Mark63Avanti Posted August 19, 2021 Report Posted August 19, 2021 I'm looking for a 160 speedometer for my '63 Avanti. If that's not possible I was wondering if an AUTHENTIC looking faceplate re-pop has been made?
64studeavanti Posted August 20, 2021 Report Posted August 20, 2021 Studebaker International has/had a replacement 160 mph faceplate listed.
1963r2 Posted August 21, 2021 Report Posted August 21, 2021 Fyi If your Avanti is an early r2 then it came with a 140 speedometer. Peter
Mark63Avanti Posted August 23, 2021 Author Report Posted August 23, 2021 I have an aftermarket Stewart Warner speedo and I suppose I would have been happy with it but it has no hi-beam indicator light! I believe I have sourced a 140 mph can but really want the original script on the Studebaker speedo. I didn't notice until recently that for both the 140 & 160 speedo, all the numbers follow each other around the dial except for the last numbers (140 or 160) which are turned in the opposite direction for easier reading, one would guess. The Studebaker International faceplate I see listed in the catalog looks nothing like the original which is ideally what I want.
1963r2 Posted August 24, 2021 Report Posted August 24, 2021 I have a spare 140mph speedo if you need one but I'm sure you could source one closer. pb
Mark63Avanti Posted August 24, 2021 Author Report Posted August 24, 2021 I saw where you're from. I certainly hope so
