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:

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!)

I'm bringing up a 1942 Ford Tudor and discovered that when putting on the vent window handle that the part it screws into is broken (pot metal fell apart while trying to tighten up the screw). FYI, it's the driver's side. Does anyone remake that part? If not I'd sure like to find a good used one. I've attached a picture of the broken piece (Poinging to the broke part with a sharp tool). Any help? Thanks, David

Most good vendors sell replacement parts and rebuild kits for the crank type wing windows. We have bought them from C&G.

Yes, but they do not have the part that the handle screws onto.

I had to make the shafts for my '47 convertible, as none were available for that model. We made them out of stainless steel, and it was a shame to hide them under the door panel. If you have a good machine shop nearby, perhaps they can make one for you. The pot metal parts are often badly worn or broken, and we have had to duplicate many over the years,

I believe that you just need a new crank P/N 21A-7023410-BK, available from Bob Drake.

You might want to install a regulator repair kit also if your regulator is binding.

David I had the same problem on my 1942 Ford Coupe but on the passenger side. I bought a NOS unit from Mark Kiscak but for the drivers side. I drilled out the 2 rivits and replaced the broken part and gear into my broken passenger side unit. Put back together using short pan head screws, lockwasher and nut. Has worked great for about 10 years now. I also lubricated the gears with white grease before installing back on the door. You can use any closed car unit from 1941-1946 Ford Super Deluxe. The part number is 11A-7023403 for the drivers side and the part number for the passenger side is 11A-7023402. The Convertible unit will not work because it has a different part number. You may have to locate a used one. GOOD LUCK, Fred

David: I have both NOS left and right Vent Window Regulators bearing the same part numbers as mentioned by our 1941-42 Advisor. You can reach me at idalinc@windstream.
