April 14, 200520 yr Whats the story with the jump seats in the back of the brat/brumby can someone explain the purpose of these seats to me please :-\ The way I heard it was: At the time of the importation of the Brat into the US there was a tariff on trucks, but not on small cars. So, the Subaru folks put the seats and belts in the back so it could haul passengers, making it NOT a truck, so they didn't have to pay import duties.
April 14, 200520 yr Author So are they road legal over in the states and would they be legal in australia and if so would i be able to get then in australia?????
April 14, 200520 yr In the US it's a state-by-state issue. F'rinstance, used to be legal in Hawaii, aren't any more. Are still legal in Montana ('corse, almost EVERTHING is legal in Montana). I have no idea 'bout legality in OZ.
April 14, 200520 yr Author Looks like i'll have to go see the transport department l8er on 2day then. is there anywhere i can get them from for a decant price???? i ar rather curious. if anyone has any pics of these seats could they sent a few to brumbyworld@hotmail.com it would be much appreciated
April 15, 200520 yr Yep, the real west...we can carry people in the back of our Brats (Brumbys) and we can carry guns to keep them safe!
April 15, 200520 yr IN Oregon, I believe the law is you must have all the seats with belts available filled first, then you can pile in the back, but since there is belts with the jump seats no problem. My friend and I are going to install some into his brat...some one cut them out along the line...so we went to the junkyard with a small generator and a cut off grinder...got the whole setup for $50.!!! [HTi]Johnson Oh yeah, if you look in the back of your Brumby...you'll either see spots by the cab, on each side, that have threaded holes or just raised squares in the bed, that's where the belt buckles are fastened. I'll try to get you pics.
April 15, 200520 yr I was riding in Carl's brat (MrCarb) and i belive I remeber waving at the cop that was behind us... he never pulled us over, just looked at us funny- a friend and I were riding out in the seats going home on a rainy day! :cool:
April 16, 200520 yr Author Yeah thanks for the pics would it be possible to get some pics closer up and of the seat mounts and the belt mounts. would any 1 be interested in shiping a set including belts to OZ?? If so how much do you want for them??
April 16, 200520 yr I have some seats at home I will try to get some pic off of my brat for you, and I will look for the seat belts too, I have these but I'm not looking to sell them sorry,
