drako66 Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 Can someone confirm whether or not the Gen2 Brats had different dashboards ? Mine is VERY badly cracked and decided to go and buy a dashboard cover. It seems I have a DL version and it doesnt appear to line up (seams and creases ) with my GL ????:-\ cheers David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just idiot lights for temp and oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 The DL dash on the Gen 2 Brats was indeed different than the GL's. It was more like the Gen 1's, and a dash cover for a GL wont really fit a DL dash, and vice versa. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 They are different: GL dash on top, DL Dash on bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one eye Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 GL = Grand luxury, tach , oil pressure, volts,T-Tops, D/R and a clock DL = Disapointing luxury, more dash board, No T-Tops a different steering wheel and a S/R Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just idiot lights for temp and oil. Sorry, too dark last night to get a good look at both Brats; just noted the difference in the instrument cluster.

84gl Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 My 82 GL has no ttops A center head light Vinal seats and a vinal floor mat no carpet and a sliding rear glass. Its set up like a STD hatch but with a GL dash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallwelder81 Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 yea, the whole dl/gl thing confuses me. my 83 brat has t-tops, dual range 4x4, the nicer style dash, and slider rear window. but it also has 2 headlights, not 4. i personally like the 2 headlights. to ME< it looks more truckish, less passenger car style.

84gl Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 see why its so confusing is there were (now I'm not saying this makes them rare or anything) factory special orders like Mine which was used on a ranch in CO. where they had six brats just alike white with blue vinyl intirer a vinyl floor no t tops a full gauge cluster with a factory winch bull bar and roll bar so' there were odd balls through in the mix but this is almost common in aussie and NZ so was the two head light setup which they keep through 94 and we only got in 82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
