Yes,I have those,but I don't have time right now,sorry.Everything got put away and has left my home and gone back to storage.Still have to get the other two guys together,but they know already that I was setting a set aside for you.I don't think anyone here understands exactly how hard it is to get Andrew,let alone Charlie and Andrew to show up somewhere at the same time.Haven't been able to make it happen since Carlisle in May!!! If you can wait then when I get settled into our next home I'll gladly hook you up.If you really need them soon I just can't help you right now,sorry.

:slobber: If an excellent match in carpet supply comes along,please considerinquiring about a group buy. Black,from '72-79 would sell big I'm guessing.Colors a lot less

Yes,and unfortunately the owner is in poor health.I was talking to Charlie who took home some of the parts,etc. and he was reading in the guy's paperwork that he/they were getting way behind on credit before they bailed. From the looks of it they closed their doors in early 1980....does that sound right?

He's at one of the bases in GA or SC if I remember right. How far north are you willing to travel?

I'll have to hunt through the service memorandums,etc. that I have and see if the instructions are around.I brought home just one package and emptied it out.I did not see any instructions with the package,so I'm sure the dealers must have gotten some nomenclature of this. Pretty cool,no pun intended.It's the carb shield that we're all familiar with from the EA81. Here's the postmark and label from the package: September 1979.... PCV stepdown: Vacuum Hose connection sticker comes with it. Let me try to find some more info on them.Meanwhile if somebody wants to add info please do so.

Any other years or models? I'm going to check the FPM's to see if I can tell that way.

Looks like all 4spds are the same from the drawings. If you go from 4 to 5spd I think it's best to grab the crossmember,clutch cable,etc. too,just to make sure it'll all go.

I'm pretty sure the '73 and '76 are both 4spds and both the same.I'll check later.

we've got a solid 15 paid for! Russell wants two as well.....that WagonsOnly should pay for :lol: just kidding. There's one other guy who contacted Todd,then spoke to me,who is sending money for I think one more,maybe two. As far as I'm concerned we're pretty much done. We up here have spoken for at least 6 pieces and my intention was to keep a couple.Don't bother adding things up,the last two are for a couple of stragglers... Derek from PRP called me on Saturday and all is on the go.Should be another month he said. Thanks for all your efforts in sending funds quickly.Don't forget,some of you have credit towards shipping,some owe.We'll settle up when the order comes in and I begin sending them out.Don't forget to tip the waiter

Contact the guy to be sure it's what you want.He's pretty cool.Go for it.

No,they sit lower,unless that's what you want. The guy has a limited stock but claims his supllier has more. Here's what he's said to me: Paul; It's good to hear from you.I have 1 pair of 1972-75 1400 2wd front inserts and 2 pairs of 1976-79 2wd front inserts. My supplier has a pair of rears for the 1972-79 2wd and 2 pairs of 1972-75 2wd fronts. Also, I have 1 pair each of the 1980-84 2wd & 4wd front inserts. They also fit the Hatchback to 1989 and maybe Brat. And I have 1 pair each of the sedan/coupe/hatchback rears and wagon rears. Shocks and inserts are $49 a pair plus shipping. I can make a deal on quantity. here's his email addy: charliet@ netreach.net But as you can see he'll make a deal for quantity....so,if you're ready to buy maybe we should get together and save some money.I was hoping we'd get some response here for the 2wd's.

I've held off just because I'm kind of cash poor right now and because I'd rather get the lot he has and save some money too. They aren't going anywhere,I'm sure.If you're really interested in getting them soon let me know.I'll pass along the guy's info or maybe break down and get my set(s) now.

Andrew's wagon has the same tach,or at least one much like it and in the same spot. I have yet to come across a picture in my FPM's that shows a '73 wagon dash looking like yours and Andrew's.I'll keep looking.

Thanks Connie.Let me get some coffee,unload the car,and see what the day looks like.Lots to do here today.Still have to empty out the car,etc.

Just a couple of months ago this young gentleman is on the highway with Michigan plates on an EA82 woody wagon.....looks over at me in my '78 and just about goes bananas bouncing up and down and smiling,waving,giving my car the thumbs up. Remember guys,I'm still wanting the border trim for those woody kits. If you send it to me I will do my best to copy the pieces and give you a set for the price of material.The set will be REAL wood either mahogony or something cheaper but good for outdoors. The original sets are applique with plastic simulated wood border. I'd gladly cover shipping both ways and like I said,offer you a real wood border set for cost of material. Meanwhile,when I get back to work I'm going to start my own border for an EA82 wagon.

Sweet!!

OK,now I really fell out of favor with the gang...:-\ Drove down Rt.7 coming from the mountains passing the metal bridge in New Milford at 8PM with kids that just needed to get home.Sorry guys. Hope you all had a good time.If anyone stayed over gimme a call on Sunday if you're hanging around.

Not bad....and you fixed the rear bumper too. Maybe a set of those '79 mirrors on the sides.

Russ,is the '79 from a Brat with the external diode on the back side of it?Those will work. An alt. from a sedan or wagon,etc from '79 won't do it.

One of these days we all need to see who's contacted which dealerships and specialty shops and then move in on those we haven't checked yet. This one above struck me. What stinks is that Charlie is getting a HEAP of incredible ff-1 parts and should I ever finally get the one from Washington I'm going to be hacking out parts restorations.But good for Charlie. He's the man here in CT.He says his 1971 ff-1 wagon resto. is probably about 5 years down the road.Oldest running non 360 in CT Next oldest is Andrew's '73 wagon.

Oh,and it's mostly for my brother who is interested and not a USMB member.....for those concerned for my parking issues.

That'd be me.Sending PM right now.

Thanks,I'll send a PM right now. Yes,the BRAT was introduced in 1977 You won't find many that are termed '77s. Most people don't know,and it's an easy enough mistake to make especially since it took a few months for those mid year 77's to sell. I met a guy who insists he was sold the very first BRAT in the US at a dealer where SOA is based in New Jersey.

Can you get me a price on the headlight buckets complete.That's the piece in back of the lights that the bulbs sit in.I need those for Mick in Iowa.Must be four headlight type. What color in and out?If there's a blue bash that's uncracked and looks really really excellent I'd pay you for the half hour it'll take to remove it. Might want a few other items too. Thanks, Paul

Mary,I hear ya,I've been saying the same thing since around 1999.A couple of you have resources,funds,and time that I don't so you guys beat me to it.Otherwise you can still see my original,entirely roadworthy '78 unrestored,which in itself is an accomplishment.That car gets a huge amount of compliments these days,after years of being looked down at and smirked at.Got lots of compliments at Carlisle! The coupe should be done first,and done just about as close to original as anybody can make it. Sorry my friend,there's no extras of the GL badge.Take the photo of mine and clean yours up and match the colors as best as you can.We found one of those badges in Vermont a few years ago (also NEW stock)but I think Scott K bought it just for eye candy.He doesn't own a GL1400.I'll see if I can get in touch with him but he's not returned calls or emails for a while now. Hey guys,doesn't this make you want to go ask your dealers about old parts laying around??? Shake 'em out now if they still exist.Otherwise they'll hit the dumpster,per order of SOA.....if we're lucky they put them on eBay,like Center Subaru did for awhile.I wonder if SOA put the screws to them for selling so much old stock.I don't see them pushing anything really old anymore.
