  1. Today
  2. I am looking for an air cleaner base for an R1. I have the top, just need the base. Car has an edelbrock and I want to put the original crb back on it. Previous owner did not save the carb base. Thanks
  3. I placed them on the right & left rails with the front contact points landing at front connections of the "X" frame. This helped to ensure that the quick jacks were relatively straight. I have the 7000TL and I used 1 LG + 1 SM rubber blocks at the contact points. At the 1st locking point on the Quick Jacks I had enough room to scoot under the car on my creeper to check out my power steering system in search for a leak that seems to have disappeared ....
  4. Yesterday
  5. Anyone know what the correct width of the factory Hidem Gimp/piping is for these seats? Thanks.
  6. I have Quick Jacks as well and curious what points you ended up using? Thanks!
  7. You're just five away from having a different Avanti for each day of the week 😉. That black beauty is drop dead gorgeous....congratulations!!
  8. Neat! Never heard of them, I'll look them up. I put two clamps on, got NAPA clamps, couldn't even find GATES, no coolant came out as before. Fingers crossed.
  9. Google "Gates Heat Shrink Radiator Clamps". They work like shrink tubing. They will shrink to whatever shape you have. That's the good news. I have used them and I like them. I have no leaks! The bad news is they are pricey, and a one time use. Add to that ,when you need to remove them, you should have their special tool, or you will cut the hose in the removal process. Ask me how I know.

  10. Shall do Steve, l happen to be in Victoria at the moment holidaying.
  11. Excellent condition, no leaks, no issues. $200 includes shipping within USA.
  12. Hi Peter- I recently Fitted Classic Enterprises Kit under my '81 in Stainless Steel. There is no requirement to cut away any Fibreglass with this set. I used an importer to bring these over with his other freight and saved a heap of money. Call me if you wish.
  13. Last week
  14. The passenger side is done. It came out very nice, and window slides easily. The old adhesive was terrible to remove. Combination of scraping, sanding, abrasive pad, (all the while being careful not to wreck the stainless-steel beads). Also, every chemical that I own. By the way, none of the chemicals did much at all. 2 different adhesive removers didn't touch it.
  15. Fourward: the lip or "ridge" is a "blow off lip". The clamp (in theory) goes on the radiator side of the lip to prevent the hose from blowing off the radiator if you have a pressure build up. The lip is there to prevent the clamp and hose from sliding off the pipe.
  16. I just bought two new clamps. I will do that. Do you put the hose on short of that lip...ridge... on the intake pipe? Because right after that the pipe is not really round, it has a build up of metal, or a portion of the radiator infringes on the pipe. If I put the hose on smooth pipe, short of the ridge, and two clamps? Will try this afternoon.
  17. You guys with your talk and photos of the 2001-2007 cars got me going. The photos of Randy's sharp 2006 coupe doesn't do it justice as his car is fabulous in person. The one photo shown (next to the black 2002 Convertible) was at an EyesOn Design car show a few years ago. We had a 14 vehicle Time-Line (1963-2006) that was a big hit at that show. I had my gold '71 there at the other end of the line-up. I just bought a 2002 Avanti Convertible. Like aardvark said in another topic, he was awaiting delivery. That's where I am right now. I just can't wait to see my new (new to me too) car. It's in Boise. Sure hope that it ships soon. Now my '71 will have a stablemate. Won't be soon enough for me. Life is too short ..... drive an Avanti !
  18. I purchased them in Jan 2022 for $1332 including shipping to FL. The ones he is selling are one piece galvanized. Had to cut away more of the body than I would prefer, but they fit well.
  19. Thanks Do you remember how much the hog troughs were ? peter
  20. I am not a big fan of this approach, but I have used it successfully on some pre-war (WWII) cars with badly corroded aluminum water pumps. Coat the pipe on the radiator with a light covering of black silicone (RTV) and then install the hose. The silicone "gasket maker' will fill in any deviations in the seal and you will have no leaks.
  21. 63 R1 Avanti. Has anyone installed a lower radiator hose recently? I know this sounds stupid but I cannot clamp it so it stops leaking. Anyone have any tips?
  22. Why not have yours rebuilt? Any used Powershift is likely to require the same.
  23. I'm restoring my 63 R-1, and it looks like the tranny needs replacing. Wondering if a good used one is out there.
  24. Do not have email address for him. However, phone is 865 908 6100 and address is: 1081 Rule Hollow Rd Sevierville TN 37876. I purchased some hog troughs from him a couple of years ago.
