Boss Kits

Post by xaymaca » Fri Dec 02, 2005 7:14 pm

Here's the deal. I ring Autobarn and ask for a Boss Kit for an '87 Brumby.

The guys tells me he has several choices.

-Up to '84 Autotechnica Part #910
-'85+ Autotechnica Part #908 (said something about the listing saying course splines)
-Station wagon Autotechnica Part #907

Now after reading another thread about Autobarn sucking a lot, do any of you guys have the box to your boss kit lying around you could get me the part number for?

Or tell me where you got your and what you asked for would be fine too!
'87 Targa Brumby
'83 Sherpa

No doubt I will hear cries of foul - when I write this but I will anyways. My suggestion is to steer (dumbass pun unintended) clear of Autotecnica for their boss kits - we got in two different ones (same kit) for my car and they both cracked when we put them on.

No doubt other people have had better luck with them. I ended up going a Saas boss kit on mine. If the Brumby is the same as MY it will be a Saas BK121L. You can go to http://www.saas.com.au if you want to be doubley sure

My bes be is that It will be the up to 84 model, #910.

Parts catalogues are written by idiots. They would have taken their Leone listing and duplicated it across to Brumby, not realising that the Brumby's never had an L series phase.

The guys at my work are always getting caught with this. Today we sent a set of EA82 ignition leads out to a mechanic with a Brumby on his hoist.

The worst Brumby muckup we had was a guy who asked for a performance clutch for his ute. Since the listed part wasn't stocked, we ordered one special for him from Adelaide. What turned up was a clutch to suit an EJ22. The catalogue listed the EJ22 as being the standard engine in the Brumby! There was a turbo listing too - for a 230mm pull clutch! EJ20T!

If you are as cheap as me, just cut up the old steering wheel with a grinder and drill the appropriate holes to mount the new wheel.
