Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.

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!)

Got your message regarding punch marks on the firewall. There were none on my '47. I can't speak for other years. The only punch marks I have seen were made to install the optional "fresh air" heater. A large punch mark was made high on the fire wall for a connection to a duct. None of my other old Fords had marks for the water pipes, that I recall.

I just happens that I have the heater out of my '46 right now, and could take some measurements for you if you have not found anything so far. I don't know how many variations there were of Ford or aftermarket heaters are out there, but mine has EATON stamped in the backplate that mounts to the firewall. When I had the heater disassembled, I found a label on the fan motor (nonstock I believe) that identified it as made by Dayton Electric Mfg. Chicago, 6V, Model 2M196.

You may be thinking of the template for the 1940 hot water heater which is available.

My 46 never had a heater. So I bought a three door with switch wires
and I restored it. Made a cardboard template of the heater I couldn't
find a template on line but searched online interior photos and all I
found was they all are slightly off to the right of center line (not much)
then best thing ever invented a step drill awesome. Bought the lower
radiator heater nipple from Napa. I guess the offset is clearing the
oil fill pipe...

I have never seen one, probably because the heaters were a dealer installed item. The heaters were discussed in Appendix "A" in the Club's wonderful 1941-48 book. Photos in the book show the heater installed just to the right of the center of the firewall. When I installed a heater in my '47, I was careful to be sure the two pipes from the heater would clear the engine so the hoses could be attached. After carefully measuring the position of the pipes I made a cardboard pattern and drilled small pilot holes in the firewall, then checked for clearance before making holes large enough to accommodate the pipes. If you don't have the book, get one. It will tell you all you need to know if you have a 41-48 Ford.

I have been told that there is a Heater template showing where to drill holes in the firewall for a 46 to 48 Ford for the 3 door type heater. Can you please tell me how a copy of this template can be acquired.
