wheel specifications and demensional measurements
mfg replied to Brooks Barnes's topic in 1984-91 Avanti
Steel spare wheel….2 3/4” -
I’d go with P205/75R-15 …. The front suspension under your ‘63 Avanti first came out in ‘51, and was initially designed for narrower tires. Your Avanti will steer easier with the 205’s, and chance of tire rub against the fiberglass fenders will indeed be lessened!

Congratulations!… your’s is one of the most gorgeous Avantis I’ve ever seen…. R2 four speed to boot!!!!

There is a gorgeous white ‘63 round lite Avanti a fellow from New Hampshire used to own, which was restored to original condition a few years ago including its original t-86 three speed manual transmission….. However, I would bet the majority of Stude Avantis built with a three speed manual trans have been converted to a four speed trans over the years.

Good point…. Impressive job!
-
Wow!!!
-
I agree with you!…Perhaps just a magazine error.
-
Back seat is Avanti Only… most likely made in house.
-
Interesting!… and is he only speaking of four speed equipped Avantis?… How about the rare three speed manual models?
-
I understand what you mean… but on the other hand why wouldn’t the author simply have stated ALL Avantis were dyno tested before shipment? It puzzles me why he specifically wrote “ manual transmission equipped Avantis!”
-
Good idea to re bleed the system, but to tell you the truth I highly doubt there is any air trapped inside that junction block.

Can’t accept this info until that PO is posted. (Just being cautious, considering my past experiences with this forum member)

Interesting comment! As far as this trivia question goes, according to the article about Elmer’s ‘63 Avanti… only manual transmission equipped Avantis were tested on the rollers at Studebaker… If that is correct, the answer to this question is True.

Yes, Avanti Gold R1 Four speed… Elk/Fawn interior.

Sure sounds to me like the pushrod is still to short… I would try lengthening it more, regardless if it begins pushing m/c piston in upon installation.
