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 would like to see a picture of a 47 car horn and bracket. I know what the horns look like but I need a picture of the horn and bracket together and the bracket separate. I’m headed to Hershey and want to find the proper pair. Thanks in advance for the replies.

If you have access to the 1941-48 Ford Book published by the club, look on pages 5-13 and 5-14 to see pictures of the two different types of horns used on 1947 passenger cars. Early style projection horns, as shown in Figure 5-30, were used on the early '47s and were mounted on the engine side of the front fender apron, the left apron on V-8s and the right apron on "G" series sixes. The later '47s used the sh*ll type horns shown in Figure 5-31. These smaller sh*ll type horns were mounted behind the grille in front of the radiator.

James, when I took delivery of my 1946 station wagon there was a set of horns in the car along with other miss. parts. The previous owner took them apart, I don't know why, but the bracket, two horn projectors, horn "guts", domes and a bag of dome screws are in the bag. If you want them they are yours for free and I will be in HERSHEY from Tuesday until Thursday. Let me know if you want them and I can bring them to HERSHEY.

I do not want to put my cell number on this forum. I tried to send you a message but you have that feature disabled.

James, that will work. Ether Bill Quick, NWC President and past President, Phil Stofanic and myself Bob Nelson will be in the booth at one time or another, so just stop by and give one of them your number and we are good to go!
