Howdy all:
I continue to look at a '59 BT7 for sale nearby, and finally checked over and
drove the car yesterday. Seems rock solid and a very nice driver. Two things
concern me, and I'd love some advice from the collective:
First, I'm told that the car has a leaky overdrive. When I drove the car, the
OD worked perfectly. However, they told me that it does leak enough that
eventually, the OD will stop working properly, but if topped up again, it
works just fine. Having never removed an OD unit from a Big Healey --- but
knowing where they sit on the drivetrain -- I believe that fixing this is a
huge pain in the neck. I'd love some thoughts on this.
Second, the car has the first front tube shock conversion I'd ever seen on a
Big Healey. I didn't get a great look at it, but I'd love some thoughts on
front shock conversions. The car handled generally as I'd expect a Big Healey
to handle.
Thanks as always!!!
Bill S.
