Okay - get ready for blasphemy!
I have a CLW cast PA body, but no nose. Hopefully a nose will show up to rectify this mortal sin? But meantime my buddy Maroon has found an ancient Erie-Built nose, and I am going to modify it and temporarily solder it on the PA body.
I have already machined the inside of the nose casting so it sits on the rails extending from the PA body. I think you can see from my photo what comes next!
