Happy New Year, Don. I bought two rebuilt calipers from Apple for my BT7, 
and they work great. Apple's return service was top-flight, too. No 
complaints whatsoever.

Regarding your caliper rebuilds Don, regardless of who you use for the job I
would strongly recommend that you insist that they use stainless steel
pistons.

I'll drink to that, Mike.  Might as well make the pistons rust-proof and fix
that problem for good.

I hope that Apple has improved the quality of their work now, but my
experience with them was not good.  The Apple-rebuilt rear shocks on my MG
Midget began leaking just a few months after I reinstalled them, but that
was a few years ago.  Could have been an anomaly that just applied to my
job, too.

Does Peter C. at Worldwide Imports also work on calipers and servos?  I've
heard nothing but good reports about him for shock rebuilds.  I believe he's
on the list, too.

Happy Healey New Year to all!

Hi John,
The fuel pump runs all the time (keeps on clicking) as
long as I have the ignition on.
The fuel pump is an inexpensive Fawcett pump without a
pressure regulator.
Thanks

John,
This afternoon I checked for fuel by 
1-disconnecting the fuel hose and letting the fuel
pump run for a few seconds. I though I was going to
spill some gas when I disconnected the hose but no gas
came out of the hose (pump not running). 
2-I put the hose in a bucket and let the pump run for
a few seconds and several ounces of gas flowed into
the bucket.
3-I checked the carburetor fuel bowls and they were
both full so the grose jets don't appear to be
sticking.
I put everything back together and made sure there was
no slack in the choke cable (outside temperature in
the low 50s) and tried to start the engine no success
AGAIN. I bought a can of starter fluid and I will try
starting the Healey with starter fluid this weekend.
In the meantime if anyone could give me some hints as
to why getting my Healey to start after it sits idle
for a while is such a b*tch I'd really be greatful.
Thanks
Jorge

Jorge,

I stand by my first suggestion. Did you remove the upper chambers and 
pistons, and pull the choke cables out fully, then look down into the carbs 
to observe how much the jets are actually pulling down? I'd bet they aren't 
moving down far enough to allow a rich enough mixture.
Also, with the choke cables fully pulled out, try moving the choke levers 
manually to see how much further they could actually drop the jets. With the 
levers pulled up manually to their extent (and the carbs reassembled, she'll 
probably start. There is often either lost motion in the lever to cable 
linkages or a maladjustment of the fast idle levers and where they seat.

Jorge -

You should do as Rich suggests - but I might suggest beforehand to first try
to manually hold up both choke levers in the full up position with your
fingers on the carbs while someone cranks the car over.  I've done this a
number of times and it starts every time.  Much better than dumping starter
fluid in there.  If it doesn't start when you do that, then it will likely
be something else like a bad dizzy rotor or something.

Best Regards,

Alan

Hi all,

I posted a few weeks ago about my "garage sale find" 1966 BJ8. I've  
finally got the car home in my garage. Haven't sat in it much since I  
removed the seat cushions right away in order to clean them. However  
while moving the car around I've now sat in the drivers seat with the  
cushion in place.

I'm now rather worried... I simply don't fit. I'm around 6'4" or 6'5".  
I can sit down in the seat but my knees are really high, especially in  
relation to the steering wheel. The pedals are too close for me to  
operate them safely.

Any suggestions? It looks like the rear interior side panels are in  
the way for me to modify the rails/pan to go back farther. Are the  
pedal positions adjustable? I don't want to even think about a non- 
original steering wheel (I really like the correct one and a smaller  
size would affect steering feel). I'm thinking maybe a much thinner  
bottom cushion would help? I could keep the originals on hand and use  
a custom skinny one for my own use perhaps?

Thanks,
Carl

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 Correct Jack Handle?
Message-ID: <484481.51403.qm@web82514.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello Listers,

I recently purchased a Shelly LJ23 (54) jack that I think (and hope) is correct for my BN1L-156610 (26 May 1954) "Brutus, the Garage King".

It has a 3/4(+)" or 13/16(-)" square input rotating "receiver".

Looking for a correct "handle", the Roger Moment/Gary Anderson Restoration book photos imply that the jack handles were actually three pieces.

A. It appears that the "tail piece" has an eyelet that one could insert a crosswise round bar through to get additional rotational leverage.

B. The "middle piece" is assumed to be an extension.

C. The "working end" must have a 3/4" or 13/16" square head to fit into and operate the jack.

(One would assume that the pieces are male/female, such that one could use "A" alone; "A" + "C" and/or all three "A"+ "B" + "C").

Does anyone have dimensions of or know any additional details about "A", "B" and/or "C" above?

It looks like the following eBay item might be an "A", but the photo is not clear and there is nothing for scale.

[I have just asked the seller for dimensions, but have not yet received a reply and don't know what answer(s) I'm looking for].

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=330200250652&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=014

Hi,

I'm about your height (6'4") and I don't fit in a BJ8 mainly because  
my left knee interferes with the dash which prevents me from  
operating the clutch.

On my BT7, instead of being squared off, the lower left portion of  
the dash curves up which provides clearance for my leg.

Al Malin,
Tricarb

Glepilegt Ar Steven,

According to the concours guidelines, you have the correct jack for your car 
but you are mistaken as to the the parts for the handle. there are 3 pieces 
in all but only 2 parts to the handle( the bottom 2 pieces in all the 
pictures of the Moment -Anderson book pg.61) the top piece is not four sided 
but round and is the tommy bar that goes through the hole at the end of the 
handle to turn the jack. the item on e-bay is half of the handle and should 
be 14" for the shelley as per Moment.
I4ll send a photo of my LJ21 and handle parts seperately.

Carl,

I'm 6' 9" and don't fit in the BJ8 or the 100 (darn).  I have a BT7 so this 
may not help too much.  I welded another piece of flat steel to the gearbox 
side of the seat bottom.  This allowed me to move the seat closer to the 
gearbox, about an inch.  That moved the seat back away from the wheel well 
enough so I could then move the seat back. I welded some additional flat 
stock onto the tabs the seat back mounts to tilt the seat back a bit. I 
then drilled a new set of holes in the seat frame for mounting to the slides.

For the "shorter" cushion, I used a new cushion (foam) from Heritage and 
drilled some blind holes on the bottom of the foam using a hole saw to 
soften the cushion - per Norm Nock's Tech book.  Question - anyone know how 
to seal the foam so little bits of foam stop falling on to the carpet?

I have a dished Moto-Lita wheel that came with the car.  Yes, it's a bad 
design in that it blocks the two small gauges, but the dish gives me more 
leg room. Does Mike Lempert make dished wheels? Mike?

Jorge,

Do you have a new rotor? Try replacing the old one. You say you had 
spark but to how many cylinders? I know others are suggesting fuel 
problems but it could be spark?

Message-ID: <20080102162029.EBZO15841.ispmxmta06-srv.windstream.net@webmail-relay.alltel.net>

It's time to re-tire the BJ8.  I'm looking at the Vredesteins----165R15 or 185R15.  I also will be buying new wires.  Was thinking of keeping the 5" wires.  

Question---Which of the two listed tires fit best on the 5" wheels?
           Should I get the wider wheels and a wider tire?
           If I get the wider wheels, how much rub do you get on the car--inner/outer wells?

I've heard great things about the Kumho tires as well, but I like the look of the Vresestines better----plus I have been using them on my E and love em.

TIA

Jorge,
 Put in fresh spark plugs (not platinum)@.025", replace points and condenser
and rotor, gap to .016". Replace spark plug wires and cap. Assure correct
choke operation. You have fuel and air, so this (tune-up) should take care
of the spark.

: Re: [Healeys] Proper starting procedure for a BJ8

John,
This afternoon I checked for fuel by 
1-disconnecting the fuel hose and letting the fuel
pump run for a few seconds. I though I was going to
spill some gas when I disconnected the hose but no gas
came out of the hose (pump not running). 
2-I put the hose in a bucket and let the pump run for
a few seconds and several ounces of gas flowed into
the bucket.
3-I checked the carburetor fuel bowls and they were
both full so the grose jets don't appear to be
sticking.
I put everything back together and made sure there was
no slack in the choke cable (outside temperature in
the low 50s) and tried to start the engine no success
AGAIN. I bought a can of starter fluid and I will try
starting the Healey with starter fluid this weekend.
In the meantime if anyone could give me some hints as
to why getting my Healey to start after it sits idle
for a while is such a b*tch I'd really be greatful.
Thanks
Jorge

with 5" tires you will be better off with the Vred. 18570R15s.  The Vred
185s are a just a hair on the narrow side for the size so they should fit
yoru 5" rims perfectly.  I'd only use the 165s on a standard 4.5" rim.

Carl -

You can definitely shorten the rods on your clutch and brake master which
should help some.  Or, I'd recommend having custom brake and clutch levers
welded up for the car.  The brake lever would be no problem, the clutch you
need to be careful because you don't want to reduce the throw on the clutch
pedal.

Also, if you drill a couple of holes in the bottom of your seat frames you
can move the seat back about an inch or so, further if you remove the rear
side panels.  You will also have to drill corresponding holes in the seat
pan.  The other option is to break apart the seat slides and drill them up,
but this is a bigger job.

definitely flatten out the cushion in the seat bottom.  That can help alot.

Thanks for the input everyone. It sounds like thinning the seat foam  
and going with the smaller wooden wheel will be the first things I'll  
try. Also will probably remove the wood spacer under the seat pan. If  
I still have problems I will consider modifying the pedals or drilling  
around the seat frame and pan. But I'll try all the non-drilling  
solutions first. Will keep you posted!

Glepilegt Ar Steven,

According to the concours guidelines, you have the
correct jack for your car 
but you are mistaken as to the the parts for the
handle. there are 3 pieces 
in all but only 2 parts to the handle( the bottom
2 pieces in all the 
pictures of the Moment -Anderson book pg.61) the top
piece is not four sided 
but round and is the tommy bar that goes through the
hole at the end of the 
handle to turn the jack. the item on e-bay is half of
the handle and should 
be 14" for the shelley as per Moment.
I4ll send a photo
of my LJ21 and handle parts seperately.

If you must make a new brake lever, I'd be very careful. There are reasons
why it is one of the thickest pieces of metal in any car.

Or, I'd recommend having custom brake and clutch levers
welded up for the car.  The brake lever would be no problem, the clutch you
need to be careful because you don't want to reduce the throw on the clutch
pedal.

Welcome to 2008 Mal;  Certainly it is possible to repair it yourself.  Or you could send it out and have it done.  What horns did you buy?  Do you know what the form of 'non-functioning' is?   I can forward instructions to help a DIY repair or alternative repair sources.  Let me know what your wishes are.

Mal:
Had the same problem with both of mine on my BJ7. I took the rivets off,
opened it up, cleaned the contacts inside and outside checked the continuity
and cleaned the adjusting bolt.
Held it together with clamps and or vise grips, hooked the contacts to a
battery, totally loosened the adjusting bolt and started slowly turning the
bolt until I went from a frog grating sound to a smooth honk. Put new rivets
on, again readjusted the sound bolt.Bill

Tom,

On a BJ8 I would go for the 5 inch and 185 - rub in minimal if any -
maybe some on full lock.  If you go 41/2 inch stay with 165.

Mal -

You can usually fix it by whacking it with a mallot while it's hooked up to
power.

Always use the right tool for the right job.

Message-ID: <c40.2755e74f.34ad5504@aol.com>

Steve,
 
As Richard said, congratulations on securing a proper jack for your  BN1.  
 
The jack handle section on eBay should be a good start to  complete the set.  
For me it is hard to tell if it is a driving end with  the 3/4 inch swollen 
end and a spring loaded 1/4 inch ball.  It  might be the section that has a 
swollen 3/4 inch end with a hole for the tommy  bar.  
 
Normally, the driving section carries a sleeve unit that provides a  socket 
for connecting the second section.  While that does not  seem to visible on the 
picture, it could mean the available piece is the tommy  bar end, or that you 
might have to add a sleeve piece to it.  If  you obtain the section, I 
suggest that you wait until getting the other  section before adding a sleeve. 
 
It looks like handle is a proper, 14 inch long unit.  Even if it is a  longer 
one, you can cut it down.  So, no matter if it is one section of the  other, 
it would be good to snag it now so long as the price does not get out of  hand.
 
One question to ask the seller is if it is the driving section, does the  
spring loaded ball work.
 
Good luck,
 
Bill

Thanks, Bill,
 
Richard and I both think it is the Tommy Bar half and I'll probably bid on it.

It looks easy to make a Tommy Bar, but I suppose trying to find the "driving" half with the square coupling and a working spring-loaded ball will be a life-long effort.

Regards.

I'm considering replacing all of the rubber bushings in the front end of my BJ7.? I've never?done this on any car?before so I'm kind of in the dark.? 

I'm only doing this as a preventative step, as?all of the rubber is the same stuff that came from the factory, and?I want to be able to avoid anything failing.? Also, I've got a little?play in my steering that I was?hoping this might eliminate.??? 

Does anyone have any experience doing this; and have any advice or suggestions?that you might offer?? 

Do any companies offer kits?? 

Is there anything else that I should do at the same time?? 

I've also heard people discuss nylon, rubber, or other types of bushings....? What are the features & benefits of either type?? 

Thanks everyone for taking the time to read this and offer any help!?

Jeff--

I am currently rebuilding the front end of my BT7.  From the information
I've gathered from the list and others, I have decided to go with new rubber
suspension bushings, new king pins, re-bushed swivel axles, and new upper
trunnion needle bearings which replace the original oillite bearings.  The
later are supposed to provide easier steering with wider tires.

To me, rebuilding the front end is really an all-or-nothing proposition
because it all needs to be refreshed at once if you want to be satisfied
with its performance.  This includes rebuilding the steering box, steering
idler, and tie-rod ends if necessary.  The play in your steering is most
likely from worn out parts in your steering box and linkages before the
rubber suspension bushings.

Moss, VB, and other suppliers offer king pin kits, steering box/idler box
bushings, suspension bushings, etc.

Mike Salter has an excellent article regarding poly bushes here:
http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?m=200701  I will let you be the judge.

I'll be there at least one day this year. I'm currently on crutches,
but I'll see what information I can get my hands on.

Yes, he did, and it was very helpful to the BJ8 registry  since B-J
apparently doesn't think an identification on their website of the cars they
are auctioning off is very important.  We learned some interesting things
about the cars last year.

I don't know if Reid is attending this year or not, but he might want to
pass the chore on to someone else anyway.  Any volunteers would be most
appreciated.  All you have to do is read the VIN plate when the bonnet is
open.

year on the list and I hadn't realized that there were any still around. You
get a real good look at the door/fender set up in their pictures, years ahead
in their design. I remember as a teen, going to the new car shows in the  50's

There is a guy who lives around the corner from me who has a Kaiser Darrin.
You can see pictures of it on the Photo Album section of my web site. Look
for the album entitled PEDC Car show Georgian Court. The first three photos
are the Darrin.

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20080102184809.0298d3c8@pop.att.yahoo.com>

Hello all and Happy New Year!

I am at the point where it is time to repair the frame and replace 
sheet metal chassis parts and find I need the collective wisdom of "The List".

I went through the archives at Team Net, AHClub USA and my own but 
still have questions.

I would like to have my frame and chassis chemically dipped to clean 
it and dissolve rusted sheet metal areas.

1. If I have the frame chemically dipped will it remove undercoating, 
POR-15, and the mastic that was used to attach the front shroud?
2. I am told the frame will start rusting (surface type) soon after 
dipping. I presume a phosphoric acid treatment will minimize this and 
allow the steel to wait a few days before it is prime painted. Is 
this a correct presumption?
3. I live in San Jose, California (San Francisco Bay Area), does 
anyone know of companies in the Bay Area (or Northern California) 
that will do the work I need?

Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

Message-ID: <ce5.250d6306.34adbaa6@aol.com>

On my 1957 100-6 BN4, I have a secondary market fiberglass hard top (white) 
believed to be of the same basic age as the car ('57).  The structure of this 
hard tops seems to be solid throughout but the surface is experiencing 
extensive surface cracking, like what you might find in a cracked termpered windo.   
Although this appears superficial, it is unsightly and I would like to have the 
cracking correctly repaired, then a new coat of color applied. 
I am in search of recommendations from my extensive Healey "family" as to 
what to do and from my San Diego Healey "family",   where I might have this 
hardtop repaired.   I was thinking of pursuing a body shop that specializes in old 
mid-fifties Corvette or Thunderbird tops, as I suspect that the old fiberglass 
material might be the same.     
Also, I want to have a new headliner installed.  Any recommendations from my 
San Diego Healey "family" would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Scott,
   
  I appreciate it may be a little difficult for you to join in on UK based hill climbing from Ontario but if anyone else likes the idea of taking your Healey up a track such as Prescott (as shown in the film clip) then get in touch with Allan Cameron (he's the one using the handkerchief at the beginning).  All the details can be found on the www.Healeysport.org website.  The 2008 calendar of events will be posted as soon.
   
  My own personal new years resolution for 2008 is to beat that yellow frogeye (Bugeye) this season!!
   
  Cheers
  Paul

Subject: [Healeys] Frame and Chassis restoration

Hello all and Happy New Year!

I am at the point where it is time to repair the frame and replace sheet
metal chassis parts and find I need the collective wisdom of "The
List".

I went through the archives at Team Net, AHClub USA and my own but still
have questions.

I would like to have my frame and chassis chemically dipped to clean it
and dissolve rusted sheet metal areas.

1. If I have the frame chemically dipped will it remove undercoating,
POR-15, and the mastic that was used to attach the front shroud?
2. I am told the frame will start rusting (surface
type) soon after
dipping. I presume a phosphoric acid treatment will minimize this and
allow the steel to wait a few days before it is prime painted. Is this a
correct presumption?
3. I live in San Jose, California (San Francisco Bay Area), does anyone
know of companies in the Bay Area (or Northern
California)
that will do the work I need?

Thank you so much and Happy New Year!

Well, if you're just asking for Opinions and if your car is stripped
down to the bare chassis and if the chassis needs significant
restoration AND if you're not adamant about keeping the original chassis
(note the list of "ifs") then I would look into swapping the original
for a new Jule chassis.  I did and so have numerous other AH owners.
I'm totally glad I did as it proved to be the cost effective way for me.
Just my 2-cents-worth...
Jack

I used (dk. gray colored) H/D foam insulating strips. Come in 6' rolls at
most larger hardware stores - self adhesive and about 1/2" wide. Installed
last year and still going strong.

John,

I chose the Jule frame product as well for my restoration because of the
reasons Jack mentioned, but also, the box frame sections are far superior to
the 50 year old originals.  In my case, my original front and rear
sub-frames were transferred over to the new box frame along with new sills,
floors, and pedal boxes which are consumable items in most restorations
anyway.  In my view, it is still an "original" chassis with a much improved
box frame underneath.

I chose the Jule frame because the PO had cut loose the floors and sills
without saving the correct alignment and geometry to the rest of the
chassis.  I also had numerous issues with the original box sections that the
Jule frame would immediately cure, and everything was realigned using my
original sheet metal.  Another advantage is that my costs were controlled,
and I wasn't held hostage to ever increasing costs, which can happen if you
go the "traditional" route.

No monetary interest; just a satisfied customer.

Hagerty Insurance - excellent company.  Agreed value policies. Rarely
require appraisals. Usually just photos.

Try Norman Nock.  The other alternative is to get 1" neoprene camper seal
and use that.  That stuff lasts forever.  Camping and RV places usually have
it.  sometimes Auto parts stores will have it, but lots of times they have
cheaper foam camper seal... you want the neoprene (i.e. wetsuit type
material).

Ron, I'm surprised to hear that Hagerty asks for an appraisal.

I have 5 cars with them and they have never asked for an appraisal.  
Even over $100K.

Maybe I'm just lucky!

not so much as an appraisal but something to confirm its valure.
consider my 1988 Chevy K5 blazer at $10,000
 or my 1967 E Type FHC at $120,000 (the cost to replace it).

Had a "duh" moment last night on this issue. I realized that the  
pedals are currently positioned much higher and closer than they  
normally would be since I have both the clutch and brake cylinders  
out and the linkage disconnected! Things will still be very tight but  
at least better with the normal pedal position. Duh! Well my brain is  
not firing on all cylinders right now... 4-month old baby at home!

I will still try to make many of the tweaks suggested here.

Thanks,
Carl

Be sure to put the clutch and brake cylinders back in before you drive it to
the grocery store next time.

Just trying to be helpful...

Gary -

Yes, definitely.

I live overseas and Hagerty makes it impossible for me to use them because,
with me as non resident, I don't have enough every-day driver cars sitting
in the garage for every "licensed driver" in the house.  Well, I would just
like to find a way to insure my Healey - I drive it a couple times a year
when I am back in California.

I would imagine there are alot of people in my shoes - guys who work
overseas and make good money (or serving in the military) and as a result we
only have only one or two cars here back home.  None of us will fit the
adjustor's criteria of one daily driver car per licensed driver in the
house, yet none of us actually drive the cars.  We would be the ideal client
to have.

Can you ask him if I can establish that I don't live in the US, that they
will insure my vehicle in California?  I've been paying State Farm close to
$2,000 a year for insurance on my Healey and in 20 years I've never had a
claim.  It's really not very fair if you ask me.  I would really like to use
Hagerty or a comperable if I can.

Most of the policies have a limit that you only drive the car on club events 
or car shows.   I would be more interested in a policy that lets you drive a 
limited number of miles.  I don't put more than 4000 miles per year on 
either of my old cars but I do like to take them out to the hardware store 
for a quick run if the weather is good.

Just be aware that a Jule frame isn't ready to go when you get it back.  It 
will be missing a few things. The things I'm aware of include:
	- the panhard bar mount/bracket.
	- threaded holes (nut welded on the inside of the frame member) for
		-the front sway bar brackets
  		-the rear axle buffers
	- threaded holes for the zerk on the rear spring shackle mounts.

I have a LeLand West agreed value, 2,500 mile limitation on one of my cars and
the exclusions for their payout of a loss are so numerous that I am not sure I

Agree 100% with below;  I have been temporarily residing in a CA apartment for
6+ years but my "home" is in KY.  My daily driver is here in CA and not in KY
obviously, but my "collector" cars are in KY.  Same impossible situation re
trying to get coverage on 2 garage queens (Porsche and Healey) without having
a daily driver car present for every licensed driver in the household.

This is a perfect and nearly virtual no-risk situation for a car insurer but
they can't get out of their box to be fair or smart with customers.  What a
joke.

Gary:  This is not really a question but a repeat of the e-mail I sent in 
October last year plus some added comment.  It does pertain to insurance and 
maybe there is a question in it.  Following is the result of my contact with 
Haggerty last year:

"A quote from Hagerty at the same coverage levels as my 'regular' policy was
only $26 per year less.  Not much of a savings and not what I was led to
believe from their advertising.  The economics get worse when one considers
that my multi-car discount on my regular policy ($98) would go away.

Hagerty requires that the car be in a garage when not in use (don't leave it
in the driveway), has a 5,000 mile limit (my average over the last 5 years
is a little over 4,000 miles annually), strongly discourages its use for any
personal trips, and requires that my wife and I each have our own 'other'
vehicle (this MIGHT be waived since we have no need for two other cars). The
only benefit I see is the agreed value coverage.  I do not consider my car a
'daily driver' but I do drive it whenever I have the opportunity and that
includes those personal trips to the barber shop or hardware store (local),
Fairfield (10 miles away), Vallejo (25 miles away), Sacramento (35 miles
away), etc, etc.  I could not live with the use restrictions.".

It is obvious from responses on The List that there are Healey owners who 
can live with the driving restrictions (or they ignore them?) and would 
NEVER park their car in a public parking lot.  I bought my Healey to drive, 
not park in the garage.  Once, I did restrict my driving for a year.  When I 
rolled the car out of the garage, it was a mess.  It had deteriorated 
without use.  It would hardly start and when it did, it ran terribly.  It 
took many miles for it to 'recover' from its inactivity.  I will never do 
that again.

It would be of interest to find a policy that had agreed value available yet 
did not have the driving and parking restrictions that have been 
encountered.

Does anyone have experience with fitting the replacement padded dash

Not only do the metal tabs at the ends of the pad seem to stick out too

windshield to get the demister slots to line up.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions.

Jon,

I too have been using Taylor for several years.  Just recently increased my coverage on both cars.  They tell me on the phone that they require appraisals if the declared value exceeds 30000.

The part I dislike most about Taylor is that I have yet to get a satisfactory clarification on one point.  Something about test driving or personal driving or some such.  I don't have the contract in front of me.  When I try to get clarification on the vague statement by phone it is not made any clearer.  I am not so sure that they would accept liability in the event of an incident unless the driving was only for club events, parades and so on.

Larry,

The BT7 door check assemblies and fasteners are simply zinc plated (see pic. 
att'd.) The anchor bracket fastened to the front of the door casing is 
chrome as is the slotted countersunk screw passing down through it. No, 
you're not seeing double, that's a reflection off the pillar.

...............and also the transmission mounts which are supposed to be  
captured nuts.  I had to drill through the frame and bolt from  underneath.  I 
must say that Jansen dismisses the need for a sway bar  because of the stiffness 
of his frame.  Yes, there are differences that can  be aggravating, like the 
lack of depth of the pockets in the rear bulkhead when  you try to mount the 
rear shocks, and various predrilled holes for attaching  things like the rear 
seat pans.  I think, overall, he assumes you are as  accomplished as he is.

Gary,
I am in the same position as Alan. I live in Iceland most of the year where 
of course I own  a daily driver but could not get classic car insurance any 
where in Connecticut  unless I owned a driver car there also .I ended up 
keeping the car at my parents and registering it in my fathers name to get 
classic car insurance.
He does let me drive it when ever I want.

requires a daily driver for each household member regardless of
circumstances.  Admittedly, he does put in 23,000 miles per year (on the
bicycle, yes 23,000 miles) and does not drive to work  because he is 
retired.   The Healey and Jag
are driven less than 300 miles total per year.   Which I think is a crying 
shame.  My brother says that the E-Type with State Farm is actually
cheaper than the Healey with Hagerty.

I believe you still need a sway bar no matter how stiff the frame is.  In
fact, I just ordered a 3/4 bar from AH Spares.

...............and also the transmission mounts which are supposed to be
captured nuts.  I had to drill through the frame and bolt from  underneath.
I
must say that Jansen dismisses the need for a sway bar  because of the
stiffness
of his frame.  Yes, there are differences that can  be aggravating, like the

lack of depth of the pockets in the rear bulkhead when  you try to mount the

rear shocks, and various predrilled holes for attaching  things like the
rear
seat pans.  I think, overall, he assumes you are as  accomplished as he is.

I would like to ask you about a Healey with Bertone body from 1948. As far as
I know,  about 100 of these were built and sold in USA.
I am a freelance publicist writing books about car history (www.jankralik.cz).
Now I am preparing a book about Oldrich Uhlik, car body maker from Prague,
Czech Republic. He was offered to make a four-seat body on a Healey chassis.
The contrtact was signed at the Paris Carshow in 1947 between Morris and
Uhlik, who was asked to make 200 bodies for the US market. The first body was
finished in February 1948, the Morris company was very satisfied, but the
communist overtake in Czechoslovakia spoiled the business. Later in 1948
Nuccio Bertone made some 100 bodies on the Healey chassis. Does anybody have
any details about BertoneB4s design? Is there any BertoneB4s Healey?

You would be correct, Keith.  Been with them over 20 years.  However, every
pre-renewal notice I have upped my car a grand a year.  If you have a couple
high milage events you have planned, you just put in one of the boxes.  No

G'day Steve

That's really interesting. There are photos of a Bertone bodied Healeys on
p35 of Bill Emerson's book. 

I have never heard of a Czech coachbuilder building bodies for Healeys but
who's to say. Between Oct 1946 and the end of 1949 a total of 93 separate
rolling chassis were sold to various owners and coachbuilders. There is no
record of what bodies were fitted to these cars.

The Donald Healey Motor Company didn't build any bodies for their cars -
they had other's do it for them.

Yes I agree there is a degree of confusion between Morris, Austin and
Leonard Lord. I suspect he is also a little enthusiastic about the numbers
as well.

I would be happy to correspond with him direct if you would send me his
email address and if you could also send me the photo you refer to that
would be much appreciated.

There is no mileage restriction or event restriction on my Hagerty policy 
for my  Healey BN7  or my '66 MGB.  I have reviewed the policy and 
application carefully.  That's my "legal opinion".

How do you figure out the front a arm mounts on a healey as to their
alignment.  I think mine are ok but the front of the frame forward from the
cross member is dented and tweaked.  I can fix that fairly easily myself but I
cannot figure out from the drawings how to measure correctly those mounting
points as they are not straight on the frame but mounted slanted on the frame
and they are not a square piece but sort of oddly shaped.  Any ideas or
experience with this?  Currently I do have  the engine etc back in the car
with the suspension mounted but have not found a frame shop in San Diego
willing or capable of checking it out.  Thanks Pat Harris

Sounds like a hobby use to me. My understanding from Hagerty is that they 
don't place specific limits on mileage or activities, but rather try to determine 
on the basis of conversations between their staff and the owner that the 
owner will treat the car as a collectible automobile and intends to use it for 
hobby activities.

Hi everyone,
 
I have a positive earth BJ8 that I am putting back together.  I spent  the 
day getting the engine into basic tune when I noticed that the tach wasn't  
working.  I checked the wiring diagram again to assure that everything was  
connected correctly, from the tach to the ignition switch to the distributor and  
coil.  Everything seems right.  I do remember hearing about the  direction of 
the loop the white wire makes as it passes through the white nylon  clip on the 
back of the tach to the ignition switch; depending on whether  the ground was 
positive or negative.  I took that out and reversed its  direction and still 
no function.  Any ideas or knowledge as to why tachs  don't work??
 
TIA,
 
Bill Schumann

You can do this yourself with a spirit level. Set the frame level off 
the top face, leave the springs out of the front end and brake backing 
plates. Put a 2 inch spacer under the shock arm stop as in this photo -
http://www.acmefluid.com.au/larry/page10.html
Cut a piece of straight hollow square tube or timber 20 1/2 inches long 
to simulate the mean diameter of your tyres  and attach it vertically to 
the to the front of the stub axle forging using the brake backing plate 
holes with no screws coming through the outer face.
You can then easily check against the outer face of the tube/timber with 
a spirit level in both the front ahead and full lock positions. Over the 
length of the tube/timber each 1/8 inch off vertical equals 1 degree 
angle from memory.
If you get the choice I would be aiming for zero camber for a road car 
on radial tyres but you probably won't get that without fitting 
Kilmartin camber plates or the eccentric top shock bush. In my opinion 
the less positive camber the better.
I set my car up like this, it steers beautifully, doesn't scrub tyres 
etc etc.

Subject: [Healeys] Tachometer problems

Hi everyone,
 
I have a positive earth BJ8 that I am putting back together.  I spent  the 
day getting the engine into basic tune when I noticed that the tach wasn't  
working.  I checked the wiring diagram again to assure that everything was  
connected correctly, from the tach to the ignition switch to the distributor
and  
coil.  Everything seems right.  I do remember hearing about the  direction
of 
the loop the white wire makes as it passes through the white nylon  clip on
the 
back of the tach to the ignition switch; depending on whether  the ground
was 
positive or negative.  I took that out and reversed its  direction and still

no function.  Any ideas or knowledge as to why tachs  don't work??
 
TIA,
 
Bill Schumann

Message-ID: <bee.1e0ed646.34b18b76@aol.com>

Recently two BJ8's have sold on ebay with BMC Factory A/C installed .  
Through some brief research, these were supplied by Coolaire Manufacturing of  
Miami. They also supplied a/c units for Aston Martin, Jag, and MG all in circa.  
66. I have been able to uncover some information to include a partial copy  of 
installation brochure as well as parts picture. 
 
Is anyone on the list aware of this unit or have had or have one  installed 
on there car?  I would be interested in learning more about these  systems. 
 
Thanks,
Ken

Ken -

These OEM dealer kits aren't all that great, they take up all the space
behind the radio console and I understand they make it a complete nighmare
to do maintenance.  That plus the fact they are made to work with CFCs you
will still have to modify it to make it work, and it won't be all that
cold.  With all the modern kits out there, I think you can do much better
(and look better) using an aftermarket kit.

Message-ID: <686261.3422.qm@web82513.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

About 3 years ago, I bought a pristine trafficator for a 100 on eBay.

>From the photos, I think the trafficator I bought is as good or, maybe, slightly better than the one Michael Salter is currently listing on eBay.
 
There was a lot of bidding (as I recall, about 25 or 30 bids) and I had been practicing with a stopwatch...this was before the last-second bidding programs were easily available.
 
I was pleased on two counts...I got my bid in at the next-to-last second before the end of the auction and I won it at $305.

These things ebb and flow, but I would expect Michael's current unit to be an excellent indicator of the current value of your NOS (and my pristine) trafficator.

Obviously, I'll be disppointed if Michael's sale falls short of the $300-$400 range.

I'm going to guess that, if there are a few well-healed Concours-oriented folks on the market, your NOS trafficator may bring as much as $500-$600.

Just a guess.

Regards all.

I just discussed in my Sports Car Market column the Coolaire A/C units as one
of the period accessories that were available for British cars. I was loaned
a set of the brochures from Norman Nock at British Car Specialists. Just a
clarification note here: these were not "factory installed" but rather were
accessories offered to U.S. dealers by one of the U.S. BMC importers. They
were
sold and installed by the dealers.

Bill,
Let us know about your experience in dealing with them to establish your
policy. Incidentally, as soon as you reach agreement on the value of your car,
they should be able to issue coverage over the phone that is good for 30 days
while you complete the formal paperwork. For anyone buying a new classic car
this
instant coverage is a critical factor, especially if you're going to be
shipping the car somewhere else from where you bought it.

Cheers
Gary

   Listers,
   A friend of mine with an XJ12 could use a little help:
   "in  your  wisdom  on British cars, I noticed that the oil capacity on
   the Jag was 10.5 qt,

   but  the  "Top  up  min/max" is 2.7qt. Does this mean you can be 2.7qt
   above or below 10.5 qt?

   The  NAPA  dude  said it took 12 qt. and being trusting, I didn't give
   another thought, put

   12qt  in  and  then noticed I was about a quart high on the dip stick.
   Should I drain a quart

   or is it safe up to 13.2qt?

   It shows this "top up min/max" on the tranny to, but only 3qt.

   Ahhhh, more British specifications..."
   Any help from the pros and/or Jag owners appreciated.

And, believe it or not, there is a registry for the Coolaire units installed
in Healeys.  The registrar is Pat Yoas down in Texas.  He keeps track of the
serial numbers of Coolaire units, not the VINs of the cars.  If anyone is
interested in this, let me know and I'll put you in touch.

Pat provided me with a copy of the Coolaire manual, warranty card,
installation procedures, operating and maintenance instructions, parts list,
and evacuation/charging procedures.  The cover of Healey Highlights (AHCUSA
club) for May-June 1981 shows all the parts laid out on a driveway.  There
may have been an article about it in the magazine, but I don't have the
actual issue.
Warranty was given by British Motor Corp./Hambro, Inc., 734 Grand Avenue,
Ridgefield, NJ 07657.

In 2001 when Eric Grunden, Absolutely  British, was finishing the resto 
of my car, he offered me a NOS, in the box, adj. trafficator for an 
early BN1 which is different from others.  The price was $350 exchange.  
Mine worked perfectly but the Bakolite (spl?) was browning.  I thought 
it was a REAL STEAL and told him so, but fortunately he stuck to his 
price!  Maybe that was due to all the other $$$ I had already paid him, 
ya think?

Happy New Year to the list.
  Does anyone know the precise gap +/_0.010"between the rocker arms on a 3000 engine. I am looking to manufacture some aluminum spacers to replace the five springs. It is a mod on both the MGB and MGC and ensures that the centres of the valve stem and the rocker arm are consistant. Best regards

Bob -

Generally you are ok i f you are a little over, don't forget that once the
motor is run up that the oil level in the sump will go down.  Check your oil
while the motor is running and see what it says.

The main problem with overfilling is frothing of the oil if the crank is
splashing up the oil, but if you are only a quart over you should be ok -
remember the sump levels will change when you go up and down hill so even at
full capacity the sump oil level will still have some space above to the
crankshaft.

In 2001 I bought my BN1 5ft driver for $12,500.  I don't think you could
touch it today for less than double that price!  By the way my early BN1 is
doing great, back here in California on holiday and have been running it
around.  Absolutely brilliant!

Message-ID: <743b1e2f0801061404p369bfdd2m41c70c4abaec4ebf@mail.gmail.com>

My BN4 came to me with an autopulse series 2100 Fuel pump on it to replace
the original SU.   Today, the pump wasn't pulling gas, and I opened it up
and found the diaphragm had turned to black goo.

It is an old pump (probably 40 years old) and seems well built and looks
like it was meant to be on the car.  I found a place that sells rebuild kits
for it cheap (6.50 here
http://www.autoperformanceengineering.com/html/bel_pump.html).  The low
pressure version (which I have to assume I have) is 2.5-4 psi and new ones
are only $60.  I there any reason not to rebuild other than going back to
original.  Since it was on the car when I got it, I think i would like to
keep it unless there is something I am not thinking about.

Thanks
Patton

Hi Bob,

I think the 2.7 quarts are what is needed to take the level from the min on
the dipstick, up to the max line.  I think my XJ6 took about 9.5 quarts, and
the Top Up number was what it took to get from the min to the max lines.

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Tadek,

No, for your car you should have the Shelley LJ21 and it has a two piece 
handle.My car is probably about a month earlier than yours and the jack with 
it is stamped LJ21 55 on one side so yours would be the same or stamped 56. 
I4ll send photos seperately.

Hi all,

I have a friend with a BN4, which is in the process of being restored, 
and the car is now just about ready for paint. He would like to paint 
the car "Coronet Cream" in acrylic, however, it
seems very difficult to track down the correct paint code. A Healey 
specialist in the UK has provided one formula, but it turned out to be 
more "Dark Beige" than "Coronet Cream" when
a sample was mixed up!

Anyone happen to have the correct formula for "Coronet Cream" which can 
be used with currently available acrylics?

Thanks in advance,

Bill, I recently restored a 1953 MGTD which was "Cream" or "Ivory" , which 
were probably other names for Coronet Cream. I went through an exercise in 
futility trying the original formulas, without success. The modern paint 
bases and pigments are too different to use the old formulas. We had no luck 
with several mixed samples. They had a different hue and some had a 
fluorescent look to them.

Finally , at the suggestion of the DuPont paint rep,  we just got out some 
more recent paint chips and matched a chip with what I perceived as the 
cream color used. I did have some original paint to compare. We found a 
series of color chips used by Chrysler into the late 70s, which were close. 
I even remember one called Coronet Cream .

My paint shop then tweaked one of these to what I wanted. I used DuPont 
single stage urethane without clear coat , but the same would apply to 
acrylic.

Your friend may have more success doing the same with the paint chips of the 
brand he is using.

Bill,

Of course an owner can paint his car whatever he wishes, but please be aware 
that Coronet Cream was a Hundred colour introduced in September of '53 and 
ended in January '54. It was in commemoration of the crowning of Queen 
Elizabeth 2nd.

It was never offered after then.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake system rebuild
Message-ID: <BCDBE7EC-D0CD-4342-84A5-69364356B0D6@carlivar.com>

I'm going through the brakes on my 20-year-sitting BJ8. Have a bunch  
of questions if anyone has any tips/advice...

First, I assume it's a good idea to go through the wheel cylinders  
and calipers as part of a car revival like this. The master brake  
cylinder was in pretty bad shape (piston was stuck until I soaked it  
for a couple days and finally got it loose). Visual inspection of the  
calipers/wheel cylinders probably not enough.

Should take out the servo and go through that as well?

I'm thinking I will go with DOT-5 silicone fluid while I'm going  
through the whole thing and the lines are empty. This may be my best  
chance. It's expensive though... anyone know where to find the best  
price on DOT-5?

What color should I paint the clutch and brake master cylinder?  
Black? Any specific paint recommendation?

Also I find it surprising that the the brake master cylinder has a  
threaded rod at the pedal linkage end but not the clutch cylinder  
rod. I would think the clutch would be adjustable rather than the  
brake. Is this correct, or did a previous owner mix up the rods?

Finally is there anywhere to buy individual brake parts? Moss only  
sells the rebuild kits (rubber parts) or complete cylinders. I may  
just need a new piston, as mine is pitted (not so bad) but also has a  
tiny bit of raised corrosion (could score the cylinder if I don't  
sand it or something).

Thanks!
Carl

Fellow Listers,
I picked up a couple of 2 inch HD8 carbs off Ebay from an old Jag.  I want 
to put them on my BJ7 Healey at some point.  What do I need?  I have a set 
of old HD6 carbs.   The rod for the cam seems to fit fine but the cam that 
lifts the float does not fit.  I swapped out the bottom assembly (jet 
housing I believe) from the HD8 Jag carb that goes between the float bowl 
and the carb body with an HD6 unit.  The little brass arms do not look the 
same as the pics.  Does anybody out there have a couple of jet housings for 
an HD8?  Also, the float bowls are straight, therefore,  can't I just swap 
out my HD6 bowls and lids?  Are the HD8 castings between the Healey and the 
Jag significantly different and can this work?  Thanks!  Also, I'm having 
email problems so please ignore repeat emails.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear shock absorbers and link question
Message-ID: <537554.81683.qm@web50407.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

The rear shock absorbers are off my BN2 (20-25 years
off the road) and after a cleanup to remove all the
'protective' crud  I was surprised to find them still
filled with oil and functional.  I can slowly move the
arm back and forth using a good deal of force, just
like the shop manual describes.

Is there a more precise way to determine if the shocks
need a full rebuild?  Or should I have them rebuild
anyway? 

Also is the shock link rebuildable?  Rubber is worn,
bolts/nuts rusted.  Do I just buy new ones?  I noticed
the new links are 'welded tubes' not the nicely cast
links.  

thanks,

Bert

Bert,

The welded tube version of the links was originally for the BJ8, I believe. 
  Apple Hydraulics rebuilds the cast links.

Tadek,
 
The  LJ31 is not proper for BN1s or BN2s.  
 
Some  early BN2s would use a King Dick B1077 up to C.229080.  Most  BN2s 
would have been equipped with an LJ21.
 
In  the July, 1991 issue of  Austin Healey Magazine there is an  article by

Carl,

IMO, you have to go completely through the system.  Brakes are just too 
important, and after 20 years probably all the parts will be gunked-up 
with degenerated fluid.

- Remove, clean and inspect all cylinders
- Thoroughly inspect all hard lines--if rusted consider replacing
- Go through calipers and replace pistons with stainless steel
- Check all bores--re-sleeve or replace if necessary (aluminum cylinders 
CANNOT be honed)
- Replace all rubber components, inc. flex lines
- If your M/C was gunked-up, your servo will likely be as well.  Servo 
rebuild is doable for a competent amateur (check the archives for much 
discussion).  If you don't rebuild it, it'll malfunction sooner 
(probably) or later.
- Replace vacuum line to servo and check functioning of check valve
- Your brake switch might be INOP after sitting for so long--replace if 
necessary
- If you want to use DOT 5 (I like it) you'll need to thoroughly flush 
all lines with denatured alcohol or other "dry" solvent and purge 
completely with dry compressed air (don't forget the reservoir and lines)
- I'd go through clutch cyls as well (while you're at it, install Mr. 
Finespanner's clutch bleed line extension)

The Shelly "6-inch" jack that is listed on eBay below should have an "L"

Didn't realize this. Is that different from typical old American

Good to know, will do.

Right... I was told that the servo is incompatible with DOT5 though.  
Is that still the case if I rebuild it (replace the seals)? I'm  
guessing not...

Yeah got the master clutch cylinder out already. The inside is in  
better shape but the outside is worse than the brakes. Need to get at  
the slave cylinder next... gotta go through the gearbox tunnel I  
guess. And yes I will *definitely* install that bleeder extension.  
What a pain otherwise!

Yep.  Think most American cars--older ones anyway--have iron cylinders.  
BTW, my BJ8's original M/Cs were aluminum, but the newer replacements 
were iron (rear slaves are Al).  There's some disagreement as to which 
is correct (I think Al is).  Don't think either should be painted.

I've been running DOT5 in my car for probably 20 years.  The original 
servo lasted for 140K miles, and I've got about 10K on the rebuild.  The 
servo is essentially another M/C that is vacuum driven, with an 
operating valve driven by the primary M/C.

You can get the slave out from below, but you have to be a small-handed 
contortionist ;)  AFAIK, it's OK to media blast the outside of the cyls.

Gentlemen,

The pot style Shelley  LJ225 jack painted red-orange is correct for the BJ7. 
It likely would still be early enough that it didn't yet have the built up 
reinforced section around the tommy bar handle hole. These early ones broke 
away easily. On the activating yoke has CA259 cast into it. Later ones with 
the thickened reinforced opening had CA311 cast into it.

The LJ31 has no application to Healeys as far as we know.

The Alloy cylinders have anodized bores and honing removes the anodized 
layer destroying the sealing surface. The bores, in normal service, are not 
usually damaged and most I have seen were just coated with a gummy substance 
I assume is solidified brake fluid. I've always had good luck cleaning them 
up with dish soap and hot water. If the deposits are stubborn I use soft 
scrub and an old toothbrush to clean it out. Afterward I rinse them with hot 
water and put them in a warm oven (225 degrees will work) to dry them out. I 
suppose it's possible for the bores to be scratched if grit has been allowed 
inside or to be pitted if they have been wet, but that's unusual.

Good to know. I definitely have an example of pitting in the

fluid will do it!

Thanks for the feedback all. Looks like I'll be getting new sleeves or  
new cylinders entirely.

Hello,

This is off topic slightly, but there is a site for Volvo 1800 with a lot of
literature that is also applicable for Healeys.
Try:
http://volvo1800pictures.com/sweden/Volvo_1800_dokumentation_main_page_en.ht
m
And scroll down the page - about half way there is stuff on brakes, OD,
Lucas, etc.

If anyone reads Swedish, there is also the BMC SU Service manual in Swedish:
http://volvo1800pictures.com/document/rep_su/SU%20Forgasare%20reparationshan
dbok_small%201966.pdf

There is also an Laycock De Normanville overdrive presentation here:
http://volvo1800pictures.com/video/bildband/Overdrive%20TP%2071035%20.wmv
The slides have no text, but the voice is in Swedish. (I love the tone of
the speaker ;-)

Happy reading,

Tadek

Tadek,
 
The LJ31 is not proper for BN1s or BN2s. 
 
Some early BN2s would use a King Dick B1077 up to C.229080.  Most BN2s would
have been equipped with an LJ21.
 
In the July, 1991 issue of  Austin Healey Magazine there is an article by
Roger Moment that provides great detail.
 
So, what cars were equipped with an LJ31?
 
Best Regards,
 
Bill

Seems his brother (they still speak!!) threw out the side curtains when

Carl:
I have just rebuilt my entire braking system as described exactly.  Advice I
received was to switch to silicon partly to avoid the nasty green buildup I
found throughout the system.  After a complete rebuild would be the perfect
time to do that. There are other pros and cons.

Hi,

I was looking at my .pdf 3000 manual on my PC just now and realized that
it's missing pages MMM.7 to MMM.12 inclusive, which comprise "Section MMM.15
Brake Servo". I suppose the manual, AKD1179D, just predates the servo's
introduction.

Does anyone have these pages? I'd be most grateful if someone could email
them to me. 

Thanks,

I just slid out my trafficator to center my steering wheel.  After getting

Hi Kenny,
It sounds to me as though you may have 2 problems here. 
One terminal of each of the horns on a Healey is constantly powered (purple
wire). The other terminal is wired all the to the horn button (purple and
black wire). When the horn button is pressed this connects the purple and
black wire up at the button to ground and the horns sound. 
The fact that your horns sound when they are attached to the chassis of the
car indicates a probable problem with the horns themselves. 
With this fixed you should still not get a ground on the purple and black
wire until the button is pressed. I suspect that you have a frayed wire on
the stator tube harness of the switch is assembled incorrectly.

Does anyone have any experience with these interiors offered by Sports and
Classics? I've been searching for a red interior for my BN4. I know about the
reputation of Heritage nd have seen examples of their work. I've checked Moss
and AH Spares as well. To me all of them offer a red interior that is too dark
- more of an antique red than the original, closer to an XK Jag than a Healey
colour. The bright red offered by Sports and Classics may be a bit more orange
than the Healey colour but seems much closer to the original than any other
samples I've seen. While the colour looks good, I'd like to know about how
well these kits fit.

Opinions please.

Thanks

Hello all,

I have just received some samples of Heritage's new red, they call "Poppy 
Red" and I think it's the answer to our problems of getting the "right" red 
for our Healey Roadster interiors. It's a rich bright red, not dark as 
previous, and not too orange. The vinyl sample has a fairly fine pebbly 
texture, but I think quite acceptable.
I am recommending it as the choice for a current customer's project we're 
doing.

Well done Heritage.

Rich Chrysler

Kenny -

It is quite likely that when you put it together the contacts on the back of
the switch are now crossed with each other.  Alternatively, if you popped
the horn button out when you took the switch out, if you reassmbled it and
the spring is not centered correctly, you will get the same result.  I
suspect it is something like that since it happened when you took the switch
out and put it back.

Best,

Alan

The examples I've seen of coronet cream (photos only) are about the same 
shade as Breyers Coffee ice cream... MMMMMM.

I watched an ancient Perry Mason rerun last night (The Case of the
Waylaid Wolf).  The star of the show was a white (as much as you can
tell on B/W TV) BN6 with bolt on steel wheels.  It had a pretty
prominent part in the action, especially when the scared girl tried to
put it into first gear without using the clutch.  The grinding noise was
horrible but the sound of the car starting and revving up was real.
The old Perry reruns seem to contain several shots of Healeys but this
had the most I've ever noticed.  Who says old-timey TV ain't worth
staying up for....

There is also a Perry Mason rerun with a 100S in a shop. The episode
involves a Southern California racer. There is also some Paramount Ranch
racing footage.

Jim, we have some used restorable side curtains for both the  
Longbridge car as well as the rest of the cars.
We also some used 100/4 side curtains that are restorable.

2008 Classic India - 1000 miles in a Morris Oxford





Sept 20th to October 1st



Imagine flying to India and on arrival being handed the keys to a fully
insured British Classic Car. Imagine having a day on the beach and then
getting up early the next morning to start a 1000 mile adventure that found
you driving high up in the mountains of southern India. Imagine travelling
roads where few westerners

visit. Imagine spending a night in a maharaja's palace. Imagine sipping tea in
an old British hill station followed by a drive through the highest, most
beautiful tea plantations in the world.



Imagine doing all this with 60 other like minded individuals, all the while
being looked after by a team dedicated to ensuring you have a trip of a
lifetime.

Speaking of Perry Mason and Healeys, back in the 70's, my father-in-law shot
a public service spot for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms that
featured both Raymond Burr and our 1965 BJ8. They had to remove the radio
antenna for the shot, which was the last time the radio worked until we got
it fixed a couple of years ago. Unfortunately he no longer has the film
stock. That would be a cool thing to have now.

Hello, Healeyphiles -

I received an e-mail from a BJ8 owner from Denmark who is planning a trip to
the New York/Long Island area around 22 January.  He asks if there are any
Healey parts sources there (new and/or used).  I have a few ideas, but
thought it best to ask the fount of all Healey wisdom.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hello all,

A Happy New Year from Queensland, Australia.

Some info for the 100-6 Registar, We are about to have another restored
100-6 on the road.

The car was originally sold in Fort Worth - Texas and arrived in Oz quite
some time ago.

Details follow:-

Car/Chassis number       BN4-L-S/45267

Body Number                5268

Engine Number              29D/RU/H5872.

Restoration has taken 5 years and entailed a total stripdown to chassis
rails and then a rebuild, it was a very rust hulk but looks extremely nice
now.

Painted OEW with 'Sunset Bronze' coves and sits on 60 spoke Chromed wire
wheels, engine has extensive mods (will provide details is requested.)

Happy Healeying to all,

Rod Shepherd.

G'day Rod

Many congratulations. I am sure that many on the list share your elation
with you.

I keep a list of Healeys and Austin-Healeys in Australia and while your car
has been there for some time I now have the body number and colour. So far I
have 1,376 cars on the list but I know there are more.

Again my congratulations.

G'day Alan

The thought of going even 5 miles in a Hindustan Ambassador gives me the
willies. However I know of a Healey Tickford in New Delhi that would be a
lot more fun.

Some years back there was a round of the World Rally Championship in India.
Phillip Young who went on to organise such major events as the Peking to
Paris entered a rally prepared 3000.

He was up against modern rally cars but the bulk of the rally was at high
altitudes and as you could imagine appeared to be all up hill. Guess what
car was leading the rally?

Yes it was the privately entered 3000 out in front of all the factory teams.
It looked as if it would win until it broke its suspension. Sad!

Phillip was publishing his own magazine at the time (Sporting Cars???) and
the photos of the car flying up the mountains were magnificent. 

There were bloody Hindustan Ambassadors all over the place.

If you read the essays on the web site the people talk about the cars as a 
bit of rustic, underpower, but they enjoyed the travel mode vs a tourist 
bus.  Could be interesting.

Message-ID: <bc1.2521768e.34b7bac0@aol.com>

I've started researching an article on insurance for Austin-Healey Magazine 
and have picked up a few additional tidbits:

Talking to my regular State Farm Agent, I learned that they offer two options 
for collectible cars:
"Antique and Classic" coverage for a collectible car that is insured in 
addition to the policy holder's regular cars, is used for shows and parades, and is 
driven less than 1000 miles per year. If the car is stolen or damaged beyond 
repair, the company pays up to the "stated value" on the policy, based on the 
car's actual value at the time of loss. Sounds like a reasonable policy for an 
appraised trailer queen. My car, appraised at $35k would add about $150 a 
year in premiums to my policy cost.

"Extra Car" coverage is available for any car that is insured in addition to 
the policy holder's regular cars and is driven less than 7500 miles per year. 
The car can be used for any purpose. If it is stolen or destroyed beyond 
repair, the car will be repaired or replaced at "fair market value." The rate for 
this additional coverage is based on the fair market value as listed in one of 
the standard appraisal guides, and obviously would be the maximum the company 
would pay out, but the company determines the fair market value at the time of 
loss. This seems like a good policy for a person who doesn't want to be 
burdened by arguing with the company after a loss and wants to use the car for 
routine transportation once in awhile, but in my case it would add $350 a year to 
my rates, the rates and potential settlement would be based on a published 
appraisal guide, and the company would have the upper hand in deciding what they 
should pay me in any eventual settlement or total loss. 

Here's another kicker I learned in talking to my agent: under one of these 
two policies I can insure a drivable car that is parked in my garage even if it 
is registered with the state as non-operational , BUT if I start to restore 
it, dismantle it and, say, send the engine off for a rebuild, then it is not 
insurable as an automobile, because it is in pieces and can't be driven, AND the 
project is not covered by my homeowner's policy, because that type of policy 
specifically excludes cars and car parts. So if I start a restoration, to 
protect my project from earthquake, fire, and flood, I'm going to have to go to one 
of the specialist collectible car insurance agencies. Maybe other companies 
differ from State Farm, but if you're in that situation, you might care to 
check into this.

Hope that's useful.

My point wasn't that State Farm is good, but rather that if you're seeking
classic car insurance, you might first check with your own regular insurance
company if you can live with a stated value or fair market value settlement on
your Healey. Of course, the most important reason for having insurance isn't
to
protect the value of your Healey, it's to keep you out of court in the event
of damage or injury to someone else, and then it doesn't matter whether you
were driving an SUV or a Sprite.

In the words of someone...
No s**t, Sherlock!

If you take away NOTHING else from this discussion, know the following:

Stated Value is not the same as Agreed Value.

Agreed value reaches an agreement in advance as to what the payment will be
if the car is totalled.
Stated value allows you to state a value on which the policy rates will be
based, but the insurance company still will only pay what they consider to be
the replacement value up to the stated value on your policy. If they choose to
offer you less than the stated value, it will be up to you to prove that
they're wrong.
FWIW, my State Farm agent said, "'Agreed Value,'? I never heard of that
term."

Cheers
Gary

I checked that website, since I are an editer.

I saw something on it that, as a professional appraiser, I am very concerned
about.


How Do I Set My Agreed Value?
 Get a professional appraisal.
 The purpose of an Agreed Value is to match the actual market value of the
auto as closely as possible. It is not meant to cover any extra intrinsic
value
you may place on the car for personal reasons. We have a pretty good idea as
to the appropriate value of most autos, given their mileage, condition,
history, custom modifications etc.
 Just fill out the order form, send them in with the pictures and payment. We
will send you a written appraisal that you can give to your insurance
company.

No reputable appraiser would EVER agree to give you an appraisal on the basis
of a written description and photographs. In fact, it is counter to the
professional practices of the American Society of Appraisers, the only
government-recognized appraisal group in the U.S.
A valid appraisal can only be done on the basis of a personal inspection of
the property being appraised. I would question whether a mail-order appraisal
would hold up in a legal dispute over value.

Once again, I'm not a lawyer, nor an insurance agent, so don't rely on this
advice without checking it with your own insurance company or lawyer.

I don't wish to argue with Gary's findings ,  but some caution may be
prudent with the wording of "stated value" . This is not the same as "agreed
value"

I went through a discussion about this with my local State Farm rep, and
determined they did not offer agreed value insurance, which is what we want
on a collector car..

The attached link explains somewhat the different types of coverage.

http://www.accuratevalue.com/classic_insurance.html

I am not a representative of this company, not do I have my coverage with
them ( I use Grundy; Hagerty also has agreed coverage).  The information
here is generic to all companies. It is prudent not to assume anything from
the general meaning of wordage (even if your are an "editor"  :>)  when you
are dealing with insurance companies.

Now our esteemed editor is indignant and defensive-

This is not what his first post said or recomended as he focused on the 
"merits' of stated value.
Hope the magazine is article is more infrmative.

Thankd for the clarity Dr. Holmes, now that you read the website.

Ah, there's the rub.
Talking with Hagerty, I asked what the relationship was between the classic
car company and the company writing the standard policy -- note that you have
to have regular insurance on a regular car before Hagerty or the other classic
car companies will cover your classic car with their policy.
He said that the proviso is there, in part, to make sure that in the event of
a liability claim on another car that the classic car owner might be driving,
  there is a mainline insurance company to step in and protect the owner
against that liability claim.
In non-legal terms, as I understand that, if you hit someone with your
Healey, your classic car company might be able to protect you, but if you hit
someone with one of your other cars, then your regular company would step in
to
protect you, rather than your classic car company.

BTW, at this stage in this discussion, I'm going to opt out and start trying
to boil all this down to 2000 words for an article. I strongly encourage
anyone who is confused or concerned, to pick up the phone, dial the number on
the
wallet cards for their insurance companies, and ask their own insurance
company
to explain everything that isn't absolutely clear. Don't wait until you're
involved in an accident to try to sort it all out.

Cheers
Gary

FWIW always have verbal(phone) advice confirmed in writing even if it is your 
own interpretation of the discussion sent to them. Should you become involved 
in a claim, the last word written by you and not refuted by the insurer will 
establish a base line for discussions. Remember,'a verbal is not worth the 
paper it is written on' and while I am in such a wise mood , the definition of 
an expert-'x is an unknown value and spurt is a drip under pressure'.Ask my 
wordsmith colleague Quinn what a drip is. Have a nice day

Gary was only commenting on the"Appraisal" stuff from the page you gave us and
I TOTALLY agree with him.

His prose was:  "I saw something on it that, as a professional appraiser, I am
very concerned about."

I too would be considered a pro as I have been paid for a goodly number of
Appraisals, and I also would NEVER do that "written + photos" route!!

Hello Fellow Listers,

Here's best wishes to you all for a healthy and happy 2008 with your  
families, work, and cars (at least that's the order in my world). I  
need some advice on sending my car to a local (here in IL) restorer  
for some work on my shock mounts which are stripped. While there, I  
thought I'd have him check on other matters and help take care of some  
issues I'm not prepared to tackle yet, and to ask his opinion about  
things I should consider. I've followed the list closely this past 6  
months, and read as much as possible...particularly Gary Anderson's  
suggestions on the matter. But I'm learning...

Can I give the shop's name and ask for opinions? Don't want to offend  
or break any rules of the list.

Ed -

Definitely.  Generally the rule is you can ask for opinions of people's work
and shops.  As long as it's a fair assesment in response and not personal I
don't think anyone will have an issue if you are asking for an opinion of
someone's work.

Put it this way, you are probably spending hundreds if not thousands of
dollars on your car, you have every right to know if your guy is good or
not.

One of the things I thought we had agreed to do was to allow the question to be posed to the entire list with answers back personally to the person who asked.  That way, we eliminate the risk of saying something "bad/misleading/personal in a public forum.

Hello,

I am curious what are the differences between the H6 carb for TR3 AUC786 and
the carb for 100M. I understand the M carb should be AUC739?

Do they have different needles or is there more to them??..

Thanks, Tadek

Tadek -

The TR3 carbs are oriented differently and will not fit on a Healey -
the float bowls are set up with an opposing mirror orientation
wheraeas on the healey they have a left hand orientation.  In addition
the choke levers and mounts are totally different.

Of course the needles and springs are different too.

Not worth the trouble....

OK Listers, here goes.

The shop is Sport and Specialty in Durand, IL and according to their  
website they have 30 years' experience in British car restoration. I'm  
interested in the experiences of any listers with this shop, owned by  
Mark Baker. Mr. Baker has been very kind on the phone, and a local  
former Healey owner near me had good experience with his Healey there;  
that car is now sold. Currently they are working on his Aston.

Please feel free to contact me off-list, especially with any  
"negative" comments.

With many thanks,

  Hi,
   
  I have been a satisfied customer of Mark Baker for the last 10 years. He is currently doing a rather complete restoration on my BN 6. I have found him to be honest and trustworthy-he will "tell you like it is"! He strives for perfection and it shows in his work!  Visit his facility and you will be impressed.
   
  I am a member of the Midwest Chapter and will probably run into you one of these day.
   
  Best wishes

As an aside, can anyone recommend a good machine shop in the Phoenix,
Arizona area? All the good machine shops I used to know have closed in
recent years and I've had to start sending my machine work to
California because I can't find a decent shop here. (And I've got to
get my Jensen Healey finished so I can start on my AH3000)

Thanks in advance!

I've had Hagerty insurance for years on my 3000s.  Have needed their help 
only once, and that was for their towing service.  My BT7 MK2 (center shift) 
managed to get locked in reverse while visiting a car collection on a club 
tour.  Called the 800 number, they took my location and other info, promised 
the flatbed would be there in 30 minutes.  The rig arrived in 25 minutes, 
was a special flatbed w/ air suspension on the rear so it could "squat". 
The driver was very careful loading and securing my car. A VERY satisfactory 
experience.

John,
Just curious, I'm wondering what caused your trans to lock in reverse as 
I also have a center shift (BN7).

I also have Hagerty.  I took a very big rock ding 45 min outside of Nelson BC at last year's rendezvous.  Once back in CA I called, they had me get an appraisal at the shop of my choice and send em photos.  They asked if I wanted a check in my name or the shop and where to send the check.  No squabble, very easy to deal with.  At the time they recommended that I increase the agreed to value since values were going up and I had done lots of work on the car so I did.

Message-ID: <225845.53375.qm@web50407.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Nice article about local Ellery Engel's restoration
shop in Piru near Los Angeles / Ventura 

The article focuses on the use of his shop in movies. 
About a year ago a scene with Peter Falk and Nicolas
cage was shot for the movie 'Next'.  Most cars had to
leave the shop, except for an E-type that is bolted to
a jig, a Maserati 3500GT and my BN2 nearing metal work
completion.

I saw the movie but will have to rent the DVD and use
the freeze frame function as my car is only visible
for a split second and hardly recognizeable.

Ellery is well known for his Healey metal work in the
greater LA area region.

And thay is great.  BUT    EVERY    year when I get my re-newal form I ALWAYS
up the coverage $1000.00 and have been doing so for awhile!!!

Elvis ( who has his birthday in Jan.) 'It Happened  at the State Fair'

My memory was not as good as I thought as I remembered a white car.
I wonder who was instrumental in having the Healey as a star car? Was it 
negotiated and paid by the distributors or just a favourite of the crews?

fuels, sports car performance and the latest results at LeMans with 
diesels. Cars shown are;Audi LeMans and road cars, Porsches at LeMans, 
Mercedes 300SLR as driven by Moss and Fangio and Ferrari F.1. Also 
featured are Rudolf Diesel and Harry Richardo.
Why list this ?  Right up there is a photo of a Healey 100 race no. 33 
from the 1953 LeMans race.
One of two cars entered. One of these NOJ cars is currently being 
heavily promoted as a significant period race car with exceptional 
history as a Donald Healey Motor Company built and raced 'Works' 
competition car. Steve McQueen even gets a mention for his 1971 film 
'LeMans'
When I saw the film with a group from our Healey club it was very tense 
with the camera in-car showing the Porsche on the rev. limit half way 
down the straight until some Healey wit shouted "knock it into 
overdrive....."

Speaking of which:

Feb 2008 issue of Motorhome, p 21. advertiser is Spartan Chassis, a supplier 
of diesel pusher chassis to various manufacturers of class A motorhomes.

The theme is basically a comparison of their product to a sports car - which 
they call a luxury car, using phrases like 'open road' and 'wind in your 
hair'.

Which car is in the photo - you guessed it - obviously a white Healey 4 seat 
roadster, complete with wind wings, luggage rack, and an ecstatically waving 
female passenger.

Proves yet again that our Healeys still 'do it' for people (although how 
many of us still have enough hair left to wave in the wind is another 
issue.)

Check it out.

For Southern Ontario, Canada people, sad to see the obituary for Al Souter.
Proprietor of Souter's Sports Car Parts on Hwy 6 near Hamilton, he was a
colourful fixture of the sports car and amateur racing scene in the sixties.
Among other exploits, he ran the Canadian Winter Rally in a Lotus Seven.  More
stories:
http://www.wheels.ca/article/124219

As a naive 21-year-old I bought my BN 6 at his emporium in April 1971 for $
200.  Still have it.  He also worked with us at Mike Salter's Precision Sports
Cars awhile.

Happy trails, Al.

These pins are "roll pins" which should be available from machine parts 
suppliers.  They are made of sheet metal rolled into a circle to stay in 
place by the spring action of the rolled metal.  They are driven out with a 
punch and reinstalled with a mallet or hammer.

Richard, et al,

The roll pins were only used on the early application of the centre shift 
gearboxes, namely the later Mk 2 BN7, BT7 and BJ7. The BJ8 used the 1/4" NF 
hex head capscrews with the ends machined down as John describes.
If the roll pins of the early models are to be removed, they actually are 
drifted from left and right into the gear lever ball and the lever pulled 
out. Then the pins can be retreived from the ball.

Message-ID: <000d01c85596$537103f0$7c4dfc04@markl946cfrd7q>

I received a couple of outside mirrors from Moss that need a bit
of tweaking.    All main parts are Chrome and look good,  except the back of
the mirror itself (go figure)..   It's polished  metal but not done very
well.

There are very noticeable swirl marks in the metal.  Either the job wasn't
finished or  Mohamed grabbed the wrong buffing compound.

Yes I can return the mirrors if I want.  But I need mirrors and these things
would work well if I can get the swirls marks out and the price was right. All
the mirrors in stock look the same, per the Moss salesman.

Of course I don't want to make them any worse.

Can you guys give me some swirl removal ideas.   If not,  they're going back.

Mark,

You can do the same thing as they do at the factory but spend a bit more time at it - use jewelers rouge and a good soft cotton buffing wheel.  The results should be just fine provided you don't buff right through the plating!

That is the full name of the UK magazine. It's only relatively new and 
obviously not well known.

Maybe the Advertorial will be repeated in other mags.

Mitch -

You are best to just get a complete used gearbox O/D unit and put that in.
There are alot of them around and they aren't that expensive at the end of
the day.

The gearbox mainshafts on OD / non-OD models are different lengths, which
means to put on the OD you have to find an OD mainshaft to begin with then
you have to rip apart and rebuild the whole gearbox to put it in even before
you put on the OD unit itself...

I agree. Modifying a non-OD transmission can be done, but requires a lot of 
parts which may be hard to come by. There are transmission/OD units on Ebay 
most of the time although they are a little pricey.

The up side is that you should already have the 3.909:1 final drive, which 
when combined with the OD, will give your car some real legs on the road. 
NICE...

Mark,

If you want to bypass the junk  (most of the time) and spend some bucks go 
to Talbot.com and purchase a Talbot mirror, made in W. Germany and period 
correct for all Healeys. Exceptional craftsmanship, but of course you pay 
for it.

The chance of a good trany  from Ebay is  very small.    Most need to be 
rebuilt, and good parts are extremely expensive.    One has to ask 
themselves why anyone would actually sell a perfectly good Healey 
Transmission on Ebay when they could easily sell it locally to a friend or 
club member and bypass all the headaches in shipping these beastly things.

I purchased 5 tranys on Ebay at various times and all had various problems. 
I was able to combine enough parts to make one good unit but still had to 
purchase many new parts to make it last and worth my time.

At the time I really , really wanted to keep the car original in order to 
get the true Healey experience which I had never had before.   I easily have 
$2500.+  invested to get one unit on the road, plus my time.

Knowing what I know now,  I would have taken a more serious look at the 
Smitty conversion.

I never suggested to buy a used gearbox from Ebay.... If I were doing this,
I would buy it used from Bill Bolton or someone similar who actually
rebuilds the units.

Mitch,

If you go for a used overdrive gearbox assembly, you have the definite 
advantage of having your own known good gearbox. All the internal gears are 
the same. If you had to, you could use your good parts, do new bearings, 
synchros and seals and the longer o/d input shaft from the o/d box you find, 
and you'd be all set without doing the unthinkable of deviating away from a 
proper Healey gearbox.

I am pretty sure that BN4s, BN6s, and early BN7/BT7s came with a 4.1 rear
end with overdrive and a 3.9 rear end w/o.  I don't think they introduced
the 3.5 rear end until the Mk1 came out sometime.

Yes, I got a BN1 gearbox from Leo Rouf also.  He is very good, he knows what

All this is true and I wouldn't dream of buying a component like that and 
not rebuilding it. It's best to assume you are buying a core. If you can 
find one cheap enough though you might pick up the parts you need to build 
the box you want. I noticed there is one on Ebay now that could provide the 
needed parts and the OD. It's cheap and may have internal problems but might 
provide a mainshaft and adapter plate as well as an OD core. I would assume 
work would be required to make them viable.

On the other hand I have seen trannies and ODs listed as having been rebuilt 
with some good feedback numbers. Those are the expensive ones. I'm not sure 
how you can assure satisfaction at a distance. There is always a risk.

Subject: [Healeys] hydraulic clutch question
Message-ID: <C3B02734.2684A%steveg@abrazosdata.com>

I'm redoing my Smitty setup with a BJ8 flywheel and diaphragm clutch, and
need to make a new slave pushrod and have a question:
At rest, does the throwout bearing basically ride on the clutch?

In other words, when the clutch is at rest is the pushrod of sufficient
length to hold the TO brg against the clutch bearing surface?

The Toy setup doesn't have any mechanism to back off the TO bearing clear of
the clutch, like a mechanical linkage does. From the Moss book, it looks
like there is no such mechanism on the stock clutch either.

When you let off the clutch the forks push the piston back in the bore, and
the length of the pushrod basically keeps everything taught. With a shorter
pushrod, you won't get more slack between the TO and the clutch--you just
won't be pushing the piston back in the bore quite as much.

Would like to confirm this--sounds dumb and obvious but want to make sure
it's all cool so I don't have to r&r the trans a buncha times.

Thanks in advance.

Message-ID: <C3B02D64.2684B%steveg@abrazosdata.com>

When it came time to replace the rear seal and its spring, came up with a
way of using straight pins on either side to get rid of the need to bring
the spring around the crank, then hook the microscopic eyes on the end of
the spring, while simultaneously installing the spring in its groove.

Thus the seal can be installed with the spring in place. This also means the
seal can be installed "normally" with the spring toward the inside of the
engine.

There should be a couple of numbers stamped on a near horizontal surface 
at the top of aluminum center section. Just to the drivers side of 
center on a LHD car. For a 4.1 ratio, the numbers would be 10/41. The 
number of teeth on the pinion & ring gears respectively.  11/39 would be 
a 3.55 ratio, etc. Unless someone has changed the ratio without changing 
the marking.

OR to verify,
For a 4.1 ratio, if you rolled the car exactly one wheel revolution,  
the driveshaft would rotate 4.1 revolutions.

If you can see the top of the rear axle there are some numbers stamped near 
the top of the differential carrier on the flange. it will look like "43/11" 
or "41/10" or "39/11". These are the tooth counts on the ring gear and 
pinion gear respectively. Just divide through and the ratios fall out as 
3.909:1, 4.1:1 and 3.545:1. This is of course assuming that no one has 
changed the ring and pinion.

Steve -

Your throwout bearing should not be "riding" on the clutch when in the rest
position.  It should be just backed off slightly very similar to a disc pad
in the rest position on a disc brake.  If it's riding on the clutch housing
that will result in premature wear of the throwout bearing as well as the
driven plate and your flywheel.

I have two BN6 tranny's and I plan on making one good tranny out of
both, but I've never rebuild one of these 
before.  Any info. on taking one apart??   Source for parts when I need
them,    big learning curve for me.
I hope the list can help when the time comes.

What usually needs replacing??

I know one of them needs a new first gear....  Also doesn't stay in
first gear unless you hold it in..
Not sure the condition of either from that, one with the broken first
gear came out of my car..

I want to get the paint chipping on the Healey frame blended/feathered
or filled with putty before painting. Primer is not filling up the
chips. Harbor Freight has a few sander choices and air is probably less
weight and smaller than electric. Right?
Should I get a random orbital jitterbug that uses rectangular strips or
a random orbital that uses the round pads?

Message-ID: <997563.2837.qm@web55202.mail.re4.yahoo.com>

Brethren of the List
    What is the collective wisdom on rebuilding an early steering box?  (BN-1 BN-2)  I am making three into two as one of the three has a cracked case.  I can use the best two parts from the three available.
    So, how do I tell the best from the worst?  I'm talking about the subtle stuff.  I can tell a pitted bearing race or grooved shaft  at the lip seal.
     The worm gears all show wear.  How much of this can be adjusted out by setting the pin depth?  Any tricks to picking the best one besides close visual inspection.  Does anyone make a replacement worm gear?  The follower pins are available but my pins don't seem to show much wear.  How do I check them?
    What should I look for in the shaft to case fit?  Should I check the case / bushing with inside micrometer?  What are the specs.  How come the bushings for the idler are $7 and the one for the steering box is $70 something??  It's not 10 times as long.
    Since this is mix and match I have no reference on how many shims it might take to set the bearing clearance on the worm gear.  The book says how to check it in the car with the wheel on but I'm on the bench.  Any way to measure or what to feel for?
    Last what is the fix for the not available felt bushing at the top of the steering column?
Thanks Guys

What color IS that?
It's an absolutely gorgeous color, especially in combinaton with the chrome 
wire wheels. Unfortunately, that combination would have serious difficulty 
making Gold on the Concours Registry standards since those standards have been 
structured to discourage use of non-Healey colors.
But I doubt if Kurt's potential market cares much about being historically 
correct, as long as the restoration work is to high quality standards and the 
car is likely to get ohhs and ahhs from impressionable friends.

I don't know the official color, but it is aston martin sage green.  
There were a few (three I think) LeMans Healeys painted a color very  
close to it. Sort of the green version of Healey Blue!

Hi Simon
I tried asking a question and sent it twice but the text seems to off been
stripped, just leaving the usual crap that Hotmail and Yahoo link to your
message. Hopefully this one will get through as I'm trying from home and hope
its something to do with works firewall?
My question was does anyone know the size of the later bj8 rear shock mounting
bolts, I seem to off misplaced the old ones. The part manual shows AHB9996 and
I think they are 7/16 and 1.1/4 or 1.1/2 inch long. Thanks for any replies if
this gets thru. Andy

Ray,

Good luck.  Never have had to look for the bushing but had a thought.  How about checking with heating/AC installers?  They may have some insulation material for the lines that will fill the bill.

First of all, I LOVE IT, but looks like a BJ8 intake manifold. Are  
those mats on the floor? Or, is the floor carpet different than the  
gearbox cover. Looks like the parcel shelf carpet is different than  
the gearbox cover also. Carb dashpots shouldn't be polished (but mine  
are). Are the brake drums body color? If so they shouldn't be.

Hey Ray,
British Car Specialists has that felt busing.I installed one myself.
Use a razor blade box cutter to scrap/shave it , soak it in oil. run the
driveshaft through the outer tube, and then slowly, painstakingly jam it into
the space between.(twisting with pressure helps.
It took my several hours and a lot of cussing as well as starting over 3 times
because I needed to shave it a bit thinner- Good Luck -William Berg

Hi Ed,
You know much more about this than I do, but what is wrong with the  
brake/clutch reservoir lettering and the hose clamps? I thought they  
looked correct.

If you mean the control head turn lever, mine is chrome - again, what  
is wrong with it?

Finally, I think the rubber buffers are correct. The rivet head and  
washer go through from the engine side and are not visible from the  
outside of the car.

I thought some of the wiring (brightness of color) looked a little  
off, but not sure.

Again, I am just nitpicking. I think it is lovely! Just trying to  
learn more about this.

Thanks.

Kurt Tanner had a Sage Green BJ8 at B-J last year and it apparently went for
100K.  The interesting thing to me was (if the VIN was reported to me
correctly) that the BJ8 registry had that number listed as SCRAPPED - parted
out.

I don't know the official color, but it is aston martin sage green.  
There were a few (three I think) LeMans Healeys painted a color very  
close to it. Sort of the green version of Healey Blue!

I am hoping its on the lip of my original bonnet as I switched for a Aluminum

I will keep you posted-William

Depending on it's build date, it might also require the dog leg gear lever, 
and the lip roll-over on the dash pad does look a tad thick . . .   But it 
is certainly a stunning car, and I would take it in a heartbeat!

Re Tanner and auction prices
In Australia results appear to follow the pattern. Those who'know' will not pay 
the big prices. Big prices are paid on the basis that it looks right so it must 
be right,assuming the quality  matches the price. Also that little bit of 
individuality seems to go a long way to attracting celebrity prices. Are we 
better off with high or low prices? I guess it depends if you are buying or 
selling. Do remember that repro parts and restoration services have only become 
available as the recovery of costs (prices) have risen. Personally I like 
period mods. and touches. Apparently Donald did also - check out his personal 
100 Coupe. It is nice to see how they were originally made but I find 
most 'gold' cars were not to original standard anyway, does that mean they are 
not standard. Do we all want to be clones?

Hi

M. Tanner is doing big business in the industry of restoration but he
is also doing a good job in the matketing of our marque . By doing so he

  is promoting the Healey marque and maybe he is  bringing  some more
enthousiast to join the group of Healeyfan.

When i saw this nice looking Healey on the web  i can say that we
have good taste

Cheers

He'll think he's out of his class at Barret-Jackson auction prices.

Subject: [Healeys] steering box rebuild
In-Reply-To: <997563.2837.qm@web55202.mail.re4.yahoo.com>
Message-ID: <BAY101-F3772C5E2AD54948A907C1AA5470@phx.gbl>

I rebuilt the box on my BN1 way back when. As I recall it was a little 
complicated because the bearings don't have cages like the later boxes. 
Getting all of those little balls to stay in place while you assemble the 
column and worm gear in the box is a little tricky. As I recall it took a 
lot of very sticky grease, a lot of chasing little steel balls and lots of 
time to "try it again". When I finally got the thing together, to my 
satisfaction, I had one ball bearing left over which I will 
install...someday.

The trick in choosing shims is to set the end float on the box as close to 
zero as possible without preloading the bearings.That allows the worm to 
turn easily without any float. End float translates to lost motion, better 
known as slop, in the steering assembly. Preload translates into friction 
and resistance in the steering gear.

I was fortunate that the worm and peg on my box were in pretty good 
condition. If you have a selection try to choose the ones that are closest 
to standard.

I have to agree with most of Lin's observations and comments. Well done Lin. 
We should have you assist in National Concours Registry judging.

Having looked the Tanner car over in these photos, I'd have to say he has 
the details mostly nailed down. It is his obvious deviation in colours both 
inside and out, plus overpolishing and over finishing almost everywhere, and 
the use of chromed multispoke wheels that would most certainly knock this 
beautiful Healey well out of a Gold level in a properly sanctioned National 
Concours Registry judging. Therefore it's the use of the terms they're 
using, calling these cars "finished to a National Concours Gold Level 
standard" that I take exception to.

Of course the people that will be bidding on this car are usually not on the 
same page as someone who is after true accurate authenticity. It's glitz and 
glam they're after.

Hi Fellow Listers-
 
Since overone is pointing out the negative points I will have to point out  
just one.
Well there is another item I noticed in the engine compartment. The heater  
control valve (bat like) handle is missing. From personal experience I do know  
that these are easily broken off.

It's a real shame but it looks like Tanner uses rocker panels that don't
have the gentle curve on the bottom of it, but the common ones that are
straight.  Doesn't look right to me.  Too bad with the insane amount of
effort at detail...

I need to rebuild the door hinges on my BJ7. Does anybody know any tricks to
getting the pins out? There doesn't seem to be any lock pins but heating in
the home oven and driving the hinge pin with a punch and hammer just makes a
lot of noise. Any suggestions welcomed,

Cheers

We will be relocating in a few months to the Durham,
Chapel Hill area of NC. Does anyone have a
recommendation for a shop in the area? I have had a
bt7 and bj8 for 20 years but I'm still all thumbs
(that turn black and blue when ever I do my own work).
Without a good reliable mechanic I'm in trouble. Also
appreciated would be a recommendation for a car
storage facility in the same area. Jim Brown

Hi, Jim -
Hendrix Wire Wheel is in Greensboro, about 50 miles west of Chapel Hill on I-40.  Allen Hendrix does repairs on Healeys and other British cars.  I don't know of any other places in that area that have experience working on Healeys, but if there are any, Hendrix would know, and he would know about storage facilities.

Ray,
MG TDs have a felt bushing at the top of the steering column that is 
available from Moss (260-150).  It is wrapped around the inner column 
and then slid down into the outer sleeve.  I'm sure one of these could 
be modified for your use.

Here is one not real close but at least is in the same state.  It's  
west of Charlotte and Google maps says its 185 miles from Durham.

     Evan Amaya, Shelby NC
     http://www.rebornco.com/

Only have visited his shop,  I live 725 miles from Shelby so I have  
never done business with him.

He has a MGB that he re-did and uses as a daily driver --- it would  
look real good living at my house.  It's featured at this web page:

Listers,
I'm finishing up the body work on my 63 BJ7 and I was wanting some advice on 
the paint and assembly procedures for the fenders and doors.  I have been 
doing all of the body work myself due to spousal imposed financial 
constraints.  My brother in law is going to be doing the painting (for labor 
exchange, all I have to do is buy the paint), as he has a nice body shop and 
he restores old Mach 1 and Boss Mustangs.  My brother in law and I had a 
hell of time this past weekend getting the new rear door gaps to come out 
with the new latch panels, door and rear fenders.  The gaps look good now so 
I'm all that I have left is the lower shroud portions (both front and rear) 
to finish.  This will just be a few of heavy layers of primer, guide coat 
and block sanding.  Anyway, here is what we plan on doing and I was wanting 
comments about any potential pitfalls or F-ups.  The car is going to be 
Colorado red over black.  We are going to remove the fenders, doors, bonnet 
and boot.  Shoot all of them and the car in single stage (base coat) red. 
Then reassemble all panels on the car and install the stainless beads.  Any 
potential scratches or garfs can then be touched up.  Then we will shoot the 
lower half of the car with black.  We will then wet-sand the entire car with 
1000 or 1500.  Then we will carefully tape the beads (fine-line).  Then we 
will shoot the car with several clear coats.  After curing for the required 
amount of time I will buff the car out.
 I have heard about people leaving the beads in proud of the car by an inch 
or so and then painting, then loosening the fenders and then sliding the 
beads into the gaps.  I'm afraid the too much clear will accumulate in the 
gaps and they will not close up or the beads will not go in far enough or at 
all.  It seems to me like there is too much of a chance of error or 
scratches occurring or uneven spraying of the base coat due to the bead 
standing up impeding the flow of the gun.  Also, I'm leaning toward a PPG 
base coat clear coat system.  Any paint brands recommended?  Any and all 
comments greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

NOJ 391, NOJ 392 and NOJ 393 when entered at Lemans in '53. The colour is 
actually in Fred Pikovnik's book. This colour was sourced from Fred Hunter's 
S which had been one of the above in a previous life. It's sort of a pale 
mint green metallic, and the cars were finished with dark green trim. They 
must have been gorgeous.

Thanks for doing my homework for me. I figured that someone would come  
through. I do recall a color photo in one of my books. I will still  
look for the reference tonight.

It was all over the cover of one of the big magazines a few months  
back. Maybe it was Octane.  Lot's of great shots.

VSCCA racer, Dick Rowley, has done his 100 race car
and identical nasty boy in this colour, both of which
are beautiful. I have photos to prove it.

Hi Randy,

Congrats on your progress so far.  One word of advice;  be absolutely sure
while it is assembled now to apply the door interior panels, fit the aluminum
finishers and door seals, and install the striker and door latch mechanisms to
make sure you have enough clearance in the sill area to allow a good door
closure.  It is easier to make adjustments now than in final paint especially
if you need to move (message) metal in those areas.  These cars are assembled
and taken apart so much during a good restoration that you become very
familiar with the process so when final assembly comes about you have plenty
of experience at it.  Also install the trunk latch assembly to make sure it
closes and latches with ease before final paint.  Don't forget to paint in
body color the battery switch bracket.

We inserted my fender beading after final spray and cure.  It went pretty well
for us.

Those are things Iremember off the top of my head that will make a good job
look excellent.  If there are others out there that have a better way (or
easier) of doing this please chime in.

Continued good luck,

George Haywood

Gentlemen:

In light of the hunt for the felt bush for BN-1's steering column, I wrote
Kelvin Dodd, Global Sourcing Engineer @ Moss and asked the following:

<quote>
667-655 is felt bush for BN-1 & early BN-2s and NLA.  Active subject on
healeys List.Bob Yule of Autofarm in Can. says he has in stock.  I haven't
check my UK/Eur suppliers tho.

Any idea if one of the following might work outright or with "trim to fit",
Kelvin??

667-600 is for later BN-2 up to some BN-4s & 7s.
220-152 & 220-200 = TD & TF
220-190 & 220-160 = MGA
220-050 = TR-2 - 3B
</quote>

I had the same IMMEDIATE thought as Charlie Baldwin did re MGTD so I looked
up all the "felt bushes" in the catalog (we Distributors set a single THICK
book with ALL the their LBC Cats in one) and the above #s are what I came up
with.

The following is his reply just in:
<quote>
I immediately thought about the MGA one.

We would need to know what the clearance is on the box input shaft.
You know one of these should work.
</quote>

So, anybody able to check their column and provide said info.???

Subject: [Healeys] steering column felt bushing
Message-ID: <BAY110-W39796F2D86A852BEF2E1F8CD470@phx.gbl>

It is tempting to lay in the oiled felt bush in the outer shaft, then slide
the steering column in to place
The problem with the early steering boxes is that the ball bearings are
loose.
As mentioned by someone else, heavy grease and some delicate handling allows
you to fit the end with the peg
while trapping the bearings in the correct place. The problem with prefitting
the felt bush (especially if
you are unsure if the thickness is correct) is that it sliding the shaft into
place tends to push out the felt bush.
The oil is, I believe, original on the bush, necessary and will help it break
in.
Even if the felt bush is the correct thickness, it is new and will compress
with time. Better that this bushing is snug at first, don't you think?
I fit the steering column with bearings in the correct place bolted the base
together and then, shoved, twisted cursed the felt bush into place
between the outer and inner columns from the top.
Seemed like it took forever but it is snug and turns freely, Good Luck-
William Berg

I was at Fourintune when Tom Kovacs, under the watchful eye of Geoff Healey
(and my video cameras)  gently ground the paint back on what turned out to
be NOJ 391 (Fred Hunter's cars). Geoff called it a Dockers light metallic
green... the green equivalent to metallic Healey blue. When Kovacs recreated
the S powered NOJ 391, with Geoff's blessing, he matched that paint from the
original Fred Hunter car. It can be seen here... 

http://www.fourintune.com/gallery153.html


The pictures of the Tanner Barrett Jackson car appear to be a far lighter
shade of green that the Special Test Car colors (the Bonneville endurance
car, and 3 cars prepared for '53 LeMans).

This Tanner car, like all of his, certainly is beautiful... I take no issue
with that (never having seen his cars in person for a closer look). I do
take issue with any statement that describes it as "prepared to Gold
concours standards"... as it wouldn't make the grade with the various
liberties in colors, etc. I think either the seller, the writer on the
website, or Barrett Jackson might be at risk for false representation in
their description.

I first removed the hinge from the door and heated the hinge carefully with 
a propane torch and then drove the pin out with a punch and hammer.
On one of my hinges the pin was actually broken in half and could not be 
driven out. I ended up cutting the inner half of the hinge from the outer 
half and then was able to drive the two halves of the pin out.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] hydraulic clutch question

Nothing as specific as I was looking for.

In the mean time I set up the bell housing on the bench with elevated
flywheel and clutch with disc in place.

I'm thinking the pushrod length should be such that the slave piston is
about 1/3 of the way out from the fully retracted position. That way, as the
clutch disc wears there will be room for the piston to be pushed further
into the bore by the clutch interface moving outward.

In fact I'd decided to build an adjustable pushrod.

I now believe my old clutch was slipping because my pushrod was too long and
as the disc wore, less and less pressure was exerted on the disc by the
springs of the clutch.

If that all makes sense :-)

Larry -

I believe the build cards for BN1s, particularly very early BN1s, were put
on left over Austin factory build cards that had incorrect information
stamped onto them in some categories.  For example the Heritage cert for my
BN1 (#793) says the car is fitted with Wilmot Breeden window lifts and
5.50x16" tyres.   Interestingly these items may very well have been fitted
to A90 convertibles which had hydraulic window lifts and tyres of that size,
so I think they were just left over cards they used to record the first few
healeys built.

Also, it could be that they cannot accurately read the microfiche copies of
the build cards, you may ask them for a copy of the build card for your
records, tell them the data is incorrect on the cert. they sent you.

Best,

Alan

G'day Mike

Sounds very fanciful to me. 

You really have to go back to the immediate post-war Austin 16 to get to the
roots of the engine. 

The Austin 16 was the first post WW2 Austin vehicle and with it was
introduced a new overhead valve four-cylinder of 2,199cc. It was also
Austin's first OHV engine. It was subsequently used in the Austin A70 and
derivatives. 

Then in larger capacity (2,660cc) it found its way into the A90 Atlantic and
of course the Austin-Healey 100.

There was also a six-cylinder engine used in the Austin Sheerline (and also
used in the first Jensen Interceptor and later 541 Coupe).

While the 2,199/2,660 four-cylinder gave way to the new C-series
six-cylinder it lingered on to the late 1960s for the Austin Taxi.

If Geoff Healey had his way the petrol version it would have been
re-introduced in the 1960s to power the Austin-Healey, as he never really
liked the six-cylinder engine. However he suggested that the stroke be
decreased so to allow for the engine to rev harder and higher. It would have
been around 2.5 litre and properly tuned would have developed around 150bhp.

Sorry no connection with any GM product like Bedford or Chev.

Thanks Elton,
 I was trying to avoid the dreaded torch as the hinges are painted but have
succumb! Heating didn't work so I followed your lead and cut through both
hinge pins only to find they where both broken top and bottom! There was
only millimeters of alloy holding my door on.
 For those interested I replaced the pins with cut down 5/16 high tensile
bolts and sleeved the alloy section of the hinge with some brass tube I
found at a hobby shop( being careful to redrill the oil holes). I bonded the
tube in with loctite.
 Since my new pins don't have a splined end to stop them turning I simply
drilled and pined them in place.
 All up cost about AUS$20 and a mornings work,
Cheers
Pieter

I first removed the hinge from the door and heated the hinge carefully with 
a propane torch and then drove the pin out with a punch and hammer.
On one of my hinges the pin was actually broken in half and could not be 
driven out. I ended up cutting the inner half of the hinge from the outer 
half and then was able to drive the two halves of the pin out.
Good luck.

Although I don't recall the source I am pretty confident that the following
is the outline of the 2660c.c. Austin Healey 100 engine development.
Prior to the Second World War the Austin Company was contracted to produce a
4 liter OHV engine for a smaller size military lorry (truck).
They came up with a 3990 c.c. OVH six cylinder engine but this was never put
into production.
As part of the huge export drive after the war Austin found a need for a
four cylinder design for cars to be produced for export particularly to the
U.S. for such cars as the Austin 16 and the A70. 
To come up with a suitable engine 2 cylinders were lopped off the 6 cylinder
design to create the engine which was originally produced in a smaller bore
version.

Does anyone have definitive information on the history of the 100 engine? In
different books and magazine articles I have read various stories about
Bedford van engines, engines for the war effort, 4 cylinder version of the
Chevrolet Stovebolt six etc. etc.

Alan,

I'm not sure you're understanding the story on that car...

The real NOJ 391 was discovered to exist underneath the identity of Fred
Hunter's red 100S. NOJ391 had a successful racing career in its original
identity, and was wrecked when the Healey's loaned it to someone running the
Tour d France. The car was later repaired and rebadged as a 100S, where it
had an another life as a race car.

Fourintune took a standard 100-4 chassis, and a 100S engine, and with Geoff
Healey's blessing and cooperation, and Roger Menadue's help, made a
recreation of what NOJ 391 looked like in its original form.

This is a downdraft Zenith single carburettor as fitted to A70s. I had 
one on an A-H engine for some time when I ran a 100 engine in an A70 
Hereford. One has to use an A70 inlet and exhaust manifold; plus a 
mixture of pipes etc. I had a standard A70 air cleaner above the engine 
but that would not fit under a 100 bonnet!  I kept the normal A70 
mechanical camshaft driven fuel pump.

I can guess that perhaps this was for fuel economy or SU supply problems 
but as I say I am guessing.

Interestingly when I eventually changed over to twin SUs I noticed very 
little difference in overall performance but perhaps just a little 
better pull at high revs as you might expect. However I did expect a 
better improvement than I actually got so was a little disappointed.

There's no dispute regarding ownership, I own it. It is copyrighted with the
Library of Congress.

 

The dispute was that Fred Hunter's estate chose to use the video without
permission in order to auction the car. They placed a variety of clips on
their website without permission or credit. The video was used to
substantiate the claims of its identity, and to significantly increase its
value. 

 

In the two releases of the video, "Just In Time" (VHS after Geoff Healey's
passing, and DVD after Roger Menadue's passing) all the proceeds were given
to charities, among them The Royal National Lifeboat Institute, per Margot's
request, along with Bill Bolton's Geoff Healey Memorial in Corvalis, OR. So,
I ate all the production, duplication, labeling, and mailing costs, and
donated every dime to charity in honor of my friends Geoff & Roger.

 

In a letter, dated March 10, 1994, Geoff Healey wrote to me, "Fred (Hunter )
ought to give you (me) a large bag of gold for this production as it has
probably increased the value of his car by many thousand dollars". The
average price of a 100 S can vary quite a bit, due to condition and history,
but it's clear that by documenting the rediscovery of NOJ 391 underneath the
identity of Fred's 100S took it from a $150,000 car, to the $400,000 it sold
for.

 

All I asked for of Fred's estate  as the legal owner of the footage , was a
small amount of money, and to have the video credited on their website. I
would have donated the bulk of it to charity again, after, at best,
recouping some of my costs over the years. They are not honorable people,
and refused to comply. I still retain the right to sue them for their
illegal use and gain as a result of using it. and one of these mornings
might wake up on the wrong side of the bed, and do so.

What does a typical healey engine weigh??   4 cyl, 6 cyl??
I'm having a conversation with a guy who's all bent on horse power
verses weight for a corvette engine
I just need the info. to spin him up.  Thanks .. 

His statements: ( he owns one of these L88 vettes)
Only 2 production 69 vettes were built with ZL1" The L88 427 weighs only
640 lbs with aluminum heads and intake. Only 80 lbs more than your
Healey 6! That's not too much for an extra 400 hp!
   I'd be happy to post the crankshaft rod/stroke ratio specs also plus
the rotating mass figures, and the BMEP (brake mean effective
pressure)and of course the bscf (base specific fuel consumption) (Chevy
produces much more power for the fuel it eats, simple physics) if you're
interested. I would do that because I take exception to the Chevy being
a long stroke slow poke, and a gas hog. You must know that the Healey
with extremely long connecting rods struggles to build revolutions and
as with long rod motors (6's in general) has a piston stroke dwell that
lends itself to difficult intake/exhaust events vs. maximum horsepower.
Torque good, tire burning acceleration no.

Hi,

One of the things on my Healey's to-do list is make the heater control valve
work.   When the weather started getting cold last fall, I tried to open it,
but it wouldn't move.   I was afraid of breaking it, so I left it as is
until the spring.

Does anyone have some good ideas on getting to work?

thanks,

Tom

Hey Folks,

So I've been sitting here bored for the past month as I had some
reconstructive surgery and have been put out of commission from a
restoration perspective. Rather than not do anything, I started
working on a new website. Since it's car/restoration specific, I
figured I'd ask you all what you thought so far.

In Clausager's book Original Austin-Healey, he writes:
"A little history may be of interest here. Back in 1938, Austin's new 
managing director, Leonard Lord, decided to take Austin back into the truck market. 
He did so by producing a virtual coy, engine and all, or the contemporary 
Bedford make by General Motors in Britain. The Bedfor engine, in turn had been 
based on the Chevrolet 'stove-bolt' Six from 1929... ."
>From there, you go to the four-cylinder version used on a planned British 
equivalent of the Jeep, which went into the 1948 A70, which was fitted into the 
A90 Atlantic, and from there took for the Austin-Healey 100.

So, the Healey 100 engine was a descendent of the GM Stovebolt Six!

Interestingly enough,  I have found that using one of those
screwdrivers that is made to use the hexagonal inserts works very well
as a cheater lever.  Best to use a stubby version of the screwdriver.

Slip the screwdriver insert hole over the valve lever and gently move
it using even but firm pressure - it will move without breaking the
handle.  Works very well on my BJ8.  I think the handles break because
the normal methods of trying to make the thing move with your hand put
too much variable fulcrum stress on the brass handle.

Alternatively you can screw the handle out and screw in a steel bolt
in its place.

No, neither Geoff nor Roger were mistaken.  Roger and Geoff personally
examined the car in forensic detail for hours on end, independently, 6
months apart from each other. So, one was not influencing the other. 

As far as I know Joe's conclusion is based on paper records where the car
was listed as "written off".

Severin, I'm confused:
First below you state below: 
"In a letter, dated March 10, 1994, Geoff Healey wrote to me, "Fred (Hunter)
ought to give you (me) a large bag of gold for this production as it has
probably increased the value of his car by many thousand dollars". The
average price of a 100 S can vary quite a bit, due to condition and history,
but it's clear that by documenting the rediscovery of NOJ 391 underneath the
identity of Fred's 100S took it from a $150,000 car, to the $400,000 it sold
for".
Yet in his May 2007 article in Healey Marque Joe Jarick seems to be fairly
convincing in his argument that NOJ291 (SPL224B) and AHS3804 were entirely
different cars.
Was Geoff mistaken when he examined Fred's car?

Ed,

Glad to see you're back to your old self.  If one prefers not to join then
they do not get a magazine or access to the club member's only area.

As the oldest national Austin Healey Club in the US the club does well to
foster growth.

I think the thing you are missing is that to receive a magazine (on or off
line) you need to pay membership dues.

I have yet to meet a Healey guy that was not willing to share.  But there
must be limits; I mean jeeze we can't just give stuff away for free.

Yes Tom.  I've had a free-flow Monza system for several years.  I love it!
My neighbors on the other hand may not be so happy :>). My BJ8 runs strong
and fast and has a bark that is truly awesome.
Yes, it is loud, but it puts a smile on everyone's face that hears it,
especially mine.  I also like the looks.  The problem you will have is that
this system is no longer offered for a BJ8.  You will need to slightly
modify a system sold for the BJ7. I fashioned a pretty effective hanger
system for my Monza and would be happy to snap pics for you if you choose to
go this route. Also be aware that the pipes hang a bit lower than stock
systems. At least that's the case with my car.

I am looking for a stincil of the XXX TRIPLEX marking that goes on the
windshield of a BJ8.  If someone has a good picture and accurate
measurements of the lettering, heart, overall dimensions, and position on
the windshield,  I would have a graphic artist make up a batch of stencils
for whoever wants one. The actual etching on the windshield itself can be
done locally almost anywhere.

I have one as well Tom, installed as part of the car's (1966 BJ8), 
Fourintune's restoration back in the early 80's. That alone...the length of 
its serviceability...is testament to the quality of the materials and 
construction.

As Randy has already advised, the tone and the decibel level that it emits 
is NOT transparent ...and while pleasing to the enthusiast, may not be so to 
the local police cruiser.

If you find a current source for them (for as Randy mentioned, they appear 
to be unavailable for the BJ8), please let us know....as I would quickly buy 
another, as my current 25 year old unit HAS to fail eventually.

Hi Tom,

I had one on my BJ8 for a while.  I went back to a stock configuration (Bell
Stainless system) for no big reason other than I wanted it stock.  The Monza
system I had is in my shop attic .. complete with downpipes that were powder
coated with heat reflecting material.  I adjusted the length of one downpipe
to match the Monza system better.  I think it is complete except for clamps
and rubber hangers (which I used the stock hangers as I recall).  I used it
for about 2 k miles.  Attached are some photos of my car with it on.  (It has
about the same amount of wear as the pic with the hardtop shows).  It was a
bit lower than a stock configuration and you had to be more careful but it
sounded nice! .. I lengthened it to make it exit past the rear bumper so there
was little blowback into the car (like a stock system).  The original length
gave me some odor.  All in all I sunk some bucks into making it a good fit.
Drop me a line off the list if you are interested.

Jim Sailer 66 BJ8

Message-ID: <478F9971.7060500@cox.net>

Hi Tom,

The heater valve on the engine block has a tapered fit on the part that 
rotates. On the opposite side from the handle there is a 
spring/washer/cotter pin that holds the tapered core against the tapered 
bore of the valve body. If you take a small hammer and tap on the end of 
the spring/washer/cotter pin side you should be able to 'unseat' the 
core piece. You will feel and see it move due to the spring moving when 
you tap on it. Then you can safely move the valve handle. If it won't 
move by tapping, unbolt the valve from the block, and disassemble the 
valve by removing the cotter pin/spring etc. Clean up the tapered 
surfaces (may need some lapping compound) and use some anti-seize lube 
on the tapered surfaces.

Also, a gentle reminder that Mark, the list owner requested recently 
that we remove the bulk of the original message when replying. I think 
in the same spirit that people should not have long signature files of 
several paragraphs. Thank you.

Cheers,
John

Dan, one option is to check out Barney Gaylord's website; specifically :
  http://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/windscrn/windscrn.htm

Two other sites that may help are:
  Triumphs   http://www.geocities.com/baddogracing/windshieldid.html      
  Lotus          http://www.lotuselan.net/publish/lsb_windscreen_glass_coding.shtml   
   
  If you do fine a real good stencil, please put me down for one.  TIA

Hello,

I think I have located 100M carbs for sale - I am wondering what is a fair
price for used refurbished?

Or are the new ones sold by resellers better? The AH Spares in UK has them
for around $1100.. Are these reproductions or the 'real thing'?...

Thanks, Tadek

Friends, I'm working on the the final bits and pieces of BJ8/29432. Besides
a buzzer which buzzes when I switch the engine off and leave my lights on,
and a panic switch  to flash all 4 trafficator lights, I have boght a hood
cover and a tonneau cover.
The latter is giving me some problems and I wonder whether there are any
listers who can help me with picture(s) of the tonneau cover fitted to the
car, and especially with the tonneau cover fitted but leaving the two front
seats in use. I expect that the unused part of the cover is folded down over
the support rail and then held down with Tenax fasteners.
I fitted four Tenax pins on the heelboard but fail to see where the other
part of the Tenax, on the cover, is fitted.
Please help!

Tadek,

The carbs from AH Spares are probably built by Burlen (the Burlen company bought the rights and tooling for SU carburettors):   http://burlen.co.uk

They're brand new, authentic SUs as original--i.e. the "real thing"--maybe with a few tweaks for reliability and manufacturability.  Use their prices as a reference; personally, I wouldn't pay more than $600-700 for used refurbs if you can get new for $1,100.

Jack:  I don't have a picture to send but I can tell you that there should 
be two flaps sewn to the tonneau.  They would be located on top of the 
tonneau sewn along their back edge only.  They would be located 
approximately over the center of the seats but would more precisely be 
located so that they just reach the Tenax fasteneers that you fitted to the 
heelboard.  These flaps would have the 'other part' of the Tenax.

Hi Jaap,

If your BJ8 is like my BJ7, the tenax studs on the heal board attach to female
tenax fittings located on those flaps of the tonneau cover - the ones that
look like they don't belong there.

When finished the cover folds over the support rail and the excess material is
folded under and on to the rear seats  The flaps are secured to the studs on
the heal board with female tenax fittings.  To locate these correctly, follow
this procedure:

Install the tonneau cover to the rear of the tonneau and then fold the tonneau
cover over the support rail carefully to fall evenly over the studs, then pull
the flaps of the cover downward evenly - it takes two people to hold the flaps
of the tonneau cover in place - then when positioned evenly tap the vinyl of
the flap with a hammer over the stud to mark the center position of the first
inside tenax fitting.  Punch this hole and install the first tenax fitting and
secure it to the stud on the heal board.  Repeat this process to locate the
opposite inside fitting and then repeat again for the outside fittings
checking as you go to be sure that you are getting a snug fit without the
tonneau sagging or being stretched too tight.

This description is from the memory of having helped Les Hurlbert of
Convertibles Only in Seattle install mine.  Hope this helps.

New ones and old ones are all about the same.  Actually sometimes the older
ones are better made, and come with better pieces.  I know that the new 100M
carbs have pretty cheap screws, springs and bolts on them, wheras if you get
an original 100M carb the bolts, screws and springs are very high quality.

Message-ID: <63B1A4D5F62C7B458A5B757A5EA8175003B9E9FD@S4DE8PSAANH.t-systems.com>

I am searching for a source to get the right water (radiator to engine)
hose band clamps for a 1954 BN1. It would be great if one can give me a
source where I can buy the original "band clamps". Think they are not
available here from any European dealer.
I thought I can get them from Clarke Spares, but I have got no answer
from them to my e-mail inquiry.
Is Clarke the one to get them or are there other sources?
Many thanks,

Sounds like it's "regular" SYNTEC which, since it's also used with 
modern cars, would have to have reduced ZDDP in order to preserve cat 
converters.

Smells like marketing.

Dear Jack,

 

I think that you are asking about the front four fasteners, which are on the
top of the dash board.  Since you may not have had the fasteners in the
plywood section of your restoration piece, the posts for the fasteners would
not be there.  If you need dimensions, I have a spare plywood piece at home
that I can take images of and can overlay the dimensions on in a word
document.  I hope that this is what you had requested.

Anyone have some Kingpin top thrust washers, and adjustment shim washers (I

As we volunteers help with the Kadner Bugeye rebuild we have discovered
these have gone missing from a new old stock rebuild kit.

This issue has probably been discussed many times, but I use Val VR1 20/50 racing oil in my Healey and E-Type.  It does have the ZDDP in it.  Now---does it have "enough"-----Don't know.  

Ignorance is bliss---I guess:)

I have no financial interest in the following info, but for those of you who
are questioning whether or not the current oils on the market have the
correct amount of additives for our old cars and if you are desiring to
change brands, you might go to the Penrite Lubricants web page and see what
they have to offer. 

 

You may also want to call Restoration Supply (?) at 760-741-4014 and ask
them for the chemical make up of the various grades on Penrite Engine Oils
that they sell (if they are still a Penrite Distributor). If they don't have
the info you need, I am sure you can get it by emailing Penrite.

I spoke with Dave at Red Line last week.  Red Lne 10W40 synthetic contains 
around 1250 ppm of ZDDP.  All oils meeting API SM standards (the current) 
have between 600-800 ppm.  I also spoke with David Nock, who uses Red Line 
10W40.  The viscosity of this oil is equivalent to a mineral-based 20W50, 
according to both David N and Dave (Red Line).  Bottom line seems to be that 
if it meets API SM standard, don't trust it in an old flat tappet engine.

Don't get me wrong here.. I am not promoting or endorsing Castrol (don't use 
it myself -- I get a special oil through my mechanic Butch Gilbert). 
BUT just to keep the facts straight, what I would point out for those of you 
who don't want to go to the trouble and expense of ordering Amsoil or another 
special oil (not that there's anything wrong with that)...
the website shows 20W50 Syntec oil in the marketing promotion that was quoted 
on the MG list and 20W50 is NOT used in modern cars AFAIK. They all require a 
much lower weight synthetic oil. Hence it is quite plausible that an oil 
company might be putting different amounts of ZDDP in their different weights of 
the same brand of oil.
Just the facts, ma'am.
Cheers

Does meeting the standard for API SM mean that cannot have more that 800
ppm, or is it just a minimum standard.  Has anyone ever asked API about
their standards and recommendations in regards to older engines?

Yes, Val VR 1 has enough ZDDP, as does Redline.  Maybe my messages are not 
reaching the list but Amsoil offers many products still with the API SL 
designation which still has plenty of ZDDP in it.  The statement about API speck SM is 
correct DON'T use it in your flat tappet engine.  Especially if it is newly 
rebuilt!!  Marketing or not Amsoil has done a LOT of wear testing on the 
various oils and has results available for anyone that cares.
 
Some of the list may not be familiar with Amsoil but is has been around a 
LONG time.  They know their oils.  Buy what ever you want but use an SM rated oil 
at your own peril.  Otherwise I suggest you may want to check things out and 
use what David Nock, Tom or myself have suggested.

According to Castrol, Syntec 20W-50:

"Exceeds all car and light truck manufacturer's warranty requirements for the protection of gasoline, diesel and turbocharged engines where API SM, SL, SJ, SH, CF or CD is recommended."

This implies--but doesn't state unequivocally, natch--that Syntec 20W-50 is SM-rated, and AFAIK this means reduced Zn and P (i.e. ZDDP).  

Anybody who has a bottle want to check the label?  Just wondering if Castrol is trying to "have it both ways," or is there a "special" Syntec 20W-50 for older cars?

Can't have it both ways, it either has the extra or what was normal ZDDP or  
it doesn't.  If it meets SM spec it doesn't.  No special oil for our  older 
cars.  Gary

Hi Folks- Does anyone have the Raised Casting Numbers for a BN2 Bell
Housing? I looked in my copy of the BN1 & BN2 Parts Manual and I don't see
an Austin Number (which I assume is the Raised Casting Number) and I don't
see one. 

 

I purchased what I think is a BN2 Bell Housing and the Raised Casting Number
on it is 1B 3704, but I have no idea if that is correct. Can anyone help?

 

Thanks- Doug

Gary,

Not quite sure how to word this.
In the instance of Valvoline VR1 20-50 "Racing", the container shows 
that it is rated API service SM.
SM in itself would indicate reduced ZDDP, yes, no, or it depends on the 
particular viscosity of the SM?

Are you saying that although it is rated SM, but the 20-50 would not 
likely be used in a "modern" engine, it "might" contain more ZDDP than a 
5-20 SM rated oil?

In other words, do SM rated oils  have different amounts of ZDDP  
according to their viscosities/likelyhood of being used in a modern 
engine?  Does it mean that not all oil viscosities of  SM  rating 
contain reduced ZDDP?

The oil companies published information makes it very hard to find the 
answer. Worse - The oil formulations  seem to be changing on a near 
monthly basis but the published info is quite old in some cases.

I think I will continue to add a pint of GM EOS to my oil changes. To 
me,  it's not worth taking the chance.

Regards,
Dave Russell

The website is a bit confusing.  The grade list states syntec 20-50 
meets SM requirements, but the separate line for syntec 20-50 has the 
additional label " Superior Formula for Classic Cars".  Also this quote 
at the bottom of the page:  * SYNTEC 20W--50 does not meet the catalyst 
compatibility requirements of vehicles manufactured since 1993

All I can say is that I use Kendall GT1 Hi performance 40 weight. According to
their web site, it is for use for older engines and contains .094% Zinc by wt.
Does Redline or Val VR1 give an amount or percent so that we might compare?

re:
"I also spoke with David Nock, who uses Red Line 
10W40.  The viscosity of this oil is equivalent to a mineral-based 20W50"

Then the RL 10W-40 is mislabeled, IMO.   The viscosity standards are, well, standards 
and a 10W-40 would never be "equivalent" to a 20W-50 based on viscosity (can any
petroleum engineers out there either back me up, or prove I'm full of it?).


re:
"Bottom line seems to be that 
if it meets API SM standard, don't trust it in an old flat tappet engine."

Agreed.  FWIW, I found a "stash" of my favorite--Chevron Supreme 20W-50--that
was still SL rated.  I cleaned out the store, and they replaced it with SM rated
CS 20W-50.

  Does meeting the standard for API SM mean that cannot have more that 800
ppm, or is it just a minimum standard.  Has anyone ever asked API about their
standards and recommendations in regards to older engines?

Guys
I dont know if you can get it in the US but Miller Oils are highly respected
in the Uk and concentrate on older vintage and classic motor lubricants. They
make oils to VW and merc specs as well as others.
Range of oils:
http://www.millersoils.net/1_Millers_frame_CLASSIC.htm
They recommend a classic mineral oil 20w50 see:
http://www.millersoils.net/1_downloads/literature/classic/M-tt_CLASSIC_ENGINE
_OIL.pdf
and discuss zddp camshaft wear problems for cars and bikes on (unfortunately
just says it contains the optimum amount of zddp!), it does explain the
reduced use of ash so as not to affect the modern emission system:

there shock and steering box oils are also recommended

i need to be enlightened again.  when this oil problem first surfaced, it was
a problem with newly rebuilt engines and supposedly did not affect the older,
more worn engines.   has this changed?  i have enlightened everyone in our
british car club about the oil problem, but did not make a panic case for
changing out oils and replacing them immedietly with zinc oils.  since i am
still in doubt about castrol, which most people seem to use, should i get more

I have heard you can use a BJ8 clutch in a BN2 transmission.  Anyone done
this conversion?  What would be the benefit?

The BJ8 Clutch is much lighter, wears much longer, and grips better
under shifting and acceleration.  All in all a much better clutch for
a more pleasurable driving experience.  Worth thinking about if you
drive your car a great deal.

Message-ID: <067b01c85a47$bf0f2dc0$0471a8c0@ophrdc.org>

The Friday Funny:






One day, in line at the company cafeteria, Joe says to Mike behind him, "My
elbow hurts like hell. I guess I'd better see a doctor."

 "Listen, you don't have to spend that kind of money," Mike replies.
 "There's a diagnostic computer down at Wal-Mart. Just give it a urine sample
and the computer will tell you what's wrong and what to do about it.

 It takes ten seconds and costs ten dollars . .. A lot cheaper than a doctor."

 So, Joe deposits a urine sample in a small jar and takes it to Wal-Mart.

 He deposits ten dollars, and the computer lights up and asks for the urine
sample. He pours the sample into the slot and waits.

 Ten seconds later, the computer ejects a printout:

 "You have tennis elbow... Soak your arm in warm water and avoid heavy
activity. It will improve in two weeks. Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart."

 That evening, while thinking how amazing this new technology was, Joe began
wondering if the computer could be fooled.

 He mixed some tap water, a stool sample from his dog, urine samples from his
wife and daughter, and a sperm sample for good measure.

 Joe hurries back to Wal-Mart, eager to check the results. He deposits ten
dollars, pours in his concoction, and awaits the results.

 The computer prints the following:

 1. Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. (Aisle 9)
 2. Your dog has ringworm. Bathe him with anti-fungal shampoo. (Aisle 7)
 3. Your daughter has a cocaine habit. Get her into rehab.
 4. Your wife is pregnant. Twins. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer.
 5. If you don't stop playing with yourself, your elbow will never get better!

 Thank you for shopping @ Wal-Mart

guys.
i am trying to determine the correct hose clamps for a 1954 Nash
Healey. every photo but one shows a modern hose clamp.
i know these modern worm gear type clamps were not correct for my 1965
BJ8 so I suspect they were not correct in 1954.
can someone please send me a picture of the clamps used in 1954 on the Healey?

i have photos of a "100  point" pebble beach Nash healey and it shows
band clamps.
thanks
ron rader

G'day Mike

I have a BJ8 clutch complete in the BN3. It's a 100S gearbox (almost the
same as a BN2) bolted through a special bellhousing. All you have to do is
make sure that you use both the BJ8 driven plate and pressure plate. Bolted
straight on to the flywheel too.

G'day

No it's not. The engine in my car is one of the first C-series 6-cylinders
built for Wolseley in 1954 and as far as I know still has its original
flywheel. 

It definitely is not a BJ8 flywheel.

I was told that you could bolt up a BJ8 flywheel and clutch to a BN2
because the bell housing is large enough.  You would have a faster revving
engine due the lighter flywheel and better shifting because of the BJ8
clutch.  Right now I have a complete BN2 clutch and flywheel.  Just
weighing my options before I put the drivetrain together.

G'day Mike

My understanding is that it should go together without a problem. However
best to check with experts like Norman Nock to make sure, especially if it's
compatible with the BN2's mechanical levering system. 

Mine's hydraulic and nothing like a standard Austin-Healey at all.

That's a thought.  I'll ask around about the mechanical system compared to
the hydraulic. Thanks.

The difference in the flywheels, other than weight, and the one thing that really needs attention on this swap, is the small alignment?pins that align the clutch cover (pressure plate) to the flywheel.? The BJ8 clutch cover uses three pins at 120 degree separation.? The BN1 and BN2 uses two pins at 180 degrees. Easily fixed at the machine shop or just mount up the BJ8 flywheel to complete the swap. Drops a bunch of weight from the rotating mass. The 10.5 inch clutch used in the?3000 roadsters and BJ7 has a different clutch cover bolt circle and requires more dollars spent at the machine shop.

My understanding is that it should go together without a problem. However
best to check with experts like Norman Nock to make sure, especially if it's
compatible with the BN2's mechanical levering system. 

Mine's hydraulic and nothing like a standard Austin-Healey at all.

I was told that you could bolt up a BJ8 flywheel and clutch to a BN2
because the bell housing is large enough.  You would have a faster revving
engine due the lighter flywheel and better shifting because of the BJ8
clutch.  Right now I have a complete BN2 clutch and flywheel.  Just
weighing my options before I put the drivetrain together.

Subject: [Healeys] Testing a battery, non Healey
Message-ID: <20080119131314.B174B18765D@autox.team.net>

I have a Porsche 944S2 or, to be fair, my wife does. But the maintenance
tends to be my province. Note that I don't say "routine maintenance" as
nothing appears to be routine. So far we haven't had a second mortgage
moment with it yet, but fingers are crossed.

 

So, enough waffle. The battery goes practically flat within a week. I ask
myself, "Is the battery dead/dying or is there a little short circuit
somewhere in the car?"

I suppose I could disconnect the battery, charge it, wait a week and see if
it will start the car, thus answering my own question. BUT, can one test a
battery on the bench and determine its condition? If so, how's it done?? I
have an electrolyte tester (one of those giant syringe/specific gravity
thingies) and a big charger which will charge or start anything short of an
HGV, but I reckon I need more than that.....? 

There is no disparity between the cells with the tester before or after
charging...they all read the same., by which I mean that no cell is way out
of line with the rest at any stage.

I don't know how old the battery is. It sits in the boot and is clean and
dry. It looks great, but I'd hazard that it was cheap as it comes from Macro
(a cash and carry version of Wal-Mart?)

Simon.

*I nearly killed myself in my favourite car.* I had an Austin Healey with a
Ford V8 engine placed into it like a makeshift AC Cobra. Then I hired a
mechanic to put in an automatic gearbox. I was driving on the 405 in
Hollywood, went to light a cigarette and my hand got stuck in the
transmission. I shifted the car from drive into park and the car fish-tailed
on the freeway. I went into a 180-degree spin and ended up facing traffic
head on. All I could see was this huge truck coming towards me; the driver
got on the CB loudspeaker and screamed at me to put the car into reverse. I
was in total shock and I just did it. I reversed all the way back until I
found an exit. It was crazy. I could have died  so for a while I was in a

Message-ID: <C3B74CE7.26947%steveg@abrazosdata.com>

I'm currently installing a BJ8 clutch on my Mk 1 3000 engine/Smitty trans
and have a BJ8 clutch on the bench.

The BJ8 pressure plate assembly is 2 to 2-1/8" thick. My old 10" pressure
plate is 3" thick. The thickness of the 9-1/2" BN2 clutch is key to whether
the stock linkage will work.

FWIW--I'd considered machining my old flywheel, but the different pin
pattern and smaller bolt circle made the machining twice the cost of a used
BJ8 flywheel.

Anyone know if they showed these cars on Speed? I saw the $105k green one go
but none of the others. The Fast Forward button on the VCR is a great thing.
Who in the world can sit through all the freakin commercials??? They showed a
lot of real crap with 22" wheels that could have been skipped for Healey

I wish they would cover RM like B-J.

I visited the car storage facility of a friend and club member who has a 
number of British cars and Porsches, all the Porsches were plugged into 
battery trickle chargers, the British cars were not, he said the parasitic 
losses from the various systems that stay  running, security etc, will 
discharge the battery fairly quickly, although a week seems pretty short.

Most any auto parts chain store will test a battery for you for free (in the 
'states anyway).  I would go that route and get a new one if needed, and if 
the car routinely sits a trickle of float charger for a few bucks more.

Richard,

Jerry Coker was asked at a Conclave forum about the fitted luggage option
listed for the 100.  He replied "It seems a number of fitted luggage sets have
been made over the years for the car as a result of the options listing, but
we only ever delivered ONE SET."

This fellow does some amazing work:

Message-ID: <743b1e2f0801191238h232a5cfcscd9d7a97d31b7f49@mail.gmail.com>

I couldn't get the old bellows pump that was in my Healey to pull fuel so I
grabbed the old style metal box Facet pump from NAPA today.  To mount it on
my 100-Six where a stock square body SU would have been would require me to
mount the pump vertically instead of horozontally using the hole in the
bracket I have.  I don't think that is a good arrangement as I would have to
add more tubing that would have more twists and turns that I think I should
have.

I haven't ever made a bracket from scratch before short of bits of thin
angle iron.  Can someone walk me through what I should but and the best way
to bend the metal once I get it.

Thanks
Patton

If I'm not mistaken there were 5 or 6 different throwout bearings used 
during the production run based on the depth of the carbon face as related 
to the linkage journals. You need to find one that has the correct depth to 
contact the pressure plate when the linkage is set up correctly. If there 
isn't one offset by 7/8" you may need to modify the linkage.

Only precaution I use is to be sure it is removed before starting to avoid

I love guys like Nicolas Cage because they are masters of embellishment and
we love every minute of it.  This sounds like a script for a movie.  No
truck driver would have had enough time to get on the horn and tell him to
reverse.  By the time he said the word reverse he'd already be dead.

How do I know this?

I did the exact same thing on the M5 in the Uk when I rented a new BMW Mini
to go visit a friend in the hospital in Salisbury.  The gearbox
malfunctioned and allowed me to shift from 5th to reverse on the freeway (I
was still getting used to the car), and I came to a screeching halt on the
highway as the motor died and the front wheels locked.  Big lorries were way
way to the back but in no time they were passing around me with horns
blaring, two seconds at most.  There was zero time to say anything.  I
managed to restart the car and continue on by punching the throttle,
avoiding any accidents.  Hate to be the person who bought the car second
hand from the car rental agency!  FYI I will never buy on of those BMW minis
with the rover gearbox, the gearbox is pure crap!

Looks to me as if the radiator guard is brush painted, based on the uneven
edge of the shadow.
Coil looks correct to me, with correct label mounted in correct place.
The turn indicator control is correct.
Brake/Clutch reservoir has correct lettering
Carb dash pots may have been carefully polished, as was generally done when
prepping auto show Healeys in the period, but since the material hasn't been
changed (e.g. they're not chrome-covered), that wouldn't merit a deduction.
Hose clamps are correct.
Bonnet buffers have rivet properly inserted from inside, with hidden ends on
outside.
I don't recall any specifications on number of loops on capillary tube; the
important thing is that it is correctly fastened with a rubber strap to the
heater return hose on the engine side of the loops. BTW, note that the clips
holding the capillary tube in place are properly painted black, and the heater
return pipe is painted engine color.
I don't see anything wrong with the carb linkage clamps. They look
zinc-anodized to me. What's wrong with that?
What's a V/C grommet?

Only things that jump out at me are the wrong style spark plug boots and the
later period numbering rings on the H.T. leads, as well as possible
incorrect-for-the-period lettering on the radiator cap.

On the interior, I think that the fan control/heater valve knob is there,
just not clearly shown in the shadows of the picture.
If I were doing this, for aesthetic and spec-correct trim considerations, I
would have used dark green piping and green carpeting with the "linen" (or
grey) upholstery, then argued that the exterior color was a bad shade of
Pacific
Green, which would reduce the point deductions significantly. As it is, I
think
the dark color on the floor is just period-optional rubber floor mats.
The gear shift shaft is the correct single-bend version for an early BT7.
Hard to really say if the crash pad is too overstuffed, or not, but that
would be a very minor deduction.
Aside from the non-standard color of the top (Tanner must have had it died to
his specifications), the only criticism there is a slight wrinkle above the
B-pillar.

But I do find it fascinating that several of the critics of the car seem to
be less familiar with the Concours Originality Standards than the restorer of
this car.

And I stand by my earlier statement; this is a quality restoration with a
stunning and tasteful choice of colors and materials, and I expect it will do
extremely well in the auction, possibly even setting a new price level for a
"Mark I" BT7. I would also bet, by the way, that we'll never see it at a
Healey
event, more's the pity.

Cheers
Gary

Sprite Jubilee giveaway Spridget
A date, Saturday February 17 through Wednesday 21, 2008, has been set in an
attempt to see if the we can put together the Sprite Jubilee Spridget.  If you
would like to donate some of your time, materials, parts and expertise to help
with this project contact Rick Moses.  Email dr.moses at verizon.net or telephone
877-748-3165.  You do not have to be a Spridget expert to lend a hand!!!   At
minimum, if we cannot get the car to a giveaway condition, we want to put it
back on the road.  The Sprite Jubilee car would then be available for those
coming to Sprite Jubilee without a Spridget.  They can use it for the many
scheduled events.    Work will be done in one of two small heated garages.  A
list of what appears to be needed for this car is located at
http://www.austinhealeysprite.org/gaway_helpneed.html    At this point in time
we will not change the car by adding a Bugeye bonnet, numbers 5 through 12,
nor painting it gold, numbers 14 through 16.  John Plankey from Florida will
be exchanging the transmission.  I have taken time off from my patients to
help.  Food, beverage will be provided.  Accommodations in three apartments
will also be provided as needed and space allows.  Please let me know if your
are coming.  The SJ Spridget car is located at 1421 East Chocolate Avenue,
Hershey, PA 17033 so you can Google the map directions or just call us.  Thank
you for considering this request.  Rick Moses

What's wrong with this picture? Cage's favorite car had a Ford V8
engine and an automatic transmission and yet he still referred to it
as an Austin Healey?

Manly story. Girlie car.

Gentlemen and List,

At my first U.K. National Meet, Knebworth 1976,  there was a black, and 
I believe, 100 with red leather fitted luggage.  While I'm sure I would 
never have been so lucky to have viewed the only official set alluded to 
by Mr. Coker, these were done with incredible design and quality.  As I 
remember (this coming from an old fa*t with CRS Syndrome), there were 5 
separate pieces, none of which were "square" geometrically speaking.  
They fit together like an old Chinese wood puzzle in two layers.  Every 
bit of boot space was taken with the top layer actually being sloped to 
clear the boot lid.  They were really magnificent.

I realize that like a Rolls, a Healey never breaks down, it just 
occasionally fails to proceed!  But with the fitted leather, where is 
one to stow his spares and spanners, just in case? ;-)

I know, I know, where are the pictures?  Unfortunately, due to terrible 
advice from a FORMER father-in-law, I shot slides for many years.  I'm 
sure I have some, but being wheelchair bound with little use of my right 
hand at the moment, it's not feasible to go through thousands of those 
little boxes containing 20 or 36 slides.  (Any volunteers?  I'll supply 
the beer!)  I am on the mend however, and someday the above task will be 
accomplished!

Mr. John Harper:  I recall that I first met you in 1981 at your Bristol 
Meet.  Any chance you remember that car back in that circa?
 
Time for calls to find a friend to take Red Car and me out for a drive 
on this gorgeous Sunday morning on the southern Left Coast.  My 
apologies to the List for getting keyboard diarrhea!!!

Bill.
i stow most of my small spares in the spare tire.
i turn it over and fill it up.
 then i tape a small round piece of cardboard over it all and
carefully turn it over again and slide it back in.
it holds a very large amount of stuff. the rest i shove behind and
next to the tire.
my small hand tools i wrap in shop rags and secure with a rubber band
and stuff them in the nook's.

I'm wondering about the heater core, but I suppose the same applies 
to the main radiator; During a restoration, when components will be 
shelved for an indefinate period of time, should  radiators be stored 
empty, or with some coolant in them? In other words, will the 
anti-corrosion additives in the coolant give some protection?

Hi Mike,

The earlier BN1 to car 140204 had a driveshaft 21 1/8" long.
The next one from car 140205 to 221535 was 20 3/4" long.
The last one, for all Hundreds from BN1 car 221536 through end of BN2 was 
20" long. These were the cars with the C series rear axle, therefore 
slightly longer diff nose.

I had Iskenderian ( http://www.iskycams.com ) regrind my BJ8 cam, specs are:
268? total duration, can't remember lobe lift, intake 27-61, exhaust 61-27.
Cost about $100. They don't list the regrind on their website anymore, may
want to call and talk to Ron (Ed's son) to see if they still do it. I also
went with higher ratio rockers (1:1.55) Remember, that building a
performance engine is a package deal. Longer duration cams won't do a whole
lot until you match intake and exhaust for the application you're looking
for.

Ken,

I had Elgin Cams regrind my stock BJ8 cam with a mild street grind.  I don't
have the cam card handy, but I think it was about 20 degrees duration added,
but no appreciable lift increase.  Just enough to wake it up but still give
a nice, smooth idle.  Throttle response is excellent, but I did smooth all
intake and exhaust ports to remove casting flash and matched intake and
exhaust as well.  They also reground all lifters for me and nitrided the cam
and lifters.

Cheers,
Chris
BJ8

I went the Isky way with my 100. It cost me $80 plus shipping. They had 
several grinds to choose from and I picked the E99+4 whatever that means. It 
has 260 degrees of duration (as opposed to 230 degrees standard) with 46 
degrees of overlap. Valve lift is .425" (as opposed to .390" standard). The 
engine starts, runs and idles nicely and is not lumpy. Of course it will put 
the engine it was before in the dust, but it was pretty weak before so I 
really don't have a way of comparing before and after. Also I think I need 
to add some carburetion and will probably try to find a way to hang some H6s 
and a set of headers on it in the future. Someone on the list said they had 
trouble dealing with Isky and couldn't get timely service from them. My 
experience was that Ron is the only one who deals with older cam grinds and 
is sometimes out of pocket, but I was not in a hurry and when I did talk to 
him he was very courteous and helpful. He explained to me the 
characteristics of the various grinds and helped me decide. Once the 
decision was made and the cam shipped to them the service was quite prompt. 
I am very satisfied with the result. I'll let you know if I change my mind 
after the carb and exhaust upgrades... in 10 or 15 years.

Here's a trick I've used on most of my long-distance Healey trips (>500
miles).
Save the plastic "sleeves" that most home delivered newspapers come in.   Roll
one day's clothes into each one and pack them whereever they fit in the car.
I've done up  to 15 days this way.  Grab one each night along with my "shaving

good to go.

Many thanks for all the replies re. the above. Some very useful stuff.
Thanks for taking the time..

I tend to get lost when I approach the milliamp area, but this is where I
think I am:-

Ignition off, keys in my pocket. 

If I disconnect the battery's + lead and put a test light between clamp and
terminal, the light illuminates.

If I put in a meter, I get a reading of 60milliamps, I think. The arrow
flicks in time with the red light on the console for the alarm system. Do I
assume that the 60 milliamps is primarily being consumed by the alarm?

How much is 60 milliamps anyhow? Six thousandths of an amp?? Doesn't sound
like much? But spread it over a week???

I think this is pointing me towards the old/dying battery scenario......??

 

While I'm pushing my luck on the non Healey front, anyone ever have any luck
with the heater control valves in Porsche 944S2s? It appears to be
electrically triggered but vacuum powered. I gather they go wrong quite
frequently.

 Ken,
I think you will achieve what you want with any "next step up from BJ8
cam". The cost will probably also be to your fuel mileage. There hasn't
been any world changing cam tech changes applicable to our engines since
1966. The best I ever get from my "next step up" engine is 17mpg. I
think the stock cammed road tests of the day reported 20 something.

That would qualify as "matched luggage".  You could market it as clothing

*I nearly killed myself in my favourite car.* I had an Austin Healey with a
Ford V8 engine placed into it like a makeshift AC Cobra. Then I hired a
mechanic to put in an automatic gearbox. I was driving on the 405 in
Hollywood, went to light a cigarette and my hand got stuck in the
transmission. I shifted the car from drive into park and the car fish-tailed
on the freeway. I went into a 180-degree spin and ended up facing traffic
head on. All I could see was this huge truck coming towards me; the driver
got on the CB loudspeaker and screamed at me to put the car into reverse. I
was in total shock and I just did it. I reversed all the way back until I
found an exit. It was crazy. I could have died  so for a while I was in a
very odd state of mind. It's probably the most dangerous thing I've
survived.

I've got a cam grind from Schnieder that is called 2860.
Just as described by others. IS one steo up from BJ8

It is 260 degrees duration with .425 lift.

IIRC, a BJ8 is 252 degrees with .368 lift.

I bought it well over 10 years ago and have not yet built my engine.

Simon,

60 milliamps is 0.060 amps. This would be 1.44 amp hours per day, 10 amp 
hours per week, 43 amp hours per month, etc. Since the draw is on-off 
instead of steady the actual drain would be less.

How long the battery would last depends on the battery size, condition, 
& how often the car is driven to recharge it. If your battery was 
originally rated at 60 amp hours, the battery would be discharged maybe 
1/3 in a month. If the battery is old or in poor condition, it might 
very well have less than it's original capacity & go flat sooner.

I would expect most batteries to last at least a month without driving 
before going flat.

A battery shop or similar can do a battery capacity/load test to 
determine it's exact condition.

Dear Bill

My memory of 30 plus years ago can no longer be considered accurate but 
I do recall a set of fitted luggage on show at one of the late 1970s or 
early 1980s IHWs. If this was Knebworth you could be right because I was 
there. The luggage was made up of a selection of irregular items and it 
could have been five.

Yes I was also at the Bristol IHW. The special luggage could have been 
on show there but I am not sure. What took my eye, I recall, was a very 
good draw bar fitted to 100 and I was told that a trailer was regularly 
hauled. The 100 might have belonged to Joe Cox's father but again I am 
not sure. Joe is the owner of one of the authentic Rolls Royce engined 
cars.

I too took photos at these events and one day I will transfer them to 
digital so that they can be accessed more sensibly.

Many years ago I saw a photo or an advert for this luggage set. If I

Simon,
Sixty milliamps is too much by a factor of about three.  I would expect at
rest your car to consume NO MORE 20-25 mA tops.  most likely less.  Even the
modern fully computerized cars I teach on only draw about 25 mA when
sleeping.
With your ampmeter hooked up go though and remove fuses one by one to
determine the source of the draw, and correct.
Start with the power to any aftermarket systems like alarms and radios.
After that, go to the factory systems.
Good luck
Rick

Subject: [Healeys]  Help-Low pressure in the overdrive unit
Message-ID: <440518.9045.qm@web58206.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

My overdrive unit will not engage and has an operating
pressure of about 320 pounds pressure at 1000 rpm on
the tach.  Removal of the accumulator spring and
placing two washers as a ship under the spring
increased the pressure to about 380 lb pressure at
1000 rpm and about 400 lb at 1500 rpm.  There was no
trash on either operating valve ball or the pump
non-return valve.  The oil appeared clean and there
was no trash in the filter screen.  What could be the
most likely cause of the low pressure?

Thanks in advance,

Since it is a 944 are you are getting full heat at times that you don't  want 
full heat?
 
I missed a lot of this thread so I don't know if this has been covered  yet. 
The Heater Control Valve does go bad quite often. You can check it with a  
Mity Vac, a hand operated vacuum pump, while the valve is in place. It is  
located behind the engine on the 944 and is one of the worst jobs to replace  that 
you will ever encounter so don't just jump into replacing it. When German  cars 
fail they are set to default to the full heat mode.
 
If it checks out OK and you are getting full  heat at times that you don't 
want full heat it is most likely a  plastic  clip at the end of the rod that 
operates the Heater door inside the car.  Basically you have a door to the heater 
box that is opened by a small motor that  is connected to a rod that is 
connected to the door. When the system calls for  heat the motor kicks in and opens 
the door slightly. The connecting clip often  breaks and allows the door to 
fully open instead of only partially. The 944 has  a climate control setting 
where you set the temperature you want so even if  you are in Air Conditioner 
mode the heat will come on if the car gets too  cold.
 
The motor is located under the dash between the steering  column and the 
center line of the car on my left hand drive 1988  944 (If I were going to do this 
again I would remove the drivers  seat.)
 
 In a very quiet garage and with the key on ( battery  charged) turn the 
switch for the temperature setting back and forth with your  head under the 
dashboard. You will hear the motor operate. As I recall I had to  remove some 
ducting and trim panels in order to reach the motor.
 
I requires two or three clips at $1 each so replace them all  while you are 
there.

Ron,

It had been engaging slowly for about a month or so I
thought that I would attack the problem this Winter. 
But then I noticed that the Brake master cylinder
needed to be replaced.  Following that operation, I
road tested the car and during a short drive (25
miles) the overdrive would not engage.  It worked once
or twice on the drive and then not again.  All of the
electrical stuff works and the ball in the operating
valve is lifted when the overdrive switch is thrown.

I had my cam ground locally here in Riverside, California.  There is a cam
grinder called Web Cams that has been grinding cams since 1945, so they
have been grinding Healey cams since the beginning.   Had my 100-4 cam
ground by them in a couple of days.  They leave a black coating on the cam
to protect it on start up.  All in all a very professional job.  Here's a
link: http://www.webcamshafts.com/  They list a stock grind, mild street
with wider power band and a racing grind for top end performance.  I
suppose if you had 100M specs they would be able to handle that also. 
Just offering another alternative.

A word about cams -- Prompted by the "crappy gas mileage" comment.

All cams close the intake valve somewhat after bottom dead center as the 
piston is on it's way back up on the compression stroke. Late intake 
valve closing is done to increase cylinder filling at higher rpm.

Since compression cannot begin until the intake valve is closed, the 
dynamic effective compression ratio is less than the static (rated) 
compression ratio. With a short duration (mild) cam, the effective point 
of intake valve closing might be around 45 degrees after bottom dead 
center. For a static compression ratio of 7.9 to 1, this would yield an 
effective compression ratio of around 7.2 to 1.

If  the cam duration is increased, the intake valve is closed later on 
it's way toward TDC. A typical "hotter" cam would close the intake valve 
at maybe 65 degrees after bottom dead center. The static compression 
ratio would still be 7.9 to 1, but the dynamic compression ratio would 
now be 6.3 to 1 instead of 7.2 to 1 as with the milder cam. This CR 
decrease would reduce low & mid range torque & fuel mileage by about 14%.

To get back to the original 7.2 to 1 dynamic ratio that the milder cam 
had, it would require raising the static compression ratio to 9.1 to 1. 
This would regain the low rpm torque & fuel mileage losses.

Notes:
If the compression ratio is not increased, this low & mid rpm torque 
loss will eventually be compensated for as rpm increases & intake  gas 
inertia overcomes the rising piston on the compression stroke, causing  
cylinder filling to be more complete, & the dynamic compression ratio 
becomes nearly the same as the static compression ratio. But only at 
higher rpm.

With the CR increase, torque at low & mid rpm is maintained at the 
original level & will show a substantial gain at higher rpm if intake & 
exhaust flows are compatible with the cam characteristics.

The intake & exhaust systems must be designed to handle the increased 
flows at higher rpm. Everything HAS to work together. Remember the old 
saying, cams, carbs, compression, & exhaust.

Here is a good web site to compare cam timing, static, & dynamic 
compression ratios.
http://kb-silvolite.com/calc.php?action=comp

The exact results will depend on the stroke length, bore diameter,  & 
connecting rod length of your particular engine.

Regards,
Dave Russell

Carlos -

Why don't you fix the one's you have?  Take your cape brackets down and have
them modify them to where they won't shake.  If you spend a few minutes with
it, a good chassis welder will probably charge you no more than $100 to fix
the ones you have.

Best,

Alan

You may need to replace the o-rings on the accumulator piston housing. When 
these deteriorate and start to leak by the accumlator won't build enough 
pressure to operate the OD.

Hi All, this is just FYI as a follow up to some list Dip/Strip chassis
chat a couple of weeks ago.  I have no other reason for posting this
except FYI.

 It just brought out a couple of points that I found interesting.

John, I do not suggest you chemically strip a chassis because the
chemical stripping does not dissolve the rusted metal. It just dissolves
the rusty top coating. It will remove undercoating. It may not remove
body fill or plastics. There is no neutralizing process available that
will guarantee the seeping of acids from the inside rails. Any scaly
rust inside the chassis rails will be saturated with the acids used in
the dipping process. Any panels mating to other panels in layered form
will also retain the aggressive chemical. These areas will never be
neutralized. This will seep for years and cause consistent paint
problems for the chassis and panels welded to it.  This can be a
nightmare for painting and the cost of each paint job is substantial.
Certainly this needs to be considered.  Also during welding repairs,
toxic gases from the chemicals will be present and could cause
respiratory problems.

I would recommend media blasting (sand). This is a chemical free and
aggressive stripping method of metal surfaces. Sandblasting will blow
through any areas that are weak unlike chemical stripping which won't.
The intent of removing old finishes and rust is to expose the true
condition of the chassis. Chemical stripping will not reveal this.

We have been doing Austin Healeys for 25 years and only use the media
blast method.

If you would like more information about our company and product may I
suggest you look at our web site www.jule-enterprises.com

Jack et al,

I'd like to add two caveats to the sandblasting method (which is the
method I prefer btw).

The media chosen will impact how the metal can be treated afterwards.
If silica sand is used then you cannot powder coat the metal as the
silica is embedded in the metal and causes the failure of the powder
coating material.

Additionally, if there's undercoating/excessive grease/road tar/etc on
the metal you'll have a much faster/more successful process if you
scrape as much as possible off before hand. It's an onerous process,
but a little heat (heat gun/propane torch) and a putty knife will
strip the good relatively quickly.

If you're painting, there's no issues. My recipe for success is
scraping, media blasting, POR-15 & Chassis Coat.

Chassis coat comes in black, silver and white if I remember correctly.
It's used as a cover layer to protect the POR-15 from UV Light.

If it isn't a "proper" colour you can paint over it. Normally, if
there's a specific colour I'm trying to hit I spray with white chassis
coat as if it were a primer and then do my regular paint over top.

POR15 has a "Tie-Coat" that acts as a paintable barrier over the POR15 
itself.  Apply the Tie-Coat and then paint over it with whatever color you 
want.

With the rear plate off, it looks as though the only part that needs a
gasket or sealing is the area around the rear of the camshaft.

Does anyone know if the area is subject to high oil pressure or is it just
runoff from the end of the camshaft?

I wonder if anyone's used spray gasket material, such as Permatex Copper
spray to seal that area with success.

Thoughts?

Ya ever wonder where those bags have been before they get to your house?

 Lets see????    Maybe on the car floor of the paperboy/girl where her/his 
dogs butt was sitting hours earlier.  Or maybe a dirty diaper or the cats 
vomit from being car sick when it was taken to the vet,  was on the floor 
before those wonderful free bags were.    I really don't think the delivery 
person cares or is thinking about keeping those bags nice and clean for you 
so you can put your clean clothes in them.   Do you know what is in 
newspaper ink?  Not to mention what it would do to a pair of nice white 
shorts.  Or maybe the delivery persons'  choice of vehicle is a pickumup 
trunk. I don't even want to think about what I've seen in the back of some 
of those.

I think I'll just continue using those bags to pick up the dog crap and buy 
nice new  Zip Lock storage bags for my clean clothes and accessories.

If you still want some extra, free, newspaper bags, my dog will loan you 
some of his.

 How much weight does the Por-15 add to the total frame??  That's tough
stuff.  Sounds like it's better to get the whole thing sand blasted then
replace the frame, any comments on a Jules frame verse a Kilmartin??
When it's all said and done looks like about 
the same cost.

Jule frames have lots of advocacy; they are very strong.  I have Kilmartin 
frame; virtually identical to the old frame--no concourse points reductions 
with Kilmartin--if that means anything to you.  Kilmartin = Australian  = 
fun people to deal with.

Personally I would chemically strip the exterior of chassis, sandbast only 
rustred areas. lightyhand sand (220 grit)or cup wheel the rest. Epoxy coat 
chassis and paint desired topcoat.
If you have abilities and time this is the best way to preserve the small 
pressing/welding/spotwelding details which should show up on a properly 
finished frame.
Sorry ,do not like POR 15 and the fact that you need another primer coat 
then color coat on top of that. Way too much material going down, and if you 
brush on the stuff it looks terrible.

Only my 2 cents worth , just tryin to preserve them as they were built, 
think of the poor guy who will have to remove this stuff on the next resto.

Clean original bare metal done correctly looks absolutely  beautiful in the 
engine bay and really sets the tone for the rest of the car. you know its 
done right.

Subject: [Healeys] Castrol classic car oil

 

List AMSOIL users:

 

AMSOIL is planning to indicate the ZDDP levels on their labels shortly so
consumers can see exactly what their product has. When I asked about ZDDP
here is what they had to say.  As usual-no financial interest here:

 

This is a complicated issue, so I'll give you the short version. ZDDP (zinc
dithiophosphate) acts as a good anti-wear agent when used in motor oils. The
American Petroleum Institute (API), however, mandated a reduction in ZDDP
levels in the most current API-approved oils (API SM, ILSAC GF-4). The
contention was that ZDDP, over time, could damage catalytic converters. 

 

API is a minimum performance standard. Some AMSOIL motor oils are
API-approved and others are not. The AMSOIL motor oils that are not
API-approved are more robust formulations than those that are. Two in
particular contain higher levels of ZDDP: AMSOIL Premium Protection 10W-40
and Premium Protection 20W-50. In fact, we are currently revising the labels
on those products to include a starburst indicting the high zinc levels.

I just got this information from the MG Vintage Racing mail list, relative to 
our discussions last week. Once again, passing this on does not in any way 
constitute an endorsement for Castrol or this oil, nor does it imply that this 
oil is preferable to any other oil available on the market from auto parts 
stores or on special order from special brand resellers. So, please don't shoot 
the messenger or post an email suggesting I once again read old articles posted 
on the web about oil viscosities and additives.

I contacted Castrol concerning their new motor oil for "Classic Cars" with 
higher zinc levels, and received the following response yesterday.B  I thought 
you might be interested in their reply.B  Also in talking with a Castrol 
representative, they said that this is a new oil from themB and if you local Castrol

should request that they order some.B  The new containerB has printed on itB "For

Hey gang.
I have an arcane fastener question that I am struggling with.
 
The screws used to retain the aluminium cockpit trim rails are listed as
RPP0312's. The decode of this identifies them as Raised Countersunk screws,
Chrome plated with pointed tips. No.10 thread and 3/4" long.

That's good so far - but what is a No.10 screw thread, or a No.6 (02) for
that matter?
 
Many thanks.........

Norman,

I do have your excellent book, and I have used it many
times to solve other problems.  I am also using it as
a reference with this problem.

Thank you for making this book available to Healey
owners.

Subject: [Healeys] Ethanol and Vintage Cars
Message-ID: <1486B5F9D11D470897B8CB4F117D9C9B@LeonardPC>

.and speaking of oil for old cars, how about ethanol for our 'vintage'
vehicles?

The January 14, 2008, edition of AutoWeek magazine has an article, "PENNY
WISE, POUND FUELISH   Ethanol blends and your vintage car: Are they a potent
mixture?".

The article starts by mentioning the relatively few pumps nationwide offering
E85 for flex fuel vehicles and mentions that Virginia and Maryland mandate E10
to help conserve fossil fuels. Following are some excerpts from the article:

".Here's the bad news: Ethanol acts as a solvent that can loosen the sludge,
varnish and dirt that accumulate in a fuel tank. Ethanol also absorbs water,
and the ethanol-water mixture may separate from the blended gasoline and sink
to the bottom of a fuel tank where the fuel pickup is located. This mixture
can clog fuel lines and block carburetor jets and may be incompatible with
older rubber compounds and some metals.

"...Hagerty Insurance Agency in traverse City, Michigan, . has just initiated
a $50,000 study, in conjunction with the Kettering University Advanced Engine
research Laboratory (AERL) in Flint, Michigan, to find out what happens over
time when an ethanol-gasoline blend is used in old cars.

"...The study is expected to take one year, though preliminary findings may be
announced this summer.

"...In the interim, the experts suggest that you drain and clean your old
car's fuel tank, use a fuel-tank sealer that's impervious to ethanol, replace
fuel filters, keep all screens clear and use a fuel stabilizer.if your vintage
car is to be stored for any length of time."



NOTE: Based upon reports on The List of clogged fuel lines due to tank sealers
separating from the tank and clogging filters, tank sealer may not be a good
idea.

If you can't find the 'pure' gasoline you need, or Avgas or Racing Fuel, you
might want to try this alternative as a conversion for your Healey:

Alan,
 
Could they be referring to a sheet metal or wood screw size?  I know  wood 
screws are designated #6,8,10,12 x lengths.  It wouldn't be the thread  so much 
as the diameter.

Steve -

The rear of the engine is supposed to have a thin paper gasket between the
plate and the block.  These gaskets are part of a bottom end kit, and you
can sometimes buy it seperately.

Alan,

By raised countersunk, I think that in today's terms that would mean Oval
Head, and likely Phillips.  There are several types of thread that might
come on a #10 screw.  The number is like a guage or thickness.  You can
easily get a #4, 6, 8, 10, 12 in a variety of machine threads for use with a
nut, like your standard 4-40, 6-32, 8-32, 8-24, 10-32, 10-24, etc.  Once you
get above a #14 you are into 1/4"-20 threads per inch territory.

You can get sheet metal screws or wood screw in those same shank sizes of 4,
6, 8, 10, etc. but the threads are different and wood screws have tapered
shanks.  Sheet metal screws are not tapered, so the gauge of the shank is
the same the whole length of the screw, except maybe at the very tip.

Any decent Ace or True value will have a selection of Sharon fasteners with
chrome plated oval head sheet metal screws in a variety of sizes and
lengths, and some may have stainless.  Don't waste your time at Home Depot
or Lowes, they stopped carrying a good selection of fasteners about 2 years
ago.

Cheers,
Chris

Hey gang.
I have an arcane fastener question that I am struggling with.
 
The screws used to retain the aluminium cockpit trim rails are listed as
RPP0312's. The decode of this identifies them as Raised Countersunk screws,
Chrome plated with pointed tips. No.10 thread and 3/4" long.

That's good so far - but what is a No.10 screw thread, or a No.6 (02) for
that matter?
 
Many thanks.........

It's a product that Lucas started making that is an oil additive.  The  GM 
EOS is the ZDDP fix.  The Lucas is insurance.  Hope that  helps.

Ps...This is really much more of an issue on NEWLY rebuilt  engines that are 
breaking in the cam & lifters.  If you haven't just  rebuilt your engine then 
you may have a "Slightly" higher wear rate (Slightly  higher meaning not 
enough that you should be all that worried) but you aren't  going to weld pieces of 
your cam lobes to your lifters like you could possibly  do with a newly 
rebuilt engine.

Do NOT buy your carpet from Heritage!  It is the absolute worst.  Padding 
kit made wrong,  Padding kit pieces didn't fit.  Carpet pieces made wrong. 
Carpet pieces didn't fit.  Not one of them!  Karvel OEM type carpet is the 
WORST carpet I've ever seen,  period.  Some pieces were WAY too big.  OK, I 
can cut them to fit, but I thought I was buying a kit that DID fit. 
Otherwise, why buy a kit anyway?  Why not just buy bulk carpet and cut it 
yourself?  Some pieces were too small.  "No", they said, "we can't send you 
a correct sized piece, we only sell kits."  The only way they said they 
could help me was to send a piece of carpet of roughly the right dimensions 
so I could cut out the pieces I needed.  For $50.00.  It arrives, and it's 
$120.00 because "the boss said I could only send a full yard."  So I paid 
$120.00 to buy carpet to make pieces that they supplied wrong.  And 
apparently the boss has no real interest in correcting his patterns, so, the 
next guy gets the same problem.  Oh, and the Karvel comes apart when you 
glue it, so, you get to glue every carpet piece down TWICE.  Overall time to 
get the padding pieces sent out correct and the carpet pieces out correct - 
MONTHS.  Total garbage.

Yes, I got their kit initially.  The pieces were cut nicely and fit well but 
the carpet itself was really odd.  Almost more like deep felt rather than 
carpet.  Looked strange and wasn't close to original so I returned it.

After installing a Toyota five-speed in my BN1 I used a Moss FG side-shift  
transmission tunnel (changing the shifter hole location to accomodate the 
center  shifter) which fits great and laps over the short permanent rear tunnel  
section.  I also made up a custom extension panel which sits a bit  further aft 
of the original one due to the larger bell housing.  
 
I asked the folks at Heritage if they could send a kit in wool with  standard 
BN1 floor pieces and a tunnel piece running "wild" with the  seam running 
along the driver's side top of the tunnel which I cut to  shape, plus some extra 
material to cover the extension panel.  I ultimately  had to speak to the boss 
the approve who understood the situation and  approved the order.  
 
Nice folks and nice products.

The Moss set does not have the correct armacord which goes  under and behind the seats.  The material is also wrong.  The price is the only thing going for it.

I haven't seen a reply on the list that directly answered your question,  
yet. An RPP0312 is a #10 x 3/4" recessed raised head, pointed, chrome plated  
screw as you stated. It should have 32 threads per Inch. A #6 of the same  
specification will also have 32 threads per inch.

The screws used to retain the aluminium cockpit trim rails are  listed as

That's good so far - but what is a No.10 screw thread, or a No.6  (02) for

I  have a brand new aluminum tank for my BN2 restoration.  Do I have to
coat the inside of that before I install it?  In fact, it will be all new
fuel lines, pump and H6 carbs.  What exactly should be done from the tank
forward to the carbs if I will be using ethanol?

FWIW, I recently put Penrite Classic 20W-50 in my TR250, and recently
started the car on a cold day (temp in the low 40s).  This stuff is
*really* thick, and the engine cranked very slowly at first.  I think I
may go with something a bit lighter in the cooler months.

I would suspect that to be a #10 screw, with 32 thread  (fine), with oval 
head.

SS screws in that size are pretty common at hardware stores if that would
work.

Mike:  Technically, I can not answer that question.  I would consider Ken
Freese's response to be reasonable based upon his experience.  Although the
aluminum tank would avoid the problem of rust, I could still foresee a
problem with ethanol-water separation if the vehicle sat unused, especially
in a cold climate, over a long period of time.  I don't have any idea how
long it would take for the separated ethanol-water, plus condensation, to
accumulate enough to come up to the fuel take-up in the tank.

The other concern, per Tom Felts, is what can happen to the rubber in the
carb.  He mentions the "blue" colored rubber pieces that are allegedly
compatible with the mix.  This was discussed many moons ago on The List
when, I think, MTBE was 'popular' but was destroying rubber components
(and making people sick).

A man owned a manufactured home dealership in Wisconsin. The Wisconsin State
Wage & Hour Department suspected that he was not paying proper wages to his
help and sent an agent out to interview him."I need to know about your
employees and how much you pay them," demanded the agent."Well," replied the
man, "there's my serviceman who's been with me for 3 years.  I pay him $200 a
week plus free room and board. The office manager has been here for 18 months,
and I pay her $150 per week plus free room and board. Then there's the
half-wit who works about 18 hours every day. He makes about $10 per week, pays
his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday
night.  He also sleeps with my wife occasionally.""That's the guy I want to
talk to -- the half-wit," says the agent."That would be me," replied the man.

Message-ID: <023701c85eef$0f5c48c0$2e14da40$@com>

Here's your chance to get a copy of a book long out of print. Original
copies have gone for hundreds of dollars on Ebay.

 

John Sprinzel has reprinted "Spritely Years" after buying the rights and the
acetates back from Haynes. 

 

This is a "must have" for anyone interested in Sprites, Healeys, Triumph,
Ford, rallying, and a host of other cars John drove during his career. It's
an honest, informative, funny look at John's life as a driver, tuner,
manufacturer, etc.

 

Only 500 copies were produced for the 50th Sprite year anniversary, so that
they will still be fairly rare. 

 

He is selling them autographed at $65 including postage in the US ($71.00
overseas) .

 

His address is P.O. Box 97 Kaunakakai HI 96748

 

John's e-mail  address for this is johnsebring65 at gmail.com .

 

He does have Paypal, (though he says, "I am not yet too sure how it all
works"), otherwise US check or money order will do the trick. 

 

He'll have a few copies at the Sprite deal  in May, and Tom Coulthard
(co-author) might be there to sign them as well.

   _____  

A man owned a small farm in  Indiana .. The Indiana State Wage & Hour
Department claimed he was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an
agent out to interview him. "I need a list of your employees and how much
you pay them," demanded the agent. 

" Well," replied the farmer, "there's my farm hand who's been with me for 3
years.   I pay him $200 a week plus free room and board. 

The cook has been here for 18 months, and I pay her $150 per week plus free
room and board.

 Then there's the half-wit who works about 18 hours every day and does about
90% of all the work around here.   He makes about $10 per week, pays  his
own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of bourbon every Saturday night.
He also sleeps with my wife occasionally." 

"That's the guy I want to talk to --- the half-wit," says the agent. 

"That would be me,"  replied the farmer.

Couple of more regarding the "masked rider of the plains" and his "faithful
Indian companion":

The Lone Ranger and Tonto were in a desperate scrape with some cattle
rustlers, and would, it seem, need some help in rounding them all up. The
Lone Ranger sent Tonto to town for assistance, while he kept the bad guys
pinned down. In a short while, Tonto returned with several attractive
dance-hall girls. Naturally this annoyed our hero, who then said: "Tonto, I
distinctly told you to bring the posse!"

This is a visual: Our heroes are standing on a road behind some low hills;
the tall buildings of a city are visible in the distance, and a signpost
near them reads: "San Francisco - 20 miles" The masked man is holding the
reins of both horses, while Tonto, who has his ear to the ground, speaks"
"Many proctologists, Kemo Sabe, MANY proctologists."

And finally, we see a wizened Lone Ranger, in great age, in a rocking chair,
mask hanging on the wall - clearly he has retired from active duty. We see
that he is reading a book, entitled "English-Sioux Dictionary". The balloon
above this peaceful scene reads: "Kemo Sabe = North end of southbound horse"

Hi Randy,

The rear seats in a BJ8 are fastened with four 10-32 studs welded to the 
under flanges. These pass down through holes in the rear surrounding area. 
The nuts, locks and flat washers securing the pans must be unscrewed from 
beneath the car to remove the pans.
The rear fold down panel has 1/4" NF screws passing down through the rear 
wood frame base into captive nuts in the rear panel. Then there are two 
screws that screw into the right and left vertical frame pieces of the 
panel, accessed from the rear wheel arches. These also barely pass through 
the rear edge of the rear quarter trim panels and trap the panels between 
the wheel arch and these vertical pieces of the fold down panel frame.
The rear quarter trim panels fasten along the rear door aperture flange with 
sheet metal screws and cup washers. With these removed, the panel must be 
brough inboard to clear the shoulder belt studs (remove their chromed acorn 
nuts and screws on an earleier BJ8, plastic capping on later models) and 
then bring the entire panel forward to clear the small metal lip at the rear 
of the fold down panel.
Have fun!

Rich Chrysler

As a humorous aside. I learned an interesting fact from my ex-wife
regarding Tonto. (Probably the only worthwhile thing I remember about
that whole stage of life).

Tonto means stupid.

When the spanish explorers were traversing the american southwest they
were working with the Yaqui tribe (iirc) nd asked who the indians to
the north were. The yaqui said that they were the Tonto indians. The
explorers took that to be their name, not an adjective.

All things progress over time, and we end up with the adventures of
the Lone Ranger and Stupid. :)

Hi Randy,This is something that I just did not very long ago.  First, remove
the nuts from the studs (4 on each seat pan) which extend down through the
back deck.  Soak them in penetrating oil and carefully remove the nuts and
then pull the seat pans out.  The nuts are accessed from the rear wheel
openings.  Although you won't need to remove these just to replace the carpet.
To remove the rear seat back/parcel shelf you need to remove the four
posidrive screws (2 on each side) from the panel in the rear wheel wells.  The
heads of these screws are in the wheel well on a vertical plane above and just
to the rear of the bump boxes.  These screws secure the seat back frame to the
side panels.  The two rear quarter panels have holes in them which those
screws go through as well.  Also there are three screws that go down through
the bottom seat back frame member into weld nuts--remove those screws.  You
can then remove the entire seat back and frame as a unit.  Then remove the
upholstery screws along the front aspect of the rear quarter panel inboard of
the shut face pillar. Remove the two chrome dome nuts on each rear quarter
panel.  The quarter panel can then be removed exposing the top spring and
mechanism.  Having done all that you will have a clear view of all the carpet
around the inner wheel wells and back panel where the three drain tubes are
located.  The center drain tube is covered with carpet and the outer two are
not.  In order to change out the carpet on the parcel shelf I took it to an
upholsterer with the new carpet and he installed it very reasonably and
neatly.  Frequently though the T nuts in the seat back frame are rusted and
come apart when you remove the screws so you may have to take the material off
the frame to replace them.  Hopefully the wood isn't rotten like mine was so
you won't have to rebuild the frame.   Hope this is clear and helpful.  I have
some pictures of this area, they may be of use. Take care, George Haywood'65

You describe it as synthetic, but you don't mention whether it is DOT 3, DOT

Hi Jim,

All presently available Castrol brake fluids for Dot 3-4 use are synthetic.

Castrol GT LMA is a Dot 3-Dot 4 synthetic brake fluid. Fully compatible 
with other Dot 3-4 fluids. It contains a mixture of "alkyl polyglycol 
ether esters" & inhibitors. It has a wet boiling point of 311 F & dry BP 
of 446 F. It seems to be the most widely recommended fluid.

Likewise Valvoline  Synpower  is a Dot 3-Dot 4 synthetic brake fluid. 
Fully compatible with other Dot 3-4 fluids. It contains "a mixture of 
glycol ethers, polyglycols, & inhibitors". It has a wet boiling point of 
343 F & dry BP of 446F. Not to be sacrilegious, but this particular 
Valvoline fluid is equal to GTLMA in all ways, is fully compatible, & 
has a slightly higher wet BP.

There are also several other fluid brands of equal composition, 
compatability, & performance.

None of the above would work well with old natural rubber Girling rubber 
parts, but these parts would only be available as very old NOS & really 
not satisfactory for any current use in the first place. All newer 
rubber brake parts are synthetics, even Girling rubber for at least the 
last 20 years & will work with available modern fluids,

  DOT 5.1 is a polyglycol based fluid,  with a higher boiling point, & 
is compatible with DOT 3-4 fluids. Not to be confused with DOT 5 
silicone fluid. The numbering system is a bit confusing. DOT 3,4, & 5.1 
are polyglycols, DOT 5 is silicone.

Many car makers recommend DOT 3-4 fluid today because it has lower 
viscosity than DOT 5 silicone & works much better with the rapidly 
cycling ABS systems. Silicone is too viscous to work well with ABS 
systems at cold temperatures.

Some folks feel that since the polyglycols absorb moisture, which is 
removed when the fluid is changed they are better than the silicones 
which do not absorb moisture & allow it to collect in the low spots of 
the system & cause rust. The pros & cons are argued endlessly.

To sum it up, the Castrol synthetic is a perfectly normal standard 
fluid. No fear.

Hmmmb&

I am slightly confused here, but let me then rephrase the question to 2
different ones:

- what was he material used originally for carpets in a 100?
- Is there any place I can buy good quality (OEM? Better?) carpet material?
(Preferably in Europe..)

I have a very good shop here which does upholstery, carpets, etc. for vintage
cars. The only problem with them is there is about 6-12 month waiting time to
get an appointmentb& Yes, they are that goodb& b:

Sad news...

With all the sadness and trauma going on in the world at the moment,  
it is worth reflecting on the death of a very important person, which  
almost went unnoticed last week.  Larry LaPrise, the man that wrote  
"The Hokie Pokey" died peacefully at the age of 93. The most  
traumatic part for his family was getting him into the coffin. They  
put his left leg in - and then the trouble started.

Never Choke in a restaurant in the South

Two hillbillies walk into a bar. While having a shot of
whisky, they talk about their moonshine operation.

Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a
sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes
apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at
her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'

The woman shakes her head no.

Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'

The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.

The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her
dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a
lick with his tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent
spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to
breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back t o the bar.

His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there
'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

What a team.
Many thanks for the almost immediate response from so many good people.

The crux of the question was that I had never heard of a #10 size in machine
screws - only ever in wood screws. With advice and guidance from so many of
you I've managed to get a clear understanding of what this is all about.
Stateside it seems to be well understood that below 1/4", sizes went to
numbering.  Here in the UK I hadn't come across it. Possibly because the
engineering industry, when we still had one, tended to use BA sizes when
they got below 1/4".

The next challenge of course was to find a supplier. Engineering suppliers
here have been almost completeley taken over by the metric system. Getting
hold of M5 pozidrive screws is easy!! 
#10 Philips was challenging!!.

Found what I need though with the power of the Internet. I am buying
everything I need in Stainless Steel from http://www.pts-uk.com at a
fraction of the cost of zinc plated screws from the usual suspects.

Thanks again for the guidance and advice.

Peter,
I was there and wondered why people were bidding so high on them.  They 
were described as barn find condition, but all but perhaps one were in 
junkyard condition.  Total rust buckets. Most of the other cars were in 
similar condition, except for the Mini Moke (almost running cond.), MG 
TD (barn find cond.) and perhaps a couple of others.  A friend of mine 
who restores British cars saw the MGB after the fact when it was 
elevated on a rollback and described it as the rustiest MGB he's ever 
seen.  One of the Minis appeared to be broken in half.  The star of the 
auction was the '39 Ford woody wagon which could probably be called barn 
find cond., though a bunch of termites lived in the barn.  The wood 
would need to be totally replaced.  The bidding for that car was between 
two phone bidders who maybe had never seen the car (that or they were 
nuts).  I suspect when phone or internet bidders arrived to pick up 
their prizes, they were a bit peeved.
Nevertheless, it was an interesting auction to attend and there were 
hundreds of  lots of parts.  Unfortunately the parts were all mixed up.  
If you bought a one of the lots you usually got British, European, and 
American stuff with it.

Well, being the smart computer guru that I am, I got cocky and in an attempt
to show how smart I am, I crashed so bad that I lost all of my history -
financial, web sites, emails for the past five years.

 

Benefits of this are:

 

1.	I bought a new computer.
2.	I am now more careful in backing up everything using two external
drives with two different backup programs.
3.	I can now really see what is wrong with the www.healey6.com
<http://www.healey6.com/>  web site since the new computer has the Vista/IE7
combination on it and I will be fixing it in the next two to three weeks.
Unfortumnately, this means a complete rekeying of all of the data, words,
etc. on the site. Thank God my wife goes to bed early.

 

If anyone is waiting for a response from me, please resubmit the
question/request. One of these days I will take my own advice but at my age,
I doubt if I will. As we get older we get more stubborn.

 

Being without my own computer for the past three weeks dependant upon others
has been a real drag.

I'm rebuilding my front suspension for the first time, so I'm taking 
it slowly and carefully.
I've got the front stub axle and king pin assembly on the bench, and 
after removing the castelleted nut, would like to pull off the upper 
trunnion. I suspect this may be a case of the manual making light of 
a task which may be complicated by the effects of age.......as in; 
"withdraw  fulcrum pins" on the lower "A arms!

Anyway, should I expect this to be a stubborn part to remove, and 
does anyone have any tricks?
I always get there in the end, but the list has provided some great 
short cuts in the past.

Stephen,  Yes you should expect it to be stubborn.  First you must remove the
upper fulcrum pin because it passes through a grove in the swivel pin (king
pin) keeping the upper trunion from coming off inadvertently.  Look closely at
my picture and you can see it.  Then you can spray penetrating oil on it, wait
a while for it to work, and place the trunion in a vice with wood on each side
to protect the upper fulcrum pin hole.  I assume that you will be replacing
the king pins so you can turn the castle nut upside down to tap on it to break
it loose from the trunion while in the vice.  Using heat on the trunion would
probably help with freeing it up also with gentle tapping on the trunion or
the other end of the king pin as you turn the king pin back and forth.  Try
not to hit it very hard as you don't want to distort its shape.  I tried lots
of things but I used a gear puller with good results on one side.  The problem
with that technique is that there is not much lip on the trunion to get the
arms to hold on to.  I tried putting a rod through the trunion's fulcrum pin
hole and twisting it but that distorted the opening so I just got heavy with a
hammer and rod to get it off.  One side came off without much of a fight, the
other side I ruined.  The trunions can be found new or used from BCS and
others on the list.  If you get to the point where you may need one contact me
and I'll see what I can do.  I don't know of any short cut here, but I have
only done it once. Ain't it great!! George Haywood'65 bj8> Date: Fri, 25 Jan

Subject: [Healeys] windshield source for bj8
Message-ID: <BAY108-W12E0C0BBE9CF304E922C6CC83A0@phx.gbl>

Hello again,

I am having issues with my new windshield.  It was purchased from one of our
many suppliers in the US and after 3 attempts at installing it without success
it has come to my attention by way of a very reputable Healey expert that the
windshield is too narrow (left to right) to fit into the frame.  No matter how
I tried the seal would not stay on the glass after being installed on the car.
The lower right corner would expose itself each time.  It just ain't wide
enough!!

Does anyone know of a quality windshield supplier in the US?  With all the
bj8's that have been restored there must be a source for a properly designed
windshield glass.  Before I plop out more money I want to have a pretty good
idea regarding the quality the product.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I have a BJ8 that I just got back from paint (3 weeks). I have owned the car
for 7 years and never had an issue with the overdrive. Now, after picking it
up, the OD doesn't work. I noticed the OD switch was "on" when I picked it up
but didn't think anything about it. On the way home, nothing...no OD.
I took the tunnel off and the solenoid clicks when I am in 3rd gear so I know
it is not an electrical issue. Any suggestions? A friend said the plunger
needs to be moved up and down since he thinks overall, the OD is
"bulletproof".  I change the tranny oil annually and just did it 2 months ago.
If I need to move the plunger back and forth, is there an easy way to do it?

Thanks,

FW: The Vow of CelebracyThe Pope dies and, naturally, goes to heaven where
he's met by a reception committee of angels. After a whirlwind tour, The Pope
is told that he can enjoy any of the myriad recreations available.

He decides that he wants to read all of the ancient original text of the Holy
Scriptures, so he spends the next eon or so learning the languages.

After becoming a linguistic master, he sits down in the library and begins to
pour over every version of the Bible, working back from the most recent "Easy
Reading" to the original handwritten script.

The angel librarian hears a loud scream, and goes running toward its source
only to find the Pope huddled in a chair, shaking and crying.

"The R! They left out the R!"

"What do you mean?" the angel librarian asks.

After collecting his wits, the Pope sobs again, "The word was supposed to be
CELEBRATE!"

Subject: [Healeys] Rear axle oil seals
Message-ID: <00b301c85fdf$a7b8c8f0$9101a8c0@home>

Inspecting my rear brakes during the annual maintenance, at first all seemed 
OK.  But tonight I discovered a puddle of gear oil under the right rear hub. 
I can clearly see that oil is leaking out between the hub and the driving 
flange of the axle half shaft, and dripping off the stud.  I removed the 
retaining screw, and wiggling the driving flange expresses more oil from 
between it and the hub face.  There is no evidence of any oil leaking around 
the back side of the hub around the rear axle casing.  So, having never torn 
into an axle before, I have some pretty basic questions:

1.  Does this indicate that the oil seal has failed, as I'm assuming?  Or is 
it possible that the joint washer between hub and the driving flange just 
needs replacing?

2.  From reading the shop manual, it looks like I will need to pull the hub 
and bearing to get to the oil seal.  I can see I'll need to rent a puller 
for this.  Any tips/suggestions on this process?  It's also a bit of a 
mystery to me how the bearings stay lubricated, with the oil seal inboad of 
them.

3.  The manual's directions for refitting of the oil seal, bearing and hub 
are not terribly detailed, and I don't get how to actually measure that the 
bearing spacer is protruding .001-.004 inch beyond the outer face of the hub 
and paper washer.  Can you check this with a feeler gauge?  What about the 
tubular drift to drive the hub back on?

4.  The Moss catelogue shows an O-ring and an oil seal, while the service 
manual shows only the seal. ???

5.  Finally, after studying the exploded views of both the shop manual and 
the Moss catelogue, and evidencing my lack of experience with tearing apart 
an axle, I'm having trouble visualizing how the hub is actually mounted.  If 
you can pull the axle shaft out without removing the hub, what does the hub 
locknut thread onto?  It seems like it would have to mounted to axle 
somehow.

Thanks in advance for advice.

I have just rebuilt my rear axle, and there are pictures of all the bits and
it being assembled, the link is from john sims website.
Basically the end of the axle tube has the inner hub (which has the 5 wheel
studs pressed into it and inside an oil seal ntk 1929 and the wheel bearing
which is a 4209atn9). The hub bearing inner race rides on the axle tube and is
locked in place by a lock washer and large 8 sided 2. 13/64 very thin nut (do
not use a drift or chisel to undo it as the po may of, these nuts are also
handed for each side of the axle).. The half shaft then slides inside the axle
tube and has a spacer that has an o ring sitting on the outside which fits in
the recess of the hub and halfshaft with the gasket. Note the oil seal sits
with the metal part or shoulder to the bottom of the hub recess. So with the
bearing in the hub and the spacer sitting on the top  and the gasket on the
outside you measure by putting a straight edge across the spacer it should be
the 0.004 proud of the gasket. To get this I cut some shim steal and placed it
between the bearing and inside of the hub, I also locked the bearing into the
hub with bearing sealer. Use a gasket sealer on both sides of the gasket.
There are two screws holding the halfshaft to the hub but dont apply the
greatest pressure to keep the seal, the brake drum ( one screw)and wire wheel
hub extension then go on, the 5 wheel nuts actually applying more pressure and
squeezing it all together.
The hard parts are cutting a peice of nylon or correct diameter plastic tube
to drive the oil seal into the hub, making or buying the large socket needed
for the axle nut, and firstly removing the 5 wheels studs if they have rounded
shoulders (replace with new). The easy way to pull the hub from the axle is to
remove the halfshaft and turn it backwards fitting it onto the hub studs and
tighten with nuts, the flat end of the halfshaft with sit on the end of the
axle and when you tighten the nuts pulls the hub of the shaft.

I tried putting an old nut back on the end above the trunnion and hammering
the hell out of it with no joy, I ended up taking it to work and getting the
welder to heat the trunnion while i again walloped the shaft before we got it
off, the only advice i can also give is that you will probably end up getting
new kingpins anyway so the only part you will keep is the hub and upper
trunnion, my photo album is linked from John Sims website showing much of
this

Subject: [Healeys] Rear axle oil seal
Message-ID: <479B69EE.40701@comcast.net>

Working from memory here (I've pulled these a couple times):

<snip>

1.  Does this indicate that the oil seal has failed, ...

Like Bill said, you've probably damaged the paper gasket and/or O-ring.


2.  From reading the shop manual, it looks like I will need to pull the hub 
and bearing ...

The bearing is an interference fit to the axle and to the inner part of the 
hub.  You can actually--carefully--knock the hub and bearing off from the 
backside after removing the large, eight-sided nut and lock plate.  Be 
careful--bearings are expensive and you should be able to re-use yours 
(check for fretting or heat stains).  If not, you'll need a press to remove
and replace the bearing.  It's "splash" lubricated by the differential oil.

Doubt the seal is your problem, but replace on principal when you put it 
all back together.


3.  ... I don't get how to actually measure that the 
bearing spacer is protruding .001-.004 inch beyond the outer face of the hub 
and paper washer.  ...

When you replace the hub--I bought a properly sized heavy steel tube from a 
metal supply to use as a drift against the inner bearing race--the bearing 
should bottom out with just a bit of the axle shaft standing proud from the
spacer (enough to just catch your fingernail).  It just needs to protrude enough 
to give a little clearance for the paper gasket to fit, but not be loose.


4.  The Moss catelogue shows an O-ring and an oil seal, ...

Use new O-rings and paper gaskets (there is a groove for the O-ring). Some 
people use RTV or similar instead of the paper gasket.  I like to coat paper 
gaskets with a thin coat of Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket.


5.  ... I'm having trouble visualizing how the hub is actually mounted.  If 
you can pull the axle shaft out without removing the hub, what does the hub 
locknut thread onto?  ...

The large, eight-sided locknut screws to the end of the axle housing--which
is threaded--and holds the inner bearing race.  It's locked with a locking 
tab washer.  You should get the special socket for this--they're about 
$50--but I confess to having knocked them off with hammer and chisel.

The hub is an interference fit to the bearing--hence the seal 
on the backside--and the whole thing is held together with the wheel hub 
mounting studs.  This is known--I believe--as a "three-quarter floating" 
axle and is a good design because if the axle shaft breaks the hub still 
holds the wheel on.

This is very common and really of no great concern. If you put the brake drum and retaining nuts back on the o-ring joint will close back up and you shouldn't have a leak. I'm assuming the drum is off when you noticed the leak. You can test this by putting a spacer and nut over a wheel stud opposite the small countersunk axle securing screw and tightening,

Inspecting my rear brakes during the annual maintenance, at first all seemed 
OK.  But tonight I discovered a puddle of gear oil under the right rear hub. 
I can clearly see that oil is leaking out between the hub and the driving 
flange of the axle half shaft, and dripping off the stud.  I removed the 
retaining screw, and wiggling the driving flange expresses more oil from 
between it and the hub face.  There is no evidence of any oil leaking around 
the back side of the hub around the rear axle casing.  So, having never torn 
into an axle before, I have some pretty basic questions: 

1.  Does this indicate that the oil seal has failed, as I'm assuming?  Or is 
it possible that the joint washer between hub and the driving flange just 
needs replacing? 

2.  From reading the shop manual, it looks like I will need to pull the hub 
and bearing to get to the oil seal.  I can see I'll need to rent a puller 
for this.  Any tips/suggestions on this process?  It's also a bit of a 
mystery to me how the bearings stay lubricated, with the oil seal inboad of 
them. 

3.  The manual's directions for refitting of the oil seal, bearing and hub 
are not terribly detailed, and I don't get how to actually measure that the 
bearing spacer is protruding .001-.004 inch beyond the outer face of the hub 
and paper washer.  Can you check this with a feeler gauge?  What about the 
tubular drift to drive the hub back on? 

4.  The Moss catelogue shows an O-ring and an oil seal, while the service 
manual shows only the seal. ??? 

5.  Finally, after studying the exploded views of both the shop manual and 
the Moss catelogue, and evidencing my lack of experience with tearing apart 
an axle, I'm having trouble visualizing how the hub is actually mounted.  If 
you can pull the axle shaft out without removing the hub, what does the hub 
locknut thread onto?  It seems like it would have to mounted to axle 
somehow. 

Thanks in advance for advice.

I purchased carpet for my BJ8 from Victoria British. Has anyone used them? How
is the quality and fit compared to Moss? I haven't seen it yet, but curious if
I should consider sending it back. I know Heritage has a great reputation but
how much more are they for standard black?

Also bought Furflex for the doors and it looks a lot smaller than what I have
now. The rubber portion is much smaller in diameter. Is that standard compared
to what Moss sells or what is available?

Also, I know Dynamat is good for insulation and heat dissipation....Home Depot
has a product used in attics. Will that work or is there another alternative
to Dynamat? Where can you get any of it reasonably priced?

I'm planning on installing a new top next week and only recently 
figured out that I was missing a part.  The U-shaped "rear retaining 
bow"  that attaches to the rear frame bow was not on my top when I took 
it apart.

Can anyone help me with answers to a few questions, and ideally a 
couple of pictures?

It appears the purpose of the U-shaped retaining bow that fits onto the 
rear top bow is to cover and secure the lifting  strip that's part of 
the top itself.  But I don't understand how the webbing is finished 
under or around the top bow.

The Moss installation tape says the the retaining bow is screwed to the 
rear frame bow, but they offer pop rivets for this attachment.  The two 
cars I've been able to look at both had rivets holding the U-shaped bow 
in place.
Which is correct?

What is the function of the 2 small web retaining clips on the third 
top bow?

I know there is a picture of the BJ8 top frame on page 175 of the 
Anderson and Moment restoration guide, but in my book at least, the 
detail is too light to see what's going on.

Many thanks for any advice.

Hi Charlie, The webbing crosses over on top of all the top bows.  It first
attaches to the rear bow (the one with the extra metal strip) from the
underside and wraps around the back, up, and then forward to the next bow
where it then doubles on itself and is slipped in between  that clips you are
asking about and the back of the bow.  It then just lies on top of the next
forward bow and is wrapped around to the front of the big wooden header where
it is finally tacked.  It is suppose to be pulled just so it doesn't sag, but
not very tight.  Make sure it will be directly under the two seams that go
along the top for and aft.  I have a couple of pictures that may help make it
more clear.  You are asking about a U-shaped bow.  If you are talking about
the one on third bow back you could probably find one at British Car
Specialists, or Bob Yule, or some other supplier that has used parts.  By the
way, that piece screws to the bow on my car.  If you are talking about the
large U-shaped piece that secures the rear of the top to the cockpit drain
channel you may not have so easy a time getting one, although Kilmartin may
make it and it too could be ordered from BCS. Hope this helps, George

Listers,

Another Healey in a movie is a 3000 MkII roadster in the 1963 'Murder at 
the Gallop', an Agatha Christie Miss Marple movie.  Hard for me to tell 
what the paint colors are (two tone) as the movie is in black and white. 
The license plate number is '616 FOC'.

The interior shots show that the car has a lined soft top.  The rails 
aren't visible.  Was this a factory option or aftermarket?

Mike,

The problem sounds like a pressure problem.  Not
enough pressure being developed to engage the
overdrive.  But before you begin, make sure that valve
setting lever moves so that the hole in the lever
lines up with the hole in the overdrive case.  See the
shop manual in the overdrive section. If this test is
met the operating valve ball should be raised from its
resting place by 3/64 of an inch.  If it does not then
adjust the valve setting lever so that the ball does
rise up 3/64 of an inch.   For more information check
out the web site: 

http://www.team.net/www/healey/tech/big_hly/od/delborder_od.html

This site along with the shop book gives about all
that you need to deal with the OD unit.  The only
thing not addressed is the o-rings on the accumulator
housing.  These cost less than $2.

Happy Healeying,

Mike  -

Before going any further double check the solenoid and make sure that when
the switch clicks, that the solenoid is activating to the correct length.
That's usually the problem with what you describe.  You can try activating
the lever manually as you drive down the road (beware of your pant leg and
the prop shaft!) and see if it kicks in.

Hi All

We're doing a bit of research on the grease guns and adjustable wrenches
that were supplied with the BN1 tool kits and would like to hear from any
BN1 owner who has either of these tools that came with their car originally.
Note: a number of tool kits have been built up in the past several years
using the information provided in the Concours Guidelines so if your not
certain that your items were original to your Healey, let us know.

When was your car built? If you don't have the build date the body number is
the best indicator of the approximate build time frame.

Do you have the Nubrex or Tecalemit unit?

If the Tecalemit gun, what are its dimensions, i.e. the length and more
importantly the diameter of the body?

Do you have the original grease gun adapter?

Is your adjustable wrench the 7 inch "F" style or the smaller 4 1/4 inch
long style?

Thanks

This is my very first Healey, so. I have to say I do not really know what I
bought. 

I would be grateful for any comments regarding originality and issues with
the car.

The car starts pretty well, brakes and turns fine.

I have noticed few issues:
- the reverse jumps out of gear
- when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd it seems the synchronization is weak, an
I should use the gas pedal to accelerate the engine.
- there are leaks from rear shocks
- there seems to be an oil leak from the engine - either from the valve
cover or from the head.
- the carpets do not fit.. at all..
- the armacord mats are missing from almost everywhere...
- the underside is sprayed with some black stuff which looks horrible.. but
may be good for the car.

Otherwise the car seems to be pretty rust free, the panels sound good (no
huge amounts of bondo..)


Please let me know what you think..

As Alan has stated " You can try activating the lever manually as you
drive down the road (beware of your pant leg and the prop shaft!)and see
if it kicks in."  Note that the hole alignment as described in the
manual is a starting point for adjustment, after 40 years mine had to be
adjusted past that hole and the only way I knew for sure that the
overdrive did work was by doing what Alan suggests.

Joe,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I didn't see an article by Rich C on tops, though there is one by him
on interior installation.
There is a set of instructions about tops with some helpful
information, but it's a scan from an old box and doesn't address my
concerns.
I appreciate your reply anyway.
Thanks for taking the time.
Charlie

You are a brave man. With all the horror stories about buying and shipping cars 
overseas, it looks good to me. I would sell my soul if my '56 looked as good. 
(I'm sure it can, with a truckload of money.)

My 2 cents:

Jumping out of gear, synchros -- Gearbox may be original and not rebuilt. Hey, 
it works. :)

The black coating looks to be underseal, which is supposed to protect the frame 
and panels from rusting.

Carpets -- I haven't heard anyone on the list say the bought good reproduction 
carpets. At least they are new.

Armacord mats -- these will be tough to find.

Yes, it has some oil leaks. No big deal. (Don't all British cars and bikes leak 
oil?)

Unless the car was sold to me as a 100-point concours restoration, I'd be very 
pleased with it's condition.

Congratulations. May you enjoy many miles/kilometers together.

Curt--
 
My car (#222333, built December, 1954) came to me with virtually a full  
tookit.  I think the only parts missing were the washer for the wheel  puller and 
Lucas tool. I know the grease gun is a Tecalamit and yes I have  the adapter.  
I'll try to remember to take measurements and get info manana  when I am over 
at my shop.
 
BTW the original toolbags (all of them--the toolroll itself, the jack bag  
and the bag for the jack handle) were in a BLUE--not black--oilcloth  material.  
They were pretty badly deteriorated and useless to me but I sent  them to 
Roger Moment several years ago as he expressed an interest in seeing  them, so 
check with him on that.

Hi Tadek,

All in all, a pretty nice BN2.  It looks like it's undergone at least a 
partial restoration
at some point.  I noticed:

- the problem with undercoating is you don't know the condition of the 
metal underneath.
  The undercoating may have preserved the metal, or trapped water and 
salt and made
  things worse.  Hard to tell, but yours looks OK.

- of course, the engine color is not original since the engine has 
certainly been rebuilt
  at least once

- it looks like the main front crossmember--under the radiator--has been 
replaced or
  buttressed with some additional metal

- the rear doglegs--in front of the rear wheels--have a little 
"spur"--this is common where
  they have been replaced (the bottom line should curve slightly and 
gracefully up at the rear)

If it runs good, you might want to just tend to the mechanical issues 
(gearbox, shocks, etc.)
and drive the heck out of it ;)

Comments:
1) Perry is probably right. If you had a real leak, there'd be oil all over
the brake shoes etc.
2) If the seal is indeed shot, make sure the bearing's OK. These bearings
are huge and very rugged. Sometimes a seal goes out because the bearing's
bad and there's oscillation.
3) PVC pipe fittings come in lotsa sizes and are very accurately made and
cheap. I've had good luck finding ones the right size to use for seal
drivers.
4) never had any trouble with leakage with combo of paper gasket, o-ring and
hylomar.

Tadek -


- the reverse jumps out of gear

It is likely that the cover of the gearbox has been removed in the past and
there are three little balls and springs in the casing that can pop out.
these little balls and springs are very important because they slot in the
selector shafts and keep the gears from popping out.  It is very common for
mechanics and un-knowledgable owners to take the gearbox cover off and lose
these balls and springs.  Replace them, they are very easy to get from Moss
or SC parts.


- when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd it seems the synchronization is weak, an
I should use the gas pedal to accelerate the engine.

There isn't much you can do about this, the gearbox is not really designed
for downshifting.  Most healey people I know do not downshift.  I would
recommend that you don't do it either - it is cheaper & easier to replace
your brake pads than to replace your gearbox - use your brakes for braking,
not the gearbox.


- there are leaks from rear shocks

Send them to Peter at Worldwide : http://www.nosimport.com/ .  He's the best
in the world at rebuilding these and his prices are very fair.


- there seems to be an oil leak from the engine - either from the valve
cover or from the head.

I looked at your pictures and the leak you have is from the head gasket.
This is very common in the 100 motor and usually can be fixed if you
retorque the head.  The 100 head is not optimally designed in this area and
requires retorquing to fix the leak.


- the carpets do not fit.. at all..

They never do.  No carpet set ever fits in any healey.  You are much better
taking rolls of carpet to a trimmer and having him fit them into your car.


- the armacord mats are missing from almost everywhere...

This is also very common.  Armocord with regular use only lasts 10 to 15
years so it's usually missing in older cars.  Just order a new set.
Interestingly armacord sets seem to fit much better than the carpet sets,
I'm not sure why.  They usually just need some trimming.


- the underside is sprayed with some black stuff which looks horrible.. but
may be good for the car.


That is undercoating.  Not the best thing to put on your car, as it can draw
in moisture and cause rust over time.  I'd put some waxoyl on there and that
should help.


I also notice that your car has a non original front box member on the
Chassis.  That is fine to leave it there, as it provides protection when
jacking the car up.

Other small things to fix :

1) Brake drums should be silver, not red.
2) Engine should be green

Your car looks great!

When I saw how much they want for taps and dies......well I remembered "British Tools & Fasteners".  I hadn't ordered from them for several years but they are still out there taking care of us British car afflicted folks.  They have a great selection of tools and fasteners for British cars, motorcycles, bicycles and even "Sea Gull' out board motors.  Their little catalog has useful tap and drill charts for every weird  British thread  you ever thought of.  You can call them on the phone and talk with  a knowledgeable  guy happy to answer your questions.  No connection, just a happy customer who thought you listers might  find these guys useful.

Message-ID: <0B88281C9591904D9B35C6EB66E8A80D44BFE2@SACMX1.aerojet.gencorp.local>

I have been painting my engine bay with a Preval sprayer. It has a spray
head, a cartridge of propellant, and a glass jar for the paint.
I seem to be getting a lot of orange peel and an excess amount near
places that once saw brake fluid, like around the master cylinders. I
have used primer and I have thinned the paint plenty per instructions. I
am now on my third go round with sanding smooth and trying again.
I used to get good results with a Preval when they used CFC's. Now the
box says isobutanes. Is that the problem or still my technique?
The paint store offered to put the paint in aerosol cans for $5 which is
more than the Preval.
Thanks,

Ken,

Seems to me that your getting what is called fish eye,  youve got 
contaminates in the sheetmetal or paint  which cause the paint to move away 
or not adhere like a drop of oil and water.
If your only getting this in areas where brake fluid was leaking and the 
rest of the engine bay is laying down fine thats your problem, get down to 
last layer that wasnt affected or bare metal and clean and sand real good 
with a wax and grease remover such as PPG DX 330 or equivalent.I like to use 
PPG DP epoxy as my primer .

If they ranked it by the amount of oil they leak, I'm sure the BJ7 would be
top of the list.

I understand that silicon is very bad for this, so if synthetic brake fluid 
was used that probably exacerbates the problem. I think there are special 
materials for removing traces of silicon.

Ken, have you prepped the area with a solvent to remove any residual oil or

Norm,
       I don't think Dave meant to Alarm anyone just to inform that this 
problem seems to have hit home to someone that is so close and important to 
the Healey  business.    Glad to hear it has not affected you and your 
family.  I think it was the maps that they showed of entire subdivisions 
that had multiple foreclosures that caught my attention the most.   Not to 
mention the forclosure "bus tours" that someone thought up to show some of 
these beautiful homes that people just walked away from because of the 
subprime mortgage crap.
      This really seems to be more of a territorial problem in the country, 
not a complete flushing of the US.   The housing in my IN. area is good, 
houses are still being built and sold.   Just goes to show ya that if you 
don't like what you hear on one news channel ,  change the station,  its 
bound to be a different point of view.
     Its too bad "Doom and Gloom" is what sells in this country and catches 
peoples attention the most.  Lets hope things get back to the positive soon.

Mark

Bill,
I think you are exactly right. Left over silicone brake fluid is still
present. I haven't used the stuff in 15 or 20 years. But I did remove
the brake lines for the engine bay paint, so there could have been some
drops.
I did not use a normal PrepSol type of cleaner. I used Simple Green,
Acetone, and TSP.
 The brake fluid cannister bracket is particularly bad with fish eye and
on that I wire brushed to bare metal then Eastwood red primer.

Thanks,
Ken Freese

I have used silicone fluid for 15 years, so have had ample opportunity to get it onto surfaces where it shouldn't be.  When I painted my engine bay, I had a hell of a time getting rid of the fisheyes.  Even after stripping some areas to bare metal, then sanding/cleaning with every solvent known to man/metal prepping multiple times, I still got some degree of fisheyes.  
Silicone fluid is great and I wouldn't go back to DOT3/4, but it's really persistent on surfaces and a pain when it comes time to paint again.

I have just checked with my son who works for an automotive paint supplier. 
I am not an expert in this matter but I have, in the (distant) past, used a 
fisheye additative when painting.  If I am reading my scribbled notes 
correctly, his basic information is:  if using a base coat, put on several 
very light coats with a very long flash time.  There is an additive for the 
clear if you are using it.  Additives are available for uncatalized 'old 
school' paints but not for today's catalized paints.  His most important 
recommendation - be patient.

Due to economic pressure I must sell my 1954 A-H BN1, chassis #157289, motor #1B219076M (org. motor 1B213946), Car #BN1L 157289, Overdrive 28/1292/2986, Body 4781, Batch 3859.
 
The car runs and drives great, but does need interior and paint job.  The only thing that does not work is the windshield wiper motor. (I don't drive in the rain.)  It does have new 72 spoke wheels and hubs, wiring harness plus many other items.  Including an original Motorola AM radio.
 
I could go on.  If there is any interest please contact me off list and I can send pictures and answer any questions.
 
Thanks in advance for your help and I really hope I can find the car a good home.

Ironically I sent Tadeusz a detailed photo by photo response regarding his 
car, but of course it was way too large to post on this list. It probably 
could have been very educational for a lot of folks. No I won't copy it to 
individuals, or I won't get anything else done for the next week or so!

Both are 1 3/4" throats but the HD series has the totally enclosed lower jet 
and gland, with 4 screws securing the float chamber assembly to the base of 
the main carb body. The HS series has the external lower jet assembly 
exposed, and an external tube running from the base of the float chamber 
into the jet.

In Austin Healey applications, the HD6 was installed in later 100/Six's and 
early 3000's while the HS6 was installed into the BJ7.

I went to the newsagent yesterday for my weekly fix and was surprised to see 
two list members and their recent Targa experience covered in an Australian 
magazine devoted to Minis ( BMC type) There was a photo of Michael Salter's 
Healey and a brief mention of his exploits with navigator Michael Oritt. It 
seems their team included an Australian connection.

HD6 uses the diaphram jet and the HS6 uses the later style external
flexible jet.  All in all the HD carbs are much easier and much better
to maintain.  The HS carbs are simpler and a little less prone to
leaking because the jet is more robust in design.  That said adjusting
them is best left to Chinese waif contortionists on tour with Cirque
du Soleil.  Given the choice I'd go for HD every time.

Hello Joe

I have read the book titled "McQueen's Machines" and there is no mention
of an Austin-Healey 100. Either the Octane writer dreamt it up or it
didn't rate a mention in the book.

Why haven't you returned my calls?

Ahhhhh,   I think I know this one........The D  and the  S.






But seriously folks.    The D type have a rubber diaphragm on the jet,
and the S does not use one.    Personally I prefer the HS cause the 
diaphrams tend to get brittle , crack, leak on the D type.   I had a new set 
dry up from just sitting for 2 years undisturbed, on my Healey.  Glad I 
decided to tear the carbs down again for inspection.

The HS seem to be pretty bullet proof and a bit easier to adjust,  for me 
anyway.

Why not share the concourse wealth and establish a website--or a link to an

Michael Salter is a Kiwi in Canada, so that's the connection, although
if I recall my US public education geography (definitely not the same
as UK 'public' education!), the border between Australia and New
Zealand is pretty long and sparsely habited by evil gnomes.

Who has been to all three "islands", although I believe one is

David,

This is the car history I recovered so far..

Owner 1 (1956-1966): Al Genero, NJ

Owner 2 (1966-1987): Ray Teets, Lebanon, NJ mechanic, owner of 'Teets
Garage' did a lot of restoration work on the car. Never really drove it...

Owner 3 (1987-2007): Mike Teets, Hobe Sound, FL - son of Ray

Owner 4 (2007-2007): Jon Signor, Marlborough, CT - owned it for 3 months,
did not drive it nor register it...

Anyone knows any of them???..





Thnaks, Tadek

Ah! this brings back memories.
As a Canadian transplant from Barrie, Ont. to San
Jose, California, I don't get to cruise in the snow
much anymore.
I was on a business trip in Kista, Sweden some years
ago when a very kind local Healey Club member
by the name of Magnus Melin came over in his Healey
an picked me up at my hotel.  He'd brought a big
bomber jacket and a leather cap and goggles.  It was
winter.  We looked like a bunch of WWII kite flyers
cruising
with the top down in the snow.  At one point he even
jumped out at a light to put some wood baffles in front
of the radiator to help keep the engine temp up.

Tadek, again, don't be concerned. There was another person a year or so ago
who bombarded the list with questions all of which were cheerfully answered.
The end result was that he was able to restore his car with the knowledge
that several experts around the world had helped him.

No matter how crazy you think your question may be, we ALL learn from the

Mike  -

Before going any further double check the solenoid and make sure that when
the switch clicks, that the solenoid is activating to the correct length.
That's usually the problem with what you describe.  You can try activating
the lever manually as you drive down the road (beware of your pant leg and
the prop shaft!) and see if it kicks in.

I have just checked with my son who works for an automotive paint supplier. 
I am not an expert in this matter but I have, in the (distant) past, used a 
fisheye additative when painting.  If I am reading my scribbled notes 
correctly, his basic information is:  if using a base coat, put on several 
very light coats with a very long flash time.  There is an additive for the 
clear if you are using it.  Additives are available for uncatalized 'old 
school' paints but not for today's catalized paints.  His most important 
recommendation - be patient.

G'day

I have to throw my two bobs worth into this.

Although in a way I think it's a pity. Perhaps a few minutes looking at
an atlas will assist as you will see that there is rather a large body
of water between Australia and New Zealand called the Tasman Sea. Just a
couple of weeks ago two blokes finished kayaking from Australia to NZ
taking over 2 months to do the feat.

Now move your eyes a little bit to the left of the Tasman and down the
page - that's south by the way for those who don't know which way is up.
There you will see another island by the name of Tasmania, which happens
to be a state of Australia. Of course the "map tragics" amongst you will
see that surrounding the coast of Australia there are many islands.

However the view of the world exhibited by some friends from the US (the
mainland of which is actually smaller than Australia) is disappointing
and reminds me of a cartoon or drawing I once saw in New Yorker magazine
back in the 1970s and in some ways it hasn't changed. This is despite my
friend Joe and I visiting your good selves and trying to educate you.

It was a scene looking down over the magnificent skyline of New York
showing the buildings with the Hudson River directly behind. Then it
showed an unknown land stretching to a far away coast, and in between
was a large signpost that said "MAINLY UNEXPLORED TERRITORY". Then there
was a mass of blue with King Neptune next to the words Pacific Ocean.

Hopefully the views of most of us have changed over the years.

Hi Patrick,
               we've got some pretty p..s poor kayakers over here too.
               I've got a very old atlas with Oz in outline and on it is 
written HERE BE  DRAGONS
                                                    Regards
                                                               Barrie from

Any of you see the video clip of the Aussie reporter
who came to the USA and interviewed the average Joe
on the street asking "Which country do you thing the
US should invade next?"  He got a lot of interesting
responses, but the funny part was his assistant would
quickly paste the name of the chosen country on a
world map on top of Australia and then the reporter
would ask if they could show him where that country
is on the map. One person after another would just
blindly point to Australia! I was pissing myself
laughing.

My favorite was the 60+ year old southern guy who
responded "We should just nuke the entire Middle East
and turn it into *^%$#( glass!"  Guess where he
thought the Middle East was?

Hope Bush didn't see it or the Aussies might end up
the next big glass producing nation. :-)

We have to be one of the most geographically
illiterate countries on the planet.

Happy Healying,

Derek

 G'day

I have to throw my two bobs worth into this.

Although in a way I think it's a pity. Perhaps a few
minutes looking at
an atlas will assist as you will see that there is
rather a large body
of water between Australia and New Zealand called the
Tasman Sea. Just a
couple of weeks ago two blokes finished kayaking from
Australia to NZ
taking over 2 months to do the feat.

Now move your eyes a little bit to the left of the
Tasman and down the
page - that's south by the way for those who don't
know which way is up.
There you will see another island by the name of
Tasmania, which happens
to be a state of Australia. Of course the "map
tragics" amongst you will
see that surrounding the coast of Australia there are
many islands.

However the view of the world exhibited by some
friends from the US (the
mainland of which is actually smaller than Australia)
is disappointing
and reminds me of a cartoon or drawing I once saw in
New Yorker magazine
back in the 1970s and in some ways it hasn't changed.
This is despite my
friend Joe and I visiting your good selves and trying
to educate you.

It was a scene looking down over the magnificent
skyline of New York
showing the buildings with the Hudson River directly
behind. Then it
showed an unknown land stretching to a far away
coast, and in between
was a large signpost that said "MAINLY UNEXPLORED
TERRITORY". Then there
was a mass of blue with King Neptune next to the
words Pacific Ocean.

Hopefully the views of most of us have changed over
the years.

G'day

Which way is up?

What is up and what is down is historical. The north was populated first
and they drew the first maps and naturally put the north up. Who is to
say that looking at the earth from space that north is up and south is
down?

The Antarctic is a land mass and therefore must be heavier than the ice
in the Artic. Does that mean that the Earth is pulled down by the
Antarctic?

Don't think so!

You can buy maps here that put it all into prospective with the South
Pole in its proper place - on top.

Had my high school teacher tell me the Montreal was
the capital city of Canada!
Oh mon Dieu, the rest of you Canadians are saying. It
was probably a French plot.
She argued with me when I told her it was actually
Ottawa....even after I told 
her I was a Canadian!
Brought in an Atlas the next day and she apologized
and corrected herself.
I still remember having to memorize the capitals of
every US state, Canadian Province,
European and South American country, and a smattering
of Asian capitals as well.

That was elementary school too!

One better. When we moved to New Jersey from California in 1970 my oldest
son told the teacher that the Grand Canyon was formed by erosion and she
gave him a failing grade stating that erosion could not have caused such a
thing. I don't think that she lasted as a teacher. He, as well as his
sister, are teachers now and they are still amazed at what is being taught
or should I say not taught according to the approved curriculum in New York
City -- History, Geography, Social Studies, etc, etc, etc.

Last week I was behind a woman in the left turn lane. The light was green
for us. There was no traffic coming from the opposing direction. She did not
turn left despite my honking the horn. The light then turned red and cross
traffic went through on their green. The light for the cross traffic turned
red, our light turned green now with the green left turn arrow and, guess
what. She then proceeded to turn left. 

Guess she thought that she could only turn left in the left turn lane with a
left turn green arrow. Either our driving instructors are idiots or their
pupils are -- or both.

Prior to this, I was behind another person making a right turn where the
sign said no right turn on red but there was a green right turn arrow. When
I beeped, she lowered her window and pointed at the sign. I yelled at her
that the green arrow meant to turn and she actually said "I don't break the
law" -- and she wasn't even blond. Guess what -- she refused to move until
the lights had cycled and the regular green light came on. 

I mentioned these incidents to a cop who patrols the area and he told me
that DMV in New Jersey does not test for stupidity. The dumbing down of
America is appalling.

I don't know about that Derek, I've never seen the results of a stunt like 
this done anywhere else. Surely there is a lot of ignorance out there, but 
I'm not convinced we have a corner on the market.

On the other hand my grand daughters thought it was hilarious when Homer

Michael twice,

Congrats on your Rally effort and on the HM report - great stuff.  This
is what Healey ownership is all about - takes me back to my college
days in UK with my Mk 1 Sprite. Road events like this are the best form
of Motorsport from the driving perspective in my opinion.  Out here we
have the California Mille every year, which I ran in 1991.

Is there a web site with full set of color pics?

I'm interested to hear about the rear end improvements that you plan
for next year.

Best, Robert, BJ8.

Satisfy your automotive sweet tooth



There are a million ways to get from Point A to Point B, but none more
romantic than the roadster, that ultimate expression of the three's-a-crowd
philosophy. Just in time for Valentine's Day, the Saratoga Automobile Museum
in Saratoga, New York, is presenting "The Romance of the Roadster," a display
of 15 two-seaters that range in age from a 1916 Stanley Steamer 726 to a 1973
Ferrari 365 GTS/4 Daytona Spyder.

The curator for the exhibit is automotive journalist Ken Gross. "Sure, a
two-passenger car is selfish, but it's eternally sexy," he said. "Roadsters
like these help us relive our favorite memories. They complete our
four-wheeled fantasies. They're universally admired, and as investments, they
may just appreciate in value. Let's face it, you can't take a preferred stock
or a bond out for a glorious Sunday drive. That's why we want these cars, and
we always will."

Among the roadsters on display will be a 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport
Zagato, a 1956 Austin-Healey 100M, a 1956 Lancia B24 Aurelia and a 1961
Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Roadster. Forget the Whitman's Sampler this year - this
is a box of confections that's sure to leave a more lasting memory, and
doesn't contain a single calorie. The exhibit runs from February 9 through
June 1, 2008. For more information, and directions to the museum, visit

G'day

I don't know whether criminals would be the best word to use. 

We Australians applaud our larrikins with a great degree of endearment. We
like to wind people up and remark on things with our tongues firmly planted
in our cheeks. Give me a pretentious pompous ass and I'll show you a
thousand funnies.

Life is just too short to be serious.

THE BEST COMEBACK LINE for 2007...


For those that don't know him, Major General Peter Cosgrove is an "Australian
treasure!"
General Cosgrove was interviewed on the radio recently. You'll love his reply
to the lady who
interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about
gun laws
you gotta love this! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is
a portion of an ABC
interview between a female broadcaster and General Cosgrove who was about to
sponsor a
Boy Scout Troop visiting his military headquarters.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
So, General Cosgrove, what things are you going to teach these young boys when
they visit your base?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing, archery and shooting.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching
children?

GENERAL COSGROVE:
I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they
even touch a firearm.

FEMALE INTERVIEWER:
But you're equipping them to become violent killers.

GENERAL COSGROVE:
Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

The newer generation. My daughter has a Masters in Special Education and
teaches proper grammar which she can use when she wants. I have seen her in
class and she properly corrects her students, never making a grammatical
mistake when speaking to them. At home, her grammar is close to breaking
every rule. Here retort is always "I am off duty"

G'day

I don't know if that was Peter Cosgrove as I have heard it being attributed
to others.

However it sounds like something that Peter would have said.

By coincidence I have met Peter Cosgrove a few times. We went to the same
school and he was in the same class as one of my older brothers.

Peter is a consummate after dinner speaker especially when he talking about
what he got up to. Even he is revered by all Australians he has a great
larrikin streak in him. He is also a really nice bloke, like most of us
Australians.

Ed:  That student would do just fine out here in California.  Following are
quoted from the Drivers Handbook:

"Left turn from a two-way street.  Start the turn in the left lane closest
to the middle of the street.  Complete the turn in either lane of the cross
street (shown by the arrows) if safe...".  The diagram shows the car going
into either the left lane or the curb lane.

"Left turn from a two-way street into a one-way street.  Start the turn from
the lane closest to the middle of the street.  Turn into any lane that is
safely open...".

I still have trouble with those rules.  Many times I have come face to face
with an opposing driver trying to make a right turn on red.

The kicker is on a right turn.  "Right turn.  Begin and end the turn in the
lane nearest the right-hand curb."  - -  however, on a right turn from a
one-way street into a one-way street, you can end the turn in any lane and
the diagram shows three lanes as options..

On a slightly different note, our local police have found a gold mine with
people making a right-hand turn on a red arrow.  That is a no-no here. (Turn 
on a red
stop light OK.  Red ARROW, NO turning).    Fine for red light violation is 
$340.  We
have one intersection that has four or five signs approaching and at the 
corner that say,
"NO TURN ON RED".  Like I said, it's a gold mine.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but if you go down to your local
NAPA parts store and get a copy of their "Classic" 2008 calendar, their
May feature is a "1962 Austin Healey 3000 BT-7 Roadster" (September is a
beautiful '55 MGTF).

Folks, as Peter Caldwell (W.W.A.P. & Shox Geru) said (on the midget yahoo

The way I know for positive is that MJB has posed his ?s on the MM Tech List.

Message-ID: <60a801c86474$60f34a00$2c612bd1@iquest.net>

Listers,



I am searching for a period correct British Number Plate for my BN2.



I have one that has been on my BN1 since 1959. It was a gift to my Father from
a British friend.  This Plate can be seen on the January 2007 page of the
Austin-Healey Club of America calendar.



It has three letters followed by three numbers mounted to a 20 = X4 = aluminum
base painted black with a small (3/4 X 1/4) "Ace" tag attached to the upper
left corner.

The 3 = high by 2 = wide silver letters & numbers are riveted to the base.

All dimensions in inches.



Other examples of this style of plate can be found at:

            Austin-Healey BN1/BN2 Sales Brochure

            AH Spares Web Page

            Page 26 photo-Anders Ditlev Clausager---"Original Austin-Healey"

            Page 2 photo---January 2008 issue---Healey Marque



I can send additional photos if you can help locate one of these plates.

It does not have to be perfect-I can restore it.



Also, does anyone know of a Web Site that correlates the plate letter/number's
with geographical region of England?



Thanks,

Craig Rice

Dave -

Yeah, I got that calender.  Unfortunately for November (and possibly March)
they put in some woman in a brown pants suit that looks like Kathy Bates
from the movie Misery (i.e. where she breaks James Caan's ankles with a
sledge hammer).

Not sure who does their marketing but that bloke should be taken out back
and shot. Even the guys behind the counter were laughing about her.
Everyone knows it is Federal Law that car parts calenders must only have
pictures of girls in thong bikinis holding large tools and/or soaping
themselves.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear axle oil seals
In-Reply-To: <00b301c85fdf$a7b8c8f0$9101a8c0@home>
References: <00b301c85fdf$a7b8c8f0$9101a8c0@home>
Message-ID: <479ADF14.8040706@comcast.net>

Working from memory here (I've pulled these a couple times):

<snip>

1.  Does this indicate that the oil seal has failed, as I'm assuming?  Or is 
it possible that the joint washer between hub and the driving flange just 
needs replacing?

Like Bill said, you've probably damaged the paper gasket and/or O-ring.


2.  From reading the shop manual, it looks like I will need to pull the hub 
and bearing to get to the oil seal.  I can see I'll need to rent a puller 
for this.  Any tips/suggestions on this process?  It's also a bit of a 
mystery to me how the bearings stay lubricated, with the oil seal inboad of 
them.

The bearing is an interference fit to the axle and to the inner part of the 
hub.  You can actually--carefully--knock the hub and bearing off from the 
backside after removing the large, eight-sided nut and lock plate.  Be 
careful--bearings are expensive and you should be able to re-use yours 
(check for fretting or heat stains).  If not, you'll need a press to remove
and replace the bearing.

Doubt the seal is your problem, but replace on principal when you put it 
all back together.


3.  The manual's directions for refitting of the oil seal, bearing and hub 
are not terribly detailed, and I don't get how to actually measure that the 
bearing spacer is protruding .001-.004 inch beyond the outer face of the hub 
and paper washer.  Can you check this with a feeler gauge?  What about the 
tubular drift to drive the hub back on?

When you replace the hub--I bought a properly sized heavy steel tube from a 
metal supply to use as a drift against the inner bearing race--the bearing 
should bottom out with just a bit of the axle shaft standing proud from the
spacer (enough to just catch your fingernail).  It just needs to protrude enough 
to give a little clearance for the paper gasket to fit, but not be loose.


4.  The Moss catelogue shows an O-ring and an oil seal, while the service 
manual shows only the seal. ???

Use new O-rings and paper gaskets (there is a groove for the O-ring). Some 
people use RTV or similar instead of the paper gasket.  I like to coat paper 
gaskets with a thin coat of Permatex Aviaton Form-A-Gasket.


5.  Finally, after studying the exploded views of both the shop manual and 
the Moss catalog, and evidencing my lack of experience with tearing apart 
an axle, I'm having trouble visualizing how the hub is actually mounted.  If 
you can pull the axle shaft out without removing the hub, what does the hub 
locknut thread onto?  It seems like it would have to mounted to axle 
somehow.

The large, eight-sided locknut screws to the end of the axle housing--which
is threaded--and holds the inner bearing race.  It's locked with a locking 
tab washer.  The hub is an interference fit to the bearing--hence the seal 
on the backside--and the whole thing is held together with the wheel hub 
mounting studs.  This is known--I believe--as a "three-quarter floating" 
axle and is a good design because if the axle shaft breaks the hub still 
holds the wheel on.

Australian Humor

The questions below about Australia are from potential visitors. They were
posted on an Australian Tourism Website and the answers are the actual
responses by the website officials, who obviously have a sense of humour.


Q: Does it ever get windy in Australia? I have never  seen it rain on TV,
how do the plants grow?  (UK)

A: We import all plants fully grown and then just sit around watching them
die.


Q: Will I be able to see kangaroos in the street?  (USA)

A: Depends how much you've been drinking.


Q: I want to walk from Perth to Sydney - can I follow the railroad tracks?
(Sweden)

A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water.



Q: Is it safe to run around in the bushes in Australia?  (Sweden)

A: So it's true what they say about Swedes.



Q: Are there any ATMs (cash machines) in Australia?  Can you send me a list
of them in Brisbane, Cairns, Townsville and Hervey Bay?  (UK)

A: What did your last slave die of?


Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?  (USA)

A: A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe.
Aus-tra-lia is that big island in the middle of the Pacific which does
not...oh forget it.  Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings
Cross.  Come naked.


Q: Which direction is north in Australia?  (USA)

A: Face south and then turn 180 degrees.  Contact us when you get here and
we'll send the rest of the directions.


Q: Can I bring cutlery into Australia?  (UK)

A: Why? Just use your fingers like we do.



Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule?  (USA)

A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which
is...oh forget it.  Sure, the Vienna Boys Choir plays every Tuesday night in
Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races.  Come naked.



Q: Can I wear high heels in Australia?  (UK)

A: You are a British politician, right?



Q: Are there supermarkets in Sydney and is milk available all year round?
(Germany)

A: No, we are a peaceful civilization of vegan hunter/gatherers. Milk is
illegal.


Q: Please send a list of all doctors in Australia who can dispense
rattlesnake serum.  (USA)

A: Rattlesnakes live in A-meri-ca which is where YOU come from.  All
Australian snakes are perfectly harmless, can be safely handled and make
good pets.



Q: I have a question about a famous animal in Australia, but I forget its
name. It's a kind of bear and lives in trees.  (USA)

A: It's called a Drop Bear.  They are so called because they drop out of Gum
trees and eat the brains of anyone walking underneath them. You can scare
them off by spraying yourself with human urine before you go out walking.



Q: Do you have perfume in Australia?  (France)

A: No, WE don't stink.


Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountainof youth. Can you tell
me where I can sell it in Australia?  (USA)

A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather.



Q: Can you tell me the regions in Tasmania where the female population is
smaller than the male population?  (Italy)

A: Yes, gay nightclubs.



Q: Do you celebrate Christmas in Australia?  (France)

A: Only at Christmas.

Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated
while I was staying in Kings Cross.  Can you help?  (USA)

A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour.



Q: Will I be able to speak English most places I go?  (USA)

A: Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
