Sorry to drag out this old thread but I thought it better to keep all the related info together. So, I had the car looked at by a garage today and they did the following: replaced 3 vacuum lines cleaned carb with 'Subi Spray' reset mixture and idle checked dizzy and found sticking advance weights wh...

There's a place in Gepps Cross called All-Drive Services. They took over from Rising Sun (?), I believe, and they are Subaru specialists. http://www.all-drive.com.au/ I have my car booked in on Tuesday to try and solve an ongoing vacuum leak so I'll see how it goes and let you know. Just had the car...

The earth looks good but I'll definitely get a couple of wires on it to check before I replace the switch.

Cheers for the reply, I realised when I'd put it back together I should have measured that tab or maybe tried swapping the adjusters on opposite sides. I just ordered some new shoes. Figured I might as well replace them when I get time to pull it apart again. Didn't seem possible to put the shoes I ...

I replaced mine on my Brumby a couple of years back and it was fiddly but not impossible. Can't remember removing the plate that taza mentioned - maybe a previous owner did it?
I think I used a small socket extension for the tricky bolts.

Hi everyone When I got my car ('87 Brumby), one of the rear brake drum adjusters had a damaged thread and had limited adjustment capabilities. I recently got a used adjuster and just fitted it today. I was expecting to be able to finally get a proper adjustment done but, unfortunately, I had a bit o...

Yeah I suppose you're right - it was exceptionally cheap. Having said that, I'll probably end up buying another cheap one. At least it'll make me change the coolant regularly!

Rather than start a new thread, I'm just gonna add to this to keep the info together..... I found out recently that my thermo fan doesn't kick in any more. I haven't double checked the motor yet but (as per earlier in the thread) the switch was replaced in July 2013. I'm just wondering what the norm...

Yeah, sorry for the delay but here's my facebook pics - biased toward older cars...

There is a Facebook page too, I only found out about this show recently via the Iron Chef Imports Facebook page. I reckon there'll be a lot of modern modified stuff but hoping for some good classics as well.

Anyone going to this? Sunday 15th March at Glenelg.

I applied for my Brumby and I've been accepted so I'll be there!

Couple of years back I got some genuine from a Subaru dealer. Can't remember how much but they can't have been ridiculous or I would have got them made elsewhere.

Cheers

Sounds good, I'd like to come along and lend a hand and meet some forum members. Might even grab some parts while I'm there;).

I'll follow this thread with interest as my Brumby steering rack has started to feel and sound a bit rough. Might be a while before I get round to it though.
Are all manual MY racks interchangeable or are there variations between years, models etc?

Cheers

Nah I just went to the Lonsdale yard. Might be a while before I find the time to visit the others

That was my first time at U Pull It, it's pretty close to where I live. I managed to get a rear brake adjuster, a fuel filler flap and a couple of window winders. There was a set of 13" white sunraysia style wheels on one wagon if anyone's interested. I'm looking forward to a trip to the other 2 yar...

I reckon this is a great idea, count me in. As well as parts, it's always good to be able to share knowledge and maybe even lend each other a hand when working on our cars.
Nice to meet you at U Pull It, henpecked.

Cheers

I replaced mine a year or so back. My Brumby is 1987 model and I suspect the hoses had not been previously replaced. Guess I was lucky they all held out until I got round to it. Would have loved to have gone braided but, as usual, budget ruled over all else! Once put braided hoses on the front of a ...
