Guys, Need some advice. Want to build some ladder racks for my Brumby and was thinking of having them removable i.e 30mm square hollow tube welded to a plate and fixed to the tray and racks made from 25 x25 square tube that slots inside the base plate. Question is where best to fix the base plates g...

Thanks Bantum, looked at that website max offset they do is 15+ same clearance issues

Good luck with finding a good one Seth. I have had mine for 6 months now and drive the missus mad as I am always doing something to it. Next project is finding a decent set of wheels for it, ongoing. They are great little runabouts and as economical as all get out, I only use 8.5 lt per 100kms aroun...

Further development on the UFOwheels.com China connection. The maximum offset available with the 14 x 6 wheel is a +18mm. Standard Brumby with 13 x 5.5 " factory Sunny's is a + 42mm. Difference of 24mm + 12mm additional rim width would see a tyre on the front sticking out beyond the guard edge which...

Only prob is they don't do a 15" in the 139.7 x 4 PCD that I could see unless I missed something. Have a look at UFOwheels.com

Found these wheels on UFOwheels,com a Chinese factory who will ship to Australia provided a minimum of 40 wheels are ordered 14 x 6" with 4 x 139.7 PCD. USD 22.00 painted USD34.00 Chromed + Freight cost which they will send an estimate on. Problem is getting 10 bods interested http://i.imgur.com/vTS...

Sold a an Alloy version in good condition on Gumtree recently for $90

Guys when I start the Brumby in the mornings and afternoon after work the first 2 seconds when she fires I get a knock which sounds like big ends, which then goes away and the thing just ticks over Has got 287K on it and running 20w 60 Penrite HPR Diesel oil on their recommendation. Don't recall the...

Here's some figures for you Ben
Standard tyre 175 70 13 Diameter 575.20 mm Speedo at 100kph

185 60 14 Diameter 577.60 mm Speedo 100.42 kph

195 75 14 Diameter 648.10 mm Speedo 112.67 kph so 12kph faster

Yes Ben, it's the tyre size that is doing it. To get a near accurate speedo reading you would have to be on 185 60 14's or 195 55 14's iwhich you can't get. That of course would negate the whole idea of increasing the ride height which is what you are after.It's all about rolling circumference of th...

1992 Brumby 295000kms 8.85l per 100k city cycle

Gee ,reading this I think I will have to encourage no.1 son to restore the identical car to this he has sitting in his garage gathering dust, only difference being it has the import constant AWD box, RS Liberty Turbo , big Intercooler and Microtech ECU. Great fun to drive with 105kw at the wheels on...

Julian, I was a bit like you, have had plenty of Suby's over the years, MY GLF's RX Turbo, Liberty Series 1 AWD, L Sportswagon with RX Turbo running gear, Impreza Hatch loved them all. 8 weeks ago finally bought a Brumby which I have wanted for years to see me through my retirement years which like ...

Guys, Fishing around under the dash of my recently acquired 92 Brumby found a thing called AQUALERT, traced the wiring back through a relay and around top of radiator to a dead end so I pulled the whole thing out. Apparently it is a low water in the radiator alarm only thing missing far as I can gat...

Chris, Just bought myself a 92 Brumby and missing the LH front Subaru badge and rear tailgate 1800 badge, any chance you have these. Majordad
