Junkyard score

[Speedwagon]

I went back today to get the flywheel for this 5 speed conversion, and I took another look at the '82 Brat they had there. Didn't pay attention before, but on top of it were 2 sliding rear windows, plus the one still in the back. One of the windows that was just sitting there, was the 2 piece slider(instead of the center 3/4 window sliders). The window was complete, so I grabbed it to replace the crappy, no latch, 4 piece in my '87 brat! And I didn't even have to do anything to get it, either!

Turns out, this wasn't the best score. Apparently, unknown to me, the Brats have different sized rear windows. And I'm guessing the earlier ones are smaller, because this rear window doesn't fit.

really, thats odd. i took a window out of my gold brat, and put it in my maroon brat.the gold was a rust victim from 82, maroon was 86.

 

the one you grabbed may be from an ea71 brat.slightly smaller.but all ea81 brats had the exact same body.some quirks here and there.but the same body, period.exceptin long beds, or bobs of course fo rthe literal idiots out there.

Hmm, maybe it was. It was just sitting on top of a Brat in the yard, which was the single square headlight body. But the window I got is definitely narrower than my current window.
