Brat sliding rear window in Utah
moosens replied to Sweet82's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
There's that style shown,the double center sliders,and the solid glass for the Gen I. I just removed this very same style from an '80 Brat with a really nice gasket still intact. -
Brat sliding rear window in Utah
moosens replied to Sweet82's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Send me a PM and I'll hook you up. Between myself and Charlie we have like three of the first Gen Brat sliders and rear glass of all styles. Last time I was there I removed one from a 44k BRAT and the gasket was very usable. -
Brat steering wheel replacement

No,it should come right off. Just work it a little. -
Sounds cool. Family all just saw the promo and date(s) look open for now. Only about 3 hours drive so no big deal there. Going to pass this along to my friend. Nicest MG TD in the world in their garage along side of the Lotus Elan unrestored but super fast and fun as anything 40 years old. Next four months will dictate what we bring. Doubt it'll be "Sport" or "Exotic". Should be a cool spectator event for us.

this weekend is out Luc needs to ask his coach about taking a baseball practice day off. Trying to get next weekend locked down. '78 is ready for action now. If someone wanted to wheel during a weekday I might be able to swing that. Would have to not get down there untill after rush hour - probably get in the woods around 11AM-ish.

Single exhaust port EA63?
moosens replied to Kostamojen's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Had both,should still have both 2 and 4 port 1400's. Wrote about it in the past. Not sure if anyone searched or if it'll even show up. You'll find that the two port 1400 which several board members insisted did not exist,was adapted for the 1975 4WD wagon in the US. At least that's where mine came from. Cheers -
ZRC Galvalite spray-on zinc (galvanize in a can)
moosens replied to MilesFox's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Mandatory -standard procedure - when using on galvi - fencing ,etc. These sprays look great in certain applications and sure do protect and last when you spray it on clean metal. My restoration of my winch has that galvi. spray on the pulley and mounting. Looks better than when it was new. -
Need to iron out a few things and get back to you folks late tomorrow or Wed. As of this moment we'd be coming down in the FWD '92 Leg wagon. Need a fresh battery for the '78. New tires - ready that way. Also,I'm pretty sure I'm without a tow strap these days - need to check. Normally for a quality item I don't mind spending , but the ones I've seen lately are like $60 and made in China. Not that my last one wasn't about the same,but I'm just tired of buying Chinese crap. So uhh , you guys have decent tow straps ? Early April better - combine PA yard run - maybe camp - fish

Anyone done Dual Carbs with Webers or other>
moosens replied to moosens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Thanks very much for your input,guys. Although I can't do any machining right now I do expect to be in a new home soon and have a Bridgeport miller set. But I would gladly send work out and thanks Scott,for offering. One setup I'll do perfectly "stock" as the USA really never saw a dual carb Subaru through a showroom. The other d/c intake I want to have some fun with and make something that older car enthusiasts will appreciate and maybe cause them to repsect the little old Subaru more. And of course a little preformance won't hurt. These days I often work with prepreg graphite sheet that I'm making linkage pieces with a little at a time. A couple of plys,a little time = nice ultralight,ultrastrong pieces to make linkage from. This project is a long way off,I'm sure but not entirely over the horizon. -

moosens replied to moosens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sure...there's a reason. sounds cool. That's sort of half of the idea. Make something vintage that resembles a vintage sports car from Europe,etc. -
Hey guys there's a guy on eBay with some extra Subaru shirts. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=230232006782&ssPageName=STRK:MEBI:IT&ih=013 I picked up a bunch for our meets. Just thought you guys might want some raffle or prize items,etc. Plenty cheap !

moosens replied to moosens's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
That's why I'm really looking for alternatives to a Weber twin setup. It'll be a low use,fun vehicle. There's no way I can go and compete with the Datsun guys at the straightlines but I'd like to have something similar. Wouldn't you know that today I saw the super bright yellow Datsun with slicks,etc...... that I'd seen last year and previous,but only two or three times. Two years ago this mang pulls up along side my '78 wagon in highway rushhour traffic (parade) and can't even smile at me. Just lights up the rears with the supercharger whining away. Pretty cool,but obviously he thought my ride needed to be shown his car's muscle. I'll kick his rump roast in snow and ice !!!! :-p OK,back to the multi-carb setup. -

I've got ideas of Mikuni m/c four carb setups from a big bore bike. Then again,I have too many ideas. I do own a Puch Twingle with a Bing and have another matching carb in new form. They're mighty small though being on a 175cc bike. -

Has anyone seen any aircraft EA71's or EA81's with dual Webers or other non Hitachi? Thanks for the info,Jerry. -

That's what I needed to know,thanks. Yes,I'm aware of needing the hotter cam,etc. -
Searching for 10 "Junkers"
moosens replied to outofsync26's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
The real question here is - what are you going to do with these vehicles when you are all done with them? Will you folks look for the closest yard to dump them all in or actually make some sort of effort to market these? Good luck. Too bad you folks aren't taking advantage of Connecticut's tax breaks which has a flood of film industry production happening all over our little state. We just sent many 70's Subarus to the crusher this past winter that were all in one location. There's still a few more scattered that need to be crushed if you folks find yourselves doing any work out our way. -
74 GL coupe for sale down under
moosens replied to maudsland's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Thierry, Up here,come 1974,Subarus began with the squared bumper (with rubber end pieces) and 5mph shock absorbers. Was it the same down there? If you look at the pics one guy posted of three Coupes in the weeds you can clearly see the difference. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=86251 -
Hey Paul, Happy B-day!!!!!!
moosens replied to chef_tim's topic in Meet n' Greet. Your USMB Welcome Center
Tanks all yuze gize 45 for those counting. Cranked up plenty of Ramones at work. Guinness on standby but with my work schedule and nasty sleep pattern (or attempt at one) I need a good night's sleep before I can drink these days. -

Haven't registered yet,but that's not a big deal. Friend of mine might bring his '67 Lotus Elan this year. Or the Alfa GTV6 he turned over to his sister. Outside chance we can talk his dad into bringing this beauty: 1952 MG TD Bring whatever,just leave the attitudes aside in the bushes by the gate.
