I read somewhere where an owner replaced the end of the ram with a heim joint. Since I just lowered the engine in my 63, I'm sure I'm about to run into the same problem when I reinstall the bell crank and pivot.

I like your bracket, but I notice that the positive battery terminal is awfully close to the aluminum bracket. If the positive battery clamp (cable end) were to touch the aluminum bracket then the bracket would be hot. The bracket may not touch ground anywhere, but I still wouldn't want that bracket to be hot for safety reasons. One solution would be to use a type 51 (not 51R) battery. That would reverse the terminals, and the positive terminal would be to the front of the car and far away from the aluminum bracket. The positive battery cable would have to be longer, however (& the neg. cable could be shorter). --Dwight

I’ve seen Avanti frames with the front cross member dented in…so I’m saying it was acceptable to hammer the cross member in the right spot to make clearance. Using a higher engine mount would cause interference with the hood so the alternative is to put a dent in the cross member.

S I should have that cable & handle

Well without the air cleaner I'm going with #2. $250.00

Now that is FUNNY!!

I redid all the seals in my '69 Avanti II. No leaks except the hinge side of the doors. I applied the seals that are sold in the usual shops. On pictures on the internet, I see one mystery seal I do not have nor can find it anywhere. Does someone can give me more info on this part? Can I make it myself or buy somewhere? Thanks!

Ah ha!!….Well?…No!!!!!😧

Wow! I've never seen a brake booster deteriorate like that. I'm glad I live in a dry desert.

never. just sat outside for lots of years. It's for sale on FB Marketplace

How long was this Avanti under water?

No thoughts here?

The ‘rumor’ wasn’t 65!

A ‘worthy’ stab… but that’s not it!

Any Avantis for sale North Jersey?

I'll take a stab at #3 $325

Thanks much, Guy. Worked well.

Since you said a "rumor" I'm thinking it was a whopper of a rumor. My answer is 65!

Good ideas. I recently did a consignment with Gateway who sold the car and yes, I couldn't sell it during the contract period without them. My thoughts were to get the consignment dealer to list the cars with us in addition to the other methods that they use and get a fee for AOAI. Gateway uses several sites to list their cars already so I don't know if they would pay a small fee to add us, it's just a possibility. Providing links to other sales would be good for the users of this site, it just wouldn't bring in new members. Thoughts continue!
