FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

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!)

Thanks everyone for your input . I will try and explain a little better what we require, Ecklers, Macs auto parts and C+G have in there catalogue a voltage regulator that fits on top of the original 3 brush generator and looks for all the world like the original, however they have no stock. Apparently by using this type you can increase the output by moving the third brush eliminating the day/night driving problem (ie- operates as a modern car would )

again thanks for you time and patience

cheers

I don't know exactly what style generator cutout you are looking for, but I have a new regulator style with a diode (A10505D). I bought one as a spare several years ago from Mac's and never used it. Still in the wrapper. If you can't find one closer to you, I might be able to help you. PM me if you are interested.

Stay Safe!

It looks like the voltage cut-out and the regulator are both available from VanPelt Sales, LLC. Their website is vanpeltsales.com, phone 1-513-725-9486.
The parts of interest are:
B-10505 Voltage Cut-Out (1928-39) - 6V - 15 amp for $21.00
8A-10505 Voltage Regulator (1939-55) - 6V - 30 amp for $54.00
Hope you are able to get the part you need, get it installed and get your '37 back on the road soon.

Fatdog,
What exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for the stock type of generator cutout that mounts on the top of the 3-brush generator that is original to a 1937 Ford? Or are you looking for the regulator that was used on the 2-brush generators beginning with the 1939 Ford Deluxe model?
Please clarify.
