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!)

You may already know that the Ford part number for the vacuum wiper motor for your 1935 Phaeton is 48-17504-C. But, then again, you may not and that model number may help. I don't know the Trico model number and haven't been able to find it for you. I'll keep searching.

the Trico motor model number is not very important, since you will not find one in the box NOS. If you need the motor I suggest you contact Kent Jaquith at Clean Sweep, he can give you the number. the difference between the 35 open car motors is only the length of the mounting shaft and the wiper shaft and they can be changed to suit. There is a chrome mounting spacer that also varies in length for the different models but it is not part of the motor.

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.

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.

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

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