mfg Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 The "L" brace on the wiper motor to the cowl into the rubber well nut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

studegary Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
