Thank for this contribution!

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.

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

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.

Great! I need one so I’ve been looking for this!
