Avanti Linkage!

Recommended Posts

During Avanti production, Studebaker added an item to the windshield wiper linkage to eliminate a potential problem.....What was that problem, and what was the added item?

The "L" brace on the wiper motor to the cowl into the rubber well nut?

That bracket may have been added during the production run....I really don't know.

However, the 'added item' we're looking for here actually generated a Studebaker service bulletin, and (HINT) was installed during production on and after 63R-3404.

The crank arm to motor shaft nut loosened.

An internal-external toothed lock washer was added under the crank arm retaining nut.  Besides being phased into production, it could also be added post production.
