Hi I just had two new front axles installed and the incompetent mechanic who installed them stripped the large nut that holds the axle into the hub. To make a...
Got one here from an '84 and one from an '86. Thinking that they're both good ones. Just to be sure we're both talking the same part here. It bolts onto the...

I thought the 86 and 87 Brats were fuel injected which bumped the horse power to about 92 hp. The 85 like mine, was the last year that a standard carb which...
It's a stock fuel pump, but it was pulled from an '82 Brat if memory serves. I assume they were the same? --Chris J. ... powerful, aftermarket unit ? If the...
Mine is definitely an '86 (according to the title and the quad headlamps) and it's definitely carbureted. I WISH it was fuel- injected, especially in light of...

Be careful what you wish for. I had a 1986 Gl-10 Wagon with turbo. I liked the car and the gas mileage, but when the turbo went it was a nightmare. It was...
