I'm fitting a hybrid ea81/82 AC to a turbo Ea82 Brumby. I left out that that the ea82 fan switch has about 8 or 9 wires coming out, into 2 sockets. Obviously one to the resistor and other to AC harness, + earth Brumby has 4 out of switch. The 2 switches are physically different sizes and haven't pro...

Here's fan circuit/ fault diagnosing. Note not shown is the bundle of wires attached to the fan switch. I assume the extra wiring is for the AC harness. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170303/c9712ec3d6395829d4b6ec188ac5f69f.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170303/4a91a30177ae74c4b7c2c625981b...

If your using an ea81 engine,just use ea81 flywheel, pressure plate assy and throwout bearing, with a starter spacer. Use the 5 speed plate but.
Throwout bearings are the interchangeable from memory, rebuildable cast steel for ea81, sealed unit for 5 speed.

Some pics are with out indicators the ot...

If you come to Brisbane ie Darra or Lawnton you have it free

I'm assuming D/R is dual range. You don't mention 4wd as a need. Your best bet is to get the ea82 5speed and a Liberty DR 5 speed AWD box and swap the innards around, if the lower dual range ratio and 4wd setup is needed. Easy way is just source the Liberty DR AWD box and fit that. No adaptor plates...

If you get the dash make sure you get everything-
IE crashpad, instrument surround, vents, wiring etc.
Found that out the hard way, cluster by itself is no good!

My Brumby has a 2" lift kit and tyre wears great. Wears the outside edge smooth, with the rest of the tyre on wear limit markers. Top strut mounts have set the strut inwards to make the camber closer to 0 degree. Can't tell you settings as never been wheel aligned. If the kit is made solid, alignmen...

depends where you are.
I've got one at Lawnton
Made the plate and bellhousing to be able to start an engine in the stand

Sounds like the idle jet is blocked. It's a brass screw on the throttle side about midway up the Carby. There's a fine jet on the end of this. Plus make sure the o'ring still intact. Another check is for manifold leaks. I've had 2 webbers on an EA81,an early 2l Cortina and a late emissions Escort ca...

I think 3" kits are illegal to use on a road registered cars.
Would expect a complete 2" lift kit would be worth a couple of hundred $ anyway. The're would be over a $100+ in just bolts alone, especially if they're missing.

torque to yield bolts can be identified by the shape of the threads. ordinary threads have a sharp edge, torque to yield bolts are rounded as is the thread on the hole, so ordinary bolts cannot be interchanged. this is explained on the packaging of the gasket. the racing hq guys have the heads off ...

Have you checked the front and rear diff are the same ratios? I got a flat tyre on my Brumby with a WRX 4.44 diff and 14 sunraysias and fitted a std 13 wheel on the rear and the vibration was that bad from the viscous centre. Tailshaft was rattling that bad I thought it was going to fall off. I was ...

I've got 2 red ones both 85 models One rusted badly in tray and other not too bad apart the young fellow I got it off scrub bashed it and hit an umbrella tree and stoves the rh corner in a bit. There's nothing to get too excited about them as you can't even hang out of the hole after you take the gl...

I bought a Brumby that has a very heavy clutch pedal and very hard to select gears unless you push the pedal hard to the floor. I replaced clutch cable and found the pedal box was cracked and broken around the cable mounting point. Replaced the pedalbox and no difference. I rerung the engine due to ...

I had bad fuel starvation with my brumby when I put a second hand Cortina webber and found after much swearing, found out that some wombat blanked the fuel supply off for the webber and used the fuel return line as the inlet. After studying the top a mate noticed the problem. The return has a small ...

if you get the MY series PS you'll need 1 the PS engine xmember, the stupid ps rack is significantly larger on the passenger side of the car and won't fit the Brumby xmember 2 the cylinder heads with 3 or 4 10mm holes on the drivers side, to mount the pspump bracket, some head I've seen don't have t...

Just be wary that you'll blow the bum out of the non electronic coil. There's a difference in the resistance of the coil.
I think from memory that if you use an electronic coil with points, the points burn.
