Zach Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 Ok, so my grandpa gave me his avanti after many years of me begging him to get it working. The body's in the back yard behind his sheds and the engine is in his garage. We're going to have to move it pretty quick, but the passenger door striker is gone so we'd have to strap it shut. Or i could just get a new one. Anybody have any idea where to get one? I've looked everywhere but...Is the striker the same in all of the studebakers from that time period or is the avanti's exclusive? Anyone have a spare they can sell me?
Gunslinger Posted February 16, 2009 Report Posted February 16, 2009 I don't have a spare, and as far as I know, it wasn't used in any other Studebakers. There are some Avanti vendors who may be able to help you. Check Myer's Studebaker and Nostalgic Motors, as well as Studebaker International. You might also check some vintage Mercedes parts suppliers...the door locks were adopted from Mercedes and may well be interchangeable.
