Windshield gaskets Batch One ***Completed***
SUBARU3 replied to Zefy's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Paul, I think there is a Paypal fee on ANY type of inbound payment, no matter the source if you have upgraded your account. Check on this before you start accepting payments. -
I'm not sure if it's metallic or not. But if it was would it not "wear" and stop after 2000 miles? It is speed dependent, not RPM dependent. Neutral changes nothing. Engine off changes nothing. Antenna is on left A pillar. Completely stock car, lights included. It is heat dependent. It starts after about 15 minutes of driving. I have noticed that a hard turns above 15-20 mph quiets it for a second! Hmm. Todd

It can be done at home. You need 2 people though. AND....cut the old windshield out with a razor blade. Don't try to remove it with the old gasket intact. You will crack the glass! To install, use a greased rope in the grove and pull from the inside, while someone pushes from the outside. Todd -

gen1 coupe measurements needed
SUBARU3 replied to mcbrat's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
The fenders and door from a 2 door Gen 1 are the same as the fenders and doors from a gen 1 BRAT. (The glass is different though, but it interchanges between the doors.) The car doors have a side impact bar built in, but the brat door does not. (Other wise the doors shells are identical). Todd www.vintagesubaru.com -

I'm sure someone could buy a few extra and sell on eBay. There are Gen 1 owners not on the forum. Just a thought! Todd -

25 is GREAT! I'm sure we can sell them! These gaskets ALSO fit ALL gen 1 wagons, coupes and sedans....EXCEPT GF. They can work in the GF , but it's tight in the upper L and R corners. (But better than a rotton gasket!) We better get them, as I'm sure the demand is coming. A leaking front gasket will destroy these cars! I personally don't need any, as I already bought from them.

Now that I think about it, I believe there is an o ring inside. Todd -

Question to all single range transaxle peeps
SUBARU3 replied to swiftt's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
You mean when the shifter rod goes into the case?? The 4wd selector is up high and typically does not leak. All my single range trannys have done this. It's a slow, slow drip though. If you part facing downhill slightly, it stops. It's just a machined seal. (I think there is an o-ring inside maybe?) Todd -

This place has them NEW. Not 20 years old, that have been sitting on a shelf and dry rotting! http://www.prp.com/prp/ The dealer gasket would not be the best choice. The 2 I used from a dealer were OVERPRCED and were stiff and dry. PRP has a BRAND NEW one for like $50 Todd -

1978 Subaru Brat - Need Parts / Donor Vehicles
SUBARU3 replied to subi1978's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
I can attest positively to this project! I helped them out with the BRAT stripes. I worked with Kevin. I know I have some of the items. I'll have to dig for more. I'm sure you will get most of that fairly easy here. Let's see some pics! You can use this part # for the hood SUBARU badge. It's chrome and the same size as the original. Just cut off the 2 plastic tabs. I used these on 4 of mine. CHROME SUBARU EMBLEM FROM 1990s Subaru # 93060AA010 Todd -
problem with headlight circuit
SUBARU3 replied to rsb's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
That hot fuse for the headlights was actually a recall on most Gen 1s. The dealership bypassed the fuse block and installed a heavy duty harness and separate fuse. The resistance in the stock fuse block is too great and it heats up. In many cases melting the plastic plug on the back of the fuses. It could cause the lights to fail and an accident to occur. Separate it and wire in a heavy duty harness. Todd -
The upper wheel well area is a typical rust area on all Gen 1s. It will be interesting to see the posts on this! (I have talked to Trudy on the phone.) Todd
