I have no experience in the area and would have no idea sorry.

If you post a photo here maybe a more clever person can help us work it out. Which measurements to check etc.

If we can't work it out online it's not like I'm too far away. If needed I could meet you sometime and see if it fits.

G Day Penguin.

I'm just down at Bemboka. Don't want to take the lot sorry but maybe the lights in case I need them later... (hoping I don't ...)

Interested in the bullbar also. Any way of telling if it is for an L ?

Health and tools (lack of each) preclude me from doing it myself.

This done now by the town mech. Thanks for the help. Most expensive bit of the job by far was the Pedders parts esp after they added 'freight' cos I don't live right next to one of their shops. Generic steering boot used fits over the Pedders bit with a little clipping on the hole at the top of the ...

At least the seller is treating the OP right so might not be fair to Name and Shame them.

Bit worried cos I just got an Ebay one put in. OK so far.

For me, what makes the Brumby unuseable is what a lot of others like. That's the size. Too small for me. A good guide would be getting the bike in the ute not hanging off the back.
I just want a 4wd lo-rise (not 4x4 SUV truck) full size Ute.

Glass not removed seeing as it's my road car. Your link just confirms what I'm worried about. Can't send it away on a truck like you did 'til I can afford to buy another car, which isn't now. Not in a position to put metalwork in myself and don't want to have to pay panel shop to start from scratch,...

Dead Womble threw my L wagon sideways off the dirt road. Came over a crest. Big dead womble was in the centre erosion gully I was already straddled. BANG. Then I'm sliding along off the side of the road. Plenty of space off the side of the country road thankfully. Rejoined road and Subie was fine. W...

Windscreen Rust Repair panels available ? (L Wagon)

Hi Guys, Looks like this windscreen/A pillar (etc) rust is a common problem, so am wondering if there is a rust repair panel available from anywhere. (Or maybe someones got some good ones they chopped out of a car that I could buy.) Found an old thread where Celtic Warrior Steve did some for the pre...

Thought these were taken ?
Are they clean and complete ?
Both mine have larger or lesser cracks so if these are better I'm in.
If you're willing to pack, I'll pay post to NSW.

OK, sounds like a few options.
... and if the shroud has parted from it's top washer... ? is it permanent or can be reattached ?
I'm keen to have something covering the shiny shaft to keep grit out of the shock but mech says it's not important !?

standby Steptoe for some silly questions. Went to the town mech today and he had no idea about this, which was strange cos he is old school and these have been around for years. Maybe they just don't break often. Anyway... can you please confirm that we use the old gaitor/boot with the new pedders p...

We have a town mech (but no petrol). He will do the CV so maybe he can get the bump stops and do that for me too now that we have the part number.

Kept my face also when I was young and ignorant and took the top wishbone off a Holden front end. Spring ended up behind me . Don't know how.

Oh, didn't go to any effort for you, was just in my travels :) Even better. When I have bought new rears also had to buy the bump rubber cushions as an extra. Looks like that wasn't done in this case. Used to have a part number for Mr Pedders , his site works well and number can be found in thereor...

Car got new shocks just before I got it 30k KM ago. Nothing else renewed I suppose.
Might take me a while to check it out properly. Am too crook to even go outside today, and the CV comes first too.
Thanks for having a look.

Sorry , totally ignorant about what this means. Don't understand the Farcebook page either.

"Megasquirt" ?
Is that extra goodness for the Injected EA82 then ?
Not the carby version ?

Will have a look at steering rack boot thanks.

Original sleeve fallen down. Rubber top stuffed. (That's why they have dropped).
