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!)

Does anyone have a copy of a '51 turn signal wiring diagram? I don't need a general wiring diagram for a turn signal add-on, I need one specifically for a '51. Another option I would consider is buying the entire turn signal kit 1A-18440A, if anyone has one on a shelf collecting dust and no longer need it!

Thanks for the help.

Tom

The turn signals were an accessory, so there was a separate wiring harness for them. If you order the harness, you will get the wiring diagram.

Tyree Harris mailed me a wiring diagram for earlier cars, when I wanted to find out if I could use it on my car. His E-Mail is tyreeswires@peoplepc.com

I checked my manuals, and the only diagram I found was one that showed how to interconnect the turn signals with the existing wire loom. All turn signals follow the generic wiring diagram. I assume you need the steering wheel hub circuitry.

Bob-

I have a couple of generalized turn signal layouts but what I need is a diagram for the steering hub type of turn signals. This is what I have on the '51. Unfortunately, the wires have turned to powder so I am looking at a re-wire project hence the needed diagram.

Thanks for the help.

Tom: I'll keep looking. Turn signals were considered an accessory that year, so I assume that the switch was probably a proprietary design, and that there may be several varieties. I suspect that is why the manuals only show the loom interconnects.

Turn Signals, were standard equipment in 51, not an accessory. On all Custom Models. Sherrel

Mike-

I have looked over VanPelt's collection of wiring diagrams. It is a nice collection and the price is "right" (free!). The unfortunate part is the '51 diagram does not show the turn signal wiring. However, all is not lost. I got an email from Tyree Harris (as suggested above) and it looks like he has something that will work for me.

Thanks to you and all the others for the help.
