For $7 he had to pull the 4 brake levers, pull the rear axle and torque tube down. Pull the transmission. Punch out all the old rivets on the double sided discs. Install new linings and rivets. Reinstall transmission, reinstall rear axle and torque tube and brake levers. Adjust clutch.

Update:
Paul Marr, great grandson of Buick’s first Chief Engineer, Walter Marr, has agreed to bring several of their significant cars including the 1915 Experimental Twin Six Buick to Buicks on the Bricks 2024.
Here’s your chance to join him and others with your early Buick.

Plugged vent in the fuel tank cap will also cause issues

Plugged vent line is another good one. Yep.

SW float could have a leak or be stuck
SW internal needle valves at top not seating or little spring broken or linkage broken
Flapper valve leaking
Crack in lid or bad vacuum sealing at lid or joints

If it runs perfectly fine by manually filling the vacuum tank then you must have vacuum when it runs perfectly fine and no holes in the heat riser or it would not run perfectly fine then either.
I think you have an issue with the SW tank.

Fold down ‘B’ pillar from an up series convertible in the mid to late 30s? A guess.

I see Amazon has several wireless trailer light kits available. A sharp chap could adapt these along with a 12v small jell battery. Adapt amber led bulbs or lenses for the front.

The topic thread (you can’t access if you choose not to belong to the BrassBuicks site) now has 77 comments. Too many to post here but lots of good questions about the system and answers.
Best if you contact Scott directly with your questions.
Note the prices are still bring established.

Wishing you all the best Buick Brother!
If it’s any consolation, my father had the exact same thing happen to him.

What are your stem clearances?
Think about adding felt washers to the stems.

Never had an over voltage issue. Can’t help.
My expert is Jason Smith who runs Automotive Electrical Rebuilders
He does excellent work on all the early starters/generators/horns/motors

Bloo, the 3rd brush is on an adjustable arched slide with a set screw to lock it in the position desired.
The lowest I can get my 3rd brush 1923 to regulate to is ~8.5 amps down the road. I can adjust it up to 20 if needed.
I run a halogen bulbed vintage spot light that consumes about 7 amps.
Nice to have the added safety of a day time running lamp. It's quite bright.
The remaining ~1.5 amps is tolerated by the battery well.
My solution.

Sharing another pic from last year’s event.
Wayne Funk’s Model F in front of the Durant Dort Carriage Co. office on Water Street in Flint.
We had a successful planning meeting this past Friday. Full speed ahead.
Buicks on the Bricks!

Heck, I’ve done it twice on my 1923 and never charged myself a dime.
