Hello Robert,
You might look on eBay using the search terms; vintage windshield slide, adjustment brackets, sliders, etc.
There are quite a few listed, but understand that you will need some idea of the length of the bracket that will work for your Pierce.
I will measure the length of the brackets on my Series-80 and post the measurement here.

Hello Robert,
That Horn Cable should be encased in a steel covering, and to check if it is shorted, you merely need to Connect Power (6V) to One-End, and
use your Multimeter to see if you get any power on the other end.
I think that solution is Correct, but other members will likely chime-in if I am incorrect.
Good Luck,
Peter
Hello Duncan,
I have a nicely put together 1925, Series 80, 7-Passenger DeLuxe Sedan, which is located around Newburyport, MA.
I would be happy to have you come by to inspect, photograph and ask questions about, my lovely, family-owned (since 1928), Pierce-Arrow, Series 80.
You can telephone me any reasonable time during the day, or early evening, at the following number; 978-270-3766.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Tony,
Beats Me, BUT there are Many Offered on AMAZON with different applications.
Perhaps, that Gent was thinking about Optima batteries, but I DK.
I guess that I will just have to look it up.
Best,
Peter

Hey Woody, I have a few Radiator Caps that Might Fit Your Radiator, however, you need to send me the Diameter and threads-per-inch for that cap.
Best Regards,
Peter Williams
Hello Alan,
It seems like you need a Threaded Stud that is Separately (differently) Threaded on each half.
The part that threads into the bottom of the Archer (top half) should likely have a smaller diameter threaded area, than the lower portion of the Stud.
It should also have a Small Nut and Lock -Washer, Torqued against the bottom of the Archer to prevent the Stud from loosening itself from the Archer.
Does this make any sense?
The lower part of the Threaded Stud that runs down through the Radiator Cap, should ALSO have a Nut & Lock Washer, to secure it to the UNDERSIDE of the Radiator Cap.
That Stud Runs through the Radiator Cap, with a job of securing the Archer to the Radiator Cap.
The length of the Stud is a TBD, meaning, you need to determine the Diameter, Length and T-P-I required for this project.
I hope that my Extended Reply Makes Some Sense to You.
Good Luck,
Peter
Hello Randy,
Why “1927” and Not Earlier Year Series-80 Models?
Just Curious!
Peter
Hello Robert,
Have you had any Luck with removing your Steering Wheel / Steering-Box, etc.?
Peter
Robert,
Did You FIRST Remove The Steering Wheel Itself from the Top of the Steering Wheel Shaft?
I believe that it simply unscrews.
IF SO, did you then ATTEMPT to remove the “tube” that I believe surrounds the steering wheel shaft?
If you did Both of Those Things, can you get a good look at the Base of the Shaft, and how it is connected to the Steering Box?
Please advise, as you wish.
Peter
Hey Richard,
I believe that you should look online @ COKER Tire.
They should have just about Everything that you may want or need.
It is a Start, and if I think of another Seller, I will send the info.
Peter
Hello Allen & Others,
I was The Guy who arranged that Deal with OPTIMA, and you & a Bunch of other PAS Gents remain interested in The Deal.
I needed to contact OPTIMA again to discuss what they can do for the PAS Guys.
I believe that I spoke with the Gent who took over for Optima Jim, who is Also Named Jim, but I don’t think that we came up with A Deal.
I will get back to him and see what OPTIMA can do for us.
Best regards,
Peter Williams
Marlin, RIP!
You were an interesting, funny and talented Minnesota Gentleman.
You were also a SERIOUS HOOT!
Gents,
FYI, the Rear Seat Roller Shades on my 1925, Series 80, have a thin silk (?) cord running along side each of them that is pinned to the interior wall of the passenger seating area at top & bottom of the cords.
On the bottom of the roller shade there are the integrated wooden slats to which the pull-tassels are attached.
Additionally, each wooden slat has a small screw-eye, on each end through which the Roller Shade Cords run to keep them rolling Straight Up & Down, and keep the roller shade material from skewing off-center.
It is all an elegant, precise and somewhat complicated arrangement, but then again, it is a Pierce-Arrow.
I can post photos if interested.
Peter
NICE!
I seem to have that problem when I send a photo via my iPhone!
I recently spoke with a Gentleman from Optima Batteries about “A Deal” on the 6-volt, Red Top Battery.
He would be pleased to offer us “A Deal” depending upon how many PAS people are interested.
Please respond to this question ON THE MESSAGE BOARD, and if there are enough people interested, I will contact the Optima Gent and see what he can do for us.
Of course, I suspect that his offering price will reflect the number of PAS people interested.
If you have any questions, be in touch.
Randy,
Welcome!
You have a GREAT Pierce-Arrow!
Enjoy it at the Annual Meet!
Someone at the Meet will have Suggestions about, or Horns for your Lovely Pierce-Arrow!
Cheers,
Peter
Hello David,
The Rear Window Roller-Shades on my Series 80, 7-Passenger, DeLuxe Sedan, are SILK.
I had my Upholstery Guy make them for me, AFTER I obtained the fabric.
With Silk there are fewer problems than with other “similar” materials, in that they DO NOT Clump when they Wind-Up, and they Go Away perfectly.
They are Always Rolled-Up, except when a Judge wants to inspect them.
Cheers,
Peter
Hello Robert,
There are THREE (3) Stromberg O-3 carbs available on eBay.
They are available for between $425.00 & $550.00 (OBO).
Regardless, there are THREE (3) available.
Just FYI, the Stromberg O-3 carbs were also used on mid-1920’s Lincoln automobiles.
I didn’t put in the Item Numbers HERE, because it was a PAIN!
Good hunting.
VBR,
Peter
