  1. Hey there. Anyone have pictures of the steelrubber trim installed? Would be great to get a visual of what was trimmed off. thanks
  2. Very cool. Where did you find the pocket? I’ve recently been thinking about building a space for a popup hidden stereo/screen in that area. I really want to update the og am radio but I love the aesthetics of it so hiding a modern radio is my next route… after more important items on my list
  3. In this thread you can see some picts and other info of leds that I used. They work really well. https://aoai.org/forums/topic/43270-fuel-gauge-wires/
  4. Felt a clunky clunk last night and this am. Jacked up the car to see this broken bracket. With google search I came across this fresh post on another forum. Going to give it a go with over the counter parts. https://studebaker-info.org/Tech/SOB/sdc45279.html
  5. Excuse my naïveté but does anyone know the torque spec on the front wheel bearings? I’m just plane missing it in the fsm
  6. Thanks for the info. I’m sure when I read through the manual and get a visual on things it’ll make sense. I also ordered some fresh A arm bushings, while I’m there sorta thing
  7. So after bearings, bell crank and tie rods…it had been a couple months, I took the car in for alignment. The shop wouldn’t align the car as the play in the wheels top to bottom. The play wasn’t there before so now I’m guessing the king pins are worn. Going to double check the bearing torque again. Anyway, was just going to buy the entire king pin replacement and swap them out with direction of the fsm. Is there anything I should know about that the fsm or what the fsm won’t tell you manual doesn’t mention? thanks!
  8. Went for it. If anyone in the future runs into this situation, yes the solid red wire is the correct wire. Brake lights work again.
  9. I’m putting in a mechanical switch for the brakes. Reading the “what the shop manual won’t tell you” says “splice another wire into the red with white tracer coming out of steering column and take the other end to mechanical switch” I have no red with white tracer there. Only red. Safe to assume that the red is what should tap into?
  10. I remember reading some post I came across that mentioned studebaker had side visors, similar to the normal windshield visor but, well, mounted on the side. Fwiw
  11. Okay deleted some picts in my past threads. See if that works…
  12. My seats were the original seats and vinyl. The dye from the seats was migrating off the seats with every drive in the summer heat. The outside corners of the seat were splayed open, dry and aged. Originally I found some leather and textiles from Relicate leather that were intended to replace the og upholstery. The summer sun was heating up the vinyl to intolerable temps for the wife and kid so I decided to go cloth centers. The upholsterer I found suggested using some dead stock from 1965 and some vinyl he could source to match closely. Both options ended up saving me quite a bit of cash. I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out and his work is really nice. I’d love to post some picts but with a limit of 5kb that seems near impossible.
  13. A couple days ago I noticed the passenger side window has a hard time rolling. It will bind. This is a manual window by the way. Looking down into the door cavern while attempting to roll the window up I can see the arm that attaches to the rear of the track seems to pop inward after a turn of the handle. I’ve taken the door apart in the past but was hoping I could find a diagram before I start removing things. Maybe have a part or two on hand and ready, being this is my current daily driver. Thanks in advance.
  14. Thanks for confirming. I gave the watch repair guy all that info.
  15. I have a 1970 Avanti ii and currently the clock is at the watch repair shop to get working again. The fella seems to have the mechanical side sorted but was curious if I knew the specific amperage and voltage would be. Said he doesn’t want to over do it on the clock. Any one her know specifics? I didn’t see anything in the shop manual beyond the fuse number
