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:

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!)

If you don't mind, I have a related question of my own...what is the proper lenght of the wiper shaft (body to tip of shaft) on a '35 Phaeton's heart shaped wiper motor ??

Mine measures 2".....if it turns out to be to long what problems would I experience if any ??

Thank you Lincoln, that is a huge help to have those numbers. There are so many Trico varieties , although the 35 shape is fairly destinctive, the numbers are the key.
I might put and advert on the ford Barn site

Aside from the FORD part number already given you, the TRICO number for the original wiper motor assembly was KB-43-1G. Keep a lookout also for KB-42-1G which fits the 1935-36 Convertibles as I think it is similar but has a different shaft length. The older TRICO catalog also lists a Service Replacement for these as KSB-134 and KSB-163, respectively. Do not know how these replacements compared to the originals.

You will be able to cut the cost since you need just the one motor on the drivers side.

It is best you know the details of the wiper motor, and the regulator, you are looking for, so you do not get taken advantage of. There are several guys on E*** that say they have NOS 35-6 open car motors, but they do not. At this time there are NO, NOS or used, 35-6 open car motors an on E*** ! the 35-6 open car motors are very hard to find used, let alone new. A wiper motor can be in unrebuildable condition, so I suggest you contact a very reputable expert, if you want one that works! I have included a photo of a 35 Cabriolet motor, and spacer. The Phaeton will appear similar. Note the motor pictured is original and the chrome plating is thin, both the motor and regulator are chrome except for the connection tubes between the two and the vacuum input tube

Beware of NOS wiper motors, as the packing in them is usually hard, making an adequate seal difficult. Many NOS items I've bought over the years were actually parts that were dealer replaced, with the originals placed back in the box and the shelf. Our most recent was a $250 clock that we had to repair before installation. Given the usual high prices of these things, it isn't always a good deal, even if the seller swears it is new.

Trico wiper motors are still available NOS. Here are 5 NOS wiper motors alleged to be for Fords with Trico model numbers.

Your exact Trico model number I'm still looking for.
