..ok friends ... I found the answer in a post on AACA Forum.
A guy ask there for the ID`s for the diffrent size of "Bausch & Lomb" glasses. The Glass I need for the 1924 Drums are the 9 7/8". Maybe somebody has a set or know where I can find them ???

.. does somebody know the right headlight lens diameter for
the headlight drums on my 1924 sport. There are any on ebay but I?m not sure if the 9 1/8" are the right ones. Actually there are Chevy glasses in. The ring who fixed the glasses into the drum has ... 10" outside diameter and 9,05" inner diameter.

Where is a good and reliable Repairshop for my 1924 Speedometer. The Speedo which was in the Car has a broken drum (where the Numbers are on) Some Owner was trying to fix that by himself. I?ve a spare one form DavidMc where the hairspiralspring is broken. but the drum is in good condition.
Now I need the adress from a Repairshop who can fix that.

Gerd ...
there are a couple more on youtube but here are 2 examples of this typical "Packard Door Sound" where I?m talking about.
Go to 9:19 on the 1934 Super 8 Video
and 0:53 on the 1929 633 Video.

Hallo Gerd,
some owners show this special sound into youtube videos. If I can find it again I`ll post it.
It is like a dark metallic "Click..Click" after the door became a light pusch with one finger and the door is closed.
I also saw this in Peabble Beach as Owners show this to the public. It shows a part of the quality and precision of the work on this cars at this time also in details. If you got the possibility to close a Door from a Trabant and a Bentley side by side .. you?ll know what I mean.

What do I have to do to became this typical Packard sound if I lock the doors. Right now I had to push the doors very hard or turn the handle to lock the doors. The spiral spring is very strong .. so I can?t close the doors by a light push. Maybee this is not the original doorlock ???

Tim .. do you mean it like that ???

flackmaster ... don't be worry and don't be sad .. but there is no wax for this kind of shine on the head. Only hours by hours of work ... with sanding .. maybe sandblasting ... special spatula ... sanding and spatula again .... and sanding back to the cast surface and special primer to fill all this rust holes and scares and waves and maybe a couple steps more till a real good surface. Then ...after paint you got this nice shine surface without wax .. 😉 I love this kind of restauration till the point the constructors ... the engineer?s and the blue print means it ... before the producers made it. Here my 1924 engine block ready to paint after more than hours and hours of machine and hand sanding steps on cast cylinder and aluminum crankcase. Last step the Aluminum crankcase are sanded by 800 grid by hand and finished by a special machine aluminum brush to medium gloss before a special aluminum clearcoat .. also medium gloss. And that's what some people called a "over restauration" or "NOT ORIGINAL" !!!

Thank you Howard, my Car is a 136 and you are right. Page 11 shows exact this piece. Think,.. this original condenser was broken so .. they cut off the little wire and installed the extra condenser on the side. I let the box on place put a new wire whitout function on it that it looks original. I dont need any other condenser because I install an electronic ignition.
