That would give you a nice big 12 volt battery with, presumably, bags of
amps and, very probably, smoke. Lots of smoke. I'd not go down that route.
Two identical 12v batteries in parallel gives you 12v and double the output
of either battery and putting them in series gives you 24v and the same
output as either battery. (If my memory serves me right).
Sorry for the physics lesson but would hate to hear that it had all gone
horribly wrong,

Just get two 12V gel batteries and hook them up in "parallel".
They don't leak and hold a charge for a long time.
Try Optima or Odyssey brands.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] RH & LH drive cars
The last time I was in St. Thomas U.S. Virgin Islands, they still drove on
the left hand side of the road and the rental cars were left had drive. It
was always a challenge diving a rental and had to realy think about it at
intersections and especially roundabouts. I'm not sure about the other U.S.
Virgin Islands, St Croix and St. John. I would imagine they are the same
along with the British Virgin Islands.

Before WWII, and some even after, many if not most French cars
were RHD because they thaught it safer to enter/exit the car on the
kerb side. They have driven on the right side of the road at least
since Napoleontic times.

In the case of purpose built road racing?cars like Bugatti, Ferrari &
even Chapparal (to name only a few), it is my understanding that most
were built as RH drive because the majority of the road racing tracks
were run clockwise & RH drive placed the driver on the inside of the
majority of the turns. The driver's weigh on the inside of the turn
helps reduce roll & also makes it easier for the driver to precisely
clip the apex. Coincidently, RH drive also places the driver closer
to the photographer on the majority of turns, if the photographer is
on the inside of the track.
No actual research was conducted during the preparation of this.

Hello
?
Yes that is correct there are more people in countries that
drive on the right. However it reminds me of a Margaret
Thatcher quote:-
?
?If it is once again one against forty-eight, then I am very
sorry for the forty-eight.?
?
Interestingly all period Bugattis made and Ferrari
competition sports cars of the ?40s, ?50s and ?60s were RHD.
?
Also far more relevant is that 92% of all Austin-Healeys were
made in LHD but only require about a week?s work to convert.

Ditto. It's the back bolt of the heater valve. There should also be a
similar clip but with a larger hole that goes under the exposed nut on the
rear head stud.

Subject: [Healeys] Source for 6V Batteries
Anyone have a source for 6V batteries suitable for use in 100s (i.e.
that will fit in the stock battery tray and bracket)?? I'm currently
using a couple Interstate batteries, and Interstates are now made in
Mexico with attendant quality issues.
