August 5, 2025Aug 5 Tried using the hill holder on my 1985 Brat for the first time this year. It doesn't work, I was on a pretty steep uphill stop. Any suggestions?

August 5, 2025Aug 5 As subaru1988 says, they need adjusting... but they're often corroded to where the ball that senses you're on a hill can't roll freely, and thus don't work. I haven't tried rebuilding one.
August 6, 2025Aug 6 Your brats came with hill holders?? We missed out on this. My 1990 brumby does not have one but my 1988 L series does (as did my sister’s old 1984 L series sedan). They do need adjustment. Small amounts, test - adjust - repeat until you get the release point you’re happy with. Cheers Bennie
