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.
Great! I need one so I’ve been looking for this!
Beautiful! Share more photos!
A ladies’ nylon stocking serves well in this capacity. You did fine though!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
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.
A while back someone told me the “Sting” Pierce was in Europe or the UK.
I think the Pierce in the movie “Lawless” is Marc Hamburger’s.
By the way: anyone have a Series 80 engine number 8022200 itvwas originally in my Series 80. Would like to have it of course!
More information: I bought the 1927 Series 80 2-door coach 8022114 from Ev Young circaMay 2016. Original engine number on firewall tag is 8022200; number on the right front engine boss is 8016871 (actually in the car now).
I have a copy of a title showing the car was owned by Space Farms of Sussex, NJ, issued May 24, 1989. I understand they sold some vehicles from the museum at auction after the founder’s death, as part of the estate settlement, and this was one of them. The title is signed on the back Eric Space, VP Space Farms, but no buyer is listed.
I did not know any other history so that listed in Mr. Weis’s work is new to me. Thanks.
