Just call them, their web site is not the best....

PRP has Gen 1 Gaskets in stock, when I bought mine they said there were over 100 in stock. I bought one in May, it cost $50.10 and I received it in a couple of days, it looked nice and fresh. I have not installed it yet, hope to install it next week. Part Number is WCR-288 Precision Replacement Parts 800-367-8241 www.prp.com

Got lucky and found a NOS one on ebay, Shipped for $123.99 - Yea!!!

Before In Progress......

I have a 79 Brat. Recently bought Gabriel G55726 Ultra Struts for it, these are listed for 82-87 Brat. I have been told they will fit the Gen 1 just about 1 inch shorter in total length. Looking at themthis apears to be correct, I will report on the results when I get them installed. Chasing parts to rebuild the whole front end, so it may be a while. For rear shocks I bought Monroe 33097, they installed and fit fine. They fit a bunch of 80's fords including Mustang, so they are easy to find.

Yes, Let me know Subruise. Thanks

As the title says I need a back glass for my 79. Neighbor kids busted it out. Please let me know if you have one, need to ship to Texas, 76108 Thanks!! Forrest

I received the gasket a couple of days ago. Haven't installed it yet, but it looks perfect.

I found and ordered one from Precision Replacement Parts last week. Fitment is 78-81 Brat, Price $50.10, Part Number WCR 288 I should receive it in the net day or so, and will report on fit etc when I put it in. They said there were over 100 in stock.

I found these diagrams for the Gen 1 Brat: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/repairguides/Subaru-ff-1-1300-1400-1600-1800-Brat-1970-1984-Repair-Guide/Wiring-Diagrams/Wiring-Diagrams/_/P-0900c15280065bf4

Searching for parts for my 79, ran across an 83 that the on-line tool says showed up last week in this yard Pick-n-Pull - Sparks [More Information] 2205 Larkin Circle Sparks, NV 89431 US 775-359-4147

Got the Gabriel struts in, I will post info after the install. At first glance it looks like they will work. The first place I orderded them from returned my $ annd said they were out of stock. Looks like these may also be going obsolete soon. I ended up getting some off Amazon for under $100 for both shipped. I noticed the part number on the strut was different than the one on the box, I will pass on that info on also.

Looking for 79 Brat Parts: Back Glass - Slider or not Back Glass Gasket Windshield Gasket Rocker Chrome Molding Tail Light Lenses - Both Sides Please email direct to sanco@sancospecialties.com or text 940-594-7259 Thanks!!

Though the web site says in stock, they called me after I placed my order and said these are no longer available....

Just ordered one, shipping was very reasonable $21

OK, Thanks. I got an email back from them that said it fit a 79, but agree expect they don't know. Here is a link to the listing if anyone dares to order one and find out what it is. http://www.dkhardware.com/product-4940-wcr417-windshield-gasket-1980-1989-subaru-subaru-brat-fw653-chrome.html

From reading post, sounds like the windshields are different from Gen 1 to Gen 2 Brat. I found a gasket listed that says 80-89. Is there a difference between Gen 1 & Gen 2 gasket? Thanks, Forrest

Will do....

Any of you guys bought and installed one of these? Kids next door did me a favor and busted out my back glass, I wanted a slider anyway. If you bought one did it come with the rubber seal? http://www.dkhardware.com/ Thanks!

OK, Thanks, ordered some Gen 2's from autopartswarehouse.com, couldn't beat the deal, $75 shipped total for the pair. Part #: GABG55726 GABRIEL ULTRA SHOCK ABSORBERS AND STRUT ASSEMBLIES Gabriel Ultra Twin-tube Shock Absorbers and Strut Assemblies have 1 3/8" bore pistons (in most applications) and bonded iron structures safeguarding a long lasting durability. Th Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly Gabriel Qty: 2.00 Price: $ 37.93

Dirk, So sounds like the Gen 2 will bolt up and work fine, it will just sit a little lower. Great!

I found these listed for $89 each new - Listing says 82 Up. Are Gen 1 different? Anyone know a source? http://www.buyautoparts.com/autoparts/Subaru/Brat/Strut_Assembly.html Thanks!!

I am restoring a 79 Brat 4WD, man it is tough finding anything for these guys....Hoping you guys could help point me in the right direction: Windshield gasket Back Glass Gasket Rear CV Axles Front CV Axles Front Struts Tail Light Lens Any help is appreciated, Thanks Forrest sanco@sancospecialties.com
