Considering your response, I guess that I was wrong.  Oh well!

You might consider contacting one or more of the expertly knowledgeable people in the Society.

For instance, John Cislak is a Gentleman who is a Master of repairing / maintaining Pierce Arrow cars.

There is also, George Teebay, who is a Master of  Knowing Almost Everything Pierce Arrow.

There are also at least a dozen others who could help, but you now have a place to start.

I trust that neither of them will balk at your approaching them on the matter, and either offer you an answer, or direct you to someone who may know.

Good Luck!

As regards your monogram question, a basic 3-letter monogram has the initial of the individual’s last name (surname) set LARGER, or with Some Special Treatment in the CENTER, with the first name initial to the left and the middle name initial to the right.

Finally, I hope, Loctite is likely not an option because of the Heat-Range the engine goes through from Startup (cold) to Running Temperature (100+ degrees).   However, I could be mistaken!

If that is not a Pin in the first photo, and if there is not a hole through the cap and the rod, then it had to be BRAZED to hold everything in place and aligned.

Solder is for making general electrical connections and not for pieces that endure serious heat, as it has a Low Melting Point.

I DK about how it was fashioned, but is that a “tiny” pin showing in the First photo?

Overall, the assembly looks like it was originally Brazed.

As a young man, I worked in a manufacturing factory where we constructed “high pressure” vessels that were components of machines like air conditioners

After the Vessels were brazed, they were put on conveyor arrangements and run through a furnace to heat and melt the substance applied to keep them sealed and airtight.

Before painting, at the joints, the steel looked like the photos above.

Therefore, I offer the opinion that this piece had the Top put (screwed) on, the Shaft Aligned so the hole was open, the PIN put in place, and then the top-piece Brazed to the Rod.

What do you think about that idea?

Hey Chip,

I just looked through my stash of B & L headlight lenses and I believe that I have a few of them.

I have a couple that I may be willing to sell, but I have not determined what I want ($-wise) for a pair.

When I do, I be in touch .

Best regards,

Peter

Gentlemen,

My experience with them was somewhat complicated, however it was Eventually Productive and after a time, SMS sent me an Extremely Lovely and Beautifully Useful roll of interior upholstery with which I reupholstered my 1925, Series 80, 7-Passenger, DeLuxe Sedan.

I even had them send me a Second, 10-yard roll of the same material as a back-up, and that took only a few weeks to receive.

All said, I should not need to be deal with them again, and it is a shame that you had such a bad experience.

Peter

Hello Chip,

Do you have any of those lenses?

If not, I will Guess that you Need Two!

If you are going to Hunt for them on eBay, make sure that you Do Not Buy the B&L (Bausch and Lomb) “Star” lenses, as they are made for the Series 81.

In addition, I am about to look through my “Stash” of B&L, Series 80 lenses.

I stashed as many as I could find / buy at a reasonable price on eBay years ago when I was looking for The Correct Series 80 lenses.

I will determine if I have a sufficient number to sell Two (2) of them to you, without leaving me without a set, or two.

If I do, I will be in touch with a price.

Best,

Peter

Jim,

Sad about your experience with SMS, and I guess that I was some combination of Lucky and Patient.

I too, waited for Eons for them to Finally send me the Upholstery Material, however I couldn’t find it anywhere else.

Further, I had already bought some Upholstery Material that Didn’t Match, so I remained patient.

Eventually, it arrived!

Best wishes,

Peter

Jim,

A PACKARD, REALLY?

Peter

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hello Jim,

SMS Fabrics Custom Made 10-yards of fabric identical to the original fabric in my Series 80.

I cut off a small section and sent it to them, from which they created the 10-yards they later sent to me.

It wasn’t necessarily inexpensive, but when I received it, I had my upholstery agent install it

I also had them send me a few Extra Yards as “backup” which I have sitting on to do the interior of the doors, when I get around to having those done!

They were very nice!

PAS Gents and Ladies,

Apparently, My iPhone is NOT THE PROBLEM when looking at the Emporium Listings on this website.

Today, I went on to the website and looked at the listings that were causing me problems.

The Problems Are GONE, GONE, GONE!

I did nothing to correct it, however, the problem no longer exists with my iPhone.

Three Cheers for Technology Working as Expected!  WOWIE!

Peter

Hello,

I have TWO (2) iPhones, a 12 & a 14.

Earlier today, I booted up the iPhone 14 and went to the PAS Emporium to see if I could replicate the same issue on that iPhone as I have with my iPhone 12.

When I did that, the result was quite similar, even though slightly less overwhelming than with my  iPhone  12.

It is Not A Big Deal, per se., and I will figure it out, if it is meant to be figured out!

Hello PAS People,

Thank you for your input, however messing around with the various Display Options and other features suggested does nothing to help.

I am running the Correct & Current Operating System, and the PAS website remains the only website with which I have difficulty.

Oh well, that’s life with my current iPhone and our website.

Peter

Hey Barry,

You should contact John Cislak (in the roster) about that work.

Either he can do the work, or direct you to someone who can do it.

Good Luck with your project.

Peter
