The vent loop you are describing vents the tank to the outside. Pb

I thought the hole was there for fuel lines but it never got used. I guess it was used as a vent for the tank but ended up rusting the tank out and the rear seat. I would think a watertight vent would be a good idea. Pb

I did many years ago, it seemed fine. Unfortunately the completed dash is still sitting under my bed waiting installation but the pad went on quite well. Certainly less flexible than the new ones. Pb

Front coil spring.

Not yet, still working on my original car first. Hopefully I will get a chance soon. Have you made any progress?

Having a Hawk and a Champ I would have to think the Avanti although I'm not sure what a Lark custom is. No windows or bows etc to pull out. Pb

You could cut down a Lark one or are they different. Pb

Loosen the 6 bolts where the hinge attaches to the door and slide it back. Hopefully there is enough movement left in the captive nuts to get the door where you need it. Pb

Grab an Avanti 2 door as well, I'm sure they are heavier.

I thought I heard of one using a Nissan leaf

A different spec auto gearbox? Not sure what the difference was. Pb

Or double sided tape?

LS motors have been installed. I'm going to attempt one soonish. You will need motor mounts to place the engine in the right location . I believe people have used hooker headers (rear dump) to clear the steering box and you need a rear hump sump which Holley and others do. I have heard that the gearbox fit can be an issue for some but not others so I'm not sure what to do there yet but I'm going to try a 4L60e. If you have Facebook (Avanti swap page) there is a fellow selling his Ls swapped Avanti. Its rough looking but he might have some answers. Pb

I thought it was around 12mm. I will check when I get home but it won’t be for a couple of weeks. pb ps I’m trying to get some made up for my seats as well. pps do you have the chrome pieces the hidem slots into ? That would be the width you need.

Heater core ?

I thought you could still buy these new from SI .

Shall do Steve, l happen to be in Victoria at the moment holidaying.

Thanks

Thanks Do you remember how much the hog troughs were ? peter

Does anyone know if Olympus Avanti has an email address? Thx Peter
