thevut Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 Has anybody ever put a tilt steering wheel in a 63 avanti ?
arkus Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 put one in my '64, same difference. had it made by IDIDIT to duplicate the attachment points and size of my standard column, but to accept the stock wheel. they had to specially change the spline section where the wheel attaches. not cheap, but a great job. other option is to find an early ll to pirate, probably not cheap either and you have a nearly 50 year old column.
Paul K. Posted January 18, 2016 Report Posted January 18, 2016 Avanti IIs used an AMC tilt column which was actually a GM part. it is wider than the Studebaker column. Its not a hard swap but you will have to either make the steering column cutout larger on the dash gauge panel or replace the panel with one from an Avanti II.
abasile Posted February 2, 2016 Report Posted February 2, 2016 The tilt wheel used in the Studebaker Avanti is a Delco part that was used in certian Chevys of the same era. They are very rare and hard to find. We cover this with photos and a part number in the soon to be available Authenticy Manual. I don't have the time right now to start sending out photos from the manual. Job #1 right now is to get the book done. Al Basile
rbk Posted February 21, 2016 Report Posted February 21, 2016 What did Avanti do with the dash panels of the few 1964 Avanti cars with factory installed tilt columns? Robert Kapteyn
