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!)

Have you tried contacting Carpenter Reproductions in North Carolina ?

Dennis recently acquired a super-nice '36 roadster, which appears on his current business card. We spoke to him during the Tahoe meet about his interest in 1936 and 1937 Fords.

Perhaps Dennis would be able to provide you with those step pad mounting parts, or identify a source elsewhere.

Deuce Roadster, thanks much for your guide on making the nut and washer. You may be right..... I may have to resort to that or find someone who's made them before. Unfortunately, I suspect we're not talking about a high-demand item. I'll keep searching anyway.

Don, thanks again for using your computer graphic skills on behalf of 35-36 Fords.

I'm still curious about where to find the step pad nut and washer for the rear fender. Anybody know any suppliers out there?

Larry, that nut and washer looks like it would be hard to find. If you can't find one, make a template of the curvature under your fender, get some steel the proper thickness and with a press, bend it cold to match your curve. Cut to proper shape. Next, drill holes for washer and pilot hole in the nut. Tap nut for proper thread ( 1/4 inch pipe if I read the diagram correctly). You can make the reveal around the nut by hand if careful after making the nut or if you cut the flat metal to shape before bending, you could mill that, or file it.
The nut is very similar to the nut on the hot water heater nipple that goes in the lower radiator hose of a 40 but I think it is the wrong size.

Larry, Here is a comparison sheet that I made up that should help.

Uh, also....the rumble step pads are the same ones as the pads for the brake and clutch pedals, aren't they? I ask because I've seen different pictures for the two types of pads.

Thanks again!

What I have always used for step pad location was the centerline of the hub cap or the axle nut. Note picture.

Appears that Don married MY images, from my 35 Cabriolet, to the images in the hardware book, indeed very helpful.

Hey, guys, thanks very much for the replies and the information. Jon Anderson's diagram was particularly helpful and, I assume, applicable to a '36 fender as well as a '35. Thanks for keeping that trove of images, Don.

According to the part numbers the step pads are the same part as the pads on the brake and clutch pedals. (?) If they are I assume you'd just drill a half-inch hole in the right spot on the fender and perch the pad in it.

But....are the washers and nuts available anywhere? Nacewicz would be my first guess but the last catalogue I have from him doesn't list either piece. Any info on a possible source, from anyone, would be appreciated.
