Hey all,

Getting a brumby back on the road, and the carby is very secondhand, anybody got a replacement they'd want to sell?

What about the Weber option? How Jared is that to do?

TIA

Have messaged Fatz, it would be great to get this to go with the forester I have ready to pull to bits and stick into my brumby!

Hehehe. Thanks. I've actually been lurking for a few years on and off, but have finally bitten the bullet as the engine and gearbox in the Brumby seem to be on the way out. So it sounds like by disassembling the forester, I should be able to do most of it without too many more parts required. I'm pl...

Hi All, I've managed to find an old forester manual EJ20 donor car to transfer the running gear into one of my Brumbies. So it sounds like I should be fairly straight forward (cough), apart from the "custom inner CV joints" mentioned in the sticky thread Can somebody clarify what that means/how they...

The little plastic things under the chrome strip are disintegrating, anybody know where I can get replacements?

Failing that, what are others doing around the edge of the ute tray?

TIA

Not sure this is the right place, but have noticed a couple of Brumbies for sale lately:

1. On Alexandrina Road in Mount Barker SA - $ 7990 for a very neat looking one that I drove past.

2. At Nairne in SA @ Nairne Complete Auto Care - $ 2000 neg for a bit of a roughie.

So a 2.5 Forrester engine will fit in a Brumby as well then?

Need to see the design, and at least some of their other work as well before committing to that sort of money.

Keen, depending on price and what they look like.

My ute is having the Rhino lining done yesterday and today. Im having all the interior done as well as im not having carpet. Ive seen the ute section and it looks a treat, but the price is rediculous 850 for ute section 750 for the floor/firewall.Ill put some pics up when it comes back. Yeah, I'm n...

I would probably be interested in a lid as well.

I just got around to ringing about this. The guy was helpful, said it would take a full day, and cost $ 750.00. They pull all the removable panels off, and do them individually, and for older utes, generally do a primer coat first. Another alternative is from bushranger.com.au - they apparently make...

I have just got a brumby, and would like to line/do something with the tray, since its in pretty good nick.

I was thinking something like Rhino lining, but im interested to see/hear what others have done - Pics and prices are good .

Spoke to transport SA today, asked about putting new engine into Brumby. The guy said a Std 2.2L is easy, for the 2.2L EFI you need to keep the ECU exposed so they can tell its not aftermarket. In both cases you just need to fill out a form and let them know what you are doing. The lists of allowed ...

Looks like an EJ18 would be the only option in South Australia? http://www.transport.sa.gov.au/pdfs/personal_transport/light_vehicles_pdfs/engine_changes_less_4gvm_01.pdf Although it looks like you might be able to request an approval before starting if its not on the list. http://www.transport.sa.g...

They don't care what the output is, it is only the capacity, you may put a Honda S2000 motor into a car that was an EA81/82 if your heart so desires. As long as the emissions are same or better and all the anti-pollution gear is retained and no major structural changes take place it is an "Owner Ce...
