Alan,

I assume that you're referring to britishtool.com. I'm guessing that Robb 
is now just selling his tools on ebay, seller britishtool.

I agree on the tinyurl, but his link opened for me.  tinyurl is for links that are VERY long or wrap around.

Ed, we're really happy that you know how to use Tiny URLs, whatever they are. 
I still use "Cut and Paste" -- a technology that has served me well since 
1983 -- to insert the actual url into my Firefox request bar since I make it a 
hard and fast rule never, ever, to click on a link in an email or use a link 
that I can't read directly. TinyURLs are just another lazy short-cut that makes 
one vulnerable to linking into a website that looks and acts like the real 
thing, but is, in fact, a cybertrap.
Cutting and pasting his url as listed worked just fine for me... Maybe you 
should examine your connection between your e-mail server and Firefox.
Just my two cents.
Gary

I don't understand why people put up with email agents that break long  
links.  Alternatives exist that don't muck them up.

It must be easier for some to continue using the same crappy email  
software instead of spending a little effort fixing the cause that  
creates a problem for everyone else.

Bill,

Just to help with translation: This tool works with a 1" ratchet and they
recommend to order a converter for 3/4" too.

No financial interest or any other connection (did not even know this
company before these postings).

Kind regards

  I have to agree with Gary on the use of Tiny Urls.

  I work as Director of technology for an Internet lead generation firm, and firms like this are attaching little tracking cookies to your browser to feed back information to others on your internet visiting patterns.

  It helps marketing groups figure out what makes you tick and what sites would be best places to place their ads and what best junk mail or pop up windows to send you.

  I'm not saying that tinyurl is doing this or something else to you and yours, but talking from experience, it' and unsavory other things aren't that tough to do at a site redirector such as them.

Sorry Gary.  Simply not true.  Some urls are VERY long and some wrap around three times.  To cut and paste these is useless as they "usually" won't open.  the tinyurl is easy to do and saves the receiver of a link a lot of pain trying to open a very long link.

You can write your emails with html and write your own tiny URL

[url=http://longlinkstuffhere]tiny url[/url]

               Life is too short to get paranoid, but you need to be aware.  With today's technology, if you are not using one of the top security software, I could, without you knowing drop a piece of code ithru a web window with you never being the wiser that could:

.  track all your keystrokes, and send them back top me giving me access to bank accounts, passwords and everything else you've done today.
.  take over your computer and run an illegal business (happened at a company I worked at)
.  start broadcasting spam emails without you knowing till you get all the complaints and your ISP shuts your account off as a known spammer


I could go on and on about this stuff and what's possible, but let's just say that the security software like Norton, Mcafee etc does a good job of catching most of this nasty stuff, but it needs to be running and kept up to date.

BTW, Google's new browser is a great product.  Don't shy away from it because it's from Google...

I am sorry that I have caused such a problem on the list.  The email I
forward was just to give most of the members of the list a look at areas or
buildings that brought back good memories from a much earlier time.  This
website had postcard images for many areas across the USA.  It certainly
brought back good memories for me.

Absolutely nothing to be sorry for.  I enjoyed the nostalga!  Even sent it on to some other friends.

  I have to agree with Gary on the use of Tiny Urls.

  I work as Director of technology for an Internet lead generation firm, and
firms like this are attaching little tracking cookies to your browser to
feed back information to others on your internet visiting patterns.

  It helps marketing groups figure out what makes you tick and what sites
would be best places to place their ads and what best junk mail or pop up
windows to send you.

  I'm not saying that tinyurl is doing this or something else to you and
yours, but talking from experience, it' and unsavory other things aren't
that tough to do at a site redirector such as them.

My lighter is located at the lower right of the left dash panel where, I
think most BJ8s have the choke. My choke is located in the center panel
centered between the heater contols and the switches. I never knew that this
was not a standard arrangement until Steve (I beleive) pointed it out to me.
That explains why there is that dull zinc washer is beneath the choke knob
and why the choke cable that I ordered was soo long.

In my BJ8 the lower right has the WW push button.  Above it--top right--is the choke.

Rinus -

Cigar lighters were mostly installed by dealers, so whatever cigar
lighters they sold they installed them wherever they felt like.

For BJ8s in California,  I was once told by my old mechanic that they
were installed on the part of the centre console just under the radio
past the bend, so that the lighter faced straight up.

In my case,  I didn't want to drill anything so I just got one with a
little bracket and mounted it under the dash right next to the centre
console, using one of the centre console fixing screws that was
already there..

I am looking for an alternative to the wood wrench M*** sells that just
comes apart after a few whacks.  I see that some use a rubber hammer filled
with beads to remove spin offs which does scuff of dent the chrome.  Does
the monster hammer work on just octagonals or is it for spin offs as well
and how well can you control the tightness?

Who has cup washers that are about .285 OD? The Moss ones are too big at
about .350. They look goofy.

By typing M*** do you mean MOSS? Why not just say it?

I am looking for an alternative to the wood wrench M*** sells that just
comes apart after a few whacks.  I see that some use a rubber hammer filled
with beads to remove spin offs which does scuff of dent the chrome.  Does
the monster hammer work on just octagonals or is it for spin offs as well
and how well can you control the tightness?

Why not use a scrap piece of 2 x 4 against the knockoff ear, and hit that
with the hammer instead of hitting the knockoff directly?  That way you
won't beat up the lead hammer, either.  I've been doing this since 1990 and
don't have any marks on either the knockoffs or the hammer.
Lately, I've been using a piece of oak instead of a pine 2 x 4 and avoiding
the need to replace the pine frequently.  I keep the oak in the same bag as
the jack and hammer.

Works for me, and I've never had a knockoff loosen while driving, much less
come off.

I did the same but now I use a thing shaped like the one Moss etc sell. I
just made it out of better wood. I used 2 or 3 layers of WBP (marine) ply
which I laminated together then cut to shape. Looks OK(ish) but works fine
and it's just bits of scrap.

 Gentlemen,

 I don't know why you fellows are all using these different wierd and
 wonderful things to loosen and tighten your knockoffs. I have a 2 lb. Thor
 copper/hide hammer I've been using for years around the shop, but using 
ONLY
 the hide end on the knockoff ears. The hammer has the mass and therefore 
the
 dead weight clout to do the job properly. The hide end eventually mushrooms
 out to the point where it needs to be replaced. That has averaged about one
 new one every 15 years or so, not a bad investment for a $35 tool. Of 
course
 the copper end is also very useful around the shop, being able to again
utilize its heavy dead blow weight to drift punches, chisels and the like.

Rich,
Thanks, I will check Heritage out.
Actually, I am using them on the Jensen Interceptor with original #4
screws so big Moss ones really look goofy. I had a package of the
correct ones that had a sticker that said "made in Australia". I think a
friend hand carried them here from Oz in the early 90's.

you guys are worrying too much about the scratches - do the way Donald 
Healey expected you to do it - get the copper hammer and wail on the 
knock-offs until they come un-done, then wail on them the other way until 
they are tight.  After 48 years my BT7 has satisfying flat spots on the ears 
showing that it has been done right all that time.

Unfortunately I found that the hide end dried out and disintegrated after 
only a year or so.

Maybe its the dry climate here in Perth.

G'day

I don't know if Donald expected you to do anything with knock-off
hammers or even with a tool in hand.

Remember the first Healey 100 had solid wheels, not wire wheels. It was
BMC that decided to fit the new Austin-Healey 100 with wire wheels.

My car has been fitted with steel wheels since new as it has sedan
suspension and brakes.

Fellow Healeyoids,
I have been having a hell of a time trying to get my rubber seal installed
from the bottom of the windshield to the body on my 63 BJ7.  Mind you, I
have three different windshield frames that I have tried.  As well as three
different seal suppliers.  They are Moss, AH Spares and Healey Surgeons.
Moss seemed to be the closest fit.  I read in the archives the Healey
Surgeons is the best but I disagree thus far.  
I have tried to "pull" it through after judiciously lubricating the channel
as well as the seal and tried three different lubes in three long different
attempts.  Windex, silicone seal and lithium spray grease. 
I have also tried to wedge it in just a little at a time with a thin
screwdriver.  This worked better than "pulling" the pig-bitch seal through.
I have also tried to razor cut a small portion (1/16th ") off of the "T" in
the rubber seal to no avail.  It then would not stay put.
 
As far as difficulty of operations is concerned, I put the rubber vent seals
in and it took about 10 minutes.  That was super easy.  This is one for the
hardest things that I have done on a frame up restoration. Harder than
getting the door gaps to look good.  

I have two Healey buddies coming up this weekend and I will again attempt
this futile endeavor with them.  That is, if we can find a sober enough
moment.  My buddy is turning 50.  Anyway,  I'm looking for a detailed
description of how to perform this seemingly impossible task without
seriously maiming or killing anyone.  Any and all advice is much
appreciated.  Thanks in advance!

Hi Randy,

When I did my BT7, I lightly lubricated the seal with WD-40 and pulled it 
through.  When I got about halfway, I had to sort of push-pull the thing a 
bit at a time, but it was relatively easy.  Mine was supplied by Bob Yule at 
the Healey AutoFarm.  Could the channel in the windscreen be crimped 
anywhere?  Sounds unlikely. My only issue was getting the lip to lie flat 
against the shroud when the windscreen was installed - I still have one 
little hump that I caress down flat whenever I pass by the car!

Good luck with it.

In other words you REALLY do NOT wish to become a permanent "guest" of the

My FIVE (5) decades PLUS worth of (even JUST) LBC "advice" is take the
'assembly' & "...rubber seal" (installed from the bottom of the windshield
to the body) the whole mess to a glass shop (along with a Gift Certificate
from a NEARBY liquor store for a CASE or 2 of Wisconsin's
Finest Brew) and let them charge you $25 - $35 (and say a SERIOUS 'Thank
You' 'mantra' to the Car Gods) !!

Just ask "When should I come back to pick-up?" and LEAVE!!!

Randy:

You are quite right - it's one of the ugliest jobs on a convertible Healey. 
No great mysteries - best bet is to feed it into the groove rather than 
wedge it in with a screwdriver.  Too much chance of damaging the rubber.

Sometimes you can 'tweak' the lead-in to the groove sligtly to avoid snags. 
And make sure that the corner bracket screw heads are not too high.  Here, 
we do it with 3 strong guys (and a lot of beer) pushing and pulling.  Like 
Marek, we have had good success with WD40 as a lube, but you need to keep 
the whole channel continuously wet as you go.  And of course your hands get 
the stuff on them, which is lots of fun!

It's simply a lot of scut work, but the key (for me at least) is enough 
help.  FWIW, we have been using seals from AH Spares for the last few years, 
and once installed, they seem to work as well as any.

On the other hand, you could do what Ed suggests, but then the guys at the 
auto glass shop would get to drink the beer instead of you and your buddies. 
Your call.

Randy,

I just installed the bottom seal onto a Phase 1 BJ8 assembly and it went 
quite well. It is identical to your BJ7 seal arrangement. Unfortunarely the 
BT7 roadster seal Mirek was describing is a totally different animal.
Anyway, I had the distinct advantage of having the old intact seal sitting 
on the bench in front of me. I was able to note that the ends have been 
trimmed back at about a shallow 30 degree angle to the T edges, leaving a 
length of the front flat flap extending beyond the ends of the windscreen 
posts by about another 4". These 4" flat flap ends will be tucked around the 
end of the windscreen post when installed on the car and will be trapped and 
held there by the windscreen post to front fender seal.
I began by using a bit of liquid soap and starting one end of the T portion 
into the slot about 5" from the extreme end, the forward edge of the T going 
into the slot first, and carefully pushing the rear edge of the T ino the 
slot with a blunt (so it won't cut the rubber) flat blade screwdriver. I 
worked about 4 or 5 inches of the T into the slot and then slid it down to 
the extent of the channel. With the 30 degree angle cut already done, the 
end of the T will slide along and butt into the post section. Then it was a 
case of lubricating and working the rest of the seal into the slot. At about 
12" from the other end I stopped, checked and trimmed the other end for 
final length and angle, then worked that end into the channel about 5" away 
from the end as I had done at the first end. With a few inches of it 
installed, it was slid down to the end, leaving the last few inches in 
between to be carefully slotted home.
You should be left with two flat end flaps and the complete seal in the T 
channel.

Hope this helps.

One thing to check before you start trying to install that seal is that the
channel has not been damaged anywhere along its length. It is often
difficult to tell that it has been crushed at some point.
I ground the head of a large flat head nail so that it would just fit into
the groove and tap this along the entire length of the groove before
starting to install the seal.

The only thing  can add is that the best lubricant I have found for the job 
is straight glycerin that you can but at your local drugstore. It works far 
better than anything else I have tried in forty years of fooling around with

That device keeps your engine and gearbox from surging forward under
hard braking or going down steep hills.  It is very important to keep
this maintained (don't ask how I know this!).

Do not put any forward or reverse pressure on this when tightening, as
it can crack you OD over time - just a gentle  slightly firm
compression of the bushes on the frame, even front and back, is ideal.

Subject: [Healeys] Sad News - John Downing Passed
Message-ID: <01A8362B7A2241C987F2138D62C16B7D@TRACY>

>From the Downing Family





It is with deep sadness in our hearts that we let you know that our father
passed away tonight with us by his side.  This last week we had a home
filled with dear family and friends.  We spent many moments reminiscing with
smiles, hugs and laughter.  John told each of us how much we were loved and
that he was not in pain.  We are at peace because John is now at peace.  Mom
says there is another star in the sky tonight, and this is so very true.



You are welcome to join us at our home on Saturday, December 6th anytime
between 11am-2pm at 354 Brookwood Drive, Downingtown, PA, to share memories
and joy.



In lieu of flowers, we ask that you extend a random act of kindness to those
in need.  John's natural demeanor has always been just that.  Whether to
shovel your neighbors sidewalk, give last years gently worn coat to someone
without, or deliver your favorite home-cooked meal to another.  KINDNESS -
pass it on.



Thank you all for your love and friendship,

Sharon, Tonya and Nina





John was a long time Healey Enthusiast.  John was a volunteer and active in
many clubs.  John regularly did such things as bring all the extra Healey
and car magazines to veteran's hospitals.



He will be sorely missed.

Hi, all!
I watched the movie "The Racers" last night, having just bought it on Ebay.
It features a Healey 100 in the very early scenes, and stars Kirk Douglas.
Years ago, I bought (also on Ebay), a photo of Kirk Douglas taking delivery of
his new Austin-Healey 100 in July 1955.
Does anyone know if there is a connection between the two? Did he fall in love
with the Healey while shooting the movie, and then go buy one?
Thanks for your thoughts.

Bill

I can see the pics, he certainly seems to have the description right, 
metallic green paint, 16" wheels (didn't the very first cars have 16s) all 
aluminum body.  Anyway, the paint is basically stripped, he said he steam 
cleaned it, which, too bad,  although hard to say because haven't seen it, 
but I would rather see old and scruffy original on a historic car like this 
than nw shiny paint with no history and war wounds.  The car appears very 
complete and unrestored, has the waterfall grill, not the oval like the S 
grill.  Shows the plate NOJ391.

I am ready to snap it up at the current price!

It's still possible that this car is the real one. many parts were  
swapped around, right? SPecially after a truck accident at/near Le

This guy has the original log book and chassis numbers, etc.

I do remember reading articles about at least one other NOJ391 that  
Geoff Healey looked at. There was a lot of missing stuff from that car.

There are not three as you suggest. The car that FOurintune discovered to
be NOJ391 is the Fred Hunter car that is now owned by Craig and Shari
Hillinger.
But that does not explain the two that seem to exist.
Bob




Oh, I
should have remembered, so do we have three of them?

If the ebay car has the bill of sale, chassis number, log books and  
original body work, etc. I'd believe it to be more car than what  
fourintune put together from scraps.

SPL 224B is definitely the right chassis number for NOJ 391 as a
"Special test car" see : http://www.acmefluid.com.au/larry/AHX14.html

Rick,
I believe Fourintune had a complete car and both Geoff Healey and Roger
Menadue inspected it determining it to be NOJ391. A replica was built  but
that car is definitely advertised as a replica and the original complete Fred
Hunter car is now owned by the Hillingers. 
If the auction ended so early
maybe there is something not right about that car.

 




If the ebay car has
the bill of sale, chassis number, log books and  
original body work, etc. I'd
believe it to be more car than what  
fourintune put together from scraps.

If I remember correctly, the original Fred Hunter car was authenticated by
Geoff and Roger. Fred made the decision to have it restored as an "S" rather
than the prototype. There is an article by Kay Kovacs (or maybe Tom) on this
car and the sunsequent building of the replica prototype by Tom.

Although everything else seems right about this car, these were finished in 
the light metallic green paint, and I thought they were all trimmed in dark 
green. This one clearly shows a period original red/orange interior. 
Hmmmm.....

Although it's an easy disclaimer of responsibility:

"The interior trim is red, but there are remains of green trim on the
doors under the door trimming panels and I have also with the car a
complete set of original green trim and carpets (in slightly
contrasting shades) wrapped up in an old cloth sack. Im not sure
which the car originally came with  but again this is sold with the
car."

Gordon Wilkins driving NOJ 391 back to the chateau from scrutineering
was hit by a vehicle driven by a drunken French peasant. Wilkinss
wife, a passenger in the car suffered severe damage to her mouth.
Luckily Stirling Mosss father, an excellent dentist, was also at Le
Mans and he carried out some brilliant repair work. NOJ 391 was
seriously damaged and required a complete rebuild in time for
practice; this was not helped when all the teams mechanics were
struck down with a severe gastric complaint due to a combination of
French food and Napoleonic sanitation.

This car was already cleared through scrutineering and the story goes
that major bits were transfered to another car with official seals in
place.

Randy,This is for sure a frustrating job indeed.  Although I only have one bj8
that I totally restored I have experienced installing this seal at least 4
times on it before the job was completed.  I, like Rich, took 4-5 inch
sections and pushed them into the slot, then moved on to another section
starting at one end and continuing all the way around.  I then trimmed as Rich
described leaving tails to be tucked around and underneath the wings.  They
sit up there without any adhesive except for the door molding (draft
excluders). Here's my method:  Tuck one side of the T strip into the track,
then use a window glass tool (the one with a rounded smooth end and a wedge
looking sharper other end) to press the other side into the track, use the
sharp end to do this.  You will notice that one edge goes in easier than the
other edge on the straight areas.  You sometimes have to give the gasket a
little stretch to thin out the T as you push it in with the sharp end of the
glass tool.   When you get to the curves you have to reverse your tactic and
tuck the opposite edge into the track first, then press the other side in with
the glass tool.  You have to pinch the gasket in your fingers and angle it to
get the first side started and hold it like that to expose the T while you
press the other side in.  It only takes me about 10 minutes to do this now by
myself.  Lubricant helps it go in easy but it also pops out easy when you
don't want it to.  If the ends come out during the placement on the scuttle
you have to take the windshield frame off the scuttle and just lightly stretch
the gasket and tuck it back where it belongs.  If you get it in place and let
it set overnight before installing to the car it will conform better and maybe
not come out as easy.  Take care, George Haywood'65 bj8 (Restored with 10K
miles my first year) Can you tell I love driving it??  > From:

First of all, thanks to all whom replied, especially those who took out the
time to write such lengthy descriptions like Rich and George.  Anyway, I got
the seal in.  Lots of soapy water.  Lots of cussing too.  It was actually
too slippery at the end and the ends of the seal kept coming out through the
curve, especially when it kept going over the little cut-out for the screw.
I used a heat gun which helped to mold it in and evaporate the water and
soap solution.  I hope that it stays in tonight.
 
It seems like there are multiple ways of accomplishing the task and everyone
sues slightly different techniques and tools. 

My question is what to do with the extra rubber at the ends.  I didn't quite
understand from the descriptions of what to do with the extra.
Should I nip it off flush with the edge of the frame so that the outside
chrome posts but up against the ends or fold it under and install the four
screws and tighten the outside post down on the rubber seal?
Thanks again!

The Hunter car is unrestored--left exactly as it was following its last SCCA race.  100S configuration.  On display at Healey Werks (Sioux City).  It's a cool car in its current condition.

Has anyone tried to contact the seller and go and see this car which is 
supposedly somewhere in Lancashire .
The e-bay sellers name was  tallulahandtessand he also has a "Rocca" violin 
for sale which if original , should sell for at least what a concours BJ8 is 
worth.

Mitch,
I visited them about two months ago and bought some parts there. I know the
guys for a long time, about 20 years. They were in the business with another
main supplier for Healey parts and split from them to offer parts with
superior quality. That's a hard job, and I can only say they are successful in
some way. They still wash with water, to say. I bought their new fender spears
and they are the best you can get now. They are pressed not casted, but you
cannot see and they are of highest "flatness", no waves and imperfections in
the chrome. I also bought the front screen channel rubber for the roadsters,
as the one from other suppliers is far away from original staff - too thick
and not soft enough. Theirs is also not like you could get 20 years ago, but
superior to stuff from other suppliers here in Europe.
I have no financial interest, just a satisfied customer.

Hi,
I think Josef is too polite to say that they used to work for SC Parts and
left them after SC were taken over and started, it is alleged, to cut the
odd corner with their quality! I've found them to be very good, helpful and
knowledgeable. They even sent me a part (of an oil filter adaptor) free
once! "We've got some lying around in a drawer in the office...you can have
on."
They're located just around the corner from SC!
Simon.

This Operation are among the best!!
http://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk
The four people that make up the Business are all ex-AHSpares who got
mightily ticked off at the poor quality and poor service that AHSpares had
gradually deteriorated to.  They departed AH over a year ago and have
already established a good name for themselves as true enthusiasts offering
good quality and excellent service.

No vested interest but I know Keith and Marc and can vouch for integrity,
enthusiasm and commitment to the marquee.  I always go there first.

My question is what to do with the extra rubber at the ends.  I didn't quite
understand from the descriptions of what to do with the extra.
Should I nip it off flush with the edge of the frame so that the outside
chrome posts but up against the ends or fold it under and install the four
screws and tighten the outside post down on the rubber seal?
Thanks again!

---------

Randy, 

Here's a picture showing how to trim the rubber seal (remove everything above and to the right of the red line). 

http://www.loftusdesign.net/bottom_seal_cut.jpg

Then after installing the windshield assembly to the shroud, the extra trim drops into the wing/door gap and then is stuffed forward into a small opening at the very top inside surface of the wing. At least that's where I stuffed mine to keep it from being loose every time the door is opened.

That might be difficult to follow so if you open the left door, look/feel above the top hinge to the very top right corner of the panel and you should find a gap between the inner wing and the vertical panel. Voila.

Cheers,
John

(of course, if the experts say something different, I'm all ears :)

>From an old letters column:

Quite some time ago, before fiberglass tops for sports cars had been
developed, a friend of mine built one for his Jaguar XK-120, which later
proved to be the pattern for the others that followed. Just after he
fixed it to his car he drove to Long Beach for a business appointment.
On the way he was stopped for a red light and a somewhat antiquated
American car with and equally antiquated driver pulled up along side.
The old duffer in the Detroit iron surveyed the car and asked, "Build it
yourself?"  Thinking the question was directed at the fiberglass top, my
friend answered, "Why, yes, I did." Whereupon this old fellow said,
"Well, next time you build a car, it will come out a lot better and only
take you half the time."

Nearly all my fasteners come from www.mcmaster.com
Stainless- Grade 8- Zinc- fine thread, etc. I just ordered stainless
2-56 and 4-40 nuts, next day, here they are.
A great web site, delivery is next day if you order by 5:00 P.M. I have
company credit there. Price is OK, but such a great web site, for me.
They have never back ordered any item I ever ordered.
I assume they take credit cards.

A Friday Funnies from Bob Regan
 
Why Parents  Drink   

The boss wondered why  one of his most valued employees was absent one day   
but had not phoned in  sick . Needing to have an urgent problem with one of 
the main computers  resolved, he dialled the employee's home phone number and 
was greeted with a  child's whisper. ' Hello ? '

'Is your daddy home?'  he asked.

' Yes ,' whispered the small  voice. 
May I talk with  him?' 

The child whispered,  ' No .'

Surprised and wanting  to talk with an adult, the boss asked, 'Is your Mummy 
there?'  ' Yes '

'May I talk with her?'  Again the small voice whispered, ' No '

Hoping there was  somebody with whom he could leave a message, the boss 
asked, 'Is anybody else  there?' 

' Yes ,'  whispered the child, ' a  policeman.< SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: 
bold; FONT-SIZE: 36pt;  COLOR: red; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"> 

'

Wondering what a cop  would be doing at his employee's home, the boss asked, 
'May I speak with the  policeman?' 

' No,  he's busy , '  whispered the child.

'Busy doing  what?'

' Talking  to Daddy and Mummy and the Fireman , '  came the whispered answer. 

Growing more worried as  he heard a loud noise in the background through the 
earpiece on the phone, the  boss asked, 'What is that noise?'

' A  helicopter '  answered the whispering voice.

'What is going on  there?' demanded the boss, now truly apprehensive. Again,  
whispering, the child answered, 

' The  search team just landed a helicopter '

Alarmed, concerned and  a little frustrated the boss asked, 'What are they 
searching for?' 

Still whispering, the  young voice replied with a muffled giggle... 

' ME . '

A-Head 4 Healeys are on my list as one of the best supplier of
healey's parts presently , they know what they are talking about.

You can buy  cheap from china but  can't buy knowledge and experience
as these guys have.

Good to know that they will be in Kingston next summer.

Whilst I agree Jim, with your source,
I do DIS-agree with the Grade 8 !!

8 IS brittle to 'shear' and then add SS to the equation ??

NO car of mine (NON-modern crap) nor customers' vehicles will EVER

Considering I will NOT ever/even work on anything NEWER than (damned smog

Okay, I'll rise like a trout to the bait....
I was under the impression that Grade 5 is the normally accepted "automotive 
grade" of fastener, and is adequate for suspension  etc. Meanwhile Grade 8 
is stronger, and is accpted as "aircraft grade". I am not referring to 
anything here having to do with stainless. Stainless is pretty but was never 
used on our cars as far as I'm aware.

All -

"Brittleness in bolts is defined as failure at stresses apparently below the
strength of the bolt material with little or no evidence of plastic
deformation. Typically, fasteners are not brittle below 180 ksi ultimate
tensile strength. Grade 5's have an ultimate tensile strength of 120 ksi and
a grade 8 fastener has an ultimate tensile strength of 150 ksi. This is why
brittle is a relative term. Nearly all fasteners are considered ductile
except some made from PH 15-6 Mo, 17-4 PH and 17-7 PH. "

Generally you can't go wrong with a grade 8, unless it's made in China of
course....

Hello All,



My name is Frank Powell and I just got a 1956 Healey 100 BN2 from my
father. I live in the Sacramento, California area. The car has a Ford
302, AOD automatic, front disc brakes, and an original Healey rear end.
The body is in pretty good shape: 1 rear fender having previously
repaired damage and the trunk lid is rusted along the bottom edge. I
want the car to look mostly stock but I will most likely install newer
seats and possibly a roll bar.



Are there are any completed 100-4 cars in my area that I could look
inspect? My car doesn't have the body on it (I don't have the space to
store it at my house) and I need to know what kind of space limitations
I have for the radiator and roll bar (if I decide to install one).



Thank you,



Frank Powell

Listers,
The persons question, as interpreted by me, was "Where to get Stainless
Bolts and Screws?"
It seems that set off a storm that I MIGHT be recommending stainless or
Grade 8 or that Healeys ORIGINALLY HAD ANY STAINLESS or Grade 8. NEITHER
IS TRUE, (IMHO). I also agree that Stainless is less than grade 5.

I only said where I get my bolts and screws, and that is true,
Mcmaster.com.

We have an account there for my business and have a KEEP FULL program
with Bowman Bolts where they come in every two weeks and replenish our
shelves with bolts, nuts, screws, cleaners, etc. We do use stainless
quite often as we occasionally build medical devices and products for
water and wastewater treatment systems which require stainless. We have
Bowman come in once per year to train our people on the proper use of
fasteners. BTW, if you are not familiar with Bowman, look on the side of
ALL NASCAR Cup cars and the Bowman logo is there. They use Bowmalloy, a
grade 8 +, fastener.

Sorry to bomb, just MHO.

Jim

When I was buying new connecting rod bolts I went to ARP. There was a guy
there that knew I had an Austin Healey just by looking at the bolt.
Considering their focus is racing and aerospace, not a British car supplier,
I was impressed.

Frank, welcome to Healey Land. Are you thinking about returning the  
car to its original drive train or leaving it with the V8 either way  
its great to have another Healey on the road.

  We are a local British car restoration shop and only about 45  
minutes away. We always have several Healey's here that you can come  
by and take a look at any time. We also can supply you with what ever  
parts you may need.

We also have a local Healey Club based out of the Bay Area if you are  
interested the web site for the club is  www.goldengatehealeys.com   
we are having our annual christmas party this Sunday and you are  
welcome to attend. Also this June we are hosting the annual Healey  
Rendezvous Meet in Jackson at the Jackson Rancheria.

Did we get a true size yet?

Frank,
Since you have a Ford 302 in yyour BN2, you should also join the
Modified (Nastyboy) mailing list:  subscribe at yahoogroups.com
This is a group
of folks worldwide concentrates on Healeys similar to yours.

Hello
All,



My name is Frank Powell and I just got a 1956 Healey 100 BN2 from my
father. I live in the Sacramento, California area. The car has a Ford
302, AOD
automatic, front disc brakes, and an original Healey rear end.
The body is in
pretty good shape: 1 rear fender having previously
repaired damage and the
trunk lid is rusted along the bottom edge. I
want the car to look mostly stock
but I will most likely install newer

Just measured 4 camfollowers  recently removed from my daughters ' 63 BJ7.

Bottom of follower - Ave. 0.936"  dia. = 23.77 mms

Top of follower - Ave. 0.935"  dia.  = 23.74 mms

Reason for removal - the engine was emitting quite a loud knocking/clicking
sound from the inner depths directly related to the engine rpm.

Replaced with new cam followers and pushrods, set the tappet clearance to
the factory recommended 0.012" when  the engine was quite hot - problem
solved.

The base of each follower had become fairly well pitted which I believe is
quite common in the 6 cylinder Austin engine.

Regards,

Peter Hunt

Can you please send me all the serial numbers, body and batch numbers, 
engine number, original and present colours inside and out and your personal 
information (address, etc) so I can enter your information onto the Hundred 
Registry? Also include any interesting history or details you may know 
about, including past owners.

Many thanks

that this is not a good idea on any bolt that needs to be tightened to a

Gary, what is really important in a torqued fastener is the tension produced
in the fastener by the torquing process.  Normally nut torque is specified
for "dry" threads.    If a fastener is lubricated and then torqued to a
"dry" specification, it can be overtorqued even to the point of failure
because there is less friction between the lubricated threads to resist the
torquing process.  That is, the tension produced in the fastener will be
higher at the point where the specified torque is reached on the torque
wrench.

If a torque is specified for lubricated threads, it will be stated as such.

Eric and Jim

I double checked my earlier measurement of 23.7mm / 0.933" with a vernier and
took a couple of original followers to work and got 0.93645" using a digital
micrometer, so I guess Peters and mine and the same, and not 1" , if thats
good enough confirmation. (feel free to pop round, I'm just in the uk!)

cheers Andy

Randy,

DON'T TRIM THE TAIL EVEN WITH THE FRAME!!!  Trim it the way John has indicated
in his picture and then follow my pictures to tuck it in under the front wing
and then press the windscreen post molding over the tails.  The molding
pinches the gasket material and holds it in place and the rest of it tucks up
under the wing.  It will shape itself to the underside of the wing and stay
right there.  I hope these pictures will make it clear as to what we are
talking about now.

Take care,

George

Hmmm,   makes me wonder if our heads should be torque dry or lubed?  I have 
never
intentionally dried my nuts or studs off before torquing.   I would bet they 
are more lubed
than dry in this area.  oops!!!

Actually, ARP specifically states that nuts and bolts should be lubed prior
to torquing so that the friction between the nut and bold does not distort
the torque numbers.

At the end of the day, the best way to measure bolt stress is using a
"stretch" technique as it bypasses the friction issue.

Michael,

The Pertronix probably has a "modern" push-in secondary tower 
connector.  You can put a crimp-type connector on the end of your coil 
wire--removing the threaded collar--but if you're using stock stranded 
copper wire cables the connection won't be reliable.  Unfortunately, I 
don't know of a good solution to this problem, and I've looked.

Thanks all for the kind words. I should have mentioned that I joined the Yahoo
Modified Healeys list as well, I just haven't introduced myself there. My
father transferred his subscription of the Wheelspinner to me since I have the
car now. He still owns a '59 BN4 that is basically stock.

I will definitely be visiting Stockton to meet the Nocks in the near future. I
have joined the Sacramento United British Sports Car Club, but will check out
the Golden Gate Club as well.

Since my 1 year old daughter comes first, I expect this to be a long build
process so I won't be driving the car too soon. I will get information to Rich
about me and the car.

   I am finally finishing up the rebuild on my steering boxes.  I had wear in
the upper bushing that is just bored in the aluminum case itself.  My fix was
to bore the full length oversize and use two bronze bushings with the same OD
and different wall thickness to allow for the two shaft sizes.  It worked
great.  Contact me if you are thinking about doing this.  I'll fill you in on
the details.
   It turns out I'm missing a piece.  Does anyone have a "locking plate" for a
BN-2 steering box?  It's the strap that locks the adjusting bolt on the top of
the box. (part #29 in the Moss catalog)  I sure could use some help here.

Yes, I do ground up restorations on BN7 and BT7 Healeys.  After having 3 
chassis painted, I switched to powder coating, and am very satisfied with 
this process.  It is a little less expensive also.  The big expense in 
either process is getting the chassis really clean, but the powder coating 
is less expensive than the painting.

If the cam follower bottoms were pitted, you might like to take a close look

Just measured 4 camfollowers  recently removed from my daughters ' 63 BJ7.

Bottom of follower - Ave. 0.936"  dia. = 23.77 mms

Top of follower - Ave. 0.935"  dia.  = 23.74 mms

Reason for removal - the engine was emitting quite a loud knocking/clicking
sound from the inner depths directly related to the engine rpm.

Replaced with new cam followers and pushrods, set the tappet clearance to
the factory recommended 0.012" when  the engine was quite hot - problem
solved.

The base of each follower had become fairly well pitted which I believe is
quite common in the 6 cylinder Austin engine.

Subject: [Healeys] BN2 tranmission question
Message-ID: <687744.51869.qm@web50409.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi List,

What is the best method to remove the large nut from a 4-speed side-shifter input shaft.  This is for a BN2, I don't want to take any risks here as I believe they are absolutely NLA.  The input shaft is out of the trans.

I believe there is just a bond between the nut and shaft from 52 years of immobility and some oxidation, the shaft was not really rusted, the box was taken out of commission with a broken OD, stored under a workbench here in dry California. The transmission has all signs of low mileage, just a couple nicks on the 1st/reverse (which I'll clean up a bit).

I used heat, PB blaster, WD 40 and I usually repeat this process, coming back to it every couple of days.  I am considering putting the input shaft in the clutch/engine but I don't want to break anything.

I am replacing synchros, needles, thrust washers, layshaft, balls, springs,  etc so I like to replace this (original) bearing as well.

The front bearing surface of the input shaft, which goes into the pilot bearing has no pits or nicks but has some discoloration from oxidation.  A machine shop could turn this to the next available ID of the bushing.  But then this is out of spec, do I just clean this up?

All advice appreciated

Bert

Brad,

There are originally no inserts to go into the frame to hold these 
fasteners. Most of the screws were about a #8 self tapping shank so either 
you have had some previous owner drill things grossly oversize or you may 
have been looking at the set of brake line or fuel line hairpin clip holes 
by mistake.

Brad

As Rich pointed out you are looking at the wrong holes, he outlines the ones
in the sides of the main frame members, you want the holes that are on the
bottom of the frame, the only one you use in the side of the frame (for main
loom) is near the footwell / gearbox, the first on the bottom of the frame is
about level with the front outrigger, 2 more behind this before they use the
rear of the frames centre x member before going upwards behind the rear heel
board, will try and take some pics.

This is what I am going to try;

All the wholes on the inside of the trunk correspond to the wholes underneath.  Instead of rivets, I put in screw, washer, a rubber washer, spacer, another washer then a nut. All of them are at an angle pointing out towards that back end if the car.  I think if I push out the trunk so all the screws are strait down, the trunk lid should fit.   I am also going to bring my trunk lid over to a friends place to see if the trunk curve is starter then it was originally.  

I thought of this after seeing the curve on the back part of the hood was straightened after 20 years of sitting in the rafters. The trunk lid probable did the same thing  

Thanks,

Ron

Hardly off topic... Those Volvo brake parts were what the works team  
used on a few cars, namely the Sebring cars from 1960. DD 300 was one  
of those.

Yes I can correct you. It4s not the type as used on Healeys. The ones
used on Healeys had another design.
They were fitted on cars for the German and Swedish market, commencing
with BT7 I beleive.

Alan,
Nope, this is not the original steering lock mechanism they installed on
German Market 3000s. I do not have a picture, but know as I have installed one
in my Sprite. Sprites had the same as 3000s.

If memory serves me, that is a reverse thread on the input shaft.   However 
I could not
find that in the manual that I have right here.   Stay tuned and some one 
will confirm
this shortly.

If you lock an old clutch disc in a vise and insert the input shaft in the 
hole this should
give you a good leverage opportunity to loosen the nut.

Just clean up the input shaft nose and you should be good to go.

fellow with a BJ8 who had a factory rack but got rid of it because the feet
wore the chrome on his rear bumper and the bolts in the boot lid hinges
enlarged the holes. Has anyone else had similar problems? What has your
experience been? Thanks in advance Rick Swain'59 BN4

It's is not even close Alan. Check your parts book AKD 3523 part #13H 709. A 
friend of mine is restoring a German export car and I was able to find the 
correct lock but it was on ebay under an MG part #.

Don't know if you can find one, but Amco used to make the racks that use a big rubber suction cup over the four feet of the rack rather than bolting on.  Then used a rubber tipped "c" shaped hook to fit under the boot lid on the front.  This might be the answer to both if you can find one.  Check Ebay.

Cape International luggage racks. Google it that way and then click on boot
fittings.    They use high quality metal straps that hook beneath the lower
boot lid lip.   They utilize the hinges on the upper portion.  No drilling,
very sturdy will hold pleanty of weight.  Very well made with excellent
chrome. No damage to paint!! 100% reversible.

 I've had mine in place for 6 years and love it.  Looks way better than
factory solutions.  Not cheap but far and away the best possible solution
for Big Healeys

Greetings David,

If you want to better understand what's going on in your
Overdrive, it's very helpful to be able to measure the oil pressure the unit
is making.  Low oil pressure will cause the symptoms you are experiencing.
Initially for my own use, I've made up Oil Pressure Test Gauge Sets for use
with A/D, J & LH Type Laycock Overdrives. I offer these gauges sets for sale.

Rick,

I installed and used one of these original BMC style stand up luggage racks 
for years on my tricarb BT7. I was very happy with it, and highly recommend 
it to anybody contemplating installing one. I can only suppose the chrome on 
the bumper of the fellow you spoke to must have been thin or inferior in 
some way. the chrome feet are rubber tipped where they rest on the bumper. 
As for the holes in the hinges wearing thin, the only wear possible would be 
each time the hinges pivot, and I can't imagine that being too frequently.

Guys

Just a word of warning with the discussion on boot hinges/ rack.

When my bodywork was done by Phil an expert in Healeys, he would love to rant
about shoddy reproduction boot hinges and the excessive play, and crap
construction. He therefore said it was better to have mine repinned by his
machinist. Unfortunately even though they looked brilliant and came back with
no play, we found they need some play as the shrouds are probably not true and
need some play in the hinges to accomodate any variance in the curvature of
the shroud and true parrallel'ness' of the hinges.
With no play the left hinge would  pivot on opening and the pointed shroud end
dig in and mark the paint. Hence the hinges going back to be re-re-machined
with a bit more play:) and the shroud repainted.

So perhaps not all those chinese reproductions are 'crap' and they knew they
needed some play!

Andy

Hardly off topic... Those Volvo brake parts were what the works team  

used on a few cars, namely the Sebring cars from 1960. DD 300 was one  

of those.

Guys

Many thanks for the replies: but if I had said Rich had done my car I guess
you would not question his left from right.

Lets just say Phil does the bodywork on Dennis Welches personal cars, I guess
you know who he is!

Take a look at my pictures and I you may notice all of the back end was
removed and notice the trial fitting of the hood frame / windscreen to check
the hood brackets were put on in the right place, and on a cellette jig, he
has been doing Healeys most of his life.

What I was trying to say is that the boot and shroud have very complex
external curves in several planes, hence you need some play in the hinges to
accomodate the difference in shrouds that were welded in several pieces on
original manufacturer, we all look at the reproduction hinges and say they are
crap, but you do need a LITTLE play!!

I will ask Phil if he dresses on the left or right hand side next time I see
him :)
Just trying to share experiences!

Andy

Unless the left and right hinges were reversed when installed?  Suspect this would stress the holes right much and ream the wholes to make them sloppy.

Hey Rick how bout doin your own thing and go with a LBCT.    Many styles 
available,
 very light weight,  a lot of room,   and you can actually see the semi 
trucks coming
up behind you rather than just hearing them.

Lets think laterally ( or is it, in reverse)  Fit a 'car bra' on the back and fill it . No holes required or worn hinges!

If you hold a hinge up with the pin horizontal looking at the end you will
note that the lower surface slopes slightly.. that's how I tell.
Some have LEFT or RIGHT cast into them but that is too easy.

John Sprinzel drove a MG Midget from London to Sydney with a co-driver and thy carried all their spares and personal items in a special rack fitted to the top. And John is 6 feet 4 or something. This was the first London-Sydney.  

For the second London-Sydney an English entrant carried a spare alloy radiator strapped under the shroud in the engine bay.He also plated under the chassis and then cut a removable panel in the floors to provide access for his spare rear springs. Also he sealed the rear wheel arch by fitting a plate radiused to the wheel opening and then accessed it from within the trunk.  

I once took three blokes and two girls in long dresses to a dance in my BN.4 with the hardtop fitted.  

Space is available!!!!!!

Dave,

The easiest way to see the difference in the hinges is to hold them side by side in the position Michael Salter described.

In addition to what Michael wrote, another point.  If you kneel down at the back bumper and look upward across the boot lid you will see that the lid slopes off to the right and left.  This slope tells you which hinge goes on which side - that is, so as to keep the hinges sort of level without slope to the outsides.

My Luggage rack was modified slightly so that the down legs with the rubber 
end covers rest on the bumper support brackets. All the weight is on the 
brackets, not on the bumper itself. The rack has been on my car for over nine years 
with no problems.

Message-ID: <20081208230511.3N0IB.487260.imail@fed1rmwml46>

This is a topic that has come up recently and is relevant to the majority of us on this list, as PC users.  I want to share a resource, but don't want to start an "oil thread" (one based on personal opinion, biased, based on tiny sample size)

Google, in warning against a malware-infected website that a search turned up, recommended the following site:
http://www.stopbadware.org/home/badware_remove

which suggested this site,  among others:
http://www.av-comparatives.org/
Click on the "comparatives" tab, then look at the 2 latest reports, 19 & 20.  

The "retrospective" "proactive" tests are probably the most important as far as real-world effectiveness; for explanation see
http://www.mcafee.com/us/local_content/white_papers/threat_center/wp_imuttik_vb_conf_2001.pdf
This also shows the errors that you will get in the ratings if you don't test a huge number of viruses & other malware in your comparison.

Recently on the Healey list there have been several free & paid antivirus programs discussed.  At av-comparatives.org, free programs tended to show more false positives, resulting in lower ratings.  It was mentioned on the forum that this site is starting to consider use of system resources by the AV programs (which was mentioned prominently in the Healey list discussion) , but I didn't notice this yet in the comparison summaries.  

Bottom line: many AV programs are acceptable, some are better, none are perfect.  
Over the years there is much random & systematic variation, so you need to consider results over several years.
http://www.av-comparatives.org/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=798

My take from personal experience: The risk of hardware failures may exceed the risk of viruses & malware, but to deal with BOTH you'd better be darn sure to do full system backups on a scheduled routine.   Some people will learn this the hard way - & some won't learn.

Subject: [Healeys] 100 blown gasket?
Message-ID: <20081209.085801.29820.0@webmail05.vgs.untd.com>

We drive this car through the year when streets are dry. Yesterday was out to
get the oil changed and it starts running quite rough. Cancelled the
choke-seemed a bit better, but not running on all four. On the way back it got
progressively worse. I'm thinking a plug wire is not right, though I checked
them at the oil shop. The car did not like any work and sort of "pinged" if
strained at all. Got the car back in the garage (1.25 mile round trip downhill
there,up back) and sort of idling and saw WATER droplets coming out of the
tailpipe! Blown head gasket? (Do not reply with the dreaded words.."cracked
head!")

Subject: [Healeys] Frame repair advise - 1964 BJ8 Phase 2
Message-ID: <d19.3323dea1.367000a0@cs.com>

Need advise,

Our HBJ8-L/28207, an early phase 2 car is about ready to be media blasted.  
The frame/chassis is totally stripped and is on a rotisserie.  Once blasted and 
primered I need to do some repair work, driver's floor, left footwell, rear 
trunk floor, and both shut pillar face plates (where door latch and front of 
rear fenders attach) will need replaced due to rust.  The frame itself seems 
very solid except for the top of the left rail from the motor mount to about the 
center of the drivers seat, which is rusting from the outside and appears 
thin.  Kilmartin makes a u-shaped frame repair piece that is supplied 4 feet long 
and is designed to fit inside the frame rail once the very top (or bottom if 
desired) of the frame is removed.  That is the area that is 3 inches wide that 
has the weld bead.  The repair piece has 1 inch legs that fit inside the frame 
and then whole thing gets welded in place. 

Question, how and where should the chassis be supported when we cut out the 
top of the rail at that location?  I would definitely assume we would not leave 
it on the rotisserie!  Would supporting the bottom of the frame in four 
spots, two near the front of the car, say between the motor and suspension mounts 
(on each rail) and two near the back of the x-frame be sufficient? Should we be 
concerned with warping or twisting of the chassis as the old piece is cut out 
and the new piece is welded in? If so, how do we prevent this short of 
rigidly attaching to a frame machine which we do not have? We will use a MIG welder 
and certainly take our time to minimize any heat.

Anyone have any experience with this repair piece? Suggestions?  

Are we in over our head with this repair?

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Subject: [Healeys] rear seat and foam question????
Message-ID: <000001c95a26$fb5e2d00$f21a8700$@com>

Fellow Healeyoids,

I have a simple question  regarding the rear seat on my 63 BJ7.  I have a
complete leather interior kit from AH Spares.  I have a woman who does
upholstery on old cars and she is going to cover the front seats, but Im
trying to tackle the rear seats by myself.  I have already done the rear
squab and it looks nice.



My question is, how thick is the foam padding, (if any) that is used on top
of the rear seat pans.  The leather kit already has some thin foam sewn on
the backside of the leather.  Probably 3/8 or so.  Also, how dense is the
foam, is it like landau form that is used on the backs of the uppers of the
front seat?  I was thinking that it cant be too thick like < or less
otherwise the leather wont come around the sides of the seat pan nicely.
Thanks in advance!

I'm with Tom, don't you think that's a bit 'over the top'??

I would venture to guess that Listers are PC Users somewhere around

For those of you running performance engines, I'm looking for some feedback

Currently I'm running side exits that were jerry rigged by myself..I took
the full BJ8 (late model) falcon system and simply exited after the first
resonators.

 

Sound is a little coarse and load for everyday use.

 

The engine is heavily modified +200hp 3.2litre.

 

Does anybody out there use Denis Welch Side Exits or  Stebro or any other
types.

 

I'm looking for low restriction but with a reasonable noise level  (I
occasionally like my wife to come with me!).

Since I may be the one that started the AntiVirus thread a month or so ago 
when I asked about free AV programs, let me say that as a result of being on 
The List, I lost a computer by receiving a virus/trojan (?) so bad that no 
one could clean it out of my PC.  It was through a hijacked address book of 
someone on The List that I had been corresponding with about my Healey.

Because of that incident, I am always interested in info about computer 
security whether it comes from radio/TV/Internet, newspapers, magazines, OR 
THE HEALEY MAIL LIST.

And I agree with Ed  ( Oh! For shame.  :-(   ).  I heard on the radio just 
the other day that Apple was sending out notices to Apple users to install 
and use security software.  They are being attacked now, also, although 
Apple downplays it.    See http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx.shtml

Paul--
 
When I put the DW AL head and steel header on my 100 I originally  opted for 
the side exhaust, in part to give more ground clearance as well  as because 
that is what I had on my first Healey a long time ago and I  thought it would 
really be cool.  
 
After a year or so I got tired of the hammering sound and had a  muffler guy 
extend the pipe all the way to the rear which is much more  pleasant.  
Remember to disconnect your ground if you are having any  welding done.

Randy,

Well to start with they never used leather on the little rear seats. They 
used a very thin vinyl and it was padded only very slightly (less than 
1/8"). Therefore you are already probably starting with too much thickness.
I hope the woman who is building up your front seats has some idea of what 
they are supposed to look like in the matter of form and contour.
I just had the opportunity to inspect a totally original BJ7 yesterday, and 
after 45 years the rear seats give the impression of having no thickness or 
padding at all except in the middle pleats, though what was there was a very 
thin cotton gauze. The pleats were laced down through little holes in the 
seat pan to keep them down. The old original vinyl is almost paper thin.

To be honest it won't do much if you ask me.  You should only do this
for your own prsonal driving pleasure.  If you are selling/flipping
the car, don't bother.

Check the simple stuff first, you mentioned the choke, choke can stick on, 
which will make the motor run worse as it warms up and doesn't need the 
choke anymore?

You can push the jets up on the bottom of the carb with your fingers to 
check this.

You said not to mention "Cr*****ed H**d" so am trying to give you other 
options, given what you have described could be a carburation or iginition 
problem too.

Also you may want to pull the plugs, most any car fix it book will have 
pictures of what a plug should look like if the motor is running right or 
wrong (if you don't have that knowledge internalized already).

Oil filter is on the same side as the distributor, could they have knocked a 
wire loose or something when working on the car?

Rich,
Thanks a lot for the info on the rear seats.  I'm providing the woman
upholstering my seat with pics and the Moss video.  I figure if it is too
thick or thin, I can always adjust by removing or adding foam to the seat.
I have done everything on my car except these seats and pull the trigger on
the paint gun.  I just can't work with leather or cloth.  I can't even make
a bed or fold a t-shirt worth a sh*t.
I will use nothing on the rear seat other than what is there currently.  My
older brother had an all original 1963 BJ7 (#19669) he bought used in 1969
for $425.  As a kid I used to sit in the rear seats a lot.  They were vinyl
and very thin as I recall.  I didn't know if they just got that way from use
or were already that way.  Thanks again.  Your help is incredible in putting
my car together.

Randy

Mike -

None of this suggests you have a blown head gasket.  Typically a blown head
gasket will result in a HUGE amount of visible vapor clouds coming out of
the tailpipe and the exhaust will have a sweet antifreeze smell, either that
or if you pull your dip stick the oil is white and foamy.

Water dripping from the tailpipe is normal in all Healeys.  It happens when
the exhaust pipe cools down after being driven, then as the air cools, the
natural vapor in the air condenses on the inside of the exhaust then sits in
a little pool in your pipes & muffler.  Next time you start the car, the
water is pushed back by the exhaust force and forced out the tailpipe,
dripping out.

My guess is you have some sort of fuel or ignition problem, with the pinging
I am betting fuel.  After running the car, when it has trouble, pop the tops
off the float chambers and see if there's fuel in there.  If one of the
float chambers in low on fuel or mostly dry, then you problem is either a
weak fuel pump or if you are lucky a blocked float jet.

Jess,

I totally agree with Michael. With all the  "sort-of LeMans" 100's, I
feel it has polluted the real "M". The 100, by itself, is one of the most
beautiful and classic sports cars ever built. The "value" is in what it
means to you. Go with what you have and you will be quite happy.

Mike,
 I'm going to disagree with Alan on this one. It is indeed likely that the
head gasket has "burned" though between two cylinders, thus two are being
pressurized simultaneously caused very pronounced pinging. Alternatively a
sticking valve will cause similar symptoms.
 OTOH, a stuck float will cause a drastic loss of power, but not pinging, so
I'll go with my picks given your description.

I'm replacing the old BMC radio in a BJ8 with a newer unit. All of the
radios I've seen are very modern looking with digital dials and fancy tuning
systems etc. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a retro looking radio with
AM/FM, push buttons, and a tuning scale that looks 60's-ish. My one
concession to modern units would be an MP3 jack on the front so my wife
could listen to her Ipod.
The car will be converted to Neg. ground and I will add stero speakers, but
I don't need a CD player and don't like the look of all the modern stuff in
a '67 car. Any suggestions?

Had a chance a few years back to ride in Hortense's a few years back
whilst being 'chauffeured' by a couple of gents from NE Ohio (that I DO

Bob / Alan, I put this Retrosound unit in my BJ8 last winter. It fit  
well but the sound is terrible. It has a tinny, cheap sound and I used  
excellent speakers with it. The MP3 jack broke after a week of use.  
It's coming out this winter.

I'll make you a great deal on it. Actually, I wouldn't.

Randy -

When I re-did the rear seat foams on my BJ8, I used 1/8" foam padding - and
the padding is a soft/light weight padding, not firm.  The kit I bought *only
had padding on the seat bottom*, not the sides because you don't want
padding sewn in there because it makes it hard to stretch it properly.

It looks original, not a little overstuffed like some of the more expensive
installations I've seen.

I had  Stebro system on my BN 6 and am replacing it with rear exhaust pipes.
The noise level is very high and gets to me after a while!

For those of you running performance engines, I'm looking for some feedback
on side exit exhaust.



Currently I'm running side exits that were jerry rigged by myself..I took
the full BJ8 (late model) falcon system and simply exited after the first
resonators.



Sound is a little coarse and load for everyday use.



The engine is heavily modified +200hp 3.2litre.



Does anybody out there use Denis Welch Side Exits or  Stebro or any other
types.



I'm looking for low restriction but with a reasonable noise level  (I
occasionally like my wife to come with me!).

I was at the Tahoe Healey gathering a few years back (around 2001 or so?)

One of the Healey 3000's had a side exhaust that purred like a 
kitten. I was surprise at how quite it was. If the person that owned 
the Healey is one of the list members I would really appreciate it if 
he would let us know what type of muffler he had!

Yes, I know.... I should have asked him back then!

Hello Eric,
Have a look to:  http://rsm.healey.nl/
Michiel Capelle is one of the well known Netherlands Healey restorers and has
as far as I know a very good reputation.
But if you need a bodywelding specialist I can more than highly recommend
http://www.toonspitters.nl/. No financial interest. Toon is just a friend of

John,

My ' 62 BT7 was at Tahoe in 2002 with a side exit exhaust (there may have
been others). The engine has standard compression pistons, twin 1-3/4" SU
carburettors, Mk III cam, Dennis Welch 6 branch exhaust (headers) to a
standard AH Spares silencer (muffler) set into the drivers door (LHD). There
are twin short length curved discharge pipes exiting just in front of the
rear tyre.

The noise level is just acceptable throughout the rpm range (balanced to
6,000 rpm) but as I drive the car with the hood down most of the time I do
wear headgear covering my ears.

On long distances, the exhaust noise could get to you but with other wind
noises, it is generally OK. I still maintain that the "best" exhaust note is
with a single silencer and twin pipes exiting at the rear, eg Mk II 6
cylinder - a true Healey noise easily distinguished miles away on a calm
summers evening.

Peter Hunt

Subject: [Healeys] upgrading a healey
Message-ID: <25F2B75F1B384EF497316A4DF088758A@tm4>

I think there are many more aspects to the value of the Healey than just the
M conversion.. If I may rank them, they would be in the order:
1. rustfreeness
2. no bodywork, or body work which was done professionally
the above 2 should result in:
3. no bondo no the car :-)
4. originalty
5. completeness

Once these are there, the value of the car is at a X level.

If the car is good, original, well done, the original modifications will
take the value of the car up. But if the car is tatty, M modifications will
not help.. This can be often seen on eBay, where M modifications on rougher
cars do not really add to the value of the car, but on good cars can raise
the value.

That being said, I am not sure the value of the M upgrade using modern parts
(probably of about $10k) will increase the value of the car that much..

Also, each modification that is not original takes this value down, but
modifications that are according to the original specs take the value of the
car up.

I am not taking obviously about concourse cars aiming for 100% originality -
they would probably fall into a different class...


Best, Tadek

Try Custom Autosound at http://www.casmfg.com/. They make units for
older cars and one that can be hidden. They advertise in Hot Rod
magazines. I've never used or heard their radios, so I can't tell you
what the quality is like. I'll bet you can Google the name and get some

I'm replacing the old BMC radio in a BJ8 with a newer unit. All of the
radios I've seen are very modern looking with digital dials and fancy
tuning
systems etc. I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a retro looking radio
with
AM/FM, push buttons, and a tuning scale that looks 60's-ish. My one
concession to modern units would be an MP3 jack on the front so my wife
could listen to her Ipod.
The car will be converted to Neg. ground and I will add stero speakers,
but
I don't need a CD player and don't like the look of all the modern stuff
in
a '67 car. Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <cd33dd3a0812100727x115a63b9n46cce0e5f76dc919@mail.gmail.com>

When I rebuilt my BN1 engine I used a lightened flywheel that came with the
car (basket case). I don't know who did the machining of the flywheel but it
was nice work. The 1/4 timing mark had disappeared with the machining. The
rest of the engine machining was done locally by a machinist familiar with
Brit iron and having a good reputation. He also balanced everything. Right
after he finished my engine and before I assembled it he retired so was not
available for consultation.
My question:
What was the purpose of the original 1/4 timing marks? With the flywheel
balanced, why should orientation make any difference?
My problem:
I've got an annoying vibration that comes on about 1500 RPM and I'm looking
for ideas. As soon as I convince myself it's not the driveshaft (don't think
it is), the gearbox comes out and the flywheel and clutch cover plate will
be rebalanced. I may go back to the stock flywheel. Not excited about
tearing a car apart when I don't even have it together yet.

Marvin,

my guess is that the vibrations are not drivetrain-related. Vibrations
occuring only at certain engine speeds are more likely to be engine-related.

Subject: [Healeys] Flywheel Timing Marks BN1

When I rebuilt my BN1 engine I used a lightened flywheel that came with the
car (basket case). I don't know who did the machining of the flywheel but it
was nice work. The 1/4 timing mark had disappeared with the machining. The
rest of the engine machining was done locally by a machinist familiar with
Brit iron and having a good reputation. He also balanced everything. Right
after he finished my engine and before I assembled it he retired so was not
available for consultation.
My question:
What was the purpose of the original 1/4 timing marks? With the flywheel
balanced, why should orientation make any difference?
My problem:
I've got an annoying vibration that comes on about 1500 RPM and I'm looking
for ideas. As soon as I convince myself it's not the driveshaft (don't think
it is), the gearbox comes out and the flywheel and clutch cover plate will
be rebalanced. I may go back to the stock flywheel. Not excited about
tearing a car apart when I don't even have it together yet.

Hi Bob,

This is not an inexpensive fix but it looks great and sounds  
wonderful. If you still have
you original radio or can get your hands on one or a good looking  
vintage, a company
  called S & M Electro Tech will put a modern am/fm radio in the  
original case. The only thing different in looks
will be a small LED light on the face for FM mono, FM stereo, and AM.  
We had them
add a jack for our ipod so there will also be a very small toggle  
switch that you can mount
anywhere.  The jack will be out of sight so we put in a cord  that  
stays in the car and we just plug in the ipod.
S & M first put the jack on the side off the radio and it
interfered with the speakers we put on the side so they nicely
moved it to the back for us. You will want to tell them were you want  
the jack.
We have had our Healey for over 40 years so it has been through all  
the musical formats
changes with us; AM radio, AM/FM, 8 track, cassette, sony 10 CD  
changer in the truck:
but this system is the best. Most Healey guys say you only need the  
roar of the engine for music
but we think having our whole music library as accompaniment makes our  
California foothill Healey
driving twice as nice.

For stock 6 cylinder engines use these NGK plugs or other brand equivalents:

BPR5EGP, platinum;  NGK stock #7082
BPR5EIX, iridium;  NGK stock #6597

For modified engines use a 6 heat range.  Same letters but with a 6;
different stock numbers.

In ether event, read the plugs after initial use to insure that you are in
the proper heat range.

Hello Jess; 
 
Regarding value enhancement by modifying your Healey 100, I tend to believe
that the conversion costs will far outweigh any value enhancement; in fact,
the value may decline.  As an investment, the risks may be far greater than
the benefit/rewards; this is especially true in the current economic climate.
 
If you wish to make the modifications for your own enjoyment, that is an
entirely different situation.  For details of the Le Mans modifications, you
may wish to spend some time on Larry Varley's fantastic Austin Healey 100
Restoration Site.  There you will find a letter [ provided by Patrick Quinn ]
which outlines the Le Mans engine modifications [a pdf copy is attached] as
well as a 16 page Special Equipment and Tuning Instructions for the Austin

Marvin

The original timing marks on the flywheel are a hangover from when this 
item first appeared on an Austin 16. This had a hole in the top area of 
the bell housing that lined up with the marks on flywheel. The gearbox 
casing had timing marks around this hole. A small cover, held in place 
with two screws, was fitted to cover the hole to keep the dirt out. For 
this marking to be of use the flywheel had to be fitted with these marks 
at TDC. This hole did not appear on BN1 or BN2 gearbox casings so there 
were no accurate timing marks on a 100. An imprecise pointer was added 
to the timing chain cover of later engines but the corresponding mark on 
the edge of the crankshaft pulley was not always to be seen so it is 
hard to say when the both timing marks first appeared together.

If a flywheel; although balanced before fitting to the engine has been 
balanced again when fitted to the whole engine then it is important that 
it goes back to the same place rotationally. If not a good overall 
balance can turn into an imbalance. Have you removed the flywheel after 
full engine balance and if you did, did you replace it in the same 
position?

Best Regards

Please contact me off-list if you have a set you are willing to part with.

They are BMC part numbers AHA9338 (RH), AHA9339 (LH)

Tadek,
The LeMans cars had big bore side exhausts.
There were a lot of modifications, that did not make it to the kit, i.e. all
aluminium body, different larger tank, aluminium bumpers, no louvered bonnet
(only for 100S cars), no soft top. 100Ms were not at all close to the real
LeMany cars. For me a 100M is still nothing else than a bid of a modified
ordinary 100 and I still do not understand this glorification of the 100Ms. It
is like you order the sportiver option of a car. And even the modification at
the Healey factory (Cape) was done in the style of a backyard garage. For me
the 100M is highly overestimated by some enthusiasts. A 100S is a different
car.
Jaguar did similar with the XKs and fitted high performance cylinder heads as
an option.  But there is not at all such kind of different rating.
I know other may think different. But I just see it from the technical point
of view.

Yes there were loads of mods done to the "works 100s" that ran at Le  
Mans that aren't on the street version.

One big value point on the "M" model is that while all regular  
production cars were built by Jensen and Austin,  the 100M cars were  
actually handled through the Healey shop at the Cape.

That makes them a bit special to some.

I have been following this thread with some interest because of the  
discussion in "Value Added" if one does the LeMan or M Kit NOW  Vs if it came from the 
factory or can be documented back to a specific dealer  add on when it was 
originally sold.
 
Granted the total number of either "Factory M's or Originally Added Dealer  M 
Kits" is somewhat debatable it still falls into a specific category which has 
 a value assigned to it by the various companies that do that sort of thing. 
i.e.  N.A.D.A. for Classic Cars, Sports Car Market, etc.  It seems that most 
of  the discussion has been that adding the M kit now doesn't add value or if 
so  very little (Except as it may be for the current owner) and that  IF it 
adds value it would not be enough to cover the cost of  the M kit.  Some of that 
has to do with where & when you buy the parts  & who does the work BUT there 
is a specific category listed  for stock BN 2's, one for Converted M's (Doesn't 
matter when)  AND one for the truly Certified Factory M's.   While I haven't 
looked at my books in a few months the last time I did there was  over a 
$20,000. difference in the valuation assigned to a Factory M Vs a Stock  BN 2 and 
there was about $10,000. difference between a Stock BN 2 Vs a Converted  M. 
(again, not matter when the kit was added).  This would seem to differ  from what 
many have indicated.
 
While it may be a "Moot" point to many, as they never intend to sell their  
cars, it does indicate there is value in adding the M kit from a "Market"  view 
point in addition to what the owner may get from driving a slightly  upgraded 
BN 2.  In my opinion converted M's will NEVER equal what a Factory M is worth 
in the market (Nor should it!) but if  the question is "Does adding the M kit 
now add value?"  The market makers  say it does.  So as usual it boils down 
to a personal decision.  Are  you looking for value, improved performance or 
trying to stay Concours correct  for your car?  Value would only seem to matter 
if one intended to sell the  car.  The other two will always be a matter of 
personal opinion, of which,  everyone has one.
 
The biggest issue to me is that if one does decide to add the M kit now and  
then later decides to part with the car is should NEVER be  represented as a 
true "Factory M."
 
Cheers,

Kenny, The healey was my car when I was 17 years old.  I bought two 1959
100-6 , BN6 in 1978 that were a mess, I still own one, I haven't driven
it since 1980 and I just got the frame and body re-done, I expect to
take another 5 years to restore it.  If that's not love I don't know
what is.
I might love that car more than my wife, I've had it longer....

The difference is the car doesn't complain as much.

Josef,

I guess if you have a hard time finding a Factory 100-S a Factory 100-M will 
have to do.........
.
I looked on the Nada site last week  the 100-M was around $115,000. USD and 
the 100-S was Around $189,000 USD . the 100-S is way under priced  .

When a 1959 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar is selling  for $25K USD, 
Art youu can play, a Factory 100M for $115 K  might not be a bad deal ,Art 
you can drive. A BJ8 phase II car on NADA is $78,100. K

Then again, I have heard that one Healey specialist once said " I have sold
more 100M's than Donald Healey ever did"
seems like every other 100 is a M thats why the price and rarity has diluted.

Its a good thing Austin didn't let Carol Shelby turn the Healey into the 
Cobra and drop a high HP Ford engine in the Healey. We would have no stock 
AH cars out there........

When I looked on the Nada site last year a 100M was the same price as a BJ8 
phase II car, now the M is more. So, are the100 M prices going up or down?

Bingo!!! You get the prize. It comes right down to the fact that instead
of being happy, or even feeling privileged, to own one of the most
beautiful sports cars ever built, many feel a need to "improve" what
Donald Healey built. I would use the word pollute, but dilute is just as
good. I wonder what will happen to the marque when the Rich Chrylsers,
Roger Moments, Norman Nocks and others like them are gone. Will the sole
example of a "pure" 100 be in a museum? Is the future of the Healey a
Smitty's conversion transmission, fuel injection, air conditioning, ipods
and such, until we now longer recognize what we are driving?

A number if years ago, around about 1985, I had a '54 BN1 and when purchased 
it came with a full set of period original "over the dealer counter" Austin 
performance parts as listed in a 1954 printed booklet, i.e. long before a 
"factory M" model was ever thought of. These parts were essentially known as 
the Lemans kit parts, and over the years there has been absolutely nothing 
wrong or false about installing any or all of these parts on your Hundred to 
enhance whatever part of your enjoyment of the car you wish to satisfy. I 
built up my '54 BN1 and installed these parts on it. It seemed I was for 
ever defending to the thickos the fact that it's quite correct to have done 
so, and no, it's NOT a factory M.

Now as for the "Factory M", please note that with the new six cylinder car 
on the horizon, the Warwick boys came up with a brilliant marketing idea 
whereas these about to be orphaned Lemans parts were installed on approx. 
640 production cars that were taken from the (by that time) BN2 line, the 
resulting cars being marketed as a new model, the 100M. Sort of kills two 
birds with one stone....in 1955, the about to be discontinued BN2 and the 
orphaned kit parts could be marketed as a more desireable "new " interum 
model... the 100M.

When this entire situation is examined objectively, it be comes a bit 
ridiculous to me why there has been so much fuss and that much extra value 
placed on the 100M, i.e. the ones that had the kit bits installed "over 
there" so they could use up the parts.
One last interesting point....the only "certification" we seem to have from 
BMIHT about these "factory M's" is that it's recorded on the build card that 
they were fitted with a louvered bonnet.

Just some thoughts to contemplate....

Rich,
You wrote what I wanted to say. Its all about marketing. And if you have a lot
of stones in your garden. Just make the people believe they are special and
you are the winner.


Kenny:
 "I looked on the Nada site last week  the 100-M was around $115,000. USD and
the 100-S was Around $189,000 USD . the 100-S is way under priced "

Here in Germany/Europe (perhaps except Switzerland) I think there is no way to
sell a 100-M for $115,000. You would not find one to buy. But if you can show
me a real 100S for sale for $189,000, I would ask all my friends to lend me
money to buy this car.

Mitch - all of this information is provided in excellent detail in the
factory/Bentleys Shop Manual, or alternatively a Haynes Manual.  Do
you have either one of these?

Hi Mitch,

The new 2009 edition of the Concours Guidelines will be available in CD 
format only, about the latter part of Feb. '09.

Meanwhile, the harness on a late BN4 after c.68959 will have the following: 
main harness black loomed with single white-thread diagonal tracer. The 
chassis harness (bulkhead to back of car) was black loomed with a yellow 
tracer.

And while we're here, the early BN4 apparently had only a black loom with no 
coloured tracer. Only the sub harness feeding the wiper motor had a single 
yellow tracer on a black loom.

Above has been taken from the 2008 edition of the Concours Guide.

Good for you Rich, The snobbery gets to be  bit much
IE: Daring to improve on Donald Healeys work
considiring he was always looking to improve his cars, surely there is no sin
in doing these period upgrades.

Thanks to all who responded to my questions about concerns over the
factory-style luggage rack. Since some of the replies came to me alone and not
the list, I thought I'd share the information.First of all, it seems that the
fellow I talked to who tried to persuade me not to install one of these racks
is the only person with negative comments about them. I even telephoned the
person he gave his rack to (he said "gave"; the new owner said he paid $200
for it) and he thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. One reply
came from a dealer who has installed about 15 factory-style racks with no
complaints about chrome wearing off the bumper or wear in the hinge pin holes.
He did say that no two racks seem to fit the same but the beauty of this rack
is no weight on the trunk lid. Another respondent said that he had used one of
these racks for over 5 years with no problems and highly recommended them.Two
people suggested the Cape racks and both had them on their cars for several
years. Although they are pricey one commented that the exchange rate is good
at the moment. It might be good if you're an American but unfortunately I work
with Canadian dollars. I got a comment from someone who saw the response about
the Cape racks and he experienced paint wear under the rear attachments.One
person suggested trying to find an Amco rack that mounted with rubber suction
cups to which someone else commented that the suction cups were hard on paint.
He also advised against the Amco permanent racks because they are a PITA.One
person suggested the Holden factory-style rack. I checked and the price was
good - little more than half the price of a Cape rack.Someone suggested I
forget a rack and consider a small trailer.That's about it. Lot's to think
about and, apart from my friend, nothing negative about the factory luggage
rack. I'm leaning in that direction.CheersRick'59 BN4 - hopefully restoration
will be completed in time to use a luggage rack next summer

Very nice ,  helpful summary Rick,   thanks.

Can someone chime in here at how long it takes to remove a luggage rack
in case one prefers the car without a rack but uses the rack for long trips.
Since there are no holes in the trunk it seems like it would be doable.
Is this convenient to do or a pita.

Mark

I just received a new set of motor mounts.

 

I note that the small rebound pads are the same size..however, the ones that
I pulled off the car are each of a different size.

 

Anybody else have this issue.

'Might' take 5 mts for the Factory or what the Holden unit
(as I mentioned<G>) seems to be.

The single thing that 'would be' the "draw back" is that the boot lid
("truck" for the newbies.  LOL) would retain the SCREWED on 'bolts'
which remain IN PLACE and IMHO would look like He||<G>!!

If you would like a pic of what I mean, I'll get a pic in a day or 2 for
you (but will put on my site for all).

Well wait, just re-checked Holden site.  The TWO items at bottom
right of pic show the items that ARE 'screwed' to lower (close to)
corners of the boot lid.  If you need further, lemme know and I can just
'borrow' their pic & circle them.  If you would really like a pic of the
'screwed on' items which ARE installed, lemme know (or anybody else<G>).

Have to move a spare '70 Camino Rear Bumper inorder to open Hortense's
boot lid<VBG>!!!

PS:  I MUST admit that I am somewhat 'dazzled' by the lack of ANY
questions regarding "how can anybody tell the diff between repos &
original racks" !?!?  <VBG>

The four  Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, 
Invented and developed  the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 
17, 1946, the temperature in  Detroit was 97 degrees. 
The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's  office and 
Sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen  were 
There with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since  
The electric starter. 
Henry was curious and invited them into his  office. They refused and 
Instead asked that he come out to the p arking lot  to their car. 
They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130  degrees, 
Turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately.  
The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, 
Where  he offered them $3 million for the patent. 
The brothers refused, saying they  would settle for $2 million, but 
They wanted the recognition by having a  label, 'The Goldberg 
Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which  it was 
Installed. 
Now old man Ford was more than just a little  anti-Semitic, and there 
Was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name  on two million 
Fords. 
They haggled back and forth for about two hours,  and finally agreed 
On $4 million and that just their first names would be  shown. 
And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show Lo, Norm, Hi, and  
Max on the controls. 
So, now you know... 
P.S. Don't lose your sense  of humor during these challenging times!

Thanks to all who responded-this is a great bunch! The nut that I walked away

ignition system as I seem to have a short in ...the distributor. Should I
merely pull it from the engine and work on it on the bench? Can I get

Mike -

You can pull the dizzy from the engine but you have to make a note of the
rotor position as the 100 motor's distributor is connected to the dizzy
drive like most Detroit iron.

The points and condenser for the Lucas DM2 dizzy is not a the most common
Lucas set up, but maybe a NAPA will have it in their warehouse - only way to
know is go and ask.  that being said if you have a "short" in there, it
suggests the condensor is bad (the points should be fine) - if this is the
case.... any Lucas condensor should work in there, even if it doesn't fit
exactly, it'll work.

If you have a short in the distributor, you may also have a cracked cap -
not necessarily a bad condensor.

Message-ID: <8C84228CAD6D4973A96AE4467CB36685@your4dacd0ea75>

When four of Santa's elves got sick, the trainee elves did not produce toys as
fast as the regular ones, and Santa began to feel the Pre-Christmas pressure.

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed
Santa even more.

When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about
to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows
where.

Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy
bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered.

Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of
rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the
cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the
cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the
kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the
straw off the end of the broom.

Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked
it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree.
The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely
day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?'

And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree.

Hi Scott & Jim-
 
FYI I think you will find that Wickerized Healey is currently out of stock  
on these items and have been for several months.
When I checked with them in the early part of 2008 they were out of stock  
and were not sure just when they might be making another production run of these 
 items.
Just my $.02 worth.

I hate to be the bearer of this news but Marlene called me this evening to

went peacefully and she has family with her.  I am not home to get  his 
address--it is in the AHCA Member handbook and perhaps someone will post  it.  I know 
Marlene will appreciate hearing from all.
 
At one time Dave was a prolific poster to this list and helped so many of  us 
with all kinds of things.  Though I spoke with him by phone a  number of 
times and exchanged lots of emails, particularly about projects in  which we had a 
common interest(installing NICAL hardtops on our 100's was one  that was the 
subject of numerous letters, photo exchanges, etc) I never got to  meet Dave 
in person.  A few years back Gary Fuqua of Missouri, myself and  Dave ( we all 
had similar 100's) had corresponded about getting together for a  trip 
somewhere but it never came off.  I regret that.
 
Dave was the real deal--I am richer for having known him and poorer for his  
having passed.

Message-ID: <ccd.49e4f6ce.36748bf7@aol.com>

(If the person that owned 
the Healey is one of the list members I  would really appreciate it if 
he would let us know what type of muffler he  had!)

 
Hi John-
 
My brother and I attended the 2002 Healey International at South Lake  Tahoe. 
We were in my BJ8, Blackie, with the side exit exhaust.
The muffler and side exit pipes were purchased from Hemphill's Healey  Haven 
Ltd. in Baltimore, MD.
In their catalog the system was described as a "Large Bore Stainless  Muffler 
With Side Pipes" and was the same system that was available from the SC  
Parts Group which they described as a Bigbore silencer. 
I like the sound of the systems so well that I bought a second set  with the 
larger 1&3/4" rear exit pipes. It is easy enough for me to  switch from the 
side exit to the rear exit pipes. And I do alternate from time  to time 
depending upon who is going to be my passenger.   
 
(The attached picture is the current look of Blackie after some cosmetic  
body work. I.e. wing louvers, openings below the grill for air flow to the oil  
cooler, removal of mirrors from the wings, and removal of the radio antennae  
from the right side of the cowl. Not sure that you can see the side exit pipes  
in this picture but they are on her.)

That particular amperage spec. may be hard to come by.   3/4" for  a starter 
cable
seems incredibly large.   Any standard battery-type cable should  be plenty 
big.

This is truly a sad day for the Healey community.

Subject: [Healeys] Luggage Rack
Message-ID: <bd3.35658dd4.36749a77@aol.com>

Because I like to travel on Healey trips with my wife, and that mean one more 
standard-sized suitcase in order to keep everyone happy, but I don't like the 
looks of the factory luggage rack as it is normally mounted (bed of rack 
parallel with the ground, brackets resting on the bumper, and bracket fasteners 
screwed to the trunk lid), I came up with a solution:

Take the normal factory-style luggage rack, as sold by Moss. Fasten it on to 
the hinges, using the bolts which fit through the hinges in place of the hinge 
pins. Put the little hinge pins in a small plastic bag in your hand-tool kit 
which you keep in your driver-side door pocket.
Reverse the legs so that they go down and then bend outward to the rear, 
instead of going out to the rear and then down.
You will discover that the legs will fit into the rear overriders, with their 
rubber feet resting against the inside of the overriders. The bed of the 
luggage rack will be slanted back, roughly parallel with the deck lid.
Use a bungee cord to hold the luggage rack securely in place, running the 
bungee cord from the center of the rear of the luggage rack and hooking the two 
hooks under the bottom of the rar bumper.
Now, pack your trunk, fasten the luggage rack down, and fasten your suitcase 
to the luggage rack. You're ready to go.
When you need to get into the trunk, you will need to unfasten the bungee 
cord and lift up the luggage rack to open the trunk, but this isn't difficult. 
Normally, you don't need to get into the trunk until the end of the day, when 
you have the suitcase off the rack, anyhow.
When you don't need the luggage rack, or want to remove it for the show, 
simply slide out the bolts at the hinges, put the hinge pins back in, and put away 
the luggage rack. That takes approximately five minutes. When you're ready to 
get back on the road, reverse the process; that also takes approximately five 
minutes.
And, bottom line, no drilling, the luggage rack is not permanently in place, 
but when you need the extra luggage space, you'll be all set.
Buy the luggage rack, try it out, and this will all become very clear.
Cheers
gary

I had the pleasure of working with Dave on the healey.org website as well as

to spend some time with him at Rendezvous and was a student and recipient of
his mechanical wisdom.

He will be sorely missed.

Message-ID: <c43.3ff78d57.36752cb8@aol.com>

A guy walked into the local welfare office to pick  up his check. He marched




straight up to the counter and said, " Hi. You  know, I just HATE drawing




welfare. I'd really rather have a  job."




The social worker behind the counter said,  "Your timing is excellent. We




just got a job opening from a very wealthy old man  who wants a chauffeur and




bodyguard for his beautiful daughter. You'll have  to drive around in his




Mercedes, and he'll supply All of your  clothes.




Because of the long hours, meals will be provided.  you'll be expected to




escort the daughter on her overseas holiday trips  and you will have




To satisfy her sexual urges. You'll be provided a  two-bedroom apartment




above the garage. The salary is $200,000 a  year."




The guy, wide-eyed, said, " You're bullshittin'  me!"




The social worker said, " Yeah, well . . You  started  it."!!!

Driving with Grandpa

A friend, who worked away from home all week, always made a special effort
with his family on the weekends.  Every Sunday morning he would take his 7
year old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time, just
he and his granddaughter.

One week in particular he came home sick, and on Sunday he was still battling
a bad cold and really didn't feel up to going out for a drive at all.
Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their
granddaughter out.

When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her
grandfather.

"Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?"  "Oh yes, Grandpa" the girl
replied, "and do you know what?  We didn't see a single dumb bastard or lousy
shit head or son of a bitch anywhere we went today!"

Brings a tear to your eye doesn't it!

G'day

I think the Jensen 541 is the most attractive coupe of the 1950s and being
powered by the Austin 4-litre straight six is a bonus. I have had the
pleasure of driving a few and while acceleration is not an attribute,
maintaining a constant 100mph cruising speed certainly is. These days,
licence loosing stuff.

Don't know about the convertible version. It's the coupe styling I really
like. However it would be nice in the garage to keep the BN3 and Healey
saloon happy.

Can anyone tell me how much force is needed to manually disengage a clutch? I
have just mated my tranny and engine and attempted to work the clutch fork
lever to no avail, the fork moves freely until the release bearing meets the
pressure plate but I cannot move it any further, I even tried a long pry bar
until I was afraid of breaking the fork. I did not install the clutch and now
wonder if it might be defective or installed improperly. Many thanks.

Hi Brad,
If you put a 2' piece of pipe over the clutch arm you should be able to
disengage the clutch by pulling back on the end of the pipe. You will of
course have to lay the engine on its side to do that and you may need to use
something to stop the assembly moving about.
If you have any doubts definitely make sure everything is correct before
installing the engine and gearbox.

The clutch on my BJ8 is smooth and requires only slightly more pedal 
force than the clutch on my late model Mustang.

Though I haven't tried it myself, I think your attempts to test the 
clutch by manually pressing on the fork lever may be misleading.  There 
is a great deal of mechanical and hydraulic advantage exerted by the 
clutch pedal and master and slave cylinders, probably more than you can 
exert by hand with even a large pry bar.   I have a new, uninstalled 
clutch cover and for a test I put it on a concrete floor and stood on 
the release bearing surface on one leg.  My (nearly) 190 pounds only 
moved the bearing surface a sixteenth of an inch or so; even bouncing on 
the surface didn't cause much more movement. 

The diaphragm clutch in BJ8s is butt-simple and reliable; I can't think 
of any installation error that would cause it to not be workable 
(though, having said that, someone will prove me wrong ;).  Since 
disengaging the clutch involves retracting the pressure plate, about the 
only thing that could cause a problem is something jammed between the 
plate and the clutch cover.   Not likely, unless your mechanic left a 
screwdriver or wrench in there.

Gary:
Custom Water pumps in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan is a good place to have your
water pump rebuilt. Check their site at www.customwaterpumps.net I have used
their services and they have done a great job for me. Formely they were called
San Diego Pump Exchange.

Gary, I had my waterpump rebuilt by Ted Schumacher at TS Imported Automotive
in Pandora, OH (http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com).  That was some time
ago and I don't know if the service is still available from him, but you
could check.

I bought a spare rebuilt waterpump from Bill Bolton, so that's another
possibility:  tricarb at aol.com

Last time I checked, a rebuild wasn't much less, if any, than a "new" 
pump (possibly rebuilt).

Is there any advantage to the rebuilts?

I guess what you are asking about is the inrush current when the starter is
activated. I think that would be in the neighborhood of 150 to 200 amps, but
that is instantaneous and quickly falls back to the 50 - 60 amp range for
cranking. Any moderately sized battery cable will be adequate for this use,
but, because of the length, the larger the better. I'm running some 2 AWG
multi-strand copper that was left over from a radiology installation. No
problem with voltage drop, but it's so flexible it takes additional p-clips to

If you can get your local library to interlibrary you a copy, try

*The End of the Road: The Rise and Fall of Austin-Healey, MG, and Triumph
Sports Cars*, by Whisler.

It is published by the University of Illinois Press as part of a series of
sociological studies. Since it is an academic study it gets thick in some
places, but has a lot of examples.

One that I remember is the time the shop told Austin that a new car wasn't
ready for release at the designated time. He said to begin selling it and
let the customers find the faults!

Arrogance was the problem. The founders of the industry were self taught
men. They had no use for trained mechanical engineers. If one approached for
a job they were rudely turned down. I'm surprised that Alec Issigonis talked
them into the Mini.

I used to be a product manager at Teletype Corp, which is long gone. NIH was
the motto of the engineering design staff. If they hadn't though of it, it
just wasn't going to be a Teletype product.

The book also points out that these designers were good at patching what
existed, rather than creating an innovative answer to a problem . When the
new US bumper and emission rules came in the folks at MG just jacked up the
car without changing the suspension, detuned the engine and removed one
carburator. The result was a poor handling car with no power. That they were
able to continue to sell the cars was a tribute to those who had gone
before.

I have found that the best thing to use is welding cable available from
welding supply stores. As Bill notes it is a little bit more flexible than
is ideal but it sure does the job.

Bill is correct and the usual battery cable rating is 60 amps with a start up
current rating of 200 amps, most looms are made by Autosparks and here is a
table showing their cable sizes, ratings and applications:

Brad -

Trying to move the clutch arm with your hands is very difficult.  I doubt
there's any hang up.  If you stood on top of the clutch housing when it was
out, you would understand why.

Hello List, I have a few questions for you.

1.  What color are the safety hooks on the bonnet?  I assume body color?

2.  The rubber hood bumpers around the front shroud opening.  Are they held on
by split rivets or regular rivets? Does this rivet go through from the outside
to engine side or vice versa?



Comments on new parts:
I just installed a repo rear bumper on new bumper brackets.  They required a
lot of adjustments to make them fit together.  I also noticed that license
plate/light holder did not fit on the bumper.

1. You are right, the safety hooks are body colour.

2. They are held by split rivets that enter the rubber bumper from the engine
bay into the hole in the shroud but does not penetrate the other side of the
rubber. Your rubber bumpers should be slightly shorter on the channel side of
the shroud.

Jerry,

1. Safety hooks on the bonnet are body colour.

2. Rubber split bonnet rubbers are fastened on by split rivets with washers 
under the head going outboard with heads inboard, through the longer half of 
the rubber, through the shroud flange, the ends then being spread flat. The 
easiest way to do this is to begin with the rubbers turned completely upside 
down, installing the rivet and spreading it flat, then carefully turning the 
rubber around to right side up, making sure the outer half is eased into the 
shroud flange trough.

I made a mistake here, I was thinking of the rubber bumpers on the inner

Jerry -

For some reason the repro rear bumpers are fitted with metric nuts, that's
why the license plate holder don't fit.  BTW, if you are building your car
to concours standard I would spend the time to look for an OEM bumper and
have it restored - the shape of the repros are visibly different, and
cheaper build quality.

I think other people answered the other questions.

Message-ID: <d9b7a14d0812151328i2363e57dl33289bb70f131302@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I'm trying to remove the lock from my glove box.   I removed the three
screws holding the chrome plate and the chome plate.  I can see the
latch and a locking ring that goes around the lock.

The latch seems to be firmly attached to the lock.   Is there a trick
to seperating the latch from the rest of the lock.   This looks like
it should be pretty simple, but I can't pop the latch out, and I don't
want to break something by forcing it when I shouldn't.

thanks,

Tom

On the underside of the chrome cylinder of the latch is a little teeny
tiny slotted screw.  You have to remove this first.  DON'T LOSE THIS
SCREW!

Message-ID: <BLU105-W31A4D57A17BF3DDD1B9D25D5F40@phx.gbl>

Guys

Any advice please. I have changed to right hand drive and had problems with
the conversion; the throttle spring being too small for the throttle shaft and
have had to emery paper the shaft so there is not too much resistance on the
return action.

Now on fitting the new type poly bushes to the old throttle cross shaft it has
again gripped this shaft too tightly when bolted up underneath the gearbox
aperture (the bushes were loose on the shaft until the brackets were
tightened). Has anyone else had this problem? It will turn but I guess is far
too tight for the return springs on throttle and carbs. How slack should it
be? Its the last job before the engine goes in, except for filling and
bleeding the hydraulics and perhaps dropping a battery in to double check the
electrics.

many thanks Andy

Andy -

The old felt bushes used on the cross shaft allowed for quite a bit of
play, esp. for manufactered inconsitencies in the shape or
straightness of the cross shaft.

The new teflon bushes are FAR superior, for sure, but may need to be
reamed out sufficiently to allow for free play - your throttle shaft
has to be free moving and loose otherwise your throttle will never
work properly.  The worst part of it all is once the motor is in you
basically cannot access this shaft without removing the motor again!

I'd recommend taking it out and reaming the bushes slightly, bit by
bit, with a Dremel tool until the shaft moves very freely when
mounted.  You may have to iterate this step in and out of the car a
few times until you get it right.  The good thing is once you get it
done poperly, you'll never have to touch it again.

Fellow Healeyoids,
I would like to just bolt the trailer to my basement wall and make a bar out
of it.  That reminds me.  There used to be a restaurant in Kansas City and
it had a Healey for the salad bar.  Condiments in the boot.  I would have
rigged it so that you put your salad under the sump and depress the throttle
to get your salad oiled.

Thank you to those that responded to my question.

Without your help my restoration and modification project would be a great
deal more difficult.

WOW! I know I said that bigger is better, but 25mm is almost an inch. Any of
these cables would be massive overkill. The 2AWG I used is approximately 12mm
with the insulation on. That is slightly larger than a normal battery cable
(about 10mm on my Land Rover). Remember that whatever you choose you are going
to have to solder a connector on the end. I don't think battery cable ends
come that large. The amount of material in a cable increases as the square of
the radius so a length of 25mm cable will weigh as much as four equivalent
lengths of 12.5mm cable. That might be enough of copper to make a decent down
payment on a new wire wheel or something. If there is an electrical utility
contractor around maybe they will have some cut offs ends you could look
through, sometimes they will sell these for the weight of the copper.Good luck
in your quest.Bill Lawrence > From: keithbailey5 at bigpond.com> To:

Hi Randy, that Healey was a Factory 100M and was restored by  
Fourintune a number of years ago. It is now for sale in CA for $142,900.

Without the condiments!  :-)

Interesting story about the salad bar Healey.

If it's the same car I know about it was "rescued" by a friend back in the 
early 90's. It was a factory M that had been Florida Green and OEW and was 
completely restored back to same.

My various door locks and trunk were in bad shape so I bought new from MOSS.
I did not have a key to the ignition, so I bought a blank from MOSS.   So I
got the doors to open to the same key.  The trunk uses a different blank, as
does the ignition.   Any ideas to simplify the number of keys.   PS:  I do
have a key to the glove box.

Randy are you sure the restaurant with the Healey for the salad bar wasn't 
in Omaha?  If not there were two of them, as I know Omaha had one in the 
80s, I believe it was either a Godfather's Pizza or Spaghetti Works, but I 
could be wrong, know there was one there though.

Fellow Healeyoids,
My brother is a fellow Healeyoid (1964 BJ7 owner) and he corrected me.  The
salad bar was in a restaurant in Omaha, NE.  He is researching the name of
the place for me.

Russ and list

Many thanks for the constructive reply, and all because I agreed with a well
written and constructive criticism on the way the Uk Healey club was run many
moons ago. Must of upset someone.

Sorry to copy the list, but surprised there are replies of this standing from
the Austin Healey club uk.

A very dissappointed
Andy
ps. thanks Alan. Norman etc for the more constructive reply.

I have big feet, and am having trouble with the small, close together pedals
on my BT7. I am told that some race shops make custom pedals. I need larger
pedals, perhaps offset to the lift a little bit to separate the pedals more.


Anyone with the same problem have a solution?

I have size 14's which make it a bit of a problem as well for not just the
Healey but my other casr which I DE quite a bit.  I finally bought a pair of
driving shoes (Piloti's in this case) and that helped quite a bit.

If you want something a little more dressy, and even narrower than Pilotis,
www.ZAPPOS.com has a great pair of leather Adidas driving shoes, called
"O-Type" shoes

zeta.zappos.com/product/7370311/color/126185

They're marked down to $81. I wear mine anytime I have to wear a sportcoat
and/or tie and will still be driving my Healey (or making a fashion statement
that I'm a cool boy racer).

No commercial interest,

Cheers

As I recall one of the pedals is a solid block that bolts next to the swing  
arm and the other one has two ears that straddle the swing arm. You can move  
them around to gain more space but I forget how you do it. I did do it 
correctly  on my BJ8 and notice my BN4 has less room.
 
Can someone provide the proper locations of the foot pedals?

Jim,

The brake pedal straddles the lever arm, the clutch is offset to the left 
of the arm.  Depending on the year, the brake and clutch pedals are the 
same part number. There are two round spacers that fill the slot for the 
clutch pedal. Starting at 16039 BN7, 15881 BT7 the clutch pedal became 
"solid" and the spacers were dropped.

My brother just emailed me and he said that he thought that the restaurant
with the Healey salad bar was called Pepperonis.  I wonder if there are
still some croutons between the seats.

Randy are you sure the restaurant with the Healey for the salad bar wasn't 
in Omaha?  If not there were two of them, as I know Omaha had one in the 
80s, I believe it was either a Godfather's Pizza or Spaghetti Works, but I 
could be wrong, know there was one there though.

That rings a bell, but now that you mention it I think I've got it, 
Pefferonis was the name, at least that was the name of a chain of pizza 
restaurants in Omaha at that time, and it coincides with my memory of it 
being a pizza or Italian place.  I live in Lincoln, but have car freinds in 
Omaha who I know remember it, will see if I can get some pics for the

I lived in Omaha for three years in the late 70's.  Don't remember the Healey bar then---but maybe it wasn't there then.  But--there was a wonderful Italian rest on the North side called "Mr------------- ?  Can't remember the name, but it was GOOD.

The formula is  pi times radius squared....I.e 3.1416 X 3mm X 3mm = 28.274
mm squared (in the case of 6mm diameter cable)
..............see????    There is at least one of us who remembers high
school maths....lol

(sorry.... the engineer in me just had to speak up.)  (Note that I did not
say Physicist... in which case the number pi would have been expressed to at

even more obnoxious...)

I also have a classic 1950 Dodge Coronet 4 door sedan with Gyromatic Transmission which I find it to be an absolute delight. Mine also has a history, but not quite as amazing as this one. When I restored it (actually restoration was mostly done by Malcolm Jennings in Westbury NY) we found it to be almost perfect under the old paint.  So good, that we left the original under coating untouched prior to applying new paint.  The body required only repair of the right rear fender and replacing or replating most of the brite metal.  The most amazing feature is that you get to really see how amazing my 63 BJ7 really was, compared to the cars of it's day.

Try driving my '52 Austin Atlantic.  Good fun but I never would have bought
one of these new, the car is not all that easy to drive compared to the
Healey.  Strangely the A90 is far more substantially built, but the Healey
is far easier to drive.  Floor shift in those old cars is there for a
reason.  New cars, I'd probably rather have column shift though!

at that time.  I decided to take it apart and get the turn signal re chromed.
Removed the plastic and paper protecting it and the bakelite part of the

I had model glue but that does not dry fast enough.    I Used the model glue
on one of the tabs that broke off on the horn part.

My question is I would like it reinforced so it wonbt fall apart after prime

Ron -

Most glues won't be strong enough to keep this together.  I think the best
you can hope for is to purchase some JB Weld and use that, it's pretty much
the strongest adhesive out there.

By the way, you don't want to paint the trafficator.  You will get better
long term results if you dye it using India ink then polish it with car wax.

I used JB Weld last JUne, It lasted almost 2 weeks. Of course that was about
4000 miles. 
So if you won't be doing a cross country trip the JB Weld may
satisfactory for your needs.

Ron:
I use a two part epoxy called PC-7 to repair cracks in the steering wheel, it
should also work with the traficator. I also have some spare parts from a used
traficator, perhaps send photos to see what you need. I also agree with the
comment that was made not to paint the bakelite, I first wash it thoroughly
with mild soap and hot water, then sand it lightly with 1000 paper, I then
apply India ink, let it dry then I apply shoe polish and polish it. I then
finish it with a good car wax and it looks just like new, not too shiny and
unlike the paint it won't flake off.

I would appreciate the same information along with the distance between them

Anyone ever had a rear end vibration at that osculates every 2 or 3 seconds
in OD at about 60 MPH.  It almost feels like the rear end differential gears
are not matched up.  A small amount of noise is emitted but I would not call
it a growl.  After I let off the gas and then continue at 60 it seems to get
better but is still there.  Cannot rule out the transmition but it seems to
be coming from the back.  It's been like this for many years.  Tried
tighting the pinion nut and replaced the seal which was leaking.

Speaking of holes, my BJ8 has a few (apparently) factory-installed holes in the frame rails.  These would make sense for drainage, but they're (supposed to be) plugged with rubber plugs.  But, our BN2 does not have these holes--anyone know why?  BMC's idea of a chassis lightening program?  Do others' BJX cars have them (could be someone drilled them, but they look "factory")?

Yes my bj8 also had about 6 larger holes plugged with rubber bungs, they had
kind of melted when I pulled them out. We reused the holes as well as drilling
extras to inject waxoyl after the chassis was repaired.> From:

Near as we can tell these seem to be fixture locating holes for the jigs 
Jensen used when assembling these chassis.

Nice try, right in principal,

Only thing you forgot is that most larger cables are stranded and not solid,
so there are gaps between each strand, let me know the equation for that one
:)

I think the wholes in the frames are different, depending on the modell. I am
just working on the frame of my 62 BT7 MK2. The usual distances between the
wholes for the battery cable and the wiring harness are about 11 inches
(27cm). But on the wiring harness side there are also holes in-between these.
It seems not all where used to fix the clips. About 3 or 4 were without any
use as far as I can see on my frame. So also for me it would be really helpful
to get a template or whatsoever to know which holes where for the clips
screws. The diameter of the wholes on my car is about 3.5 mm.

Zappos has stores? Why would they want stores? This has been my wife's
favorite website for years. Order three pairs in varying sizes, send back the
two
that don't fit with them paying shipping costs.

So, There's been a lot of sad news in the Healey world in the last couple weks.

I have some good news! My son, Jensen Findlay Kerr, was born
yesterday, December 16th at 8:15 am.

He is 6lbs 3oz, 19 Inches. Now, family tradition is that first born
son starts with a "J". Hopfully I can convince the wife that the next
one be named Austin or Healey. :)

I have a couple of questions regarding using epoxy to repair the
cracks in the bakelite steering wheels.

After filling the cracks, what did you use to color the epoxy?   Does
the epoxy stain with india ink?

Have you had problems with temperature expansion and contraction
causing new cracks or separating the epoxy from the bakelite?
Temperatures here on the Maine coast range from high 80's F to -20 F.

thanks,

Tom

Ahhh you sound just like my electrical power tutor, dont forget the outer
sheath insulation also affects the current carrying capacity, over here we use
XLPE which has better properties for heating / welding projects, rather than
PVC so its difficult to gauge the size just looking at the outer cable
diameter of welding cable. Was just trying to point out its difficult to gauge
the size of a cable unless you know what it is, and the CSA in electicians
terms is dependant on type of cable, as well as solid or stranded core. The
cable calc would then be affected due to the different volt drop, diversity
applied, installation conditions, etc

I believe the answer would be 42 :)

Humble apologies, all the best Andy

Dan,

I had a vibration in my BJ8 for 25+ years and did several things to address it.  Not much difference.  Then there was a discussion a few years back about out of round and out of balance brake drums.  I  borowed my mechanics old bubble balancer and some weights.  Sure enough!  Both were definitely not balanced.  I proceeded to balance them by welding some 1/4 rod on the perimeter and then grinding to get the best balance I could.  (  It took 1-2 ounces on each one.)  NO MORE SHAKE!  And I have run it up to 90 or so!  Worked out so well I did likewise to the drums on my BN7 and it is much smoother as well.

I would suggest you at least verify that yours are balanced before you go tearing into the diff or tranny.

Well, when we were coming up with baby names I jokingly listed:
Jensen, Austin, Healey, Studebaker, Edsel, and a few others. My wife
just gave me one of "those looks." thn her sistr independently
mentioned the name and it stuck.

Now, here's the fun bit. He's already got his own Jensen Healey at
home and it just happens to be built on my birthday, both daddy and
the car were manufactured in 1974.

G'day Rich

The Austin-Healey chassis is a piece of Healey History that is often
overlooked.

While Jensen Brothers undertook the assembly of the Austin-Healey they
did not make the chassis. It was made by Thompson Motor Pressings of
Wolverhampton and delivered to Jensen for initially assembly before
being trucked to BMC for final assembly.

Thompson Motor Pressings also made chassis for many other manufacturers,
but like so many British companies connected with the automotive
industry went under when the industry self destructed.

It was part of a much larger combine that made anything from electric
stoves to the hardware for nuclear power plants.

Near as we can tell these seem to be fixture locating holes for the jigs

Jensen used when assembling these chassis.

My father was named Austin and being such a drongo I didn't realise the
connection to just 3 years ago, some 33 years after I bought my first
Austin-Healey.

Message-ID: <001701c960b4$839b69b0$6401a8c0@9535DEE118EC44B>

John Thompson Motor Pressings advertised in the British press quite
consistently, particularly in the thick Motor Show numbers.  For example, the
22 Oct.1954 Autocar features a "ghosted" Healey 100, highlighting the frame
and floors (but not the bulkheads).  Copy reads:

"AUSTIN-HEALEY-  The chassis frame of the Austin-Healey 100 is manufactured by
John Thompson Motor Pressings Ltd.   This frame has a number of interesting
features, notably the carbon-arc welded box section of the main members, the
fabricated front suspension members, and the composite construction of frame,
outriggers and floor panels which are designed to integrate with the body
frame and scuttle, thus achieving the required structural rigidity. "

To us, the bulkheads are usually left joined to the frame as a single
structure. It seems that Thompson's regarded the front and rear bulkheads as
"the body frame and scuttle", and considered them to be separate from their
own platform frame.

Best regards
Peter

Congratulations Jodyon your new addition! In 1989 I sold my 1961  Healey to 
pay for a vasectomy reversal, on the 12th of December this year,  my daughter, 
"Austen", celebrated her 18th birthday. We changed the spelling of  her name 
to make it a bit more feminine, but she knows where it came from. And  now

If our child was a girl, I was really laying it in pretty heavy to wife that

G'day

Congratulations to you all and let me know if the Vegemite gets in short
supply as I can send you some.

Just in case you have forgotten the words to the Vegemite lullaby here
they are:-

"We're happy little Vegemites, as bright as bright can be,
We all enjoy our Vegemite for breakfast, lunch and tea,
Our mummies say we're growing stronger every single week,
Because we love our Vegemite,
We all adore our Vegemite,
It puts a rose in every cheek."

Now you can sing Jensen to sleep every night with a dinki di Australian
song.

I've not heard that since I was little! My grandmum used to sing that!
Now I'm going to have to scour the internet for a sound file of the
song.

Thanks for the flashback!

My Grandfather was called Austin.
If my surname was Healey, not so rare in UK, I could never call a son Austin
as did the UK rugger player's parents.

So, There's been a lot of sad news in the Healey world in the last
couple weks.

I have some good news! My son, Jensen Findlay Kerr, was born
yesterday, December 16th at 8:15 am.

He is 6lbs 3oz, 19 Inches. Now, family tradition is that first born
son starts with a "J". Hopfully I can convince the wife that the next
one be named Austin or Healey. :)

Guys

I know its been discussed lately on removing the 2 rear silencers on a BJ8
making it more straight thru. It seems that Double S Exhausts actually make a
stainless system that does this especially for the BJ8 with just the front
boxes, AH Spares list it and you can actually buy direct from Double S.

Has anyone tried one? nice noise? good fit etc?

cheers Andy

The best one for that would be to pitch Jensen Interceptor Kerr to the
wife first, then compromise back to Jensen Healey Kerr, then she will
feel like she won.

Andy, I had the same question as I plan to drop my rear cross boxes in a year
or so.

Folks have said that the side exhaust system is very noisy - so I have
eliminated that option.

I plan to run 2 pipes back to the drivers side - will be noisier than the
stock system, but I can live with that I hope.  Folks have said that it is
reasonable.

I ran the pipes to the back and then across to the passenger side (with no
silencers)......a little quieter for the driver.

Luckily for me I have converted to RHD so the pipes will be behind the good
strife.

It should be more balanced than removing the rear silencers from an existing
system. Hopefully it will be a nice sporty sound without being over the top,
but then again my Ducati has twin 45mm carbonTermignoni's, and they can set
car alarms off!!!

Heres the Double S system:

Hi Andy,

 

The front silencers look the same as that for the full system...have they
simply removed the rear ones to come up with this system?

Luckily for me I have converted to RHD so the pipes will be behind the good
strife.
 
It should be more balanced than removing the rear silencers from an existing
system. Hopefully it will be a nice sporty sound without being over the top,
but then again my Ducati has twin 45mm carbonTermignoni's, and they can set
car alarms off!!!
 
Heres the Double S system:

The full ss system is made by Bell, the sports with back boxes by Pheonix
(needs header as well) and the sports without boxes by Double S, so all made
individually. I am sure the silencers are packed for the correct back
pressure, sound etc for each system?

You're all trumped by a friend of ours here in PA named Greg Healey  -- he 
named his son Jensen, and he doesn't even own a Healey!   (though he is 
thinking of buying a Tr***ph....)  By the time the kid is old enough to 
drive, will any of his peers even "get" the name, I wonder???

I do not have a specific photo of a frame showing the holes on my web site
however, if you take a look at the various restoration photos on the
Important Links page you may find what you want. The best and most detailed
are those by Linwood Rose. Suggest you go to:
http://web.mac.com/linwoodrose/My_AH_3000_BT7_/Restoration_Blog/Restoration_
Blog.html     When on this page, scroll to the bottom and click on archives.
Scroll down to assembly week one and start there. There are several closeup
photos of the routing of the various brake and fuel lines. Go forward by
week from there to see the routing of the wiring  harness, etc.

Wonderful photos AND narrative.

James,

A Healey who done it?

This might sound weird but check the trunions on your brake and clutch
pedals that they are not worn or that the holes in the pedal levers have not
oblongated.

Check that the front wing bolts under the R&L posts are not loose as well as
insure the shroud to wing bolts are all tight.  Some of these are so hard to
get to they sometimes don't get fully tightened even by the best of
tinkerers.

If any of these type of fasteners are loose their knocks echo and travel
seemingly "throwing a voice" or "sound traveling".

Both of the above had me inspecting front end components since finding just
where the sound was coming from was impossible.

Have the shock towers ever been replaced?

Did you drop tools down the frames "black holes" that might clink, clunk?

Brake pads and shoes sometimes move and clunk within their beds when
direction or pressure is applied.

Don't give up.  I bet it is a washer or other finger tight fastener that
moves about and echoes down the chassis rails.

An older, white haired man walked into a jewelry store one Friday evening with
a beautiful young gal at his side.



He told the jeweler he was looking for a special ring for his girlfriend.



The jeweler looked through his stock and brought out a $5,000 ring.



The old man said, 'No, I'd like to see something more special.'



At that statement, the jeweler went to his special stock and brought another
ring over. 'Here's a stunning ring at only $40,000' the jeweler said..



The young lady's eyes sparkled and her whole body trembled with excitement.



The old man seeing this said, 'We'll take it.'



The jeweler asked how payment would be made and the old man stated, 'by check.
I know you need to make sure my check is good, so I'll write it now and you
can call the bank Monday to verify the funds and I'll pick the ring up Monday
afternoon,' he said.



Monday morning, the jeweler phoned the old man. 'There's no money in that
account.'



'I know,' said the old man, 'But let me tell you about my weekend!'

Message-ID: <be1.4c1a8ae5.367d1f64@aol.com>

First time sex 
 
A girl asks her  boyfriend to come over Friday night to meet, 
and have dinner with her parents. Since this is  such 
a big event, the girl announces to her boyfriend  that 
after dinner, she would like to go out and make love for  the first time  
The boy is ecstatic, but  he has never had sex 
before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacist to  get 
some condoms. He tells the pharmacist it's his  first 
time and the pharmacist helps the boy for about an  hour. 
He tells the boy everything there is to know  about 
condoms and sex. 
A t the register, the  pharmacist asks the boy how many 
condoms he'd like to buy, a 3-pack, 10-pack, or family  pack. 
T he boy insists on the family pack because  he 
thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time  and all. 
That night, the boy shows up at the girl's parents  house 
and meets his girlfriend at the door. 'Oh, I'm so  excited 
for you to meet my parents, come on in!' 
The boy goes inside and  is taken to the dinner table 
where the girl's parents are seated. The boy  quickly 
offers to say grace and bows his head. 
A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in  prayer, 
with his head down. 
10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the  boy. 
Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down,  the 
girlfriend leans over and whispers to the  boyfriend, 
'I had no idea you were this religious.' 
The boy turns, and whispers back, 'I had no  idea 
your father was a pharmacist.'

List Friends,

Does anyone out there have detailed pictures of a BJ7 front shroud that 
shows the front grill clips and details of the fit with adjacent fenders? 
I've researched the usual catalogs and restoration  manuals, but don't see 
the needed detail needed for mounting the grill surround, grill and eyebrow. 
(This project is my first AH and I have no local '7s' to inspect.)

As always, thanks in advance for any assistance provided.

Respond to my email:  ronhuseman at sbcglobal.net or to List address.

British Car Specialists (Norman Nock) list one for the non-adjustable steering
but this is not the one you need. Perhaps he had the one for the BJ8 as well,
I know you can get one with the whole traficator unit. SC Parts in England has
a parts number listed for them, check their website, otherwise a used one is
another option.

Message-ID: <002c01c9629c$0e9b5190$4001a8c0@markl946cfrd7q>

I have rereviewed some of the online pictures and personal file pictures.   I
was really
hoping that I would never have to travel down this path again in my life time.
However,
I have installed my adjustable trafficator after dubious fiddling and diddling
around,
collecting replacement parts and restoring ideas, only to now witness a very
loose
chrome turn signal lever now that the whole thing is installed.

Is there a hidden peep hole/ access hole in which to insert a jewelers screw
driver and tighten
this thing up or is this just another gotcha Healeyism that I should have been
more focused on
when I was in there.

If no access hole,  then simplest ,  non-pita procedure

Thanks,   Mark

There is a simple procedure for tightening the screw that holds the arm
on....
Take the switch out, disassemble it completely, and tighten the screw.
Assembly is the reverse....etc...
If they made it easy everyone would be doing it...
Something to keep you amused over the holidays.

Ok,  how do you get this badge to conform to the trunk curve without breaking
them.  I have just broken the 2nd one.  Both are MOSS parts.  The second one I
heated up in boiling water to see if that would help.

Subject: [Healeys] WG:   Holes in Frame Rails
Message-ID: <63B1A4D5F62C7B458A5B757A5EA81750050E1B62@S4DE8PSAANH.t-systems.com>

 Now I can give specific measurements for the wiring loom and battery
cable holes in a frame of a 62 BT7 MK2. The car is very original with
all original panels except outer sills.

To start with the battery cable holes. There are 8 holes. The second
hole from the rear is where the rear part of the cross part meets the
main frame rail. The hole is  mid between the welding seem of the cross
part and the rear edge of it. The first hole from the rear is 27.3 cm
back. The third hole is 27.2cm front of the starting second hole. 4th
another 27.3cm, 5th another 27.3cm, 6th another 27.2cm, 7th another
27.9cm, 8th another 15.3cm.
These were already drilled in where the frame was manufactured.

Now to the wiring loom, which is a bit more complicated. Here I found 11
holes. The second hole from the rear is at the same place on the left as
for the battery cable on the right frame rail. The first hole from the
rear is also 27.3 cm back. This hole was not used for a clip. The third
hole is 27.2cm front of the starting second hole. 4th another 11.0cm,
5th another 16.3cm, 6th another 14.3cm, 7th another 13.0cm, 8th another
27.1cm, 9th another 20.3cm, 10th another 7.8cm, 11th another cm, 8th
another 30.4cm.  At number 1, 4 (not sure), 10 and 11 no clip was fixed.
Number 4, 6 and 9 were drilled in at a later stage, perhaps at the
assembly line.
All holes are drilled in about 7 to 8mm from the edge and have diameter
of about 3.5 mm.

Hope this helps a bit. For me I would like to know the reason of the
additionally drilled in holes. Number 9 is because the wiring loom is
routed down at this point from the engine compartment.

I just went to the site and read about it. If I read it right, it kills the 
o/d if you change gears....so you can't go from 3rd over to 4th over? When I 
drive a BN1 I usually go 1st, 2nd, 2nd o/d, then right to 3rd o/d. I 
wouldn't want some idiot control device kicking the o/d out between those 
gear changes.

Garys question referred to fitting his BJ8 with Logic Control to prevent
damage from reverse being selected while the overdrive is engaged. 
 
So what does the interrupter switch do that is already fitted to the Austin
Healey with overdrive?
 
In an article earlier this year, Gary Hemphill wrote: BN2 through the BJ8
models have an interrupter switch that will allow the overdrive to only
engage in 3rd and 4th gear.  This also serves as a safety device to keep the
OD from being engaged in reverse.  It seems as though the inners of the
overdrive do not like turning backwards.  See: http://tinyurl.com/8j7ws2  or
 http://capitalhealeys.org/Assets/Miscellaneous/HHR%20pdfs/hhr_May_08.pdf
 
>From everything I have read and been told, if this interrupter switch
malfunctions then DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR CAR INTO REVERSE WHILE IN OVERDRIVE.

What is the difference between a geared starter and regular starter?
 
Are there any special things I should know when removing the starter and  
installing the new one?
 
Where would you suggest that I purchase the new starter?

Jon and all,
The gear reduction starter was highly recommended by many in A-H forum. Since
I was replacing my clutch, I decided to put in a new flywheel ring gear along
with the new geared starter. The problem I encountered was that the new
starter (since it uses a solenoid to thrust the gear end   forward into the
ring
gear) would not mesh. The new ring gear is only beveled on the transmission
side
and works great with the original bendix type starter that draws the starter
gear back into this side of ring gear. The new geared starter unless perfectly
aligned just bangs up against the square cut side of ring gear.
Are ring gears normally only beveled or tapered on one side? Should this
geared starter work? I left several email messages with British Starters but
never
got a response.
Don't know if this helps decision. Just my experience as a novice.
Eric

Also, everyone have a great Holiday!

Hi all,

I had Eric at Absolutely British put one on my BN1, so I don't know if 
he had to do anything special.  I love it.  Car fires right up even 
after sitting for a while.  I'd certainly recommend going with the gear 
reduction.

Jon:  I have the gear reduction starter on my BJ8.  It works fine with the 
original ring gear.  The only problem I had installing it was interference 
by the hydraulic line to the clutch slave cylinder.  Some judicious bending 
of the bracket on the frame where the line connects solved the problem.

Hi Jon,

You could try www.Britishstarter.com $189.00 US for a AH reduction starter .

Yes, and the switch is normally open (fail safe) therefore it would  have to 
be stuck closed (the 3 & 4th gear position, only) for you to be able  to 
engage reverse (or 1st or 2nd) in overdrive. Not very likely.

Listers,

Moss lists three different clutch release bearings for the 6 cylinders.

501-022  BN4, BN6
501-020  BN7, BT7, BJ7 to 29F-H4878
501-032  BJ7 from 29F-H4879, BJ8

I have a new bearing - how can I identify which application it's for? I 
know that one of the differences is the thickness - from the pivot to the 
front face (of the holder).

Bob
The offset (distance)  on the release bearing (carbon) from the center of the pivot to the face of the carbon doughnut is different for each one because of the three different clutch cover (pressure plate) assemblies used. They are 9", 10" and 9 1/2" from earliest to latest cars. 

The offsets differ by approximately 1/4".  The thickest clutch cover is the 10" unit with uninstalled distance from mounting face (where it connects to the flywheel) to the surface that the carbon bearing rides measures about 3",  followed by the 9" at 2 3/4" and then the later 9 1/2" diaphragm clutch at 2 1/2". Of course this distance changes when the clutch disc and pressure plate are bolted to the flywheel. The 9 1/2" clutch pack uses a release bearing that measures 1 1/4 " as measured per my first sentence.  

As an aside to this, some of the newer Country brand release bearings for the 9 1/2" clutch have been 1/8 inch or more thicker than the standard.  This causes a constant contact on the carbon when first installed and as a result a smoky clutch.  Reference: See my email request of six+ months ago. The bearing wears down quickly but as a result destroys the tight fit on the carbon doughnut and subsequent bearing failure. No fun!

Material can be removed from the bearing but must be flat, reasonably smooth and parallel to the pivot axis. Using the previously mentioned 1 1/4" dimension should work. Flat belt or large disc sander with a couple different grits should do the job. Remove a bit and measure often.

HELP

I an building a spare street 3000 engine from parts acquired years ago. Had
the crank turned 10 under both mains and rod journals as I had new 10 under
main and rod bearings.  Took my rods to my trusted machine shop for
inspection and balance. Bad news. Several of the big ends were out of round
by up to 2.5 to 3 thousands. Called a Healey racing friend who generously
gave me a set of stock rods he had laying around, as he uses special rods
for racing. Report from machine shop, not much better than my originals. Out
of round about the same. Big end measured with caps torqued to 50 ft lbs.
The original rods had +15 stamped on the side of the big end. The second set
had +10 to +16 stamped on them. 

Questions

1.	What do the numbers stamped on the rods mean? Are they factory?
2.	Is there a substitute rod that will work? Please do not recommend
Carrillo. 

One fix is to grind material off the rod end and the cap and resize the big
end. Machine shop says about $400.

A second option would be over size OD bearing shells, thus a simple honing
of the big end. Does any one know if these are available?

A third option are used rods fro UK. $130 each. But how do I know these will
have round big ends?

Any advice is welcome.

Hi Herb,
Resizing the big end of the rod as you describe is a very common maching
shop procedure. I have had this done on many race engines with total
success. $400 sounds a little steep, usually about $35 per rod up our way. 
If you are looking for a supplier of custom rods I would strongly recommend
Saenz Rods which I have used in several engines. They really are works of
art. 
You mention oversizing the OD of the big ends as a solution. I have done
this with the engine in AHX12 which now uses shells from a Continental
engine. 
If you want used rods, I have lots.

A third option are used rods fro UK. $130 each. But how do I know these will
have round big ends?

Any advice is welcome.

Hi,

 

Couple of questions for the forum..

 

1.	I just purchased a new set of rear drums for my 59 BT7 from Moss.
The outside of the drum is smooth and does not have the "ribs" (which I
pulled off the car - cannot confirm if these were every replaced). Which are
correct? My car was shipped from the factory with wire wheels and has front
discs.

 

2.	My car does not appear to be numbers matching. engine is a #26 when
should be 29D-RU-H/239. However, the badges and steering horn button all say
"100/6". The car/chassis number and body number match (chassis = HBT7L/181 :
Body 152) and the original color matches on the BMHT factory record of Green
over Green (sorry but not the color it will be after the resto!). What are
the chances that someone thru the years put the 100/6 ID badges/horn on the
car thinking it was a 100/6? I find it hard to believe the factory would do
this.

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Some early 3000's were badged 100-Six.   One of the club magizines had
a feature of a 100-Six badged BN7 a couple of years ago, and i think
it was a lister.   Here is a link describing it as well

http://www.healeysix.net/BN7%20&%20BT7.htm

It sounds like you may have another one of those cars.

Simon,

1. The rear drums on a wire wheel car should have the ribs around the 
perimeter of the drum. The ribs make for a greater surface cooling area. 
Send those Moss things back. It's extremely rare that rear drums ever need 
replacing, they wear very little. Have you thrown the originals away yet? 
Check them out, they are probably well within tolerances.

2. Such an early 3000 as yours will most definitely be badged with 100/Six 
badges. You mention duo tone Green. Lucky fellow! That would likely have 
been Pacific Green and Florida Green. The interior would have been grey 
(more of a buff colour) with dark green piping and carpets. Top and tonneau 
cover would also have been the buff Grey colour. Certainly it's your car to 
do with as you wish but it's a shame if you don't do it back into those so 
distinctive period colours.

I have Saenz rods in my racing MGA engine, built for me a year ago. My
mechanic - who has built lots and lots of engines, says he has lost confidence
in
Carillo, says its just a bunch of new guys who don't know what they're doing,
charging prices based on the name alone. He continues to have good luck with
Saenz rods, and the company seems to be doing great work. Take some pics of
the
rods, pistons, and crank shaft before you put the engine together, because
good
ones are works of art, that hopefully, you'll never see again.
Best for the season,

My early Bt7 had a 100-6 horn button. It apparently isn't well know that the
factory simply used up noncritical old parts when a model change took place.
I guess they didn't think the correct horn button was critical.

I replace mine with another 100-6 horn button.

I guess that this string just bears out the fact that at that time, the
various Brit entities were interested in building cars using whatever was at
hand rather than considering what owners 50 years later would think proper
standards should have been at particular cut off dates.

John,

Just remember the book I suggested about the decline of the British auto
industry.

Arrogance and the customer be damned attitude killed the industry.

I have a great example of that attitude. It is called the MGC. It was just a
few tweaks away from being a great road car, but out it went with almost no
handling, and a weak 6 cylinder engine. The Healey BT7 engine is so much
better than the C, it is pitiful. Then BMC had the gall to suggest rebadging
the C as a Healey. EEECH!

New Spax shocks all around, and an uprated front roll bar tamed the beast,
but with that lump of iron, it never would handle like B, and definitely not
like a Healey. I did 968 miles from Pensacola, FL, to Downers Grove. IL in
18 hours. Loved every minute of it.

G'day

 

I have just sent the below press releases to AH clubs and thought you would
like to see it as well. Of course there are no photos attached, but if you
would like to see what the Streamliner looks like just let me know and I
will send.

 

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Day.

AUSTIN-HEALEYS RETURN TO BONNEVILLE

 

Most Austin-Healey owners would be well aware of the heritage that our cars
enjoy. We have read about the successes of the marque in such iconic events
as Le Mans, Sebring and the Liege-Rome-Liege. Many of us would also know of
the successes that Donald Healey himself had on the salt flats of Bonneville
from 1953 to 1956. 

 

In what will no doubt be the most exciting event in modern Austin-Healey
history, two very special Austin-Healey 100s reconstructed in Australia, are
set to return to the Bonneville Salt Flats in 2009.

 

In 1953 the Donald Healey Motor Company built a special Austin-Healey 100
with the aim of setting both high speed as well as endurance records. This
car, looking not too dissimilar to a standard 100 was driven by Donald
Healey himself, George Eyston, Carroll Shelby, Mort Goodall and Roy Jackson
Moore.

 

The following year they went back, more ambitious than before. Not only did
they return with the more developed Endurance car from the year before, but
also a special Streamliner that was based on a standard chassis, but with
its body fitted with an extended nose and tail plus a stabilising fin.

 

The endurance car went on to bag a whole raft of long-distance records from
200km to 5,000km and 1 to 24 hours, while the Streamliner, with Donald
Healey at the wheel achieved a high of 192.74 mph. 

 

While the two cars were brought back to England, the Streamliner returned to
Bonneville in 1956 with further modifications and 100-Six power where it was
even more successful.

PART 2

 

Both eventually succumbed to the ravages of the salt; however bits and
pieces were known to survive. Decades later Dutch Austin-Healey enthusiast
Wiet Huidekoper in a world wide search located many of these actual parts.
Wiet formed a plan together with well known Australian Austin-Healey expert
Steve Pike of reconstructing the cars and reliving the events of 1954 on the
Bonneville salt. 

 

Steve is a long term Austin-Healey enthusiast and along with his team at
Marsh Classic Restorations has been restoring cars of the marque since the
1970s and enjoys a worldwide reputation as the expert on the 100S.

 

With access to Geoff Healey's personal records and design drawings as well
as the historic parts both cars are nearing completion and the target is to
debut the endurance car in March 2009 at the Historic races at Phillip
Island, Australia. The body/chassis of the Streamliner has been completed
and from the attached photos looks just stunning. As originally, both cars
will have early versions of the 100S engines. The Endurance car's highly
tuned engine will have an original "angle-faced head" and will be stopped by
an early version of the smaller twin-piston brake callipers that were later
developed for the 100S production racers. As originally the Streamliner will
be supercharged and fitted with a variant of the original David Brown
5-speed gearbox. As the two cars have been reconstructed around the remains
of what has been left, the souls of the 1954 cars have been brought back to
life.

 

The team behind this most exciting Austin-Healey venture have set-up a
website so that Austin-Healey enthusiasts around the world can keep across
the events as they occur.

Listers,

A while back, there was a discussion on the types of liners used between leafs on rear springs.  According to my catalogs, the later cars used rubber strips, but our BN2 has metal strips which, if I recall, are made of zinc.

Does anyone know the type of zinc alloy (or pure zinc) used?  Also, does anyone know a source for the strips or for zinc sheet in the correct type and thickness?  Alternatives (think teflon was mentioned)?

TIA,
Bob

G'day Bob

Over the years I have tried every product available short of vitreous
enamelling and each time it has always reverted to - RUST!

Even had them blasted and professionally coated and still after a few months
- beautiful RUST.

I've given up!

Hi, Bob -
I had the exhaust manifolds on my BJ8 Jet-Hot coated with their aluminum
coating in February 1998.  After 63,000 miles the coating appears to be as
good as new, with only some very slight rusting evident at some places on
the sharp corners and an overall dulling of the aluminum finish.  I've been
very happy with Jet-Hot.

Bob,

I had my exhaust manifolds done by Jet Hot during the restoration and am
pleased so far.  They have been on for over 10K miles of highway driving last
year and they look as good as they did when installed.  The color I chose was
silver but they offer black and maybe some others as well.  Turn around time
is pretty quick if I recall(around a week) and the price was around $170 plus
shipping.

Take care,

Bob,

When I re did my leaf springs I checked all the spring shops in my area 
(metro Detroit) and struck out as far as finding the proper zinc 
material.  I decided against teflon because I wanted to stay as 
original.  I finally found a source that has the proper thickness (they 
use it to make kitchen counter tops) and had them ship me a big roll of 
it.  I used what I needed from it and my repair shop that rebuilt my 
springs now has the rest of it.  If you like I can furnish more details. 
   Maybe my shop will cut the required pieces and send them to you for a 
reasonable price.

Regards,
Dan

must be 5 or six years by now. both look new.

Hi,

        In NJ there may be a reason for that.  If you put them in the 
window you could be subject to
a ticket for the "obstruction of vision" or fail the state inspection.

          Of course EZ-Pass and State inspection stickers are OK.

Bob,

I can recommend that a properly applied high temp metallic ceramic exhaust
coating (nornally, just called "ceramic coatings") is the way to go.
Whether you use Jet-Hot, HPC, or a local exhaust coating service provider,
like myself, it should give you years of trouble free service.

Although it is claimed by exhaust coatings manufacturers that there is
reduction of underhood temps, it may be difficult to realize how much in a
street car under normal use.  Racers using big bore headers may be able to
see a noticeable difference, but side-by-side compasison tests of coated
versus uncoated exhaust parts, under the same conditions, would have to be
conducted to really see how much.

The main reason I feel to do exhaust coatings is that your don't have to
keep recoating them on a regular basis, improving under bonnet appearance
and the saving of the labor of removing the exhaust system to recoat
manifolds, etc.  Unlike Patrick Quinns' experience, on all the exhaust parts
I have coated over the years, I have never had a customer come back to say
the coating came off or parts started rusting after use.

The black and grey coatings that I use are solvent based and provide a
slightly higher temp protection for the system parts than the silver
coatings, which are water based.  They all work well if properly applied and
properly cured.  It just really depends on which color you prefer.  The
silver coating can be burnished to a very high mirror-like luster.  On our
Healeys none of these coatings are going to be "concours", as the exhaust
manifold was painted engine color with the engine, which quickly burned off
during initial use to leave a manifold that rusted.

I hope this may help.

Hi Neil-
 
I'm just curious as to why none of the Jet Coats, Powder Coats, or High  
Temperature paints have never been done in the Healey engine green? 
How about applying the Healey engine green paint over a Jet Coated  manifold 
just to see how long the color remains before it burns off. Just a  suggestion 
that I thought you might want to try since you are in  that business.

Bob,

I had the zinc only between the fist 3 spring leafs, i.e. there were 2 of
them. I also mailed Rich about it, and he confirmed the number of leafs
could differ.

Be careful with putting too many leafs as the original clamps holding the
springs might be too short to hold the extra thickness...

Also, the leafs are only useful with the longest spring leafs I believe..

Allyn & Gary,
You aren't the only ones out there looking for these.  There is someone 
who is a vendor at the Hershey Fall Meet that sells reproductions of 
these.  There is also an old late forties or early fifties restored 
Chevy Suburban that is at Hershey every year and is set up like a 
fisherman's travel vehicle that has them all over the rear side 
windows.  Many of those are original to the vehicle, but some are 
repros.  Keep looking on the net because I know they are out there 
someplace.  It may be worth buying a copy of Hemmings or going to their 
website and searching there.

Hi Marion,

I suppose that my coatings manufacturer could be approached to try to
replicate a Healey engine color if a "standard" color could be agreed upon by
the concours committees, but I am not sure that has been done.  The
formulating of a color for fairly small batch use may make it cost prohibitive
though.

There are other ceramic exhaust coating colors available besides the ones I
mentioned, but I think they tend to be more brighter colors possibly favored
by the "hot-rod" crowd.  I haven't tried any of those colors for many years.
I had mixed results at that time.  Maybe they cover better now.

As for painting over an exhaust coating with a commercially available Healey
green engine paint, I would assume it may burn off or discolor like being
painted over an uncoated manifold even though the coated manifold may insulate
the paint somewhat.  The paint would still have to be able to withstand
800-1000 degree temps without burning.(exhaust temps usually run about 1100
degrees or more, depending on the application)  It would be worth a try
though.  At worst, you would just end up with a ceramic coated manifold.

I know there isn't a coating that simulates a "rust" appearance.  There is one
called "cast iron grey" that looks like freshly blasted cast iron that I have
done on a couple of Healey manifolds.  At least it doesn't rust.  I would
favor either grey or black on a big Healey, but my Sprite will have a polished
silver LCB header.

I have two black springs that are 7" long end to end (5-1/2" for just

Are these for the pedals or are they even used on an Austin Healey?

Ron,

I'll give you my plate numbers but remember it's not that simple, e.g. my
'55 BN1 built Jan. 11 '55 is registered as a '56 indicating that it was sold
new in '56.  Its original yellow plates with black lettering are *HLD 498*.
And noo, I don't know when in '56 it was sold.  It then was issued black
plates with yellow lettering in '63 with the plate changeover.  This plate
is *QEB 858*.

Our Bugeye is a late one AN5L 43625 built in '60.  It currently has black
plates *KRD 888*, but would have originally had the yellow plates, however I
don't know what they were.

In fact if you remember, when your plates were issued, they gave you a small
colored key fob with the plates. I have both these key fobs for my 100 which
is one reason I know what yellow plates were issued from new.

Cheers,

Curt

PS  The 100 is currently registered with the CA vanity plate "HEALEY."

Message-ID: <811213.85084.qm@web24001.mail.ird.yahoo.com>

I've just been given a Heritage cert for Christmas for my '56 BN2. Everything
matches (including chassis and body numbers) and lines up with what I expected
except the body colour. The PO resprayed it silver with black coves in 1989.
But there is evidence in many places of Healey Blue underneath. So I was
expecting the cert toB sayB Healey Blue (or ice blue or whatever). The
certificate actually says two colour Ivory White and black. I have not found
any evidence of these colours. Apart from the obvious possibility that the car
was completely bare metalled then painted blue at some time in its life, is
this a mistake in the cert, or did some cars get resprayed after leaving the
production line? I would like to know for sure what colour the car was
originally, as I was intending one day to turn it back to original.

Hi, Mike -
I can think of three possibilities for the discrepancy:
1.  Some previous owner took the chassis and body number plates from an
original Ivory over Black car and put them on another car that was Healey
Blue, which you now own.  
2.  A previous owner stripped the car down to the body shell and repainted
it Healey Blue, including all of the out of the way places not normally
involved in a repaint.
3.  The cert is in error.  Having BMIHT certificates for 627 BJ8s in the
registry collection, I have ample evidence that errors on the certs are far
too common, considering what BMIHT is charging for them these days.  In
several cases, I have certs for the same car obtained at different times,
and they have differing details on them.  If BMIHT got the colors wrong,
they will replace the certificate for free.  However, if their records show
your car was Ivory White and Black, they won't change it regardless of what
your facts show.

There may have been cars repainted after they left the production line, but
if so it isn't likely that the total interior was repainted, too.  You
didn't mention whether your engine number matches the cert.  If it does,
then it is more likely that the numbers and your chassis go together.  If
not, or if the engine number is missing, I would suspect you have a
different car than what the chassis and body plates show.

except the body colour. The PO resprayed it silver with black coves in 1989.
But there is evidence in many places of Healey Blue underneath. So I was
expecting the cert toB sayB Healey Blue (or ice blue or whatever). The
certificate actually says two colour Ivory White and black. I have not found
any evidence of these colours. Apart from the obvious possibility that the
car
was completely bare metalled then painted blue at some time in its life, is
this a mistake in the cert, or did some cars get resprayed after leaving the
production line? I would like to know for sure what colour the car was
originally, as I was intending one day to turn it back to original.

I also found what I believe is a mistake on my Heritage Certificate 
regarding the original color of my 1955 BN1. The original color was stated 
as black, but in doing a complete tear-down, there is no evidence of black 
body color. Red was evidently the original color. Makes me wonder about the 
authenticity of the Certificate.

Not true. I recently perfected a process where by I can reproduce an exact  
copy of "rust" on any steel part. It is a high temp finish & should you ever  
scratch or chip the finish, it is self healing. Unfortunately, it is very  
expensive. Just send me your parts & $500/part. I will coat them with this  
special finish that I guarantee to be indistinguishable  from rust.

Hi Mike,

The certificate for my March 1956 BN2, had a typo in the engine number and the color was listed as Carmine Red. 

First I believed this was probably an exception or special order by the owner as Carmine Red (and I do like this colour) was replaced by Reno Red in December '55.  Rich pointed out that this was probably a mistake so I inquired by email and the heritage promptly send me a new certificate with color corrected to Reno Red

Has anybody seen what they are up against, are these archives microfilms of nearly unreadable handwritten cards?  There seem to be many evidences of small mistakes.

Message-ID: <34B6CE282C83CE409E0490D509662D14014FD252@bilbo.IT-ARKITEKTERNA.SE>

Hello all!

This summer, after rebuilding my entire engine and getting it tight and smooth
and quiet, I now have a new issue to deal with (perhaps because I haven't
heard it earlier):

At idleing speed, I have a very annoying noise coming from my steering column.
It sort of goes "cloink-cloink-cloink" in beat with the engine vibrations.
This bugs me, because the car otherwise "ticks like a clock". At higher revs
it is not audible. If I, e.g. when at a stop, hear this noise, and slightly
put pressure on the steering wheel (right or left) it seizes. At idle again,
standing at the engine bay, I can actually feel and hear vibrations approx.
40-50 cm in front of the firewall.
Is it the stator tube? Or ? Should I dismantle the whole steering column an
steering gear? Alot of work for a little noise, but who said we're not crazy?

Appreciate any ideas or experience of something like this.

Brgds, Peter Ehn

Hi folks,

I pulled my tranny yesterday to sort the problems I am having in 1st and
reverse.

Question:
What is the best way to wrestle the tranny back into place once I have the
tranny sorted? It was hell getting it out. I cannot imagine doing it with a
restored car without nicking and scraping something. I used a little floor
jack and a board to keep it from dropping. What is the best way to keep it
level when I reinstall it?

Folks,

According to the Moss catalog, the steering box in our 100 requires SIX 
"belleville washers."  One, I can see, but 6???!!!

Anybody know the story on these?  It looks as if the shaft pivots on 
these, but why six?  At $2+/per, I don't want to order six if not 
required, but if that's what it takes ...

Scott,

Having done this during my restoration 3 or 4 times (2 of which were in the
finished state) I know exactly what your concerns are.  Pull your carpet out,
lay down towels all over the floors, remove the pass. door moldings, protect
the aluminum finishers somehow, and place 2X4 or 2X6 wood pieces between the
outer sill and the tranny opening for sliding the tranny on to get it in where
you can set it for the big final move.  You need a floor jack that will allow
you to roll the tranny fore and aft while it supports the weight of the tranny
in the opening.  Have two 1X4's or something like bed slats available for
prying the tranny from side to side (or causing it to roll) as necessary for
lining up the input shaft at the same time as getting the widest part of the
tranny through the widest part of the scuttle opening.  I am assuming that you
have a jack under the rear of the engine so jack it up a little to make for a
pretty level mating of the two units.

Now, take a deep breath and heave that lump from the garage floor into the
cockpit and place the tail into the drive shaft tunnel.  Swing the front part
onto your floor jack and raise or lower the tranny and/or engine to get a
pretty level line.  Then push the tranny forward watching the right side,
rolling it as necessary to make it through the opening.  Go slowly and have
patience here to avoid scratching things up too badly.  When you get the
splines hitting the input shaft then rotate the output shaft a little for a
good mate.  When I get this far I sit down on the drive shaft tunnel, place my
feet on the bell housing and bump it the rest of the way home.  It usually
isn't a pretty site watching it and every time things seem to go a little
differently, but I'm not afraid to do it by myself now. Be sure before you
start that your OD wiring is where you want it on the left side of the opening
and away from anything that could damage it.  I'm sure others have a few tips
to add from their experiences, just remember that once you start this you
can't stop until it is securely in place.  Oh, be sure the mounts are off the
tranny, I think that helps with movement.  If you need some stability then
place small pieces of wood back there on each side to help.

Good luck,

George Haywood

Peter,

This is a SWAG ("Scientific Wild-Assed Guess"), but we're rebuilding our 
100's steering and noticed a couple parts ( 
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/SearchResults.aspx?SearchText=262-320&WebCatalogID=0 
) which might apply.  These are rubber rings--probably square-cut 
O-rings--which are sometimes described as 'anti-rattle' and appear to be 
used to keep the steering shaft from contacting the steering sleeve.  I 
would imagine this noise would be most noticeable at idle and slow 
speed.  Ours were missing but there are a couple of rubbery smears on 
the shaft where they might have been 50 or so years ago.

There is also an "inti-rattle" cerated "shim that fits on the stator

Scott,

George Haywood has a lot of good tips on the installation of the gearbox 
back into the car. I will add my 2 cents worth. Assuming the gearbox is out 
of the car and the engine is supported as needed from under the car, I 
always suspend the gearbox/overdrive assembly from above with a chain falls 
and soft rope slung around the adapter plate of the o/d. On the 6 cylinder 
roadster, you'll want to protect the top of the windscreen from being 
scratched by the chain or rope as it lines up right behind the windscreen. 
This seems to almost be the balance point of the gearbox assembly with a 
slight weight bias to the front. Place the gearbox/o/d assembly across the 
floor of the car with the bell housing on the passenger's side. Sling the 
rope as above, and lift the assembly slightly off the floor. This 
arrangement allows you to press down on the tail flange with your hand to 
achieve balance, pivot the whole assembly and guide it gently into the 
cavity. Place the gearbox into 4th gear so you can rotate the tail flange 
and guide the input shaft splines into the clutch splines. Suspending things 
in this way from above wll allow you to tilt the load to the left to clear 
the starter motor bulge at the bulkhead flange, then simply start the 
splines, then sitting on the fixed portion of the tunnel, place both feet on 
the bell housing and push the assembly home. Install the bolts as required 
keeping in mind the dowel bolts placed at 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock as viwed 
from in the car looking forward.
I've done this many times by myself once the gearbox is lifted into the car 
and sits across the floor as described above.

When installing the rear end how do you know where to position the flange to
match up with the prop shaft (not installed yet) later?

Or is this something you align later by loosing the U bolts when the tranny
and shaft are being installed?

Simon,

The diff input flange and the prop shaft flange do not have evenly spaced 
bolt holes, so you can only have it line up every 180 degrees. Same at the 
output flange of the gearbox.  However, make sure that the prop shaft 
assembly itself has not been apart at the sliding splines and realigned onto 
the wrong splines, causing it to be out of alignment. The U joints and 
therefore end coupling flanges must be in line at both ends of the prop 
shaft assembly.

My plate number was issued when the car was bought new in 1960, and then the 
yellow plate was replaced by the currently mounted black plate, without 
changing the registration number, in 1964:

While rebuilding my engine (3000 cc) I'll have it modified to an expected
output of about 150-170 bhp. What kind of rear end ratio do you suggest? As
it is an early centre shift gearbox with O/D, the original ratio is 3.909.
Can you recommend a 3.545 ratio with this setup.

Thank you for all your advice.

I'm sure my car was issued a yellow plate when bought in California in  1953, 
but I have no idea as to what it was. I do  have original black plate issued 
to it though, in what year I'm not  sure, but it's QAV 615.
    Hope this helps,

Eric,

I have a 3.5 rearend in my BJ8, which has a stock engine and 22% O/D.  
Starting from stopped requires a little more finessing of the clutch to 
prevent judder, first and second gears are more usable for the most part 
and hill climbs are a wash (hills I used to lug a little in third I now 
take in second with more revs and more torque on tap).

Overall, the 3.5 is an improvement in drivability, esp. on the highway 
but perhaps not on a short track (I wouldn't mind a 28% O/D, either).  I 
think a stronger engine like yours would be even better.

Scott,

Having had my gearbox in and out several times, I can say that there is no
real magic.  I put scissors jack under the engine so that I could make fine
adjustments to the angle and, as you did, a floor jack under the gearbox.
Then it is just a matter of getting the first motion shaft to line up with
the splines on the clutch and pilot bushing on the end of the crankshaft.
You also have to rotate the gearbox a bit to get the bell housing through
the opening in the firewall.

I always remove the seats, carpeting, and the parcel shelf (and thank my
stars that I bought a BJ7 instead of BJ8 so that I don't have to fuss with
the center console).

HTH,

I should add if you've increased the HP at the expense of low- and 
mid-range torque the taller rearend may not be as desirable.  The racers 
on the List can probably address this issue.

All,
 
On the heritage certificate for my BT7, they originally listed the date of  
build (29 November-15 December 1960) as after the date of dispatch (8 March  
1960). This one took 6 weeks to receive. When I questioned it they sent me a  
corrected one within a week (Date of dispatch 8 March 1961).

G'day Gary

It's been 30 plus years and I have finally found someone who has the
expertise to do this. Many times I have tried to achieve a coating that
looks like rust, but only managed rust itself.

Please tell me where to send my parts and your bank account details so I can
pass them on to a good friend in Nigeria.

Also is there any chance of opening a franchise in Australia as I just know
there a huge market of classic car owners who are on the lookout for faux
rust.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Not true. I recently perfected a process where by I can reproduce an exact  
copy of "rust" on any steel part. It is a high temp finish & should you ever

scratch or chip the finish, it is self healing. Unfortunately, it is very  
expensive. Just send me your parts & $500/part. I will coat them with this  
special finish that I guarantee to be indistinguishable  from rust.

I'll throw in my vote for Jet-Hot.  After 5K miles they look like day one. 
Did mine in cast iron grey.  Happy to send photos, if desired.

G'day Peter

Is you car left or right hand drive? 

Mine is RHD and sometimes the front end plate of the generator hits the
steering column. However if yours is LHD it may be something on the other
side.

Subject: [Healeys] Annoying noise from steering column

Hello all!

This summer, after rebuilding my entire engine and getting it tight and
smooth
and quiet, I now have a new issue to deal with (perhaps because I haven't
heard it earlier):

At idleing speed, I have a very annoying noise coming from my steering
column.
It sort of goes "cloink-cloink-cloink" in beat with the engine vibrations.
This bugs me, because the car otherwise "ticks like a clock". At higher revs
it is not audible. If I, e.g. when at a stop, hear this noise, and slightly
put pressure on the steering wheel (right or left) it seizes. At idle again,
standing at the engine bay, I can actually feel and hear vibrations approx.
40-50 cm in front of the firewall.
Is it the stator tube? Or ? Should I dismantle the whole steering column an
steering gear? Alot of work for a little noise, but who said we're not
crazy?

Appreciate any ideas or experience of something like this.

Brgds, Peter Ehn

Seems like new throttle switches are expensive! What's the best way to test
to see if the original one works?

Ground out a screw tab, apply 12v to one terminal and then move the arm to
see if you get 12v on the other terminal? Does it matter if you test this in
positive or negative ground wiring off the car?

Sounds simple but figured I'd "phone a friend" or "ask the audience" before
spewing out the wrong answer..

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Very interesting.  I didn't know that the DMV replaced original yellow
plates with the same number in black.

I just wrote Ron that I have a very nice set of yellow plates *NFX
572*which doesn't seem to be in sequence with my Bugeye's black plates
*KRD 888*, unless of course, that number was my Bugeye's original yellow
plate number too.

Cheers,

Simon,

I've had one apart--it's a set of points with a cam on the shaft to open 
and close them.  Just test for continuity in one position and lack 
thereof in the other (check resistance, too--if it's high the points are 
probably fouled).  You can open them up--gently--and clean the points if 
you're careful not to break the tabs (I'm one for one).

As Bob says its only a set of pints opened by a cam on the shaft, heres a
pic:

http://www.austin-healey3000.com/apps/photos/photo.jsp?photoID=5129879&prev=1

I asked my local supplier why so expensive (when there is sod all in them),
and he said they arent really, they are pressed by the 1000's in Netherlands
and they (healey suppliers) just all sell them at the same price, go figure?
seems if they dropped the price they would sell a few more!

Do not fall for the Franchise agent's pitch about "it's all in the water".

Like the secret recipe for KFC chicken and Outback SH meat these "secret
ingredients" are nothing more than hype to keep the franchise fees high.

I would recommend re-branding to something like Hoo Roo Goo or Hodson armor.

G'day Gary

It's been 30 plus years and I have finally found someone who has the
expertise to do this. Many times I have tried to achieve a coating that
looks like rust, but only managed rust itself.

Please tell me where to send my parts and your bank account details so I can
pass them on to a good friend in Nigeria.

Also is there any chance of opening a franchise in Australia as I just know
there a huge market of classic car owners who are on the lookout for faux
rust.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Not true. I recently perfected a process where by I can reproduce an exact
copy of "rust" on any steel part. It is a high temp finish & should you ever

scratch or chip the finish, it is self healing. Unfortunately, it is very
expensive. Just send me your parts & $500/part. I will coat them with this
special finish that I guarantee to be indistinguishable  from rust.

I've performed the operation several times.... (I did it 3 times in one
week!!!...don't ask!)...with my BJ8.  My preferred method is to remove the
carburetors.  Yes, the rear carburetor lower nuts are a bit challenging to
remove, but can be accomplished with a short wrench.   Anyway, once the
carburetors and radiator is removed, the rest of the operation is a piece of
cake.   Just disconnect the obvious wires and pipes, take off the rocker
cover, and per the original service manual, hook up a chain fall (or just a
length of chain if you don't have a fancy chain fall) to one of the front
and one of the rear rocker arm bolts (the appropriate bolts are obvious,
since they are a bit longer than the others.)    

Disconnect and remove the seats, center console, and shift lever.    Also
disconnect the obvious wires and bolts and you are about ready.

The trick is to lift the engine-tranny combination in such a way that it
severely tilts towards the rear.   As it is lifted, you want the top of the
tranny to just clear the scuttle at the same time as the lower front of the
oil pan clears the front of the engine bay.    I sometimes just roll the car
backwards to help clear the enginge=tranny from the car, othertimes, I use
the engine hoist wheels to roll the engine away from the car.  In any case,
more height is usually needed to get the transmission to clear the engine
bay.   However the whole process can be completed in about 3 hrs.   

Personally, I think it is easy enough, that I prefer to pull the
engine-transmission for any work on either engine or transmission (or
clutch).   With the carbs off, the whole assembly can be quite easily
maneuvered without danger of damaging the paint.... so my "advice" on engine
pull, is to pull the whole assembly.

-skip-

In the near future I'll find myself pulling the engine out of my 3000.

What do the experienced of you suggest how to do that? Together with gearbox
& O/D, gearbox & O/D first via cockpit or any other method?
Thank you for your suggestions.

I just assumed that they kept the same license number when issuing new
plates. I wouldn't have imagined that they would have changed all their
records
every three years when changing plate colors, and I knew that this car was
first
registered in 1960, which would have called for yellow plates.

Backwards Unlimited does beautiful steering wheel restorations.  Their phone 
number is 360-697-1471.  I called them and asked about restoring one of my 
steering wheels, and the cost estimate was VERY expensive.  They did do one 
for a friend of mine who was restoring a Porsche Speedster, and cost was not 
a problem for him.  The Moss reproductions are very good, but you have to 
carefully remove the mold parting line.  Not to hard to do if you take your 
time.

Trace...
Is this the steering wheel for your car?
If so, I wouldn't even bother. The Moss version is very well done, and Roger
or I can give you instructions on how to correct the one issue, that mold
line.
Cheers

G'day Tracy

How are you?

Sending a steering wheel to Australia for restoration may sound silly but
with today's exchange rate it does make sense. 

For instance Aus$500 today is the equivalent to US$347.

Have a look at www.pearlcraft.com.au and in particular have a look at the
Austin A40 wheel at:- 

http://www.pearlcraft.com.au/images/before%20and%20after/02%20-%20Austin%20A
40%20-%20after%20resto.jpg

The A40 wheel is exactly the same as the 3000 wheel except that it's brown
instead of black.

Of course I own shares in Pearlcraft and they pay me a $10,000 for every
wheel they do.

No seriously they did Bill Emerson's wheel from his Westland and did a
fantastic job.

Scott,
     I have read a lot of feedback through out the last decade on this 
routine.  After the major expense of redoing the trany it makes sense to 
reinstall it the right way.   Pull the engine too .   Whats another couple
of weeks down time in order to get the thing lined up right.   You need a 
good cherry picker, ($150.) and a leveler to do it right.   While the engine 
is out you can tidy up the rest of the compartment.

Lining up the trany input shaft has to be a hellashias deal when the engine 
is in the car.

Good Luck,   Mark

Years ago, when I owned my 1967 BJ8, I recall replacing the clutch all by 
myself. As a kid who had never done it before, I simply took out the console 
and seats and unbolted the bell housing, drive shaft, etc. Maybe I didn't 
know better but .....

I recall renting an alignment tool, and then bolting the transmission back 
in place--all by myself from inside the car. I recall how easy it was.

It worked great, and I put 100,000 miles on that new clutch.

Hi all,

 

I'm looking for a BJ8 hardtop  (have been for about 2 years) anywhere in
North America.

 

Also looking for a Big Healey rear axle (hopefully in the Pacific
Northwest).

 

Thanks for your consideration.

Not a real thrilling question but I need to ask.  I'm about to redo my
buckets for the third time to make them more comfortable and look right
(they're currently over stuffed/thick/hard).  What is the proper
height/thickness of the front seat bottom cushions on a BJ 8 once they
have been finished?  Height at the front measured at the angle and on
the sides about mid-way back.



Thank you for your input.

Paul, I looked for 3 years for my BJ7 (same hardtop as BJ8) before finding
Nical Engineering (Nick Freeman) in England.... I believe he was at the
Conclave in San Diego.  Certainly not as easy as finding something this side
of the pond, but at least you can get one and it doesn't need restoring.

Thanks all,
I have also done this twice before with a friend. I was just hoping there was
a magic easy way for one person.

I won't be pulling the motor and working on the engine compartment at this
time. I don't want the engine compartment to look better than the rest of the
car! The motor is a solid runner with few leaks. I plan to drive it as is for
several more years until my stocks rebound. (Har har) It will be awhile. I
also have a restored MGA, a daughter, a driver E-Type, a wife, and two new
Welsh Corgis that continually need my devotion and dough.

Alex,
Was the alignment tool for the clutch or to help you roll the tranny into
place? If for the tranny where did it come from and what was it shaped like?
"I recall renting an alignment tool, and then bolting the transmission back
in place--all by myself from inside the car. I recall how easy it was."

I am having my yet to ever be used Bill Bolton lightened flywheel balanced
finally and ready for install when the tranny issue is sorted.

Scott,

I have removed and replaced the gearbox on my BJ7 with the engine in place
at least six times, at least four of those times by myself.  With the car on
a lift, I could get the box out in three and a half hours.  Putting it back
probably took about four hours the last time I did it.  Believe it or not,
the hardest part of the process was removing and replacing the parcel shelf.

One thing that I did to make it easier to lift by myself was to remove the
bellhousing after I had separated the gearbox from the engine.

I don't know if it is magic but all the times I did it by myself I 
balanced the transmission on a rolling floor jack to move up to the 
car and then lifted it into place (most likely slide it). Once it was 
in the car I then moved the floor jack under the car to the slot 
where the transmission sits. Then I used the rolling jack to move the 
transmission forward and into place. You need to make height 
adjustments with the jack as you go along. It is not all that 
difficult. I installed the transmission, bell-housing and OD all as one unit.

Hi Paul,

Check Craig's list occasionally. I found a BT7 hardtop on it 1-1/2 
years ago. I just checked the list on a lark and the top had been on 
the list for 3 days!

Paul,

I agree with Steve.  I met Nick at the San Diego Conclave this past summer
and his hardtops are great.  If you can even find a suitable hardtop for
sale it may take you several more years since they are hard as "hen's teeth"
to find.  And then, you may have to restore it which is not inexpensive.
I've been there and done that with a friend's BJ8.

My friend sold his restored hardtop several years ago and I can't remember
the exact price he got for it, but it was in excess of $6K.

Here is a link to their page on the website with hardtop specifics:

Curt

I've got a couple of wood wedges, opposite hand from each other (so they 
must be right and left) that I don't know where they go.
The car is a BT7 Mk.II and the wedges measure 1 15/16" long x 13/16" x 
9/16" and 11/16" thick.  There is a hole which had a wood screw for 
attaching them.
Any help would be appreciated.

Charlie,

They may be blocks that fasten to the inner rear wheel well for the soft top
frame to rest against when it is stored.

I didn't realize that Corgis were being made in Wales. I thought they'd been 
outsourced to the far east.

Hello all,

First a quick history lesson.....

>From the beginning of Austin Healey production in mid 1953, all he BN1 cars up
'till mid summer 1954  approx. the first 4500 BN1's were equipped with the
earlier flat pressed hub 48 spoke painted Dunlop wire wheels. After that
point, the wheels fitted to the cars had a deeper depressed hub section and
the wires were laced with a slightly deeper bias, making for a stronger wheel
when sideways forces were applied.
However, these early wheels have a noticeable visual difference and when
attempting an accurate restoration on these cars, the early wheels should be
fitted.
In the past, Dayton Wire Wheel Company were willing to strip, restore, relace
and finish these wheels for an obvious extra cost (not an issue here). It
seems as of now, they will no longer accept doing these wheel restorations any
longer.
Is there anybody else out there in the world who will restore these wheels?

Charlie,
It sounds like they may be the little wooden blocks that serve as  
buffers for the soft top frame. I will send an image to you since they  
are stripped on the list.

Fellow Listers,
I ran across a couple of restoration articles by Roger Moment with Gary
Anderson that were published in the March/April/May 2008 issues of the
Austin-Healey magazine. But I have only Installments 19 and 20 which were
copied and sent to me by one of the Listers on this Healey site. The articles
I have are excellent and the rest sure would be a big help to me in my
restoration of a BJ7. My question - how can I obtain the entire set of
articles?
Your help would be much appreciated. And a Happy and Healthy New Year to you
all!
Thanks,
Elton, BJ7 in progress

Hi All,

I have recently acquired and restored a very nice, original, compete
trafficator/ horn push for an AC Ace or Aceca Bristol. This is also exactly
the same unit on the early BN1 with adjustable steering, which is why I
purchased it in the first place.  The Lucas part number is 32941A which is
for the AC Ace, however I did install a Healey wiring harness which is just
a bit longer that the AC harness.  FYI, the part number for the early 100
unit is 32900A.

The link below will show you a picture of the unit in an AC Ace.

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/ac-sports-cars-3.jpg

This is one of the nicest early units that I've come across and it looks and
functions like new.

Contact me off list if you are interested.

Cheers,

If you are a member of the Austin Healey Club USA, I believe that  
most, if not all, of the articles are available on its web site.

Hi Rich.  Happy New Year  
 
So, Dayton Wire Wheel will not redo the early 100 wire wheels anymore.  I
spoke with Frank Kutas of 'Spoke 'n True at the November flea market in
Tillsonburg and he said he still does some repairing and truing of wire
wheels.  You may wish to try him at 416-798-0553 / fjutas at interlog.com .  Good
luck.

Subject: [Healeys] license plate - CA all the data
Message-ID: <5caeedb50812312157w22aab8eeke63c8fd0b4463fe6@mail.gmail.com>

California lisc Plates  the real scoop:
Here's some info that has been sent to me

1951 (1951-1955), BLACK PLATES WITH FAT YELLOW NUMBERS 1A23456
1956 (1956-1963), YELLOW PLATES WITH BLACK NUMBERS: AAA 123
1963 (1963-1968). BLACK PLATES WITH YELLOW NUMBERS: AAA 123

At the end of 1950 there were approximately 4 million cars on the
roads in California that had to be replated in January of 1951.(NEW
PLATES WERE ISSUED YEARLY) To meet that requirement meant that 20
percent of all possible combinations were issued in early 1951.  The
1951 California base plates are designed with a number, letter, and up
to 5 numbers (e.g. 1A23456).  But the numbering on these plates was
not issued in sequential order, i.e. they did not start at 1A and
progress to 8x by 1955.  Many of the "high" numbers were issued early
(1951 and 1952). And there is a regional issue as well as some kind of
pattern that isn't just a straight numeric issue. In fact, there are
lots of 9-prefix plates, but all the 7-digit 9's have letters A, B, or
N. So knowing what was issued in a given year, say 1954, is
complicated.

Anyway, the letters A through L were assigned to Northern California
and M through Z to the 10 counties that comprise Southern California.
The letter Z is associated with San Diego County.

1. For the 1951 base, the annual starting number sequences are not
well known. Apparently they have been hard to isolate so far. The
plate guys are also working on the problem using known data from
original cars/plates/owners. When/if I hear more, I'll let you know.

2. 1956 base.
   1956 AAA to Mxx were used during the first year.
   1957 to 1962 the annual starting alphas are not well known.
Different colored tags were issued each year and affixed to the
plates.

3. 1963 base.
These plates are quite well known.
   1963 AAA to Mxx were used during the first year.
   1964 M, N, O, P, Q, R (lots of overlap in 1964-65) plus a "year"
decal, i.e. 1964
   1965 N, O, P, Q, R (lots of overlap in 1964-65)
   1966 R, S, T
   1967 T, U, V
   1968 V, W, X
   1969 Y, Z

that  is all i know.
