That is a nice Series 80 Coach if one could snag it for a reasonable price.

Maybe Greg will go for it.

Tony,

As always, you are a HOOT!

Jack,

BTW, the cotter pin locks the nut in place and there is not a huge amount of torque / stress on the nut, per-se.

Use good quality steel (stainless?) cotter pins.

Jack,

If you have the thread space, you could always double them up / have one thin-non-castle nut with the castle nut on the top.

I searched online for castle nuts / lock nuts (with cotter pins) and there are various options, but Bill is correct about current metallurgy vs. 1920s metallurgy.

Finally, what is wrong with the original nuts?

David,

Everyone who frequents this message board is dyed-in-the-wool car guy.

Also, apropos of Lock & Stitch, before I learned the Hard-Way, I had a cracked cylinder block “furnace welded.”

That repair lasted for 3-days before it went to junk.

Lock & Stitch later saved the day, but it was an expensive lesson.

David,

Because we are Pierce-Arrow devotees, it is a Society.

It is like Brandy versus Cognac.

Hey Jay,

Thanks for the great idea.

BTW, do you plan on bringing your ’18-66 to the PAS Annual Meet this July in Rohnert Park?

If so, I’ll see you there.

Kenneth, Good News! YEAH!

Craig, You are welcome!

Greg, DK as yet, will advise as I know.

Ladies and Gents,

Well, the 2018 OPTIMA DEAL IS DONE.

Congratulations to all who snagged One, or Two or Three!

I have OPTIMA Jim on my calendar and next Spring we will see what he can do for the PAS in 2019.

Ken – I trust that your dilemma will soon resolve.

Cheers,

Peter

There was also a Marmon Prototype with fender mounted headlights.

David,

I am not surprised, as within a year or two of the demise of the PAMCC (which happened on THIS DATE in 1938), all American cars sported fender mounted headlights.

Oivind & Paul,

To execute both of your ideas, all it would have taken was LOTS OF MONEY!

Peter

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

Gents,

The DEAL IS DONE on Tuesday 15 May @ 12:00 Midnight.

Get your Red Hot – Red Top while the Deal is Hot!

Kenneth,

Don’t you have a Tracking Number?

If so, you should be able to find the status of the package on UPS.com.

David,

I know that it is a cheesy comment, but I believe that engine compartment mousetraps were a PAMCC factory option.

EIGHT-DAYS TO GO!

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

Ken,

I am not sure, but you can check.

Your Member Number is 2833 and you joined the PAS in 2016.

That information is from the 2017 PAS Paper Roster.

If those numbers match what you have on your mailing, then, BINGO!

Peter

Lord Willing!

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

Randy,

I had the same problem.

Your Member Number is next to your name in the PRINTED ROSTER.

Peter

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

Gents,

How are the OPTIMA orders & deliveries going?

No need to repeat your receipt of the battery (batteries) or pleasure on the Deal, however, new post are appreciated.

I post this to keep the DEAL Up Top on the Message Board, so excuse me if I seem more “whatever”” than usual.

I just want the DEAL to be noticed by those who do not frequently visit our Fabulous Message Board.

Peter”
