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!)

I had hoped I could do this but I don't see any bolts for the back rest. It almost feels like the arm rests and back rest come out as one piece. I will look again.

You may be able to adjust the backrest up a little to give you more room for the cushion.

Try to lift the bottom cushion up to about a 45 degree angle. get someone to help you push it back and down under the seat back at the same time. The back may be in way if you try to push straight in. Good luck. I had to use both feet to push the one in my 30. The 36 was easier.

Thanks.. When I was getting it reupholstered they told me the cushion springs were wrong as they were flat. I bought a set of springs that had the channel or hump set in it and that should have worked. I just can't seem to get the bottom cushion to slide in under the seat back no matter how hard I try. Luckily, I don't sit back there.

Mine is a slant back.. no trunk. I will pull the seat back down and see what I can find.

There are two bolts and nuts at the top of the frame in the trunk. Take them off and the seat back will tip forward. I had to really push down on the cushion to get mine to fit
Good luck!

I can't get the seat bottom to slide all the way back and stay so I was looking to pull the seat back out and make sure the seat cushion fits like it should. It was recently reupholstered and might just have too much padding, or the replacement springs I bought from Synder's might be wrong. Does the seat back come out completely without tearing it all apart?
