Had the Scooby up on the 4-poster today doing the Oil Change.

Thought I would do a quick pre-MOT check over it .... all ok, but the backbox (the standard pea-shooter, 6 years old and 66,500miles under its belt) looked like it was corroded badly.

I pulled back some rusty pieces expecting a hole to appear, but, no - another bright steel layer lay underneath .... cleaned it up with a wire brush and its fine and dandy, no leaks at all.

Now the question, how many layers of steel sheet does the Subaru Standard Backbox consist of??

Pete

 

just get a fat backbox and get it over with

 

Dont know.....but if you need another one you can have mine FOC.

Its done 8000Mls and trips me up in the shed..

 

I thought you were going to get a Prodrive backbox?

 

Bagsy it first... where do I pick it up?

 

Damn, too slow.

Oh well, I'll just have to keep welding old baked bean cans together

 

2 layers, like many OE boxes. Helps keep the noise in, and give extended life.

 

the opposite to pete, in fact !!!

Dazza

 

You want one? I've got a standard one in my loft, that I don't really want anymore

 

Must be a bit worrying for you Pete.. might have to start changing your back box at a similar time to your brake pads!!
I think i might have a spare original backbox somewhere.. I'll have a look and if anyone wants it they can have it for the price of postage or pick it up for free

 

Any Standard pea shooter backboxes for free in the Basingstoke area???

Pete

 

I'm next door but one to Basingstoke and I do have a standard one

but I ain't selling it

 

You misunderstand me ........... I said FREE!!!!

Pete
