Hey brat This is Jerry, just bring your old drive shalf to a drive line shop and tell them you want 51 inches of new tubing install in it and have it balance. Problem solved. For the brats and wagons the lenght is 51 inches and the hatchback is 48 inches of new tubing. Thanks Jerry

Hey Gary This is jerry, if you use that tool make sure that the piston is at the top of the cylinder. If you don't and the valve drops into the cylinder how do you get it back into the valve guide magic. Thanks Jerry

Hi This is Jerry, i have 2 of them. The first one i bought about 4 years ago that is in my hatch and the other one about 2 years ago it is in my hatchbrat. I haven't had any problems good battery and also mine haven't had any build up on the post. Thanks Jerry

Hey Fluid This is Jerry, i had a 78 brat that did the same thing. Well to get it unstuck you need to jack up the front end of the car just so the front wheels are off the ground. Then you need a rod about 3 feet long. Start the car in gear with the clutch pedal push in to the floor. Then rev the engine to about 2 grand with the rod, with your right foot dinamite the brakes. It will brake loose the clutch i had to do it 4 times before the clutch broke loose but after i did it everything was ok ready to drive. OH BTW make sure there is nothing in front of your car because if it falls off of the jack you won't run over anything. Thanks Jerry

Hey Single This is Jerry, cut your shaft in half then get some tubing heavy wall that will fit over the shaft. Slide the tubing over 1 part of the shaft and install the parts on the car. Slide the tubing over the steering shafts and center the tubing. Spot weld it in place then remove it and weld it up and reinstall it. Done deal Thanks Jerry

Hey Guys This is Jerry, i have a B&M T shifter handle on my hatch chrome looks really great old school. The T handle has half inch fine threads in it they are close to the 12 mm x 1.25 and i use maxuiam strenght locktite on the threads let it set for 8 hours then you are good to go. Shift away hasn't come loose yet in 6 months. When people my age look at my hatch they say was this car built in the 60s and i tell them no i was. Thanks Jerry

Hey Stumpy This is Jerry, my neighbor is building a subaru trike. He got a gold wing front end with the frame and stub it on the rear of a EA81. He has a EA81 engine with the 4x4 auto and has it in 4 wheel drive. The drive line is the front yoke and rear flange with one u joint. My neighbor is missing his left leg thats why he has the auto tranny. If you want pictures i can mail them to you let me know. Thanks Jerry

Hey Guys This is Jerry, my hatch back dosen't sound like a subaru with those side pipes on it. My hatchbrat dosen't sound like a subaru also with those 3 inch exhaust stacks on it. I am old school i lkie the sound of horse power and the rumble. Some of you guys have heard my subies cool. Thanks Jerry

Hi Guys This is jerry, i had it in my 86 brat and i was at the subie show 1. There was a bunch of pictures of it with that roll bar in it. The cost of the bar was 165.00 and the shipping was 135.00 but you got to remember that was over 7 years ago. Thanks Jerry

Hey Guys This is Jerry, i am in the proscess of doing that same project. It is a 80 brat with a 6 inch lift and a hot EA81 with the 5 speed dual range tranny useing the stock shifters. Also i have install the EA81 rear suspension and rear disc brakes. From doing this project if you are going to stuff the 5 speed dual range tranny in a EA71 car or brat you will need at least a 4 inch lift the tunnel is to small and the tranny is to big to fit without alot of mods to the tunnel. It will be done in about 2 weeks and i will let you know how it turns out. Thanks Jerry

Hi Guys This is Jerry, these roll bars are really cool i know because i have one. Thanks Jerry

Hey 75subie This is Jerry, i have a 80 hatchbrat that i built the 4 inch lift also the wheels and the bumpers and everything else on it. I don't know how to post the pictures but if you type in the word hatchbrat you will find on the board. I had it at the show last year it's a blast to drive. Thanks Jerry

Hi This is Jerry, this happen about 8 years ago in the winter time. I went over to my buddy house just to BS with him. Well he was on his front steps with a confuse look on his face. I ask him whats wrong he said the backhoe quite running. We walk about half mile and there it was in the middle of the snow covered gravel road. He ask me to pull it with my brat i told him you do the math 2500 lbs. againts 18000 lbs. not going to pull it. What had happen is the fuel jelled up on it. Went back to get my brat and shifted it in 4 low first gear the wheels spun about one turn and away we went. Pull the case backhoe in to his front drive way. i would have never though my brat could do that. Thanks Jerry

Hey Soobme This is jerry, i would love to get a set of gears thats what i was trying for. All i am saying is becarefull you have no way to get your money back. If you are able to get a set of gears in 4.44 i am very interested in buying a set. Thanks Jerry

Hi Bobby This is jerry, sounds like somebody that had the car before you got it did an engine swap and stuff the turbo on that engine. Some of the stuff i have seen and heard about makes you wonder how safe the cars are on the road. Thats what most likely happen. Thanks Jerry

Hey JWX This is Jerry, yes i have call him on the Aussie board i use to be able to post on that board but Mr Brett the big butt as he is band me form posting anything else. That has been over a year now. If somebody dose this to you you won't think very much of them. I have all the paper work stateing how much money he got and time and date he got it. Thanks Jerry

Hey Guys This is Jerry, thats what i though about Brett BUT i got screwed by him no other way to put it or say it. He stole my money, if he was a good guy he would have sent the gears or sent me my money back. I also got an email from his neighbor and she didn't have any thing good to say about him and she lives next door to him. All i am saying is becarefull you might have the same thing happen to you. I don't care what anybody has to say about him, he screwed me ans thats the bottom line. Thanks Jerry

Hey Guys This is Jerry, please Do Not buy any thing from the back yard boys unless you want your money stolen. It happen to me about 3 years ago from the big dog Mr Brett Rogers. I had bought a set of 4.44 gears for a 5 speed dual range tranny. Well he stole my money no parts yet and yes i email him but after a while he quite answering me. Just took my money and ran, do i think he is a nice guy hell NO. Thats my dealings with him. Thanks Jerry
