Dear Flow, I am the head adjuster for your insurance company and have just printed your tell-all account. Please expect a check for $2.95, the price of a can of Krylon. Yes, that's right. We're springing for the best for you. Enjoy. (Be careful what you write in a public forum).

Depends on how long it's been.

read the post, it says "5 pugs and a set of lugs for free."

A retro Baja - kind of like The Beatles were Paul McCartney's first group. Those rides are beyond comparison. I hope they have some big insurance policies on them. Would hate to be reading about them like the thread of a few months back where there was a nasty, prolonged fight with an insurance companyover the "true" value of a brat.

Check the archives or do a search on this topic. There has been extensive verbage written on this that you will find very helpful instead of waiting for everyone to reply. Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Sounds like I can use the ones that Snowman may have.

Archemetis, tell me more. Are they just pressure fit by the wheel holding them in place? This is my first set of w/w's. I'm a newbie in this area.

Oops, forgot. 1983 Brat - ea81. Clear cup? right now, the spindle nut with the cotter pin is sticking out of the (roughly) 3" hole in the center of the wagon wheel. My wheels feel naked, and I'm a bit concerned about slat/rust from the roads here this winter. Ideas appreciated.

Just put some studded snows on the brat (no snow yet, just some heavy frost). Using some wagon wheels I got in the deal, but the center hubs are uglier than sin. Looking for suggestions for center hub covers on the wagon wheels. Thanks.

Schucks Auto. The closest one to you is on Debarr over by Costco. Either that one or on Muldoon a bit south of Fred Meyers. Did you cross the bridge at Buffalo Mine or continue past the parking area and across the river?

The herculiner rebate is good for 3 more days, but I think a quartwill probably do your job. But a quart is half the price of an entire gallon. Decisions. Where did you go bogging on Sunday? Saw you coming back into town sporting fresh mud.

AK-Brando,greetings. Good to see another Alaskan. Sorry you couldn't get together with us the other day. It was a good time. If you get to town, let us know - we'll put together another meet and greet.

You're right, that looks like a pretty sweet ride (from here). The rule of thumb I'd use is: if you can make it go before it turns to rust, keep it. Otherwise, the parts could be better used in circulation - either in your ride(s), or for sale to others on the board. Good luck either way. And welcome to the board.

If it's really good video, how about burning a copy and sending it off to interested parties. I, for one, would pay for shipping and costs to see video of board members ripping it up in their rigs. Wish I lived closer, but ... naw, it wouldn't be Alaska. Guess I just have to sacrifice some things.

Snowman, just waiting on a call from Jonathan to set the place. If I don't hear from him by Fri, I'll send you a pm with my phone number and link up with you on Sat.

If I wanted to find out which weber carb would be right for my 83 Brat (1800) - non turbo, apparently - where would I look? Do any of you guys know what model is best?

Jonathan, I can pick you up, we can come to your place, we could meet at mine, go to Anchorage to meet with Kelly... doesn't matter to me. Name it, we'll work around your situation. We're mobile.

Jonathan, check the other post

Drop us a location and/or directions. It looks like Saturday around noon will work.

Jon, check your PM.

check the meet and greet forum

Matt 83 Brat 92 Legacy sw 96 legacy sw all daily drivers Meet anytime after 3:30 P.M. Does anyone know what happened to a guy named spiderxo (old board name)? He lives in Wasilla. Haven't seen his name; maybe he changed it when the board changed.

Snowman, PM me with the details of your Weber - where did you get it, how much did it cost, how dofficult was it to install, and most importantly - is it a kick a-- running machine now? Also, let's plan a meet and greet. I posted a notice in the meet and greet forum, but no responses. yet. I think Jon in Eagle River must be out of town. Thanks

Been trying to get a meet and greet together in Alaska - there must be more than the three I know of - so I thought I'd try here. The PM route isn't working. If interested, let's set up a time and date.

Buy it, insure it, and put the roadside assistance portion of the insurance on it. If it breaks down on the way back, have it towed to your house on the insurance company's dime, then cancel the roadside insurance once you get it home.
