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:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

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,
I am searching for the discussion on what motor mounts to buy for my 46 Ford. The search function showed nothing. I only remember someone saying there is a source that has the correct thickness and I don't think it was Macs or Carpenters. Could be wrong though. Your help is appreciated.

I haven't used them, but I have heard others' opinions that Bob Drake has the closest to original

Thanks. I'll check that out. There was a lot of discussion on these on the forum. However I can't find it now. Maybe someone remembers it and can point me to it.

I replaced the mounts on my '40 a couple years ago and did run into a problem. My memory is a little fuzzy on this, but I think the problem was that the shoulder on the provided bolts was too long, the nut would bottom on the shoulder before the rubber cushions were snugged-up. But I do recall that there was a simple solution: I just re-used my original bolts, and everything went together fine.

This might be the link you were thinking of. There is another part of this with a title of clutch issue.

Thanks Tom that's what I was looking for. I'll probably order from Drakes. I'll be sure to check the new against the old before I go into the whole thing. It looks like a straight forward switch. I have a Quick jack lift to get the car up high enough but where is a good place to locate my jack to lift the engine which I assume has to be done enough to remove the lower donut? Will it be necessary to disconnect hoses or trans to do the job?
Thanks to you and all the others for your help. Hopefully when these get replaced all the chatter will be gone. I'll probably order trans mounts, as well, just to be on the safe side.

TomO advised me to lift engine with a piece of 2x4 across the front of the oil pan. Worked fine, oil pan can carry the weight.

No need to disconnect the hoses. As you said, only need to lift enough to get the donut out and new in, hoses will flex that much.

You may need Drake's B-6047-B "Extra Long Motor Mount Bolts" for the transmission mounts. Or reuse the original bolts. That was my experience with my 1939 Deluxe.

Thanks for the info. I assume that the trans/engine alignment won't be affected? I'll try to use the original bolts on the trans. I'm trying to keep as many original items as possible as long as they're in good condition. Guess I'll place my order today>

The rear mounts on a 46 Ford are different from a 39 Ford.
