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:

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!)

I have a pair of NOS 42 blackout lamps. I have at least 1 46 surrond, possibly 2. Will find out when I shovel or snow blow to garage. About 8" today.

If they are truly new old stock, that is probably not an unfair price for complete units,as the 42-46 are getting scarce They were short production years. C&G sells NOS lens for $20 each. (Page 161 of their online catalog). Their sockets are on page 178, $6.50/each. Unless you plan to use the parking lights for turn signals, the condition of the reflectors isn't important, anyway. I bought many NOS parts for my '47, and the prices were stiff. That said, the repros were most junk, making the cost of good things easier to accept, with such things as a NOS speedometer, clock, and steering wheel in prominent display worth the outlay.

$100 sounds a little pricey to me. I've seen them at swap meets for $20-25 each in good condition.

Same part I am talking about. The sockets and wiring are available from the usual suppliers at around $20 each. Can you salvage the part that goes under the lens, mounts on the fender and holds the socket? No one is going to see it so it doesn't need to look pretty.

I'm talking about the part where the bulb and socket go into is very bad . the socket is as well not to good.

Can I ask what's wrong with the ones already on the car? Keep in mind that no one will see them as they are sandwiched between the fender and the door and lens.
