mfg Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 Hood support brackets on all Studebaker Avantis were the same, although on 'square light' cars these brackets were moved from the left to the right inner fender apron....True?
plwindish Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) My understanding is that the hood support was moved to the other side with the Avanti II production. Edited October 14, 2014 by plwindish
garyc Posted October 14, 2014 Report Posted October 14, 2014 There were many updates made when the August '63 production started. The hood support and new smaller battery were two of them. Access to the battery was made simpler by putting the hood support on the right side.
mfg Posted October 14, 2014 Author Report Posted October 14, 2014 All true!...but was the bracket itself the same....whether left or right side mount?
garyc Posted October 15, 2014 Report Posted October 15, 2014 The right side was longer and mirror image I think.
mfg Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Posted October 15, 2014 The right side was longer and mirror image I think. CORRECT!...the hood support bracket made for right side mounting was/is considerably longer.
