Thanks to everyone who responded to my question re; BN1 steering box overhaul.
In my research, I came to find that the steering box in the early post war A40
sedan is not the same as the BN1 box. Nonetheless, the basic principal is the
same and overhauling one of these boxes is essentially the same, So, thanks to
all who offered insights into this matter.

Subject: [Healeys] Facet Pump on a Positive Ground Car
I have installed the Facet pump on two of my positive ground cars. If you buy
the model Moss sells, all you have to do is attach the red wire to ground and
the black wire to the hot connection point. Works like a charm. You may also
want to use a rubber buffer between the pump and the car body or frame. That
will help isolate the rattle that happens when the pump is working.

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 Steering Box Overhaul
Among the cars in my stable are some post war Austin sedans, Austin A40 Devon
and Dorset. I understand these cars use the same steering box as the early
Healey BN1. Can anyone recommend a shop that can rebuild such a steering box.
I'm aware of the Dennis Welch reproduction box, but I'm interested in a rebuild
service.
Thanks in advance.

Not sure why you want to go that way. Normally these things last forever if you
clean the contacts occasionally. If it has been wet or if a coil is fried all
bets are off.

Thanks to everyone who advised me where to get the top cover. All good info.
I spoke with Bob at Autofarm and ordered one from him. This now guarantees
it will never rain when I'm out in the Healey.

...you might want to be aware Bill that the sedan steering box works in reverse
to the Healey because of the position of the track/tie rods. ie a RHD sedan
steering box is effectively a LHD Healey steering box. I know as I used an A70
box in a car I built, and had to change over the worm in the box.

Not sure why you want to go that way. Normally these things last forever if
you clean the contacts occasionally. If it has been wet or if a coil is fried
all bets are off.

So, it doesn?t matter if it?s dead...I suppose it would be nice if it looked
half way decent, but that?s not critical.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks to everyone who advised me where to get the top cover. All good info.
I spoke with Bob at Autofarm and ordered one from him. This now guarantees
it will never rain when I'm out in the Healey.

Subject: [Healeys] Smoke and Brakes
A belated thanks for all the replies. One thing I'd never have looked for is
the switch with which some people seem to have replaced the brake pressure
switch. I'd never heard of these things.
Anyhow, I'll have a look at all the usual things when I get over there. If I
can't find the cause and fix it, I'll be bringing the car over to the UK
anyhow and will be altogether better placed to work on the car.

equivalent number for the RB 340 found in a BJ8?Thanks,Simon

Subject: Re: [Healeys] BN1 Steering Box Overhaul
Bill??? I rebuilt three steering boxes this way for BN-1/BN-2s. The pinion
shaft has two bearing diameters and the aluminum case is the female bearing for
both diameters. The top of the case is bored to the larger diameter and the
lower portion is the smaller diameter. There is side load on the shaft so the
case tends to wear egg shaped. A lot of the slop in your steering box is wear
in the case. Drop your shaft into the case and see if there is any play. I am
going to describe the process in general terms because I did this some time ago
and don't remember exact dimensions but it was easy to figure out what was
needed. I have access to a milling machine but it is a fairly simple machine
shop job so you should be able to find a shop near you who can do the work.??
In the McMaster Carr catalog they have bronze bushings. They come in various
inside diameters and wall thickness and outside diameters. Pick two that fit
the two inside diameters needed to fit the shaft, then select
a wall
thickness that will give you a constant outside diameter. Next comes the
machine work. I can't find a picture of this, sorry. The case is put on the
mill using the top machined surface as datum ( Top down, snout up ) and the
shaft center is indicated. Then the case is bored to an interference fit to the
OD of the bronze bushings. While you have this setup make the bore for the lip
seal about 3/16th deeper so the lip seal rides on a clean part of the shaft and
you can use a two lip seal stack. Then the bushings are pressed in and viola
your case is better than when it left the factory. I think you can still get
new pin followers and the pin to worm clearance is adjustable so you can split
the difference between loose in the center and tight on full lock.?? This
probably sounds more complicated than it really is. A good machinist will
totally get it. You can message me for a phone number if you or your machinist
want to talk.
Hope this is useful information.RegardsRay Juncal

Another way of fixing the oval case on the early boxes is to ream the
housing back to round and then have the shaft metal sprayed bigger and
machined to the right clearance. This will correct both the wear in
the housing and the wear on the shaft at the same time.
