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.

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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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!)

Most vendors have the cranks, in all colors, but none seem to have the screw that holds them on!!! I don't have the cranks or screws, but I don't want to buy cranks and then have to source the screws. I believe the thread is 10/24s, but it needs a head to sink into the handle.
Any help is appreciated!!!

That should be an oval head screw. I believe it is a fillips head. Any good hardware store(Ace) should have them.

If it's the same screw as on my '46 Station Wagon it isn't an oval head screw. It is a phillips head but it has a shank that goes into recess in the crank handle. I don't believe anyone repro's the screw, but you might be able to use an allen head bolt that has the same type head, as the head will fit into the crank handle recess until you can find the correct screw. The screw in my Station Wagon is about 1 and 1/16 long.

Two places that come close are Restoration Supply Company PN, NUT 264 and Restoration Specialties PN, 507. Both are called Fillister Head Screws and both only have slotted not phillips head.

trjford8, thanks for the reply, that screw needs to fit down into the crank???

woodiewagon46, thanks for the part numbers and lead, I have ordered them from Restoration Supply. I knew what the head of the screw needed to look like but I was not familiar with term "Fillister Head", not concerned with slotted or phillips, I just try to use all the same in an application!!!

If you look at the crank handle that NGA shows, the recess gets filled up by the special screw head. Fillister Head is close but not exact, allen head will work also. Who knows why Ford didn't just use a countersunk screw, but as you know Henry did some unusual things.

You've given a few V8-ers some heart palpitations with later flatty and "non-stock" wheels, but it looks pretty sharp. Screw heads seem like a picky thing but if they all look right it will make you money and pride in the end. It just shows that you care. Kinda like a black suit with white socks. Smile. 42OINK
