L series into brumby

Post by Mitchhsj » Sat Jan 12, 2013 9:54 am

Hi guys and gals... I have an l series I'm in love with and has grown on a few mates to love it enough to get subarus themselves :) my best mate has just got himself a little stock red brumby and we have big pland for it I just have a few questions for you experts out there.. I have a few spare l series for parts.... Will a l series diff and 5 speed bolt straight to the brumbys ea81? Also I have a 3 inch complete lift kit for a my wagon in the shed will this fit on The ute? Looks like it will but if and one knows that would be great.??? Will the l series dash and seats fit? ... Also if any one has parts for brumbys that lives around the Sunshine Coast let me know because we may need some.. Oh also the complete cv shafts? Are they the same? That's guys :) Mitch

some of the parts will fit but the front suspension blocks are different "l" series has 3 bolt holes brumby aka MY/MV has 2 bolt holes.

Dash won't fit unless you cut it up, seats will fit with some modification.

CV outers on the L shafts are different carby inners should be the same as the inner MPFI and turbo inner cvs are different.

Again Mitch, the search function is your friend about the hub thing.

The dash board won't fit but the instrument cluster will going by 60766244's converted brumby:

L series seats fit but I've heard of them placing the driver too high, don't quote me on that one though!

Not sure about Brumbies but when I put L series seats in my wagon they were 20mm too low...needed to put square tube between the seats and slide rails. And it's a pain to get them to fit.
Will it ever end!?

if you have my lift kit should go in my brumby, yes use search please becaus so much detail in there for you. L front shafts are longer in shafts themselves but search bluesteel and brumberty and you will learn how to make them fit with L lower control arms and modified radius rods from falcon.

there is a shipload of 5 speed into my/brumby stuff
