Billy Shears Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Anybody know where I can get a wheel bearing dust cap for the Avanti? Studebaker International doesn't list one for that model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I believe it's a standard size cap available at most parts retailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Shears Posted July 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 Yeah that's what I thought too, until I bought one and found out it doesn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
64Avanti Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 They are more or less standard size. The bearings that Studebaker used are the same as, for example, some Chevy's and Fords. Therefore the bore in the hub is the same and therefore the caps will fit. You may find that the replacement caps are a little tighter than your old Studebaker dust caps.

Billy Shears Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 I found the ones off of earlier Studebakers will fit. These are of a standard diameter, same as some Chevy's and Ford's. Doesn't mean they will fit though. The diameter might be the same, but the Avanti's spindles were too long to let the first cap I bought fit on.
