You fit the glazing seal to the glass, the bottom should be one-piece and U-shaped, and the top is a separate piece.? We didn't have any trouble with the seal we got from Moss; it's wider than you need but you trim the excess at a 45-deg angle from the frame pieces to the glass (be careful not to score the glass).? The top seal and the top of the 'U' should be cut at 45-deg angles to each other at the corners as well.? I wrote Fourintune (Kay?) to ask for their secret but, for some reason, their replies didn't come through and she gave up after a couple tries (maybe it's one of those ancient, mythical things that should never be revealed).? You could write them and try again, and if you do get a reply please let us all know (and I hope we don't all die under mysterious circumstances shortly thereafter). Happy New Year All!

The difference between the 100 screen and that fitted to the roadster six-cylinder cars is like chalk and cheese. The only similarity between the two is they are both fitted to an Austin-Healey. Not only is the glass a different shape, cut and curvature, but the screen surrounds are completely different. All the production four cylinder cars (except the 100S) have the same windscreen surround and glass and all the production six-cylinder roadsters have the same (but different to the 100s) windscreen and glass. Fitting a six-cylinder screen to a four-cylinder car is a pain in the bum. I know this from personal experience as the BN3/1 has one.

They can be made to fit, but sometimes not without quite a bit of fiddling. The numbers were unique to the windscreens, and the numbers left and right were different but somewhat similar, however they matched top and bottom. My car has its original windscreen, and is numbered C97 (top and bottom) on the left and C87 (top and bottom) on the right.

Not only is the glass a different shape, cut and curvature, but the screen surrounds are completely different.

A while ago I was looking at the six cylinder engine rod bolts and found they are not available in high strength steel and the only options appear to be used original or lucky-dip replacements of unknown origin. I looked at several bolts from other engines and with the help of ARP tech support settled on 454 Chev part number 135-6401 which are 1/16" too short and 0.0075" bigger diameter. This increases the torque from stock 50lbft to 80lbft or approx 60% higher clamping force as well as providing press-fit location of the cap. The caps needed spot facing to account for the reduced length which I achieved with a 3/4" counterbore off Ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/253113534458 and a 7/16" pilot https://www.ebay.com/itm/370673620820 Although the counterbore is for a Morse Taper, it works just fine in a regular drill chuck. I used a low cost adjustable HSS hand reamer http://tradetools.co.nz/products/5620400 and increased the cutting diameter gradually until the caps fit snugly onto the 'wave' section of the bolts. There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I don't have a press. Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel so honing isn't a good option. Cheers, Andy. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Different brands of pads can have different co-efficient of friction cold. If you had brand A on one side and brand B on the other this could cause this symptom.

I think I found the culprit. I came out this morning and found a small puddle of fluid on the floor just inside the right tire. Perhaps the cool weather made the seal ring brittle and it cracked. The leaking fluid then lubed the rotor and the right brake wouldn't work well until the brakes warmed up and wore the fluid off the rotor. Then the left pull went away.

There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I don't have a press. Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel so honing isn't a good option. Cheers, Andy.

However there is something comforting in that the Cricket test match between Australia and England is proceeding. Just cleaned and polished the narrow copper vacuum advance tube in the BN3 that goes from the rear carburettor around the back of the engine and then to the distributor. Bent around the tube towards the distributor is a steel clip that bolts on to something, but my memory is failing me and the photos taken a few years back don't show it. Remember it is a very early six-cylinder engine. Perhaps it fastens to one of the bolts holding the heater outlet to the cylinder head. Can anyone help please?

However there is something comforting in that the Cricket test match between Australia and England is proceeding. Just cleaned and polished the narrow copper vacuum advance tube in the BN3 that goes from the rear carburettor around the back of the engine and then to the distributor. Bent around the tube towards the distributor is a steel clip that bolts on to something, but my memory is failing me and the photos taken a few years back don't show it. Remember it is a very early six-cylinder engine. Perhaps it fastens to one of the bolts holding the heater outlet to the cylinder head. Can anyone help please?

I have figured out that those cotter pins have to protrude about 1/4 inch above the king pin boss and then tightened a lot while moving the king pin around to get them centered.I was having play at the wheel because the cotter pin wasn't really tight and blaming worn fulcrum pins and king pins. I replaced the short pins with old long ones and all is well again.Ken Freese65 BJ8 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

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.

I have figured out that those cotter pins have to protrude about 1/4 inch above the king pin boss and then tightened a lot while moving the king pin around to get them centered.I was having play at the wheel because the cotter pin wasn't really tight and blaming worn fulcrum pins and king pins. I replaced the short pins with old long ones and all is well again.Ken Freese65 BJ8 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I don't have a press. Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel so honing isn't a good option.

However there is something comforting in that the Cricket test match between Australia and England is proceeding. Just cleaned and polished the narrow copper vacuum advance tube in the BN3 that goes from the rear carburettor around the back of the engine and then to the distributor. Bent around the tube towards the distributor is a steel clip that bolts on to something, but my memory is failing me and the photos taken a few years back don't show it. Remember it is a very early six-cylinder engine. Perhaps it fastens to one of the bolts holding the heater outlet to the cylinder head. Can anyone help please?

A while ago I was looking at the six cylinder engine rod bolts and found they are not available in high strength steel and the only options appear to be used original or lucky-dip replacements of unknown origin. I looked at several bolts from other engines and with the help of ARP tech support settled on 454 Chev part number 135-6401 which are 1/16" too short and 0.0075" bigger diameter. This increases the torque from stock 50lbft to 80lbft or approx 60% higher clamping force as well as providing press-fit location of the cap. The caps needed spot facing to account for the reduced length which I achieved with a 3/4" counterbore off Ebay https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F253113534458&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=2RGCfuvfdOIvfXbTXKpmyfRSaKBCiPr9KqxlCqjPNI8%3D&reserved=0 and a 7/16" pilot https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F370673620820&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=48X2HYKU1fKv%2F%2Bnbtx2boOpPbFSpogungA0%2BHEmlQv0%3D&reserved=0 Although the counterbore is for a Morse Taper, it works just fine in a regular drill chuck. I used a low cost adjustable HSS hand reamer https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftradetools.co.nz%2Fproducts%2F5620400&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=CMGR0ix8p0KaRUyWZwda0clJyVxLt2s4pNK7tj8vfSo%3D&reserved=0 and increased the cutting diameter gradually until the caps fit snugly onto the 'wave' section of the bolts. There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I don't have a press. Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel so honing isn't a good option.

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.

The caps needed spot facing to account for the reduced length which I achieved with a 3/4" counterbore off Ebay https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F253113534458&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=2RGCfuvfdOIvfXbTXKpmyfRSaKBCiPr9KqxlCqjPNI8%3D&reserved=0 and a 7/16" pilot https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F370673620820&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=48X2HYKU1fKv%2F%2Bnbtx2boOpPbFSpogungA0%2BHEmlQv0%3D&reserved=0 Although the counterbore is for a Morse Taper, it works just fine in a regular drill chuck.

There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I don't have a press. Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel so honing isn't a good option.

I have figured out that those cotter pins have to protrude about 1/4 inch above the king pin boss and then tightened a lot while moving the king pin around to get them centered.I was having play at the wheel because the cotter pin wasn't really tight and blaming worn fulcrum pins and king pins. I replaced the short pins with old long ones and all is well again.Ken Freese65 BJ8 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You could, if originality isn't important, use a single 12 volt battery connected to the "ends" of the string, effectively eliminating one of the original batteries. I still don't recommend paralleling two batteries, as the two will never be equal in voltage or internal resistance and will discharge each other quicker than just using a single battery. It would work if the two were isolated by a diode isolator to prevent back-feeding from one battery to the other. A single 12 volt battery will be the best solution. Gil 61 BT7 From: Henry A.

If you hooked up two 12 volt batteries in paralell that would be 12 boots too. The simplest solution if you don't want to go with two six volts is to go with one small high quality and high amp 12 volt and wire it like a "normal" car, saves money, fewer connections to corrode, and saves weight. I think I used a 26r, but there are many battery resources online that will show dimensions. https://www.jegs.com/Sizecharts/bcigroup.html I had to modify the battery tray slightly to fit. Of course if you goal is ultimate originality get 6v Lucas tar top repros from Moss.

Yes I kept trickle charges on it and charged them before using them but the most I could get out of them was 2 years and then one would crack, or simply would not keep a charge. This was on my BN6. My suggestion is to use one small 12 volt battery, mine seem to last about 5 years and my car is nowhere near Concours so I do not car about it but if that is what you are looking for, change the batteries when you go for judging, a hassle perhaps but it will take less time to change the batteries than to clean it for Concours.

It only is kind of overkill - like putting a battery from a big truck in a tiny car. You have more amps available than you can use and of course more weight than necessary. But the standard dynamo probably will not be able to charge these bigger batteries as it only delivers 22 amps. The 100 needs 50 amp.hr. at 10 hour rate. And it got two 6 V batteries (inline, so together 12 V) that can be mounted easier in the small space behind the seats. If you find a small 12 V battery that fits in there this might be another solution. Gel batteries are fantastic for their purpose which is to deliver current at low rates for a longer period. In a car the type of current you need most is short and high power for starting. Here the classic acid battery has its advantages and it can be recharged faster than a gel battery. And the gel battery needs a special charging device. The dynamo in our cars is built for charging acid batteries and would destroy a gel battery. Another solution might be an AGM battery (Absorbent Glass Matt) which is the newest development in acid batteries, where the glass matt completely binds the acid. These batteries are put together under pressure and therefore won't loose acid even if you mount it upside down. You only have to search an AGM that is built for starting (and not for long term delivery of current). And you can charge them with all classic chargers. Biggest disadvantage is the price. For the needs in our cars the classic acid battery should be the best choice.

I purchased the smallest ones I could, suitable for a small fwd car or a ride-on mower, which fit without too much pain. They are approx 350cca each which gives about 700cca in all, which is more than enough to at least make the starter motor turn over my hi-comp motor to start every time. They cost approx $100 Australian each ($60USD approximately) so are also much cheaper than the unreliable 6v ones. They are joined in parallel, and run leads to starter, +ve from one battery and -ve from the other so they are both working and charging together rather than jumping one to the other battery. I recently had to replace them after 6 years due to lack of use.

You could, if originality isn't important, use a single 12 volt battery connected to the "ends" of the string, effectively eliminating one of the original batteries. I still don't recommend paralleling two batteries, as the two will never be equal in voltage or internal resistance and will discharge each other quicker than just using a single battery. It would work if the two were isolated by a diode isolator to prevent back-feeding from one battery to the other. A single 12 volt battery will be the best solution. Gil 61 BT7 From: Henry A.

Also fill up with distilled water regularly if at all possible, however these days many are sealed for life. The 6V old pattern batteries which are now available are apparently made to a very poor standard as a less than 2 years lifespan is very little. You would have expected that may be in the 50's for the cheapest cowboy batteries. You can probably claim under warranty. In my last 5 daily drivers I had the factory original batteries for more than 10 years. In my Jensen-Healey a new battery was installed in 2000 by the P.O. When I bought the car in 2008 the battery was still OK. During that time the car ran less than 1000mls. I had to get a new battery in 2009 which is still functioning well. During this time I did about 30.000mls although the last few years I am limited to about 3000mls by the insurance company. Two small 12V batteries in parallel have more than enough capacity for the starter motor. The dynamo/alternator will be well able to charge any 12V battery/ies as long as the electrical consumption of the car does not exceed the charging capacity of the dynamo/alternator. No worries there.

I decided to see if they were available just in case they failed in the near future. Googling Exide 6 volt batteries or 6 volt batteries went nowhere. Found the most information from the Model T, and Antique Tractor lists because the 6 volt batteries are available as Tractor Batteries. Autozone has a Duralast under the part number 1-6Volt. If you do not use that code you will not find it. It is made by Johnson Controls a quality battery manufacturer who makes Sears Diehard and others. Also, Tractor Supply under Exide Heavy-Duty Commercial Battery, 1 for $69.99. SKU# 47050699 If you cannot find it ask for a Tractor battery at your local store. They will say "oh, that one" because it is not listed as a 6 volt battery, just a tractor battery, and they are instock. Also, when searching for a 6 volt battery try the generic description 6 volt Group 1. Have fun. Bob Begani BJ8 '67 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi all. For a 67 BJ8 - I've looked through the archive and googled to see if I could find the answer to which fasteners go where, and in which orientation. All I was able to come up with was a reference to some diagram that used to be on the Moss site (not there any longer that I can see), and a brief mention of reversing the direction on the fronts of the front fenders) http://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?3,1118 Similarly, the Anderson / Moment book p 161 simply says "Since the fasteners used to secure the fenders are of several different types, reference should be made to the Service Parts List for details on the correct fasteners used in each location" which I don't have :-( Can anyone lend a hand / pointer? One last thing - I believe I read somewhere that the rubber buffer for the front wheel arch / fender was actually supposed to be painter body color, is this accurate? Painting rubber? Obviously the paint could have come off over the last 50 years, but the old ones had no indications or being painted. Thanks for your help!

I'm in the UK so have a different selection of suppliers. I used the bog standard glass from AHSpares together with their glazing rubber. They couldn't supply the rubber strip that goes in the bottom of the frame channel. I got that from an eBay supplier size 3mm thick by 10mm wide and cut it down to about 8mm wide with a craft knife and steel straight edge. Fitting each frame section over the glazing strip was quite a struggle. The glass was slightly less tall than the old one and even optimizing its vertical position I ended up with a tiny gap at one of the bottom corners. I have sealed this with clear sealant and it's now invisible. Hope it doesn't leak. The frame to body seal which I had replaced new only a few years ago I left installed, just easing about 2 inches out of the channel at each side to reveal the corner screws. Corner screws are 4 BA CSK, all replaced and holes retappedFrame to post screws are 2BA CSK ditto above. One of the holes had to be abandoned and a new one drilled and tapped alongside. This is of course hidden on the 4 cylinder cars but not on the 6s!

Hi all. For a 67 BJ8 - I've looked through the archive and googled to see if I could find the answer to which fasteners go where, and in which orientation. All I was able to come up with was a reference to some diagram that used to be on the Moss site (not there any longer that I can see), and a brief mention of reversing the direction on the fronts of the front fenders) http://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?3,1118 Similarly, the Anderson / Moment book p 161 simply says "Since the fasteners used to secure the fenders are of several different types, reference should be made to the Service Parts List for details on the correct fasteners used in each location" which I don't have :-( Can anyone lend a hand / pointer? One last thing - I believe I read somewhere that the rubber buffer for the front wheel arch / fender was actually supposed to be painter body color, is this accurate? Painting rubber? Obviously the paint could have come off over the last 50 years, but the old ones had no indications or being painted. Thanks for your help!

I have no way of checking the length-width-height of that battery, but it looks approximately right, and all you would have to do is remove the stick-on label and it would have a nice generic appearance and would look nice in the vehicle. Given its applications, it should be pretty durable, too, probably a lot better than the cosmetic show-focused batteries that are being produced in much smaller numbers. G.

These batteries are manufactured for Interstate by Johnson Control who was manufacturing the batteries here in California, however as all Companies want to make more profit about 5 years ago they shut down operations in California and started making the batteries in Mexico, well you can see what that will do, the quality started to drop down tremendously to a point were they have high battery failure we had to drop selling Interstate Batteries. Most mechanic will not install these batteries in their customers vehicle's. Now you can buy Interstate Batteries at Costco, even Triple AAA sells them, just junk batteries. There is a battery which we are currently selling called Deka,this battery is manufactured in the USA and they have an excellent record, we have been selling them for a while and have not had any problems." I've had bad experiences with Interstate--OEM battery for my Mustang--and Motorcraft (also Hecho en Mexico but not sure if by Johnson Controls).? He thinks JC might still make batteries in the US, but only the eastern states get them.? He also theorizes that recycling lead may cause problems.? I have a Deka in my Mustang and so far, so good.

I wonder sometimes what really causes the problems with some of these parts and accessories. I have a hard time believing that a company like Interstate, just because their batteries are made in another country, they cannot be of equal quality. Unless they change the method and the standard under which these are assembled, it should not matter whether they are made in Mexico, USA, Bangladesh or China. The quality should be the same, the only savings here should be that they are assembled by someone making $1.00 an hour as opposed to someone making $12.00 an hour and for all I know, they could be assembled by a robot, so it should matter even less. If however, in order to keep the prices down, Interstate changes the standard the battery is supposed to meet, that is something else entirely.

I decided to see if they were available just in case they failed in the near future. Googling Exide 6 volt batteries or 6 volt batteries went nowhere. Found the most information from the Model T, and Antique Tractor lists because the 6 volt batteries are available as Tractor Batteries. Autozone has a Duralast under the part number 1-6Volt. If you do not use that code you will not find it. It is made by Johnson Controls a quality battery manufacturer who makes Sears Diehard and others. Also, Tractor Supply under Exide Heavy-Duty Commercial Battery, 1 for $69.99. SKU# 47050699 If you cannot find it ask for a Tractor battery at your local store. They will say ?oh, that one? because it is not listed as a 6 volt battery, just a tractor battery, and they are instock. Also, when searching for a 6 volt battery try the generic description 6 volt Group 1. Have fun. Bob Begani BJ8 ?67 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Spill some acid on the floor in a US plant, it probably gets some absorbent material thrown on it, then scooped up and put in a container for proper disposal at a hazmat site (yeah, I know it doesn't always happen that way).? Spill some in, say, a Chinese or Mexican plant it gets squeegeed or rinsed off the floor into a drain that goes to the local sewer or, more likely, to the nearest river.? Quality isn't just a matter of assembling things, but maintaining an efficient, clean all-around work environment; i.e. the 'who gives a crap' attitude can become pervasive.? I bet we all check out the condition of any shop we take any of our cars to for maintenance or repair, for just that reason. 2) Workers getting paid a sustenance wage simply aren't going to feel any pride in what they're making, compared to a worker getting an honest wage, some benefits and at least a little respect; i.e. no 'skin in the game.' 3) Besides the machines and processes--fairly easy to transplant--there is often a great deal of 'institutional knowledge' involved in factory assembly processes.? I read a rather long article about the workers in one of the Midwestern plants that are being exported.? Although it was an automated plant, one woman had run a particular machine for many years and was intimately familiar with its quirks and idiosyncrasies.? Even though she trained the Mexican crew that was taking her and her comrades' jobs they couldn't get the machine to perform as well as when she ran it.? No amount of oversight from a few gringos cracking the whip was going to replicate the years of experience she had working that machine. I think the 'recycling of lead' might theory might have some relevance; it's possible some contaminants can't be removed in a recycling process.? I've noticed that the high-priced AGM batteries all advertise that they use 'pure' lead.? Recycling a toxic substance like lead is a good thing, but it may have a downside.

The acid flux had to be cleaned off the straps by hand because, if the residue was left on the straps, eventually, it would destroy the straps thereby reducing the life of the battery. Along came an inventor who created an automated procedure to solder the straps which could have revolutionized the industry. However, they could not figure out how to clean the straps automatically until they replaced the acid flux with a non-acid flux which allowed the automated production to become successful. The maker of the machinery sold the flux under their name, so as a young international sales rep looking for more business in the lines he carried, I searched for battery makers who bought the machinery outside the USA and convinced them to buy the flux from the maker. Over the next 50 years, the worldwide industry converted the battery making to use this process, and other makers of the machinery were created. Some were not interested in buying our flux and created their own with questionable results. Most of the time, I was successful in convincing the actual users of the equipment to use our non-acid flux as the cost was a minor part of the production process, until a bean counter would disrupt the production by buying a local product on the cheap. The Johnson Controls battery making operation has been operating in Monterrey, Mexico for over 30 years in cooperation with local firms. As the American automotive manufacturers produced more and more cars in Mexico the battery makers in northern Mexico became larger and larger. So I set up a distributor in Monterrey to supply many of the battery makers (Accumuladores) in Northern Mexico including Johnson Controls. It has been over 10 years since I retired and my client, the maker of the Non Acid Battery making flux, took over the business. Who knows what flux Johnson and other Accumulators are now using! At any rate, almost all makers of batteries or the makers of other products use the same or similar equipment and anywhere along the production line, changes can create problems which they do not know about until the rate of battery failure increases which may be 5 years later. If Johnson Controls is not supplying batteries to GM, Ford, Chrysler and so on of high quality and reliability in Mexico and the cars are being sold in the USA and Canada, they would be in deep you know what. I do not know if Interstate Batteries are still being made by JC or some other Accumuladores in Monterrey as I have no longer any contacts in the business. I do know that I do not have to buy a new battery every September as my father did for our 1953 Chevrolet Belair so the car would start in the winter. In addition, my 5 year old Duracell Battery bought at Sams Club is still turning over my Healey, not because I drive it every day! It is because I charge it every 30-60 days to make certain that sulfides on the plates do not reduce the life of the battery, and the batteries on my 2 sailboats are lasting 5-10 years because of using a particular battery charger which has automated that process. I tend to think that much of the returns on batteries is the result of limited use of the vehicle, and all those energy sapping sensors in the new cars reducing the life of the battery. Again, since I no longer go to the IBMA (Independent Battery Manufactures Association) yearly meeting, I impart to you what is going on in the industry today.

I may be a conspiracy theorist, but it sure seems to me that in the name of 'shareholder value' corners are being cut anywhere they can be to reduce COGS, hence increasing managements' bonuses (think Takata airbags, GM ignition switches, etc.).? My main complaint is I've had several leakers, a couple of which were my mistake--overcharging or mishandling--but others weren't.? I prefer 'maintenance required' batteries because sometimes you can spot problems that may not be apparent with the sealed type but, overall, the sealed type are probably better built.

II BT7 with the shoulder harness attachment already there.? That is C on BCS2 attached.? See that on BCS1 attached and on BCS2.? You may want to consider a three point setup. On the tunnel there is an attachment point showing in your picture.? That is E on BCS2 attached. On the outboard side are two holes that the attached bracket A will fit up to.? See A on BCS2.? You already have the strengthening plate below, which is B on BCS2. British Car Specialists has the right stuff, so maybe David Nock will weigh in or you could get in touch with them.

Another thing to remember is that a lot of the cars that go to these auctions are not that great when you actually go there and take a serious look at some of them. Many have been done in a superficial way just to get them to shine through the auction and then the problems start. The really good cars with provenance will always sell and the demand and prices will remain high. But so often, at a place like Barrett-Jackson, you will see a car with dubious past with supposedly really low mileage, and the announcer will claim that this Camaro is one of only 20 painted that colour, that year and with a 4 speed. Pure BS, GM made 58000 Camaro that year period, nothing rare about it. When people realizes that these are only sale tactics, they also realize that they don't have a rare car, but it had an inflated price. This correction in the market is long overdue and we will be left with those who really appreciate the cars for what they are, a fun thing to drive and enjoy while building memories.

If you buy kits, you wind up with duplicate tools. The taps/dies that one buys individually tend to be better and to cost more too. But, you only buy the sizes that you need??. Likewise, the tools that come in the kits aren?t that great either?.You get what you pay for.

Yes its great to know it is still worth more $ than I have into it, but it has been a lifetime project to restore and maintain. 43 years so far. For many of us these cars pare our hobby.

Do these things work on braided hoses? It seems to me that, were the clamp strong enough to squish the hose flat, it would deform the braiding and the hose would never recover?????

He has followed my progress in completing my Healey and I suggested he do just 20 min a week on the car. That way it won't be taunting him every time he goes into the garage and little by little he will be making some progress. He can then build on that success and maybe even put more time in on it. There was a period of poor health and little money when I followed my own advice and cleaned parts, removed or installed some bit or widget and I felt like I was at least moving the project forward. he could not come up with an argument against my suggestion and I could see him feel happier about his car. So for those of you with a stalled project or know someone who never goes to the garage because they feel so bad about ignoring their cars, suggest they commit 20 min a week to getting their project moving. As I close in on the last few things from my "to do" list for my car I hope other can feel good about their cars and what they have accomplished by themselves or with others to bring these beautiful cars back from dead or injured status. I nee to complete reinstalling my seats, and door opening flashing, heater bits and my grille 43 years after I towed it home.

FWIW, Michael Salter and I were trying to determine when the the Aluminum bonnets on early BN1s first received the side to side cross brace for strength and stiffening. Initially we knew that body no. 724 did not have this brace, and no. 1267 did have one... See photos. We now know that body nos. 877 and 1000 did have the cross brace, so we've narrowed it down quite a bit. 877 - 724 = 153 body numbers. Of course we realize that 100s were not always built in strict body number order, so there may be some overlap either way.

Drill a center hole through the sheet metal that the screw will fit through. Put the draw stud through the die and through the sheet metal. Thread on the punch. Put a wrench on the punch to keep it from rotating and tighten the draw stud. Greenlee is a major manufacturer.

It turned out to be the rear screw that held the padded armrest pad on the top edge of the door was too long and was pecking at the glass each time I closed it. Mine was up at the time and I was showered with little chunks of glass (tempered glass). When I replaced the window glass, I looked down it to the door and could see the screw was way too long and almost touched the window glass and that is what happened when I closed the door. I guess I closed it a little too hard that last time and set the window off. I found a shorter screw and it never happened again. It was one of those pointed self starting screws (wood screw). I'm the original owner and know the screw was from the factory installation.

These become stress risers on the tempered glass. The scratches typically are vertical ones caused by the two (non-original) attachment screws for the interior door-pull handle being too long and contacting the glass when it is rolled up and down. The original door-pull sheet metal screws can pull out of the inner door sheet metal over time or instantly when pulled too hard when closing or slamming the door, causing an enlargement of the holes. It then becomes a problem finding new sheet-metal screws that are large enough in diameter to screw securely into the holes, while also short enough not to contact the glass. Both of my door glasses had such scratches when I bought the car, and the driver's door shattered suddenly. Not recognizing the real problem, I replaced the glass without replacing the screws, and the same scratches and same shattering occurred again later. My permanent fix was to weld some square machine-screw nuts into the screw holes (this required filing the holes into squares to fit the nuts, making sure the holes stayed centered). I cut down the length of the matching screws to ensure they wouldn't touch the glass. The machine screws and nuts have a stronger tensile capability than the sheet metal screws and inner door panel and after 10 years no problem with scratches or the door-pull handle pulling out. I bought new door glasses from Moss Motors and they work fine, but the sealing rubber also supplied by Moss didn't work at all. This was 10 years ago, so they may have fixed that problem since then. I had a local glass shop install the glass into the frames, with new nylon guides.

Given my experience, however, I'm not convinced the nominal torque value is sufficient to keep the washer from spinning. The aftermarket washers appear to be stamped--maybe OEM ones are too--and the tab on the last ones I bought weren't perfectly formed and looked insufficient to prevent turning on their own.

A hundred or so miles out of town the car developed a loud, grinding, 'squeal' at the right front. Assuming wheel bearing damage, I got the right front wheel up on a jack and did the usual testing. All seemed normal, so I got back on the road and the noise, of course, resumed. A few hundred miles down the road the noise stopped. We continued the trip--probably did 2-3K miles--and when I got home I tore into the hub. Sure enough, that washer with the inner tab had spun and turned about 90deg in the direction of forward travel, then stopped (the noise was likely from the washer grinding against the inside of the hub). So, yes, the tabs on these washers can shear and the washer can rotate. I don't recall bearing damage, but I likely replaced both wheel bearings and associated parts on the car whilst I was in there. If your other bearings were in good nick I think we know what caused the problem (it's possible your bad bearing ran dry as well). I don't know if this was an original part, or it had been replaced by a previous owner, but I blame the 'usual suspect:' sub-par aftermarket parts manufacture. Also, I think the torque specification for the big castellated nut that holds everything together--IIRC, it's 70lb-ft--is a bit specious, as you have to line up a slot on the castellated nut with the hole in the axle threads for the cotter (and you'll have no idea what the actual, final torque is after you turn the nut to line up with the hold). Since my experience, I always torque the snot out of that nut; i.e. I torque the nut to nominal or, nearly as tight as I can, then put a big breaker bar on it and continue torquing until at least the next slot (or the next, or the next ...). That is a big nut and 'bolt,' it would take a gorilla to snap it off or cross-thread.

Bob On 1/28/2018 7:30 AM, simon.lachlan at homecall.co.uk Hi, Some wisdom from the gurus please. We're looking at a MKII BT7 here. Disc brakes and wire wheels. Now, I've "done" bearings before and maybe did this one wrong last time.. So, I took it all apart. No worries. The outer bearing was completely shot. Surprisingly so as there had been very little movement indeed when moving the wheel once off the ground. And no "crunchiness" to the rotation. Certainly no noise or panic inducing anything. I cleaned everything off in white spirit and, once all was pristine and dry, I gave everything a quick look. See item 4, "washer". The tab on mine had broken off in the groove on the hub. Now, I see that this washer is perhaps better called the "locating washer" when one is looking at the picture for the disc wheel setup. But I don't really see what the tab is good for..surely the washer can't rotate once everything is tightened up, shims in situ etcetc? Can the washer have been rotating? Surely not? And could the tab's fracture have anything to do with the condition of my outer bearing? (The inner bearing seems fine). And, yes, I will get a new washer and I'm replacing both bearings.

This is important when talking torque as you do not want to be putting pre-load onto the rotating components of the bearing. I owned a GMH sedan with the same bearings as the Healey BUT GMH do not use this BMC spacer. The purpose of the spacer is to provide bearing clearance but prevent the inner cups, ?and washers, from rotating. If the bearings are very dry, high friction the risk is they rotate and if they rotate long and fast enougn they weld themselves to the axle. I have seen this with my own eyes and the damage caused when the repair mechanic removed the bearing with an oxy torch!!!!. Check your axles for scours indicating that the bearing cups are rotating on the axle. The bearings need to be a slide on fit for maintenance and ease of replacement. If this fit is an excessively loose fit the bearings without the spacer and appropiate shims torque correctly will rotate. ------ Original Message ------ From: "BJ8Healeys" To: "'Bob Spidell'" ; healeys at autox.team.net Sent: Monday, 29 Jan, 2018 At 6:54 AM Subject: Re: [Healeys] Front wheel bearing query The torque specification for the stub axle nut is 40 - 70 lb-ft.

Generator, Inc. on Foothill in Fontana.? Had my generator and starter rebuilt for my BN2 there for one quarter what Star charges.? No financial interest, just a very satisfied customer.? Theyare honest too.? Took a Bugeye generator there.? They took a look and said it was OK and did not need a rebuild.? Could have just lied and I would not have known the difference.Mike MacLean STARTERS AND ALTERNATORS | | | | | | | | | | | STARTERS AND ALTERNATORS BUY DIRECT from the builder.
