throttle shaft bushings on Hitachi carbs do wear out and allow extra air to enter thus throwing off the mixture/idle. Only way to repair is a complete rebuild including rebushing the shaft. Have had the same experience with Hitachi carb on old Datsuns.
  14. From what I gather they are for the Air Suction Valves (ASV). Does one end of each connect to the air cleaner and the other to what look like a metal valves? The ASV is used to add oxygen to the exhaust stream before the Cat so that the Cat can work more efficiently. Do a search for ASV to learn more.
  15. That's is totally off the wall. I get my belts at a local NAPA here and have never had any problem. Just take in the old belts and let them measure them. They have a special tool for it (I know because I used to work parts counter way back in the day).
