Hi, I have used now 4 years this. Still strong and very similar to original one. You can use Willard sticker instead of CAT. Studebaker Int. sells the sticker. https://parts.cat.com/en/catcorp/11R-2250

This is the gist of what I plan to lurk beneath the body. Never mind the factory blueprint measurements as some of those shall be changing.

There has to be a solution. New car dealers always try and push those extra packages before you get to the payment guy.. They definitely have something for the windshield that cuts down on the UV and lessens impact/chip of a stone and reduces the headlight glare...

Congrats!… I also own one of the rare ‘85’s…. However, I think that if your Avanti still had its internal serial number stainless steel plate on the ‘A’ pillar it would read…RQB 4152 (Not AAV)

thanks!

OK, i AM THE PROUD OWNER OF AAV-4152......bb

Hi Brooks- The Tee is meant to be a fuel tank drain but it gets pretty negative reviews on that subject. I think it is an NPT pipe plug 1/4" ... Common NPT Pipe Plug Sizes: 1/8" NPT: The nominal size is 1/8 inch, but the actual outer diameter of the threads is approximately 0.405 inches. 1/4" NPT: The nominal size is 1/4 inch, with an outer diameter around 0.540 inches.

Geeze I wish I could buy em for barely twelve bucks each - here 'down under' I was pleased to buy a pair for &95 incl post.

Gunslinger, thank You Sir....BB

There is likely a RQ number used internally by Avanti Motors. Probably the best way to get is to order a build sheet from Nostalgic Motors…that would have any internal accounting number on it.

Hello all, I s there a RQB # for a 1985 coupe VIN # 12AAV1238F1004152?

hey Bill, Thanks again for the lenses

Thanks to all ..... very kind

Thank you. Ordered the Anchor 2267. Because the new engine is on the stand, may as well replace the mounts. Looking forward to putting this puzzle back together.

RQB3263.,.... ALL THE HOSE AND TUBE FITTINGS IN THE PICS ARE -6 OR 3/8" AND USE AN 11/16 WRENCH ... KEEP IN TOUCH.... BILL IN FLORIDA

RQB3263...... -6 OR BETTER KNOWN AS 3/8" ATTACHED: PICS OF MY FUEL TANK SHUT OFF/ FUEL FILTER MOD I INSTALLED 10 YRS AGO ALL FITTINGS ARE -6 OR 3/8" SOME AIRCRAFT SOME SAE ....I REPLACE FILTER EVERY 3 OR 4 YRS....CHEV/GM FILTER FROM AMAZON FRAM G3727CS ... 21$ LOCATED RIGHT BELOW PASSENGER DOOR ..... WORKS GREAT

When new… definitely R-12.

Well, the fuel line itself is 3/8”… and the fittings are 9/16” (wrench size)

Thank you, was that using the R-12 Freon ?

Hello All, does anyone know what is the size of tee fitting in the fuel line between the tank and pump under the passenger's side?

If anyone does decide to push out the rear window… I’d order a weatherseal ahead of time The last Avanti rear glass I replaced ( I’ve done two) definitely needed a new weatherseal.

Side glass & 1/4 windows (and vent wings) should not be a problem… even for the home mechanic… however, the rear glass is something entirely different!

Wanted 2006 or 2007 owner's manual.

3.5 lbs is what my 82 held

Thanks everyone!
