mfg Posted October 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 studegary says False,......Any other thoughts on this question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r1lark Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Well, I was going to weigh in on this, but decided against it when I saw that Gary said false. Gary has forgotten more about Avantis than I know, for sure! But..........assuming the '67 Avanti was using a Dana 44 with flanged axles (like the R3 Avantis received?), and seeing that the disc brake rear drums and the drum brake front drums were the same diameter........I'll go out on a limb here and say true.

studegary Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 They are the same diameter, but for some reason I was thinking that the working area (lining width) was different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfg Posted October 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 They are the same diameter, but for some reason I was thinking that the working area (lining width) was different. Pretty sure that lining width is the same on both Gary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Thanks for the correction and information. Please do not assume that I have all of the correct answers. I know that there is much that I do not know about Avantis. In general, I just answer here and on the SDC Forum with what is in my head and is retrievable at the moment. .
