  1. I think I'll pick some of these up to experiment with. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ITP-1425573014B?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-ITP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsZ3kBRCnARIsAIuAV_Ti2KLDMjY_Euyj3lrLbcLIA8RLkuqulM1F_MkeJ4wTzKufIiNTKdoaAtGNEALw_wcB Should work great with these tires I scored at tractor supply
  2. I know the idea of atv rims has been thought of many times for the 4x140 pattern. Lately at work I've been seeing all these Can-Am side by sides that run 4x137 14 inch rims. Some of them are really cool and even have beadlocks. Has anyone tried drilling out one of those rims to fit a old soob? I know people were nervous that ATV rims couldn't hold up to the weight, but some of the side-by-sides I've worked on are four seaters that weigh 1800 lbs without occupants and are made to take crazy jumps. Most of them make nearly 200hp. https://can-am.brp.com/off-road/side-by-side/maverick-x3/maverick-x3-max-x-rs-turbo-r.html I'll try to score a rim and update if it goes well.
  3. I have this kit on my brat and love it. I have single headlight but I assume there's one out there for quad lights https://www.summitracing.com/parts/hla-002395801/overview/
  4. I have a set of old 4x140 enkeis I was trying to find tires for and being 5.5 inch rims the widest tire that would fit would be a 185. A 205 would go on the rim but the sidewall may be curved in, compromising any benefit of the wider tire. I assume that your rim is also 5.5 wide. Do you want to keep the factory rim or would you like to upgrade? I did the 6 lug conversion on my 79 brat and I'm really happy with it. Opens up a world of tire options.
  5. I did this. I have a 79 brat with a 84 ea81 and 4spd. To get the motor to fit I had to remove the shield around the steering shaft on the cross member. I also had to shave the drivers side bottom engine stud a bit. The mounts on the tranny need to be moved to the rear mounting position. There are four tapped holes toward the back of the tranny. Use the brats original drive line and CV axles. I'm running a weber with no fuel return line. There's no way to easily set up a return system in stock form. Use the four speeds shifter. The linkage works without any welding. The original 4wd lever won't work.I'll post a picture of my solution to this. The ea81 has a internally regulated alternator. You need to remove the stock external regulator on the brat. Theres a guide on how to wire to bypass it on the forms. Pretty simple stuff

  7. Can anybody tell me which axles I need to order? Thanks
  8. From what I've read, a ej 5spd and legacy front axles work in a ea82 if also using ej wheel hubs. Is this true?
  9. Hey all. Does anybody have a part number for the bushing in the 4wd trailing arms? I'm also looking to replace the difference hanger bushing if anybody knows that number. Thanks
  10. Okay will do, I'll probably swap out the whole plug. At least I own a good soldering gun now. Thank You
