Hi all
Does anyone have rear discs for a brumby for sale and power steering parts or can head me in the right direction to chase some up and I know this is the wrong place but anyone know a good Subaru engine rebuilder on or around the Gold Coast
Thanks

Re the engine rebuild, you could try perFOURmance motorsports at Slacks creek 3808 4244 or Scorpion Subaru at Capalaba or I have a very good running 2nd hand complete ea81 for sale, (still in the car so you can test). PM if interested.

I might have a Liberty rack that has been modded to fit a Brumby. Will have to pay for postage from Geraldton WA though and it may not fit AusPost limits so will have to be couriered. If you can wait 5 weeks I am going to Perth and can courier from there for about $10 probably. Let me know if your interested.

Thanks for the replies to my question. Will follow up these sources of info. Niterida thanks for the offer looks like I've sourced one local. Appreciate everyone's response.
Plenty more questions to follow from a newby suby owner.

my brumby has rear disc setup from a L series Turbo, apparently the upgraded L series brakes bolt straight up, i can't confirm that though

Thats correct, otherwise it is the 5 stud XT6 setup or the brand that can't be named 5 stud setup.

$700 .. sweet zombie jesus. I thought $500 was steep. Make sure they're from a 4wd Vortex not 2wd...

Pretty much what I thought too!
I realise they are scarce but I would have thought less people actually need them these days!

Have to agree about price makes slotted and drilled front discs new pads new rear shoes adjusted properly and a fluid flush looking good on price the car has lasted 20 years with these brakes but will speak to them to see if price is a bit negotiable and thanks again for all the info
