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!)

Hello Ken,
thanks for your reply and yes, you're right about the part description! I got it a bit pickled! I've found a picture of it and the part number but nothing to describe exactly where it goes!
Cheers,
John

I've got one on my early '39 Deluxe coupe.
The book calls it "Plate-auxiliary catch striker".
It's mounted directly behind the secondary latch. it has slotted holes for the screws which allows it to adjust the secondary catch. I'm pretty sure that it was only used on the early hood latching arrangement and not on the later production Ford cars which use a completely different arrangement. Ken

John,

That part is used on the 39 Deluxe and the 39 Mercury. It is shown on page 365 of the Green book in the lower left hand corner. I don't have a photo or drawing of it installed, but once you see the picture in the catalog, you should be able to figure it out.

Hello, does anyone know anything about the 1939 Ford Deluxe part number 91A-16904 hood Auxiliary catch striker plate? I have tried to locate it in early parts catalogs without any luck! I have restored a 1939 Deluxe and I don't recall seeing it while in the dismantling or rebuilding stages? It would help if someone could send a photo of one in its correct position and perhaps tell me exactly what year and model it fits! Thanks, John
