My info indicates #3, but $63.00 is close enough!
$63.00 is not close enough, it is correct.
Your info is wrong.
My info is from Studebaker Sales Letter 190 , 1964 Avanti prices.

"Wire Spoke Wheel Discs", could be ordered as optional equipment on any 1964 Studebaker passenger car, including Avantis, for an extra......?.....
1) 37.25.......2) 56.50.....3) 68.00.....or....4) 74.55
None of the above for the Avanti.
For the Avanti it was a $63.00 option.

Not all 1964 Avantis had a chrome handle.
Early models had a white handle.
Chrome handles started with R-4878.

You have to remove the grille for the air intake opening.

Some interesting comments from an interview Dennis LeRoy had with Dick Passwater in 1998 about the #5 Bonneville Hawk.
The #4 and #5 Hawks were painted Avanti Maroon with painted white sport tops. Dick purchased the car to race in the USAC season. Dick contacted Studebaker that he had the car still painted with the Bonneville logos, except for having to change the number, and asked for some sponsorship. Being a native Hoosier, they could not turn him down. Studebaker sent him some cash and also some adapters for a dual caliper setup for the disc brakes. The car had an R2 in it when purchased and Dick’s shop made other race preparations to the car for the season.
The rest of the ’64 season he raced the car on other NASCAR and dirt tracks. The ’65 season saw the R2, which was a little tired now, replaced by a Pontiac engine. He said,” we painted the Pontiac engine black and put the Stude valve covers over the Pontiac valve covers and the opposition never knew the difference. We cheated back then and sometimes we got caught, but most of the time we didn’t.
At the end of the ’65 season, Dick sold the car to a racer in Texas and he heard that the man was killed in the car.

The wire on my '63 R1 alternator condenser came loose - what is a replacement, please?
That is a radio noise suppression capacitor.

Just received the latest email issue of AVANTI MAGAZINE (issue 193)...I notice that when I tried to look at the digital version it only let me see the first 4 pages. If I wanted to see the full version I had to pay $30.99. The email said the digital form was free. (The Avanti Owners Association International made our quarterly magazine available in digital form to all current members at NO ADDITIONAL COST.) Is this an error or something new?

New rubber formulation provides the softness of the factory originals (30 durometer) so they conform uniformly with the metal fastening ring and body.
The lip that extends to the body is designed, as the factory originals, to press against the surface giving a smooth, gap-free look.
For the first time ever, the ends have been thermally fused (not glued!) and result in a permanent bond that will not separate over time.

You could try an adhesive mount stud on your tank.
They are available form McMaster-Carr.
316 stainless steel studs have excellent resistance to chemicals and salt water and may be mildly magnetic. Large holes allow adhesive to flow through the base for a secure hold.If you are not concerned about authenticity you could replace your tank with a surge tank elimination kit available from Studebaker vendors.

.
The stud is not soldered to the tank. It is a weld stud.
The bracket is slotted and can be adjusted at the block to raise it so the tank will rest on it.
There should not be that much space between the bracket and tank.
-
This is what you need on the bottom.
Also the battery hold down and the power steering cover use wing nuts.
-
Most auto parts should have FEL-PRO.
I got this at ROCKAUTO.

So, are we ready to say UNCLE to this trivia question?
The answer was not intended to answer the trivia question.
It was for Paul who said he could not find the answer in the parts catalog.

In my Parts Catalog, dated July 1963, these are detailed on pages 152 (2101-76) and 153 (2101-168). Question: do either of your Avantis have a/c and is clip (illustration 2101-76, p/n 195407) used on the heater hoses at the front of the right-hand rocker cover?
If your car does not have AC just go by the photo that Brad posted showing the 195407 clip.

Thank you, regnalbob. My reference is to 2101-76, not 2101-168, in the Plate you attached. Thank you for your interest. I believe the "lacer" (spacer? - apparent typo) is a flat washer.
I know your reference is to 2101-76 which is the 195407 clamp.
You asked what the 526600X1 clip,lacer looked like and it is shown in the plate under 2101-168.
It is not used with the 195407 clamp.
There is no apparent typo as you believe and it is not a flat washer.

What does clip, lacer (spacer?), p/n 526600X1 look like?
Item 2101-168 is the clip and it is not used with the 195407 clamp.
The clip is used like a modern cable tie to hold items in place, mostly under the dash.
The 195407 clamp is available from vendors.
