mfg Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Studebaker Avanti R4130 (The Egbert Avanti) has mostly all the 'Bonneville modifications' except for one rather major one.....Which mod is missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studegary Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 I will guess differential ratio since he would want a more streetable car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1963r2 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Air cleaner out the front or wasn't there water injection or something in one of the front wheel wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R4130 has the outside air intake.....Not sure about the 'water injection'...but neither would be the 'missing major mod'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobb284 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 (edited) Would it be that it didn't have the dropped spindles of the salt flat cars. That and no roll bar. Edited September 21, 2017 by grobb284 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grobb284 Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Have seen the roll bar/cage in #8. It is a very nicely fabricated assembly. Excellent welds, socket head cap screws for assembly, well fitted. It is a piece of art in itself for those that recognize what is necessary to accomplish that.
