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.

Beautiful example; thanks for sharing! Will you have it at Hershey?

Ha! Squishy is better than leaky!

The rear bumperetts on my 1927 Series 80 with the rear spare are marked “BALCRANK”. There is an aluminum cup covering each end and they are not joined. Also the front bumper has convex stainless-steel cups which are pinned with a brass rod which passes across the diameter and has the ends braded; also the front tube is smaller diameter than the rear.
of course I can’t state these were bought as a set; anything is possible since the car was new.

Thanks, all! Kathy and I had a great time and it was a perfect weekend. We took the long way home and finally made it Wednesday evening.

Wouldn’t this make a great demonstration class for the annual meet? Prepare a top, maybe from a parts car or simulate a top with something realistic, and fit the top right there. I admit I have been interested in this subject for several years.

We need to offer some items like this in the Club store.

A ladies’ nylon stocking serves well in this capacity. You did fine though!

Sounds like a fun day! The different heater arrangements used in the early days of the automobile are somewhat interesting. My Series 80 had an air duct on top of or surrounding the exhaust manifold with a round port in the firewall; nothing  but the port is left.
my favorite is the “Whirlwind” gasoline heater made by Stewart-Warner. Interesting design, very effective.

I needed four for my Series 80. I noticed on my cousin’s newly-restored Jeep: two stainless-steel holddowns that are very close to my worn-out ones. I bought four at a very reasonable price and plan to use them until something better comes along. Look in Jeep parts/accessories.

Andrew, I have a ‘27 Series 80. Put me down for one of each part. I want to support the Cause.
