Just a thought, it wouldnt be hard to repair the cut out with fiberglass. I would lay up several layers of glass on a flat surface, flat card stock coated in wax or packing tape. You can then cut out shape to fit and glass the piece in place, I have used this technique extensively on both my avantis. The photo shows where I used this technique to repair area where ft bumper mount goes thru body. Some idiot felt the need to cut it up in order to replace A/C hoses.

I tried to find an Avanti radiator on the kool radiator ebay site, no luck and no phone number to call, any suggestions? Guy

Please do, when convenient, much appreciated Guy

Thank you Mfg.

you dont have a hole like this?

Really, can anybody tell or show me the clutch linkage for Avant II, how you go from stude pedal to chevy clutch arm/bell housing.

My vent tube was rock hard and to touch it was to break it, I tried to replace it, had no success trying to get a looped piece of hose up in there. What I did instead was to use malleable copper tubing two seperate pieces, when I got them up to the access hole I used a short piece of rubber tube to make the u. It worked out fine, no need to sucure it as it cant move once the rubber tubing is on.

To hold padded fill neck cover in place, at least thats how both of my avantis are

Talk to Michael at Meyers Studebaker he has a 6 speed in his.

I would like to see how the clutch and throttle linkages were done on the later Avanti, did they have mechanical or hydraulic clutch? Throttle was it cable or rods/bellcrank?

The wood blocks under the sunvisors are spacers and are glued to the window frame, the block at the gas filler tube is also glued in place but its function is to give you something to put a screw into other than the filler neck.

You are lucky it came out easy, mine had to be cut with a utility knife along glass edge to get the rubber out of the way to remove glass and there was not any sealant, or butyl tape, the old seal was rock hard and cracked in the corners.

Its a double lip type seal like a VW bug windsheild it shouldnt need bedding or sealer if installed correctly.

Yes you are correct, as far as the instruments go, I loosened the dash,4 nuts underneath dash next to windsheild and 2 bolts left and right side next to doors holding metal crosspiece, once free I was able to pull dash back enough to access backside of gauges,

Obviously clips have many applications, the first post showed an SI listing for dash clips and they are indeed used for that purpose.
