Avanti Seal!

[mfg]

The original factory accelerator pump seal (for Studebaker Avanti R2 carbs) has not been reproduced....True?

I'll take a shot at this and say true, since I would think that the current offerings (for example: https://avantiparts.biz/accelerator-pump-seal-r-2-avanti-lark-hawk/) are of a better design and material.

I thought the R2 seal was the same as the Edelbrock marine carb seal.

However not original...the answer here is FALSE!

Yes, there are a few different solutions for sealing the accelerator pump shaft on an R2...however, according to a very well respected Avanti carb rebuilder (NOT ME!!) the original seal has not been reproduced....Ed

So, if the original style has NOT been reproduced, then your original question you posed is TRUE (like I said)!
