My first order with Macgregor rubber parts isn't going very well.  I was
expecting my order a week and a half ago so decided to call for a tracking
number yesterday.   My order hadn't even been shipped yet.

For those who have dealt with  M R before are they always so slow and is their
PR on letting customers know whats going on so poor?

Maybe they're going through some growing pains here or something.  I assume
these folks are dependable and trust worthy.

My concern is that they have my money and my parts.  I almost just cancelled
my order when they said it hadn't been sent yet.  I suppose I'll just hang
tight and see if the quality is worth waiting for as the list has  pointed out
in the past.

This has been a different experience than working with Moss who usually lets
me know parts availability, ship times, tracking number,
etc. rather than keeping me in suspense for this long.

I believe the Bristleflex door seal is a McGregor product, yes?  I have had
a set backordered at Moss for a couple months, so it appears that Moss is
having problems getting the parts from McGregor, too.

Macgregors is indeed a one man operation. He does it all himself, from the 
development, to the ordering, the receiving, packaging, shipping, 
everything. I've known Matin MacGregor for almost 30 years, consider him a 
personal friend, and would stand behind anything he says.
He can often fall behind in the timliness of his orders, usually because he 
insists on doing it all first hand so it's done right, but rest assured he 
is totally trustworthy.

Mark,

Those nuts are pretty easy to loosen up in their holes as you may know.  I believe I would try to loosen the bolts first with lots of penetrating oil and patience.  If It looks like they will not come then cut off the heads.  This will allow you to get the bumper off and then you can try unscrewing maybe with vice grips.  Next is to try screw extractors.  Do not damage the threads in the nuts!

Jack,

Most likely you will need to dig down removing some lead around the broken off screw until
you can get a needle nose vise grip or something similar to back out the screw. If successful,
you can then get some lead (fishing weights work well), put them in a metal spoon or cup and
apply heat from below with a propane torch. It doesn't take much heat to melt the lead and you can
then pour it into the damaged area. Let it cool and then hammer the new lead carefully to get 
it to flatten out and fill the voids better. Then you can redrill the post for a new screw (tape the
drill so you only go as deep at the other post hole).

Anyway, this worked for me on a stripped out battery post. Wear safety glasses and take your time.

Cheers,
John

Keep the torch away from the battery! (Just one of those reflexes. I can 
imagine myself with a spoonful of molten lead in one hand and a lit propane 
torch in the other absent mindedly setting the torch down pointing at the 
cell vents...) An exploded battery would solve the battery post problem, but 
cause many more.)

Message-ID: <001a01c834d2$244a8860$0a01010a@ozemail>

G'day list - hope someone might be able to help me diagnose this:
occasionally, and with no particular pattern, the Ward Special's BN1 motor
misfires. I can be cruising on a light thottle at, say, 2000 rpm in top, and
without warning the car misfires and loses power. This happened again a couple
of times today on an 80 mile round trip to the AHOC Qld Christmas lunch. All
dash indicators show normal. I've found that if I dip the clutch & rev the
motor, it will  clear, often with a backfire and (I'm told by people
following) a puff of black smoke. I suspect a fuel issue of some sort - I have
a Facet fuel pump which appears to be functioning OK; there are 2 filters in
the line, both of which I've changed; I've checked the float chambers and
they're clean. The carbs have been overhauled in the last few years and I'm
pretty handy at setting them up after 40 years with SU's. THe only minor
indication of anything inconsistent is that no. 2 plug looks a bit darker than
the other 3.


Any ideas?

G'day Peter

I had exactly the same problem over a year ago.

I put it down to fuel problems so had the pump rebuilt, fitted a new inline
filter and even thought the little breather in the filler cap was blocked. I
had the engine tuned professionally and thought it ran beautifully until the
first hill. Pffffttt?

The engine would continue to run but there was no power. I forgot the number
of times I took the carbs to pieces. I suspected a fuel blockage and thought
about removing the tank for cleaning. Did fuel flow tests etc etc. 

I wrote a little piece in "Flat Chat" the AHOC NSW magazine when a fellow
member in the country told me that he had the same problem in his BN1, A90
Atlantic and Austin Princess.

It turned out that the inside diameter of the inline fuel filters was too
narrow restricting the flow of fuel. So I chucked my into the bin replacing
it with a rubber fuel hose. I have not had a problem since.

Try it and see what happens.

G'day list - hope someone might be able to help me diagnose this:
occasionally, and with no particular pattern, the Ward Special's BN1 motor
misfires. I can be cruising on a light thottle at, say, 2000 rpm in top, and
without warning the car misfires and loses power. This happened again a
couple
of times today on an 80 mile round trip to the AHOC Qld Christmas lunch. All
dash indicators show normal. I've found that if I dip the clutch & rev the
motor, it will  clear, often with a backfire and (I'm told by people
following) a puff of black smoke. I suspect a fuel issue of some sort - I
have
a Facet fuel pump which appears to be functioning OK; there are 2 filters in
the line, both of which I've changed; I've checked the float chambers and
they're clean. The carbs have been overhauled in the last few years and I'm
pretty handy at setting them up after 40 years with SU's. THe only minor
indication of anything inconsistent is that no. 2 plug looks a bit darker
than
the other 3.


Any ideas?

Peter -

If your fuel pump is in the same location as the original fuel pump, you may
be experiencing vapor lock.  The fuel pump is located right above the
exhaust on a 100, and when you go for a long trip the heat can build up in
that area.  I fixed my 100 simply by wrapping some header tape around the
exhaust pipe for the section that passes under the fuel pump and battery
tray and I haven't had a problem since.  I'm sure that's what it is.  It's
summer in OZ and it's hot.

Also, be a little wary of the old Facet square body pumps, they get weaker
with age.  If you find your car having trouble heading up hill with a 1/4
tank, it could be the pump is getting old.

FYI the A90 (which I have one) has its mechanical fuel pump mounted right
next to the exhaust manifold, so it will be very prone to vapor lock in hot
climates like OZ.  Best solution on the A90 is to fire the old mechanical
pump from a clay pigeon launcher and get a couple of pot shots with a 12
guage.  It's what us Americans do best, shoot stuff.  Mount up a facet or
bendix pump and you are like new.

Cheers,

Alan

Message-ID: <2FD11BB6-37DB-40FD-9767-C4B3A591C4EF@comcast.net>

Hello all,

An update on my BJ8 starting problems might help someone else. At our  
local Healey tech session yesterday, I/we changed the plugs (3 fouled  
badly) and evaluated the situation with my choke mechanism. I had  
noted that my choke did not seem to do anything, I could barely pull  
it out, etc. Next to the carbs is a linkage consisting of a brass rod  
in a channel, topped by a slotted screw on a small spring and v-shaped  
mount. The screw is 10-32. When the choke is pulled this brass rod  
should slide up and down and move the throttle just slightly,  
enriching the mixture. My linkage mechanisms were solidly "frozen",  
both of them (one for each carb), so the problem was diagnosed.

We pulled the screw off, taking care not to lose the slotted washer  
beneath it, and removed the small spring and v-shaped metal piece.  
Then the brass rod had to be worked loose and finally out of the  
channel, so it could be cleaned up, lubed, and re-inserted. Take care  
not to damage the threads on the top of the brass rod as you try to  
gently pound it down through the channel (like I stupidly did, though  
not severely) with a punch. Once everything was put back together, my  
choke actually functioned! I was elated to start it (we were in a warm  
garage), then pull the choke and hear that engine note change upwards.  
We adjusted idle to about 950 rpm (was about 500 before). She just  
purrs now. Today I test it after sitting cold all night in garage -  
mine is not heated....YET!

Oh, and while that was being done 2 other members were under the dash  
analyzing my heater control knob and why it was "stuck" at max  
position. In short order they fixed the loose cable connection and  
released some tension on a small spring just behind the knob to allow  
it to overcome the "detent" and slide all the way across to the left.  
And the in/out function on the knob worked to control the fan!

Hoping that this will make some sense to some of you, but I know I'm  
not using the correct terminology for the all the parts. Tried to find  
photos of these in the parts books I have, but couldn't seem to match  
them up.

Anyway, I am so grateful to all the list members who offered  
suggestions on my cold starting problems; your advice got me started  
on the right track. And I am grateful to our local chapter and its  
members for their help and support, especially Bob Brown at whose home  
we meet each month and where we can peer into the inner workings of  
his BJ8 which he is restoring, John Schroeder "the Healey doctor",  
Greg, Jim, Bill, Price, and I'm sure I have missed someone. Thanks to  
you all!

Edward,

One minor technicality, re: "When the choke is pulled this brass rod 
should slide up and down and move the throttle just slightly,enriching 
the mixture."

Opening the throttle does not enrich the mixture.  On a properly setup 
choke for HD8 carburettors, about the first half of the choke travel 
does open the throttle--for a faster idle--but the second half, whilst 
continuing to open the throttles also lowers the jet, which does enrich 
the mixture.

Edward (part deux):

Sounds like you have one carburettor running very rich--did you attend 
to that?

If that's the case, this might allow the engine to start--with the more 
open throttle you established--even if the chokes are still not set up 
correctly.  Have someone pull the choke slowly whilst you watch--the 
first part of the choke pull should open the throttle as you describe, 
but the second half should raise a lever near the bottom of the float 
bowl, which pivots to push down the jet diaphragm and thus lower the jet.

Try Craigslist.  You can Google search across all the local ones.
Go to Google.com, and enter this as your search text:

site:craigslist.com honda 1976 CB 125S

No luck today, but keep trying every few days -- one may pop up. And try 
variations (e.g., CB125S, CB 125 S, CB125, etc.). You might get lucky.

If you are desperate, you might try molding one from fiberglass. Get a 
wad of modelers clay and make a mirror image of the right side cover. 
Form a layer of fiberglass over the clay; that will give you a female 
mold. Line the female mold with release agent, and layer fiberglass
in it. When it's set, you'll have something that looks close to what
you need. Then it's a matter of sanding, and filling, and sanding,
and painting. It won't be concourse, but it will cover the hole.

Mark, I bought from McGregor all seals for my BJ8. Yes, it took a while 
before it arrived, but the quality was excellent. Took my car to a Dutch 
Healey specialist to have the value estimated for my insuarnce and the 
guy said he'd not seen such nice seals before - in fact he asked the 
address info. So just sit tight- you'll be surpised!

Hello Scott and other listers, I was able to obtain the correct length zipper a number of years ago from a company in Mass.  It was the Solo Slide Fasteners Inc., 8 Sring Brook Rd., Foxboro ( GO Pats) Mass. 02035.  Tel 1-800--343-9670,  Fax 1-800-547-4775.  The only difference was the zipper pull.  The last catalog that I have from them is from 1997.   John

BJ8 folks,
I'm trying to complete (well sort of) the intstallation of the wiring harness on the BJ8 
in the garage. I can not locate a photo of the routing over the rear axle. I have the cable 
run to the rear under the frame and of course know where it enters the boot, but how is 
it routed from the vertical rear sea panel to the grommet into the boot? 
A photo or "clear" description would certainly help.

Bob:
The harness travels up to the top of the horizontal panel behing the seats.
At that point the fuel pump breaks of and heads to the right of the car to
the fuel pump. The fuel pump harness travels across the top of said panel,
and is heald in place with several snallclips secured with 10 32 screws and
nuts feed thur the panal from the cockpit side. The main harness follows the
curve of the diff tunel with additional  clips attached with sheet metal
type screws. One attachment point that is hard to see is the one on the
inboard side of the bump stop box attached to the chassis. Then to the hole
into the boot. 

Good luck

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Wiring Harness ?

BJ8 folks,
I'm trying to complete (well sort of) the intstallation of the wiring
harness on the BJ8 in the garage. I can not locate a photo of the routing
over the rear axle. I have the cable run to the rear under the frame and of
course know where it enters the boot, but how is it routed from the vertical
rear sea panel to the grommet into the boot? 
A photo or "clear" description would certainly help.

TIA
Bob

For chrome, I use EFS near the Bremerton airport.  360-674-3825  Be sure to 
tell them exactly what you want.   There is a shop in Poulsbo, Backwards 
Unlimited, that does beautiful steering wheel restoration, 360-697-1471, but 
he is VERY expensive.  When I found out how much he wanted to do mine 
(somewhere around $1000), I bought a Moss reproduction.  The Moss product is 
actually quite good, but you have to block sand and polish the mold parting 
line on the od and id.

Hello Listers:  I have a couple of brake drums that I don't remember what they
came off of. The part number on both drums is 1B7422. They are wire wheel
drums. Do I have 100-6 front brake drums or are they the rear drums? The Moss
catalogue shows different part numbers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That number shows as a (5 bolt) steel wheel front brake drum  appropriate for 
100-SIX cars.

Richard,
Per Austin-Healey 100-SIX parts book (AKD 855), 1B7422 are front drums for
BN6 (Disc wheels only). 1B4570 are front drums for BN6 (Wire wheels only).

Subject: [Healeys] 175R15 tires
Message-ID: <008001c836b6$15055d40$1f9bfea9@dell>

175R15 tires are 26" outside diameter, the same as the original bias ply tires
on the big Healey when new.  A few years ago I purchased a set of four
Michelin in this size from Coker Tire.  They look just right on the 3000 and
they handle and ride quite well, but alas, they are no longer available.

 Now I need new tires on my BN2.  Browsing the Coker website, I noticed
175/80R15-BFG TOURING TA QR4 B/W $44.00 are now available.  There is no photo
or specs.
Has anyone tried these tires on their Healey?

I was considering some Kumho Power Star 758s 165/80-15 25.4 inch dia.

Only because they seem close in size and are cheap.

Tirerack has some for $35 a tire plus shipping

I installed the Kumo tire a year ago and have driven about 8,000 miles since 
and they are great. I installed them myself and have not even balanced and 
they run great with no shake at all. I used the 165/80R15

Ouch. I've been feeling bad as it becomes harder and harder to find 
165R15s for my Triumph, but 175R15s seem harder still. FWIW my next 
tires will probably be Vredestein Sprint Classic 165R15s, since all my 
favorite Coopers, Dunlops, and Michelins are all discontinued or 
"vintage" priced. The Vredesteins have the classic look and I was really 
happy with the studded snow tires I ran on the Triumph for a few years 
then my '66 Volvo wagon for a couple years more.

Message-ID: <BLU108-W60C06BD75A0FBF658C2E7DD56E0@phx.gbl>

Gary Managed to complete this last night, what I didnt realise till after I
tried a few times (the swivel pin wouldnt move) is that adding the washers
reduces the lift (didnt dawn on me untill I sat down and studied the swivel
pin shaft steps and trunnion). I firstly added more washers like an idiot then
when I realised, I found I only needed a middle thickness and very thin
staybrite washer each side of the oilite to give the 0.002 ' lift measured as
you and I assumed between the bottom of the housing and swivel pin.Only other
thing to note is that the kits supply an o ring which is for the recess on the
top of the bottom bush to seal against the dust cover, its not in place of the
swivel pin cork washer that fits in the recess of the bottom bush to swivel
pin (where you measure the lift). This cork washer is not supplied, I managed
to make one from some 1/4' thick cork sheet and some wad punches. The only
other thing you may need to replace is the half moon cotter pins that lock in
the fulcrum pin bushes to the wishbone arms (you get the bushes but not the
cotter pins in the kit). will post some pictures on my photo abum (link on
John Simms BN6 website) Are you doing a full restoration like me (1966 Bj8)

Message-ID: <049801c83762$13916ec0$0471a8c0@ophrdc.org>

Hello all,

Perhaps someone could help me.

I am installing a freshly rebuilt original Girling servo unit into a '64 BJ8
that has all new toe board areas. Therefore the original holes for the servo
mounting brackets need to be redrilled in their proper location on the right
diagonal toeboard.
Can some good soul carefully measure these mounting positions and give me some
dimensions to go by? There will be 4 mounting bolts, two per bracket.
Thanks very much.

Universal also has this tire in 185/70HR15 ($115) which would  be a better 
choice for the 3000 since it is a more powerful car and can make  good use of a

Ron et al,

The 185/70 has about the same diameter as the 165 tires.  I believe the 165s are 80 aspect.

What do the rest of us do who want a taller tire though?  My BJ8 is long overdue for tires.  Currently running some OLD 185 redlines.

I've been running the Kumho Power Star 758s 165/80-15 tires for three years 
and 17,000 miles and they are the best tire I've ever had on my Healey, 
which include several Dunlop P4 and Dunlop P20 tires.  With the Kumho tires 
and can take my favorite 90 degree corner near my house 10 MPH faster before 
the rear end bakes loose.  They are also wearing well, no vibration (I have 
the fronts balanced on the car) and handle well.  Love them.  The only down 
side might be they don't look vintage.
Vrooom vroom,
John

I run Kumho's on my 930 and have 400-500 track miles as well as 2 years of
daily driving. Very excellent tires.  My BN7 has 15 year old Pirelli's P-3's
(185 x 70 SR15's) which are beyond unsafe at any speed and Kumho's will
replace them. Been thru Michelins, Yokohama's, etc .  Low noise, sticky,
inexpensive and OK wear from what I see.Richard of KY/CA

Hi listers

To quote Richard:

"A lot of people are still recommending the Kumhos which you know I put
on my
BN2 this year and I am very happy".

I've just been phoning around to obtain 165/80 R15 tyres for my 100/6 in
the UK. Three Kumho agents that I tried reported no stock and then
checked with the UK importers who said that this size is now
discontinued. This may just be for the UK market but I suggest that
anyone thinking of Kumhos gets them sooner rather than later!

Also, Toyo and Hankook have now discontinued their tyres in 165/80 15
size, at least in the UK.

One other make besides the Vredesteins that is still available in 165/80
15 in the UK at a reasonable price is Gislaved (Scandinavian) - they fit
one of the 1950s Volvos.

Regards

Paul

Hi Ron,

If you want to simply seal the hole, use a good product called VLP Clear
Liquid Vinyl Repair, which forms a strong flexible bond.   Available from
Amazon, or Google it.

More likely you want an invisible repair, and for that you need to call your
local "Doctor Vinyl" type mobile specialist.  These guys travel around from
dealership to dealership repairing cigarette burns or "comb in the pocket"
type damage. If its that small, you might be able to get away with a surface
repair, where the fellow fills the split with a color-mixed vinyl repair
paste, and while its still curing, presses a negative mold of a grain pattern
into the vinyl.  The grain mold may come out of his personal collection, or
one can be made directly from your vinyl with silicone on the spot.  A dusting
of a specially mixed colour dye applied with a mouth-siphon blends everything
together and makes it disappear.Because a heat gun is required, a different
process is used for leather, which can't take heat.

The better stronger repair involves putting a special backing material behind
the split for strength. This may be fiddled into place through the split but
ideally should be done with the cover off the car- a real PITA for Healey
seats because the pleated center panel is glued to the foam.

There are a number of these guys around, but the skill varies considerably.
Look particularly for those with an eye for colour matching.  So ask dealers
and body shops- some guys have done it for 30 years and have acquired a rep.
Anyone can buy the heat gun and gear and look good, but can't necessarily tell
brownish red from bluish red, or how to get a perfect match without repainting
your entire seat.

I do it, but its definitely a service that can be sourced locally.

Hi Todd,

re: 
"the pins that hold the bottom bolts for the
king pins out"

Heat might do it, but you might need to use The Force as well.  Put
nuts on the end of the thread--but only screw down a thread or 
two, leaving slack below the nut.  Then, you can tap on the nut
without damaging the threads of the pin.  I THINK the new king
pin sets come with these, so if you have to really hammer them
you'll have new ones.  Be careful, you don't want to crack the 
bottom trunnion, they DON'T come with the kit ;)

re:
"Also how about the A-arm bolts??"

These can be a real bear (esp. if they've never been removed). 
The pins and the inside of the rubber/steel bushes are likely
rusted together.   Try to get your favorite penetrating--I like Kroil--in
there if you can.

The screwdriver slot on the pin heads will do you 
no good.   We got them popped out by using a pry bar against the 
threaded end--again, use a loose-fitting nut to protect the threads--and 
the backside of the pry bar against the chassis.  Or, you can use 
a pickle fork--used for popping end links loose--to pop them 
out.  You'll probably bend the flat disk on the head side of the
pin, but they can usually be straightened OK (or buy new ones
on general principal--I think they're about $15 ea.).  

When you put the A-arms back together--or the trunnions, for
that matter--be sure to use anti-seize on the pins.

G'day Todd,
The pin used to locate and secure the lower trunnion shaft on Healeys is
actually a round parallel pin with an angled flat on one side and a reduced
diameter thread on one end. This type of pin was used extensively to attach
the pedal cranks on bicycles up until about 30 years ago!!
Getting them out without damage can be difficult. 
You will usually find that bashing the end of the small thread, with or
without using the nut to protect the thread will destroy the pin. 
Fortunately new pins are supplied with king pin kits so that is not so much
of a problem. 
I usually use a cold chisel to remove the threaded portion flat to the
surface of the hole in the king pin then use a zip gun or if that is not
available a 1/4" dia parallel pinch to loosen the pin. It is frequently very
tight.
Regarding the inner "A" arm bolts I would suggest that you carefully
consider whether this is absolutely necessary before you get into it. Unless
the rubber Metalastic bushes have been oil soaked they are probably as good
today as they were the day they were fitted. 
Removing them can also be VERY difficult. These bushes have a bonded steel
sleeve on the inner diameter and this invariably rusts to the through bolt.
Bashing and banging is usually fairly futile and often only serves to weaken
or crack the frame where the mount is attached. 
Of course the rubber is an excellent insulator so unless you burn it away
entirely so that you can get the inner steel tube red hot to release the
rust you have a problem on your hands. 
I have restored many cars and left the arms in place throughout the entire
process. Works for me although it makes having the lower arms powder coated
out of the question.

If you're feeling particularly crafty, there is a kit available at most parts stores for about 10 bucks that even includes a heating iron and some texture molds so you can do it yourself.

I've used it on leather and it wiorks pretty good.

Todd,
Just did this to a 66 BJ8 about and hour ago. For us it was easy to take the 
outer cups off , spread the lower control arms then remove the whole assy 
and work at the bench on the tapered pin. Yes, by hammering the buggar you 
usually bend the threaded part if it is stubborn. What we then did was 
install the cup with out the zirk fitting and you can tap on the trunnion to 
center its key on the taper pin. What sometimes happens is one side of the 
end caps is over tightened to put a force on the taper pin, and along with 
40-50 years of hardened grease its enough to hold it fast, PB blaster, 
tapping of trunnion and tapping of pin will work it free .

Good luck to ya, as we have the other side to do tomorrow !!! , center pin 
is stuck on that one too.
BTW with the outer  cap pins you only need to tap them alittle bit as they 
are a round  cut in the pin. You  need just a little movement to extract the 
cups ( they will pass thru the cut out) i.e. those pins can stay in for cup 
removal, then take out ,clean and oil well on assy.

These are not bolts, they are half moon cotters and work by locking the 
trunnion pin nuts in place. When you tap on them they will only move a 
fraction of an inch, but they will release their grip on the trunnion nuts 
which can then be unscrewed. Don't try to drive them out with the trunnion 
nuts in place. That way lays frustration, damaged parts and bloody knuckles. 
The cotter holding the trunnion pin in the bottom of the king pin is a 
similar item.

I purchased my Kuhmos from tires-easy.com this summer.   The price was about
$2 more a tire than tirerack.com.   But they were in stock, no one else had
them, and the driving season in Maine is too short to wait.  The website was
a little funky, and talking to customer service was a little funkier, but
the tires arrived 5 days after I order them.

I googled them to learn something about the company before I ordered.   I
think they're a large German company that was just getting in the US market,
so they're certainly in the UK market.

Watch the symbol for the delivery time -- the price seemed to vary depending
on estimated delivery time, and the price was cheapest when the stock level
was highest and estimated delivery time shortest.

If you are rebuilding the front suspension don't waste the time even  
removing the pin, You will be replacing the pin, king pin and  
trunnion when you rebuild the assy any way.

Hi, Charlie -
I never had much luck with several different brands of silicone sealants
because the wheel bearing grease turned the sealant into a very sticky jelly
that was extremely difficult to remove next time.  3M Body Seam Sealant
works well and is not affected by the grease.  Just make sure to clean
thoroughly any surfaces you are going to seal.  I do seal the spoke heads on
the inside of the hub with the same body sealant since any grease that finds
its way onto that surface will also find its way under the spoke heads and
down the spokes.

As a novice with a bj8 I have more or less completed this and this is what I learned:
I removed the wishbone arm bolts by using the small fat bolt compressing against the frame technique, would I do it again, NO, its a waste of time as you will probably replace them anyway, easiest way would be to cut the front head of any knock them out, the rear arm bolt is easier as you can use a long metal bar to knock it out through the holes in the frame after removing the front ones.
Secondly the swivel/king pin will be corroded and scored so get the new one ready, I tried to knock out the fulcrum cotter pin which (as David Knock points out) will probably mushroom. Basically remove the swivel pin nut and you will probably have to heat the top trunnion to get it off the pin then remove from the stub axle. As above the swivel pin needed replacing even though it wasnt really oval, so it was away to the machine shop (Dennis Welsh) for new bushes and reaming. See my post from a couple of days for reassmbly under "king pin and thrust washer clearance".
Dont do it the hard way trying to save bits that you will replace anyway, been there done that. New bearings in the hub just got to shim them up.Just my experience!!!

Well, I have one of these from them, installed it, and tested it, does

Hello, there are additional 165-80x15 modern radial
choices.  FYIW, they are both made in Korea.

"Signet".  I bought a set for my MGA last year. More
of a dry weather tire (which I like) so not noisy and
stick very well at highway speed.  Nice, simple
sidewall design.  Almost look like 80's era AVON
sidewalls.  I bought through a Big O tire store.  I
have a .pdf spec sheet if anyone's interested.

"Nankang".  Not an appropriate sounding name (IMHO)
BUT they have almost a vintage Michelin looking tread
pattern.  VW people buy them.

Have always used a light smear of Lubriplate or wheel bearing grease on the

Am wondering if some folks are using gobs of grease where a smear will do.
Also wondering if lotsa grease is necessary to keep salt out in inclement

Steve,


AFAIK, the purpose of the grease is only to keep the inner and outer 
hubs from rusting together.  It's not there for "lubrication;" if there 
is any motion between the splines one or both of the hubs have to be 
replaced.

Since the grease is only there to prevent rusting, I think any good, 
persistent grease will work.  Anti-seize seems particularly 
persistent--I've got the stains on my jeans to prove it ;).   Have heard 
that anti-seize contains highly-ground glass--that's what leaves the 
silvery coating.

I use a clear RTV (Permatex) on the spoke heads and have never had any 
problems with it.  Without it, I always got a little smear of grease 
where the spokes exit the wheel hub.

Actually, the grease is to prevent fretting between the highly-loaded metal
surfaces.  Fretting occurs when there is slight movement between highly
loaded surfaces and metal transfer  and wear can take place.  Fretting can
cause metal fatigue as well.  There is always going to be some slight
relative movement between the hubs and wheels, no matter how tight the
knockoffs are.  Having just replaced a tire and cleaned and regreased the
splines this morning, I had a good look at the hub cone surface behind the
wheel.  Even though I have always used plenty of grease, there is still
evidence of fretting going on on that surface (pitting).  Fortunately,
nothing obvious yet on the wheel or hub splines, but the splines really only
carry the acceleration and braking loads.

I have always had a problem with grease working its way out past the spoke
heads onto the spokes, both with the original painted wheels and the Dayton
chrome wires I installed in 1990.  Even when I am very meticulous in
cleaning the surfaces and sealing them, the grease will still come out
eventually.  Of course, it's dependent on how much the car is driven between
cleanings.  Even though I am liberal with the grease, I do wipe off the
excess.  I use wheelbearing grease for spline lubrication because I buy it
in a tub and it's convenient.

I have a starter from British Starters, and it has been in the car for 3
years.  What a difference from that to an original.  It does not drain the
battery, as it takes much less current to run and starts the engine up
quickly.  British Starters is a one man company that has little overhead,
and that is why he sells them for that amount.

 

My BMW mechanic uses a BMW product that you can get at the dealer that seals
the cloth top and works very well.  He has two 1989 325 Convertibles that do
not have top leaks.  Go to the parts department and ask for top sealant

 

Sorry for the delay in replying, as I get the "digest" edition from
auto.team.net.

Subject: [Healeys] Wing to shroud anti corrosion treatment
Message-ID: <8CA07FE52594C6B-A0C-7460@webmail-de10.sysops.aol.com>

When assembling the rear shroud and rear wings onto the chassis, should there be an anti corrosion strip (as sold by AH Spares for example) between both the wing and the shroud, and between the shroud and the inner fender/quarter panel?? Both contact areas are aluminium on steel, I think.? Seems logical then that both contact areas?should be isolated.? Which - could make assembly tricky because the isolation strips are a tar like material that will not allow much wiggle room for panel?adjustment once applied.?? 
I have also read here and there recently that a good heavy coat of paint might be sufficient to isolate from galvanic corrosion.? Maybe that depends - on how many years we are talking about.? 10 or 50 ......

Thanks for any thoughts.

Dave

Subject: [Healeys] Coming Fuel Efficency Standards
Message-ID: <240900.47567.qm@web30311.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Economist a British magazine, recently had an article the heightened fuel efficiency focus in the U.S.A.  [see http://www.economist.com/daily/news/PrinterFriendly.cfm?story_id=10249454 ]  
  An energy bill is set to pass through the House of Representatives this week. In part, the article reads: The new corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards have been a long time coming. The 35mpg target for average fuel efficiency across the range of a car companys vehicles in 2020 would be the first lifting of CAFE standards for cars since 1985. The current standard for corporate average fuel economy of 27.5mpg for cars was introduced that year. The standard for light trucks has been slowly lifted over the years and now stands at 22.2mpg. Since 1985 the fuel economy of cars and trucks has barely shifted.
  The day may be coming when there will be enormous pressure on the old car enthusiast / industry to curtail usage and/or pay a sizable amount for the privilege of enjoying ones hobby.  A CAFE of 35 mpg(US) is about 42 mpg(Imp) or 14.9 Km/Litre. By way of comparison, my 2001 Honda Civic averages 15.8 k/l and my 1962 Austin Healey averages 22 mpg(Imp) or 7.8 k/l .

A decent coating of rust preventative paint and then a strip of Scotch Super
77 electrical tape should do the trick.  That will let you move the panel
around but give you a very good islolation.  Don't foget you will still have
contact through the fender bolts anyway, so the best you can hope for is to
just reduce the contact as much as possible, but you will never isolate the
fender, which would actually be dangerous from a static perspective if ever
acheived.

Jack -

I've noticed that State Farm varies from state to state, region to region
and even agent to agent.  My agent is first class never any problems in 20
years always paid out all claims no problems.  The other State Farm agent in
town his rates were twice as much and he was an ass.

Jack,
You want to risk 2 colors not matching instead of 1?

Jack,

While I have NO love for State Farm - or ANY insurance company - I'm not so
sure I have a problem with their decision, so long as there was ABSOLUTELY
ZERO damage to the lower colored area.

The purpose of insurance is to make one whole, not to provide something for
nothing. Having to mask  off, and match a second color of old paint IS an
added expense. However, if you had a single-colored car, and they said
they'd only paint down to the swage line, then, I'd absolutely agree with
you.

Message-ID: <3CFB7014611C6F418B529D81EC0708C70169EF42@itfexch5.central.det.win>

G'day

I am not having success stretching my grey cells into remembering where
I heard this story, but I'm pretty sure it was from the list.

It concerned a bloke in the UK who owned a fully restored MGB for which
he had 2 sets of tyres. One for more frequent use and the other for show
use.

The show use tyres were NOS original tyres that were fitted to 'Bs' when
new. In other words they were 30+ years old and infrequently used. On
the way to a car show with the old tyres fitted, one delaminated causing
a horrific accident and sadly the bloke was killed.

I read that somewhere and I'm wondering if anyone remembers and could
tell where I can find the story?

Many thanks

Hoo Roo

I've got a rose jointed sway bar from Cape International on my BJ8.  It
makes a huge difference the car drives like a dream with that on there.  I'd
recommend a heavy duty sway bar for any 6 cyl healey with 185x15 ++ tires on

Hi,
My regular PC is in bits. My fault - don't ask. Hence I can't refer back to
sizes etc, but......
I bought a bigger/stiffer/thicker (whatever!) anti-roll bar from someone
(AH, Welch or whoever) and the rose jointed ends from Cape. Works really
well. Easy to fit and "does what it says on the can".
I seem to recall that there are three sizes of bar available:-
The standard one which you must assume you already have. A thicker one and
an even thicker one. I'm pretty sure that the thickest one is a bit over the
top for all but very serious/competitive driving. At least, that's what I
recall without accessing my records.
I guess you'll be looking at the bushes down there too...
Simon.

Several years ago, when my wife's car got totaled, Allstate wanted to deduct 
from the value of the car because the back seat was messy from carrying 
ferns in the car a couple of days earlier. Their logic: (remember the car 
was totaled) A dealer would have to pay to get the seat cleaned up IF it 
were going to be sold!

I have the facts on a very similar story, except that it was in California, 
and the car was a Jensen 541 from the early fifties. Running on the original 
Dunlops on the way home from a show (close to home, so he ran on the show tires) 
he was on a freeway in Southern California when a tire blew and spun him into 
a guard rail. He was killed in the impact. Absolutely true story, I knew him 
vaguely and had featured his car in a British Car Magazine story the previous 
year.
So the moral is, if you're going to use original stock tires for shows, don't 
mount them until you're on the outskirts of the show field, and remove them 
before going on any public road.
New tires are just too cheap to ever not use.
Cheers
Gary

Thanks to all who responded to my question about the fastener used for  
the front-most (closest to the door) securing point for the aluminum  
moulding. Curiously, this mystery is not solved, as about half of the  
respondents indicated that a machine screw and nut were to be used (I  
heard a couple of creative approaches to placing the nut behind the  
shroud lip), while the other half said that a self-tapping screw is  
used at this connection point.

I am going to try the self-tapping screw first - it is just so much  
easier, and I will see how it works.

So, no definitive answer. I just wonder what an original, unrestored  
or untampered-with car uses at this location. Enquiring minds want to  
know?

Thanks again to all who responded.

Hi Lin

In a BT7 the 2 end screws were self tapping the other 9 were 1032 screws. 6 
went into the little 'L' shaped threaded plates and 3 had nuts and washers.

Just as shown in the Moss catalogue 'rear body fittings 100/6, 3000' page 
132 in my catalogue or  Plate RM and page R24 in the parts manual.

Worked well for me in 2001.

cheers from west oz

Gary,

While the BMC parts book does not specifically show the fasteners for the
ends of the trim, it does indicate the following:

BN7:  5 tapped plates, 4 - 3/4 inch long screws, and 3 - 5/8 inch long
screws

BT7:  6 tapped plates and 9 screws

I'd go check my BT7 and see what fasteners are used, but due to the ice
storm, I'm not willing to walk out to my detached garage yet.

Ron

Message-ID: <615461.41590.qm@web30309.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

About 2 weeks ago I asked for confirmation as to whether Austin Healey SMO745 had been re-registered as Austin Healey DG95.  Initially the Coys auction sale, lot 355, on Dec 5th had car DG95 described as having been re-registered from SMO745.   A number of you requested that a follow-up be provided once things got sorted out.
   
  A confirmation request was made directly to Coys Auction on Nov 28th.   Although no direct reply was received from Coys Auction, a review of Coys web site on Saturday, Dec 1st  revealed that the description for lot 355 had been amended to remove comments regarding SMO745 being re-registered as DG95.
   
  Following a request to the Austin Healey List and the Historic Rallying List for confirmation, Geoff Cooper of the Historic Rallying List checked with the British DVLA and found that both cars are in fact registered with different engines, colours and dates.  Specifically;
  The vehicle details for ___SMO 745 are: ____ DG 95 are:
  Date of Liability________ 01 06 2008 ______ 01 07 2008
Date of First Registration_ 21 05 1959 ______ 19 07 1958
Year of Manufacture____  Not Available ____ Not Available
Cylinder Capacity (cc)___  2639CC ________ 2912CC
CO2 Emissions_________ Not Available ____ Not Available
Fuel Type_____________ Petrol __________ Petrol
Export Marker_________  Not Applicable ___ Not Applicable
Vehicle Status Licence___ Not Due ________ Not Due
Vehicle Colour_________ WHITE _________ RED
Vehicle Type Approval___ null ___________ null
  Note:  date of liability is date that the next tax disc is required or placed on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notice).


  Results of the auction on Dec 5th were posted on Coys website [ http://www.coys.co.uk/auctions/index.php ] sometime on Dec 10th or 11th .   Lot 355 Austin Healey DG95 is not listed so I assume the car was not sold.
   
  That is the story as I know it to-date.

Listers,
My 1962 BN7 has Michelin 175R15 tires.  The splash panels which mount at 
the front of the right and left wheel arch are missing and I'm wondering 
if they were removed in order to provide adequate clearance for the 
front tires when making sharp right and left turns.  Question- Any of 
you have this size tire on your car with the splash panels in place and 
if so do you have adequate tire clearance?

I had Michelin 175R15 tires on my BN4 and they did foul the splash guards. I
now have Vredestein Sprint 165R15s and they also hit the splash guards. In
both cases this only happens when the wheels are on full lock for example when
turning to park the car. It doesn't happen on the road because I never turn
the wheels that far. It has taken the paint off small areas on the splash
guards. When I first got the car there were no lower splash guard brackets and
I didn't notice any rubbing. Installation of those brackets pushed the lower
end of the splash guards farther into the wheel wells and I began to hear the
rubbing during parking at full lock. I think if I shorten the brackets a bit I
can eliminate the rubbing but haven't got around to it yet.

Cheers

Rick Swain

G'day

Sorry I can't provide the definitive answer about the moulding fasteners
but I do have a question that someone may care to enlighten me on.

Living in Australia where in most areas it's open top motoring 356 days
of the year I am completely unfamiliar with what is meant by an ice
storm.

Can someone please tell me what happens? What causes it? What do you do?


I recall seeing a film some years back with Sigourney Weaver (Sigh!)
that was set in an ice storm, but no doubt it was all done with mirrors.

Hi Patrick,
Before I moved into this G...D... climate I was also completely unaware
that
such horrible weather even existed. In fact we are having a minor one in
Toronto right at this moment.
As I understand what actually happens it is that if the temperature
rises
from well below freezing to some small amount above freezing and rain
starts
the rain water freezes onto everything it hits. If the temperature at
the
ground level is just below freezing and that a little distance above is
above during rain the same thing can happen.
You can see the results here.

I've never seen Sigourney Weaver around here.  I suppose she could handle a
chain saw pretty good.

Patrick, an ice storm is when it rains in cold weather and the rain freezes
into ice, covering every surface.  Trees, cars, houses power lines, every
plant, grass lawns, everything is covered with ice.  It's very beautiful.
Everything shines like crystal.  It is something to behold.

The down side is that large tree limps crack under the added weight of the
ice and fall to the ground, blocking streets and sometimes damaging
buildings and cars.  The number of automobile accidents can be too large for
the police departments to handle all the calls.  Power lines fall to the
ground under the weight of the ice, terminating the electrical service to
homes and businesses.  In larger cities, hundreds of thousands of people can
be without electricity for hours, days, or weeks.  In addition to not having
any lights, most people do not have any heat in their homes without the
electricity to run their forced air furnaces.

Today's storm was mild for where I live.  But the walk to my garage on ice
covered concrete was not something I wanted to do so early in the morning
when I replied to Gary's email.

Ice storms are more common in the south-south central-south west USA
where snow storms are relatively rare.  When the air temp has been low
enough for long enough, outside things (like trees, power lines, etc.)
get cold enough that rain, sleet mist and such fall on them and almost
immediately freeze.  Get the picture??  The ice will completely encase
whatever it's on.  Thus, the "ice storm" you asked about.  That term
may, however, be rather ambiguous since any ice that may be driven by
storm force winds would tend to be fine sleet and not big chunks, at
least that's this Arkansan's take on it.  I've seen lots of these here.
It's the aftermath we see.  It is stunningly beautiful to look at the
next day with the sun shining (like a wonderland of mirrors and lights)
yet incredibly destructive and disruptive to infrastructure, resources,
and daily life.  I leave the AH in the garage...

Gary,

While the BMC parts book does not specifically show the fasteners for
the
ends of the trim, it does indicate the following:

BN7:  5 tapped plates, 4 - 3/4 inch long screws, and 3 - 5/8 inch long
screws

BT7:  6 tapped plates and 9 screws

I'd go check my BT7 and see what fasteners are used, but due to the ice
storm, I'm not willing to walk out to my detached garage yet.

There ARE exceptions in the Healey concours world. If a person fits a set of 
brand-new 165x15 radials to his concours car, and then drives it a reasonable 
distance to the meet, he gets bonus points exactly equal to the standard 
deduction he takes for the non-original spec tires. On the other hand,   he also 
will get full points if he fits brand-new (and perfectly roadworthy) Dunlop 
Roadspeed tires to the car and trailers his car to the meet where it's judged. 
Just wanted to make sure that was understood.
Cheers
Gary

I was at the event and knew this person.
He also did not believe in using seatbelts - especially in a car that did not 
have them originally.
He was thrown from the fiberglass car and that is why he was killed.
His wife had her belt on and was not injured.
Tragic! Also a good case to install belts and use them.

This is one of the reasons that there should be some exceptions in
the concours world. This owner also wanted his car to be totally
correct and did not install seat belts.  I see many cars that are
running on old tires that should be replaced. There is a date on a
tire that will tell you how old they are and for saftey reasons I
recommend that a tire that is over 8 years old be replaced no matter
what the wear is on the tread. Due to the aging of the rubber.

The following info is from Tire Racks web site on dating tires

David Nock


o?<

When it comes to determining the age of a tire, it is easy to
identify when a tire was manufactured by reading its Tire
Identification Code (serial number). Unlike vehicle identification
numbers (VINs) and the serial numbers used on many other consumer
goods (which identify one specific item), Tire Identification Codes
are really batch codes that identify which week and year the tire was
produced.

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires that Tire Identification Code
be a combination of eleven or twelve letters and numbers that
identify the manufacturing location, tire size, manufacturer's code,
and week and year the tire was manufactured.

Today, the week and year the tire was manufactured is contained in
the last four digits of the serial number, with the 2 digits used to
identify the week a tire was manufactured immediately preceding the 2
digits used to identify the year.

Examples of tires manufactured since 2000 with this Tire
Identification Code format:

XXXXXXXX 0600

XXXXXXXX 0600
06 - Manufactured during the 06th week of the year
XXXXXXXX 0600
00 - Manufactured during 2000
And

XXXXXXXX 0604

XXXXXXXX 0600
06 - Manufactured during the 06th week of the year
XXXXXXXX 0604
04 - Manufactured during 2004
The Tire Identification Code for tires produced prior to 2000 was
based on the assumption that no tire would be in service for ten
years. They were required to provided the same information, with the
week and year the tire was built contained in the last three digits.
The 2 digits used to identify the week a tire was manufactured
immediately preceded a single digit used to identify the year.

For example, if the Tire Identification Code on a tire reads:

XXXXXXXX 0680

XXXXXXXX 0600
06 - Manufactured during the 06th week of the year
XXXXXXXX 0680
8 - Manufactured during the 8th year of the decade
While the previous serial number format identified that a tire was
built in the 8th year of a decade, there was no universal identifier
that confirmed which decade (tires produced in the 1990s may have a
small triangle following the Tire Identification Code to identify the
decade). The Tire Identification Code format used since 2000
accurately confirms the year.

Dear Listers,
Just got back from a screening of the soon-to-be-realeased Chipmonk film at Fox.  The lead character, Dave, is a somewhat slacker misic writer who lives in a cute little Hollywood bungalow complex, likes the girl next door and drives ............. a tired, but cheerful red TR4 with a primered door ........... kudos ti the studio for not making any British car negative subplots or comments.

Worked for me - film was cute and not as bad as I had imagined.

Hi Michael,
The idea of the wet test is to identify whether the leakage is through the
valves or the rings. The fact that there is very little improvement in the
relative compressions would definitely indicate that a valve problem is the
likely cause. 
The advantage of doing a leak down test in this instance is that you may be
able to hear where the leakage is occurring, noise at the exhaust for valve,
noise from the oil filler cap for the rings.

This question is related to an MGA engine so if you aren't interested
please

I did a compression test on the MGA engine in my Elva and got the  following

results (reading from cylinders 1-4):
 
Engine cold :  156-148-137-158
 
Engine hot:     137-140-125-145

It seems that cylinder #3 is low by about 10-15% across the  board.   But 
does the fact that the oil squirt raised all readings up  proportionally
point 
toward a bad exhaust valve?  Would a leakdown test be  any more significant?

Hi Michael,

Yes - I think it would tell you much more. It will also tell you where 
the leakage is.
On a serious race engine I would consider anything greater than 5% 
leakage to be excessive.

Dave

I would think that the increase due to oil would point to rings rather than 
valves. A leak down test should help pinpoint the cause of low compression. If 
it is an intake valve you will hear a faint hissing sound when you listen into 
a carburetor. If it is an exhaust valve you will hear it in the exhaust pipe.

Hi All -

Got the head off my wonky A90 and found out that one of the push rods is
bent.  I was thinking the noise was a spun bearing but now I wonder if it's
just that the PO put in a bonze valve guide recently.  I can't think of
anything else that would cause a bent push rod.  Ideas / thoughts?

Where can I get decent valve guides?

I also want to pull the caps off the crank bearings - any easy suggestions
for doing this?  They are a slight interference fit on the block so you can
pull them off by hand, unfortuantely.

Also, where can I get decent bearings and thrust washers for the motor?

Thanks!

Alan

There is a listing for the late November Torrey Pines race of a 100S

A question to Roy is pending.
Logistically, I think it is feasible.

I have always considered a compression test to be crude at best at
pinpointing problems.  The readings given tend to make me also look at
piston to wall clearance on the motor.  Off the top of my head, I don't
recall ever seeing readings where cold compression was higher than warm
compression.
No knowing the compression ratio of the engine it is hard to say just how
low these readings are from expected.
My gut feeling is that there is a piston to wall clearance problem or some
seriously worn cylinder bores.  If I were my engine I would tear it down and
measure the bores both length wise and crosswise at the top and bottom to
check for ovality and taper.  I suspect that you will find they are oval.  I
know MGB engines wear that way, I suspect that an A engine would also.

Same is happening to me on my yahoo account.  However, my habit is to
visually scan my bulk mail box before dumping it.  I have usually found that
there is one or two that I actually want. Number of Healey listing emails to
my bulk file has noticablly increased within the last 3 days.

Yup Yahoo employee here with an Austin-Healey. A 1966 BJ8. I bought  
it about a month ago at a garage sale believe it or not. My dad  
spotted it off in the corner, called me with the details, and I  
bought it over the phone with his help.

It has '91 sticker on the original California black license plates.  
Basically it has been sitting for over 15 years (in a garage mostly).  
99% rust-free. The only speck of rust is in the back inside of the  
trunk (er, boot) and that's just surface stuff that will sand off. No  
rust anywhere else. It is from the Palm Springs desert area.

Here's some pics from when we first brought it home and started  
cleaning it up:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/9394028 at N06/sets/72157603280322240/

I now have the carbs plus clutch & brake master cylinders off in  
order to rebuild them all...

Anyway my "day job" is at Yahoo! So search the web with Yahoo please,  
not that other G word... :)

I just joined the list a few weeks ago and been meaning to introduce  
myself. Had to step in and help when I saw a Yahoo problem!

Subject: [Healeys] Aluminum cockpit moulding - BT7
Message-ID: <C167A8F7-C551-4466-A906-6EDB5857B7B3@mac.com>

Okay, here is my final summary of this topic.

I heard from a number of folks, several of whom I consider to be  
Healey "authorities." There was a split decision as to whether the  
front securing fastener on the aluminum moulding is a #10 machine  
screw with nut, or a #10 sheet metal screw. My guess is that  
originally the car had sheet metal screws in this location.

However, in my case, and I suspect in many others, the hole in the  
shroud for the sheet metal screw was enlarged over the years to the  
point that a #10 screw will no longer tighten down. Going to a #12 to  
solve the problem results in a screw head that is much too large for  
the moulding hole and it would not match the other machine screws in  
the moulding.

I love this the Healey fraternity because people are so willing to  
help. Jack Brashear came up with what I consider to be the best  
solution to this issue. Getting a regular nut on the back of the  
securing screw is virtually impossible. Good luck, too, getting any  
kind of wrench on the nut to hold it while tightening the screw!

Jack's suggestion was to us a Kep's nut (it has a star lock washer  
attached to it) to secure a #10 x 1/2" or 5/8" machine screw. See the  
photos (click on the thumnail for larger image) at the following web  
site:

http://homepage.mac.com/linwoodrose/PhotoAlbum60.html

As Jack suggested, I stuck the Keps nut on the end of a hacksaw blade  
with some 3M rope caulk, being careful not to get the caulk in the  
threads of the nut. I used a 5/16" nut on the back side of the blade  
to act as a spacer and slid the blade with nuts behind the moulding  
and shroud lip. You can visually line up the holes and insert the  
screw, turning carefully until it engages. You might need to hold a  
flat blade screw driver against the nut until it gets tight enough for  
the teeth on the washer to grab hold. The hack saw blade was the key -  
nothing much thicker than the blade will work in the limited space  
available. That is why I think self tapping screws were used  
originally as in the door moulding trim, because this labor intensive  
process would just be too slow for the assembly line!

A very minor point in a total restoration process, but a potentially  
aggravating one when you get down to the final assembly stages.

Cheers,

Welcome Carl.  And congratulations.  Now you are going to have all members of the Healey List scrounging local garage sales.
   
  About the Healey Stuff to Bulk/Spam - your email landed in my Yahoo bulk box.  Now, I did not flag previous emails that fell into the bulk box but my recollection is that not all addresses were from a Yahoo source.  As previously mentioned, it may be due to various ISP's going overboard with their spam protection.  My own opinion is that it may be due to individual security systems.  In my case, I use Trend Micro PC-cillin and receive updates almost daily.
   
  My guess.  Anyway, I review my bulk box before I dump it.

   What  a  find!!!   I'm curious as to why/how the dashpot damper piston
   rods are sticking out through their caps.
   Whatever you do, keep the original plates.

   What is it when a man talks dirty to a woman?
   Sexual harassment.

   What is it when a woman talks dirty to a man?
   $3.99 a minute.

   There's a senior citizen driving on the highway. His wife calls him on
   his  cell  phone  and in a worried voice says, ''Herman, be careful! I
   just  heard on the radio that there was a madman driving the wrong way
   on Route 280!''

   Herman says, ''I know, but there isn't just one, there are hundreds!''

   A  man  walks  into  a pub and says, "Give me three pints of Guinness,
   please."

   So  the  bartender  brings  him  three  pints  and the man proceeds to
   alternately  sip  one,  then  the  other, then the third until they're
   gone.

   He  then  orders  three  more and the bartender says, "Sir, I know you
   like  them  cold, so you can start with one and I'll bring you a fresh
   one as soon as you're low."

   The  man  says,  "You  don't  understand.  I have two brothers, one in
   Australia  and  one  in  the  States. We made a vow to each other that
   every  Saturday  night  we'd  still  drink  together. So right now, my
   brothers have three Guinness Stouts too and we're drinking together."

   The bartender thinks it's a wonderful tradition and every week he sets
   up  the  guy's  three  beers as soon as he enters in the bar. Then one
   week,  the  man  comes  in  and  orders only two. He drinks them, then
   orders  two  more.  The bartender sadly says, "Knowing your tradition,
   I'd  just  like  to  just say that I'm sorry that one of your brothers
   died."
   The man replies, "Oh, my brothers are fine - I just quit drinking."

I've seen this happen several times on carbs with the plastic damper caps. Usually no oil in the damper and the carb backfires on cold starts. The pin pops through the cap.

Carl -

I had a good look at your pictures and I have to say, you have found an
absolute gem.  The shrouds look perfect (the most important thing) which
means this thing probably has never been in a major accident.

Have a look at my healeys (hosted by Yahoo :) ):

and my A90 which is the grandfather of the 100 (same motor & gearbox) :

>From my readings on the topic while researching valve guide seals, bronze 
guides can be a problem in cast iron heads because of the difference in 
thermal expansion rates. The head expanding and contracting eventually 
crushes the guide and traps the valve stem. (Or so they say.) any of the 
usual suspects will be able to provide guides and any competent machine shop 
should be able to install them. While I was at it I installed newer pattern 
valve guide seals too.

The main bearing caps have a threaded hole in them (If I remember they are 
the same pattern as the cap bolts. so you can thread a bolt into the cap and 
use it for leverage to pull the cap out. maybe you could adapt a slide 
hammer to it. Bearings are also pretty commonly available in the most common 
undersizes.

Good luck.

Nice pis of Tahoe. My 100 is in the line there somewhere... As for the the 
A90, It's obvious that the Healey got its looks from gramma's side of the

Well I have now been inducted into the Hall of Ridiculous Brit car Procedures.
"Stitching in the Rear Seats"   What a PITA!

I see why Moss cut most or this stressful operation from there video tape.
Surely with all the high tech adhesive products that we have now, there must
be a better way.

After all I don't expect to have Bimbo the Elephant sitting in my back seat
any time soon.

Wouldn't a good adhesive be acceptable in this area.

Patiently waiting to hear what others have used in this area.

And just out of curiosity, is this a concourse area that is judged on?

No,  no concourse here,  just curious because it is such an unobtainable
area.

Mark,

Are you referring to the lacing down of the rear seat covers through the 
series of holes in the seat pan? This keeps the pleated portions down and 
smooth while allowing the outer U shaped perimeter to be pulled smoothly 
into place with even pressure and without glue.

On a properly constructed set of rear seat covers incorporating the tie 
downs, this is a very simple procedure. On the other hand if these laces 
were not incorporated into the construction of the seat covers, I could see 
where you are sounding frustrated.

I've seen some of the cheaper improperly constructed rear seat covers thet 
seem to rely on adhesive to keep the pleated portion down in its proper 
place, and over time with dampness, hot sunshine, etc. the glues can let go, 
leaving the area looking very poor. The factory must have obviously realized 
this and incorporated the lacing down of the panels.

Lastly, "concourse" is a walkway, "concours" is a contest.<grin>

Mark:
I followed that Moss tape exactly and it was easy to do.  If you drill the
extra holes for the stitching it will hold a little better.  Make sure your
pans and studs are in good shape.  For adhesive, I used Wedgewood (DAP)
contact cement because that is all I could find.  Home Depot has it.  It is
a little tricky to work with and you have only one good shot at sticking the
vinyl after it tacks up but it works.

Sorry bout that Peter.    That would be the rear seat pans in a BT7.   The 
way that the seat  covers are stitched to the seat pans.

My question about concours is in reference to how the judges would be able 
to tell if the seat covers  were stitched in or not.

Message-ID: <000801c83e7e$d1ebebc0$2f01a8c0@deepthought42>

Hi,

So I'm (still) helping my friend with his 1954 100-4 and I have a question
about his wire wheels.  They are 60 spoke, so not original to the 100-4 (but
still pretty old), but here is the odd thing.  The holes in all four wheels
where the valve of the tube comes through is BIG.  Most holes I've seen in
wheels where a valve from a tube comes through are just slightly bigger that
the valve, but the wheels on my friends car have holes just a bit larger that
a quarter.  I can see the base of the valve and a good bit of tube around it.
So, what's the deal here?  Did older tubes have larger valves that required a
larger hole, or has someone, (the Dreaded Previous Owners),  made the holes
bigger?  Opinions please.

Lost in the Sea of Holes,

Paul B.

Hi Mark.

Locating the piping with the string through the holes in the pan gives a good,
solid, dry, exactly centered starting point for the pan trim job.  No need to
do the stressful "eyeball and slam it down" one-shot method which usually
results in a crooked or off-centre cover.

Punch holes in the plastic piping flange at the exact same spacings as the
holes in the pan with a belt punch, and pass a foot-long length of butcher's
cord through each hole.  Lay the cover on the pan, passing each pair of
dangling strings through their corresponding hole.  Repeat for all nine holes.
Tie the strings to each other at the back.  Goop up the tied strings with
contact cement, cut a 1" x 1' crescent-shaped vinyl patch, glue it up as well,
and cover the tied strings with the patch. No sewing.

 You're then free to pull the cover edges 'round the pan edges "dry" at your
leisure, and you've created a nice bit of "loft" with a truly deep piping
valley between the pleated panel and the horseshoe.   The roadster pans have a
horsehair mat under the pleated panel, and the piping being pulled right down
to the steel pan is not possible with an "only glued"  job.  The result is a
shallow, flat-looking pan which you can spot a mile away.  Every other Healey
suffers from "flat pan syndrome" because the old covers with the string
remains weren't there as a guide, or the pull-down string business was
ignored, or Manuel's Trim & Tint Emporium wasn't aware they should be there.

On the roadsters, make sure you mark the holes for the pan screws accurately
from the back and poke them through with an awl before the edges are glued at
the back.  That way no hit and miss searches for the holes from the front.
And please, no giant-sized self tappers suitable for oak furniture.  Just
regular #6 trim screws and cup washers.  On the BJ 8's, the studs take a
beating and- as Dan says- make sure they locate in their holes and take a nut
before trimming.

And the judges can spot whether there is string and knots underneath the vinyl
patches underneath the pans.  :-)

Best
Peter

The concours judges will not get under a car to determine if the rear seats 
have been tied onto the pans per original practice. However, the seats will 
be looked at from inside the car to determine if the "look" is right.

Howdy all:

I'm thinking about buying a BT7, and I'll be going to look at it next
week (weather permitting).  I'm intimately familiar with my BJ8, and
assume that all of the nasty spots that rot on a Big Healey, but is
there anything else unique to a BT7 I should look out for?  Thanks!

Message-ID: <000401c83ea3$c6637fa0$fb086c18@computer>

Dan:

I'm attaching some photos that I have from the time I went through the same 
agonising tire choice exercise.

To my way of thinking, the key factor as to how a mounted tire will look on 
a Healey is it's diameter - how it fills the wheel arch opening.  I decide 
on the Vredestein 185/70 15 at that time - it's mounted diameter is 25.6" 
(at least mine are) which is as close as possible to the 26" of the original 
bias ply tires and the no longer available Michelin 175 15, which is on the 
right in the photos.  The left wheel with the Vred is a 457F's, the right 
one is a 459 - only difference is the offset.  The 459 is offset about 3/8" 
to the outside - actually a Morgan wheel that worked well on the Healey, 
with the skinnier tire.

I've seen Healeys with the 165 Michelins - in my opinion, they look too 
'short', particularly on the BJ8 which sits higher at the rear.  You see way 
too much paint in the wheel arch on light coloured cars.  I imagine that the 
Kumhos would look about the same.  The Vred's don't have quite the 'vintage' 
look to them, but they are an outstanding performing tire - totally 
transformed the feel of the car from the Michelin 175's that I removed.  I 
am extremely pleased with them, and so are 6 - 8 other Healey owners in my 
area that run them. They are softer and won't deliver the mileage of some of 
the others, but then most of us will be changing tires due to age long 
before they are worn out anyway, of at least we should be.

Dan -

For the 5.5" rim you've bought you really should put the 185/70/r15.  If you
were running the standard 4.5" rim then you mount the 165s.  The tread width
should be about the same as the rim width.  if it's too narrow it won't look
right and you could have the bead seperate under heavy use, although this is
admittedly unlikely.

Older tubes had a larger valve stem.you can use this style of wheels . You will need a grommet to fill the large hole in the wheel. Go to www.hendrixwirewheel.com to see how to determine the condition of your wheel splines snd the splined hubs on your car.

Mark -

Having done the stitching personally on my own BJ8, it's really not that
difficult provided you have the appropriate apholsterer's needles (thicker
needles).  Basically you stitch it first very loosely after you've marked
through the holes where the stitches should go.  i.e. you center the seat
cushion as if you are about to glue it all together then flip the seat over
to mark through the holes where the stitches go.  Then you can pull the seat
cover up and stitch directly to the bead then loosely run the string through
the hole in the seat pan and back through again and stitch again, and back
out and back in again until you get to the last hole/knot.  Then you pull it
all tight and finish off the last knot by flipping the fabric over on the
last portion on the top side of the seat.

You really need to stitch this otherwise you won't be able to pull the rear
and side portions of the seat tight, which will look stupid and wrinkly if
it's not stitched.  No adhesive will hold properly when you pull the rear
and side portions of the seat material tight - you need the stitch.

Do the job as the factory did it and it will look great.

Dan,
Some owners using tubes have had a problem with wear on the valve stem by 
the raw edge of the wheel stem hole.  I believe it is Norm Nock who 
recommends enlarging the stem hole and inserting a grommet to protect the 
stem.
Vrooom vrooom,

Alan:

Small correction - the 457F is a 5" wheel - wouldn't want to lead others 
astray!  I think that the 185/70 Vreds look about as good as it gets on that 
wheel, given that the Michelin 175's are no longer available.

I ran?Good-Year Eagle GT+4s 195/70-15 on 5.5 X15?Minilite Repro. wheels until the Good-Years were discontinued. 
After diligently searching for replacements?I liked?and that were reasonably priced I purchased Dunlop SP-60 195/65-15. They have worked very well for the first 6,000+ miles. There is rub on the inner splash panel at full lock but I try not to get in a situation where that tight of a turn is required.?

Thanks for  all the feedback on the seat cover and seat pan stitching.    The
general consensus was to stitch it as original cause glue will probably lift
after the seat sides are pulled and glued down.

Doing the job with several pieces of cord sounds a bit easier than using one
long one.

Thanks again List,

Alan is correct, the originals were indeed stitched as he has described using
an upholsterers needle and "Barbour's linen stitching twine".  The finished
appearance of the pan between holes alternated from pair of threads, to
blank,to pair of threads to blank, etc.

The needle-free, hand-tied alternative I described gets the job of tieing the
piping down to the pan done as well without the needle and skilled fingers of
a trained upholsterer.

Hi All -

I have the rods and pistons out of the old lady and we are trying to
determine the current bore on the car because she only needs new rings (one
of the rings is broken).  I can't tell if the pistons are oversized because
there are no size markings on them.

The only thing the piston says on the top is:

808-15
DT

No other markings.

Am I to assume these are Std/factory bore with these markings?
Thanks,

Tim,

Go and purchase a 12v Odessey battery (gel type). They have a size similar 
to the foot print of the original 6v battery. Their PC925T model  is 6 
15/32" x6 3/4" x 5 9/16" tall (shorter than the original). The T designation 
gives you conventional SAE top post terminals. They are fantastic, clean, 
trouble free and you won't need to do any modifications to the tray area to 
clear the axle diff. The cold cranking amps is much greater than the car 
ever needed, leaving lots of power to spare. They have a 10 year warranty 
which speaks for itself. To get to their web site listings go here: 
http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc925t.htm

Alan ,

Given that the standard bore is 3.4375" and you should have a clearance 
measured at the bottom of the skirt at right angles to the gudgeon (wrist) 
pin of .0012" to .0018", just mike the pistons. As long as there is not 
extreme scuffing you should find a meaurement somewhere around 3.4373".

Hi Carl,

Sounds like you are the guy !!!!!

About 90% of my yahoo mail isnow going to Bulk - happened overnight.

Clearly as I amd others have not made prefernce changes in individual
machines, there must have been a chnage in the prototcol of spam
detemination by yahoo, as the majority of these emails are not spam.

What do you need from the list to help fix this???

The email below from you to me as a lister went to Bulk.

Tim,
In addition to a quality battery as Rich suggested you may want to get a 
Battery Tender (Google them to get all the details).  It's advertised as 
  "plug it in and forget it".  I like it because I don't have to choose 
a charge amperage or wonder if I left it on long enough or too long. Get 
the larger size, not the one for motorcycle batteries. For me, it's 
worked very well.  When I installed my Optima battery in my BN7 I got 
one of the battery trays from British Car Specialists and used a couple 
of "J" bolts on each side through a piece of aluminum bar stock across 
the top.  Round off the sharp corners of the bar stock with your jig saw 
and everything looks quite nice.
Regards,
Dan White

A brute force solution is just to tell your Yahoo browser to filter all email with "healeys" in it to your inbox. Works for me.

As an alternative, if you can get a bit of paint
mixed, there is a refillable pressurized spray can
available from northerntool.com. I have 2 but not yet
used them. They sell for around $15., got mine on sale
$11. Seem to be well made, my neighbor claims he did a
whole car with one. Can be pressurized with a bicycle
pump!

Dear Richard,

 

You can have a spray can made up at your local car paint supply shop for
$20 to $30.   You might try a close match by using PPG DBU 3041 Diamond Blue
Metallic. 

Ask them to see a paint swatch of that color and take an original painted
part to see if it matches close enough for you.

Yeah I was going to suggest that. In the "options" you can set up  
email filters. I would recommend creating an email folder for Healeys  
mail. Just create a filter that moves mail with subject [healeys] to  
a 'healeys' folder (or to your Inbox if you prefer).

But yes it sounds like something changed recently at Yahoo. Working  
on it on my end. Will probably take at least a  couple weeks though,  
especially with Christmas coming up.

Richard,
My local PPG automotive paint store mixes up paint in spray cans to 
match whatever color you want. Perhaps someone in your area does it 
also.  The type of paint that they supply is acrylic enamel, I think, 
but may get into other types also.  They have a digital camera that 
takes a picture of whatever you bring to them to match the color or I 
have already had them match BMC colors from the old Ditzler codes.
I'm in PA, so it would probably not work out for you to use my store, 
but if you can't find anyone in your area, it could be done.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Most areas have automotive paint stores that can color match and give you
the paint in spray cans. I had this done in Las Vegas several years ago when
I lived there and the minimum was three cans at a very nominal price. (Less
than $10 per can) I took a clean part down to them so that they could give
me an exact match. They hit it right on the button. Can't tell what is new
spray and what is old. Let your fingers walk through the Yellow Pages.

Hello Jackson,
I have been checking the website at Northern tool and have been unable to

You also might want to try TOWER PAINT    in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. 
(909-235-6520).  They have a great web site (I don't remember but you should 
have no trouble finding it).  They have all the old colors for Healeys and 
other classic cars and can mix from their formula or try to match a sample 
you send them.  They will put it into 16 oz spray cans and mail them to you. 
Reasonable cost.  I just purchased several cans of Tartan Red to touch up 
the engine bay of my MG.

Check your local hardware & auto stores for the "Preval Sprayer". It 
works quite well for small jobs.

Northern probably no longer carries these self fill spray containers because 
of new environmental laws that it is illegal to use air to spray paint with.

Surely you jest? If  air cannot be used to spray paint and other 
aerosols are banned, that leaves paint brushes.

I jest in reaction to the new legislation that all auto paints are soon to 
be water based - no jest.

The paint brushes are ok, if no natural bristles are used (animal hair)  ;^)

Actually, that will also mean that it will be illegal to breath when painting
because you will be entering toxic air (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere
when appling a coat of paint. That means you better be fast at painting
because you will have to hold your breath.

Message-ID: <d5f.1ac4b20d.3496f394@aol.com>

I am working on a '64 BJ8, Phase 1 with the small glass single indicator 
lamps in the front & rear. The same as on all earlier 100-6's & 3000's.  Moss 
lists two rubber boots, short (2-3/8" overall) & long (3-1/4" overall). My old one 
measures 2-5/8" overall. The short one seems too short & the long one seems 
way too long. Are there any other sources that provide a better fitting boot? 
If not, which one do you recommend? Also, Moss lists two bulb holder 
assemblies, early spring type & replacement type. Which would be most original for my 
year car? Last, I am in need of one clear lens, with "Lucas, Made in England", 
etc., on it. I am assuming Moss's doesn't say that on it (they are closed as I 
type this), so does anyone have one for sale? 
Thanks,

Macgregor makes these.   I ordered a couple .   Seem to be OK but a little 
funkie looking.   Not made exactly like the originals.   Took  a couple 
extra weeks to receive.   Per the list he seems to be backed up quite 
frequently since he tries to do a lot of the business himself.  If you need 
a quick fix, try the other companies.

And there is always Victoria British.

Tom,

There is no way that a "new nut" works anything like a good split die.
Ed, thanks for the tip. I've made a couple of split dies in the past. 
It's a whole lot of work!

Regards,
Dave

Well Listers . . . 

Seems to me this is one of the no-nos of this list.    We are all familiar with the commercial restorers out there and should not be bombarded with any of their advertising.  As I understand it individuals with an occasional "parts for sale" type ad are OK but I feel this is a blatant infringement on the purposes of this list.

Hi Gary,
For a Phase 1 the earlier side light boots are correct. I think you will
find that yours have expanded over the years and that the shorter ones will
fit fine.
As I recall the earlier cars used springs under the contacts of the sockets
but the later ones used rubber tubes to provide the contact pressure. The
ones with the rubber tubes, i.e. not the earlier spring types, would be most
correct for a Phase 1 BJ8.
I probably have some original clear glass lenses but I don't recall their
having LUCAS cast into them.

I am working on a '64 BJ8, Phase 1 with the small glass single indicator 
lamps in the front & rear. The same as on all earlier 100-6's & 3000's.
Moss 
lists two rubber boots, short (2-3/8" overall) & long (3-1/4" overall). My
old one 
measures 2-5/8" overall. The short one seems too short & the long one seems 
way too long. Are there any other sources that provide a better fitting
boot? 
If not, which one do you recommend? Also, Moss lists two bulb holder 
assemblies, early spring type & replacement type. Which would be most
original for my 
year car? Last, I am in need of one clear lens, with "Lucas, Made in
England", 
etc., on it. I am assuming Moss's doesn't say that on it (they are closed as
I 
type this), so does anyone have one for sale? 
Thanks,
Gary Hodson

I watched it and considered it educational, which I consider one of the

paint for their cars.  it will have to be sold only to personnel trained and

completed by 2011,  so if you are dithering on whether to paint your car soon,

G'day

Living some 15,000 miles from anyone connected with Imagination
Engineering I cannot resist commenting. In fact I will say right up that
in the 10 years of so that I have been contributing to this list no one
has never asked me what I wanted to see on it.

Frankly I couldn't give a wombat's arse what was on the list.

I enjoyed looking at the images and especially the website. Any
restoration business that has taken on such diverse vehicles as Rover
3500, Austin-Healey and Bugatti T35 has got to be of interest. Having
been evolved with Bugattis I can well understand the exacting work
involved.

We would all be better served if we spent less time finding things to
criticise and looked at the positive.

I don't know what the list rules are, but I have no problem with this  post.  
I found it to be quite interesting and my only complaint is there  was too 
much on the sandblasting part.  Our hobby is dependent upon  individual 
businesses that are willing to put their butts on the line to offer  products and 
services.  Without them, we'd be in a world of hurt.

Lighten up guys.  Our man Quinn has it right.  Lets focus on the positive.  If a link seems offensive or too commercial don't click on it.  There are lots of other commercial / professionals on this list who will occasionally put in a subtle plug for their services.  I say god bless em they are the back bone of this list and the source of plenty of valuable information.  Should anyone become overly commercial I'm sure a sure an overwhelming cascade of criticism will put things to right in short order.  After all  it's the list.

I have to agree. All resto information should be welcome, even if we find 
somethying to critisize in the method.

It's not like the list is overwhelmed with new posts and in need of pruning.

I would also like to add that I don't find this a problem at all, at 
least it is interesting, though I do agree just how much sandblasting 
can anyone watch! I thing any Healey business should be welcome to post 
to the list as long as the information will be of interest to the 
members, and educational. I don't want to see blatant advertising, but 
as long as the post has merit I think it's fine. I'm far less likely to 
press delete on this sort of post than one which mentions tyres!!

our original pumps may be made by a tractor part company , ???????? Ferguson

Several years ago there was considerable discussion on the list about the 1957 Sebring race and the three Austin Healey cars in that event.  
   
  A friend of mine sent me this ebay auction for a photo of Austin Healey #25 which I thought might be of interest.  See eBay Item number: 220183814651
  http://cgi.ebay.com/AUTO-RACING-FILM-1960s-European-Race-Cars-Photo-2_W0QQitemZ220183814651QQihZ012QQcategoryZ60318QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
   
  If I'm not mistaken, this is a shot from the 1957 Sebring race with #25 Austin Healey Special 2680cc driven by Gill Geitner/Ray Cuomo and entered by Hambro.   During the race, Ray Cuomo in Car # 25 struck a curb due to being forced off line. The car made it back to the pits where temporary repairs were carried out.  The photo in the auction seems to have been taken after the temporary repairs were completed.  Cuomo finished the race in 26th place.  The attached MSWord file contains photos that seem to fit together.  Very interesting.

Message-ID: <437409.48049.qm@web32110.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

List:  Some had a question about mounting and antenna.  I solved the problem by getting a thin piece of sheet metal and cutting it to size and shape and then mounted it between the rear bumper and the rear surround.  To do this I suggest making a template out of cardboard, less likely to scratch the paint. The bracket was then bolted to the right rear bumper bracket.  Radio Shack had an extra long cable and just hid the excess under the dash. Regardib static a resistor attached to the distributor solved the problem.  I was able to get the resistor at an old parts store.  No holes drilled in the sheet metal.  Good luck, John

I have a clamp-on antenna that I mount on the rear bumper support and run  
the wire in through the rubber gasket with no need to drill any hole.   You can 
get extensions for the antenna to reach the radio.
 
As to the static, if the coil-distributor lead is long enough try  
disconnecting one end and tying a simple overhand knot in the wire and then  
reconnecting it.  A guy showed me this years ago and it actually  worked.

If I was replacing the one on my BJ-7

I would go the electric route!!

I also do have a POS grd. Motorola AM pushbutton radio (which I am SERIOUSLY

Also, I learned a very long time ago (asuming LHD car) that antennas are way

Hi Guys
My bj8 is nearly ready for its paint, the chassis has been completed except
for the b posts and outer sills which are going on this week with the outer
panels in place and the doors / wings / shrouds all repaired. Whilst it has
been away I have took the opportunity to tidy up my garage and paint the floor
walls and improve the lighting (what a difference). I have had all the running
gear powder coated and have nearly finished building it up ready for me to fit
to bring it home (thanks for the advice and replies to questions).
So for anyone interested or need inspiration have al ook at the photos linked
from John Sims website or :http://photos.orange.co.uk/album/4527472
(sorry they are not in much of an order but too busy with other things, maybe
some of them will help other novices seeing how the front suspension goes
together etc)
once again thanks for the help, but there may be many more questions to
comeregards Andy

Todd
I may not be able to help that much living on another continent, I live near
Leicester in England 60 miles from where your  Healey was made. I paid about
250 dollars for 60 items to be powder coated ranging from the rear axle (had
to make cover plate to keep medium out), to wishbone arms and smaller
brackets.
Advice I can give is to use a powder coater (and also with chrome plater) that
has been recommended and worked with old car bits before, I also took pictures
of each group of items and gave to him so we both knew what he had. Also make
sure that each part number that is on each part can be read or punch them so
you know what side of the car it goes on (especially wishbone arms etc as you
have 2 different arms with one on the left at the front whilst the other on
the right side will go at the back)
My body man who usually rebuilds the entire car recommended me.
Best advise is to use your local club members or this list for
recommendations.
best of luck
Andy

Hello listers
  Last week I asked the question about rocker arms that were unbushed and had an internal scroll for the oil feed to the tappet screw, they also had the hole feeding to the top of the arm as a bushed rocker would have. I have come accross another engine this time fitted to a BJ7 that has tha same rocker arms. both cars were used initially for racing and the part number cast on the rocker arm itself is AEC 2005, they are also cast MOWOG which kind of proves they were BMC items. Does anyone know where these originated from?
  Merry Christmas everyone

FWIW, I bought a refillable spray can from Harbor freight a while back.  No
financial interest nor do I know if they still have them.

Hello gang, I am ready to install my interior. My MGA has always cooked my
little smokies(toes) and I don't want to have the same problem with my Healey
100-4.
I picked a roll of Fiberfax, the ceramic/fiber airplane cockpit insulation and
i also have a roll of Dynamat
I am the king of overkill , I know it! Why have one when you can have 2 for
twice the price.
I am not putting down tar paper, I don't participate in concourses.
The question is should I put them both down and if I do , should I glue in the
fiberfax them lay over the dynamat or glue it on as well.
None of this will be seen with my Wilton wool carpet over it but I don't want
the carpet to shift around either -
I know insulation is a bit of a tired subject on the list but, when you're
doing it for the first time, It's all new to you -Thanks for any advice
-William

The item is called a "Rechargable Aerosol Spray Can".
There is no manufacturers info on box or product,
however... If you google the name of this thing you
will find it available from a number of sources.

Hey William,

     First off didn't some type of underlayment felt come with your carpet 
set?    In some areas  in our cars  Less is More.    If you layer the floors 
and other misc. panels too much then the fitment becomes a problem.    The 
trany tunnel won't lay down right,   the seats won't move back and forth 
properly,  etc.
      Sounds to me like you have the non adhesive type of Dynamat which is 
different than the Dynamat Extreme ( foil backed, tarry stuff)  that is self 
adhesive and only about an eighth of an inch thick so it fits fairly well 
under other underlayment.
      I'm not familiar with the Fiberfax material but would venture to say 
that using ONE of your products would  do the job.   If you pile stuff up 
too much it would be like driving around in a pillow on wheels,  however 
that would be perfect for most of our wives I'm sure.

Mark

Hi Gary--
 
Well, as Dave Barry says:  "I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!"  I was  shown this 
trick when I was a young kid hanging around the shop of an old  geezer mechanic.  
He simply said that the knot "cancelled" the EMI  (electromotive interference) 
and it did work, at least on my car, a TR3.   Now this was for an AM radio 
and back then (1958 or so) ignition wires  were, I am sure, solid copper.  
Perhaps resistor wires would do  as good or better job but Dan said he did not want 
to use them.
 
You're not the only Doubting Thomas in the group and subsequent to my post  I 
did a bit of google searching for anything online about this.  Go  to 
_http://www.overclockers.com/tips1132/index03.asp_ 
(http://www.overclockers.com/tips1132/index03.asp)   and  scroll down till you find the following:
 
 
"Al Smith aka oldbrave says:   
"This is not A NEW IDEA!  
In 1956 and 1957, Ford Motor Co. used this very simple solution  on the coil 
wire of the Thunderbird to greatly reduce EMI to the radio and it  had no 
apparent effect on the operation of the Ignition system! As a matter of  fact, 
it's something that knowledgeable collectors look for in the  identification of 
original and/or properly restored cars!"  
Twisting wires cancels or reduces magnetic interference--for example the  
positive and negative wires running to DC compass lights on boats are  always to 
be twisted so that they will not induce a magnetic effect on the  compass card 
when the circuit is energized. 
That's about all I can tell you--perhaps Dan will share with us how it worked 
 out for him. 
Best--Michael Oritt

Doesn't the BJ8 electric tach require a loop in the wire for it to work 
correctly?  If so, the overhand knot seems to make sense.

Hello,

I have just joined the group, as I managed to find my BN2 after 1/2 year
search... The Healey is still on the way (as a matter of fact it hasn't left
the docks of New Jersey..) I should be able to take a look at it in person
at the end of January. I live in southern Poland.  I also have a Volvo 1800S
which I restored to show standard..

The Healy is originally from Florida, basically a 2 owner car, supposedly in
very good state.. Hopefully. :-)

I have been reading the list archives a little and found them very
interesting!.. I have tons of questions in my head, but I still know too
little to make sure I know what to ask.

So, anyway, (as you can imagine) I am very excited to get my new Healey and
will have questions soon... :-)

They still carry them. I use them all the time for all sorts of

Hello Tadek;  
   
  Seasons Greetings and Welcome to the Healey World.  You will find this list to be of tremendous help and an excellent resource.  Once you get your new toy in hand, be sure to update the BN1/BN2 Registrar, Rich Chrysler, with your information. [ 735 Glancaster Rd. RR#1, Mt Hope, Ontario  LOR1WO,  Canada;    1-905-679-4179    richchrysler at quickclic.net ]   
   
  Your Volvo 1800S is also a fun toy.  One of my passions is for the 1800ES estate.  At present, a 1969 Volvo 122S and 1982 240 are on hand along with two Austin Healeys, a '60 MkI BN7 restoration project and a '62 MkII BT7 Tricarb.
   
  Your car's trip from Florida through New Jersey to Poland will be a story in itself.  The attachment is a little something for under your Christmas tree that may help with the wait until late January.  Enjoy!!

Great thanks for the welcome!...

I had about 10 emails form members welcoming me to the group - thanks!..

There are not too many Healeys in Poland - I know there are a few 3000, one
of them featured in an article I scanned here
 http://picasaweb.google.pl/Volvo1800S/HealeyAutomobilista102004
- it's in Polish but might be fun to see press in one of those small
countries like Poland..

Once again, Thanks for the welcome,

Tadek

Well, forgive my curiosity, but I have to ask: what is the survival rate of
the 100, 100/6 and the 3000? How many are there still around?

I searched through the archives but not found any clue..

Congratulations.  I hope it is everything you expect it to be. 

I bought my '56 100 in 1974. It was an "almost" runner that needed to be
restored.  Here it is 33 years later (my God, has it been *that* long?),
and it still needs to be restored. :)

> Hello Tadeusz
There is a common thread between Healeys and Volvo.
Did you know that the Jensen car company completely assembled the Austin 
Healeys except for fitting the motor,gearbox and diff. They were delivered with 
soft top and side screens, two high on the back of trucks to the MG assembly 
line for final installation.
In the early days of the Volvo P.1800 coupe these were assembled by Jensen also.
So you have two cars made by the same people supplied with parts from the 
different parent companies.

Czesc Tadek,

Welcome to the list and congratulations on an excellent choice. I bought my 
BN2 exactly one year ago and wished I had done it 20 yrs ago.

You will find great people here to help with any questions and do get in 
touch with Rich Chrysler.He keeps the 100 register, knows everything about 
1004s and is always ready to help...

I would love to see some photos when you get it.

Wesolych Swiat!

Tadek -

Dobre Dien!  Ako Sa Mas?

Greetings from Hong Kong!

My wife is Slovak from a small eastern town called Snina, about 10 km from
the Polish border!  So this must be pretty close to where you are if you are
somewhere around Krakow.

Anyway welcome to the list!  I get to Slovakia probably once a year so maybe
I can see your Healey sometime when I am there.

Have a look at my cars:

Well, Tadek, the only way to have any clue about how many cars survive is to
count as many of them as possible.  That is the primary task of the various
model registries.  The accuracy of the estimate depends on how many are
"captured" in each registry, and that depends on how active the registrar is
in trying to identify them using all available resources, and how helpful
the owners are in contributing the identity of their cars to a central
database.

Enjoy your Healey, and contact Rich Chrysler with the details of the car:

G'day Tadek

Greetings from Sydney, Australia and welcome.

While we laud the capacity of the Jensen Brothers to assemble the
Austin-Healey we sometimes forget how disappointed Volvo was with the
British company during the assembly of the early P1800. So disappointed
with the finish quality that Volvo cancelled the contract and continued
construction in Sweden.

It has always made me think that perhaps BMC quality control was of a
lower standard than Volvo.

Tadek -

My rough rule of thumb after owning Healeys for about 20 years, my guess is
somehwere around 30 -  40% of all healeys ever made are probably still
around.  That means there are probably around 20,000 of all types somewhere
in the world.  Obviously, the older they get the less there will be,
although the Austin Healey 100 itself was recognised by many as an instant
classic so there may be more of these than you think.

Ken 
    I can probably put you in touch with his son Bill.  I worked with him in the early seventies and see him often at vintage car events.  In the seventies he had an early 100 with alloy doors, hood and trunk lid. (first 50 cars?)  Now he has a Cobra 289 and races it on occasion.  I think I have his phone number around somewhere.

minimum orders of three (I didn't get far enough to ask how much; must do that 
tomorrow). So if you could find someone else who wanted the paint in your area, 
you could split up an order.

I heard somewhere that Moss figures there are 50,000 Healeys out there somewhere.  I think that includes possibles still in waiting as well as runners all models.  Does that sound like a reasonable number?

OK old chap.   I've been reading your helpful  additions to the List for 
years and understand most of what you say in the Ausie language.   But for 
the life of me I can not figure the   "Hoo  Roo"   out.

Ray,

Would it be possible?

According to The AH Restorer's guide by A.D. Clausager:

100 BN1:		10030
100 BN2:		 4604
100/6 BN4:		 4241
100/6 BN6:		 4150
3000 BN7 Mk I:	 2825
3000 BT7 Mk I:	10825
3000 BN7 Mk II:	  335
3000 BT7 Mk II:	 5096
3000 BJ7 Mk II:	 6113
3000 BJ8 Mk III:	17712
=======================
TOTAL:		65951

This would mean a survival rate of 75%....

I thought the rate would be in the 30% region..

And when you read the Jensen books, one finds out how dissapointed
Jensen was with the Volvo supplied tooling and that Volvo wouldn't pay
for the hand finishing required to make the bodies look halfway decent.

G'day Tadek

Greetings from Sydney, Australia and welcome.

While we laud the capacity of the Jensen Brothers to assemble the
Austin-Healey we sometimes forget how disappointed Volvo was with the
British company during the assembly of the early P1800. So disappointed
with the finish quality that Volvo cancelled the contract and continued
construction in Sweden.

It has always made me think that perhaps BMC quality control was of a
lower standard than Volvo.

I don't know if that would prove much. There are active contributors who no
longer own a Healey and there are a lot of lurkers who own one or more as
well as those who do not own. There are several hundred members but only
about 50 regular contributors.

I did mine with a deep socket.

However, be warned, each side of the "nipple" has a rubber gasket that stops
the leaking.....you will destroy this gasket when you take the "nipple" off.
They must be replaced with a brake fluid resistant material.  I made mine
with some old tire tube....but took me a few times to get it right.

Ken:
I just did this job and you need a deep socket to take out the middle
reservoir inside the center tube inside the reservoir first.  From memory I
think it was 13/16.  After removing that, the second reservoir bolt and nut
comes off with the same tool setup.  The real trick is replacing the rubber
washer inside and brass washer outside(or possibly aluminum).  You can get
new brass washers from British Parts Specialists but will have to go to Home
Depot or in my area Menards for the rubber gaskets to seal inside the
chamber.  There are rubber backed washers from Fastenal I tried that did not
look like they would work well so I went with the original metal washers and
fit the Menards rubber washers under them.

I am looking for anyone who has a stencil that I can borrow that can be used
to spray on "BRAKE" and "CLUTCH" in white Helvetica block capital lettering
1/8 high on the sides of the reservoir.  If anyone on the list has one I can
borrow it would be most appreciated.
Dan

Any tips on taking the nipples out of the can so that I can clean and
repaint? The nipple in the center tube is turning and I don't have
sockets that fit down the tube.

Message-ID: <0B88281C9591904D9B35C6EB66E8A80D1095C4@SACMX1.aerojet.gencorp.local>

I thought that the last 100S listed as Lost in North America on the
Register might have a Steve McQueen connection. Alas, not to be. 100S
Serial number 3508 is in Ohio needing an engine and restoration. I was
contacted by the owner a couple of weeks ago. No McQueen connection.
In the December issue of Octane Magazine, there is an article on Steve
McQueen's cars, listing a 1956 Austin Healey. The article is in
conjuction with the release of a book about his cars. The book was also
on the shelf nearby in the store. The book only lists a Sprite as owned
by McQueen. Does anyone know where McQueen's Sprite is? or is this an
error in that he only raced a Sprite owned by someone else?

If you are using silicon as brake fluid, any tight fitting rubber washer
would do.  My reservoir had steal holding down rubber on the inside and
aluminum on the outside.

I did mine with a deep socket.

However, be warned, each side of the "nipple" has a rubber gasket that stops
the leaking.....you will destroy this gasket when you take the "nipple" off.
They must be replaced with a brake fluid resistant material.  I made mine
with some old tire tube....but took me a few times to get it right.

Hi Ken,

I remember this requiring a thin wall socket. I suggest you take the 
reservoir with you to the tool store to find a socket that will work.

If you are planning to use Dot 3/4 fluid, paint the reservoir with a 
catalyzed paint. Most (if not all) of the rattle can paints will lift 
with exposure to glycol brake fluid. I tested a panel sprayed with PPG 
Acrylic Urethane single stage with Castrol LMA fluid and it had no 
affect on the paint after 3 days.

Cheers,
John

That extremely generous figure sounds more like wishful thinking of a parts 
supplier. I'd guess more like the 13000 survivors in whatever condition that 
Baird Foster "guesstimated" a couple of years ago. There have simply been 
way too many crashed, parted out for the almighty dollar, and simply used 
year round when new, only to rot away in the northern (salt used) regions 
within their first 5 to 8 years.
I personally know of too many cases where 2 or 3 cars were parted out to 
make one roadworthy car.

There were apparently meetings the Healeys had with the Jensen folks 
regarding Jensen's short cuts and cheapening of workmanship creeping into 
the Healey products and how they has to try to keep on top of this 
constantly. Apparently Geoff Healey had notes he kept regarding these 
difficulties.

That means that there should be NO Healeys left as that gives a life of
approximately 31 years before the entire model run dies out.

Painting the brake reservoir lettering with a stencil is far too laborious. 
Slightly easier is to get a set of rub-on letters in the proper sized "medium 
helvetica" in white from any good art supply store, cut out the ones you need 
and position them on scotch-tape, then rub them onto   the can. 
A few years ago someone had made up some rub-on sets that had the right 
words, but I don't remember who that was or if they're still available.

Hi Ken,

The bracket anchoring the cannister to the vertical upright is painted body 
coloour but the surround strap is black.

Lower radiator brackets are black.

Cross brace is body colour as per the rest of the chasis assembly but the 
front sides of the X brace (seen through the grille on a sunny day) is hand 
brushed flat black.

G'day Ken

I have just reviewed the new publication on Steve McQueen's cars. It's
called McQueen's Machines and it's a good book.

However there is no mention of him ever owning a 100S or any other big
Austin-Healey. However it does go into the Sprite he ran for the DHMC.

I thought that the last 100S listed as Lost in North America on the
Register might have a Steve McQueen connection. Alas, not to be. 100S
Serial number 3508 is in Ohio needing an engine and restoration. I was
contacted by the owner a couple of weeks ago. No McQueen connection.
In the December issue of Octane Magazine, there is an article on Steve
McQueen's cars, listing a 1956 Austin Healey. The article is in
conjuction with the release of a book about his cars. The book was also
on the shelf nearby in the store. The book only lists a Sprite as owned
by McQueen. Does anyone know where McQueen's Sprite is? or is this an
error in that he only raced a Sprite owned by someone else?

 Donald Healey was an wise man with wide experience in the fields of 
engineering,manufacturing,promotion and all cultivated to service his personal 
desire to compete.

Promotion was one of his best talents. Ask yourself how a small 
British 'garagista' (Enzo Ferrari's description of the English motor racing 
fraternity) was so successful as a pimple on the side of BMC and its subsquent 
derivitatives. It came to an end when BMC proposed to attach the Healey to the 
in production but not yet released MGB GT. I am told his response was something 
to the effect of "no bloody way!"
Donald was held in high regard within motor racing because of his driving 
results and achievements with cars entered into erly post war endurance racing.

He was quick to use celebrity identities as drivers of his reliable cars. eg. 
McQueen,Stirling Moss,Bruce McLaren and US drivers most likely drivers familiar 
to the the East Coast distribution network and therefore likely to be 
influencial to potential buyers of British sports cars and so influence buyers 
to Healeys. I suggest the US East Coast distributors paid or part paid for 
drivers,garaging,local transport and mechanics. There seems that part of the 
racing/promotion system had a pre-arranged sale of the works car to recover 
costs. Usually there were two car entries with a proven known quantity British 
driving team. It is well known that Healeys did not always pick the fastest 
driver but the ones disciplined enough to go the distance with good average 
speed.

Sometime in the last five years I recall reading a suggestion to deal  
with the
difficulty of accessing that awkward third bolt on the right hand  
fender. As I
recall, the person offered that if you place the fender nut on the  
shroud rather
than the fender at that location, you can put that bolt in from the  
fender side
rather than having to reach around the cooling hose on the engine side.

I am going to be mounting my front shroud and fenders this weekend and
wondered about the suggestion. Does the idea work?

Wisdom from the list?

Thanks.

leave the blower motor unattached so you can move it around a bit to get to
the area your speaking.   Install the blower screws later.

Lin,
That may have been me. While assembling my BJ8 five years ago, it became 
apparent that those fasteners were going to be a real pain. I welded a 
short length of steel strap to the bolts and inserted them in the fender 
flange. May have taped them in place (don't recall). Once the fender was 
in place I carefully installed washers and nuts. I did not have to try 
to hold the bolt with a wrench since the strap prevented it from turning 
while tightening the nuts. Worked like a charm and it is completely 
hidden. Would I do it again? Absolutely! There are a multitude of 
knuckle busting, nearly impossible, swear word producing  tasks and this 
was was one of them.

Sebring 1966 the two cars raced in orange and then used at LeMans in 
1966. HNX456D was then rebuilt and used at Sebring and LeMans in 1967. 
This car was continually upgraded to 5-speed gearbox and cross flow head 
with Lucas fuel injection

Lin,
That's what I did with my restoration and there was no problem getting to it.
The fender beading tabs are a different story however, you just have to bend
them over the best way you can in those areas.  I was careful to write down
how each attachment was oriented before removal and that one was reversed from
all the others on both sides with the clip on the shroud and the bolt head on
the wheel well side.  I am pretty sure that my left fender had never been
removed since birth, the right one had been removed after the first owner had
a little meeting with a snow bank (if they only knew!!).

Take care,

George

Does any one have some idea about a maroon color for a Healey 100-6, I
think I'd like to paint 
my car a maroon color with tan interior when I get to that point.  I
assume tan is not common, 
special order for the carpets and panels??  I see Heritage has a
biscuit.  I like the 1967 corvette maroon...
Or the classic Healey blue to-tone with navy or French blue.  Any one
have any pics of a maroon Healey
with tan inside??

You might check out Doug Tolbert's BJ7, which won an award at conclave 
this year, as well as at the event
at the BMW plant in Carolina, and the Waynesboro, VA show.  A very 
pretty color, if not original.

Thanks Gary.  That is exactly what I will do.  If anyone has those sets I
would definitely be interested.  I will call around and see if any of my

Painting the brake reservoir lettering with a stencil is far too laborious. 
Slightly easier is to get a set of rub-on letters in the proper sized
"medium 
helvetica" in white from any good art supply store, cut out the ones you
need 
and position them on scotch-tape, then rub them onto   the can. 
A few years ago someone had made up some rub-on sets that had the right 
words, but I don't remember who that was or if they're still available.
Cheers

Regarding the hand brushed black on the X brace, should it be applied with the left hand or the right?

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night...

Hi Ken,

The bracket anchoring the cannister to the vertical upright is painted body 
coloour but the surround strap is black.

Lower radiator brackets are black.

Cross brace is body colour as per the rest of the chasis assembly but the 
front sides of the X brace (seen through the grille on a sunny day) is hand 
brushed flat black.

    We have a very low mileage, all original BN7 in the shop at the moment, 
and the cross brace in front of the radiator, is painted black on both 
sides.  Definatly done with a brush and not very precise either.

You beat me to it John.
A few of us Brits were at Vermont for Conclave this year and all agreed that
the BJ7 of DougT was a superb colourway. It had a very solid look that was
in harmony with the period.  More modern Burgundy type colours can look out
of place on the classic Coker lines.

See it here.........
http://www.nfahc.co.uk/dougtbj7.jpg

It got the Brit vote.

=todd,
one of the most striking non original color combinations i ever saw was on a 100-6 many years ago in indiana.  it was a burgundy over dove gray with a dove gray interior with burgundy piping.  i can't remember what color the carpet was, however, either color would look great.

For an almost "perfect" answer, see "Feldman's Fleet" in "Big Healeys" in
"Special Cars & Special People" at www.justbrits.com   !!!

I do not re-call the interior but it IS one of the most beautiful
colours/paint job I have EVER seen.  Gary did it himself.  At nite it looks
like a huge Bing Cherry!!!  Even tho technically speaking it is "red"<G> and
is quite similar to the late '50s 'Vette(s) "maroon"!!  When I (if ever) get
around to doing my car it WILL be that colour!!

Happy Holidays to all !!

As I recall, it also had "stone guards" on it's headlights.  Beautiful,

The Jaguar  Regency Red is of the era and has no metal flake in it.
If you can find a picture of an XKE in an old magazine in a dark red
(maroon)  ,  that would be  Regency Red.

I used maroon and tan on my MGA which I fussed over forever.  Finally 
decided on the paint color.   I try to ignore the metal flake when the sun 
hits it now.  It looks the nicest in the evening when the sun is low.

I wanted to use the Regency Red but at the time single stage paint was all I 
could find in that color and my painter was much more knowledgeable on 
Base/clear coats and I couldn't beat his price.   So the metallic maroon 
was picked.   Looks nice but better if it was Reg. Red.

I used Moss tan leather seats and am very happy with the choice.

Too right John we keep you all involved but the next cupla days will be
busy.

Brucer) are ready for to pull the sleigh across the Great South Land.

I'll have to clear the Koalas and Wombats off Bondi Beach for Santa to have

Message-ID: <ff59076c0712220500n6720e2bfs105a9fc9fccfc287@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All -

 My mechanic has got my engine apart.  If you recall the engine had a bent
push rod, and we just decided to get the head off and check stuff while we
were at it.

We pulled the pistons to check the bore and all looks pretty good except #4
had a broken compression ring (no scoring on the cylinder).  The cylinder
bores all look very good with no scratches or scoring.  The bore
measurements appear pretty much standard except for #4 which is about 15
thou over.  See the table below.  The Standard bore measurment for the motor
is 3.4375".   All the pistons weigh and measure well so I will reuse them.

My question is with #4 a little over, can I just hone the cylinders and buy
a set of standard rings and put them on?  I also assume I want to hone the
bores?

The compression on this engine is only 6.9:1 (standard for the A90) and I
really don't want to bother replacing a bunch of stuff.  The old lady just
toodles about town so a very soft rebuild is all that is necessary.

I don't want to rebore the cylinders as it will be a huge pain for me to
pull the block, and even bigger pain for me to find someone in Hong Kong
that can bore the motor properly.

Standard rings ok??

So far he has been unable to get on the Major Domo site.  So if there is anyone out there who has some names please post it to the list.  It has been my pleasure to have been a member of the AH Club for 27years.  During that time my wife and I have met some great people and have made some long and lasting friendships.  Hats off to a great group of people
If anyone has some tips for the new owner on how to get on the list please post them and I will pass them along.  Thanks again, John Gillespie.  ( BJ ATE )

20 or 30 years ago, Road & Track or Car and Driver did a quickie
restoration of a Healey (100/6? 3000?). They painted it burgundy and
called it the Burgundy Baron.  My purist side said, "NO!", but my
sensible side said, "What a beautiful car." It was stunning with its
chrome 72-spoke wires.

I second Regency Red.  It is basically the same color as Cherry Red (not bing cherry red) as was used on Bugeyes and is the color on my BE. Jaguar used it on XJ6s, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.  It's a very rich, deep red and will look stunning with a biscuit interior.

Howdy all:

I continue to look at a '59 BT7 for sale nearby, and finally checked over and
drove the car yesterday.  Seems rock solid and a very nice driver.  Two things
concern me, and I'd love some advice from the collective:

First, I'm told that the car has a leaky overdrive.  When I drove the car, the
OD worked perfectly.  However, they told me that it does leak enough that
eventually, the OD will stop working properly, but if topped up again, it
works just fine.  Having never removed an OD unit from a Big Healey --- but
knowing where they sit on the drivetrain -- I believe that fixing this is a
huge pain in the neck.  I'd love some thoughts on this.

Second, the car has the first front tube shock conversion I'd ever seen on a
Big Healey.  I didn't get a great look at it, but I'd love some thoughts on
front shock conversions.  The car handled generally as I'd expect a Big Healey
to handle.

Thanks as always!!!

Bill S.

I need some help understanding the details of the wiring harness that feeds

First, I assume the wires are PVC, but I can't figure out if the covering was

I believe that you would be disappointed with the result if you did not 
make a proper job of this. If the engine were mine I would bite the 
bullet and get the engine out. You might unfortunately find more that is 
wrong such as a cracked crank but is better to discover the whole story 
now than wonder how your engine might stand up to continued use.
There must have been a reason for a bent pushrod !

John -

Inspected it all.  The crank is fine and the cam/tappets are fine.  Nothing
is wrong with any of it, and the motor mostly looks to be like
new condition.  Best as we can tell one of the valves stuck for a brief
period causing the bent push rod so we are running the head for a valve job.

Message-ID: <bfa.2cd9cf8.349eab9e@aol.com>

Bill
Depends where the leak is located dictates the difficulty in fixing  it.  In 
the OD there are small o-rings around the operating shaft that are  sometimes 
missing or broken that causes a slow but steady leak. They can usually  be 
repaired with the gearbox/OD in the car. Another leaky location is the large  cap 
over the filter screen.  Usually just a matter of getting the correct  fiber 
washer installed a tightening.  Case leaks in the OD requie removal.  Remember 
that the gearbox shares its oil with the OD so the leak can be a front  seal 
at the input shaft, gearbox drain plug and a few other areas. The shock  
coversions are almost always an improvement. Buy it, you won't be sorry you  
did.... at least not all the time.

Hi Alan
Are you sure he has the dimension right on number 4? That is huge wear, 
more than the first oversize piston in fact! If it is right there must 
be a very big ring groove, ie big step at the top of the bore where the 
rings stopped at top dead centre? Was there? This step should be 
removed, or you run the risk of breaking the new top rings. I would 
recheck first as it doesn't sound right, measure the bore in a few 
different places, at various heights in the bore and at 90 degrees to 
each other to determine diameter and out of round. If it is right I 
think you are wasting your time and money just fitting a set of rings, 
in fact you would want to consider boring and sleeving the engine as the 
iron in number 4 must be as soft as butter.
Not exactly the Christmas present you were hoping for I guess.

Hey Gary.
No stoneguards on it at Conclave.

It would be good to find out what shade that colour is.

That colour looks exactly like what I had on a BJ8 many years ago. It was a 
1968 Triumph colour called "Palladin Red".

Like I said...it was many years ago....

Message-ID: <BAY110-W377CC5CACEF3FA983F596CCD5F0@phx.gbl>

Hey guys,
I was at BCS the other day and David Nock let me check out an unrestored BN1
to see how the Chromed stanchion sits on the fender beading.
I had the front pillar post replaced on my car when we did frame work so I
lost the original holes that one bolts the windshield support stanchion to the
car on both sides.
With the fender beads that I bought and placed between the fenders, they
extend , of course, past the foward footing and go about 1 inch beneath the
stanchion. It looks a little weird, thus I have been wary to drill the holes
and bolt down the Rear stanchions,
I then got a chance to see an unrestored 100-4 with just 18K original miles .
On that gorgeous car, the fender bead stopped just in front and butted up to
the stanchion.
Do I trim my fender bead or do I let it run beneath, what's original?

Hi Gary,

I am also currently assembling a Phase 1 BJ8. These early "behive" style 
glass lens sidelamps seem to have the same harness arrangement as the 
earlier roaadster and BJ7 cars. That is the 3 PVC coated wires come out of 
the back of the lamp boot and are braided together with a thin band of tape 
wrap every 10" or so. The harness tucks back onto the side of the rubber 
boot and is held there with a rubber O ring rolled over the boot body and 
the harness. The harness then goes inboard past the splash shield and up to 
it's respective connectors.

Hey Alan,
Sorry, I wasn't being clear.  Doug's car never has had stone guards.  I was 
referring to the other "burgundy over dove gray with  a dove gray interior 
with burgundy piping" car from many years ago mentioned in Jerry Wall's 
posting.  Doug's car was first shown at Southeastern Classic South Carolina 
at the Brasstown Valley Resort, 2005, I believe.  It is not only a beautiful 
color, it is a near perfect fit and finish.

Jumping in on the color thing, I painted by BJ8 Dodge Viper Red with black
coves.  Very striking and touch up paint is available.  P.S. The ladies at

I second Regency Red.  It is basically the same color as Cherry Red (not
bing cherry red) as was used on Bugeyes and is the color on my BE. Jaguar
used it on XJ6s, so it shouldn't be too hard to find.  It's a very rich,
deep red and will look stunning with a biscuit interior.

If you can find a picture of an XKE in an old magazine in a dark red

William,

Trim the fender bead, but not at the factory rounded end. Take a piece out 
of the portion that will fit under the windscreen "foot". Then the front 
portion will come from the headlamp back under the front of the foot. The 
rear portion will continue from under the foot to just touch the base of the 
windscreen post...do not try to fit it under the post. The raw cut ends will 
be hidden under the "foot".

This picture shows an original undisturbed car.

Mike,

Okay, this is relatively easy to fix. Pop the outer spring clamps off the 
heater assembly to gain access to the fan. Examine the fan blades to see 
exactly where the blade or blades are hitting. It may be as simple as gently 
bending a blade back into alignment. If it's all the blades hitting, and 
they all look even to each other, the fan may have slipped on the shaft. The 
fan is positioned on the motor shaft with a locking collet nut. Ths can be 
easily loosened and the fan adjusted so it will clear everything. Reassemble 
the cover and test for clearance.

Please don't contaminate your Healey with other foreign crap. She won't like 
it at all!

Rich Chrysler

Mike -

The BN1 heaters are pretty bullet proof.  Just pop the cover off and
bend the fan blades back as required.  Did this with my BN1 and took
all of 10 min to fix.

I'm sitting in my favorite cigar store yesterday, enjoying another one of my

a miniature Healey in a finely crafted European wooden box resembling a
humidor. I asked the clerk about it and he tells me that there's a watch that
comes with the model and box. He goes and gets the watch and proceeds to tell
me about it. It's a Frederique Constant FC303 with a Healey ensignia on the
dial and a map of a race course on the back.
  I checked it out on the internet today and this company helps to sponsor 2
races in Europe, one in LeMans and the other in Heidleberg. There is a
separate watch for each course with a limited production of 888 watches per
event.
  The odd thing I noticed was that everything said "Healey" instead of "Austin
Healey". Has anyone heard of these before? They are quite pricey but I have a

I have a small silver metal cannister of Schimmelpenninck "Swing" cigars, made in Holland.  On the back of the cannister is a photo (imbedded in the cannister) of a BJ8 dash and steering wheel with two hands on the wheel.  I've had it for a good while--never opened.  good conversation piece.

Hi Dan,
This company, Frederique Constant, was a sponsor at our  2005 AHCA Conclave 
in Winston-Salem, NC, USA.  They produced a beautiful watch that comes with 
a 1/18 KYOSHO model Austin-Healey Tri-carb with a BRG exterior, Black 
interior and fabulous detail.  The doors, bonnet and boot open, steering 
works, etc.. The entire product was delivered in a beautiful wooden box as 
you describe (but not a humidor).  Their representative was here and was 
most knowledgeable regarding our cars, although I can't recall his name.
Of course, I'm also not reliably sure of my own address!
I am not sure that this is still available, although it was sold for a while 
through the AHCA magazine, Healey Marque.

As I mentioned the other day, Cindy & I received a card from a couple of Big
Healey friends of ours (close to 30 years) that I    KNOW     you will want to
see.
Have been having some health probs so didn't get it up on my site as soon as I
wanted but it is there now.

It is the absolute PERFECT LBC card!!!!!!!

I have nor will have any financial interest.  Am just sharing!!!

Have a very Merry Christmas!!!!!

Folks,

What the size of the eyelets on the rear springs for a AH 100?  The 
bushings from two different sources are 1 inch diameter and the new springs 
are 7/8" inch diameter.  What's it suppose to be?

The 100, 100-6 and early 3000 used the same front shock - 6075.  The later 
cars used 8002.  What are the differences between the shocks?  Did the 
lever arm lengths change?

I hope everyone has a happy Healey holiday.

Listers,
Now that the restoration of my Healey has come to an end after  six years
I'm afraid my activities on this list will be reduced. No more dumb
questions, maybe a Friday Funny now and then, but there  will clearly be
more silence/less noise from this side of the water.
Thanks for all your contributions, thanks for the praise I received now and
then and although my picture site at Picturetrail is closed now I'm busily
working on another one at Picasaweb. Those who still want to see how a
Dutchman transformed a wreck into a driver have to be a little patient.
I wish all my friends on this list a Merry Christmas and a Healeyful New
Year.

Hi all,

I would like to know if all the suspension is painted black on a 67BJ8. Or are
the shocks painted silver. I appreciate any input.

Hi Bill,

The shocks were never painted silver. On a '67 BJ8 the shocks were usually 
bare aluminum bodies with black phosphate arms (dull black). A swipe of 
medium brown and a swipe of ivory white paint (applied with a small brush 
roughly 1/2" wide) was across the top of the shock body at the filler plug 
location. These sloppy paint swipes were paint codes used by Armstrong for 
the BJ8 application.

Bill,

Sorry I didn't answer the rest of your question. Yes, generally speaking the 
balance of the front suspension units of your BJ8 would be a gloss or 
semigloss black with clear zinc fasteners.

Hi Jack,
Happy Holidays! Congrats on your restoration wrap-up. I hope that I am  
not too far behind you. I am in my 6th year also. My wife is now very  
concerned about how I will allocate my "healey-time" in the future.  
Hope you will continue to stay around on the list.

Listers
For Healey content: We are hoping to get in a drive in the 100 sometime  
tomorrow. Weather has been a bit rainy lately but the temp has  been holding in 
the high 70's to lower 80's F. Looking ahead there is  plenty of work to do on 
the BJ8 that will hopefully not turn into a multiyear  restoration, yea right! 
I think it has been sitting in the garage waiting for me  to finish the 
chassis repair on it for four years already.  Of  course the youngest son's Bugeye 
has had the new sills and floor installed for  about six years and still is 
awaiting finish body work and paint. I'm not sure  how the years seem to slip 
away, but they do.  Always seems like we are  busy doing something but when you 
look back there are plenty of overdue tasks to  complete. Maybe its true that 
time goes by more quickly the older you get. Maybe  making the wife happy is 
more important than spending a 1000 hours a year in the  garage. Hmmmm.......
 
Well, to the task for this afternoon:
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from Hawaii. Whether  
you celebrate the 25th in a special way or not we hope that your day is  
productive and you are in good health. All the best.....at least I got one thing  
done today!

The Photo Album has now been restored. I use a program called DAlbum and
some mindless twit apparently constructed a robot to seek out web sites with
that program and change the password for the Administrative functions
dropping in their own photo with a short program that automatically
redirected people to his site. I used a short 5 character Password - all
alphas. It is now 16 characters and uses upper and lower case as well as
symbols all generated by a random character generator. Live and learn!

This jerk hit about 15 web sites that I know of -- there is even a web site
that was set up to track and find the alleged perp. No danger to anyone who
accessed the sites -- just inconvenience.

Anyway, good news is that all is again well.

One has to wonder, was the Jag insured with one of the classic car insurance 
companies? If so, the client simply backs out of the discussion, leaving it to 
Hagerty, or American Classic, or whomever, to go after the $25-$30k or more 
that it will probably cost to put this one right (What does it cost to repair 
the monocoque of an E-Type?). I mean, the Hummer could just as easily have hit 
an Aston or Pooch or whatever. Wonder if the Farmers' agent thinks that this 
is just some old sports car and the owner will be grateful for whatever he can 
get. Remember, you don't pay your insurance fees just to get coverage, you pay 
to get legal support for legitimate claims and to defend you against nasty 
lawyers.

I continue to be amazed by how many things I failed to take adequate photos 
of when I disassembled the car some 25 years ago in preparation for a quick 
restoration!
My BJ8 Phase 1 had some packing shims behind either the brake or the clutch 
master cylinder, but I don't know which. The parts book shows them as being 
available for both. Also, one of my master cylinders had a fixed length pushrod & 
one has an adjustable length pushrod. My guess is the adjustable pushrod was 
for the clutch & the shims went with the brake master cylinder. Can anyone 
point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Gary

Gary,

How fortunate you and I are currently assembling similar cars. That leaves 
these little details still fresh in my mind. I just assembled this stuff 
about 3 weeks ago.

The brake master cylinder is the larger of the two, being a 7/8" bore for 
use with the servo system. It has the adjustable pushrod with the much 
larger and thicker clevis. Both brake and clutch master cylinders will use 
the split shims between the mounting flange and the bulkhead mount 
positions. Be mindful of any wear in the thinner clutch master pushrod 
clevis holes. They may need to be welded up and redrilled for the 5/16" 
clevis pins. Of course the pins can also wear badly.

Merry Christmas

Rich Chrysler

Hey, Happy Christmas to you and I am sure you will be on this list fairly
often.  You should get a blackberry with Gmail access so that you can access
the list when your car has troubles on the road, although seeing what you
did with your car I doubt you'll have much trouble.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!

While we're on the topic, does anyone know for sure what the shims are for?

I'm guessing since the brake cyl has the adjustable shaft, the shims are 
used for setting the height of the clutch pedal?

BTW, y'all have a great Christmas.

At the time that Steve McQueen drove at Sebring in the Sprite, I was just out
of high school and was working on the BMC "yacht" down in West Palm Beach for
Ed Bussey who was the SE distributor for Brit cars.  I vaguely recall the 2
Sprites were "werks" cars as I remember being at his distributorship when they
were delivered. They were not owned by anyone at that time.

Gary,
I had forwarded this to a friend (with a Jag) who sent me the original 
post from the Jag list:

Here is the first post (from the owner):
---------------------------------------------------------------------
About a month ago (Thanksgiving day, actually) I was stopped at a 
red light and an H2 drove right into the back of my car. It was 
100% his fault. He has insurance with State Farm and I have 
insurance from Hagerty. I want the car back in the condition it 
was in before. Some one came to look at the car for Hagerty and 
estimated $12,000. One year ago the car got a new paint job 
(glasorit) and alone was most of his assessment. Then adding in body 
work (welding on the back half of another xke?) and anything 
else... $12,000 seems no where close. As of now, I am going 
through his insurance to resolve this. Are there any steps I must 
take to make sure I don't get screwed? What is the course of 
action to take to get my car back to how it was? 

The link below is a picture of the accident. He was going pretty 
fast. You can see skid marks from my rear tires going back to 
where my car was when stopped at the red light.

Thanks for the help.

It seems he has already done what you suggest.  It is hard to believe that Hagerty is this bad.

Any comments from anyone else?

I don't usually get involved in defending my profession but this calls for 
some response.  It looks to me like that Jag owner needs a "nasty lawyer" to 
fight for him.  I assume that Farmers is the insurer of the Hummer which 
re-ended the Jag.  The Jag owner may need to sue the Hummer driver for the 
accident  to get the full cost of repairs.  Farmers will not roll over and 
give the Jag the true cost of repairs without a fight.   It will take a good 
"nasty lawyer" to win against Farmers in court, or even just negotiating. 
Lawyers are never needed until you need one to fight for you.  Of course, if 
you have a good insurance company like Hagerty, you could ask Hagerty to fix 
the Jag under your collision policy and leave it to Hagerty's lawyers to go 
after the Hummer driver for the subrogation claim.

My understanding has been that Hagerty will pay the actual cost of a repair 
to previous condition up to the agreed value on the policy, and that they will 
allow owners to take the car to an approved shop, have the repair made, and 
then the bill is sent directly to Hagerty.
The two times that I've had damaged repaired under my Hagerty policy, this 
was the way it was handled. The one time that I had what appeared to be a total, 
an estimater looked at the car, determined that to repair it would cost more 
than the agreed value, so they sent me a check for the agreed value, less the 
nominal salvage value of the car.
During the course of this process, from the time I called in to report the 
accident until after it was settled, there was one specific claims person 
assigned to the claim who I talked to.
This is always the problem in second and third hand reports like this. We're 
hearing what someone heard of what someone else heard from some person 
connected with their policy holder and along the way we may not be hearing all the 
facts or hearing them as the original individual did. If I were in his position 
and unhappy with the situation, I'd be talking to someone at Hagerty and 
making sure I understood exactly what was going on and was satisfied with my 
understanding. 
Cheers
Gary

IANAL, nor am I an insurance agent, but... that someone from Hagerty is
probably trying to settle the claim for as little as possible.  

If it were me, I'd have a real body shop, one that specializes in
classic Jaguars, give you an estimate. Make sure they give an estimate
to put it back the way it was. That may include a total repaint of the
entire car, to match the color.  Then give that estimate to Hagerty and
let them deal with Mr. Hummer.

But be ready to put up a fight. Include any documentation you may have
for previous work done to the rear (body work, suspension, fuel tank),
and the costly down-to-bare-metal repaint you just had done. And if they
want to write it off as totaled, show them a list of similar E Type
convertibles that auctioned off for $75,000+. :) (Unless you had an
agreed-value policy.)

Or you can shrug your shoulders, take their first low-ball offer, and
say, "That was easy".

I just spent $21K in painting a healey, granted I went to the painter with the best reputation in the region who specializes in classic restorations, the point is, with the kind of damage evident in the photo, $12K won't go far.  As far a Hagerty goes, with me the jury is out since I've had an extremely hard time establishing an agreed value for my Healey.  My restoration is nearing completion, so I'm going to have a professional appraisal done to submit to Hagerty.  Basically at this time, I've just crossed into six figures in receipts for the restoration (Factory 100M), but Hagerty feels that $60K is a fair value.  From what the rep. assigned to my account has said, this is based on the value of a restored BN2; the fact that it is a Factory 100M is lost on them...so good luck.  It will be interesting for us all to see how this plays out.  My own plans are to drive my car so others can get the enjoyment of seeing it on the road, etc., but if you can't get adequate coverage....just
 look what could happen...

25 years ago and many miles ago when my engine was last out of the car, I
painted the brakelines black. Dumb thing to do. Now that the engine is ready
to go back into the car, I am cleaning things up. I have removed a few of the

Should I use a clear lacquer on the bare metal, or will it yellow?

Ouch!  The rule of thumb is that it is cheaper to buy a restored car than it is
to restore one. (I know, the cow is out of the barn.) I could see how a factory 
100M with $100K in receipts might be worth $75K. :)   Can you buy "agreed value" 
of $75K or $100K?  It will cost more, but then if you need it, it's there when 
some Bozo in his Hummer is distracted by a bimbo walking down the street.

Rich,
Thanks, once again! I sure am glad you are working on a BJ8 Phase 1, too.
It seems to me that the purpose of the shims would be to adjust the "height" 
of the pedal, so an adjustable pushrod & shims seems redundant. However, the 
truth is that I actually have 3 shims, so it would appear that I lost one. I 
will make a new one & put them all on the assumption that the factory wouldn't 
have put them in unless they thought they were necessary.

The brake master cylinder is the larger of the two, being a 7/8" bore for 
use with the servo system. It has the adjustable pushrod with the much 
larger and thicker clevis. Both brake and clutch master cylinders will use 
the split shims between the mounting flange and the bulkhead mount 
positions. Be mindful of any wear in the thinner clutch master pushrod 
clevis holes. They may need to be welded up and redrilled for the 5/16" 
clevis pins. Of course the pins can also wear badly.

Bob,
         I didn't see a response to your shock question.
         There is no external difference between 6075 and 8002. The 
arms, etc. are the same.
         The differences are a subtle valve change.
         There are earlier numbers for earlier 100 cars. They differ 
in body somewhat, but the arms remain the same length.
I hope that helps.

	BATTLE
Message-ID: <2D0989D186D44349BE853EE6CFC87AE60384E654@glitas07.garverinc.local>

Hi All, I'm trying to install new rubber bushings (from Moss) in the
upper trunnions of a friend's 1959 BN6.  They apparently seat properly
in the trunnions.  I mean, the top "flange" underside is flush against
the trunnion face.  The problem is that the tops of the rubbers are
waaaay too thick (over 3/16" total) for everything to go back between
the shock arms.  I can't compress the rubbers because their metal
inserts are full length of the rubbers.  I loosened the bolt thru the
arms but they won't spread enough to help.  Is this normal??  Did the
original rubber bushes have such thick tops??  Are these bad parts??  Do
I need to reduce the rubber top thickness with a fine blade saw??  Are
other bushings available??  It seems like I've seen these bushings that
didn't have a flange...they stood just a bit proud of the trunnion face.
I know it could be very difficult to get the shock arms to relocate on
the cross-shaft, but what else can I do??  Please help...and HAPPY NEW
YEAR!!

Hi Jack,
I may be out of touch with what is currently available but I haven't seen
those upper outer bushes with a flange on them for years. The originals were
actually like that. All the ones I have used for the last 30 years have just
a plain solid tube through the center. I'm wondering if you may have the
incorrect bushes there.
I did a blog piece on nylatron bushes
http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=103
And there is a drawing of the trunnion on the first page. 
I think the important thing is that the steel tube in each bush needs to be
just a little longer than 1/2 the length of the hole in the trunnion.
BTW do be careful with the quality of the bushes that you use; there are
some about which use a split tube in the middle. They don't work well.

I need the cover/lid for the rear float chamber for a HD6 carb.  I'm building
an engine with parts from several dismantled engine, and discovered that the
carbs have 2 front float chamber covers.  The front cover has the number 4260
cast into it.  I'm not sure about the rear, but the rear cover on my

The rear cover has the intake port on the engine side of the cap nut. Does

Message-ID: <ff59076c0712260925x79d7fdekad13dc3424dfce0b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All -

My '52 A90 motor is almost identical to the Healey 100 engine in almost
every respect.  In doing some work on it, I've pulled the head and I was
very dissapointed to find that the Banjo Bolt attachment point on the Rocker
pedestal is completely stripped.  Also, one of the push rods is bent.

Luckily, I have a spare A90 motor, which I figured I can use the spare
rocker arm assembly and a spare push rod.  Nice thinking but, well, the
rocker arm and push rod assemblies are sort of the same, but different.
Have a look here:

http://picasaweb.google.com/Healey.Nut/HealeyNutSCarStuff

My question is, do you think I can just use the whole rocker are assembly
and replace all the push rods with these springy things in my '52 A90?  The
rocker arm with the floating tips is beautifully manufactured and operates
very similarly to a rolling rocker - the tips serve to remove any lateral
stress on the valve itself.  I am inclined to use the whole assembly as
is, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any reason not to use this set
up?  The only downside I can see is the thing looks more difficult to
adjust.

I would really prefer not to have to find a complete rocker somewhere else,
since I already have this perfectly good one, eventhough it's a little
different!

Thoughts?

Hi Alan,
I have found that wherever possible it is better to try to use the original
component. The people who designed and built these engines made changes as
the technology of the day developed but "backward compatibility" was not a
priority and I find that whenever we try something of the like there is some
detail change which causes problems.
I would suggest that you would be better off to swap the positions of 2 of
the pedestals after drilling and tapping one of the plain ones to serve for
the oil supply banjo attachment point. The open hole on one of the other
positions will not cause any problems.
The push rod should be easy enough to carefully straighten.

Message-ID: <d3a.1a82691c.34a3f289@aol.com>

I am thinking about re-grinding my MK1 camshaft to the BJ8 specs when I  
rebuild my engine but I want to keep the rest of the engine as original as  
possible. My questions are as follows.
 
The car is intended for spirited street use.  The MK1 cam is rated at  2700 
rpms for max torque while the BJ8 cam is rated max torque at 3000  rpms.  Will 
there be any significant improvement or decrease in the seat of  the pants 
feel of acceleration?  If there is no apparent difference I may  not bother with 
a new grind.
 
Can the original distributor curve be adjusted or modified to the  newer BJ8 
distributor curve?
 
I intend to keep the 1 3/4 carbs, will the BJ8 cam cause the engine to  
starve for air towards max RPMs?
 
Happy Holidays!
 
Thanks in advance for any input.

Jack,

This is quite a common and normal situation, which I've dealt with many 
times. First loosen off the nut, lock and interconnecting bolt between the 
two shock arms. Then loosen the clamp bolt from the arm to shaft on the one 
side of the shock. Now with a large flat blade screwdriver you don't mind 
abusing, gently tap it into the joint space between the two shock arms where 
the interconnecting bolt passes through. This will open up adequately to 
allow the trunnion rubbers to press in between the arm eyes.A tapered pin is 
handy to centralize the eyes to the trunnion bush holes. Then be sure to 
lubricate the trunnion pin with an antiseize paste and run the pin through. 
Now everything can be run in and tightened up, interconnecting shock arm 
bolt first, remembering to have the 2" spacer under the shock arm to set all 
the trunnion rubbers at their optimum position.

As far a Hagerty goes, with me the jury is out since I've had an extremely hard time establishing an agreed value for my Healey.  My restoration is nearing completion, so I'm going to have a professional appraisal done to submit to Hagerty.  Basically at this time, I've just crossed into six figures in receipts for the restoration (Factory 100M), but Hagerty feels that $60K is a fair value.  From what the rep. assigned to my account has said, this is based on the value of a restored BN2; the fact that it is a Factory 100M is lost on them...so good luck.  It will be interesting for us all to see how this plays out.  My own plans are to drive my car so others can get the enjoyment of seeing it on the road, etc., but if you can't get adequate coverage..

And I have had Hagerty:

1. Once automatically increased the agreed value without me asking.

2. Increased the agreed value another time after I submitted Photos.

3. And this last time a big increase in agreed value after I mentioned that
a similar car was sold for XYZ price at Barrett-Jackson. This time they
didn't ask for a foto array.

Alan, no need for a Blueberry here in continental Europe. I'm a member of
the Dutch Automobile Association who operate a system called Road Patrol.
Irrespective where I am in The Netherlands - when my car breaks down they
will either repair in on the spot,  when possible, or transport my car to a
garage anywhere in Holland. When I'm abroad my car will be towed or trucked
to a nearby garage, and when the time needed for repair exceeds three days
my car will be transported back to The Netherlands. The only thing I need is
a mobile phone. The only time this doesn't work is when the value of the
vehicle just before the accident is less than the transport costs to
Holland. But as the value of my car is recently estimated at just over
60,000 US Dollars I'm not afraid for that to happen....
You see: living in a small country like The Netherlands (West to East:
1.5hrs drive, North to South
3.5 hrs drive) has its advantages!

Okay,
I have the doors, aluminum sills, and the windshield left to put on  
the car. Any preferences on order? Does it make any difference if the  
windshield is before the doors or vice versa? Thanks.

Install the doors first, get them properly aligned, etc. Then install the 
alloy trims and the latches and get everything adjusted. Then install and 
adjust the windscreen while working with the fit and rake of the windscreen 
posts to the sidescreens as they are fitted to the doors. All these parts 
have to work together.

That guy should be thankful that the hummer didn't pop up on top of the car
and kill him.  That's the problem with those hummers, they kill alot of
people in small cars.   That's why I would never buy one, I don't think I
could live with the guilt if I rear ended someone and decapited them.

G'day

I have the book "McQueen's Machines" right next to me while I type this. 

It makes mention and has photos of the Sprites driven by McQueen in the 1962
Sebring 12 hour and the 3 hour race during the proceeding day. The 3-hour
car looks to be a close to standard Mk2 while the Sebring car is a
streamline car. 

In Geoff Healey's book "More Healeys" it states that the DHMC constructed 4
MkII alloy bodies for the 3-hour race and a coupe for the 12 hour. All cars
were owned and entered by the DHMC. In the 3-hour McQueen came in ninth and
retired in the 12 hour with engine problems.

Initially Donald and Geoff Healey were a little dubious about having McQueen
in their team but besides being a very competent driver using him brought
the marque much publicity.

Of course McQueen came in second at Sebring 1970 in a Porsche 908 with his
broken foot heavily bandaged.

I am not about to go through the book again page by page but I cannot find
any reference to a 100S or any other Austin-Healey. About the closest it
gets is a Mini Cooper and Jaguar XKSS.

At the time that Steve McQueen drove at Sebring in the Sprite, I was just
out
of high school and was working on the BMC "yacht" down in West Palm Beach
for
Ed Bussey who was the SE distributor for Brit cars.  I vaguely recall the 2
Sprites were "werks" cars as I remember being at his distributorship when
they
were delivered. They were not owned by anyone at that time.

Don't forget the rubber seal that is between the top front edge of each door 
and the end of the dash and side panel.  It was a real pain to install after 
my doors were on but they need to be installed after everything is painted. 
If your doors are already painted, install the seals before you install the 
doors.

Thanks, Ron! Yes, I am doing that first. Just finished the right hand  
side. Time for lunch and then on the the LH side. Rich Chrysler's  
instructions were VERY helpful.

If I'm following the logic of the assembly order correctly, the doors w/ 
side screens would go on first with scuttle seals attached (after first 
trial fitting the scuttle seals between the dash top pad and shroud), 
then the front shroud (not forgetting the 3M strip caulk where needed), 
then the dash top pad at which point the other ends of the scuttle seals 
would be installed between the dash top pad and the shroud (thanks again 
Rich for the "how to"), then the mirror (and turn buttons/long Tenax 
stud/trim screws with cup washers), then the windshield and finally the 
wings. Do I have the sequence right and have I missed anything?

I found the increased amount of coverage was fairly inexpensive.  For me, it 
was a question of what would make me feel better if the car was totally 
destroyed or stolen.  After putting three years of my labor and lots of 
money into the restoration, I didn't want to feel I got less than it was 
worth or what it would cost me to buy another Healey already restored to the 
same level as mine.  That was my "comfort level" of coverage.

Michael,
Was the 100S written off?  I don't see it in your list of cars below.  
Also, I thought that AHX12 was Blair's car in the beginning.  Am I mixed up?

Dan , et al,

First of all I cannot imagine starting to install any of these items until 
all the outer body panels are completely installed and fitting perfectly. 
That is to say, the shrouds, all 4 fenders, then the doors. The front 
fenders on the 6 cylinder models muct be installed before the doors go on 
because the hinges go partially over the rear mounting flanges of the front 
fenders.

I also cannot figure why the scuttle seals need to be installed before the 
doors. The installation of these scuttle seals is not impaired in any way by 
the doors being in place. In fact they really need to be there as part of 
the fitting and adjusting of the scuttle seals for optimum fit that will not 
cause clearance problems when trying to close the doors. The portion of the 
scuttle seal that fastens to the front fender rear flange only goes down 
past the top of the upper hinge by about 3/4" so must be trimmed so it 
doesnt go further. Also it's outer edge of rubber will need to be trimmed 
back a bit so it doesn't protrude out of the door gap when the door is 
closed.

Now, with all exterior body panels and scuttle seals fitted, I'd suggest 
installing the dash pad next. This must be completely installed ( including 
demister vent strips, dash mirror, turn button fasteners and trim screws) 
before the windscreen assembly is installed so all dash pad screws are 
accessible. Final adjustment of windscreen rake needs to be dealt with along 
with the fitting and adjustment of the sidescreens as they fit onto the 
doors, so all sidesreen leading edge angles and seals fit properly. make 
sure the windscreen post seals and the screen to shroud seal lip are fitted 
properly with the post pad squashing the end of the bottom seal lip. I've 
seen lots of these installed wrong with the bottom lip stopping at the post 
seal bead, allowing a leak. I have had good luck improving the sealing of 
this area by first squeezing automotive dum dum into the area under the post 
pad and all around the post where it passes down through it's mounting slot 
area.

Aaah, one of my FAVORITE subjects, Jim!!

(out of order from original post.)

<<Should I up the coverage?>>

IMHO, yep!!!

Every year (J.C.Taylor) I up the coverage $1000.00 and I do my own work<G>!

<<I have my 66 BJ8 insured for 45K with Hagerty .. Granted I did the wok
myself but it is wonderful .. with a Cape International Hardtop and Heritage
leather interior .. >>

NOW, one of my pet peeves!!

Did you keep a HISTORY with HOURS of your work??  AND assign the current Area
Shop hourly fee?? Bet not.

Folks doing their own car (no matter which LBC) just keep telling me,
"But it's my hobby and my time is FREE."

No it is NOT when it comes to VALUING a given car!!!  If you do NOT have a
record of your time, materials and the job being done you canNOT ask an
Insurance Co. "Just take my word for it."  You HAVE to be able to PROVE a
car's VALUE and ALWAYS the amount of dollars requested (as someone else
mentioned) MUST be equal to the amount required to replace the car exactly as
when theft or damage occurs.  Not doing so leaves you open to going back to
square one!!!!

Hope everybody had a Merry Christmas and will have a Happy, Safe Healeying,
and prosperous New Year!!!

Folks,

When I make a hard left turn, my right rear tire rubs against the bolts 
securing the rebound bumper box (on the inside of the wheel well).   I'm 
running Vredestein Sprint Classic 185/70R15 tires--a bit oversized but 
not outrageous.  Anyway, it appears the rear axle is skewed towards the 
driver's side.

I don't suppose there's any way to adjust the rear axle placement WRT 
the chassis?

I have the same problem. I wonder if the panhard rod could be the culprit. 
When the left spring compresses the rod end swivels in an arc around the 
bracket on the right frame member. Maybe if it were a little longer...

There's no panhard rod on a BJ8, just radius arms...

I suspect your shackle / spring bushes are worn.  Not an easy fix,

I have a possible similar problem with my BT7.

When I make a hard/fast right hand turn (which seems to be describe most
turns I make), it sounds like something is rubbing at the right rear tire
area.  It is clearly a rotating type sound, which goes away once the car is
moving in a straight forward direction again.

I've removed the brake drum and upon inspection every thing seemed to be
fine.
All bearings and bushings related to the rear suspension and axle are new
within 3 years.
The tires are 165, so not oversized at al.  And there are no signs of the
inner tire rubbing on anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
Ron Ray

Message-ID: <477513ED.30102@comcast.net>

Looks like a few other Listers have the same or similar problem, though 
most of the replies were from owners of pre-BJ8 cars with panhard rods.

Alan Seigrist suggested worn U-bolts and/or shackles, which I will check 
ASAP.  But, I wonder why worn shackles and/or U-bolts would manifest the 
rubbing only on hard left cornering--if there was slop in the rear 
suspension, I would think I'd get the rubbing turning both ways.  I'm 
wondering if there is some sort of built-in bias--in both panhard and 
radius arm cars--that causes the rear-end to be either skewed to the 
left or to move leftward more than to the right when cornering (this 
makes sense with panhard rod cars, but not radius arm).  If there was 
such a bias it would probably affect how the car corners--any racers 
noticed this?

Thanks for any and all input.

Gentlemen,

Just a thought...the setup of the diff has always resulted in the rear right 
wheel driving a little "stronger" than the left. Just note how older splined 
hubs will always have much more driving direction wear on the right splines 
than the left splines. Might this be tending to send the axle more to the 
left on a right hand turn, vs. turns going the other way?

Another thought, radial ply tires allow a lot of sidewall roll and flex 
compared to the bias ply tires the car was designed for.

It doesn't make sense to me that the panhard rod and/or the shackles or U 
bolts would have any tendency for enough wear to cause rubbing in one 
direction only, especially on a low mileage restoration..

Please indicate what type of rim (Dayton # or Dunlap) and the type of tires
you are using if you are having problems.  Some of the Dayton tires have
different offsets due to spoke caliper clearance at least on the fronts.
Wider radial tires could compound the problem.

I'm running 15" X 6" Daytons with Vredestein Sprint Classics 185/70R15.  Have no idea what the offset is, but these were the wheels recommended by Bruce Erfer when he owned BWW (he was a Healey, Jag and MGTF owner, and knew his wheels).  

Still, offset or no, why the rubbing on one side only?  Rich's explanation makes (a little) sense, since if the right is the driving wheel would mean left turns could be a little "fiercer" than right.  FWIW, I have no rubbing problems whatsoever with the front wheels.

Bob
A friend had this problem with a BJ8, and cured it by replacing the rear 
springs. I have seen a few of these non panhard rod cars at race days 
with tyre rub marks from the rear tyres. I think it is a pretty common 
problem with wider than standard tyres, on soft springs. A couple of 
late cars that I have checked had less gap on the left side than the right.
Cheers
Larry

Are you sure the sound is coming from the wheel? Could it be that in a right
turn the body is moving to the left a bit and the parking brake cable is
rubbing against the drive shaft. I once had that problem - moved the cable and
the sound went away.

Can anyone tell me what the two brackets on the lower front of the front
shroud look like (the ones that attach the shroud to the brackets on the
chassis rails)? At some time in the past it looks like mine were ripped off
the shroud and rather crudely replaced. A photo that shows their shape and how
they are attached to the shroud would be great.

Rick,
There usually are no brackets between chassis tabs and shroud on the 6 
cylinder cars. They were only on the Hundreds. On the 6 cylinder cars the 
shroud bottom apron flange bolted directly to the chassis tabs.

Your wheel looks like a S1 E-type steering wheel.  Very nice.  Not sure my taste runs that way, however.  I kinda like the original wheels better.  Just my 2c', fwiw.

Similar story here.  I bought a Motolita and was very unhappy with it.  It looked like something knocked out of plywood.  I don't know who makes them for her, but Inan at Healey Surgeons can have a wheel custom made for you in several different types of wood.  I bought the rosewood if I recall correctly.  It is beautiful in my opinion and costs the same as the Motolita.  Inan can send you photos of the various examples.  Good luck.

Lin,

I don't know if the aluminum finisher set on your car is the same as on my bj8
but in order to insert the second tiny screw on the horizontal finisher (the
one that goes into the rocker panel) you must either have a stubby pozidrive
screwdriver or take the door off to get at it.  I'm not sure if even a stubby
will do it, of course as I remember I have my door check assembly attached and
that may be preventing my doors from swinging out enough for clearance.

Just a thought and my experience,

George

Ron - In your case it is a bad panhard rod bushing.

Bob,
 
As best I can eyeball them with a tape measure, the rear bushings in my original (BN1L-156610) rear springs are 1 7/16" OD and 1 1/16" ID, so 3/16" thick.

(Just out of back surgery, so cannot see the front bushings...would expect them to be the same)?

Happy New Year.

Subject: [Healeys] ticking sound right rear wheel
Message-ID: <115494.47944.qm@web53705.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

I have a subtle ticking sound coming from the right rear wheel of my "67 BJ8. the frequency of sound increases with speed and disappears with minimal use of the brake pedal. Didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in checking out the brake drum, pads, etc
  Any ideas?

1. it could be a loose spoke.
2. it could be a front brake pad dragging ( I know you said rear)
3. turn up the radio until it gets louder (my wiefs idea!

I wonder if someone has left out the spacer between the bearing and axle 
inside the rear hub, this would allow the hub and axle to float in and 
out on the bearing and the brake drum rub on the backing plate during 
cornering.

Hi Rich,
 
I would urge you to include such tidbits in the Registry.
 
I know it is tedious, but they fill in three previously unconfirmed body numbers and can be, logically, listed as "presumed written off" or "bits found" until further information may arise.
 
[In a long-running disagreement with John Harper, of the U.K., I believe any scrap of information may (now or in the future) have some value, while John believes we should only record "complete" Registry data].

You are doing the Registry work and you must decide, but I hope you will consider recording "all scraps" of information.

Best Regards and Happy New Year.

G'day Steve

I couldn't agree with you more. I think there is a real need to capture as
much information as we can.

I have details of over 1,370 Healeys and Austin-Healeys known to exist in
Australia. I also have details of 52 "unknown" Austin-Healeys that I know
were sold here new but have not surfaced over the last 30 years.

It's a real thrill when one of the "unknowns" is moved over to the "known"
list.

Or it could be that there is a lack of lubricant / grease on the taper  at 
the hub extension / wire wheel interface. That problem makes a wide range of  
sounds from ticks/clicks to grinding sounds. Suspect it depends on the amount of 
 play in the hub splines.

I must take issue with you on this. I have never said that I do not 
collect and record this sort of information. The issue was that I don't 
see much value in publishing this on our UK WEB site when there is much 
more useful information to add when time and effort allows. As you know 
I most likely publish at this time more 100 register information than 
anybody else does.

I would like to bring your attention to a special exercise that went on 
recently. A regular contributor to this list had some old cockpit trim 
with body number and was keen to have it returned to its original car. I 
tracked down the owner in the States where I had an address but no email 
address. As a member of the AHCA I was able to look up an email address 
and contacted the current owner. I did not pass on the owner information 
but invited him to contact the enthusiast with the trim.

What happened - nothing. The current owner did not want the old trim 
because it was in a poor state.

 From this you can see that I do keep all records and do follow things up 
but at the same time I do not see this sort of information being more 
important than other Register information that I am working on.

Please believe me; no information is ignored or discarded.

Regards

I'm still looking for a good Big Healey -- must be a solid, rust free,

concours but not really dirty under the bonnet.

Not looking for a Mk II (prices getting too high) or a BJ7 or BJ8 (already
have a BJ8 trailer queen).   Also looking to spend less than $30k.  Not
looking to restore.  Thanks and Happy New Year!

I am replacing a headlight,GE 6012-SAE H62.  These are the only markings on
the light.  NAPA has a Wagner 6014 12V 60/50W as a replacement.  The
counterman suggested I check the wattage of the old light prior to hooking in
the new Wagner light since there is no  wattage noted on the old GE light.
Can anyone help on this?Will the new Wagner light be okay?

The 6014 should be O.K.  According to this site, the 6014 replaces the 6012.

Subject: [Healeys] headlight

I am replacing a headlight,GE 6012-SAE H62.  These are the only markings on
the light.  NAPA has a Wagner 6014 12V 60/50W as a replacement.  The
counterman suggested I check the wattage of the old light prior to hooking
in
the new Wagner light since there is no  wattage noted on the old GE light.
Can anyone help on this?Will the new Wagner light be okay?

Subject: [Healeys] 1956 BN2 distributor question
Message-ID: <148319.61843.qm@web50410.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

First of all Best Whishes to all.

My 1956 BN2 restoration is slowly progressing as money
and time allows. I have a (detail) question for which
I find no answer in the archives.

My march 56 BN2 # 231391 came with an extra part ie. a
BN1 engine in parts and boxes.  As a result I have 2
distibutors, marked 40320E and 40320F.  Based on my
search in the archives the 40320A is the BN1 type
distributor. (not sure what the E and F stand for,
maybe later replacement distributors)  The one marked
"E" seems to be within spec with 0.007" endplay and no
lateral play, could probably use a new washer between
body/drive dog.  Not the exactly the 40495 distributor
I see listed in the archives as correct for BN2 but ok
to use I guess.

I also have 2 breaker plates (unmarked) and vacuums 
one stamped 420006 with 90 degree post advance
(7-18-12) correct for BN1 but broken/repairable and 1
stamped 421947 (7-18-12) working with a coil/spring
type connection.

I sourced later BN2 (post 230361) pertronix kit and
they match this second plate perfectly.  In fact they
don't match the other plate (with 90 degree post).  My
question is if this second type plate with coil type
vacuum connection is the one for the later BN2. (my
current assumption)

Cheers and Happy Healey-days.

Message-ID: <d53.1f526a04.34a833f7@aol.com>

As many of you know by now, Dana McPeek recently passed away.

Both his Jensen GT and Jensen Healey are now for sale.

The GT has been upgraded with a 2.2 cam and Dellorto Carbs. It is in good 
condition with a few minor problems that can be easily repaired.

The JH runs very well.

His wife would like $12,000 US for both cars as a package deal (or best 
offer). She will split the cars if necessary.

Additional information and photos are available for both cars at the 
following web sites.

http://home.earthlink.net/~jensenhealey/id12.html

The GT was previously put on EBAY with a high bid of $8,000 US. He did not 
sell at that price, but any reasonable offer will now be considered.

If interested, Please contact me for any additional information.

Message-ID: <f24a28bfa25daa2e5a.20071229160319.eeratvarre@www.dslextreme.com>

I recently bought an aluminum gas tank for my BN2 restoration from Jorge
Cevera in Chula Vista near San Diego.  He also sells on Ebay.  I got a
much lower price by picking it up directly from Jorge.  The tank is very
nice and my original gas cap fits perfectly.  My question is about the
plastic "spacer ring" that came with the tank.  It was attached to the
tank by the supplied sending unit mounting screws.  It is a white plastic
ring about 1/8th inch thick and looks like it could be some sort of a
spacer between the tank and the sending unit.  Is this thing necessary?
I have mounted the sending unit without it, but was just wondering what
the heck it was for.

Message-ID: <BAY110-W35168E0CA518FC7E1A546BCF570@phx.gbl>

I have been a long time lurker and benefited greatly from the list wisdom.  I
have a question about the use of foam injection to stiffen the chasis members
by injecting a polyurethane foam into them.  Having seen truck commercials
touting the advantage to filling the frame with foam for sound deadening and
stiffness, it seems an appealing idea for my Healey which could use both.  I
recently saw a reference to an after market kit for that purpose made by
"Foamseal".  Their web site referred to a June 2000 article in Sport Compact
Car Magazine  that described the application of the Foamseal kit to a Nissan
300ZX.  www.sportcompactcarweb.co/projectcars/0006scc_Project_nissan  The
article found that the chassis was stiffened and was positive about the
results.  I would appreciate your opinion on the process.  The kits are
relatively cheap and I would hope that if nothing else filling the voids in
the frame rails and rocker panels would keep out dirt and moisture.

Thomas -

My gut feel says you will get the opposite result with this stuff.  It will
trap moisture in your frame rails which are bare metal on the inside
straight from the factory.  Therefore you need this area to be open so that
water can get out and dryout.  You put foam in there and it will cause your
chassis to rust.  If you are worried about rust, your best bet is to use
Waxoyl or its variants.  If you want to stiffen the chassis buy a race
chassis from Kilmartin.

Hi Tom,

I don't know about the stiffening part.

Just my opinion, but, anything injected into a closed frame member would 
have to make a perfect bond/seal to keep water out. Otherwise, it would 
simply trap water that did get in, next to the metal.

With no filler, the water that does get in has a chance to evaporate & 
dry out between soakings. I think I would rather have the air space for 
evaporation. Some folks inject an oil/wax product into closed frame 
members. Not sure how well it works either.

Regards,
Dave Russell

At the time I seem to recall the Sprites were equipped with Latham
Superchargers.

Even though I worked for BMC at the time for Ed Bussey, (See Gary Anderson's
article on Ed back a year or so ago in the Healey Mag)
my brother worked for Eddie Crawford who drove a Porsche and Jim Kimberly who
had a Ferrari at Sebring. Both were "factory drivers" but brought their own
money to the party. Eddie had his wife's money, Jim was the black sheep of the
Kimberly-Clark family fortune and all three (Bussey, Jim "silver fox" Kimberly
and Eddie) lived within a few blocks or less of each other in Palm Beach.  My
brother and I were fortunate to drive the first of three Porsche 911's in the
country pre Sebring in I think 1963 or 64.  Palm Beach cops caught us speeding
(sliding out of control in fact) and I had to call Eddie to come bail us out
of jail and get his Sebring race car un-impounded.

Those were "the days"...

Gents,

I mistakenly put a couple ounces of brake fluid in the power steering of my 92
Honda Accord about 40 miles ago.  Power steering was a bit noisy for a mile or
so but that is the only difference, so far.  Should I have the power steering
fluid changed?

Thanks in advance!

  Hi Rich,

  I would urge you to include such tidbits in the Registry.

  I know it is tedious, but they fill in three previously unconfirmed body
numbers and can be, logically, listed as "presumed written off" or "bits
found" until further information may arise.

  [In a long-running disagreement with John Harper, of the U.K., I believe any
scrap of information may (now or in the future) have some value, while John
believes we should only record "complete" Registry data].

  You are doing the Registry work and you must decide, but I hope you will
consider recording "all scraps" of information.

  Best Regards and Happy New Year.

Not by now, Alan<G>!!

I would suspect that as long as he would be dealing with a "dipped" chassis
which ALSO had a couple gallons of the PermaTex product (used to be called
"extend" and is [still] mostly Navel Jelly) poured thru and allowed to "cure"
and THEN apple this "foam" and as long as said foam is NON-porous that it
might be of value.

Message-ID: <BAY110-W281B3FFFB3EC92A15CE7E8CD570@phx.gbl>

Hey Guys, I would like to know
1. The gap/break for the trunk seal where the ends meet ... Should it be at
the top or the bottom middle? It comes too long so of course I will cut it.

2. There are two holes in the rear shroud for the license plate bracket, but
where does the wiring for the license plate light pass through. Is there a
third hole?

3.The tough one... The chrome stanchions that support the folding windshield
are held to the body by two bolts that pass through the lower half of the
foot. There is a a third hole closer to the top (but still below the shroud)
that is threaded.
Does the bolt pass from within the cockpit to thread into the stanchion and
what purpose does it serve?

4. I replaced my inner wheel arch on the rear drivers side so,  inside the
trunk, where exactly should the 2 holes be drilled that are used to bolt off
the trunk support. Are they on the wheel arch itself or on the box next to it.
Anyone have a picture?
Thanks for any help -William Berg '54 BN1

Hi, sorry for this.

Having overcome the death of my last PC by subtling beating the problem to
death with my cheque book, I am now attempting to get back to where I was.

My data files were tolerably well backed up so losses there are bearable and
perhaps can be fixed. See below. BUT..

1)       On the previous setup, my "User account" was password protected.
Now, when I access my old/original hard disc in my new PC, I can access my
wife's data, but not mine. It simply says, "Access denied", but gives me no
means of applying a password. It's like having the key to the door but no
lock to put it in. Somewhere in the old "WINDOWS" directory, now inactive on
the old disc, must be a file that can be deleted/moved/overwritten or
something????? Any ideas...I need to get in to my original directories to
get my Outlook files and My Favourites etcetc.

2)       Easier, I hope! How do I set Outlook, not Outlook Express, to be
permanently connected and alert me whenever it gets a message. I had it like
that before, but now seem unable to achieve this. Somewhere in "Options", I
suppose, is a blindingly obvious choice, but I've missed it so far!

 

Relating to 1), above, I am contemplating disconnecting the new hard disc
and rebooting the PC with the original Windows CD (the one from the original
setup). Perhaps I can get back to the opening screen and thence to "user
accounts" to switch off the password or simply move the data? This sounds
like a fairly dodgy procedure, threatening the new setup by screwing around
with the old?

 

As a warning to all...it seems likely that I bust the old motherboard by
trying to get a new RAM chip in. Seems the board was badly mounted and the
central area, where the RAM was, was unsupported. I couldn't get the RAM to
click in without putting something under the board to push against and feel
that the first attempts may have fractured some connection. Pity, but we
move on! The new, full, board is much better than the old, half, board and
the whole thing runs much better so far.

However, it'll get clogged up sooner or later!

Hi William,
 
Re: your item 4:
 
On BN1L-156610, the trunk lid support strut bolts through the wheel well wall with two 1/4" diameter x 1"(+) hex head bolts (guessing 1-1/4" long), into the trunk.
 
I'm not smart about thread forms, but the heads are in the wheel well, there is a wooden spacer inside the trunk (on top of the carpeting) and the "Z-shaped" bracket is then retained by lock nuts.
 
Attached is first of four annotated photos with "A, B, C" type dimensions. [The photo will be stripped from the list].
 
I'll send the remaining three photos, dimensions and notes to you (only) in three subsequent emails.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
Regards and Happy 2008.
 
Steve

William,

1. The boot lid seal on the Hundred was in two pieces. The joints would be 
mid way up the left and right sides of the lid.

2. There are two holes in the rear shroud to clear 1/4" diameter bolts that 
hold the licence plate bracket. Just up from and slightly to the right is a 
third hole, about 5/8" diameter for the licence lamp wiring to pass through. 
See picture.

3. The easy one...there is a 5/16" bolt that will have it's head inboard, 
passing through a flat washer, through the body hole and any required alloy 
packing shim strips, and going into the threaded hole of the stanchion. It 
is the main fastening point of each stanchion, the two smaller bolts being 
more for adjustment of rake and angle as needed.

4. Steve Mickelson answered this one right on. Here's an additional picture.

Listers,

John Vrugtman is an occasional contrubutor on this list.  Hi John!  He has been working on the resto of a BJ8 Phase 1 for some time now.  It will be an excellent car when finished with several extra tweeks.

The car is one which he bought new circa 1963 in France while in the Army.  He brought it back to the states for a couple years and it has since changed several hands.  Several years ago he was told of a BJ8 for sale locally.  He was unaware at first sight, but realized when iinspecting it that it was his original France car!!!

I hope I have my facts right.

Well the engine is now in it and you can hear it along with John for the first time since 1967.  Go to uTube

Hi Mike,

I've used a few of these tanks with great success and have simply removed 
and discarded the nylon ring. The original style cork sending unit gasket is 
used with a smear of Hylomar applied to both surfaces and everything 
assembled as per usual.

Make sure the tank fitting is the correct thread. If it's not, Jorge may 
still be using a standard thread same as is used on GM cars. I believe Doug 
Reid (Mr. Finespanner) has sourced out adapters for this.

Rich,

I have over 6000 miles on my car since the restoration was completed, and
the sound is a recent occurrence. So I don't think the inherent "stronger"
right rear drive force or radial tires would be the cause.

With no visible signs of wear on anything under the rear of the car, I an
not sure what to investigate other than the emergency brake possibility as
suggested by C.Rubino.

Ron

Gentlemen,

Just a thought...the setup of the diff has always resulted in the rear right
wheel driving a little "stronger" than the left. Just note how older splined
hubs will always have much more driving direction wear on the right splines
than the left splines. Might this be tending to send the axle more to the
left on a right hand turn, vs. turns going the other way?

Another thought, radial ply tires allow a lot of sidewall roll and flex
compared to the bias ply tires the car was designed for.

It doesn't make sense to me that the panhard rod and/or the shackles or U
bolts would have any tendency for enough wear to cause rubbing in one
direction only, especially on a low mileage restoration..

Alan,

I have relatively new polyurethane bushings for the pan hard rod.  I will
check them though.
It seems if they were the cause, the noise would occur with either a left
hand or right hand turn, rather than just when I make a fast right hand
turn.

Thanks.

The spacers were installed on both the left and right hand sides, making
sure that the spacer extended clear of the outer face of the hub per the
workshop manual instructions.

I wonder if someone has left out the spacer between the bearing and axle
inside the rear hub, this would allow the hub and axle to float in and
out on the bearing and the brake drum rub on the backing plate during
cornering.

Bob -

If you have 6" rims that could very well be the problem.  Even with your
standard 72 spoke 5.5" rims and 18570R15s you will only have a marginal
amount of clearance in the rear wheel well.  The fact that you've gone to 6"
rims could very well be the straw that breaks the camel's back and causes
your tires to rub.  If there's no damage to your tire's sidewalls, I'd
accept it for what it is and live with it... or get 5.5" rims.  The 6" rims
give you no added benefit if you are running 18570R15 tires - in fact you
would be better off with 5.5" rims in that case.  With 6" rims you should go
to 205-60R15s.

Hi, sorry for this.

Having overcome the death of my last PC by subtling beating the problem to
death with my cheque book, I am now attempting to get back to where I was.

My data files were tolerably well backed up so losses there are bearable and
perhaps can be fixed. See below. BUT..

1)       On the previous setup, my "User account" was password protected.
Now, when I access my old/original hard disc in my new PC, I can access my
wife's data, but not mine. It simply says, "Access denied", but gives me no
means of applying a password. It's like having the key to the door but no
lock to put it in. Somewhere in the old "WINDOWS" directory, now inactive on
the old disc, must be a file that can be deleted/moved/overwritten or
something????? Any ideas...I need to get in to my original directories to
get my Outlook files and My Favourites etcetc.

2)       Easier, I hope! How do I set Outlook, not Outlook Express, to be
permanently connected and alert me whenever it gets a message. I had it like
that before, but now seem unable to achieve this. Somewhere in "Options", I
suppose, is a blindingly obvious choice, but I've missed it so far!

 

Relating to 1), above, I am contemplating disconnecting the new hard disc
and rebooting the PC with the original Windows CD (the one from the original
setup). Perhaps I can get back to the opening screen and thence to "user
accounts" to switch off the password or simply move the data? This sounds
like a fairly dodgy procedure, threatening the new setup by screwing around
with the old?

 

As a warning to all...it seems likely that I bust the old motherboard by
trying to get a new RAM chip in. Seems the board was badly mounted and the
central area, where the RAM was, was unsupported. I couldn't get the RAM to
click in without putting something under the board to push against and feel
that the first attempts may have fractured some connection. Pity, but we
move on! The new, full, board is much better than the old, half, board and
the whole thing runs much better so far.

However, it'll get clogged up sooner or later!

Subject: [Healeys] Proper starting procedure for a BJ8
Message-ID: <973702.63379.qm@web54502.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

I am having a hard time trying to get my Healey to
start after a two month slumber. It cranks, there is
spark, and I can smell the gas but it just doesn't
want to start. My procedure is to pull the choke all
the way out (regardless of ambient temperature), turn
key and let the fuel pump run for about 30 seconds
before cranking. Yesterday I tried to get it started
and after half an hour I gave up. I tried last week
and after half an hour gave up.
Could the carburetor needle valves be sticking and
preventing gas from flowing into the intake? I
replaced the needle valve with Gross Jets a few years
ago because the needele valves would stick open.
 Thanks
Jorge

Jorge -

Smelling for gas is not good enough.  If one of your float chamber jets are
stuck then you will only have fuel in one carb - not enough to start the
motor.

Pop the tops off the carb float chambers (easiest to pull them both off at
the same time) and make sure they are full of gas.  If one is empty, then
you know your problem.

Jorge, you may have a carb sticking problem, but with Grose Jets I doubt it.  It isn't clear to me from your statement whether you still have the Grose Jets installed, but if you don't you may have a stuck needle.  You could try rapping on the float bowl lid with the handle of a screwdriver to unstick the needle (do it without a float bowl full of gas).  
Starting fluid is pretty cheap and available at your local auto parts house.  Get a spray can of that and give each carb a two or three second shot after letting the float bowls fill in your normal way, then try to start the car with the choke out.  
This is my normal way of starting my BJ8 during cool weather when it hasn't been started in several days.  It has always required that, both before and after my professional (Joe Curto) carburetor rebuild.  I have Grose Jets installed.

Jorge,

BJ8's are notorious for needing lots of choke to start from cold. Settings 
you can get away with in warmer weather will not be nearly enough in cold 
weather.
I would recommend removing the upper suction chambers and pistons so you can 
observe two things.
1. are the jets actually dropping adequately to allow a very rich mixture 
for cold starting, and
2. as you suspect, is there fuel getting there from possibly sticking float 
needle/seat assemblies.

Are you using fresh gas. If it is old, that could be your problem. You can
also use Starting Fluid (very sparingly) after you crank it up several times

Jorge,

The 'let the fuel pump run for about 30 seconds' and 'smelling gas' 
makes me think you have bad float, needle stuck open (due to crud) or 
too much fuel pressure problem. Does the fuel pump keep clicking during 
the 30 second time period? Once the fuel bowls fill up the clicking 
should stop with the motor off.

Cheers,
John

I can attest to the fact that Grose jets DO in fact stick. When I attempted
to start my car after a long layover (two years) gas poured out of the float
bowls down the overflow pipes. I popped them open and both Grose jets were
stuck. Replaced with regular jets that I had in my miscellaneous drawer and
problem solved.

Jorge, you may have a carb sticking problem, but with Grose Jets I doubt it.
It isn't clear to me from your statement whether you still have the Grose
Jets installed, but if you don't you may have a stuck needle.  You could try
rapping on the float bowl lid with the handle of a screwdriver to unstick
the needle (do it without a float bowl full of gas).
Starting fluid is pretty cheap and available at your local auto parts house.
Get a spray can of that and give each carb a two or three second shot after
letting the float bowls fill in your normal way, then try to start the car
with the choke out.
This is my normal way of starting my BJ8 during cool weather when it hasn't
been started in several days.  It has always required that, both before and

Yep, grose jets do stick closed.  The old grose jets I bought 15 years ago
work like a charm.  The new ones I bought about 5 years ago are worthless.
Had to remove them after about the 5th time breaking down on the road.

May be a function of your email provider or program as it is just the text
box that normally appears at the end of the emails received from the list.
Perhaps Ed Kaler can shed some light as he uses the same Mailman program (I
believe) for some of his email lists.

Hi Michael
Is it practical for you to ship the fenders to Australia
I know freight is costly & packing a pain .
I have recently shipped 2 x fuel tanks & a shroud so
I am aware of costs. With 3 cars to restore I require
many other items that you may be able to supply to
justify shipping costs. ie. bumpers,rear guard etc.

For ref. my Ebay ID. is ktee20

Hi listers .....

Today's list email has suddenly appeared mostly in the inbox, and not
in the spam box of yahoo.

No idea why - but welcome.

Maybe that Yahoo guy that works for them fixed it - anybody else seen
an abrupt change in the inbox/spam ration today?

Robert.
All the best for 2008 ....
