Info from my car-

13″” R: Irregular rectangle

Jak, if you want more photos of the visor clamps themselves, I can remove them and take some more photos and get some measurements if you like.
The clamps are not smooth on the side that faces the visor and one clamp has a rounded indent for the bar and one has a flat indent to mate with the flat portion of the bar.
And here is the passenger visor mounted in the car to show that the visor is mounted fairly far back away from the windshield.
The headliner in the driver’s compartment is original.
This is the whole assembly back together.
The visor is not square.
It measures:
15.5″ across the bottom where the mounting brackets are.
15.625″” across the top side away from the brackets.
9″” top to bottom on the left in this pic.
8.25″” top to bottom on the right in this pic.
“
This is the back side of the mounting bracket.
It was mentioned that there was a screw under here to adjust tension but I don’t see where it would be possible with this piece.
Here is the entire bar without the end pieces.
Note that the bar is sitting on the visor and I believe the visors to be original material.
The other side of the bar has the following stamped into it:
PAT.6-29-26
Also note that the two sides are no equal in length.
One side measures 2.62″ from the center to the cut section.
The other side measures 2.51″” from the center to the cut section.
The longer side was towards the wider end of the visor.
“
Here are some pictures of my visors.
When I was cleaning up the one that is not in the car I discovered something very interesting.
There is some lettering stamped into the long arm.
One side says:
Tiffany Mfg. Co.
Newark. N.J.
I second Jak’s enthusiasm for pics and a write-up.
Syd, if you need to look at a ’29 version and need to use it as a template I have the passenger side visor removed from my car right now.
I’m not too far north of you so we could always meet somewhere and I could let you borrow it for awhile.
If Karl hasn’t gotten to it by this evening I’ll post a pic of mine and where it’s mounted.
Amazing that Pierce lent their name to so many accessories.
Given the high standards that the PA auto was made I’m sure their accessories were also meticulous in detail and craftsmanship.
Good pics and great descriptions with them.
Stuff like this would be great for a FAQ or How To section of the website.
Greg, the extra ground cable is a great idea.
Chris’ suggestions of making sure you know you have proper electrical connections going to the battery before troubleshooting the starter is also a great idea.
Solving electrical problems can sometimes seem like voodoo science but good practices and a logical progression from source to load can greatly reduce troubleshooting headaches.
The car is coming along nicely and it is great to hear that she is so solid.
I want to second the comment about keeping the pictures coming.
We all love to see the progress and watch a car being transformed to its former glory.
Great to hear that the Pierce Arrow marque is being well represented out there.
A well preserved Pierce is a wonderful thing, keep her well taken care of.
And Wayne is much shorter than I expected. 
A great interview packed with information in such a short running time.
Bill is also a true gentleman in person.
Thanks for sharing.
That magnet sure collected a lot of crud.
Looks like they’re not wasting any time doing their work.
I’ve always like the looks of the touring cars and yours should look fantastic when it’s done.
Keep the pics coming showing the progress.
Daily driver?
I’m impressed.
That explains it.
Thanks for the info.
