[Healeys] Very loud clatter tentative explanation

[Ed's Shop]

<<Will post again if there are any more developments.>>

1st Steve, fine lookin' piece !!!

BUT, I do think you will have "more developments" if you don't replace the Rocker Assembly mounting studs!!!  They ARE too short!!!  For "nuts" of any type they need to have "bite" the FULL length of said fasteners !!
Looks like the studs (er [& yes I KNOW], I AM assuming the pics on the site are of Fully Installed assembly) are 1/2" to 3/4" to short.  

You "should" have a minimum of TWO (2) full turns of thread exposed AFTER torquing.

But glad you seem to have solved the prob !!
