[In need of a Dana 44]

Cale... did you get sorted? I may be able to help.

 

[OUTSIDE REAR-VIEW MIRRORS]

If I am not mistaken, the window needs to open past 90 degrees in order to let air be forced into the car when at speed, thats what i was meaning.

 

[X-less Avanti!]

Probably a lark sedan frame.

 

[OUTSIDE REAR-VIEW MIRRORS]

Problem with door mount is the interference with the vent windows in front.

 

[Alternator and A/C brackets]

Ebay has many mounting plates for York to Sanden swap for little money and also no effort.  This one for $50

[Damaged Halibrand or Real Rodders Wheel Available]

Any news on these? I would be very interested for my 63. Estimate cost and timing?

[Power steering to Non Power conversion.. need parts]

I will go with the electric at some point.  Bought 4 new hoses, after a day of frustration with them not fitting, loosening up when moving and inaccessibility, we gave up.  Replaced the one leaking the most and reinstalled the other 3 old hoses.  The new hoses were too stiff to travel and would just move at the connection and loosen up with just a couple of test turns on the hoist.  Never again will I work on this power steering system.  Next repair will be the conversion. 

There is something to be said for modern tech!

This is how I converted my car from manual to electric power steering. I hope this helps.

EPAS is slick and will give you power steering like a contemporary car...but cha-ching $$. I had my steering system gone through and replaced a lot of worn out, or incorrect parts. It aint real power steering...just boost from the hydraulic ram. If you pull it out and go with manual steering, be prepared for a real good muscle workout. But you'll look really buff at the gym!

Ha ... that will be a bonus... i think epas is the way! getting rid of the power hydraulics will clean up the engine compartment a bunch though.

 

 

[Power steering to Non Power conversion.. need parts]

NTenna,

 

just wondering if you got my PM. Still want the steering bits. Keep well.

 

 

[Power steering to Non Power conversion.. need parts]

I am thinking that the Prius might be the way to go. However, I am still looking at all options. I will post whatever direction i take and appropriate photos and progress etc.

 

 

 

[Power steering to Non Power conversion.. need parts]

Thanks Mfg.. good to know, this reinforces the decision to EPAS the thing once Hydraulics are removed. So good to be on this Forum. 

 

Ntenna, I did pm you. Many thanks all.

[Power steering to Non Power conversion.. need parts]

I am looking to ditch the power steering system and install the non power  Pitman and drag link on my 63 Avanti. Need to source new or used. Will pay handsomely and  be VERY grateful. If this is not an option, I need to find a good Stude Mechanic in Dallas TX to rebuild the power system .  Thinking that the non power and if needed an EPAS conversion will be the right way to go..

 

Thanks All..

[57th Anniversary]

I think this is the best 1963 car i have ever seen... out of any and all cars!

 

[57th Anniversary]

Holy Mackerel Batman... that is freaking awesome!

I would sell the old set up. I am assuming that the 1980 Avanti II used the same brakes as the original Studebaker Avantis?

Do you have a price in mind incl shipping to Dallas TX? Thank you..

[Brake rotors for 1964 R1]

Pantera928... are you in the market to sell the old set? I am in need of a set of Hubs.. L and R. I am sure that shipping will be a pain though.

 

[New owner Texas]

Thanks to all who responded. Great information and resource!

[New owner Texas]

Avanti 83... many thanks for that. Quite a resource.. will study!

 

[New owner Texas]

Silverstude,  yes Sir .. just need set hubs that the rotors bolt to..

 

 

[New owner Texas]

Anyone know of any owner list in Texas especially the DFW area? Or a shop that will know about the vagaries of Avanti's? Looking for Front hubs for a start, and would like to have a source for parts at some point. Many thanks.
