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.

Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is 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:

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!)

These parts came with the dis-assembled coupe. The glass appears to be too short, but that is not my biggest issue. When I try to operate the regulator on my bench setup, it won’t go up or down in a plumb line, but immediate cocks one way or the other. I created a couple movable felt lined guides to see if I could force it to stay vertical, but no luck. Will the one arm regulator actually work? Thanks!

I am not sure the regulator is correct but it appears to be. It should have one arm. The glass felt channel extends all the way down the sides of the wood as far as the regulator will allow the glass to go. On the lowest sections of the felt channel the channel is held in place with two of these sheet metal brackets as pictured below. The sheet metal body holds the upper part of the channel along with some screws into the wood sides. The glass should be flat at the bottom to fit into the glass regulator steel channel. There is a rubber seal at the top of the window opening to seal the opening when the glass is up. The glass fits between the two side glass channels without much play. The glass is 9 13/16 tall at the center and the lower two corners are very square.

Yes I believe you do have the correct regulator. 32-34 Coupe is the same. There should be a piece of rubber (wedge shaped, 1/4" thick at Max.) under the steel glass channel when in the up position. There is a cut out (in the wood) for the rubber bumper next to the cut out for the regulator arm. The bumper prevents the glass channel and regulator arm from hitting the wood under vibration. The bumper is not reproduced.

Thanks 40Coupe...that helps a lot. I think it is simply too much play between the glass and my test felt channels. The glass is not correct and I'll start with that.
