hood latches

Some information would be helpful regarding hood latches.

Are the hood latches for a 1934 836A the same as the latches on a 1933 Pierce Arrow?

Thanks in advance,

Cal

If I read the numbers right the latches on a ’33 are 764581. Somebody have the ’34 numbers?

Calvin & Bill,

The latches for a 1934 836A are completely different from a 1933 836 and 1236 (P/N 764581).

However, it looks like the 1934 836A MAY be same as the 1933 1242 & 1247 (big 12’s), except for internal plating finishes.

The 836A latch ASSEMBLY part #’s (771041 front and 771015 rear) are different from the 1242/47 part #’s (758555 and 556), but all the internal parts (guide, handle, latch, pin, etc.) have the same # as the 1242/47 internal parts except for some plating suffix #’s. For instance, the 836A case is galvanized (G suffix), while the 1242 case is cadmium (U suffix), etc.

There is one thing I don’t understand – there are 2 rear assemblies listed for the 836A, one for 136″ wheelbase, and another for 144″ wheelbase. I don’t think the 836A ever used a 144″ wheelbase.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Bill and Bob.

I think we got the latches straitened out.

Calvin,

I will attempt to post an image of the rear hood latch from my 1934 Model 836A with a non- vented hood.

I have just recast these latches in silicon bronze. I have not gotten around to placing pictures and an add in the emporium but I need to do that soon.

I will be selling for $140 each including shipping. These are unplated.
