VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Hello,
I am trying to find the part number for a 1937 Ford cowl vent hinge mechanism. The books I have (GB, Chassis Parts List & Automotive Hardware and Trimming Supplies)list all the other cowl vent parts but the hinge. Any help would be appreciated. Please see attached pics.
Thanks,
Gregg

Except for the lever, I don't think there is a separate part number for what you show. What you show is part of the "Cover (cowl ventilator) and deflector assembly" > The assembly Part Number is 78-700600 which covers the assembly in its entirety minus the lever....

The Lever (cowl ventilator) is Part Number is 78-70612

Thanks MG,
I believe you are correct. That certainly makes sense and fills in the gap. Now I can move on to searching for all the other p/n's. I am attempting to document (photo & p/n) every part in my car.
Your help saves me time,

If the nut for the tension spring and friction washers is a 48- style it should be a slotted hex or castle style and the stud on the hinge may have a hole at the end both for a cotter pin?? If so there will not be a lock washer under the nut. I believe your also missing a brass roller 48-700615 to fit over the shaft and inside the slot of the linkage rod?

Hi 40 Coupe,
You are right on. The nut is a castle nut, and yes, there is a hole in the shaft for a cotter pin. Bingo, I don't need the lock washer and things just got a bit more accurate, much appreciated. To boot, I do need the brass roller and can nowhere find one. I am going to the Big3 swap meet in San Diego and it is on my list. I would be game for an aftermarket version but can't find anybody that carries it.
Thanks,
Gregg

The roller is not reproduced and used originals are usually worn out. 48-700615, Yellow brass, 0.400" O.D, 0.275" I.D, 0.100 W. Nice little job for a manual lathe.

Darn. I will have to find a lathe friend.
It seems like steel would have been a better choice than brass for this part. Do you know why Henry did brass?

Thanks,

I can only guess, it was because steel would eventually rust and seize onto the shaft. There is a possibility for a bit of moisture in the cowl vent operating mechanism area???
