you may notice nncoolg's sig - wants that auto box. It may be the box or rust that caused it to end up in the yard. Make an offer for the whole thing and tow it home.

well, Pillarless Jim has your RX's towbar if you wanna get it back to original. From what I recall you bought the rolling shell from nncoolg so you no got much EA82 stuff, unless you have got your old wagons bits still about ?

mm..can see how trade prices are set now !! Figuring sellers make more on non Bendix, many people want the cheapest, making it harder to move quality known brand stock. Likely more important on drum braked rear models coz the discs are working harder up front. Really not expecting any improvement in...

might just be if 392's can be fitted to all models, coz it is the shortest, and one of the thinnest - one less part number to stock [the DB426} ? Brakes are nice now. I did the Subaru tech of the 80's recommended loosen of the handbrake at the adjuster, pumped the pedal [sort of like crazy :) , engi...

MV Brumby brake pads differences ??

OK, long time ago I wandered into a brake joint sprouting 10/8 4 earlier post had a typo - 10/81 :oops: Brumby, wanted front pads.He sold me DB326. They either did not fit, maybe did not look same as ones that came out, but anyway I recall coming away with a swap - for DB426. No problems since. Have...

Was thinking about this concept you have nearly completed. There is something about L Series over the MY ( L Sedan 4WD V's 4WD Brumby anyway) in how they feel and handle on the road. I hope you achieve something that much better. So, when you did the LCA swap I am guessing you went with the L CV sha...

Sam, would it have been possible to turn out a recess on the pulley to take the 36-1 sensor wheel? I was thinking if it was a flywheel tooth job, maybe cut out half of required teeth opposite side to starting bash side - not counted the teeth yet. Be a good trivia question at a subie club night :) B...

ah yes, the old EJ don't quite fit under the MY bonnet theory, something I did not discuss with the owner of a lower than standard Brumby with factory wheels and suspension who just had an EJ turbo stuffed in there and no tell tale inside ding marks on the bonnet. Another thing about MY with EJ box,...
