I do not see such hole(s) for the rear main cap. Are there any horizontal bolts going through the rear plate into the rear main cap that would require the removal of the engine or transmission for access to them? Judging by the condition of the oil pump gears and end plate I do believe that a lot of the lost oil pressure will be cured by replacing the pump. I have not yet removed the front main cap but the center main shell and crank journal were in pretty good shape with no discoloration, scoring, etc. I'm certainly willing to replace the rod bearings and mains that I can access with the engine/transmission in place but do not want to pull it or the transmission if possible. I know that best practice would be to replace all mains but if there are such bolts and I choose not to pull the engine or transmission to access them I am making a big mistake by replacing only the front and center mains?

I have always used a tap to engage the bullet to pull it out. If a magnet wont pull it out, you probably have some metal wedged in there and the only way to get it out is with a tap. And, that would explain your low oil pressure problem because the bullet is stuck in the open position.

In the process of cleaning, etc. they removed the oil restrictors. I believe the restrictors are necessary to ensure that an equal amount of oil is fed to both oil hole locations on the rod journals. I believe I know where they go inside the drilled holes in the crank. My question is two-fold. How low below the surface of the rod journal should they be located? My assumption is that as long as they are located between the internal junction of the smaller drilled hole and the surface of the journal, that will be okay. Can anyone confirm this? My big fear is that due to centrifugal force, they work their way to the surface with resulting destruction of the bearings. My inclination is to locate them just past the junction of the smaller drilled hole. This would located them closer to the centerline of the rotating mass of the crankshaft, which would minimize the centrifugal force on the restrictors. As always thanks in advance for any help.

I'm not certain but it appears to be stuck in the fully seated position so it may or may not have something to do with the low oil pressure.

If I rock the car side-to-side a bit I can ofter get another gallon in. I don't know if the filler tube projects into the tank or not, but if it does, by rocking the car it allows some air out of the tank making room for more gas. It's worth a try. ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of healeys-request at autox.team.net Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 1:00 PM To: healeys at autox.team.net Subject: Healeys Digest, Vol 10, Issue 312 Send Healeys mailing list submissions to healeys at autox.team.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Healeys -- Austin Healey Discussion - Team.Net autox.team.net To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Healeys Archives.

Just could not find the tall tire like I wanted without paying large $. Finally settled on the Vred 185/15. They fill up the wheel well like I wanted and are taller than the 165s. To me the 165s look anemic in the opening, esp the BJ8 which sits taller anyway. Less than 400 miles on tires but they ride and grip ok. Not a huge fan of the sidewall. Hope this helps.

First off your machine shop did the right thing by removing the restrictors, it is the only the crank can be properly cleaned and the restrictors can be checked, replaced and sized per OEM specifications. The only source I could find for new restrictors is Dennis Welch and they have them in two diameters, stock and oversized. I bought the DW restrictors but in discussion with the machine shop we decided to tap the crank oil journals and make screw in brass restrictors to avoid and peeling of the brass or damage caused by pressing the DW OEM type and to avoid the possibility of the restrictors moving as you have pointed out in your email. This might sound a bit over the top but it really wasn't. It wasn't difficult to tap the crank and the screw in restrictors were easily made. Good luck... Harold -----Original Message----- From: Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces at autox.team.net] On Behalf Of David Masucci Sent: Monday, October 02, 2017 4:06 AM To: Ahealey help Subject: [Healeys] Crankshaft oil restrictors Hi All, I just got my 6-cyl crank back from the machine shop. In the process of cleaning, etc. they removed the oil restrictors. I believe the restrictors are necessary to ensure that an equal amount of oil is fed to both oil hole locations on the rod journals. I believe I know where they go inside the drilled holes in the crank. My question is two-fold. How low below the surface of the rod journal should they be located? My assumption is that as long as they are located between the internal junction of the smaller drilled hole and the surface of the journal, that will be okay. Can anyone confirm this? My big fear is that due to centrifugal force, they work their way to the surface with resulting destruction of the bearings. My inclination is to locate them just past the junction of the smaller drilled hole. This would located them closer to the centerline of the rotating mass of the crankshaft, which would minimize the centrifugal force on the restrictors. As always thanks in advance for any help.

If I rock the car side-to-side a bit I can ofter get another gallon in. I don't know if the filler tube projects into the tank or not, but if it does, by rocking the car it allows some air out of the tank making room for more gas. It's worth a try. ________________________________ From: Healeys on behalf of healeys-request at autox.team.net Sent: Wednesday, October 4, 2017 1:00 PM To: healeys at autox.team.net Subject: Healeys Digest, Vol 10, Issue 312 Send Healeys mailing list submissions to healeys at autox.team.net To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Healeys -- Austin Healey Discussion - Team.Net autox.team.net To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the Healeys Archives.

Just could not find the tall tire like I wanted without paying large $. Finally settled on the Vred 185/15. They fill up the wheel well like I wanted and are taller than the 165s. To me the 165s look anemic in the opening, esp the BJ8 which sits taller anyway. Less than 400 miles on tires but they ride and grip ok. Not a huge fan of the sidewall. Hope this helps.

A new handle one year and a new head a few years later. That?s multiplied a few times over 40 or 50 years, but it?s still grandpa?s axe. I can think of a few ex-Works Sebring and Rally cars that have received new chassis, panels, engines etc. Despite that they are still the car that ran at Sebring or in the Liege-Rome-Liege. I may be mistaken, but I thought Bill Bolton had one of the ?59 Sebring 3000s. There were four of them, each with UK registration starting with UJB, painted British Racing Green and right hand drive. These cars were registered UJB 140, UJB 141, UJB 142 and UJB 143. Of great interest is that UJB 143 was also run at Le Mans and in late 1960 was sold to David Dixon who changed the registration to DD 300. Now there is a grandpa?s axe of an Austin-Healey if there ever was one. As far as I gather (I wasn?t there) the car that ran at Laguna Seca this year was CAN 171 which was/is a 1959/60 3000 Mk1 BN7 in left hand drive and finished in white. It?s chassis number HBN7L/5629. It was prepared by the DHMC in period and shipped to Austin Canada where it was raced in the 1960 Canadian Racing Drivers Association Championship. Not long back CAN 171 came up for sale at a RM/Sotheby?s auction where in the description it erroneously stated that it was previously registered as 57 FAC. This was not correct as 57 FAC was one of three BJ7s prepared for Sebring in 1963. The other cars were 54 FAC and 56 FAC. While 54 FAC and 56 FAC were used in the race, 57 FAC was used as a practice car. After Sebring 1963 57 FAC was sold by Geoff Healey to Austin Canada and raced extensively in that country. For years there has been confusion between CAN 171 and 57 FAC, but one is a two-seater 3000 Mk1 and the latter is a normal configuration BJ7. To confuse the matter back in period Austin Canada ran newspaper/magazine ads applauding the success of 57 FAC in various races, but used a photo of CAN 171. I may be in error, but as far as I know CAN 171 never saw any action at Sebring while 57 FAC did. 57 FAC is in Australia and I had the pleasure of running it at Phillip Island a few years back as part of an extensive article I prepared for Vintage Racecar magazine during which I made contact with previous owners and restorers.

It was flown to the UK for sale at some stage but I think it was returned to Oregon and subsequently sold. The mod sports race car which Gary refers to as the POS was also there at the time along with the Canadian Race Car CAN 171 If memory serves me correct then the race car was subsequently acquired by Steve Pike from Marsh Classic Restorations hear in Victoria and as far as I?m aware he may still have it. I think it may have been campaigned by Sid Segal at some stage so it had some history but don? hold me to it Cheers Graeme Molony Mt Martha Australia Email: gmolony1 at bigpond.com From: Patrick & Caroline Quinn Sent: Saturday, October 7, 2017 10:06 AM To: editorgary at aol.com ; healeydoc at sbcglobal.net ; healeys at autox.team.net Subject: Re: [Healeys] Austin-Healey 3000S in Monterey Historics Hello Gary I wonder how many ex competition cars are like grandpa?s axe. A new handle one year and a new head a few years later. That?s multiplied a few times over 40 or 50 years, but it?s still grandpa?s axe. I can think of a few ex-Works Sebring and Rally cars that have received new chassis, panels, engines etc. Despite that they are still the car that ran at Sebring or in the Liege-Rome-Liege. I may be mistaken, but I thought Bill Bolton had one of the ?59 Sebring 3000s. There were four of them, each with UK registration starting with UJB, painted British Racing Green and right hand drive. These cars were registered UJB 140, UJB 141, UJB 142 and UJB 143. Of great interest is that UJB 143 was also run at Le Mans and in late 1960 was sold to David Dixon who changed the registration to DD 300. Now there is a grandpa?s axe of an Austin-Healey if there ever was one. As far as I gather (I wasn?t there) the car that ran at Laguna Seca this year was CAN 171 which was/is a 1959/60 3000 Mk1 BN7 in left hand drive and finished in white. It?s chassis number HBN7L/5629. It was prepared by the DHMC in period and shipped to Austin Canada where it was raced in the 1960 Canadian Racing Drivers Association Championship. Not long back CAN 171 came up for sale at a RM/Sotheby?s auction where in the description it erroneously stated that it was previously registered as 57 FAC. This was not correct as 57 FAC was one of three BJ7s prepared for Sebring in 1963. The other cars were 54 FAC and 56 FAC. While 54 FAC and 56 FAC were used in the race, 57 FAC was used as a practice car. After Sebring 1963 57 FAC was sold by Geoff Healey to Austin Canada and raced extensively in that country. For years there has been confusion between CAN 171 and 57 FAC, but one is a two-seater 3000 Mk1 and the latter is a normal configuration BJ7. To confuse the matter back in period Austin Canada ran newspaper/magazine ads applauding the success of 57 FAC in various races, but used a photo of CAN 171. I may be in error, but as far as I know CAN 171 never saw any action at Sebring while 57 FAC did. 57 FAC is in Australia and I had the pleasure of running it at Phillip Island a few years back as part of an extensive article I prepared for Vintage Racecar magazine during which I made contact with previous owners and restorers.

Another benefit is they will slightly improve ground clearance and every bit helps. However, the minimum rim width for the 180HR15 is 4.5". I believe all of the 48 spoke wire wheels have a width of 4" and are too narrow. Most of the 60 and 72 spoke rims are 4.5" wide or more.

Another benefit is they will slightly improve ground clearance and every bit helps. However, the minimum rim width for the 180HR15 is 4.5". I believe all of the 48 spoke wire wheels have a width of 4" and are too narrow. Most of the 60 and 72 spoke rims are 4.5" wide or more.

You can solder/braze, not weld, almost any aluminium containing alloys, even zamak. It looks very easy in the film, but it will need quite a lot of practice before you get a proper result and a total melt down of the item to be repaired can happen fairly easily. It is also rather expensive as far as I can remember. I have seen it demonstrated on nearly all classic car shows in the Netherlands and Belgium for at least the last 30 years. The thread repair looks a bit doubtful to me but I may be a bit to suspicious as a retired consumer researcher.

Mine did, but this one obviously does not. There is a bearing which I believe can be sourced commercially, and Star Auto should know how to source this. Also you should be able to save these parts from your broken DE bracket. They are held in place by three tube rivets which I sourced commercially years ago.

The part no. should be 22483B/D and the date is month and year, e.g. mine is 10 54 on a 11 Jan. '55 built car.

It may seem odd to start talking about it so soon, but there's a reason. It's going to be held on the grounds of one of the great estates of the gilded age in Beverly, MA, located on the North Shore about 25 miles north of Boston. We have reserved 40 rooms, but we expect a greater turnout. As long as we can get our reservations in early, we will be able to expand the number of rooms available to fit everyone in. Registration details aren't completed yet. but we want to give you an early heads-up so you can save the date. It's going to be a fantastic event and a wonderful location with an extremely reasonable price for the area.

Fingers still crossed, but all seems good.* During that ride, once the engine came up to operating temp of 180 the oil pressure needle began acting erratically during deceleration and at idle. Whereas In the past the oil pressure would fall off gradually by about 10-15 psi from maximum during deceleration, the needle was dropping very quickly whenever I took my foot off the throttle, and was falling to 20 psi--and sometimes less--at idle. Clearly something was wrong! This morning I drained the oil that I put in yesterday and inspected it for any debris--NONE. I removed the spin-on filter and cut it apart to inspect the filter medium--it too was clear of any debris. I began to suspect that the new oil pressure release valve was not closing all of the way, allowing oil to bypass it and giving lower readings, so I decided to remove and inspect it as well as the passage in which it operates (though I had done this yesterday prior to installing the new valve). When I disassembled the engine last week I used a 1/2"-13 tap and with finger pressure engaged the inside diameter of the oil release valve and extracted it from the passage. This morning, however, that same tap did not seem to be working on the new valve. I finally got the valve out using a tap with a slightly different taper and when I compared the new valve to the old I saw that there were some slight differences: while the outside diameter of the two valves measured the samec the new valve was made of much thinner material--.0047" versus .0057", which explained why the ID's were different and I could not extract the new valve with the same tap as worked on the old one. I reassembled the relief valve using the old part, spun on a new filter and refilled the engine with the same oil. On cold startup the oil pressure was about 5 psi higher than yesterday, varying between 40 to 60 psi from idle to 2500 rpm's +. I drove the car for an hour and at OT of 180 the oil pressure held at 55-60 psi at constant throttle and 35 psi at idle. This conforms to past performance and all seems right! I can only conclude that the thinner wall construction of the new valve allowed it to expand more when heated--just enough to allow it to jam in its passageway, not seat fully, resulting in lower OP. The Lesson Learned is not to assume anything, especially that new parts are the same as old ones! Best--Michael Oritt -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Physics will tell you that when a ring or cylinder is heated it will expand as it were a sheet, that is the OD will get larger, and the ID will also get larger. If the alloy of the two samples is the same the increase in OD will be the same. Granted, the thinner walled sample will expand more quickly over time the two would be the same at equal temp. Glad your problem is solved, whatever the reason.

It has been a great summer driving, putzing, reading this list, and meeting and talking to new Healey friends. I have some solace in the fact the car came with quite of few back issues of the AHCUSA magazine.

I seem to remember there used to be instructions with these radio's how to convert the radio, at least on the SMITHS-Radiomobile ones. The live and earth wire need to be resoldered on alternative positions on the print board. Most likely you can find more info by Googling "polarity change car radio".

The rear lamps flash normally when the switch is operated. The left one works as it should. All lamps are good. When I turn on the headlights the running lights illuminate. I installed a known working 1157 combination running and signal light and it would not flash. When I test the flasher unit per the workshop manual by connecting the terminals B and L and operating the direction indicator switch the flasher lamps do not operate, thus the flasher is good. Testing the brake switch overriding relay per the manual gives the following results: Connecting terminal 1 to terminals 2 and 3 - left hand front and rear lamps flash. Connecting terminal 2 to terminals 6 and 7 - right hand rear lamp flashes but the right hand front does not. What should I check now?

I got the badge from Moss. It is nicely finished and the studs on the back actually line up with the holes on my boot lid. Affixing the studs with the speed nuts provided is my problem. The studs are truncated cones (see attachment), rather than the usual pins, and they are rather short: .25". My aluminum boot lid is .125" thick with the primer and paint on it. The speed nuts are steel arcs. The arcs are .120" tall, leaving .005" of stud to grab. My question: are these cone shaped studs on badges typical now?

Use a blob of automotive sealant/adheasive, e.g as used for windscreens, around the studs and perhaps a very small amount under the badge. It will keep the moisture out and rust at bay.

Check voltage along the wire with a voice coil-type voltmeter (I don't think a DVM would respond fast enough). I haven't tried this myself, but the needle in the VM should bounce in time with the flasher if you've got voltage at each segment. I've got a coil-type VM if you want to borrow it, but I'm not working at Xilinx anymore (or you can swing by).

I used a polarity converter many years ago when I put a "modern" am fm cassette in my 67 Sprite (Pioneer KP5500, the things you remember). The inverter ran all the time and made a high pitched slightly audible squeal. After it drained my battery I added an inline switch. It also would cut out for a second if there were a sudden voltage change, such as tapping the brake lights. I messed around with the voltage regulator to try to compensate for the voltage drop, no help, screwed that up too. An all (many) subsequent cars I just switched polarity, much easier and never any problems.

Anyway I had an aftermarket tank originally from Sports and Classics that I obtained from somewhere and after pulling mine out and test fitting the other I see that the filler neck is at a slightly different angle. I think I can get it to connect up but wanted to know if anyone sees this as a non Healey tank. The fuel output fitting and sender unit flange are correct.It also appears to be a bit smaller and the tank bottom where the drain is located is a little different, i.e. 2 circular protrusions rather than one rectangular one. Please see photos, the filler necks may look different diameter but are the same. Tim Davis BN7 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I believe the antenna must be shielded as well. This happens automatically with the usual plastic or hard rubber mounting grommet but should the exterior of the antenna somehow touch either bare metal on the body or elsewhere a short will likely occur. It's only 12 volts so it won't be harmful but it will certainly get one's attention if the connection is good enough.

MGAguru has a great article on this for which here is a link http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/electric/et207.htm In brief, the negative earth radio will have its case bolted to the car structure as normal. The case will be at +12volt. Providing +24 volts on the live wire then provides a voltage difference of +12 volts between the live wire and earth. So the radio gets its 12 volts in the correct sense, while the radio doesn't need to be isolated from the car chassis. There's a choice of converters on ebay. The reason the old "converters" made noises is that they would have used an oscillator to alternate the DC to AC before transforming and rectifying. Modern devices are solid state and will be silent.

I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter. They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again. They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida. However, I would like to flush and seal myself. Has the members of the list have any suggestions?

A friend of mine has had many gas tanks done by him for old Volvos. The shop is called West York Radiator, which you can find contact information for on the internet.? It's on West KIng St.? The shop is not affiliated with anyone else, and because his services are no longer needed with modern cars, he could decide to retire as soon as he is able.? My opinion is that we should support businesses like this to keep them open as long as possible. His prices are also quite reasonable, actually downright cheap. Another friend of mine had his MGB GT radiator rodded out, which cost him $20. If you want another, more informed opinion of the shop and owner, I can check with my friend to see if he will entertain questions about the shop. Charlie On 10/26/2017 1:23 PM, Robert F.

I took a tank to a shop a few years ago and they said it had been sealed already and wouldn't work. I think it is like painting over peeling paint, if the old paint is peeling it will continue to peel with new paint on top, also the sealers are meant to stick to metal, not other sealers. I have had good luck with Bill Hirsch's product, but don't know if it would work on a previously treated tank.

I believe the antenna must be shielded as well. This happens automatically with the usual plastic or hard rubber mounting grommet but should the exterior of the antenna somehow touch either bare metal on the body or elsewhere a short will likely occur. It's only 12 volts so it won't be harmful but it will certainly get one's attention if the connection is good enough.

Nisonger has rebuilt the ALL the guages. But I can take my GPS and recheck it again. Tire size is a worn ( Like need replacement) 165/15 from Big O tires. As soon as I find some one who can install tires, true wire wheels including spoke adjustments and shave the tires I will get new ones. Any suggestions? The Carbs have been rebuilt for the second time less than a year ago. I have a Pertronics distributor ( installed and set up by a local garage less than a year ago ). I just got done adjusting the mixture and it acts just like the book says ( lift the needle and rpm increase momentarily and then it returns to an idle. Although I did find it was running on one carb. The screen on the back carb was clogged and not passing any gas. Isn't Ethonal great!!!! I might not that the engine only has 16K on it. I have run out of ideas, as you can see. So any more advanced ideas would be geatly, greatly appreciated. Hopefully I live long enough to resolve this problem.

I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter. They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again. They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida. However, I would like to flush and seal myself. Has the members of the list have any suggestions?

Begani) Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 12:17:54 -0400 Subject: [Healeys] Tires 165 HR 15 Tire King made in China Hi Guys: Sorry to continue to the tires subject. My 67 BJ8 had Pirelli's on when I bought it 30 years ago. When I looked at the price to replace them I said NO. Instead, I chose a Michelin a tire maker largely unknown to the USA market. However, I know them from my travels in Europe. Since the tire size as many small cars in Europe including VW, and they were renowned for their radial construction, and the price was very reasonable. Next set was Kelly made in Brazil by their owner Goodyear. Again good price and even looked like a Michelin. Kelly Goodyear no longer offers anything in that size. Even though the tires have little wear as they were made in 2005, I need a new set of tires, once the car is back on the road. So I began read all the comments on this list and figured that I would consider Vredestein 180 HR15 9th @ $185,10 which is rated for high speed driving. However, I wondered if anyone offers the classic all season size at a reasonable price and found it on TireRack.com @$79.95 each. It is made in China and branded as Tow King. This brand is an OE to some 5th Wheel Motor home/Camper trailers and has had reasonable reviews from my searches. Tow King is a brand of TBC which is owned 50% by Sumitomo Corp. Sumitomo China may be the maker of the tires because why not us their Chinese plant to provide lower cost tires to the world market. TBC owns Kingdom Tire Florida, Midas, NTB Sears, and Big O Tires and others. Classic All season 165-80R15 is virtually the same as the classic radial tires we have enjoyed the past 30-40 years. Rated for 118 mph and all seasons tread configuration. One review from a MG driver says he has 30,000 miles on his set and finds they perform well in all conditions especially on highway MPH turns. For us guys who are not putting thousands of miles on our cars and do not drive them hard, it sounds like a reasonably priced alterative to paying 2-3 times more for tires. Comments?

In the process I noticed that the fuel drains are missing from the inlet manifold. The fittings complete with nipples are in place, only the tubes themselves are missing. The nipples seem to be a larger diameter on the tubing end and smaller on the manifold end. I'm guessing this is to ensure the tubing goes in just far enough so that it's gripped when the nut is tightened. Can someone tell me the correct OD for the tubing? Is it copper?

So this works out to $167.00 for a gas tank. But if you want to get an aluminium one it's $619.99 minus the 20% which works out to $496.00.

I only get the digest, so sorry if this conversation took place days ago. Anyway, I just wanted to recommend the NEXEN SB802 165/80R15 as a possibility. They cost about $65 or $70 (Walmart or Ebay or lots of other places). Their size is totally adequate for our cars. And they drive great. I haven't had any issues with them whatsoever over the last couple of years. I had a local tire shop mount and balance the tires for about $20 a tire. So all in, I had a set of brand new, safe, reliable, modern tires for ~$400. They don't look vintage or anything like that, but they work just fine. Good luck. Andrew K.

When the car was shut off or would die due to fuel starvation the coating would drift away from the pickup tube & the engine would re-start. It took a long time to diagnose the source of the problem. When you think about it, the inside of a rusty fuel tank & fuel is a harsh environment to try to protect with a coating. There is a point where a new fuel tank makes a lot of sense.

I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter. They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again. They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida. However, I would like to flush and seal myself. Has the members of the list have any suggestions?

Several trips to KY DMV required getting the estate to confirm the sale, getting a copy of the death cert, getting the executor to talk to KY DMV re the estate and forwarding a copy of the will with the names of the heirs who sold it on a clean Calif title. The death had occurred 10-12 years previous. After about 5 trips to the KY DMV with all the docs, etc. the registration was declined because the will did not have the VIN # on it. So I got back to the Calif DMV and told them the issue. They said just pay them the sales tax and they would issue a CA title in my name. Voila and I got the title after several months of agony and time wasted. But after another trip to the KY DMV they approved the title but claimed the car VIN was not 13 digits nor was Austin Healey in their computer system. When I asked if I could see their computer screen, I told them it was. British not German and add enough zero's to the suffix of the VIN number to satisfy their computer form.

Some are more sticklers for the rules while others are not. Maybe the DMV that David deals with is one such place that follows the letter of the rule. Out here in San Bernardino I was told all I needed was an engine in the bare body shell I brought to them for verification. Since it is a long way before I will be dropping the engine in, the car will not see the DMV for a while. You don't put an engine in a bare engine bay. Brake piping, insulating the foot box with the asbestos replacement and such has to be done before the engine goes in. My original goal was to just bring in the body shell to avoid paying a high transfer tax. It is easier justifying the low purchase price of a body shell than the value of a finished car.

So this works out to $167.00 for a gas tank. But if you want to get an aluminium one it's $619.99 minus the 20% which works out to $496.00. I have difficulty understanding why, someone who drives a car worth around $50000.00 or more, does not want to spend between $167.00 to $500.00 for a gas tank. It blows my mind.

The marina did not do the sale of the boat in accordance with Florida Law, so began our 1-2 year back and forth with the DMV. At first the marina basically said it was our problem. I got involved and mentioned that the Sherriff and the country law enforcement authorities might consider a fraud action and the $5,000 sale price is a major felony and could mean jail time. So we began together to try and obtain clear title from KY. Once the marina sent the KY owner, who sold the boat 5 years ago, the notice of auction because of storage fees owed as the 2 subsequent owners never register the boat, we thought we had proper documents for a title and registration. Then the lady at the DMV claimed she would not proceed because the VIN was not 13 digits. I explained the boat was built in Canada. She argued it makes no difference, KY or some previous state should have made the conversion. After spending quality time on Boat Blogs, I found how to convert the Hull # to 13 digits. Still she said NO! So I went over to another DMV and explained the situation and a more reasonable lady got the computer to work up a title without going back to the owner in KY. By the way, my sailing Buddy continued to sail the boat for 3 years without a title and registration because it was originally Federally Documented so it could travel outside the USA. Terribly illegal, but, as long as you do not get stopped, ?only the shadow knows?. These lists on the internet are great sources of information.

Several trips to KY DMV required getting the estate to confirm the sale, getting a copy of the death cert, getting the executor to talk to KY DMV re the estate and forwarding a copy of the will with the names of the heirs who sold it on a clean Calif title. The death had occurred 10-12 years previous. After about 5 trips to the KY DMV with all the docs, etc. the registration was declined because the will did not have the VIN # on it. So I got back to the Calif DMV and told them the issue. They said just pay them the sales tax and they would issue a CA title in my name. Voila and I got the title after several months of agony and time wasted. But after another trip to the KY DMV they approved the title but claimed the car VIN was not 13 digits nor was Austin Healey in their computer system. When I asked if I could see their computer screen, I told them it was. British not German and add enough zero's to the suffix of the VIN number to satisfy their computer form.

They are not familiar with the fact that later Austin-Healey VINs cannot be verified by or related to an engine number and vice versa but they are following the law as written by others who also aren't familiar with Healeys. They also are not aware that many Healeys have already had their VIN plates re-created using a new blank (in many states, including North Carolina, it is a felony to replace a VIN plate and only an official representative of the manufacturer can do so. Kinda hard to find a BMC representative today to correct a mistake made years ago). As someone who has sought to identify and track ownership of BJ8s for 20 years, I can tell you that there are an incredible number of cars running around with messed-up identification numbers and many owners are not even aware of it. It seems to be (or have been) very easy to register a car with these incorrect numbers, but like pulling teeth to get them corrected today. I've seen a ton of cars registered with the engine serial number, which in one or two cases is not the original engine for the car it claims to be. Every U.S. state has its own vehicle laws and regulations, so experience in one state is no help to resolve problems in another state.

When the car was shut off or would die due to fuel starvation the coating would drift away from the pickup tube & the engine would re-start. It took a long time to diagnose the source of the problem. When you think about it, the inside of a rusty fuel tank & fuel is a harsh environment to try to protect with a coating. There is a point where a new fuel tank makes a lot of sense.

I called them because of heavy rust plugging the full pump and carb filter. They were surprised it lasted that long and recommended having it done again. They are now a part of a rather expensive franchise program which has dealers in Florida. However, I would like to flush and seal myself. Has the members of the list have any suggestions?

Maybe the DMV that David deals with is one such place that follows the letter of the rule.? Out here in San Bernardino I was told all I needed was an engine in the bare body shell I brought to them for verification.? Since it is a long way before I will be dropping the engine in, the car will not see the DMV for a while.? You don't put an engine in a bare engine bay.? Brake piping, insulating the foot box with the asbestos replacement and such has to be done before the engine goes in.? My original goal was to just bring in the body shell to avoid paying a high transfer tax.? It is easier justifying the low purchase price of a body shell than the value of a finished car.?

I couldn't fathom a guess at a fair price for them and would suggest putting them for auction might be the best way to get maximum return. I think they are valuable enough to consider consigning them to one of the specialty automotive auctions, rather than just throwing them on eBay. Having said that, I recall that perhaps 25 years ago someone had some reproductions made that were of very high quality, but would not be as valuable as the original so determining if they were period produced would be key to establishing worth. One such way to do so would be to use the date code etched into the Triplex glass in the screen: http://www.mgexp.com/article/triplex-window-date-code.html Rick Neville On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 11:15 AM, Randy Hicks wrote: > I have a friend who is interested in selling an early set of BN1 Perspek > solid side curtains (never been on a car) > > He also has a set (2) ?AH" Aero Screens that are excellent but no mounting > hardware that may be available. > > He is trying to determine their value.

Of course, there are no decibel measurements to establish what a Healey sounded like or any other car for that matter, so I guess we'll have to rely on the finely tuned ear of the inspector.

(AP) ? California's governor and legislative leaders on Wednesday proposed raising $52 billion to fix the state's roads through a big gasoline tax increase, higher car registration fees and a charge on emission-free vehicles. The 10-year plan would boost gasoline excise taxes for the first time in more than two decades, raising them 12 cents per gallon ? a 43 percent increase. The tax would rise automatically with inflation. For the first time, owners of zero emission vehicles would pay a $100 annual fee because they use public roads but don't pay gasoline taxes that fund highway maintenance. The plan also includes a sliding fee on vehicles, with owners of cheaper vehicles paying less. The fee, separate from annual vehicle registration fees, would range from $25 a year for vehicles worth less than $5,000 to $175 for cars worth $60,000 and up. Gov. Jerry Brown said the plan would cost most drivers less than $10 per month and would be offset by reduced vehicle-repair expenses?? By DON THOMPSON and SOPHIA BOLLAG, Associated Press, March 29, 2017, at 9:11 p.m "California motorists will start paying higher gas and diesel taxes on Nov. 1 under legislation signed Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown to provide $5.2 billion annually for road and bridge repairs and expanded mass transit in the state..." Los Angeles Times, April 28, 2017 I have seen nothing that states how the value of vehicles will be determined but I am sure they will choose the method that returns the greatest amount of tax money.

That is the one thing I did not check because I had not expected it to fail. I installed a new wiring harness 6,000 miles ago but I reused original bullet connectors. I am surprised it worked this long. John San Jose, CA ?62 BT7 The right hand front signal light stopped flashing. The rear lamps flash normally when the switch is operated. The left one works as it should. All lamps are good. When I turn on the headlights the running lights illuminate. I installed a known working 1157 combination running and signal light and it would not flash When I test the flasher unit per the workshop manual by connecting the terminals B and L and operating the direction indicator switch the flasher lamps do not operate, thus the flasher is good. Testing the brake switch overriding relay per the manual gives the following results: Connecting terminal 1 to terminals 2 and 3 ? left hand front and rear lamps flash. Connecting terminal 2 to terminals 6 and 7 ? right hand rear lamp flashes but the right hand front does not. What should I check now?

I discovered that Tire Rack offers a "Classic" brand in that size, which I suspect is made in China, for $79.95. You can call it up by requesting tires for a 1957 Karmann Ghia. In addition, Coker Tire offers the Vredestein Sprint Classics for $119 and Michelin XZXs for $188. At the top end, Lucas Classic Tires offers Pirelli Cinturatos in that size, ? which the Pirelli Site says are appropriate for Alfa-Romeos of that period -- for $199 each. For my money, I've been running tires of the "Classic" variety under a variety of sidewall brands. My current set (which should probably be replaced soon -- no tire should EVER be used that is more than 10 years old -- manufacturing month and year are marked on the tire in the format MMYY) is labeled "Metric" and was ordered through my local tire supplier/mounter. As I remember, they fitted them with inner tubes -- I don't trust wire wheels to hold air -- and the inner tubes are a standard size used in agricultural equipment. SInce I'm VERY unlikely to drive my Healey faster than 80 mph, I don't think they need to be speed-rated, but I sort of like the idea of buying a tire from a known manufacturer, so an extra $120 on a once a decade purchase isn't a real deal-breaker. Now if I were buying tires for use on the track, I would definitely be looking at the Pirellis or Michelins. G.

(AP) ? California's governor and legislative leaders on Wednesday proposed raising $52 billion to fix the state's roads through a big gasoline tax increase, higher car registration fees and a charge on emission-free vehicles. The 10-year plan would boost gasoline excise taxes for the first time in more than two decades, raising them 12 cents per gallon ? a 43 percent increase. The tax would rise automatically with inflation. For the first time, owners of zero emission vehicles would pay a $100 annual fee because they use public roads but don't pay gasoline taxes that fund highway maintenance. The plan also includes a sliding fee on vehicles, with owners of cheaper vehicles paying less. The fee, separate from annual vehicle registration fees, would range from $25 a year for vehicles worth less than $5,000 to $175 for cars worth $60,000 and up. Gov. Jerry Brown said the plan would cost most drivers less than $10 per month and would be offset by reduced vehicle-repair expenses?? By DON THOMPSON and SOPHIA BOLLAG, Associated Press, March 29, 2017, at 9:11 p.m "California motorists will start paying higher gas and diesel taxes on Nov. 1 under legislation signed Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown to provide $5.2 billion annually for road and bridge repairs and expanded mass transit in the state..." Los Angeles Times, April 28, 2017 I have seen nothing that states how the value of vehicles will be determined but I am sure they will choose the method that returns the greatest amount of tax money.

That is the one thing I did not check because I had not expected it to fail. I installed a new wiring harness 6,000 miles ago but I reused original bullet connectors. I am surprised it worked this long. John San Jose, CA ?62 BT7 The right hand front signal light stopped flashing. The rear lamps flash normally when the switch is operated. The left one works as it should. All lamps are good. When I turn on the headlights the running lights illuminate. I installed a known working 1157 combination running and signal light and it would not flash When I test the flasher unit per the workshop manual by connecting the terminals B and L and operating the direction indicator switch the flasher lamps do not operate, thus the flasher is good. Testing the brake switch overriding relay per the manual gives the following results: Connecting terminal 1 to terminals 2 and 3 ? left hand front and rear lamps flash. Connecting terminal 2 to terminals 6 and 7 ? right hand rear lamp flashes but the right hand front does not. What should I check now?
