Looked into it and the difference is the smaller one is to be used if you leave the original outer steel sleeve from the OE factory rubber bush in the control arm, The Larger size is if you fully removed the factory bush including the outer sleeve.

That I think is where the confusion arises.

That is annoying! I know only too well this pain, I went through the same thing with front LCA bushings. I found with them there were 2 different sizes with the smaller diameter being on earlier models. Maybe it is the same with the rears, might be worth checking the Nolathane website because they ...

I posted this up in the Cars seen for sale thread, But I recon most would agree this would be the best thing you could do for your Subaru today, In many cases replace it with this Gem or at least add another to the stable. http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ferntree-gully/cars-vans-utes/1984-subaru-leon...

Looking good Sam, I was lucky enough to buy two of them from Supercheap about twelve months back for $40.00 each because they had them for just over a $100.00 each and couldn't sell them. I had looked at them for a while and when I decided to get one my local Supercheap had no stock left, I got the ...

Would be very interested in the LSD & radiator. I'm also often going up the Pac Hwy to SE Qld, so if someone wants something transported, could work out something. I've seen 2 spider manifolds with 3 pin TPS, though these were still using the original throttle body on earlier cars with "black" ECU....

Lights up road with that usual extra light of LED lights. Agree with tambox comment on it being a funny sort of light

Steptoe update your phone my new one takes awesome pics as you will see in some of my attachments

Not wrong about the XV ute concept and it seems that all the Manufacturers have forgotten just how popular things like Brumbies, Datto 1200's Chev Luvs and all the smaller name brand utes were. Whatever happened to targetting the Younger market guys not everyone especially younger tradies wants a Fa...

I won't rewrite all that I just wrote in the Conversions thread but instead link it and attach the Photo of my L series to Brumby Clutch Pedal and cable conversion as I think it is the best approach to the job as it manages to keep everything MM perfect to Subaru design criteria. http://ausubaru.com...

MY gearbox mounting rubbers, Modify MY steel mounts to suit the L 5 speed by elongating the holes which I did and then tigged the slots back into a hole again. Passenger side (LH) MY mount modify by making a pie shaped cut to the steel mounting for the five speed so the MY rubber mounting sits verti...

Best place I have found is Turner Driveshafts on Sydneys Northside been doing them for years and all the Mechanics I actually trust only use them. Seems they got onto ther OE suppliers in Germany, Italy Japan and Korea decades ago so they rebuild them with New OE quality CV's. The ones in My Brumby ...

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/ferntree-gully/cars-vans-utes/1984-subaru-leone-4x4-sports-wagon/1098092619 MY Sports wagon in Melbourne area 66,000 KM imaculate looking rig, Why restore when it's already done by the factory. They do not come up that often with this low a mileage so somebody in the ...

WRX utes yeah I understand but why hasn't somebody done an L series Wagon ute conversion yet, Cheap basis to start and the shape of the wagon should make a useful ute with a workable tray length. Sadly most modern cars if converted to a ute are so short in the tray it is more like reinventing the Su...

That is one sweet 77 Wagon, always remembered my Neighbours one and doing a clutch for him, Only Engine I have ever lifted out unaided by myself to do a clutch those early engines are so light. Definately get rid of the black and bring back the 70's Chrome look such a desireable and relatively rare ...

What no AC Bennie have the window winders fallen off and never been replaced in the last ten years or something. When it comes to in car cooling the three best things ever invented came out of the UK Land Rover tropical roof is number one Land Rover lift up vent panel below the windscreen is number ...

You can source full alloy radiators of Ebay in Australia and a brumby one is $159.00 some members in WA I believe may have used the same brand in an L series EJ conversion so some feedback on quality may be available. Most likely made in China for that price as something like PWR made in Queensland ...

Lookin' so much better Sam. That bonnet stay gonna see some yellow zinc plating at some stage ? Dare I mention the twin ports first turning - was the cause ever determined? Nearly went to buy one of those engine cranes some years ago, but walking up to an assembled one, wondering where it was gonna...

Not wrong about used car prices in South Oz, I know dealers in NSW who make a living just ferrying cars down there, Repair cost plus rego and the Green Slip scam in NSW means many quite OK easily fixed cars get scrapped. I remember working with a Mate in his servo about 6~7 years back and a tidy may...

The adjustable linkage is so I can make sure the length of the L series original lever will be correct so everything lines up perfectly to fit into all the original centre console. Regarding the modification to use the MV original transmission mounting yes you slot the mounts a lot more on one side ...

Pretty neat but I see potential parking issues let alone some pedestrian walking past getting taken out by those rear doors coming back out of ther blue boof, One down next sucker for future technology lessons. The Front doors open very wide and as everyone with a Coupe or Brumby knows long doors ca...

aha, what year model Suzuki GTi seats there coxy? I looked at some recent models expecting to see the entire seat and track lining up with Subaru Brumby mounting holes and things look very different :( Or is it that these seats fit the Brumby seat tracks ? My seats are just horrible and need an upd...
