Gunslinger Posted August 23, 2020 Report Posted August 23, 2020 At RQ-B2263, Avanti Motors changed from the original under-dash parking brake pull-handle to one mounted in the former console. From where did Avanti Motors initially source the new handle from?

Avanti83 Posted August 23, 2020 Report Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) I'll say Willy's but you know I'll dispute 2263 is the first. Switched to, is probably a better term if none after were built with the under dash handle. Edited August 23, 2020 by Avanti83

Avanti Motors first used a handle from Willy's before switching to a C3 Corvette handle after several dozen Avantis were equipped with the Willy's brake handle. Edited August 23, 2020 by Gunslinger
