If the hoses are reversed, the power would go in the opposite way, right? Getting the hoses right is mind blowing. My system next to the car:

Good write-up, i'm considering doing the air by myself. This will help a lot!

Oh, year, right, did not find that before: https://www.parts123.com/parts123/dyndetail.pta?catalog=0001003a&uKeY=AADCL I'll give them a call as I have so called "saddle leather".

Hi Guy, You did a nice job with vinyl! Will you redo the seat too or have them done? I'm looking for one that can do my seats. But in Europe, this is impossible. So, now I'm trying to find an American that can make the covers that I can mount myself. I have the small, thin front seats like the early Avanti's have.

I think it is used to fix the padding above the side windows and the roll bar in the middle of the car. The suggestions above do not match with my findings in my '69 Avanti II

Thanks, did not have this. Now I do, who knows, might be handy in the future.

I did post the same question as you did without response. I live in europe so shipment is even more terrible. That's why I made one myself. Not many will see the difference. With a template (the old bezel) and some nice material, it's an easy job.

I've made one myself from an old aluminium suitcase:

I'm in the Netherlands with my '69 Avanti II.

Just curious, will it fit? A SMB into a Studebaker Avanti? If it does, I would like to lower the front of my '69 Avanti II. About the camshaft; been there. Replaced the shaft and lifters.

Oke, made a faceplate form an old suitcase. Done!

Bought a Frankfurt, produced in 1968. Perfect for my 1969 Avanti! It is the EU version but was cheap (and I live in Europe 🙂 Still need a faceplate. Someone?

Hi, I would like to own the original radio that came with my car: the Blaupunkt Essen FM/AM. Does anyone has one laying in their garage? I would like to know. Should look like the picture. Thanks, Kodjo

Great find! I think most of us did it this way. The manual is plain stupid on this point. I would like to see photos of the end result. My door rattles even with a new rubber.
