1988 Avante bits FS/FT & WTD

[mongoose1983]

I have the following 1988 Avante bits for sale or trade. These parts are in very good condition:

• SB10 (left front gearbox joint)
• SB5 (rear propeller shaft)
• SB6 (front propeller joint)
• SB1 (rear wheel axle)
• SB1 (rear wheel axle)

I need the following 1988 Avante parts. I don't care if they're used, as long as they're not broken:

• SB8 (right rear gearbox joint/drive cup)
• SB12 (rear driveshaft)
• SB12 (rear driveshaft)

I still have these parts for sale or trade.

Oh, and for sure I'm still in need of those mentioned above They're the last parts missing so I can finally make my buggy run

 

 

[mongoose1983]

Still looking for these parts. Anybody interested in the ones I have? I would like to get my Avante buggy in running conditions.

Did you never considered the ReRe spare parts?

Hi Max, I sure did, but they are never available.

By now it seems to me the only way to get the job done is to buy a complete Avante buggy to take these parts off, which of course it's not something I am willing to do. You can always find spare rubbers, bodies, shocks, you name it, but halfshafts I have not seen in years for sale anywhere. As a matter of fact, I do remember seeing one, just ONE rear halfshaft for sale on eBay.co.uk earlier on this year, but having just one would basically leave me in the same situation I'm in with this car

Worst of all is the fact that TCer alexkidd sold us a pair of Avante halfshafts that were not really for this vehicle, and then he chose not to do anything to solve his "mistake"

Ok, let me check in my spare parts but I don't guarantee.

Write me again if I disappear, I'm really busy.

What parts are you chasing . Don't give up.

Rear dog bones.

Shocks all round

Diff cups

Might be able to help you with the above. I have re re Avante parts left over as I updated my shocks all round to Hi caps and diffs to ball diffs.

Hi Mark, how have you been.

Do you still have the rear dogbones and the one diff cup I am still missing to make my car run?

Happy 2017!

 

 

 

[MAD RACER]

I will check  for you.

 

Happy 2017 to you to.

Thanks anyway Max.

I got the car in 2014 and after all this time searching the world I am starting to believe these parts are just not possible to find

[kontemax]

It seems impossible.

Leave an ad in the TC also.

And on Facebook.

Thanks, WillyChang!

Please don't think I don't appreciate your help mate. Tamico unfortunately has nothing I could use in my car (rear-right drive cup and both rear drive shafts).

Even considering the stabbing postage prices these days it seems it would be much easier/cheaper if I buy another used Avante, take the bits off of it, and then resell the rest of the car in parts online.

You all have a good weekend!

Not at all matey; does the 50351 pack solve your Righthand diff joint?

plus you need 2 dogbones?

Yes, the missing cup is there, but it is a pricey complete four-drivecups new-in-package vintage set. When I only need just one. {Also, that's the same seller that ripped off @Swarm years ago}.

Also, I think less than a year ago somebody offered me the cups & the halfshafts for $140. They were taken from a new/unused 1988 kit. Results? I'm still trying to find parts. Hopefully used -no matter if they're old and worn, as long as useable/not broken.

It strikes me this is for a Avante, just a 4x4 buggy, not looking for anything as complex as Bruiser or Juggernaut parts here!
