I read an old post on replacing the center cap with an Avanti emblem - I think Gunslinger posted to buy the Magnum center caps and replace them with Avanti emblem. Can you tell me how this is done? And is it a particular emblem of the red and blue studebaker S I see on several sites?
Thank you

The play is enough that there is about a two inch lag when you turn the steering wheel then it seems to catch and all feels fine. It has loosened up over time.

My 83 has a little play in the steering wheel, any way to tighten it up?
Thanks

Mike Sal my 69 color was called Metallic Bronze if I remember correctly which was essentially a chocolate brown metallic - I was told when I was out there and toured the factory you could customize any color and interior unless Altman thought it was not appropriate - on the line was a taxi company owners taxi cab yellow car and a used one there was metallic silver with a navy blue suede interior and that was beautiful

Thanks everyone I had a 1969 that I bought from the factory in 1973 but this is an 83 and whoever had it did some strange stuff so I agree that originality is out the window if need be so I have no problem with new alternatives - thanks for the suggestions...

Does anyone know who might carry the interior chrome / plastic trim for the front door panels that separates the top leather from the pleats? Dan Booth is going to check when he gets back from South Bend for me but he is not sure he has any.
Thank you.

Thank you both for the reply. Fender seems strong in general but very thin. Thanks. Rear fenders are normal.

My 83 came with a new 350 engine and new front end I have 15 inch tires but I noticed the front fender wells have been shaved off so there is no lip like around the back wheels - any reason someone would do this? Is the wheel well now weaker? There is no overseeing of anything.
Thanks

The mechanic is telling me that back in the day the emergency brake was designed to stop the car from moving forward not backward - is this true?
Kevin

Thank you both per the invoice they replaced the speedo seal I am told it is a GM transmission don't know how old but a new engine was placed in this car (350) before I bought it. I will pass this on to them - do you think I need a new transmission or can other parts be replaced to facilitate the repair
Thanks very much for the help

My transmission seal keeps leaking after four attempted fixes any ideas? I don't know what kind of transmission it is so I am not much help. I am told it's a leak in the seal. They supposedly put a new upgraded one in but still leaking.
Thank you

I have had my emergency brake in for service three times and it always seems to work once and then fails. The first two times it worked for reverse but not forward now it works forward and not for reverse. Someone told me the brake cable has to be disconnected then the brake adjusted then the cable re-attached?
Any a device would be appreciated. Thanks

Do you have to take off the front bumper to get the three rubber pieces off? Also one side seems to have more space between the chrome bumper and the body than the other -is this a simple adjustment? It is noticeable at the two side rubber pieces where y o u can see the bolt on one piece but not the other.
Thanks
