WANTED: Power booster for AVANTI R1, model 1964, R4754

[Paul Manders]

I'm looking for an Avanti Power Brake Booster, new or rebuildable for my 1964 Avanti R1, R4754. Mine came with an unknown booster in the trunk, not an Avanti, which doesn’t fit. Live in The Netherlands. All costs will be paid in advance. E-mail address = 2b-ornot-2b@kpnmail.nl

Hi, Paul,

Did you find a booster?  I may have one; not sure at this point.

I don't know if there are any rebuilders in Nederland or Europe, but there are in the U.S.  Stephen-Allen's in Florida and Studebaker International in Indiana (& probably others) sell them, but require a rebuildable core in hand before they will ship a rebuilt booster.  I bought a rebuilt one from S-A and it works well and looks good.

If I, or someone else, come up with a core, I assume that either SI or S-A will ship to you.  The rest is obvious.

I'll let you know if I find one here.

Dear Dwight,

I haven't found a booster yet. If you still have one, I'd be happy to buy it from you.

I've already purchased many missing parts from Stephen-Allen's and Studebaker International. I prefer to send the booster to Studebaker International, as I can also order other missing parts.

Like to hear from you.

Regards, Paul
