Footer: Thanks! I just bought a set of door strikes from him. Don't know how I missed it.

I'm looking for a radio bezel. I have the carcass of an am/fm radio that was rebuilt with modern technology but the radio was missing the dash bezel. i have no idea if they were marked with part numbers but I think I'm looking for 1558985X1. any help locating one would be much appreciated. Mark

Looking for a Lo Tone horn to match my Hi Tone.

One thing threw me a curveball. On page 25 of the Electrical section of the workshop manual has a picture of a different horn. I'm assuming that everything was rush-rush in trying to publish a manual at the same time they were building a new car.

Thanks for your input. I think I found the answer in the parts catalog. it specs the Sparton horns.

The engine had a BIN of $14,500. I know the fellow selling it and he is a top-notch guy. What you were were looking at was a genuine Studebaker crate engine straight from the factory, or at least what was left of Studebaker, when it was sold. I wish I could buy it and store just as it is, a crated unused engine.

Sorry, don't know how recent this topic is, but a recent purchase has me scratching my head. The horn I received is an Auto-Lite model HW. The horn terminates in a triangle and one side of the horn looks like half of a grapefruit. Now working off the Authenticity manual I see nothing but Sparton horns that are relatively rectangular and flat AND receive the spade connector from the wiring harness. Is there some little known history to the Avanti??
