    That is an amazing pic of how the "in grille" R3 Air Cleaner is supposed to be mounted! [^]

    In post #1 you see the special hole that engineering cut in the inner fender for the air cleaner to Blower hose to fit an R3 Avanti. []

    I have not figured out for sure what the hydraulic lines are, but must be Trans. Oil Cooler lines.

      You are right Rich. The lines go to the oil cooler which was a canister type.

        The hydraulic lines and the tank are for blower fluid supplied to the blower via electric fuel pump.

          I had pictures at one time of the supercharger cooling that Mr. Bove alludes to.
          The tank was unusual, it was spherical as I remember.

          sigpic 1963 Studebaker Avanti: LS1 motor and T-56 transmission have been moved rearward, set up as a two seat coupe with independent rear suspension. Complex solutions for nonexistant problems.
