After more research I am more confident the tiny spring is part of the zerk fitting used to force the plunger out. The spring holds the tiny ball check in place.
This is a known problem especially with some imported zerks of dubious quality.

There is no grease fitting as part of the Pierce design; I was referringbto the fitting you mentioned using to force the plunger out to ith a grease gun. That is all.

Possibly is it a springbfrom the grease fitting itself? Doesn’tbthese fittings have a spring-loaded ball which serves asca check to keep all the grease from backing out ofvthe fitting?

Don, did you find a part? I have one which is worn where the lower part rubs on the spring, but if you can salvage the handle off it I will be glad to send it to you.

Maybe they supplied castings as well?

Research reveals the Willys Jeep folks have reproduced both the cylinder head and engine block for their favorite vehicle. They are cast in China, are reputed to be of high quality, and seem reasonably priced.

Why not artfully use a modern innovation like Velcro to attach the  upholstery here, rather than stapling or tacking it in place? Well-done, no one would realize it, and it would be easily removable for repair of the wiper mechanism.

Thanks for your post; I love books and my copy is headed my way!

What should a recore cost? I got a modern (not honeycomb) recore of a 1931 Pierce unit and I’m ashamed at what I paid for it. Water under the bridge, as they say.

Kathy and I had a great weekend this year at Gilmore! Thanks to Dave and Diana and to all who made it happen and to those attending!

Thanks also to Greg and Ken for allowing us to spend Friday driving the marvelous Series 80 touring car. It was an unexpected and special day for us!

This product is usually available at boat and rv supply dealers. I began using is after reading good reviews in several publications.

Kathy and I had  GREAT week! We want to thank Karl and Mary and the Committee! All your hard work paid off!
We also want to thank our “pit crew” who came to our rescue in Hershey when our electric fuel pump failed! You all were magnificent and quickly and efficiently made up for all my lack of tools and parts, and got us going again. You are all THE BEST!
We got home Monday evening and had no issues during our 1,000 mile return trip.

I found a vendor with good detail information on their web page: J&J Auto trim in California. They offer multiple window channel types and most seem to be 5/8 inch wide. I need to check my car more closely, to see if I can find something that will work. At the same time, I have to try not to destroy what I have in the process; there’s the trick!

Hi, Peter, I believe it is as you say: an involved job. One day, though, it will be necessary. I am considering paint and a new top.

I think the Brits have a good cotter pin method: insert then give the ends a 90 degree twist before bending them around the nut.

I recall reading that Rolls-Royce licensed their mechanical power-assisted braking system from Hispano-Suiza.
