One sold and money donated. Another spoken for awaiting payment. Check original post for edits. Shawn , take some money and get yourself something on me , please. Thanks for two decades of USMB.

Bump , and One manual has been sold. You guys who spoke up about manuals , I would appreciate a follow through. Just donated $20 from the sale of one manual. The Ultimate Goal is for me to sell all five manuals (original listing) and donate it to the USMB. Make it so !

There’s another issue that applies as well. The black plastic flying saucer/hat looking part upstream of the carburetor breaks apart and small pieces of the plastic end up in the carb. This caused one longtime board member to have a wide open throttle driving my former 86 Brat back after I sold it to him. It really happened. Good luck , let us know what you found.

Ya know , I’m going through storage now and I suddenly don’t see any. I know I sold at least one set and that I once had three sets. So the sad answer is not at this time. But I sure do hope to rediscover a set that should be buried in the one corner I haven’t gotten to yet. One of my sets was super low miles set from a Subaru of America exec I came to know who sold me his 79k mike Brat. Just had his info and bill of sale in my hands yesterday. If that set shows up I’ll let you know.

Oh , and we had a guy from Maine drive all the way down to south Jersey to meet up with a bunch of knuckleheads from this board for some trail riding. He had a Brat with an XT engine in it , lifted and Kawasaki green. I am pretty sure his board name was ZXBrat denoting his Kawi afflictions. Man that was 2001 just after the 9/11 tragedy. You saw the smoke/dust still pouring into the sky from the WTC as you crossed the GWB. Huge American flag hanging on the bridge. Memories.

Ahh , just read your profile , pardon my ignorance. Ever been in contact with Junkyard Gabe ? He was down around Freeport along the shore. Good yard , good guy.

North Salem NY is Hayfields , but I didn’t see any events happening with a quick glance. The big one that you want to catch for sure , eventually is Caffeine and Carbs in New Canaan CT - check them online. They sometimes are downtown and sometimes at Waveny Park. Can’t go wrong with this meet. You’ll see it all from Paganis to unrestored funky classics.

Mainiacs have come and gone but I’m sure there’s a couple left here. Good luck with the 360. This board doesn’t really have a strong 360 support but of course you’re welcome to hang out. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting back.

Oh man , you’re going to leave us in suspense over what was in that “other box”. lol glad it worked out

Short notice but today is great before the rain gets here. Im at storage , should be here , will have lunch delivered so I’ll be here thru the afternoon if you’re taking that long drive. CubeSmart in Rowe Ave in Milford , CT just off I-95 exit 35 either direction , super easy to reach alongside the highway about 200 yards from the exit. I’ll check back but there won’t be any problem with me staying here or coming back to meet you if you’re driving mega miles. I am very involved with all sorts of stuff subaru and beyond. Pretty sure that guy has my number but I prefer not to post it. If you are serious about showing up send a PM here and I’ll get my number to you.

Sorry to disagree. Not all rubber New old stock is dried out. I retain many NOS rubber bits including the clutch lever boot which I’m trying to locate and match for our friend here. In general yes old rubber can’t immediately be trusted. But Subaru packaged their goods well.

Northeast gem. Nice find. Catch that rust now , don’t wait. I see you’re in Duchess County. Not too far from me in CT. Let me know if you take it to any shows/meets over near the CT line like the one in South Salem NY that I can’t think of the name. Or please try to make Caffeine and Carbs in New Canaan CT , it’s gotten huge but you’ll likely see the most exotic and expensive machinery there. Enjoy !!!

Thanks ! Best pics are on old hard drives. I did take shots of it before I left it on Saturday. Dusty , pine needles , cobwebs , tire or two going low or outright flat , bent front end protector , bent hood , wasted drivers headlights , but still a looker. Lol Motorcycles done then I want either a tailgate wagon or a stage one 4WD wagon or a 72-3 coupe. I’ll be too old and stiff for a Brat.

Nice going man !

Looks like I’ve got the next owner for my 78 4WD wagon. So next Saturday I’ll be cutting my old faithful companion free. Then I’ll be without any 1970’s Subarus. Sad but there’s good logic behind it all. And I’m sure I’ll be back when the time is right. So many great memories and stories. This wagon was a true hero to my young family back about 17 years ago.

My son is in Tempe and I’m an EARLY 2.2 nutcase myself. 90-94 for me in general. Help me out if you can, please. I’m often looking for items. You’ll find at least one post if you scroll down in the Wanted forum. Enjoy !

Aww you know how it goes , speaking for Earl , I’m in the same boat but different. Lol I bought my old motorcycles back in the 80’s for when I reach the age I’m at now. So technically I’ve got a couple 30+ year restorations going on.

Not me , it’s gonna kill me to see it. Lol j/k Go man , go !

Right on , Earl !!!! Are those larger valves than normal ? Nice knob !

Open the door all the way and use an extension. If need be just take the lower bolts out of the fender tail and the one bolt between the hinges. But really with patience and as mentioned the jack and some wood and you’ll be fine. I recall using a deep socket 10mm with extension for what you’re doing with the fender on.

Did you use Greyhound for shipping ?

No special tools , you’ll do fine , just keep note of what you’ve removed and do one door at a time so you still have an original for reference. Many of us have done this and I’ve never had any big issue. Glass is tricky but put it on an angle when pulling it out of the tracks and pretty sure you’ll want to lift the rear end up lastly so you get that required angle to remove and then install. Door lock stuff requires a bit of patience most of the time and smaller fingers help. There you might find a spring hook helps but chances are a straight head screwdriver will get you through. Go at it , you’ll be fine.
