[Healeys] OD condition check?

[Bob Haskell]

Gordy,

I can't help with the testing, but you might check with Leo Rouf (614 
261-6252) in Columbus, OH.  I think he has a motorized bench that he runs 
his rebuilt units across.

You can take off the gearbox cover - keep track of the springs and ball 
bearings - and have a look at things inside.

The center shift tunnel is narrower than the side shift so there are two 
pieces of metal welded to the chassis for the center shift tunnel.  Moss 
Motors calls the two pieces the "Edge Kit", part number 805-785.
