Puffdaddy#1 Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 Seriously, what the heck is really on there,can a man go in and buy these things or does he have to hassel around and have them relined? Had somebody got this mail down yet?
studegary Posted January 9, 2020 Report Posted January 9, 2020 Not a direct answer to your question, but it may be related. I believe that RBQ 1898 is considered to be a 1972 model Avanti in the Avanti world. Perhaps your Avanti was first registered/titled as a left over and became considered, by the DMV, to be a 1973 when titled/registered.

Had somebody got this mail down yet? I'm going to post the complete listings from Bob Johnstones site that will include the rear brake pads for a 73 Avanti. It seems neither forum can seem to remember that Bob has compiled a tremendous resource that hardly ever seems to be used. PD, if you scroll through the Avanti section you will find a listing under 73 Avanti that says rear brakes. I'll add it here and welcome. https://www.studebaker-info.org/Avanti/Avtext3/73avrearbrakes.txt Bob's site https://www.studebaker-info.org/rjtechdec2017p1g.html#dunlopreb Bob Edited January 9, 2020 by Avanti83

adamderosa Posted January 10, 2020 Report Posted January 10, 2020 You should be able to find rear brake shoes at your local auto parts store; they are #228 and were common to many makes and models. . Tell them your looking for brake shoes for a '69 Chevy Caprice.
Steve_avanti Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 What year is that 69 Caprice part # good thru? I have a 77. Thx. Steve
Ned Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 #228 (Bonded) or #228R (riveted) are correct for a '77. That's the part number I used when I replaced them on my '77. Ned
Ned Posted February 9, 2020 Report Posted February 9, 2020 Rock Auto has the Bendix 228 part listed.... https://www.rockauto.com/en/parts/bendix,228,brake+shoe,1688
Puffdaddy#1 Posted April 14, 2020 Author Report Posted April 14, 2020 Yes indeed , those 228 shoes worked great, good advice thanks..
