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.

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!)

I just measured one and as you said, it measures 7/16 and tapers up to 1/2". The threads measure 18 TPI.

I agree on the 7/16X20, but I have seen some original pedal pads where the stud was tapered. The stud starts out at 7/16 but increases in size as it goes toward the pad. Almost like a pipe thread. Anyone ever see this besides me?

The threads on stud are the same, 32-48. Only the pedal pad design changed during those years. As Tom O stated, it is 7/16 by 20. Ford seemed to LOVE 7/16 fasteners, as they "ABOUND" in both coarse and fine thread on 32-48's.

I checked my '48 and got the same result you did. It's definitely an odd pitch thread. Maybe someone else has some input on this.

If you are talking about the 33-34 it is 7/16-20. If it is the later cars, I can't help.

Guys-
Need some help on this. What size is the thread for the pedal pad stud mount on the brake and clutch pedal arm? It seems to be close to a 1/2"-20, but not exact.

Thanks

Tom
