They come with the 165 tires that have nice tread but are over 5 yrs old. The reason I took them off-I have triple the horsepower and went with a 72 spoke wheel. Located in eastern Iowa. The wheels are in great shape and the chrome is good. I found one tiny area that is 1/4? where the chrome has peeled. Please call me at 5632605067 if interested.

Many of them are distorted due to over tightening of the two hold down nuts. I attach a cork gasket to the valve cover only. To do that I use a Thin bead of silicone gasket adhesive on both the cover & the gasket face. Then set the combination of cover & gasket on a very flat surface to dry. The goal is to make sure the gasket is in contact with the flat surface & correctly aligned with the cover. I have never had a leak when this procedure is used. I never use any adhesive between the gasket & the head.

Are the brake shoes properly adjusted? You're not loosing pedal because the system has to move the shoes to the drums first? How did you bleed the master cylinder? I've used an ezibleed on my tri-carb for years without an issue; until recently. Couldn't get a good pedal after changing the master cylinder. Although I had bench bleed it, I had to bleed the brakes the "old way" by pumping the brake pedal to get all the air out. Are you using conventional or silicone fluid? Are the master cylinder seals compatible with the fluid? Roger Moment wrote an article in the Healey magazine several years ago about the seals swelling enough to keep the cylinder from working correctly. The larger front wheel cylinders will change the brake balance. Less force on the fronts.

Are the brake shoes properly adjusted? You're not loosing pedal because the system has to move the shoes to the drums first? How did you bleed the master cylinder? I've used an ezibleed on my tri-carb for years without an issue; until recently. Couldn't get a good pedal after changing the master cylinder. Although I had bench bleed it, I had to bleed the brakes the "old way" by pumping the brake pedal to get all the air out. Are you using conventional or silicone fluid? Are the master cylinder seals compatible with the fluid? Roger Moment wrote an article in the Healey magazine several years ago about the seals swelling enough to keep the cylinder from working correctly. The larger front wheel cylinders will change the brake balance. Less force on the fronts.

Cork doesn't flex and there aren't enough fasteners to keep the cork compressed at all times. The silicone is flexible and allows the r/c to move around while still maintaining a positive seal. http://www.gasketinnovations.com/product-page/austin-healey-100-6-3000-silicone-valve-cover-gasket-for-stock-valve-covers Andy.

I?m surprised that no-one has mentioned the old British mechanic trick ? glue the gasket to the rocker cover and then coat the bottom of the gasket with any suitable all purpose grease ? no sealant. (I use wheel bearing grease). As long as the mating surface on the head is not damaged, it will do the trick. I re-grease the gasket every time the rocker cover is off for maintenance.

I saw the car, a Golden Beige BJ8, go for $143,000. With a 10% premium tacked on to that, a bit over $157,000! In the opinion of this group, was that just a case of bidders getting in to a pissing contest, or, was the car worth it? (And of course we don't know what condition the engines was in, was it a frame off, etc.) So for the sake of conversation, let's say it had really good bones, no rust and ran like a top. And was an original Golden Beige with red leather car. ???Personally, I was glad to see it go for such a large price. Was it worth it? In my opinion, yes, especially if the person buying it knows and loves A-H's. If I had the money, would I pay that much? No. If I had that kind of money, I'd buy a project and do most of the work myself.

I have 5 185 / 70 x 15 Vredesteins on 72 spoke 5? wheels (457F): I made another front block ? narrower ? the one that the tire hold down rod screws to - got it as narrow as possible, and still allowed it to work. I recall gaining about 3/4? ? 1? ie; moved the wheel forward by that much, which allowed the trunk lid to close completely without contacting the tire. It was a bit fiddly, but it worked like a damn. Nice to be able to get a flat wheel / tire assembly back in the trunk to get home! Here?s something interesting: my BT7 tri-carb has 5 of the same wheel / tire combo ? those wheels go right into the trunk without any modification whatsoever! I guess these cars vary a bit in that area. Note also that I?ve raised the fuel tanks on both cars on thin hard rubber strips Hope this helps. A photo is easy if you need it.

The description is very vague so that the auctioneer avoids legal trouble, just in case. It claims to have been restored, with no expenses spared, to Austin-Healey standards, not to Concours standards as it is nowhere near current Concours standards. I doubt very much that the car was purchased by someone that knew Austin-Healey s very well, not to say that these individuals do not go to B-J to purchase an A-H. This car, from the photos shown, was build to excite the buyer that had rented himself an arm candy for the weekend and to show her he had the means to afford her and the car, for the weekend. As far as I am concerned if one wants to bid on cars with provenance and a history, Barrett-Jackson is not the place for that. Bonhams, RM/Sotheby?s and the likes are a far better option. Barrett-Jackson will sell you golf carts to Hummers and everything in between that has the word restomods in it. The seller got an unbelievable price for this BJ8, no doubt about that. On the surface the car presented very well but with pop rivets holding the shroud at the trunk opening, where else did the seller cut corners? Ooops!

When one adds up all the time it takes to restore an Austin-Healey or pretty well any cars for that matter, the price he paid is not too far from what he would have paid for a restoration where he would have dropped off his own car to be done. Buying at an auction also cuts the waiting time for the car to be completed.

At 52 I'm at the younger end of the spectrum, I don't see many people younger than me all that interested in the cars. So my view is most of the prices have topped out or flattened, with prices still supported by new buyers from former communist countries who now have money to buy.

References: <014201d3d4f3$0ed6b590$2c8420b0$@net> We've all had problems with getting list emails over the years and this is what I've done that seems to work. 1. Use a Gmail account. As Mark has explained, some of the email providers do not accept bulk emails, such as the list puts out. Gmail works 2, Once you use GMail, List messages may be treated as spam and may be sent to your spam filter. 3. To avoid this, go to your Settings. First, click on the icon that looks like a gear in the upper right corner of your email. 4. This will give you a drop-down menu which includes "Settings". Click on that. 5. Once you reach the Settings page there is a "Filters and Blocked Addresses" heading at the top of the page in blue. Click on that. 6. You will see an option in blue that says "Create a new filter" Click on that 7 In the block that says "From" enter healeys at autox.team.net 8. Click the box that says "Never Send to Spam" 9. Click the blue button that says "Create Filter" Hope this fixes your problem, Rick Neville On Thu, Apr 19, 2018 at 8:02 AM Neil Anderson wrote: > Mike, > > Some things have been posted recently.

Hi Listeners: I recently changed my email address from a private ISP to Gmail and are receiving from Outlook. For many weeks I could not receive emails from autox.team.net and then I began receiving emails sent directly to spam. I requested Outlook and Gmail not block auto.team.net, when that did not work, I began to constantly request do not block the domain and do not block the sender. Now I get maybe 50 Percent in the Healeys folder. They seem to be blocked because of the Potentially unsafe attachments: Untitled attachement xxxxx.txt which comes with every mail as I am see the problem. Do any of you have any ideas. Oh yes, I do not receive a copy of my own email so I have to go to the achives to see if you are getting my messages because during the changeover to gmail they were not being shown in the archives folder.

As I get closer to #724 emerging as a functioning car, I am thinking about seat belts. Shoulder restraint would give me a better chance of survival and health in the event of a crash, even with that long solid 'lance' aimed at my chest. I know the basic procedure on a four seater like our former BJ7 but it had a mounting already built in for the shoulder strap. I remember instructions for locating the shoulder strap anchor on earlier six cylinder cars, but I don't recall anything about the two seaters or the four cylinder cars in general. So, has anyone installed 3-point seat belts in a Healey Hundred? Is it possible or just impossible?

We've all had problems with getting list emails over the years and this is what I've done that seems to work. 1. Use a Gmail account. As Mark has explained, some of the email providers do not accept bulk emails, such as the list puts out. Gmail works 2, Once you use GMail, List messages may be treated as spam and may be sent to your spam filter. 3. To avoid this, go to your Settings. First, click on the icon that looks like a gear in the upper right corner of your email. 4. This will give you a drop-down menu which includes "Settings". Click on that. 5. Once you reach the Settings page there is a "Filters and Blocked Addresses" heading at the top of the page in blue. Click on that. 6. You will see an option in blue that says "Create a new filter" Click on that 7 In the block that says "From" enter healeys at autox.team.net 8. Click the box that says "Never Send to Spam" 9. Click the blue button that says "Create Filter" Hope this fixes your problem, Rick Neville Mike, Some things have been posted recently. When I don't see posts from the list for a few days, I find them in my spam folder. That's gmail for you.

As I get closer to #724 emerging as a functioning car, I am thinking about seat belts. Shoulder restraint would give me a better chance of survival and health in the event of a crash, even with that long solid 'lance' aimed at my chest. I know the basic procedure on a four seater like our former BJ7 but it had a mounting already built in for the shoulder strap. I remember instructions for locating the shoulder strap anchor on earlier six cylinder cars, but I don't recall anything about the two seaters or the four cylinder cars in general. So, has anyone installed 3-point seat belts in a Healey Hundred? Is it possible or just impossible?

Since I've stopped doing car show and driving them, I have switched to Odyssey batteries. I have switched my BN1 and BN7 cars to single 12 v. These batteries have a shelf life (at optimum temperature) of 4 years. The cranking power is amazing and I've stored cars for 4- 5 months without any chargers or maintainers. The cars start without any problems. Secondly, there is no battery terminal corrosion, out-gassing or other damaging issues. I have purchased the last 5 batteries from Amazon, using the Odyssey website for guidance as to size, CCA, etc. You have to look carefully, as some batteries come with terminals and others give you the options for attaching cables (as for racing, etc).

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." Agree on the maintainers.? BM makes one for AGM only--and, of course, it's more expensive--but have heard the wet cell ones work (just don't charge quite as high).

The voltage has increased from basically nothing to about 11 volts over the last couple hours. Used the companion battery method of hooking another functioning battery in parallel to the dead AGM battery, then adding the charger. So far so good. I have another hour and will check again. When the car got here via Reliable Carriers I wanted to start the engine and hear it run again. I had it on the charger while the battery was still in the car for a couple hours that turned into several days, low amps, and the AGM would not take a charge. Well it did charge to about 4 volts. Made no sense to me. Hour is up and the battery now shows just under 12 volts. Looks like it needs another hour or so to top it off.

Two Interstate batteries lasted 2 years (each) in my Mustang although I was making a freeway commute of almost 80 miles round trip 5 days a week.?? They were checked and serviced regularly.? They both failed completely with no warning (hard starts, etc.).? Two Motorcraft batteries--hecho en Mexico--also lasted about 2 years (I suspect they were re-branded Interstates).? We've had 2 pairs of 6V Interstates fail in a couple years in our BN2.?? The Deka in my Mustang--made in the USA--has about 3 years of intermittent city/freeway driving and is going strong.

Whether they are installed correctly or not, they are very dangerous. Retractable seatbelts in the back seat of a modern Volvo killed my mother because she didn't know she has to wear them correctly. The doctor admitted to me that retractable seatbelts kill alot of people. Basically the auto industry lobbied for retractable shoulder seat belts because they are more comfortable for passengers, but they are significantly less safe than fixed belts. Honestly, it's safer just to have an old school lap belt. Generally speaking non retractable fixed seatbelts are MUCH safer, and the safest is when the shoulder belt is even fixed at the buckle rather than floating at the buckle. On the 100, you can install a hardpoint toward the back of the wheel well, and fix the shoulder harness there. That will be quite safe.

AGM style battery sat for 4 years in my old yellow 100 in a California warehouse. I had sold the car many years ago to a fellow in CA. I repurchased the car. When it arrived back in Pennsylvania the battery was completely flat. Using the conventional 10 amp charger would barely get the battery up to 4 volts. Using the method described below it is now back up to 12.5 volts. Barrowed info from the internet?.. ?This is a recovery method for the do-it-yourselfer using the equipment you've got in the garage. With this option, you're going to trick your traditional charger into charging the deeply discharged AGM battery. Here's what you need: ? Battery charger (under 15 amps) ? Jumper cables ? A good battery, preferably above 12.2 volts. (It can be an AGM or flooded battery- it doesn't matter.) ? The seemingly dead, deeply discharged AGM battery ? A voltage meter ? A watch or timer Now, here's what you do: Hook up the good battery and deeply discharged AGM battery in parallel ? positive to positive and negative to negative. Do not have the charger connected to the battery or turned on at this stage. Now, hook up the good battery to the charger. Turn on the charger. The charger will "see" the voltage of the good battery (hooked up in parallel), and start providing a charge. After the batteries have been hooked up for about an hour, check to see if the AGM battery is slightly warm or hot to the touch. Batteries naturally become warm during charging, but excessive heat may be an indication that there really is something wrong with the battery. Discontinue charging immediately if the battery is hot to the touch. Also discontinue the process if you hear the battery "gassing" ? a hissing sound coming from the safety valves. If it's hot or gassing, STOP CHARGING IMMEDIATELY! With your voltage meter, check back often to see if the AGM battery has charged to 10.5 volts or above. This generally takes less than two hours with a 10-amp charger. If it has, disconnect the charger from the wall outlet and remove the good battery from the charger. Now, connect only the deeply discharged AGM battery to the charger. Turn on the charger and continue until the AGM battery reaches a full charge, or until the automatic charger completes the charge process. In most cases, the AGM battery will be recovered.? Hope this helps someone with an expensive AGM battery that doesn?t want to charge?. Perry -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I doubt that the problem was the black/white wire at the battery switch. The sole purpose of that wire is to ground the ignition when the switch is turned off thereby keeping the engine from possibly running on the generator. (thanks to our old friend Norman Nock for teaching me this bit of wisdom). The other end of the wire goes to the ignition coil. If the wire is disconnected and taped off, the engine still cranks and runs as normal. If the wire breaks and disconnects in the trunk, it would have to short to ground continuously for the engine to stop, but everything else would still ?light up?, including the starter solenoid. If you still feel like messing with it, you could easily prove all this out to yourself. In fact, a lot of people I know have intentionally disconnected this wire in order to avoid the possibility of the engine suddenly quitting from it shorting to ground anywhere from the switch to the coil inside the harness under the car. (I don?t recommend doing this). Your problem was almost certainly a bit of corrosion on one or both of the battery posts. I?ve had this happen to me ? everything goes completely dark ? nothing works. everything looks clean, but servicing the posts and terminals gets it all happy again. Makes a good argument for regular battery maintenance. Hope this gets people thinking. Cheers, Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

Two Interstate batteries lasted 2 years (each) in my Mustang although I was making a freeway commute of almost 80 miles round trip 5 days a week. They were checked and serviced regularly. They both failed completely with no warning (hard starts, etc.). Two Motorcraft batteries--hecho en Mexico--also lasted about 2 years (I suspect they were re-branded Interstates). We've had 2 pairs of 6V Interstates fail in a couple years in our BN2. The Deka in my Mustang--made in the USA--has about 3 years of intermittent city/freeway driving and is going strong.

You wrote that the car wouldn't turn over, fuel pump wouldn't tick, etc. without a jump from the battery to the solenoid.?? The white/black wire does one thing, and one thing only (assuming it's wired per the factory diagram): it grounds the primary circuit to the coil, so that the engine will not receive any spark at the plugs.? If this circuit is permanently shorted to chassis ground, the engine will--well, it should--turn over, fuel pump should tick, etc., but it will not fire (assuming the other function of the switch works).?? The cutoff switch does two things when in the 'ON' position: it closes the circuit from the battery to the chassis--hence making all things electrical (that are wired through the switch)--work, and it opens the circuit that grounds the coil so the coil can generate spark. This sounds to me like the switch wasn't closing the circuit from battery to ground, which WOULD explain the symptoms you described.? I'm guessing--although I can't think of exactly how--your messing with the switch somehow--and probably, temporarily--'solved' the problem. From now on, when anyone asks what's wrong with their car--leaks oil, pulls left on braking, won't go into reverse, etc.--I'm just gonna answer "It's the white/black wire to the cutoff switch!"? ;) Bob On 4/23/2018 2:08 PM, Fred Wescoe wrote: > Okay guys, lots of informed thoughts on my no start problem. > > I went to the battery cut off switch in the trunk and found that the > white/black wire was actually broken at the very end of the > insulation.?

It?s made from aluminium and therefore quite light in colour. I use Penrite Classic Medium oil which is a mineral oil, but it is next to impossible to read the dipstick even in the sunlight. Our everyday Mercedes-Benz also has no dipstick and every time I need to make sure there is enough oil in the engine I have to refer to the owner?s manual to make sure I press all the right buttons. Changing the oil is not fun especially working out how to reset the next service indicator.

I had planned on sending out a short 'Happy Birthday Team Net' back on April 11th, the 27th anniversary of the domain going on the air.? But things happen, and a while after we had some nice late winter snowstorms hit the Salt Lake area.? That's where I live, that's where the server sits. The storms caused some power outages over the course of a day or two, some short, some longer than the UPS could keep the server running.? Not good, graceful recovery did NOT happen.? Anyway, it took some time for things to get sorted, for the mail queue to untangle itself and send out messages with only a few hours delay, not 30 - 35 - 40 hours. So we are almost back to normal.? One of the items I was going to mention in the planned birthday message is that the searchable archives at http://www.team.net/archive have been broken for some time. Well, they still work for the content already in them, but they are not adding new content on a real time basis as they should. A goal for the near future is to figure out what broke them, fix it and get them updated.? For the meantime, though, I updated the link at the bottom of messages to reflect the less user friendly default Mailman archives.

About the only mechanical thing that can hold the OD engaged is the cone clutch sticking to the brake ring. That is the problem cleared by striking the brake ring with a hammer. I'm not sure what all of the causes for the defect might be, but improper oil or heavily worn clutch and brake ring surfaces or weak return springs are a few. On reflection I suppose a sticking actuator valve might cause the problem although it would seem the pressure would bleed off when the car was not running.

The only time my O/D has ever failed to disengage, it was because of the oil I used. It was Accel brand (Walmart) 30W non-detergent. This problem was solved by merely by draining and refilling with a better oil.

He suggests buying one with a 500mh minimum battery and up to 1000mh. They get more expensive as you add inverter, compressor etc. In 2 weeks, I am going to start my Summer Car (Chrysler 200 Convert) in Michigan with my friends jump charger.

OK, price, but then you look at: warranty--usually given in months (72, 84, etc.), and cold cranking amps (CCA).? We all know the warranty doesn't guarantee how long the battery will last, but how much of a pro-rated 'refund'--usually a credit towards purchase of another battery of the same brand--you'll get if the battery expires before the warranty period ends.? CCA gives a rough/reasonable approximation of how much current--i.e. 'power'--the battery has to supply in the burst necessary to wake a starter and turn an engine over in freezing weather (more should be available in warmer temps).? Depending on application, you're gonna want at least 500 CCA for any car battery, esp. an older car without a geared reduction starter, and more is better (a typical, non-geared starter in good nick pulls, I think, about 200-300 amps for a split second--until the inductive load builds--and you want a margin).? The AGM battery I bought recently for my BJ8 has, IIRC, 800 CCA. These 'pocket' jump-starters typically give their 'power' in milliamp-hours, or mAh.? This is a number usually given for a power source that is expected to maintain a minimal current over a period of time; i.e. hours.? Further--I'm not an EE or battery expert, don't play on TV and haven't stayed in a Holiday Inn for years, so FWIW--to my knowledge Li-Ion batteries are known for just that; supplying a steady current over time (like in your cellphone or Tesla).?? I'd be interested in how many CCA these jump-starters promise; I don't really care if it'll power my iPhone for 100hours. The problem, I'm surmising--if you're a battery expert please chime in--is that if you're attempting to jump-start a car with a totally dead battery the dead battery will sink a bunch of the current from the starter battery, hence that current won't be available to rotate the starter armature.? Which reinforces my experience that, if you're attempting to jump-start a marginal battery these might get you over the top, but if you've got a completely discharged battery--and it's cold--well, good luck (which begs the question: Should you disconnect your dead battery and attempt to jump directly to the disconnected cables?). Also, if you've bought jumper cables you've found that the good ones--with, for instance 'double-ought' (00) gauge wires--cost significantly more than the cheapies, which might be #2 gauge. With cheap jumper cables, you're going to put as much energy into heating the cables--and probably get a drop of a volt or two--as you are into the starter.? The pocket jump-starters I've seen all have really wimpy cables, which can cause a significant voltage drop.

No wonder that these batteries do not last for any length of time. Take the battery out during car storage, store it in a frost free place and charge it now and again or use a trickle charger. It will save many a battery. That way it will last around 10 years.

Even though the battery is not in my Healey, it is in the Florida garage attached to a battery tender, as will the battery in the Truck will be, when we fly north on the 15th. The up north car, today is the Chrysler Convert usually would be in the garage in the Townhouse with a battery tender attached all winter. However, we sold the Townhouse so the car went into a rented storage shed without electricity, so was faced with a problem starting the vehicle. That is why I am interested in the Portable Jump Starter. Also, next winter I will disconnect the battery cables from the fittings on the firewall so the new battery I am going to buy will not be discharged from the power hogs in the vehicle. It is an older Chrysler without computer, screen etc., so the draw is not so bad and the Tender did its job while it was in the garage. Actually, the battery tender will not keep a battery fully charged over a long period of time even when disconnected to the vehicle. Eventually, the charge will deteriorate as the charging side of the system is not sufficient to do a full charge. Hay it works and is better that the float maintainers that we knew years ago which would burn up the battery. The only charger maintainer I know which could do everything to maintain a battery is a 4 stage charger that I have on my sailboat batteries. They last 5-10 years!

Mine is to replace your SU with an SU. SU's are very reliable (either correctly restored or a new one), they fit without having to modify the mounting bracketry and the fuel line fittings (that can be a big deal). You can carry a spare SU in the boot if you are worried about a road side failure. The spare will fit without modification. Or you can plumb in a second SU in parallel with the original so that if the original fails all you need to do is switch to the spare. New SU's are available with improved electronics that will result in low maintenance, trouble free operation for a long time. If your SU is still operating that means it is nearly 50 years old. Not bad!
