Need help with some 1980 brat parts

 

I need the alternator and water pump belt without ac and front shocks. The belt i ordered on rock auto didnt fit correctly and there arent any front shocks on rockauto. Any help is appreciated thanks.

if you happen to find anywhere that sells tail light assemblys for the 80's brat lemme know

I know rick auto has individual tail lights but not sure about an assembly. That site didnt have the front socks either are they maybe the same as the rear ones.

I recommend calling your local auto parts store and getting part numbers from their database. They should have more accurate information for you. Also, if you measure the approximate length of the belt using some rope, they may be able to get you close. Also, they may be able to find you at least a part number for the struts, although I seriously doubt you'll find any, as even second Gen (EA81) cars you almost can't find suspension pieces for any more.

As for the taillight assemblies, you'll have to ask around for any new old stock or used ones, as Subaru and everyone else stopped making those a long time ago.

 

And the front struts are different from the rear shocks. The front suspension is a McPherson strut setup while the rear is a torsion bar design.

 

Posting in the WTB section may net you something as well as perusing ebay and CL.
