EA 81 rear seat modification??
mcbrat replied to RAugur33's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I wanted to have a set shipped over from Australia, but then II rid of the wagon..... -
correct, but the 82's sometimes have something different with the wiring.... so if you're replacing the whole unit, go with 83-97 just to be sure....

My '78 Brat is being revived!
mcbrat replied to Caboobaroo's topic in Historic Subaru Forum: 50's thru 70's
if you grab the URL off the properties of the pics, and paste it into your address bar to go direct, they show up, then they showed up in his post for me as well..... -
cool. are the photos posted the highest res ones you have? I can save them off there, and build a page for them, or if you want to build a display page for them, assuming they are in the same directory as the html file, I can take the whole package and save it to the USMB Server (so it's not dependent on the photo site) and link it into the 80's page. Be sure to put your name on it too

I've gotten strut mounts at NAPA befoe and I think they were $60+ each there... the Gen1's have norrower tops I believe... The Gen2 caps are the same for 2wd/4wd, but they have an arrow as to which way they point for each....

Lowend torque for the EA82 for offroading
mcbrat replied to Scott in Bellingham's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...

Where to buy EA81 heater core?
mcbrat replied to mikeshoup's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
an easier way to replace the core.... http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=49964 the control valve is a dealer only part. $110-130 usually. the do tend to corrode. the core pictured in the auction is an ea81 style core.... -
How much torque can an ea82 rear end take?
mcbrat replied to bgd73's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
depends on how it's driven, and conditions. for normal (non aggressive) driving I'd think it'd be fine, but if you're gonna thrash, no. -

"Desert Fox" Edition Hatch Decals???
mcbrat replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
they weren't an official edition. they were just aftermarket decals you could get for them.... They came from D&G Enterprises, Inc. 1280 E. Chocolate Ave. Hershey, PA 17033 Appearance package for SUBARU HATCHBACK MOUNTAIN GRIZZLY DG-160-A-BLUE -
"Desert Fox" Edition Hatch Decals???
mcbrat replied to 75subie's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
MikeW has a set of Desert Fox Decals.... but has never installed them. the Mtn Grizzly Decals I had were for a hatch too. Mike and I got them around the same time off eBay, and I've been on the look-out for a set of the Desert Fox ones for my current Hatch... they were an aftermarket item. I still have the company sticker off my mtngrizzly decals box. it had a drawing of a Brat on it..... notice how they don't quite make it to the rear on a wagon since it's longer. the Desert Fox decals are the same size and layout as these, but Tan based in color as I recall...
