The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
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!)

I went through this a year ago on my '37 two-door quarter windows. I looked at VanPelt's pictures of regulators, and it appears your regulator is the same design, so I will assume the procedure to get the glass channel onto the regulator is the same. But of course there could be some differences that I am not aware of. Below is what I found to work on my '37. I hope I am not forgetting something.

This job requires patience. It was probably a simple procedure for the assembly line guys who did it many times a day, but for you and me trying to figure it out for the first time, it's a real PITA!

1. Garnish molding and side wall interior panel removed. Glass channel installed on the glass. Regulator installed, loosely.

2. Crank regulator until the two slide pins are touching each other, and positioned behind the little opening in the side wall. Later you will have to work through this little opening to get the slide pins into glass channel.

3. Drop glass into it's opening, have glass channel rest on top of the regulator's two slide pins.

4. Slide the glass horizontally until the +/- 2" gap in the bottom of the window channel is over the two slide pins.

5. Slightly crank the regulator and manipulate the glass to get one of the slide pins to go up into the glass channel opening and slide into the channel. This ain't easy! The slide pins have a spring loaded anti-rattle washer that needs to go into the channel. Takes some manipulation and patience.

6. Once one of the slide pins is in, do the same with the other slide pin. Again, ain't easy. If you crank/manipulate a little too much the first slide pin wants to pop out.

7. Crank window to see if rolling OK, but don't let the slide pins get to the opening in the glass channel or they will want to pop out again.

8. The glass channel has a threaded hole near it's opening to receive a short large-head screw that acts as a stop on one slide pin, so it cannot move to the opening and pop out. (when the slide pin hits this screw, it starts pushing the window horizontally for the ventilator feature) But you cannot get on that hole through the side wall opening you have been working through. In order to get that screw in, crank until you can see the hole through another opening in the side wall for that purpose.

9. When window seems to go up-down and fore-aft as it should, tighten down the regulator.
