front passenger wheel seized up 1985 gl hi-lo
BratRod replied to nepppen's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Sounds pretty indicative of a bearing to me... You said "bearing" just to be sure, you mean both, right? There are two per front wheel. -
No headlights or dash lights, '85 Brat
BratRod replied to jonas's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Still starts? I would try testing for continuity among the ground straps. My Brat had the same problem. It ended up being a combination of: ground strap, blown fuse, and melted wire due to PO putting a 40amp fuse in there... -

Cool. I get out of school today.

Updates...

Well, that answers my questions. Thanks guys. Guess this compressor won't work, then.
-
Did we get the DL coupe with the EA71? Because I bought a compressor for my EA81 brat, and it is definitely an EA71 compressor. Guy I bought it from said it was an 84 DL... was I wrong to assume it was an EA81?

86 Brat AC/Heater Fan Issue
BratRod replied to Bratmobile's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
You scored the dreamsicle Brat? Nice. Sorry I cant answer your question, my a/c does not work either. -
Sounds like a good score. On a side note, not to be mean, I have never seen a set of jump seats go for $400. Not all together, maybe the most superb examples of each part, though. Looking forward to pictures.

broke bolt, then made worse...
BratRod replied to danrenfroe2016's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
Yeah, I know what you mean, we need more people. There is a pretty cherry brown G2 Brat off of Royal Ln. I don't know if its a member or not. My Brat stays over by Scott mill and trinity mills, with my dad. -

You must be the guy my dad talked to the other day with the brat in the garage. He told me the color and I knew it was you, lol. That would explain why I haven't seen you drive down Josey in awhile. Hope you get it worked out. cheers. -
Covered my dash in some spare leather I had laying around. Turned out pretty good. You can still see how rough the dash is, because the leather conformed so well, lol. It's a sight better than it was before. This is just temporary till I invest some time in perfecting my other dash. Spots are from the windshield... don't mind the dust pan, haha
-
I believe they are, I will double check tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
-
Yeah, mine doesn't have the double slotted pulley like that one. Bracket looks the same, though.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/pts/3781827021.html ...this will bolt into my 85 EA81 brat, right? My compressor has been locked up, and with my recent discovery of the R-12 abundance on Craigslist... I figured id give it a shot. Thanks for the help, as usual.

Plastic door panel retainers
BratRod replied to bartbrat's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Also carried at O'Reilly's, and if you can't find them at all.... I know Honda passports have the same clips, so you could pull them from a yard. -
Ea 81 exhaust, what you guys running?
BratRod replied to jonas's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

honda boys talking smack. need motor ideas
BratRod replied to drake13's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Oh lord, I laughed a little too hard at this. -
Try Craigslist for R-12. Its always for sale around me. Around $15-$30 a can, depending on the seller. Then there are the people who want $120, lol.

It was one of the wires running to the fuse (#5?) I believe the previous owner may have put a higher amp fuse causing the wire to burn at one point. I did have to pull back the casing, luckily the burned part was above the kick panel on the drivers side (why it fried there is beyond me) As far as not starting, it was the ignition module. I highly suggest changing yours if the coil tests fine. What exactly is your Brat doing?
-
lots will say no to the EA82, period. Personally, for 4k I would build a really nicely done EJ. I believe SJR does the wiring harnesses and other stuff (http://sjrlift.com/index.php/catalog/engine-swap-parts)OBD1 would probably be less wiring, if that concerns you.
