franbev Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM Share Posted yesterday at 03:01 PM 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushytails Posted yesterday at 08:18 PM Share Posted yesterday at 08:18 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
el_freddo Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
