The modified healey register have a plan on how to install an MGB rack to a
Healey at this url

 

http://www.modifiedhealeys.org/Technical/R
<http://www.modifiedhealeys.org/Technical/R&P1.htm> &P1.htm

 

 And an electric power steering mechanism is sold by Pajoe engineering at
www.pajoe.co.uk <http://www.pajoe.co.uk/> 

 

Good luck

I have the larger size driving light on my BJ8 and never noticed any heat concerns.  Have had them mounted for probably 10 years.
 Pittsburgh Pa---also not that hot, but does get in the 90's occasionally.

Curiosity has the best of me.  Why, unless a person has some midical disability, would you want to put power steering on an Austin Healey?  To me, mine steers and handles beautifully, just as it was designed.

I fitted an MGB rack to AHX12 I think the same thing could be done to a 6
cylinder car, but it was not a 10 minute job!!
Larry Varley has some information on that conversion on his site

Hello,

I was thinking about something similar myself a few months ago - what would
it
take to switch a 3000 to an MGB rack/pinion system - probably does not need
power assist and would not involve pumps/belts. Maybe the MGC set up would
be
better/stonger as it carried the same six.

Anyone know of a 3000 with rack steering?

Message-ID: <d9b7a14d0809010555kb439f52k4676619b8754af4b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I should be out driving, instead my front HD8 is sitting disassembled in my
basement.   Aiieee..

I was getting some gas leaking from the bottom of my front carb.   I didn't
notice any gas coming out of the overflow tube.   I've had this happen in
the past when I turn the ignition key and listen until the fuel pump stops
clicking.  If the pump didn't stop, a couple of taps on the float chamber
would take care of it.

Yesterday I was running down a problem with one of the turn signals (bad
bullet connector), so I had the ignition on for a while without running the
engine.   I noticed the fuel pump clicking every so often, and I could smell
gas.   No gas coming out the overflow tube, just gas slowly dripping from
the bottom of the carb.

A check of the list archive suggested the diaphram (jet assembly) was a
likely culprit.   I pulled the carb off, but the diaphram appears to be
OK.

Is it possible to have slow leak at the float chamber needle valve, so that
the float chamber isn't overflowing, but you're getting too much gas at the
needle?     Another question -- when the diaphram fails, is it really
obvious, or could I be over looking a small crack?

I was looking thru my Moss catalog, and it sez the grosse jet is a superior
replacement for the needle and seat.   Does anyone have any experience with
one vs. the other?

thanks again!

Tom

Hi Tw,
My guess is that the jet diaphragm has cracked. If you remove the 4 slot
head screws on the bottom of the jet housing you can disassemble the choke
and jet mechanism and check the diaphragm.

The Grose-jet was probably a superior replacement for the original all metal
needle/seats jets but I believe the Viton tipped needle/seat is superior to
the Grose-jet.

 Tom,
 
I totally agree. Makes you wonder sometimes why they buy a Healey. You
want power steering, air conditioning, a six speaker sound system, Onstar
or whatever else, buy a new car!! An Austin Healey is a classic period
sports car and is "beautiful, just as it was designed." Makes you wonder
what is going to happen when the history is lost.

Hello Michael - great - I was sure that someone had done one by now.

Having done the driving that you have in the 100, could you comment on the
driving characterisitics and feel of the rack healey vs the box healey?

How do you think that would translate to the 3000?

I changed the tranny oil.  I was able to stop the leaks at both drain plugs
(tranny/O/D).  Looks like I have a leak coming from both sides (front/back) of
the O/D adapter plate.  Is is possible to separate the adapter plate from the
tranny and O/D enough to get sealant in?  Can this be done without removing
the O/D or tranny from the car? Any other suggestions?  Thanks.

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity.  My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre
little dangling objects.  They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the
other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.

Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I
nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape.  In an
attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.  Today I
decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet.  I had
hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly
demonstrates what I am capable of.  However, they merely made
condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.   
Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight.  I was
placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event.  However,
I could hear the noises and smell the food.  I overheard that my
confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.'  I must learn what
this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

This morning I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one
of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking.  I must
try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.  I am
convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches..

The dog receives special privileges.  He is regularly released - and
seems to be more than willing to return.  He is obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant.  I observe him communicating with
the guards regularly.  I am certain that he reports my every move.  My
captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell,
so he is safe.

For now...

Michael,

Thanks for the comments - none of them surprise me - as as a once MGB and
Sprite owner I am very familiar with the feeling of a rack steering especially
under spritied driving.

I am sort of hoping that there is someone out there who has done a successful
rack conversion on the 3000 and has the design template defined.

The MGC rack has a slower ratio than the MGB, but greater ease of steering.
Some MGC owners like to change to the faster MGB rack. And... It's not the same six.

You get the same bang from either but not the same buck.   The 700's are 
almost twice the price
and if you damage one good luck on finding replacement parts.    I have seen 
some real cheapo
replacements but would not even consider those on a Healey or any Brit . 
car.

In my findings a good set of 700s are tough to find compared to the 500s and 
your still getting
the same results from both.  I have accumulated 4 of the 700s (used 
originals) but still have not decided whether or not I really want to go 
through the hassle of relay wiring, and wondering if I have enough amperage 
and if one light goes out do I want them to take out half of my lighting or 
all the lights ,  so on and so forth.

At this stage of the game , "high beams" seem like they would work just fine 
and after all non of my daily cars have the drive /foggies on them and I 
have  made it this far.

JMO,   Mark

Subject: [Healeys] Battery Cable.
Message-ID: <000601c90d34$aba72c10$6601a8c0@Dell>

Team.
Some advice from your collective wisdom please. I am rewiring my BN4 project
and have reached the stage of running the main battery cables from the boot
to the solenoid and then to the starter motor. I am using a standard starter
motor and would like to minimise the volt drop throughout the length of the
cable. Rather than using the standard off-the-shelf battery cables I am
considering using welding cable.  It is more flexible and has higher current
carrying capacity. 
 
Could someone advise the size of cable I should go for? Choices available
are 306/0.26strand (16sq.mm) rated at 110Amps, or 680/0.26strand (35sq.mm)
rated at 240 Amps. The simple answer would be the biggest is best, but the
size of the copper internal raises challenges sourcing connectors big enough
to fit.  Is the 16mm big enough and 35mm OTT or should I just go for the
biggest and deal with the connection challenges?
 
Thanks for your input.

Alan -

I have used the stock starter and generator on my BJ8 without fail for
90K miles since rebuild in 1985 and have never had a problem with
starting or charging - the starter has not been touched by a spanner
in over 20 years.  The BN1 the same, for 15K miles since I bought it
in 2002.

I don't see the need for special cabling here - the main thing is just
making sure all connections are good and the starter is in good shape
before going in.  I never over crank....

Kenny,

You need to check that the thrust washer at the back of the overdrive case
has not slipped out of place.  Also, check that the splines on the various
pieces back there line up.  One other possibility is that the overdrive pump
may be hanging up on the pump drive cam.  I usually have to push down on the
pump a bit with a screw driver to insure that it clears the cam.

I used some #2AWG high voltage multi-strand copper wire that I got surplus
from a radiology install I was involved in years ago. It is very heavy and
very limber and needs extra clips to keep it in place. It's price is probably
prohibitive with the current cost of copper. I have had no trouble with the
installation and am assured there is always plenty of current flow capacity,
but don't really know if there is much advantage over the standard material.

I think others have explained all of the things that need to be done to
install the OD, but let me see if I can put it together.

Use a long screw driver to align the internal splines in the overdrive and at
the same time make sure the brass thrust washers don't stick out into  the
shaft space (Unless you have a loose output shaft or a dummy shaft you have to
do these things by sight).

Make sure the pump cam on the output shaft is turned toward the top of the
trannie away from the pump follower and perhaps wire the pump follower down so
it can't interfere.

Place the overdrive onto the output shaft gently to make sure none of these
things change. You may need to turn the output flange slightly to align the
internal splines with the output shaft splines.

You know you have succeeded when a gentle push on the end of the overdrive
causes the unit to compress the clutch springs and spring back.

Start the nuts on the long set pins and pull them down gradually and evenly.
If you encounter any resistance stop and check that the thrust washers haven't
shifted. Better to lose a little time than break the washers. Some of them are
getting hard to find. When the long pins bottom install the other fasteners.

If you have wired down the pump follower be sure to cut the wire and pull it
out before you pull the unit down to the adapter plate.

Good luck.

DO NOT DO THIS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should pull the overdrive together with two large channel lock  
pliers. If you can not pull it together by hand there is a miss  
alignment in side. I have sold many adaptor plates the people broke  
pull the overdrive together with the two long studs and nuts.

That is when the splines are meshing  with the main shaft. So you  
will need to remove the overdrive and look inside and re align the  
splines.
The easiest way is to stand the transmission on the floor with the  
bell housing on the floor sitting on a couple of 2x4s, then you can  
set the overdrive onto the transmission.

Well Done, Todd!!  In my humble opinion (many will disagree) you have
done the best thing possible to revive and preserve you AH.  I think you
will find the Jule chassis to be a superior product.  I have personally
built two AH on Martin's frames and have had close contact with several
others.  They have been easy to work with and they are strong as
Go-rilla Breath.  Feel free to contact me if you'd like.

I looked at their web site and they are in Canada.  Did you tow it there
yourself or ship it?  I know this is probably crass, but what did it end up
costing you?

Yes, they look original and the darkish hue on the green paint
suggests they are not newer repros.

Good day all,

Does anyone know a vendor that carries good rubber fittings for the BJ8 rear
reflector?  Seems one of mine has degraded and I need a new rubber piece
(holds the chrome bezel and goes between the reflector and the mount).  It
seems that I can only find vendors that sell the entire unit (reflector and
rubber).  My original reflector is perfect (and I like originality).

Thanks.

Subject: [Healeys] Crease line on 3000 bonnet?

Howdy all!

I've got a quick question on BT7 bonnets.  I understand that when the
100-6 switched over to the 3000, the contour crease running down the
center of the bonnet was deleted.  However, I've heard from various
sources that a small number of BT7s were produced using the 100-6
bonnet, aparently because there were a bunch still in inventory, and BMC
made use of what it had.  Does anyone have a BT7 with a hood crease, or
can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks!

In a conversation with the late Geoff Healey in 1992, he told me they
never wasted anything.  I believe this would apply to their inventory of
bonnets at the time.  Are you wondering whether to use a creased bonnet
or not??  If so, they do fit and I do have one on my BT7 Mk2.  But....it
was pirated from a BN6 because my original (no crease) was badly
damaged.  Some think it looks odd but that sort of fits my attitude
about Healeys.  I can say that because I bought my car new and have kept
it ever since.  Yes, it has LOTS of non-original components.  Sooo, if
this answers your question, use it if you have it and you'll have at
least one kindred spirit out there.

The creased hood was on the Longbridge 100/6. When the moved to  
Abingdon they removed the crease on the later 100/6. There were some  
that were left over and used on the early Abingdon 100/6 but by the  
time they got to the 3000 they were all used up.

G'day list

Can anyone tell me the length of a BN1 handbrake cable (overall length of the
outer casing to the ends of the threaded portions)? I have a brand new one
that came with my BN1 project car, but it appears to be too long - it's 880mm
on the outer casing. The cable has a "Made in England" sticker and a number
BRK225.

Peter -

That's an AH Spares part number.  You can look it up on their website
and confirm if it's the right one.

If I'm not mistaken the cable is the same for all big healeys. I am
sure AH Spares will swap it if there's any problem, they are a pretty
fair lot.

Best,

Alan

For the seals google woolies trim in the UK.  They have all sorts of
sponge rubber shapes and the prices are very fair.  If there's old
rubber on the side curtains you'll probably be able to match it.

Peter and Alan

The measurement I have recorded for an original cable is

Shoulder to shoulder on the outer = 29 9/16". I am not sure what your 
880mm refers to but as this comes out around 34 3/4" this seems to me to 
be too long for a 100.

The part numbers are different. For example

100          1B 7361
3000      11B 5338

BMC did not change part numbers without reason and 1B 7361 went 
'obsolete' and not 'superseded by' as it could have been if the later 
part were suitable.

All -

Is there a guide somewhere that tells me what the codes mean on british made
bolts?

Specifically,

Is type "R" similar to Grade 5 (US) and
Type "S" similar to Grade 8 (US)?

Is R good enough for most purposes on a Healey?  Anything that requires Type
S?

FWIW, the (apparently) original bolts that affix the dampers (shock absorbers) on my BJ8 are marked with an "S" in the center.

Leads me to believe they are grade-8 equivalent.

Alan,

I'm going to hazard a guess that the R and the S indicate the 
manufacturers, not the grade.

Alan,

I have done most of the research on this in preparation for a series of
articles on British Fasteners.  I don't have my notes with me at the moment
but I have equivalent ratings for Grades B, D, R, S, T & V with regard to
the specific "Tons Tensile" ratings for these grades.  You can reference
these to the S.A.E. ratings of Grades, 2, 5 & 8.

Off the top of my head I believe that Grade "R" is 45-55 Tons Tensile
(nominal and ultimate loads) with equates roughly to a S.A.E. Grade 5.

I'll have the specific information later this evening.

And no, the letters are NOT the vendor, that would be the vendor name on the
bolts, e.g., WILEY, NEWTON, TORRINGTON, AUTO, and about 30 others.

One would think that an "S"rating would be a grade 8 but I believe that it's
closer to a Grade 5 and the "S" replaced the "R" rating in the early 1960's.

Alan,

I also seem to recall that Grades "T" & "V" are 55-65 Tons Tensile and
equate to S.A.E. Grade 8.  You will typically find these internal to a
Healey engine.

I will publish my complete list later this evening when I return home.

Cheers,

Can someone on the list help me with some French translation?  A fellow in
France wants one of my valve covers for his Healey.  His English is not good
and my French is worse.  Contact me off list.

Ray -

If you two are simply writing to each other using email, there is a pretty
decent automatic translator on the internet.  The translation won't be
perfect, but you will get the gist of it.  It's also good because you can
translate your English response back into French for him to read.

G'day

Yes Babelfish is great, but it's lacking in some important aspects.

Like there isn't any Australian - American translator.

Had some interesting interpretations of what I was saying in the US. Then
again I was in California.

All,
 
I just saw Oceans 12 last night and there was a very cool car in it that I  
thought was a Healey, but the Internet says it's a Lynx C Type. Does anyone 
know  anything about these cars? Are they kit cars or something?
 
Thanks,

The Lynx C Type was a car built for LeMans in '51 by Jaguar. It's
based on the mechanicals of an XK-120 (which is a gorgeous car in it's
own right).

It appears that there's a firm in the UK that makes reproductions:

Message-ID: <20080906192617.A826018764D@autox.team.net>

What is the best way to remove the overdrive accumulator piston and sleeve
to replace the o-ring(s) on a BJ7?  My gearbox is in the car, but I
disconnected the rear mounts and raised it enough to remove the plate which
gives access to the accumulator and the oil pump non-return valve.  Looking
in, I can see the spacer tube and the accumulator spring.  The spacer tube
wobbles a bit, but does not seem interested in coming out.

My manual shows tool number 18G182.  What can I use for a substitute?

Thanks,

Help me, Rhonda!   The "Lynx C-Type" that was observed in the movie is, in 
fact, a current reproduction, built by the Lynx Company,   of the Jaguar C-Type 
that was raced by Jaguar and won LeMans in 1951 and 1953. The "C-type" -- 
named because of its upgraded C-type engine, was built on the mechanicals of the 
XK120, with a tube-framed wind-cheating and exceptionally lovely body crafted 
by former aircraft engineer Malcolm Sayer. The Lynx is a very nice 
reproduction, developed by the company after it had developed a full line of replacement 
panels for the original C-types, and -- I believe -- has current Jag internals 
and engine.

Air pressure through the top operating valve plug.
 Here's the rub, one must insert their fingers into the accumulator to keep
the piston from being blown out. You'll need about 100PSI. If it doesn't
come out immediately then it will require a proper tool to expand on the
outer edge and then extract.. BTW, You DON"T want to remove the piston from
the accumulator housing!!

Thanks you to everyone who replied on and off list. I've determined that my gearbox assembly has only a single buffer in the clutch housing. I have yet to reassemble, though. I have braved separating the overdrive unit to change those seals and gaskets. There's more, but that's another post...

I am also in the process of replacing the accumulator o-rings, as Peter is. To compound the challenge of removing the accumulator sleeve, upon removal of the piston, I found pretty heavy scoring of the piston and rings. I assume that this isn't normal, but is it acceptable? 

If it has to be replaced, I'll be in the market for one, and if anyone has a spare for sale please contact me off list.

FWIW, I didn't have any trouble removing the spring or the spacer tube. I was even able to remove the piston with a pair of specialty pliers that open when the handles are squeezed. I was amazed at the ease with which it came out, but alas, in its' condition I know it won't go back in as easily.

I understand that compressed air may push the accumulator sleeve out, but are there any other options  besides that for removal?

Also, if I ever get to the reassembly stage, is there a source for the rubber bumper that limits the bottom of the stroke of the solenoid piston?

ANy advice would be appreciated- my overdrive is in your hands. Tom

I am in the process of aligning doors and door latches.   Its been years since
I dismantled this stuff so the correct latch position is a question to me.

The door jam "chrome latch" has a notch and a large hole in the center.

The door mechanism has a small piston that inserts into the door jam latch to
hold the door shut.

 Is the  center hole supposed to be the home position for the piston or the
notch?    I can't really see a lot of wear at the hole position but a lot of
wear at the notch.

Hope this is clear enough.

For the rubber bumper under the solenoid piston, I used a small nylon screw
and a faucet washer.

One of the sources that I read said that the accumulator piston had a
threaded hole, 3/8 24, in the top to facilitate removal with the proper
tool.  Can anyone verify the diameter and thread size?

Hi Peter-

I just applied the rubber tipped air nozzle method of accumulator piston/sleeve removal with success, using 120 PSI. On my BJ7, the accumulator sleeve is open at the bottom end, so as you introduce air pressure and simultaneously hold the piston down so that it is not forced out by the pressure, but at the same time you must not push the piston out the other (open) end of the sleeve down into the accumulator cavity of the od housing. All advice given here seems to point to non-removal of the piston from the sleeve. I found that getting enough "momentum" behind the sleeve, and keeping the piston in place is a delicate procedure. No wonder previous postings warn against this procedure without the proper factory tools. I'll have to add this to the ever growing list of things not to do.

As previously stated, I had already removed the piston in ignorance. I was able to slide it back into the sleeve without consequence, however. When I applied the air pressure to the relief valve hole, I simultaneously held the piston in place with a screwdriver handle that fit the recess of the piston. I did such a good job of holding the piston in a fixed position that the sleeve slid up and out of the cavity right past the piston, leaving the piston behind, and in the absence of a surrounding sleeve, the piston dropped into the cavity. I easily retrieved it with a magnetic extension tool. I have to remark that the air pressure worked like a charm in the absence of the expansion tool designed for this purpose, but if your goal is to only change the "o" ring (s), BE CAREFUL. The piston has no reservations about sliding right out of the sleeve as the sleeve is pushed past it.

Now I have both the piston and its' sleeve out. I need to determine the course of action for dealing with the scoring on both the piston and the walls of the sleeve.

Incidentally, since the bottom of my accumulator sleeve is open, there is no threaded hole into which one could screw a threaded rod. Perhaps on different variants there is such a provision.

I'm going back out to the garage to scratch my head on the piston damage, I'll check back later.

Regards, Tom

Tom/Peter
The galling in the piston bore is very common. Fortunately it doesn't much
matter as the pump makes sufficient pressure to operate the unit despite
small amounts of leakage. The hard part is getting the piston back in the
bore with out braking the VERY delicate rings. Make sure the splits are all
at 90 degrees to the adjacent rings, just like a piston in your block. The
bore is aluminum so do not try to hone. Clean the small inlet holes around
the circumference of the housing. Wet the new O-rings with grease or oil
prior to re-insertion.

Hi Dave-

Thanks for the insight. I breathed a big sigh of relief after reading your reply. I've returned the piston to the bore as prescribed, with no difficulty. Once again, the dedication of the listers in sharing their knowledge and experience shines through.

Have a great day. Tom

Hi John,
I made a stainless exhaust using Magnaflow 4" round silencers. Though I have
a BJ8, I went with just the two cans under the seat. I figured if it was too
loud, I could add the other two across the trunk. I'm happy the way it is
though. Here's a link to what they sound like.

Hi Mark,

The notch in the striker is just the first position (or "first click" as the 
door is being closed) while the hole is the actual aiming and alignment 
point required.
Also be aware of the correct "depth" of the male striker as it slides into 
the dove tail shaped female door latch. Adjustment with shims placed behind 
the alloy trim plates (therefore keeping them out of sight) is also 
critical.

Listers 
    Thanks to all on this wonderful list who responded to my request for help
with French.  I think I have it taken care of.  It seems I also opened up a
thread about translating Australian.  Just another chance to poke fun at the
speech mannerisms of our brothers in the Southern Hemisphere.
    On that subject I must admit to having a long conversation with our man
Quinn and his lovely wife at the Monterey Historics.  I can report that I
understood most of what he said without the use of a translation devise of any
kind.  A very delightful conversation it was too.  You just never know.

If you want rich and deep you get "glass packs" like I had in the 60's on my

Bell makes both a mild steel and stainless steel system.  I purchased one of 
the first mild steel mufflers made by Bell  from  AH Spares.and I have been 
very pleased with the sound which is quieter than the previous two systems I 
had on my BN7.

I cobbled together an exhaust from glasspacks bought from J.C. Whitney 
with the pipes from an Ansa whose mufflers were shot.  My welding isn't 
too pretty but it sounds pretty good; interestingly, it's louder at low 
speeds than at highway speeds.  The mufflers are smaller diameter than 
the Ansa's so give me a wee bit more clearance.

I met an interesting fellow at a car show recently. He had owned a BJ8 back  
in the day and had bought it from Bic Healey at the family dealership while he 
 was in the Air Force. He told me he ripped off the mufflers and  brought it 
in to the dealership for repair.
 
Geoff Healey suggested he replace the mufflers with Lotus Mufflers. Seems  
that was what everyone was doing at the time since it gave better ground  
clearance and a nicer sound.
 
Anyone ever heard of this modification?

Thanks Rich.  I can't believe that they would go to the trouble of sticking 
the shims  behind the alum. plate and not behind the chrome latch unit.  It 
took me all day to get everything in alignment and that was with the shim 
behind the latch so at least I could see what the hell
I was doing.   Wow,  I am still being amazed at how they did stuff back 
then.

FWIW,  with out the shim,  the lock pin WOULD NOT line up with the hole in 
the latch.  It took me awhile to figure out the shim position.

Thanks again,   Mark

240-Z muffler, did it on my tri-carb1998, still sounds wonderfulllllll to 
me.

2in/2out, approx 2"-3" shorter than stock, 1/4" to 3/8" flatter fits just 
fine, more ground clearance.

G'day Ray

Yes it was a most pleasant and enjoyable conversation. Plus I had not
difficulty understanding what you were saying.

The Babel Fish (*) is an amazing thing isn't it?

Clearly you didn't know that we Australians are issued with them at birth
and I had one in my ear. Caroline, although born in England was issued her's
by the Australian Translation Service when she became an Australian citizen.

(*) "The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest
thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its
own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental
frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then
excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix, formed by
combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up
from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical
upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear, you can
instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language."

Seriously Ray it was wonderful meeting you and my other US friends.

Best wishes

Listers 
    Thanks to all on this wonderful list who responded to my request for
help
with French.  I think I have it taken care of.  It seems I also opened up a
thread about translating Australian.  Just another chance to poke fun at the
speech mannerisms of our brothers in the Southern Hemisphere.
    On that subject I must admit to having a long conversation with our man
Quinn and his lovely wife at the Monterey Historics.  I can report that I
understood most of what he said without the use of a translation devise of
any
kind.  A very delightful conversation it was too.  You just never know.

I'm trying to get AHX12 ready and need to resolve a problem with the
intercom.
I'm getting a clicking noise through the intercom when the engine is
running. This is caused by some "noise" on the 12 VDC power supply line
which comes from the car's electrical system. I know this because when I run
the intercom from a separate battery there is no noise with the car running.
I have been unable to find the source of the "noise" so I want to put a
filter of some sort on the power supply line to the intercom.
I've tried those cylindrical magnet things but they didn't work. 
Is there a simple in line filter that I can readily source (I leave on
Wednesday) that I can run the power through to get the "noise" out.

Radio shack should sell a big round inline radio filter which attaches
to the powered lead for a car radio.  They used to sell them at least
- they work quite well.

If all else fails run it off a spare motorcycle battery, if you have
one, or a small 12V UPS battery which you can usually buy at a decent
computer supply store.

Michael--
 
My smart electronics friend suspects a diode in the alternator and  suggests 
disconnecting the alternator and then starting car to see if that  eliminates 
the problem.  
 
The quick fix would be an RF choke available at Radio Shack or  similar 
store.  See this site:  
_http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103978&cp_ (http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103978&cp) =   
There is a Radio Shack near me and they have one in stock--I can bring it 
with  me and we would have to solder it into the 12V+ power supply line.
 
Let me know by tomorrow if you cannot find one.
 
Best--Michael

Message-ID: <751d05480809080837h4687b041g88f6f0bde4bf18cf@mail.gmail.com>

Alan and you other Nut Cases,

Here is what I have to date with regard to British strength rating codes and
their letter ratings.  BTW I sent this same (similar) list out back on
2/4/01, so it should be in the archives, Re: "Unbreako - R, S or T."  I've
updated it slightly.

*A*  - 28 TONS TENSILE, I've never seen a bolt with this rating in 35 years
of working on British cars.

*B*  - UNKNOWN, However the 3/8" Bolts that hold the bumper brackets to the
frame on my BN1 are this rating and I've seen them in other low stress
applications.  The 5/16" bolts that hold my air cleaners to the carburetors
on my BN1 are also a "B" rating with the "WODEN" vendor name.

*D*  - 45/55 TONS TENSILE, I've seen this listed as 45/55 TT but this would
make it the same as the higher R rating which doesn't seem to make sense. I
have at least one bolt in my collection labeled "BEES 45D55."

*P*  - 35 TONS TENSILE, This seems to fit the pattern and this is referenced
somewhere in my research but I don't have any examples.  I would suspect
that this SHOULD be a 35/45 strength rating. I've also never seen a "P"
rating code on any bolt.

*R*  - 45/55 TONS TENSILE  The most common rating code for fasteners on my
BN1and seems so be on most period cars through the end of the 1950s.  I have
plenty of bolts labeled "BEES 45R55.  According to Phillip Brown at British
Tools & Fasteners, this is roughly equal to a U.S. Grade 5.
*
S*  - 50/60 TONS TENSILE, The S rating appears to have replaced the R rating
around 1960 and as you can see it's slightly stronger.  I have a bolt in my
collection labeled "RUBERY OWEN S50-60"

*T*  - 55/65 TONS TENSILE, I have a bolt labeled "BEES 55T65"

*V*  - 65/75 TONS TENSILE, Once again I have an example labeled "BEES 65V75"

I also found a bolt on my three speed transmission with the markings "SPARTS
HT SAE"  One of the few non BSF (Whitworth) bolts on the transmission and I
believe that the HT stands for High Tensile, but that's just a SWAG.  I have
found other bolts labeled HT in high stress areas on the suspension of my
'60 Bugeye.

Don't we have anyone on the list in the fastener industry (UK) that could
help us out with a reference to these ratings?

Cheers,

Curt

So, I'm looking at starting the disassembly of my  BT7 in the next
couple months. Finally getting other projects tied up and out of the
way.

So, I'm wondering as to what tools I should gather in advance that
wouldn't be in the garage of someone who's done an older british car
(e.g. Whitworth sockets, spanners, etc). Also, if there's anything AH
3000 secific I should gather.

Most of my restorations that weren't done with dad's old collection of
tools have either been more modern british cars (70's) or american
cars, so my present tool collection reflects that.

Thanks in advance!
Jody

Message-ID: <0CE9FCA6AF3DB74CA0AE50B823FA5B18202E04@na1ecm30.ecc2.ford.com>

Hello,

I'm pleased to say that after allowing the 62 BT7 project to sit
(completely disassembled) for over 10 years, I have rededicated myself
to completing the job.  Of course, I have always been able to create
wonderful reasons why I couldn't work on it over the years.  It's too
hot in the garage, it's too cold in the garage, I'm too busy at work,
the kids are in college and don't have the money, etc, etc...  Well,  I
have slowly chipped away at all the excuses and for the most part, they
are gone!  After a cumulative 8 years of college expenses, I'm down to
the last child who only has 2-1/2 years to go.  (Those years with two in
school at the same time were a bit lean!)  I have installed heating and
A/C in the garage, new 110 and 220v service, compressed air and new
lighting that's so bright I can attract bugs from 1/4 mile away.  I even
went as far as selling my Bugeye with the wind-up key I made to drive
while the 3000 was in progress.  (I really hated to do that because it
was so fun but I needed the room to work)

Anyway, now that I'm back on task, I'm sure I'll have a few problems
that will pop-up as things progress.  For those situations where I need
a helping hand, I hope to use the list as a resource.  I promise to try
and avoid overtaxing your generosity and I will ALWAYS search the
archives before typing.

Thanks!

Ps.  If you have a minute, take a look at my old Bugeye.  I installed a
wind-up key that made this fun little car a one of a kind!

A friend called me yesterday with a lug nut dilemma. He bought a set of
Minilite lookalikes with lug nuts from Victoria British. He can't seem to get
through to anyone at VB that can help him. It seems the lug nuts do not extend
far enough into the wheels to engage more than about 3 - 4 threads on the

Subject: [Healeys] OD Part 3
Message-ID: <BAY139-W281AB3598A71A1E831F06BB3550@phx.gbl>

Hey List,

Last week I mentioned the difficulty I was having with attaching my OD to the
gearbox.  I stopped messing with it until today.

I never completely had taken the OD off the gearbox because the original
intent was to slide the OD unit back just enough to put a bead of sealant on
the gasket (because it never had any sealant).

Obviously that was a bad idea.

Today, I pulled the OD completely off the gearbox and discovered a small,
thin, silver washer that had been smashed (folded in half).  My question
is...where did that washer come from?

Info...the gearbox and OD were rebuilt about 4 years ago (800 miles).  Both
are out of the car.

 Does this car have Healey disc wheel hubs on the front and disc wheel
drums on the rear or what is the set up?
Speed shops also have deep reach lug nuts if that helps.

A friend called me yesterday with a lug nut dilemma. He bought a set of
Minilite lookalikes with lug nuts from Victoria British. He can't seem
to get through to anyone at VB that can help him. It seems the lug nuts
do not extend far enough into the wheels to engage more than about 3 - 4
threads on the studs. My friend is concerned for his safety. Anyone out

There are only 2 steel thrust washers in the O/D and they should not come
out simply by removing the O/D from the transmission. I would guess that
some one put it in the wrong location during the previous rebuild...hope it
wasn't me ;>)

After a year of procrastination, I've finally set about to replace my clutch.  I received emails from quite a few listers detailing the steps to follow.  At this point I've got the bell housing/gearbox/overdrive assembly held up by a large floor jack with a carved out 4x4 inch wooden block between the casing and the jack.  The engine is supported by a screw jack properly padded.  Drive shaft and starter are out of the car.  Clutch slave cylinder is out of the way. Gearbox damper is removed. Speedo cable and wire to gearbox removed.  I've taken the precaution some mentioned about loosening the throttle linkage.  I removed the bell housing bolts and the assembly moves freely away from the engine.

Question(s)

1. How much separation do I need between the bellhousing and the engine rear plate before the first motion shaft is free and clear?
2. Can I continue to jack the bellhousing/gearbox/overdrive in that extended position without damaging the shaft?
I understand that I need to jack the engine pretty much in sync with the gearbox, but should both "pieces" be bolted together before I raise the gearbox?

As always, I anticipate and appreciate your help.

There are two different types of mounting holes/lug nuts available.  
There is the flat type and the standard lug centering "conical" nuts.  
The flat type can have the long nuts that will reach into the hole  
and hold tight.

I bought longer studs for my car.

I too bought longer studs.  Are these new wheels the KN Minators??  If
so, that's what I have.  I purchased new 7/16" lug nuts from AutoZone
for about $1.50 each (about 7-8 years ago).  They have a thin stainless
steel cover just for looks over the steel lug nut and they require a
3/4" deep socket for a lug wrench.  The inner ends are "mushroomed" so
they are wider and tapered so they are a perfect match for the KN
wheels.  BUT...you do have to install longer studs.  I bought mine at a
street rod shop near home.  Measure carefully so you don't get 'em too
long.

I've come into possession of a 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 with 13,800 
original miles.  It has original paint, seats, interior panels, carpet, 
top, tonneau cover, side curtains, side curtain bag, tools, all chrome, 
wheels & tires and has a factory hardtop in original condition (the 
wheels and tires are a bit rough looking).  The spare tire appears to 
have never been used. Hoses, belts, some suspension bushings have been 
replaced.  In order to drive it, it is currently shod with Minilite 
replicas with 205/65 tires.  These are not intended to go with the car.  
Also included are all of the original parts replaced.  The car is Old 
English White with a red interior with white piping in the seats.  The 
dash looks as new.
All of the above are in very good condition along with the mechanicals.
If you are interested in becoming the custodian of this surviving piece 
of history, we are accepting offers in keeping with its extremely rare 
original condition. 
The car will be displayed in the car corral at Fall Hershey (Hershey, PA 
USA), Oct. 8 - 11.
Please email me for pictures or with any questions.

Thanks for all of the advice and suggestions.

Taking a suggestion that I found on a Triumph web site, I used a 1-1 1/8"
expansion plug.  I inserted the plug into the spacer tube and tightened the
nut to expand the plug.  I was then able to pull the tube, accumulator
cylinder, and piston all in one piece by pulling on the expansion plug nut
with a pair of vice grips.

Somehow the piston had come out far enough that one piston ring was out of
the bore.  I see what you all meant about the rings being very delicate.

I will know in another day or so, after I get everything back together,
whether replacing the o-ring solves my problem.

I have always raised the engine and gearbox while they were bolted together.
You have to go pretty far back with the gearbox before the first motion
shaft will be clear.  I always remove the drive shaft completely so that I
can push the tail end of the gearbox into the drive shaft tunnel.  That is
the only way that you will be able to get the gearbox far enough back so
that the first motion shaft will be clear of the clutch.  Be sure to mark
the flanges so that you can mate them up the way they were originally.

Many thanks to everyone who made suggestions as to solve the noise in our
intercom. 

I tried Radio Shack, called The Source up here in Canada, and they sold me a
little mystery box with 3 wires which was meant to eliminate all noises. It
didn't make any difference. 

I took off the alternator belt but the noise persisted sort of confirming
that it was from the ignition system which uses solid core wires, probably
the cause.

Then a tech at the shop, who is a CB and model plane nut suggested that I
take a choke (electronic) out of an old fan motor brush plate that he had
just thrown out and install it in the power line. MAGIC no more noise.all

Michael--

 

My smart electronics friend suspects a diode in the alternator and suggests
disconnecting the alternator and then starting car to see if that eliminates
the problem.  

 

The quick fix would be an RF choke available at Radio Shack or similar
store.  See this site:
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103978
<http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103978&cp> &cp=
There is a Radio Shack near me and they have one in stock--I can bring it
with me and we would have to solder it into the 12V+ power supply line.

 

Let me know by tomorrow if you cannot find one.

I'm getting a clicking noise through the intercom when the engine is
running. This is caused by some "noise" on the 12 VDC power supply line
which comes from the car's electrical system. I know this because when I run
the intercom from a separate battery there is no noise with the car running.
I have been unable to find the source of the "noise" so I want to put a
filter of some sort on the power supply line to the intercom.
I've tried those cylindrical magnet things but they didn't work. 
Is there a simple in line filter that I can readily source (I leave on
Wednesday) that I can run the power through to get the "noise" out.

I took apart my electronic tach (late BJ8) to make it negative ground and
noticed the interior housing is painted about 75% white (lower sections) and
the top part light blue.  Since everyone on the list talks about getting the
gauges brighter, why not all white?

Message-ID: <ff59076c0809081846y75bf0d1nd3a9441bbb053d99@mail.gmail.com>

All -
My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior.  Looks nice
but nothing close to original!

Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it
over the next few months.  My desire is to get the car back to as close to a
factory & factory color scheme as possible.

Keep in mind I want to have an OEM style red leather interior (as was
available in the UK on special order).  Note also according to my BMHIT
cert, the car was originally White with red interior (and is confirmed by
paint on the undersides), but I would also like to keep a two tone paint
job.  With all this in mind I have two real options I am considering:

1) Go with Black over Red with Red interior.  This is an original color
scheme and will be similar to what the car is painted now.  The color looks
fantastic as well.  Downside is black does not age all that well and will
highlight minor imperfections over time - also it gets hot in the sun.  Also
the car was painted white at the factory.

2) Go with the original color scheme of White with Red interior - with a
twist (remember I want two tone).  The only two tone with white done by the
factory was white over black.  I think that color combo is fine, but with a
red interior I would really prefer to go with White over Red, with red
interior.  This is not an original factory color combination, but I have to
imagine several cars were painted like this at dealerships?  This would
allow me to more or less have the car in its original color scheme but the
coves painted red.  This was a standard corvette paint scheme in the
sixties.

I do intend for the car to be a 98% restoration to original concours
standard, with 2% stuff for the car to be a good daily runner (i.e.
pertonix, spin on filter, proper air filters, etc.).

I am leaning to white over red with red interior.

Will you purists out there choke on your "pan au chocolat" when you see the
car in this colo(u)r scheme?

Michael -
I think that "choke" is basically the filter that Radio Shack sells, and
what I put in my healey (one wire only).  They do work.  Glad you got it
sorted!  Not sure what that whacky three wire gizmo is... from "The Source?"
 Sounds like a horror movie!

I have always had excellent luck by suporting the engine as you have but 
doing the following:
- Rig a lifting device (small chain falls in my case) with the chain running 
right behind the windshield frame (protect with rags)with a rope sling 
running around the aft portion of the gearbox/forward portion of the 
overdrive unit. This seems to be about the right balancing point.
- With everything undone as you have, I lift gently on the chain falls a few 
links and as soon as the weight of the transmission assembly is on the chain 
falls, I can pull back the entire assembly, and literally swivel the 
transmission using the heel of my hand on the rear prop shaft flange.
- The trans assembly can be turned 90 degrees and set across the floor, the 
sling removed, and the trans can be lifted (two people) and removed from the 
car.
- Replace the clutch assembly as needed.
- Bring the trans back into the car, resling as before, take the weight on 
the chain falls, and turn the assembly to face forward again.
- Shift the trans into 4th gear, and with the weight of the trans still on 
the sling, you can push the assembly forward enough to engage the splines of 
the clutch, rotating the shaft by means of the rear prop shaft flange being 
in direct drive (4th gear).
- When the input shaft splines enter the clutch splines, the trans will no 
longer be able to spin. You'll have about another 1 1/2" to go to shove 
everything home. Align bolt holes and finish reassembling everything.

I've come into possession of a 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 with 13,800 
original miles.  It has original paint, seats, interior panels, carpet, 
top, tonneau cover, side curtains, side curtain bag, tools, all chrome, 
wheels & tires and has a factory hardtop in original condition (the 
wheels and tires are a bit rough looking).  The spare tire appears to 
have never been used. Hoses, belts, some suspension bushings have been 
replaced.  In order to drive it, it is currently shod with Minilite 
replicas with 205/65 tires.  These are not intended to go with the car.

Also included are all of the original parts replaced.  The car is Old 
English White with a red interior with white piping in the seats.  The 
dash looks as new.
All of the above are in very good condition along with the mechanicals.
If you are interested in becoming the custodian of this surviving piece 
of history, we are accepting offers in keeping with its extremely rare 
original condition. 
The car will be displayed in the car corral at Fall Hershey (Hershey, PA

USA), Oct. 8 - 11.
Please email me for pictures or with any questions.

I'm trying to replace the rubber washers under the chrome bezel of my wipers - the car leaks like a sive. The chrome nut is frozen. When I turn the chrome nut, the housing (the piece the nut attaches to) also turns. 

How would you suggest I free the nut?  Should I hold the rear bush with vice grips and "pinch" the wheel box housing - sounds like a bad choice. Should I cut the wheel box housing and replace it - another less than desireable choice. Is there a way to get to the piece to which the nut is attached from under the dash?  Do I need to remove the dash to do this work or replace the wheel housing?

Thank you for your thoughts.

Alan:

FWIW:  I have a good friend in Vancouver, BC who has a white over red BJ8 
with a red interior.

He has further departed from standard practice a bit - the top and tonneau 
are red, as well as the dash pad and door top rolls.  He has used a slightly 
darker red for the coves than Colorado Red.  It is one damn nice looking 
BJ8!

I encourage you to consider the white / red combo.  It would be easy enough 
in the future to repaint the coves either white or black (if anyone really 
wanted to bother) to return the car to a completely original colour combo, 
assuming of course that the top / tonneau / boot cover will be black.

All -
My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior.  Looks nice
but nothing close to original!

Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it
over the next few months.  My desire is to get the car back to as close to a
factory & factory color scheme as possible.

I'll be at Hershey this year and hope to see your Healey time capsule. We go back about every three years or so. I used to run the aisles at Hershey to see as many of the 1000's of flea market vendors, especially any stall flying a British flag. It is now to big and I'm to old to do 50 miles in 4 days.  The corral is an amazing collection of cars and other vehicles for sale. Always different and interesting.  The car show on Saturday is an all day adventure, from the unofficial parade of vehicles arriving early in the morning to that last roasted turkey leg.  If you have been there you'll understand. I'll be the guy that looks like he is enjoying himself, along with 100,000 others.

If you have the time you should make the car available to someone from

Hi Price, because there is a tubular spacer on the wheelbox body between the
wheelbox gear housing and the lower side of the shroud there is nothing that
you can do to grip the wheelbox while you turn the nut. 
I would recommend that you acquire some replacement nuts.....for the
wheelbox..... then cut the seized ones off. Make sure that you have the
correct ones before you do as many suppliers will send a different size
which do not fit.
To cut the nuts off I would suggest that you used the old "Abdul camel
trick". 
Have someone press the head of a club hammer against one side of the nut
then using a sharp cold chisel and another hammer cut the opposite side of
the nut. Once split in this way the nut will unscrew easily.

Further to Mike's suggestion, a nut splitter will fit over the nut and can 
be smoothly and carefully tightened down until the nut splits, eliminating 
any possible impact damage. The nut is chromed brass so will split 
relatively easily.

I had talked to the former owner before Encounter and told him that he 
should put it through the concours evaluation process, but it didn't 
happen.  The judges could then draw what they may from it.  I would 
welcome anyone from the concours committee to look it over.
One thing that puzzles me is that the original fan is painted red, which 
I always thought should be yellow on a car of this vintage.  The 
original owner was not the type to mess with this sort of thing and 
according to the second owner who I bought it from, that is how it was. 
He was apparently an owner of New Holland Tractor in Lancaster County, 
PA.  The car was actually bought for his wife as a birthday gift.
The Healey spent it's first five years in a heated and air conditioned 
carriage house, but after the old man died the widow turned off the 
climate control.
I forgot to mention that the original exhaust system is also with the 
car, though a stainless steel unit is currently on it.  Apparently the 
muffler was quite noisy, probably the interior of it had all 
disintegrated over time.

I had virtually the same trouble with my car....wipers kept the screen
dry(ish) but water poured through where the rubber seals had shrunk/withered
away to nothing.
1) I managed to grip the chrome bodies with a mole wrench and get something
onto the nuts and get them turning. I used a cloth so there was little or no
scratching on the chrome, which was a waste of time because....
2) the chrome bodies wouldn't come off the spindles for love nor money.So...
3) I bought a Dremel and the appropriate little cutter/grinder, made a
groove down the top, say, 7/8ths of the bodies, stuck a series of
progressively bigger screw drivers into the slot and cracked them open and
thus removed them.
4) Replacement is not, as they say, the reverse of the above procedure.

One thing did strike me at the time........the spindles might have been
caught on the inside of the chrome bodies. Having someone in the car pushing
the mechanism upwards while someone else moved the body around might just
have released them. Hard to recall exactly what might have been catching on
what but I do recall that the chrome bodies were pretty hollow and that they
weren't touching the spindles' casings all the way down. (which would have
allowed 30 -40 yrs worth of crud to go solid for the friction/binding
effect).
The latter push/wiggle manoeuvre risks damaging the mechanism which isn't
that robust. But the Dremel risks the paintwork.
The chrome bodies cost nothing much. I replaced the spindles which are
supplied with new nuts, the chrome bodies and got some decent seals. The
ones that had sat on my work bench for a year or two were useless and I got
some better ones. Afraid that I can't recall which of the "usual suspects"
supplied which seal and I'd be perfectly happy to say without a silly
asterisk in sight.

Hi Richard,
A few years ago I bought TR6 lug nuts fron VB with the same problem. I 
called and asked to speak with a manager as I thought they might want to 
know about the problem and save themselves a lot of trouble. They took my 
number but no one called. I tried several more times and finally sent the 
nuts back, I wasn't impressed and don't deal with them.

IMO- the BJ8's look best in a solid exterior color.  The earlier two seaters
look good in the two tone shades, but that's obviously just my opinion.

If you stay with solid white with red interior you will have a striking car
AND there is no doubt about the car being correct.

All -
My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior.  Looks nice
but nothing close to original!

Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it
over the next few months.  My desire is to get the car back to as close to a
factory & factory color scheme as possible.

Keep in mind I want to have an OEM style red leather interior (as was
available in the UK on special order).  Note also according to my BMHIT
cert, the car was originally White with red interior (and is confirmed by
paint on the undersides), but I would also like to keep a two tone paint
job.  With all this in mind I have two real options I am considering:

1) Go with Black over Red with Red interior.  This is an original color
scheme and will be similar to what the car is painted now.  The color looks
fantastic as well.  Downside is black does not age all that well and will
highlight minor imperfections over time - also it gets hot in the sun.  Also
the car was painted white at the factory.

2) Go with the original color scheme of White with Red interior - with a
twist (remember I want two tone).  The only two tone with white done by the
factory was white over black.  I think that color combo is fine, but with a
red interior I would really prefer to go with White over Red, with red
interior.  This is not an original factory color combination, but I have to
imagine several cars were painted like this at dealerships?  This would
allow me to more or less have the car in its original color scheme but the
coves painted red.  This was a standard corvette paint scheme in the
sixties.

I do intend for the car to be a 98% restoration to original concours
standard, with 2% stuff for the car to be a good daily runner (i.e.
pertonix, spin on filter, proper air filters, etc.).

I am leaning to white over red with red interior.

Will you purists out there choke on your "pan au chocolat" when you
see the
car in this colo(u)r scheme?

My car is a 60 BT7L4422. It had a red fan as original. I may have

    Last fall & winter we were asked to work on a similar car, that had been 
sitting in dry storage for almost 40 years.  This was a '59 BN7 with 14000 
miles from new..  The car was cleaned, the engine removed & regasketed.  The 
timing chain tensioner was replaced (the rubber was bad on the original) but 
otherwise everything was put back into the engine that came out.  The motor 
was painted.  We rebuilt the brakes, fitted new tires and a new soft top. 
Buffed up the original paint & polished the chrome. The original spare tire 
is unused in the trunk.  We had an information session on this car at 
Autofarm earlier this year.  There are pictures of it on our website, and it 
will be at Conclave 2009 in Ontario.
Cheers.......Bob

Listers,
Speaking of cheap BT7s I could not resist.  I too have a BT7 now!!!!!  I
just picked it up from my buddy Karl last Thursday.  He had lost interest
and could not complete the restoration.  I found the car on Hemmings website
in May of 2001.  Karl and I went to southern Iowa near Burlington and he
bought the car for $500.  It was rusted in half.  We installed new main
frame rails and most of the rest of the car was salvageable, minus some
sheet metal and doglegs.  It has had all of the rust cut out and new panels
welded in.  When I bought it last week it now has the following: rebuilt
gauges, re-cored radiator, new tires, all new suspension, new brake
calipers, rebuilt motor, rebuilt gearbox, rebuilt overdrive, new windshield
and much more. It now needs the body panels hung on it and the bodywork
completed as well as new wiring harness and exhaust installed.  I figure
another $6-7000 in parts and it will be on the road again.   I will do the
body work myself and have my brother in law paint it for beer.  Needless to
say,...the wife was not happy with the acquisition.  I told her it was a
good investment.  I will post pics soon.  Some older pics of the car can be
seen at healeyarchaeology.blogspot.com.  The pics of the car are at the
start of the blog.

Hi all,

Figured I should get a heritage certificate for my car.  The Heritage Motor
Centre offers a "heritage certificate" and a "heritage certificate plus
technical specification".  It sounds like the tech spec just means they tell
me all the specs for a 1960 BT7, which I probably have among all my Healey
books and manuals.  However, I wondered if it meant that it contains the tech
specs of my particular car, i.e. the options it came with etc. although I
though that was on the regular heritage certificate.  Can someone clarify the
difference between these for me -  thanks.

Hi, Mirek -

When I go to the Heritage website and click on the Certificate with
Technical Specification option, I get a notice that the "required category
is not available".  That may or may not be a temporary condition.  I
remember looking once at the difference between a certificate and a cert
with technical specification, and didn't really see any additional
information in the latter that would justify the extra cost.

Bernard provided an outline of the information on a typical certificate.
One thing to note:  the item "Destination (dealer)" for cars to the USA and
Canada gives the Port of Entry, not the dealer's name or even the city where
the car was first sold.  I have found that there is some confusion about
that among many BJ8 owners.

Hi all,

Figured I should get a heritage certificate for my car.  The Heritage Motor
Centre offers a "heritage certificate" and a "heritage certificate plus
technical specification".  It sounds like the tech spec just means they tell
me all the specs for a 1960 BT7, which I probably have among all my Healey
books and manuals.  However, I wondered if it meant that it contains the
tech specs of my particular car, i.e. the options it came with etc. although
I though that was on the regular heritage certificate.  Can someone clarify
the difference between these for me -  thanks.

Interesting, Bill.

After reading Steve's post I checked the copy of my OLD one hanging
here in Shop (price = $5.00<G>) it said nada.

BUT, I do recall that a later version (not handy & I think $35.00) DOES
say a TX POE with destination of Continental Cars, STL - Distributor.

Guess I need a 'new' one<VBG>!!

Thanks to all who replied to my post - I am still a bit confused between the 
two options offered by the Motor Heritage Trust.  The question remains - 
what is this "technical specification" option that  cost an extra 19 quid? 
Is it information specific to the car noted on the certificate, or generic 
information on the model (e.g., No. cyls, bore, stroke, displacement, etc.)?

Can you get the dash pot chamber of the front carby without taking the carby 
off?

We installed the DMD manifold on a friends BJ7 with HS8s and we can't pull 
the chamber.

Hi, Jeffrey -

Body, engine, gearbox and rear axle numbers.  Unless they have changed their
policy, if you cannot provide your VIN/chassis number BMIHT will search for
the records using a body or engine number at an extra cost.  They will not
search for a chassis number using only the gearbox or rear axle number, but
those numbers will be included on the certificate if found for your chassis
in their records.

Lin,
I put the manifold & Kirk headers on at same time. Together they're good for
a big seat-of-the pants increase in power. Ask Reid Trummel--he drove it at
Conclave in SD. Still has the Mk1 cam so probably limited because of that,
though I do have the high-lift rockers. Can't say as I felt any difference
between the HD6 & 8s though.

Extension is necessary for KN air filter due to rear carb intake flange
being exactly on top of slanted frame rail. Flange extends filter so it can
hang into the area above the master cyls.

The mechanical linkage required using the BJ8 firewall bracket and fabbing a
longer 5/16 rod as well as a couple of new shorter rods.

I have the [expensive] pieces necessary for the BJ8 dual choke cable setup,
but got lazy and decided to try it with the rear choke only. The car starts
so I may leave it that way.

Hi Steve,
I had thought about using the DMD intake on my restoration, but ultimately
decided against it. I have remained intrigued about the intake. I am not
sure that I understand why you had to make the extension for the carb to air
cleaner? Can you shed some light on that.

Have you run the car? Do you find a performance increase? Have you tested
it?

Your installation looks very nice. I had seen a similar set-up on a rally
car a couple of years ago. The owner used a throttle cable rather than the
mechanical linkage.
I did adopt the throttle cable on my car.

Bob,
See my reply to Lin Rose on the newsgroup for standoff reasoning.
On my website is another gallery showing the original modification of the
K&N filter. 
Basically I swapped the outside plates to the inside and on the rear moved
the hole down all the way against the filter. I blanked the outside holes
where you can't see them with pieces of aluminum pie plate.

This is strictly my interpretation, Mirek, but from what BMIHT says on their
website the additional information for the technical specification comes
BMIHT's "vast archive of original workshop and owner's manuals".  I wouldn't
expect to find any additional information unique to a particular vehicle in
those.  BMIHT says the purpose of the technical specification is to
supplement the certificate information when required to support licensing,
registration, or importation of a car.

I once received a request from a BJ8 owner in Japan to provide information
to convince the Japanese registration authorities to allow registration of
his car (which he had imported from England), since the information on the
certificate was not sufficient.  They needed the horsepower of the engine,
which was a "Gold Seal" factory replacement.  A letter on AHCA letterhead
from the BJ8 registry did the trick.  Perhaps this is the kind of stuff the
technical specification has.

Hi Rich!

Thanks so much for your reply.  One quick follow-up, if I may.  I've
been told on a few occasions that each car's body number ends up being
stamped somewhere on its bonnet assembly, though my eyes have never been
able to find one.  Do you know if this is the case, and if so, where
should I be looking?

Thanks so much!

Bill,

It's on the bonnet bracket that the hinge attaches to (left hand side).

Keith--
 
Have you checked with John Harper and Rich Chrysler who keep BN1  info?
 
 
I own BN1#222333--that's pretty close to your car.  I don't have my  
certificate available right now but remember my car's build date to be  approximately 
December 15, 1954.  Check back with me in a few weeks if you  want the precise 
date.

It seems to me the difference here is whether the car was specially ordered or
just part of a bulk delivery. For a special the factory may have known exactly
where it was going, whereas for a normal factory run they may only have known
it was going into the dealer network. My certificate just says USA.

Occasionally, a car will turn up that got out of the factory with its build
card in the glovebox instead of filed at the factory.  I've often wondered
if these cars could get a BMIHT certificate.

I believe that the certs are usually put together using the microfilmed
build card information.  I don't know about the models as early as a BN1,
but the 3000s have another record at BMIHT that is hand-written entries in a
series of large ledger books.  If you go to the BMIHT archives for research,
these ledger books are what they give you access to.  Maybe this would be
another source of manufacturing information.

Keith,
The John Harper list is on line www.jharper.demon.co.uk/chassis1.htm
and he has Michael4s car and for instance 222319,222321,222325 listed.I know 
the list is not quite up to date as I sent mine 230802 some time back and it 
isn4t listed yet.I4m sure he and Rich could help you get pretty close to a 
build date maybe cross checking with the body number if you have that.

Keith,

I own BN1L 222664 with batch/body number 5179/7197 with a build date of
January 11, 1955.  Carmine Red with a Black interior.

What are your batch/body numbers?

What were your original body and trim colors?

Is your boot badge "Austin of England " or Austin Healey.

You should have the later style aluminum chassis plate but mounted on the
foot well trim where the plastic plate used to be versus on the firewall
under the batch/body number plate.

I also know the owner (the second, who knew the first) of BN1L 222334,
5179/7085, 19K original miles from new.  A very original car!

BTW, I believe Michael Oritt's car was built 12-16-54

Cheers,

Most likely, the nut and "olive" that secure the stator tube at the 
steering box is loose (he's probably losing a lot of his steering fluid, 
too).

If not that, the trafficator telescopes within the stator tube for 
adjustment.  There is a slot in the stator and a metal nub that keeps 
the trafficator from rotating.  This may may be damaged, but I'd bet on 
the above.

That nut is tight.  I have also thought that the nub that keeps the tube from rotating is broken off somehow.  Thanks for the input.

Tom,

Sounds like the stator tube is loose.  Have someone rotate the whole 
mechanism while you look at the tube sticking out the front of the steering 
box.  If the tube rotates, then you've found the problem.  There should be 
a brass nut that the tube goes through. Underneath/behind the nut is an 
olive (compression fitting).  Tightening the nut should squeeze the olive 
locking the tube in place.

If the tube doesn't rotate, then I'm going to guess that the car has an 
adjustable steering wheel.  With the adjustable steering wheel, there are 
two stator tubes.  The long stator tube is clamped to the front of the 
steering box as described above.  The other end of the tube has a slot. 
The second stator tube is attached to the mechanism (trafficator), fits 
over the long tube and has a couple of ears that ride in the slot of the 
long tube.  The slot/ears allow the length of the stator tube assembly to 
change but not spin.  The corners at the end of the slot are pretty sharp 
and after 40 plus years, the long stator tube develops cracks.  After 
enough time the cracks get long enough that the tube fails or develops 
enough slop that the short stator tube is free to spin.

Close, I would say Bill.

There are 2 examples, signed by Anders, on my site in "List O' Links".
1 for a BJ-8 that proved the interior to the current (?) Owner and one for
a A-H Sprite Mark 1 (well documented that there NEVER was a 'Mark 1'<G>) and
that Owner (at the time) had NO clue that a] it was a Canadian car and b]
much less that it was Leaf Green and came WITH a black HT!!

Can't locate quickly the copy of one I got for a present from BF that stated
the Frogeye IS a Nevada Beige one (currently "RESTORED" by a very
'knowledgeable' Healey guy (her ex) in RE-SALE RED!!!   Aaaarrrgggg!!!!
It is actually RARER than a 100S !!!!!

Idiot.

Ed,

So you say that a Nevada (Whitehall) Beige Bugeye is rarer that a 100S?  Do
you mean less that 50 made in this color?

If so, and given the last selling price for a 100S, I'm accepting bids
stating at $600K. ;)

It has 54K original miles and is all original to include the red rubber
floor mats, that have seen better days.

Cheers,

Curt

I have a complete Radiomobile AM radio, pushbutton, made in England, 
positive ground, etc.  I am guessing it is late 50s or early to mid sixties 
at the latest, it looks like it was made for underdash mount rather than 
in-dash, was going to E-bay it but thought someone might like it for proper 
period look radio for their Healey

It is complete with all knobs, it does not appear to work, (pushbuttons do 
what they are supposed to do,but no sound to speakers) . It is certainly not 
pristine, but might clean up OK with a serious clean and polish I can take 
some pictures if there is any interest and post a link to my photobucket 
account.

Sorry about this. Your car is on our database but not at present on our 
WEB listing. It is not a massive job but it does take time to transfer 
newly received chassis numbers from the database to our WEB site. I 
therefore do this in batches because it takes little more time to 
transfer say 10 as a single one.

I am a bit overdue with this so will get to it shortly. Yours will then 
be 'visible'.

Also due to be added are a significant number kindly provided by Rich 
Chrysler. Adding these will take a little longer because I wish to add a 
marker to these that will let people know that Rich holds the more 
detailed records.

Regards

Dallas,
I know of a nice BN1 in the Chicago area that is for sale. 
Don't know
much about the car other than this. 
Purchased after 2002, won a "People's
Choice" at Open Roads in Lake Tahoe 2002. Owner passed away  about 2 years
ago, widow would like to sell for 
something in the upper $30's. The car has
not been driven since his death, I did start the car for her about a month
ago, all it needed was a battery chare to get it started. I did not drive it
as it is tucked away in the garage. 
Let me know if you are interested and I
can get you contact info. 
Bob

Dan -

I just called them Monday to sort out my A90.  They've been on holiday
for a month but are back now.  I don't think they get emails, probably
some sort of spam filter problem.

They tend to answer the phone early morning - try 9am their time.  If
you are able to get a hold of them, they are exceptionally helpful.
They are working a custom solution for my A90 which has a weird
Tecalemit head for no extra charge - highly recommended.

He is absolutlly appreciated here.  I only wish there was a way that
the workload wouldn't fall to one person.  Wiki's would be great (I
know MJB started on) but after looking at it I'm not smart enough to
understand collabortive websites.

THANKS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE BUILT JOHN!!!!

I placed an order about 2 months ago and hadn't recieved anything, so I sent an email.  A couple weeks later, I recieved a reply that explained they'd lost my order.  I'm giving them one more try.

These adapters are a  simple part that can be had from pretty much  
all suppliers.

As much as some will bitch about Moss, they'll likely have it and  
send it out same day.
In San Diego I get Moss orders delivered next-day.

Keith,

As stated by others, we have numbers in the Registry very close to 222324 
but not that number. The car would have likely been built about 15 December, 
1954 and would probably have been part of batch 5141 or possibly the next 
batch 5179 ( there was a batch transition going on in that number area) and 
the body number would have likely been in the high 6800's.
Interestingly, BN1 222307 was an export car shipped to Melbourne, so your 
car was likley on the same boat.
Sorry I can't be of any more assistance than this.

What do you use to replace the rubber under the chrome trim, between the trim
and glass?   Mine is very cracked!

This is for the large gauges.

Hello,

Anyone out there in Germany? There is a pretty big article & test of the
various rustproofing articles in the issue. My German is too poor to
understand it, but I would love to learn the conclusions.. It looks long and
very wxhaustive. 

Anyone here on the list has the issue and knows German?..

Thanks, Tadek

Hello Tadek,
It was in Oldtimer Markt magazine. I read the article. There are no
conclusions so far. It is a test which just started and will run over 12
months time. So we may have the results in 1 year or perhaps a first
indication in 1/2 year. We need to wait for that. But last time Mike Sanders
grease http://mike.british-cars.de/english.htm was the test winner. So I
assume it will be within the first  three in the test again.
I did my cars with Mike Sanders, but can only say I feel good using it.

Hello,

Anyone out there in Germany? There is a pretty big article & test of the
various rustproofing articles in the issue. My German is too poor to
understand it, but I would love to learn the conclusions.. It looks long
and
very wxhaustive.

For our members around the Houston, Galveston, Baytown, La Porte area...

Please pack up immediately and GET OUT!  Dallas or San Antonio should be
safe. Please don't take a chance on this storm. I am a retired meteorologist
and can say with some surety that Ike is going to absolutely hammer the
area!  Worst conditions will be from Freeport up through Galveston and on
through High Island but things will be just as bad when the storm surge
moves into Galveston Bay and the Houston ship channel. If you stay in those
areas...   well......

Across Houston the storm surge will not be so much of a problem but
torrential rains and hurricane winds will cause major flooding and lots of
roof and tree damage. Power will be out for a long time and food and water
will become critical.

Please don't take a chance on this one, folks....   This is the most
dangerous storm for the Houston area I have seen in my 42 years as a
meteorologist and I lived in Houston for 3 years!!   Please pack up and
leave NOW!

A very concerned Spridgeteer,
--
Cheers!!
Jim

What works for that is the round rubber tubing used to hold screens into
screen doors.  You can get it at most Home Depots or the like in various
sizes.

What do you use to replace the rubber under the chrome trim, between the
trim
and glass?   Mine is very cracked!

This is for the large gauges.

Message-ID: <13101227.777561221187479381.JavaMail.root@vms170009.mailsrvcs.net>

Is there any secret or trick to aligning the catches on the door frames to the closing mechanism on the door?  My frames were replaced in the restoration of the body.  The pre-drilled holes in the door frames seem to be about 3/4 of an inch too high.  The door is perfectly aligned with the other body panels, so moving the door to align with the catch would throw off the lines of the car.

The only solution I see is to drill new holes in the door frames.  Is there any alternative?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Hey List check this out.
One of my concerns has been that eventually we classic car enthusiasts will come under fire from the environmental movement for the use of our technologically archaic, polluting, internal combustion devices and that fuel could become so expensive that driving anywhere could be prohibitive. I think this article offers hope in solving many, many problems faced by mankind out of control, the least of them being appeasing us Healey fiends. The comments following are also very interesting. 
Anyone tried to convert a Healey to run on hydrogen? It could become a future trend!
I first read this article over a month ago and find it interesting that I've not seen it mentioned in the general media.

Jackson -

Not sure if this makes you feel any better but one of the professors that
"discovered" global warming has basically said because of the developing
world (i.e. China and India) and that fossil fuels mostly come from the
Middle East and Russia that burning fossil fuels will ultimately make no
difference looking to the future with respect to CO2 reduction, because
it'll all get burned anyway.

He said basically that the most effective way to reduce CO2 as a result is
to focus on Coal energy use and either reducing its use or CO2 reinjection,
although in my opinion it's just easier to go to nuclear, hydro, wind or
solar than trying to pump CO2 into the ground, having done something similar
in the past it's a bit of a sketchy thing.

G'day

Sure Alan. I'm just 3ft 6in and have size 3 1/2 shoes. That's why the pedals
of the BN3 are built up with wood.

There is an interesting piece of Australian history here. When the ANZAC
soldiers arrived in England in 1915 the average Australian and New Zealand
digger was 2 to 3 inches taller than their British and French counterpart.
This was put down to the extra sunshine and better food down under.

That makes the average British Austin-Healey owner no taller than 3ft 4ins.

Bill,
     I have been going through this for the last 2 weeks.   Wish I had your 
problems.  I would much rather drill  new holes or grind the old ones larger 
than to put up with doors that DO NOT aline
no matter what you try.
    There is quite a bit of adjusting leeway since the holes are oval rather 
than a circle.   Do the aluminum threshold plates line up with the new door 
jams?    A dremel tool or drill with a couple of grinding bits worked for 
me.  Most adjustments or new
holes will be covered up by the chrome plates or aluminum trim anyway.
Don't forget to install the shim or shims behind the latch.  These do help 
center the latch in and out which is important for the final fit.
   This is a time consuming, fiddly job.  So do a little at a time with some 
breaks (or days) in between.
   Your latches are a little different than my BT7  but the procedure is the 
same.

Mark

For years I've had a chronic low rpm miss usually
present below 1500 rpm. Nothing I tried relieved it. A
few days ago I replaced an Allison (Crane) electronic

I drove over to see this car last night with a friend that might have been 
interested.  Some of you flagged if on Craigslist.  It is a real car and the 
price is what is stated.  There are a few problems.

The car came from Ohio, they bought it over the internet.  The paint is new, 
yep, went right over that old paint and rust bubbles.   The frame is a bit 
of Swiss cheese.  The outriggers are gone.  The sales guy thought that you 
could weld in new outriggers, but I think there is not enough metal left to 
weld.

The sales guy finally asked what I thought it was worth.  I told him that 
the car would have to be stripped and a new frame put on.  He then mentioned 
that he might ship it over to England as he could get his money back with 
the sales differential.    So, keep an eye out for a red , rusty, BJ8.

I finally got everything to line up but am having trouble with the latches.
In order to get the doors to shut I have to slam the door hard.  I'm
thinking I should weld the latch that hock into the door studs and then
drill them out to fit better.

 A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, "I clocked you
at 80 miles per hour, sir."The driver says, "Gee, officer I had it on cruise
control at 60, perhaps your radar gun needs calibrating."Not looking up from
her knitting the wife says: "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car
doesn't have cruise control."As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver
looks at his wife andgrowls, "Can't you please keep your mouth shut for
once?"The wife smiles demurely and says "You should be thankful your
radardetector went off when it did."As the officer makes out the 2nd ticket
for the illegal radar detectorunit, the man glowers at his wife and says
through clenched teeth, "Damn it, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut?" The
officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing yourse at belt,
sir. That's an automatic $75 fine."The driver says, "Yeah, well, you see
officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could
get my license out of my back pocket."The wife says, "Now dear, you know very
well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt
while you're driving."And as the police officer is writing out the 3rd ticket
the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU PLEASE SHUT UP???"The
officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to
you this way, Ma'am?"Love This Part..."Only when he's been drinking."

If anyone cares, the BJ8 registry has a record of this car back through four
owners in Ohio and Missouri to at least March, 1969.
Anyone who goes to look at a BJ8 to buy or anything else would be a great
help if they could let me know.  I might have some info on the car that
could be a help or at least of interest to the person looking.

I know I haven't seen it all, but this surprised me.

Coming home from a visit to the grandkids in Portland, OR, (funny. I always
manage to visit the weekend of the All British Field Meet), I went to make
my pre boarding pit stop at the airport.

There standing at a urinal was a man directing his steam with one hand, and

Yes, truly tragic. A Healey without a heritage certificate is obviously not
worth having. Just tell me where to send the truck and I will dispose of it
for you for a nominal fee...

Subject: [Healeys] friday funny -- George and Esther
Message-ID: <514B7EDA99B7439E86FAA344AB6D4B1B@ElComputero>

George and his wife Esther went to the state fair every year, and every year 
George would say,  'Esther, I'd sure like to ride in that helicopter.' 
Esther always replied, 'I know George, but that helicopter ride is fifty 
dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'

One year Esther and George went to the fair, and George said,  'Esther, I'm 
92 years old. If I don't ride that helicopter, I might never get another 
chance'      To this, Esther replied, 'George that helicopter ride is fifty 
dollars, and fifty dollars is fifty dollars.'

The pilot overheard the couple and said, 'Folks I'll make you a deal. I'll 
take the both of you for a ride.  If you can stay quiet for the entire ride 
and not say a word, I won't charge you!  But if you say one word, it's fifty 
dollars.'

George and Esther agreed and up they went. The pilot did all kinds of fancy 
maneuvers, but not a word was heard.   He did his daredevil tricks over and 
over again, but still not a  word.

When they landed, the pilot turned to George and said,  'By golly, I did 
everything I could to get you to yell out, but you didn't.. I'm impressed!'
George replied, 'Well, to tell you the truth, I almost said something when 
Esther fell out, but you know, fifty dollars is fifty dollars!'

I asked Margaret at MOMA that question and she said that the chrome to glass
seal is not available and what they are using is a thin rubber extrusion that
comes on a bobbin like yarn. she puts about three wraps of the stuff into the
recess on the chrome ring, sandwiches it with the glass and clamps it onto the
instrument case. She gave me enough to do the gauges on my Land Rover and it
was a pretty simple fix.

Message-ID: <9C695BDD498949FBAAFBEA96F72344E3@DC2LDS61>

Hi all,

            Got a question about 6 volt battery mounting.  I'm in the middle
of the re-assembly portion of a frame off restoration of my BN7 and it's
getting time to mount my batteries.  I've got the new aluminum battery trays
but I don't know how they were affixed to the support mounts.  I see no
previous weld marks and no screw holes.  I've got two buddies in my car club
who also have BN7's but they either bought the car or changed to one 12 volt
years ago so they were no help.  Does anybody know how the trays were
affixed to the supports and batteries held in the trays?  Any help would be
great!



Regards,

Steve Meyer

Steve ... If you go on our web and down load our catalog Rare and hard to find parts then go to page 8 and look at what we have for the 12volt OPTIMA battery and see if this would help you ..

Hi Steve,

On the BN6 and BN7 two seaters they of course were originally fitted with 
twin 6 volt batteries. The trays simply sit on the support brackets. The 
batteries sit in the trays. There are a pair of J shaped rods whose lower 
ends of the hooked J fit into slotted brackets welded to the frame. The rods 
run up through the holes in the bottom of the trays, and through the moulded 
top flanges of the batteries, then rubber flat washers, steel flat washers 
and nuts tighten gently against the top of the battery flanges. With the 
batteries securely fastened in place, the trays won't move.

Thanks to all for their response on mig welding the aluminum shroud. After

Thanks to suggestions of a couple of listers, I replaced the diaphragm and
the needle/seat, and I'm back in business.   Taking the carb apart was easy,
the really, really hard part was getting them on and off the car.   It was
almost impossible to see and reach the lower bolts, especially the lower
inner bolts.

I had to remove both carbs to get one off.   Is this always the case?  Is it
possible to remove one without removing both?

The difficulty I'm having now is getting the two choke cables to pull evenly
-- the enrichment at the back carb is much stronger that at the front
carb.    I'm having trouble getting my hands where they need to be to get
the cables adjusted properly.    Does anyone have a tip for getting both
carbs to do the same thing when you pull the choke?

thanks again,

Tom

Tom,


Others will likely chime in, but here's my HO:

Because of the throttle interconnect, you pretty much have to remove 
both carbs simultaneously.  I think if you don't you risk side loads on 
the bushings or even bending the shafts trying to contort one carb off 
the manifold. 

The funky choke mechanism on the HD8s have been discussed quite a bit on 
this list (usually, it's trouble getting the choke activation arms to 
return--supplemental springs are one approach).   There is no magic 
bullet; you just have to get everything as clean, lightly lubed (I like 
silicone oil for this) and smooth-working as possible.  Make sure 
there's no binding in the cables (from the knob to the choke arms), the 
choke/throttle augment mechanism operates smoothly and that both cables 
are set the same, with just a little slack.  If the cables don't pull 
evenly the result will be that the bar that connects both cables to the 
single cable to the knob will be cocked in its bracket (on the firewall).

As for removing/installing the carbs, all I can offer is to reach under 
the carbs from the front and use a stubby open-end wrench (don't think a 
ratcheting box-end will fit, unfortunately).  It's when I do this job 
I'm glad I have small hands (but big feet ;)

Subject: [Healeys] MIG welding aluminum shroud
Message-ID: <115C4BD92C4147BD81DCC5ADFC90B842@FrankPC>

Hi Gary,  I missed seeing this thread, so I haven't seen any of the responses
except this one, so I'm probably covering old ground.

I very successfully TIG welded some cracks in my rear shroud several years
ago.  It was a large Miler square wave machine, but they do make smaller
machines as well.  Came out really nice.

Miller claims you can MIG weld aluminum, but I haven't tried it.  I have a
Miller Challenger MIG welder that I've used for welding steel on my Healey.
Really nice welder if tyou are looking to buy a MIG welder.  I believe you can
get a spool of aluminim wire for it, but as I said I haven't tried it.

Whatever you do, practice on alot of scrap before you try welding the shroud.

I don't remember the alloy used on the shrouds  I think the designation was
different than what we use today.  I was going to use 6061T6 alloy for a
repair on my front shroud, but I haven't done it yet.  Be careful with
aluminum alloys if you weld in a patch with new material; some are weldable,
some are not.

<Thanks to all for their response on mig welding the aluminum shroud. After
reading the responses, I didn't feel that it would practical. Then a  lister,
Richard Pratt, offered to discuss it at length via telephone.  Rich  spent a
lot of time, trial and error mig welding his shroud. He shared  his findings
with me and I  am going to give it a shot.

It will be a little while but when finished, I will share my findings with
the list.

Subject: [Healeys] Brake servo repair
Message-ID: <1A10ED730D1849E6953C1B2FE556468B@FrankPC>

I am in the process of rebuilding the brake servo on my '65 BJ8 and have a few
questions for the list.

The body of the vacuum cylinder has Girling stamped in it, so I bought the
Girling kit. However, looking at the pictures in the shop manual, it shows a
unit where the back of the drum is just a flat plate held to the servo drum by
about 6 screws.  Wish I had this unit as it would come apart very easily.

My unit must be a later one as it is one of those that the two pieces are held
together by a serrated band.  You twist the two halves to line up the
serrations and the unit comes apart.  I have rebuilt a similar unit on a
Triumph Stag but on that unit there are mounting lugs on both halves; you put
the unit in a vise and I made a tool to pick up the lugs on the other half;
came apart pretty easily.

Q1.  On this unit, there is really nothing to grab on to to twist the two
halves apart.  The only way I see to do it is to put the whole thing in a
large vise, push down with your full body weight to unload the spring between
the two halves and then put a large band clamp around it and hopefully it will
twist apart.

Has anybody done this before and does anybody have any suggestions for getting
it apart?

Q2.  I bought the rebuild kit from British Car Specialsts in Stockton, CA.  I
believe this is Norman and David Nocks outfit?  Unfortunately they are closed
today; hopefully you're on the list this w/e. :)

The kit appears to be for the early Girling unit.  Is there a kit for the
later Girling unit, or are they the same kit?  The vacuum cylinder looks to be
the same as the early unit judging from the pictures in the manual; maybe the
only difference is the rear half of the drum and the seals for it?  Hopefully
I didn't buy the wrong kit.

Thanks in advance,

Frank,

I'm glad you wrote the List.  I bought one of the "banded" units for a 
replacement/spare for my original Girling, which has the screw-attached 
cover for the vacuum chamber.  I'll offer whatever info I can, but I 
have a favor to ask in return ;)

As far as opening the canister, I had no luck trying to twist them apart 
(doesn't mean it can't be done, though).  I ended up cutting the band 
with a cutoff tool, then welding two nuts on either end.  On one nut I 
drilled out the threads so a suitably sized bolt would go through and 
engage the threads of the other, thus pulling the band tight.  I think 
this setup will work but, unfortunately I haven't re-assembled the unit 
because the rubber elbow to the metal vacuum pipe broke and I haven't 
devised a suitable fix (my other unit is working fine so there's no 
imperative to do so).

The main difference between the two types of servos--besides their 
construction--is that the (semi-) sealed unit uses a metal piston with a 
rubber diaphragm instead of the metal piston with leather/rubber seal 
around the edge.  This is either a) a better way to do it, b) cheaper, 
c) neither or d) both (my guess is "b").   I have a feeling this type is 
meant to be replaced rather than rebuilt.

The other is a slight difference in the externals and internals of the 
body (note there are two cylinders: a slave which is used to operate a 
valve which gates either atmospheric air or vacuum (non-braked 
condition) to the vacuum chamber, and the M/C, which applies the 
pressure to the wheel cylinders).  On the metal/leather/rubber 
piston-type unit, the tip of the "conrod" from the vacuum piston seals 
the  M/C piston when brakes are applied and releases allowing fluid to 
back-flow when brakes are released.  On the diaphragm-type, there is a 
small ball bearing which I believe is part of this check-valve setup.  
Here comes the favor:  when I disassembled my unit, the check-valve fell 
out and I didn't see EXACTLY how it is installed so, if you do get your 
unit apart watch carefully for the location of this ball bearing and 
please, let me know where it goes.

The rebuild kit you bought should provide all the parts you need, and 
then some (you won't need the rubber/leather seal for the vacuum piston, 
for instance).  There are seals for both fluid cylinders, the gasket to 
seal the vacuum canister to the servo body and new copper sealing 
washers for the bolts that attach the vacuum canister to the servo body 
(most kits don't provide new valves for the air/vacuum "switch;" yours 
are probably OK).  Ironically, if you could get to the bolts attaching 
the canister to the body without opening the canister you probably 
wouldn't need to open the vacuum canister at all; I think the rubber 
diaphragm should last a long time and there's nothing you can do to 
service or replace it anyway (this type doesn't need the dry lube on the 
inside of the canister as the perimeter of the diaphragm is pinched to 
between the two halves of the canister).

If you get the cylinders sleeved, make sure your rebuilder does not 
media blast within the air/vacuum valve area; it'll muck up the machined 
surface (I don't think it's necessary to blast them regardless, but most 
rebuilders do because they want to clean them up and it looks pretty).  
Otherwise, just clean everything and reassemble. 

I've tried to find the history of these units, but can only find 
documentation on the early unit (the most info I got was from the 
Victoria British catalog).  Like you mentioned, I think the sealed-band 
type is a later replacement design.

good idea!; I'll have to look into that if I can't get it apart;  I wonder 
if that part of the servo holds vacuum and if your idea would still hold 
vacuum or distort the drum?

Hi Bob; no problem; I'll take a few pictures when I get it apart.

hopefully this rebuild kit will work.  I'll call British Car Specialists on
Monday.  I sure would like to replace the diaprahm as long as I'm in there.
On the Stag kit, it had the diaphram, but the drums are a different
diameter.

I've drained at least a pint of brake fluid out of it so far, and there is
still quite a bit sloshing around inside.

On further thought regarding (my words):

"Ironically, if you could get to the bolts attaching the canister to the 
body without opening the canister you probably wouldn't need to open the 
vacuum canister at all; I think the rubber diaphragm should last a long 
time and there's nothing you can do to service or replace it anyway 
(this type doesn't need the dry lube on the inside of the canister as 
the perimeter of the diaphragm is pinched to between the two halves of 
the canister). "



I think this is not entirely correct; what often fails on these servos 
is the "gland seal" which seals around the conrod from the vacuum piston 
to the M/C piston.  They either wear so they don't seal properly or get 
brittle and crack from age and non-use; either way this allows brake 
fluid into the vacuum canister which can find its way into the intake 
manifold.  If I recall correctly, you have to "break" the vacuum 
canister from the servo body to get at this seal.

Guess it is nice to have 2 x 6 volts in the BN7 but I have a 12V in mine now
and is much cleaner to operate with...It is on the driver side. Just an
opinion.

and, I agree re Norm: he is a definite asset on this board and in his shop. I
don't ever see what I would call a sales pitch from him, just an offer of what
you may need, which he usually has. I am sorry I didn't get to his Stockton
shop while I was in Tracy, having bailed out of Calif on June 30 for cheaper
pastures here in Kentucky.

I think you're right and that is exactly the reason I pulled the servo; 
fluid emptying from the reservoir into the cannister.  The seal between the 
hydraulic and vacuum sections is bad and is letting fluid into the vacuum 
section, which is getting sucked into the engine through the vacuum hose and 
burned through the exhaust.  Lots of white smoke for a few minutes and brake 
fluid smell.  Thanks to the list for identifying the problem a few months 
back.

Guys, from what your explaining I think you may possibly have the Girling Mk 
2b units. Common on the MGC. Kits are not cheap!!!! The N.A. MGC has two 
booster units (ouch) Do your repair  kits have a replacement band? as you 
have to cut off the original type, or you may already have the replacement 
band which has a screw that tightens the band . What are the numbers on the 
alum housing ? I can check mine at the shop.

Wow,

            I just want to thanks Rich and everyone else for their input.
You know, Ive been working on this car for 2 = years and never noticed the
V cut outs in the battery support brackets.  I knew it would be some
simple set up.  By the way, Ive been on the Healey distribution mailing
list since June and have thoroughly enjoyed reading all the articles and
just want to say that this sight is fantastic for a novice like me.



Thanks again!

Hi all,

            Got a question about 6 volt battery mounting.  Im in the middle
of the re-assembly portion of a frame off restoration of my BN7 and its
getting time to mount my batteries.  Ive got the new aluminum battery trays
but I dont know how they were affixed to the support mounts.  I see no
previous weld marks and no screw holes.  Ive got two buddies in my car club
who also have BN7s but they either bought the car or changed to one 12 volt
years ago so they were no help.  Does anybody know how the trays were
affixed to the supports and batteries held in the trays?  Any help would be
great!



Regards,

Steve Meyer

Hi Carroll,

The only numbers I can find on my servo is "5/8 Girling" and "CC5" on 
the servo body (nothing on the vacuum canister).

The kits Frank and I have are for earlier (I think) units that have the 
canister with the removable plate and leather/rubber tube piston seals.  
All the parts (gaskets, seals, etc.) fit except there is no replacement 
band and no diaphragm.  I cut my metal band then welded a couple of nuts 
on the band so I can reuse it.  My diaphragm appears to be in good 
shape, I just need the rubber elbow that connects the canister to the 
metal pipe that goes to the air/vacuum valve.

Do you know where the small ball bearing that fell out of mine goes and 
what it's for (the earlier units don't have it)?

Thanks,
Bob

ps.  the other kits ain't "cheap"either; about $80 for seals, a couple 
gaskets and some copper washers

According to the manual, the servo should be rebuilt or replaced every 
40,000 miles!

We're all doing that, right?

Richard,

Does she know any names associated with the car back in Canada in the '80's? 
Our Southern Ontario chapter has been active since it's formation in August 
of '76, so there's a good chance.....

Hi Richard,
We first met on the list back in January of '07 when you were first getting
started on your car.
I think we also met at Conclave in Vermont.  Was it you who asked me if I

I have a buddy who just rebuilt his Dad's Healey's brakes. He did  everything 
brand new and is using silicon brake fluid. Anyway he drove it around  the 
block a couple of times and it was fine, but when his Dad drove it the  brakes 
would lock up and stay locked. He think he has traced the problem to the

Subject: [Healeys] Targa Newfoundland--Prologue
Message-ID: <8CAE4BDF8F8F305-614-4254@FWM-M16.sysops.aol.com>

Today (Sunday)?was the first day of running, actually called the "Prologue", an opportunity?to shake down both the cars and teams.

Michael Salter (driver) and I (navigator)?departed St. John's late morning and ran four "Transits"?(on open public roads at legal speeds, etc.) which?connected together three Targa stages (on roads?closed to the public at high speeds). for a total of around 75 km.

The Healey (a heavily modified pre-production 100 bearing the designation ANX 12, which I shall hereafter?refer to as?"12") performed faultlessly.? Some of you remember that during last year's Targa we were plagued with rear axle and suspension problems and the modifications to?both that Michael?made?since?then?seem to have made a difference as we were not bottoming out in any of the compressions (rear potholes) for which Newfoundland is famous.??Driver and navigator seem to be communicating?well (though I did?transpose one instruction) and we stayed both on course and on time.

Today was merely?practice and tomorrow we start the Targa in earnest during which?times, speeds, etc.are for real.? We're on the road for the week making overnight stops?in Gander,?Clarenville and?Marystown before our return to Saint John's and the event's conclusion on Friday.? Only a couple thousand km's to go!

I'll try to post some email notes as time and internet access (both often?limited) allow.

Best--Michael Oritt?

Hmmm. Years ago I would say that, considering I rebuilt the brakes, they
were good and if my dad had problems, it would be my Dad's fault. Now, I
rebuilt my brakes they are good and my son has problems with them. Whose
fault is it now?? My son's. Never admit your mistakes.

Never forget that the slightest little thing can cause a brake foul up. In
my case it was forgetting to put the spring washer back into the master
cylinder that caused me to pump quarts of fluid through trying to find the
air bubble that never existed. Thank God I still use DOT 3-4 rather than
silicon which would certainly have bankrupted me before the stock market
could.

As any kid on a long trip will say, are we having fun yet? No, says his
sister, Are we there yet?. And I say to both. Be quiet or I will send you
back to your parents. This is the magic of Healeydom.

At the risk of sounding like a school marm, could we please use the 
correct term(s) when discussing technical issues?

Silicon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon) is a hard, brittle 
silvery metal used most notably in the construction of integrated circuits.

Silicone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone) is a fluid or rubbery 
compound--yes, made from silicon--that is used for lubrication 
(including brake fluid) and in various rubber-type products.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Yep, this was a big help.  Unfortunately, the page describing the 
function of the ball is missing from the doc; apparently, it's part of a 
piston design that eliminates the "clunk" my MK 2A booster makes when 
brakes are applied.

This doc is a gold mine.

   Also,  it was interesting that there are several versions of the servo

Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive Question
Message-ID: <0CE9FCA6AF3DB74CA0AE50B823FA5B18202E17@na1ecm30.ecc2.ford.com>

Taking a close look at my overdrive unit, I noticed a washer that didn't
look right.  I'm an overdrive novice but I think the washer makes a
difference.  It's the copper washer for the bolt that holds pressure on
a spring and ball.  (It's item number 91 on page 60 of the current Moss
catalog)

The inside diameter of the washer is too small to sit down on the
shoulder of the bolt head and the outside diameter is too big to sit
inside the recessed area of the OD housing.  I'm pretty sure this will
cause less pressure on the spring and ball assembly.  Because my car
hasn't run in over a decade, I have no way to test it's operation.

Can anyone tell me what that bolt - spring - ball and valve assembly
does and how it will affect the overdrive?  Also, does anyone know where
I can get a new washer or what the dimensions of the washer is so I can
make one.

Thanks,

The sticking brake booster...one of my most negative memories after working on Austin Healeys for 40+ years! There are a bunch of items that can cause the problem but most often it is the failure of the vacuum piston and seal to return home.  A poorly prepared can, improper lubricant, too thick a packing under the leather seal are the usual issues in the vac can. Of course there are other issues like bad air valves, springs or seats, faulty cylinder bores or an assembly issue that may not cause locked brakes but do cause a lot of grief.  Maybe I'm just getting old but I swore off rebuilding Girling brake servos 15 years ago.  I send them all to Power Brake Exchange in CA and haven't had a problem since.

Hi Carroll, you're right, they are the Girling Mk2b units.  I cannot get mine
apart, so I may cut off the band, and do like Bob suggests if I can squeeze
the two halves together.  Or, I may opt for the Lockheed replacement which
isn't cheap either...

Is a replacement band available thru MGC sources?

Thanks,
Frank

<Guys, from what your explaining I think you may possibly have the Girling Mk

PBR in Australia makes (still makes?) a fantastic replacement unit for
about half the cost of the lockheed unit.  Works great - been on my
BJ8 for 15 years & 50K miles - no probs.  I think the model number is
VH 44 B.  You can get them from the healey factory in melbourne.

The manual says to connect the booster, start the engine and use

Message-ID: <ff59076c0809142327n481aae06gc93834a04f1d6ba3@mail.gmail.com>

RAWDAWGS -

I had some time to think about this, and I think I know what it is.

The brake booster rebuild kits usually come with a rubber seal for the
vacuum piston that is too thick.  You have to cut these seals in half,
otherwise it can lock the brakes in the on position.  The way you can check
it (sometimes) is when the brakes lock up, if you tap the vacuum cylinder
with a screwdriver handle or small rubber mallot  (VERY GENTLY!  You don't
want to dent the vacuum chamber!) and the brakes come loose, this is your
problem.

Only way to fix this is to take the thing out, pull out the vacuum piston,
pull off the rubber seal (located under the leather seal) and cut it in
half.  To be honest, you almost don't need this seal - it works best when it
has very light pressure on the leather seal.

When I rebuilt the old booster on my BJ8 several years ago, I had to cut it
down twice (first I cut it only 1/4 off the seal and it still stuck -
finally cutting it in half worked).

Carroll and all,

As well as Powertrack there is J & L Spares who do exchanges on rebuilt
pistons and also have improved rubber seals fot the mk2a and lockheeds:

http://jlspares.co.uk/sealkits.htm

and also Past parts (who also resleeve all types of cylinders):

http://www.pastparts.co.uk/reman.htm

Past parts are cheapest in uk for rebuilt units, still need to get my rebuilt,
the last owner lightly cleaned the cylinder and took of all the lubricant!

cheers Andy

Message-ID: <20080915074937.657@web011.roc2.bluetie.com>

My water outlet fitting is stuck on the inboard stud. The outboard boss
(towards the front of the car) is loose.
The cover/boss is resistant to my attempts with PB Blaster and propane torch
treatment.
Any recommendations on how to remove?
Is the original part worth trying to save even if part of the outlet lip is
badly corroded?
I'm ready to hack at it with Demel tool disc and carbide bits. I have the Moss
reproduction part.

Well, I finally wrestled the tranny and overdrive out of the car and installed a new clutch.  Upon inspecting the interior of the bell housing, I noticed the oil seal around the 1st motion shaft is failing.  It was installed by a PO badly as it has a few dents on the metal lip of the seal - probably hammered in without protecting it.  This has the effect of keeping my garage floor well lubricated.

So, the question is - how difficult is it to remove the old one and install a new one?  How does one get the old seal out?  Do I need to separate the bell housing and transmission to properly get to the seal?  I'm assuming I'll need (in addition to a new seal) the gasket set (assume Moss).  There is a buffer pad that Moss doesn't carry.  Is that something I'd need to replace?

As always, I appreciate the collective wisdom of the List and await your responses.

Burt

The sticking brake booster...one of my most negative memories after working
on Austin Healeys for 40+ years! There are a bunch of items that can cause
the problem but most often it is the failure of the vacuum piston and seal
to return home.  A poorly prepared can, improper lubricant, too thick a
packing under the leather seal are the usual issues in the vac can. Of
course there are other issues like bad air valves, springs or seats, faulty
cylinder bores or an assembly issue that may not cause locked brakes but do
cause a lot of grief.  Maybe I'm just getting old but I swore off rebuilding
Girling brake servos 15 years ago.  I send them all to Power Brake Exchange
in CA and haven't had a problem since.

Can you possibly explain further?  Are you talking about the brass water tap
on the right side of a 6 cylinder motor, or the water valve that's on top of
the heater?  If you are talking about the 6 cyl engine tap, what do you mean
by "inboard stud" ?  Do you mean the stud towards the back of the car or the
front?

Sorry for the 20 questions but your description is really hard to follow.

Thanks,

Today (Sunday)?was the first day of running, actually called the
"Prologue", an opportunity?to shake down both the cars and teams.

Michael Salter (driver) and I (navigator)?departed St. John's late morning
and ran four "Transits"?(on open public roads at legal speeds, etc.)
which?connected together three Targa stages (on roads?closed to the public at
high speeds). for a total of around 75 km.

The Healey (a heavily modified pre-production 100 bearing the designation ANX
12, which I shall hereafter?refer to as?"12") performed faultlessly.?
Some of you remember that during last year's Targa we were plagued with rear
axle and suspension problems and the modifications to?both that
Michael?made?since?then?seem to have made a difference as we were not bottoming
out in any of the compressions (rear potholes) for which Newfoundland is
famous.??Driver and navigator seem to be communicating?well (though I
did?transpose one instruction) and we stayed both on course and on time.

Today was merely?practice and tomorrow we start the Targa in earnest during
which?times, speeds, etc.are for real.? We're on the road for the week
making overnight stops?in Gander,?Clarenville and?Marystown before our return to
Saint John's and the event's conclusion on Friday.? Only a couple
thousand km's to go!

I'll try to post some email notes as time and internet access (both
often?limited) allow.

Yes, please keep the posts coming, as I am sure I speak for many 
when I say I'm living vicariously through you and Salter (the Michaels).

Got it!  Sorry for my confusion.

I'd pull the head and have a machine shop deal with it.  I know it's a pain
but if you snap off the stud you are going to have to pull the head anyway.

Yes they are the same company, if you look at the bottom of the page on the
link I sent you, just above the home page button it links to the .com site,
would suggest email them for correct price for whatever you require and tell
them they have different prices. I quess the dot com site is aimed at
international buyers and the uk site for us gentlemen / speaker of the Queen's
English, lol. Not implying anything on you foreigners!!!

I finally got the OD unit onto the gearbox and installed over the weekend. I
took the car for a test drive and the OD unit would not engage.  The solenoid
worked fine.  Therefore, I figured there was a hydraulic issue. I got a hold
of a service manual and decided to pull off the solenoid bracket and take out
the pump valve. I also took out the one on the right side of the OD unit.
After cleaning and re-installing valves, I looked inside and noticed when I
would turn the driveshaft the pump spring would not compress. I figured the
pump may not be contacting the oil cam on the mainshaft and is not working
properly.  Am I right thinking this?  Can the pump possibly be stuck? Any
suggestions?

Hello, Healeyphiles -

 

A few years ago, one of the USA Healey club magazines sponsored a photo
contest with the theme "The Essence of the Marque".  The winner was a shot
accenting the profile of a Healey, and as I recall the photographer was
someone named Ian.  Can anyone direct me to a picture of this?  I have
searched in vain for it on the internet.

 

Thanks very much,

Hi, Kenny -

Is it possible that the cam is installed backward on the mainshaft?  If so,
the cam won't operate the pump.

There are only a couple of things that it may be.

	1.  The cam on the main shaft is either missing or installed backwards

	2.  The pump piston got bent when you were installing the overdrive.

You will need to pull the pump out and then see if the piston moves  
up and down freely.

Perhaps a lister in the UK can help.  I'm trying to contact Ian Pearl 
from Ireland who wrote an excellent article on restoring a Universal 
Laminations hardtop for his MGA.  It was linked to in Barney Gaylord's 
wonderful mgaguru.com website, but the link no longer works.  It was 
posted on a picture sharing site.
In lieu of contacting Ian, a copy of his article will also suffice.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Kenny,
I noticed your question to the Healey list.
If you wish to observe if the pump plunger is actually working,  drain the 
oil from the overdrive unit by removing the large brass nut underneath, 
remove the gauze filter and also the setscrew, this will enable you to 
remove the centre nut with a small socket. With the aid of a good flashlight 
or lead light turn the rear wheels so it turns over the overdrive internals, 
if the pump is located correctly onto the operating cam you will observe the 
pump plunger moving up and down. If not then there may be a good chance that 
during the re-assembly you did not pull the pump plunger down with a draw 
wire to enable the pump plunger to locate under the operating cam and as 
such the pump plunger shaft will be bent and is unfortunately  buggered.
I hope that this helps you to solve your problem.

Regards.
David.

Gents,

It's the cover over the thermostat; the corroded outlet feeds the rubber top
radiator hose.
Sorry that I wasn't very clear in my writing.

Greg: your advice is exactly where I was going. I was ready to go with the "..

Everything you said mirror's my thoughts.
I just wanted a second opinion before I mutilate the original part.
I agree, the head (and stud to a lesser degree) are more important.

I had the same problem. It was the gasket that had basically glued the  
thermo cover to the head. I used a putty knife to wedge into the  
little space and remove some of the gasket, then rock the cover back  
and forth by tapping on one side then the other (and use the knife)  
until it's loose. Then I stuck a big blade screwdriver in there to pry  
it off.

The bad news (or good news depending on how u look at it) is I can now remove
my gearbox out of the car by myself in 25 min. Found out the cam was on
correctly.  Turns out the roller at the top of the oil pump was jammed and
pushed back. It was tweeked enough to jam the pump  in the down position. It
probably did that when i was having trouble getting the OD on the gearbox the
first time.  I pushed the roller assembly forward and the pump now moves
freely. The roller has a gash in it probably from hitting the cam at the funky
angle.  Should I grind the roller down to smooth again or is a new one
available? thanks.

I've found WD-40 and other similar penetrants to be helpful in breaking the
bonds between gaskets and metal.  Spray around the joint line, wait a while,
tap a little on the stuck item, repeat if necessary and sooner or later it
comes apart with the gasket intact (more or less).

If you have the link, you can usually go to www.archive.org and
recover the old web page there.  The only thing is sometimes the pics

Dan,

If the "bolt" is on the top of the overdrive, it is probably the plug which
covers the actuating valve.  If it is under the solenoid bracket on the left
side of the unit, then it is the oil pump non-return valve.  Either one
could be a cause of insufficient oil pressure.

HTH,
Peter Schauss

We successfully completed all?Targa sections in today's run from Saint John's to Gander--car is running 
beautifully and driver and navigator are communicating effectively.? "Molly", one of the Mini's?on the Brick's and Brute team went off and was seriously crunched but driver Dyrk and navigator Terry are okay aside from some bruises, though the top and roll cage had to be cut off the car to extract Terry.? This happened at almost the exact same spot that a Healey went off and was totalled last year.? Sobering....

We are in Gander for two nights, running six or seven Targa stages tomorrow before returning into?town.

More tomorrow and best to all--Michael Oritt

Instead of propane use MAPP gas in the yellow bottle.  It puts out 80%
more heat than propane and works wonders over any of the lubricants.
Removed many bolts on my 59' John Deere 630 that would have broke
otherwise.

My water outlet fitting is stuck on the inboard stud. The outboard boss
(towards the front of the car) is loose.
The cover/boss is resistant to my attempts with PB Blaster and propane
torch
treatment.
Any recommendations on how to remove?
Is the original part worth trying to save even if part of the outlet lip
is
badly corroded?
I'm ready to hack at it with Demel tool disc and carbide bits. I have
the Moss

FWIW, I run the PBR units on both vehicles.
BN1 fitted with BT7 (Girling 14 calipers) front discs- standard master
cylinder use PBR Vh44 booster.This vehicle has 4 stud rear end with larger
rear brakes. I fitted a t-piece on the diff housing off a Mini Cooper which
has a built-in restrictor in place of the standard t-piece to reduce rear
wheel lockup. Works well
BT7 fitted with BJ8 (Girling 16 Calipers) front discs-Required BJ8 master
cylinder as standard BT7 M/c would not push enough fluid to fill the larger
calipers
The VH44 booster was not big enough in my opinion so I went to the larger VH40

Sorry Ed, I thought he was trying to remove a stud and had previously
used propane to no avail.  I guess he just needs to whack it off with a
Sawzall, a Dremel would take forever.

Grant,

I have nothing to add to the suggestions provided other than I always 
persevere with the least intrusive methods supplemented with patience. 
These are not our everyday drivers (anymore), so my thought is that it does 
not matter much if it takes a bit longer.  As important is preventing it 
from happening again.  In my experience is it usually the steel studs that 
have fused with the alloy thermostat housing, especially if any moisture was 
wicking up from a weeping gasket.  I liberally coat the studs with 
anti-seize grease on re-assembly.  While you are in there make sure you have 
the correct sleeve-type thermostat - Norm Nock's tech book as an excellent 
article on why these should be used.

I would suggest the PB blaster soaking for a couple of days then lock 2 nuts 
onto the stud and try
and remove.    If that doesn't work then cut through the stuck part of the 
thermostat housing to get to the frozen stud so you can then remove the 
housing.

BE CAREFUL with those dremel cut off discs.    They tend to break up 
unexpectedly and they
can fly anywhere.   A careful hammer and chisel may be safer.

You can get new studs at the usual venders or local parts stores.   I used 
carb studs to replace
one of my studs when this same thing happened to me.

If you need to remove a stud a small stud remover kit should be a part of 
everyones tool
set.

If these are the valves with the ball bearings make sure you don't mix the 
balls up.  They are
different sizes.

A fix I've seen described before is to use a short piece of copper tubing,
just large enough to fit over the stud, chucked in a drill motor like a hole
saw. This will supposedly cut through the rust and corrosion that is holding
the casting on the stud. I've never had the need to try it, but if you do
please let me know how (if)it worked.

Generally speaking all crush washers should be replaced when you are
rebuilding the OD anyway. Just make sure you get one the right size. If that
particular washer was leaking you would have oil all over the place.

Hmm!  Interesting.  I have a poster of the photo contest winner hanging on 
my wall.  Same concept but it is not a Hundred and it is facing the other 
way.

Message-ID: <091620081132.2788.48CF9968000E50E200000AE42213528573CFCFCFCC97080E@comcast.net>

I sent this yesterday but didn't get any response - is it something I said or is this just a boring question?

----

Well, I finally wrestled the tranny and overdrive out of the car and installed a 
new clutch.  Upon inspecting the interior of the bell housing, I noticed the oil 
seal around the 1st motion shaft is failing.  It was installed by a PO badly as 
it has a few dents on the metal lip of the seal - probably hammered in without 
protecting it.  This has the effect of keeping my garage floor well lubricated.

So, the question is - how difficult is it to remove the old one and install a 
new one?  How does one get the old seal out?  Do I need to separate the bell 
housing and transmission to properly get to the seal?  I'm assuming I'll need 
(in addition to a new seal) the gasket set (assume Moss).  There is a buffer pad 
that Moss doesn't carry.  Is that something I'd need to replace?

As always, I appreciate the collective wisdom of the List and await your 
responses.

Burt

I have covered a portion of my fiberglass transmission tunnel with Kool
Mat. Yesterday while driving, I used the remote thermometer to check
temps. Near the KoolMat was 113. On the KoolMat was 103. I was hoping
for more!
Maybe I should have put the car cover on for the day before driving?
Maybe what I measured was more indicative of inside air already heated
from the sun instead of transmission heat getting through?
Just some speculation. Outside air was 92.

Steve,

The photo contest was for AHCUSA. I found a wallpaper image link on their website:

http://healey.org/content/view/305/222/

If you are looking for additional information about the photographer, perhaps Reid could help you out since he was editor of AHCUSA at the time.  Reid Trummel <editor at healeyclub.org>

Kees,
It is on the cabin side only. I cannot cover the whole trans tunnel due to the
console mountings. I do not plan to take the tunnel off, but if I did, I would
put aluminium foil backed thin foam insulation on the underside.
I will take some more measurements later in the week.

Where did you put the insulation, engine side or cabin side. I would put the
insulation preferably on both sides with the shiny part towards the engine and
the cabine. If only one layer is possible I would use it on the engine side.
Make sure you cover the whole area.
Measuring in the sun or preheated cabin is not a good idea.
Do your measurements on a clouded day at an ambient temperature of about 20:C
to get a good reading.
First reading before you even start the engine, subsequent readings at say 10
min intervals driving. Use an assistant.

The Good  <news:-> News:-

I took my Mk II BT7 to a (very local & small) village fete/classic car show
the other day. There was a very eclectic and slightly ratty selection of
other "classics", no other Healeys. Unbeknown to me, there was a "Best of
Show" competition, which my car won. (Remember, this is only local stuff
here).

 

The Bad News:-

I bought a few books at the book stall, had a pint and left without even
knowing there'd been a competition, let alone that "The Old Banger" had won!
Someone else got the prize!!

Better luck next year!

Not to disparage Corvettes, he said tongue in cheek, but I always had a
laugh as a newby in the late 50's at Gymkhanas watching the Corvettes
knocking down all the cones while we in our Healeys sailed through. Straight
ahead at full speed is a drag racer not a sports car. Never was, never will
be but of course, I am prejudiced towards LBC's.

I would take your trophy with pride.

Burt, I'm still laughing at your story.  Thanks for sharing.  It reminds me of my experience this past Sunday. I love it when kids come up and go ape shit over the car.  Honestly, it's hard not to notice a rally car, right?  
   
  I dropped off my friend at her home after a long day of touring on Sunday.  As we're exiting the car in the driveway two boys - maybe 10 or 11 ride up on their bikes.  Their enthusiasm was just overwhelming.  They loved the color, the racing graphics.  They asked to look under the hood - I obliged.  They asked to sit in the car - I opened the door and told them to jump in.  One of them is sitting in the driver seat, gripping the steering wheel and making wheel-burn out noises as I'm sure he's imagining racing down the street.  The other in the passenger seat remarking how cool the car is.  My friend and I stood back and let the kids enjoy their moment. Both of the boys saying how jealous their dads will be when they find out they got to sit in a 
   
   
  Cobra!  "hey Mister, is this a real Cobra"? 
   
   
  "No son, it's an Austin Healey."  
   
   
  "Is like an MG or something"?
   
   
  ... or something...
   
   
  I'm still laughing about it.
   
  Cheers,

Carlos,

I had a similar incident several yearss ago with my BN7.  A fella looking much like he was fresh off of a bottle of wine was standing along the curb at an intersection.  He yells  "Nice Cobra!"

I tell him "It is not a Cobra.  It's an Austin-Healey"

He looks it over again for a few seconds and replies  "No, it's not!"

So I let it go and drove off.

I had a neighbor 25 years ago who insisted that my then BJ8 was an MG. When
I told him to look at the badge, he said as far as he was concerned it was
still an MG. Of course, he had a beer in his hand and this was in Staten
Island, NY. If I offend anyone, sobeit. True story. Last I heard, he was
still with a beer in his hand still single still bumming around the

I swear this is my last question.  If I can't get it fixed after this, I am
going to hire a professional.   I got the gearbox and OD in the car today.
Ran it on jackstands for 5 mins.  The OD seemed to work correctly but was
kinda hot.  I went on a road test and the OD kicked on.  The OD, however,
didn't want to disengage.  In fact, it seemed to be slipping.  I was dead in
the water.  I turned it off and shifed to 1st gear.  The car wouldn't move.
Made sure the OD switch was off and went through 1-4th.  Finally 1st kicked in
and I got her home.  Checked oil level and it was fine.  Any ideas?  I am not
taking it out again.

By the way....because of this OD mess I haven't had a chance to get new tires
to solve my shimmy problem.  When I went on the road test on Sunday my bad
tire that caused my shimmy blew out. Luckily I was coming to a stop and was
going 5 mph.

Well, you know, we do bathe occasionally around here... But to your question:
Speaking as someone who hasn't dealt with a late tranny (as in no mechanical
seal), I think the seal can be pulled from the front, thus relieving you
having to disassemble the gearbox. If you can access the seal use a
screwdriver to get under the metal shell and pry it out. You can get a seal
from any of the usual vendors, or from a bearing and seal supplier such as
Kaman Bearing. I like to upgrade to a double lip seal when I can.

Subject: [Healeys] Targa Newfoundland--Leg 2
Message-ID: <8CAE66AE8B19E1C-D0-BF1@mblk-d51.sysops.aol.com>

We had eight Targa stages on today's menu.? We ran the first six perfectly, making times and having no problems.? On the next to last stage we hit an enormous hole (not shown on the route book) and the rear landed heavily, breaking two rod ends (the car has a four link rear) one upper left and one lower right or vica versa so as you can imagine the rear axle was moving about wildly.? Nevertheless we made it through the finish within Trophy time, then loaded the Healey up on the transporter and moved to an area near the beginning of the next (final) stage which runs through the streets of Gander.? Michael and mechanic Brian Sexsmith, ever-resourceful, devised a plan for us to complete the last stage:? We simply?tied the axle front and back with some of the?nylon webbing tiedown straps and ran the last stage at reduced speed, though we did not make the time.

We're scouring Gander for two 5/8" tie rod ends with spherical joints that will accept 5/8" bolts--right hand fine threaded if you please--but haven't come up with any yet so fabricating new links may wind up being the solution.? As I left the arena the welder was looking over the job and I am back at the hotel to do tomorrow's route book under the assumption that we will get back on the road.? Oh yes, one shock is bent but we will address that once the links are repaired.

More news as it develops--Michael?Oritt

The O/D will freewheel if it does not go back to the full off "position"
This can happen from bent or broken spring posts on the clutch thrust ring,
weak or bound return springs or perhaps a cracked brake ring. Unconventional
oils may also be too slippery and cause the clutch to slip in cases where
the clutch is worn.  Hydraulic pressure is used to engage the unit,
mechanical pressure is used to disengage it. If it finally disengages on its
own after a few minutes, then it may just be dirt in the spring post guides
and it may clear up after several hundred miles of exasperating use. 
 Contact me off list for some suggestions I might not want everyone to
undertake.

I swear this is my last question.  If I can't get it fixed after this, I am
going to hire a professional.   I got the gearbox and OD in the car today.
Ran it on jackstands for 5 mins.  The OD seemed to work correctly but was
kinda hot.  I went on a road test and the OD kicked on.  The OD, however,
didn't want to disengage.  In fact, it seemed to be slipping.  I was dead in
the water.  I turned it off and shifed to 1st gear.  The car wouldn't move.
Made sure the OD switch was off and went through 1-4th.  Finally 1st kicked
in
and I got her home.  Checked oil level and it was fine.  Any ideas?  I am
not
taking it out again.

By the way....because of this OD mess I haven't had a chance to get new
tires
to solve my shimmy problem.  When I went on the road test on Sunday my bad
tire that caused my shimmy blew out. Luckily I was coming to a stop and was
going 5 mph.

I fully agree but it could be as simple as a blocked return path when 
the oil pressure is supposed to be relieved and the oil be pushed out of 
the pistons under spring pressure.

It would be quite  a simple job to pull out the operating valve and 
check. The most likely area for blockage is the small hole out of the 
side of the valve stem, near the bottom.

I love to take my 100 to "Cruise-ins" to watch the people there. Several 
times I have had youngsters (over 20) come up to my car and read "Austin 
Healey" and then turn and ask "is that the car James Bond drove". At one 
show I asked a participant what he thought the most expensive car there 
was. He suggested the Cobra or Viper, not knowing that a Mercedes 300SL 
Roadster was sitting 4 spots away from him. Just love it.

As I expected Michael and Brian came up with a fix last night and we were ready to go in the morning.? Though?male rod ends were not available two females were and by simply cutting some 5/8" bolts to length we were good to go--this probably a great reason to use female rod ends in the first place!

In any case we ran all sections today with no incidents, made either Targa or trophy times in all and tonight?the?support team is trying to chase down a problem in the Brantz Rallye timer which causes it to reset intermittently.? This is a serious problem in that I call instructions for the next corner, etc. to?Michael based upon the distance to it out of the route book and I get all my info off the Brantz.? When it failed during the seventh Targa stage?we were forced to estimate distances between instructions?and this makes it just that more difficult for Michael to maintain the high?velocities demanded as he cannot then drive right up to the turn, etc. at speed.? Nevertheless we persevered successfully!

This will be AHX 12's fourth Targa Newfoundland.? In 2003 and 2004 owner Blair Harber and Michael successfully completed this event, then last year I?filled in as?navigator and again this year.? As a Healey enthusiast/owner it is?an incredible thrill to?sit in a 1953 100 and feel/see/hear it hurtling up, down and around the rough and twisty roads of rural Newfoundland.??There are faster cars than?us for sure, but none older and lower and?it is great to be a part of overcoming these challenges.? My hat goes off to Blair and Michael for fielding such an incredible vehicle.

We have two days left--we're now in Clarenville, tomorrow we run down to Marystown and then back into Saint Johns end of day Friday.? More as it happens.? BtW there are probably pictures up on the Targa Newfoundland website and I know there are already?video clips posted on YouTube--probably some footage of us going by!

Thanks John.  Great info.  I'll let you know how I make out with the PBR on my
BJ8.  Not sure which model # it is.  Bruce at Healey Surgeons says they have
installed lots of them and have had good luck with them.

Frank

<Listers
FWIW, I run the PBR units on both vehicles.
BN1 fitted with BT7 (Girling 14 calipers) front discs- standard master
cylinder use PBR Vh44 booster.This vehicle has 4 stud rear end with larger
rear brakes. I fitted a t-piece on the diff housing off a Mini Cooper which
has a built-in restrictor in place of the standard t-piece to reduce rear
wheel lockup. Works well
BT7 fitted with BJ8 (Girling 16 Calipers) front discs-Required BJ8 master
cylinder as standard BT7 M/c would not push enough fluid to fill the larger
calipers
The VH44 booster was not big enough in my opinion so I went to the larger
VH40
unit which works better.A colleague uses a VH40EL which also works well
They are available in Australia for A$265-website is

I  always like to tell people it's an Aston-Harley.  Wish I could take 
credit for that, but it was coined by Mike Hall of the British Columbia 
Healey Club about 30 years ago; for those who might remember him.  In 
1980, he and Nell Holdstock-Donaldson took his Healey to the U.K. 
Bristol Meet and Mike swears that while stopped  beside the Queen Mum's 
Limo,  she shook her finger and said:  "Those chrome wheels are not

G'day Bill

Good story Bill and I would say is probably correct.

HRH Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was quite a car enthusiast. I
recall a TV programme some years back, when she welcomed members and
cars of the Ford Pilot Club at home at Clarence House in London. I can't
recall if she was patron or honorary president, but she was most
enthusiastic with the presentation.

The Queen Mother was also patron of the Nuffield Foundation that was set
up by William Morris (Lord Nuffield) in 1943 to undertake research and
practical experiment into the advance of social well being.

G'day

This probably a long shot.

On Saturday 9 August last I attended the weekly Cars and Coffee
gathering at the Ford establishment in Irving, California. I had no idea
that I was going until the night before and went along in an Alfa Romeo
Giulia Spider.

I may have missed some but noticed 3 Austin-Healeys in attendance, plus
stacks of interesting US cars. Yes I took photos of many of the cars,
especially the Austin-Healeys.

Was there anyone there from the list that I missed?

On German ebay you can buy the ID Plates of scrapped, I think 1961

So if you have a MK1 and want to switch it to a MK2??!!
See ebay ArtNo 250292574118.

Perhaps the Tricarb registrar can take the number, I tink it is
BN7/10159, to mark this car as scrapped.

Hey ! didn't you invent women     Aha  yes said God
Well said Arthur ' Professional to Professional

 Recently on Ebay 2 sets of ID tags were for sale starting price
 1 for $1500.00 +  &  1 for $2000.00  +      NO BIDS received
To fix  these tags to a car in Australia can land you in jail if you
try to register or sell them.
 Why would you pay $1500 & $2000 if you did not have
scurrilous intentions . I have 4 sets of tags & 3 cars
It is abhorrent to me to consider selling a set that could end up
on a "HOT' car .
Thanks to the keepers of the various registers

 I wasn't there August 9, but I do go 4 or 5 times a year just to see the 
amazing gathering of cars.  It's only a one hour drive from my home but you 
have to get there by 6:30am to get a good parking spot.  Several times a 
year our local Healey club will plan to show up and there may be 12 to 15 
Healeys parked together.  Its great fun and a great venue for seeing all 
types of cars from high tech million dollar rockets to our Healeys and 
everything between.

lucky... The interface with other Healey enthusiasts is lacking in Idaho and
very enviable ..  All I can do is drive my BJ8 through Yellowstone and Teton
Parks and the surrounding area, twist my way over Pine Creek and Teton Passes
... (early in the AM  .... no Traffic .. but watch for moose and elk) ... ..
Am sticking the hardtop on my BJ8 this week .. and thinking about skiing ...

Patrick:
August 9th? That's like a year ago in car days.
I'm not sure if I was that day. I try to go twice a month alternating
between my Healey and Aston Martin. I probably wasn't there that day as your
presence would have made a big stir and I would have remembered that.
I was one of the original founders of the Crystal Cove show (first 10 cars)
in my 67 BJ8 which was made up of pre-57 American classics.  After Car Crazy
did a TV show hundreds arrived every week so the Irvine Company kicked us
out about three years ago. That's when we were invited to the Ford parking
lot.
A great event that is unfortunately going to be over in about 10 months due
to Ford selling this or that so were are now looking for another venue.
We have had 11 big Healeys there, maybe more when I wasn't present. Georg
McHarris is almost always there and he would know.
As you saw, they organize it and have coffee etc for sale. They also reserve
that first corner section for the Marque of the Week. Sometimes British,
German, Italian, Ford, etc. I don't think I've ever been there when there
wasn't at least one $2,000,000+ car there.
Great fun. I'm glad you enjoyed it.


G'day

This probably a long shot.

On Saturday 9 August last I attended the weekly Cars and Coffee
gathering at the Ford establishment in Irving, California. I had no idea
that I was going until the night before and went along in an Alfa Romeo
Giulia Spider.

I may have missed some but noticed 3 Austin-Healeys in attendance, plus
stacks of interesting US cars. Yes I took photos of many of the cars,
especially the Austin-Healeys.

Was there anyone there from the list that I missed?

I recently found a vintage walnut gear shift knob that has a red enameled
Austin Healey badge embedded in the wood.  The typical one that has been
sold for years.

It could use refinishing.  The internal threads look okay.

Free for shipping for the first who wants it.

Does anyone happen to have a chrome grill ring for a BJ7 for sale? I believe
this ring is also the one that goes on a BJ8. Not sure of other models. I'm
assuming that anything I get will need stripping and re-chroming, but I'd like
it to be in fair shape otherwise.
 
Also need two exterior door handles for a BJ7. These are the straight pull-out
version for the BJ7, not found on BJ8s.
 
Thanks to all for the informative information found on the Healey List.

As to our team, Betty the red Mini driven by Richard Paterson and co-driver Tony Matson are also doing well.? the blue Mini "Lucy" is working on its third engine and today had transmission trouble but is hopefully repaired.? It takes three out of four in the team to finish in order to win a team award and we are still hopeful that we are eligible.?

I am tearing down a fairly rust BJ7, anyone needing parts let me know. Rear
shroud needs flange repair from corrosion, front is good. Already sold the
windshield. Engine & tranny condition unknown but all there.
Also have a good rear shroud for BN7 and 2 fronts which both need work.

G'day Bill

Stone the crows. You make out that I'm 110 in the shade.

The Cars and Coffee morning was very interesting as it gave me a quick
insight into the types of cars that get along to such things.

I was particularly taken by a couple of Woodies that were there - just
gorgeous. Always remind me of those B&W movies from the 1940s & '50s
where there is a woody driving through the snow to some shack in Vermont
and you know some bloke in a black hat is going to bump someone off.

I'll send the pics to you direct.

Hi Burt-

I recently went through the same procedure on my 63 BJ7. The buffer that you refer to is not available, but is of a semi-firm composition. I have gotten advice suggesting either linoleum or leather from 1/16-1/8" in thickness as a replacement. FWIW, if you are just interested in replacing the seal, auto parts stores usually sell oil seal pullers (just saw one on the shelf at PepBoys recently). I struggled getting mine out with the screwdriver method, and ultimately pulled the bellhousing. This then moitivated me to change the tranny seals, open the overdrive and change those seals and so on. I was not thrilled about the idea initially, but with patience, and this great List as a reference, I persevered, and now won't have to keep wiping my car's bottom.

If you have any further questions, feel free to ask away.

For the first time since I put the engine in the chassis, we had the front
shroud on my BN1. It has M carbs on Denis Welch intake manifolds. It appears
that the front carb sticks up too high to close the bonnet (we didn't try).
The cars at the painters so I'm sitting at home in the ponder mode. Any

This is dated info, about 15 years ago, but hope this helps. I used the 
stock type M manifolds and I thought the front carb was to high also. 
More than thought, it was too high.  First found that the new front 
motor mount pads where about 1/8 inch thicker than the origianals. This 
pushes the engine up a bit at sits in a V. Also makes it hard to get 
the mount bolts lined up. Changing the pads and wiggling all the mount 
bolts to their lowest possible engine position helped.  Next found that 
the M manifolds where not originals but where machined from castings 
made later (not in the 1950's).  The surface machined at the 
manifold/head interface on the manifolds was off by about 3 degrees (if 
I remnember the number correctly). That made the difference and the 
carbs now set correctly under the bonnet

For the first time since I put the engine in the chassis, we had the 
front
shroud on my BN1. It has M carbs on Denis Welch intake manifolds. It 
appears
that the front carb sticks up too high to close the bonnet (we didn't 
try).
The cars at the painters so I'm sitting at home in the ponder mode. Any
ideas? I should have the car back next week and can dig in to it in

Marv,
Try carefully closing the bonnet to check for actual clearance. It can be 
quite deciving to look across at the forward carb top and see what appears 
to be inadequate clearance. In actuality, there's a lot of arc to the fit of 
the shroud and bonnet, and you'll likely discover that it actually clears 
alright.

Keith:
If you can replace every part on a car including the frame and block, then
what defines that the car is still original?  Some believe the original tags
do.  To me, an original car would have to be what came as a complete unit
off the assembly line with replacement minimal and rebuilding original parts
the rule-especially the frame and engine.  What say the concours committee?

 Recently on Ebay 2 sets of ID tags were for sale starting price
 1 for $1500.00 +  &  1 for $2000.00  +      NO BIDS received
To fix  these tags to a car in Australia can land you in jail if you
try to register or sell them.
 Why would you pay $1500 & $2000 if you did not have
scurrilous intentions . I have 4 sets of tags & 3 cars
It is abhorrent to me to consider selling a set that could end up
on a "HOT' car .

Where is the line? I looked at a 100M the recently that started out as  
a rusty, bent chassis but with the correct ID number. Now it's a  
complete car with no original parts (other than those mentioned), but  
it is in the registry and with BMIHT certificate.

Not sure there is an answer.

When I bought my 100 it was missing some original parts. One of the
stamped cockpit surround pieces and the doors. Amazingly I was able to
locate the doors and the missing cockpit surround piece. I wanted to have
as much of the original car as possible, but realized that in cases where
the car has been around for a while this may be virtually impossible.  It
may have been in an accident and had body panels replaced or the engine
was replaced. Unfortunately my former BN2 has been parted out along with
parts original to the chassis, which was sold separately. I would think
that if you had an, essentially, intact sub chassis and the body number
stamped pieces along with the original ID tags, this would qualify for an
original car. I would suggest that in the case of special cars, such as
the "M", those without complete stamped body parts, including engine with
original tag,  be designated as "rebuilt" rather than "restored" and
judged separately. I realize this will be an ongoing debate, but needs to
be addressed before the originality is polluted. Thanks.

You both make good points. It may be mostly a visual thing since there is
arc in the bonnet. I will install and close it carefully with a glob of clay
on top of the carb to measure the clearance. It's also probable that I
tightened the motor mounts with the engine supported and locked in the
highest position possible. Thick motor mounts is another possibility that I
had thought about. I've got a couple of old sets that I can compare when I
get my hands on the car.

Just take a look at the radiator height on a BN6. You would swear that when
you lower the bonnet you would put a major crimp on it. But --- o ye of
little faith. It closes spot on.

Message-ID: <8CAE8D2161FC087-156C-1BF7@mblk-d21.sysops.aol.com>

What a great day!? We ran all legs at either Targa or Trophy speeds and finished without a hitch with AHX 12?running strong across the flying finish line, following which?we had a 10 or so mile transit into Saint John's?for a ceremonial?"finish" down on the?quay.??

The?city is built into a bowl around the harbor which is about 1/4 mile wide and perhaps 3/4 mile long with a narrow (fortified) entrance from the Atlantic.? St. John's is a deepwater port?with an Old Town which?attracts cruise liners, and as we?slanted down the steep narrow streets towards the water we could see a big white ship ( The "Aurora" out of Hamilton, Bermuda) tied to the quay just down from "The Keg" where?a few thousand folks were posted to watch the cars enter amidst great fanfare.? 

About 50 feet from the line 12 suddenly died?and?when Michael pushed the starter button there was nothing!? After a few attempts?at push-starting we gave up and threw a tow strap to our other "Bricks and Brute"?team car "Betty" which?came in right behind us, and in true team fashion "12" was?towed across the?line by a red Mini tugboat.? The crowds went wild!

After an hour's decompressing we began to sort out the problem and?as we were working with a test light the heroic sounds of "Oh Canada" (the Canadian National Anthem)?came out over?"Aurora's" loudspeakers as she?pulled away from the seawall.? We soon discovered a blown main fuse and with a quick replacement "12" fired right up--at that very moment the thin reedy strain of "Amazing Grace" played on a bagpipe came from the ship.? Quite a?dramatic conclusion to a wonderful event.

Tomorrow is a lay day with things concluding at an Awards banquet tomorrow night.? I don't know where we stand--this morning we were about 15th overall and may have moved up a few notches.??I know we will win our class as we are the only one's in it!

More tomorrow--Michael Oritt

The Concours Committee decided long ago to judge each car at face value as 
it is presented for inspection that day. That is to say we do not require 
any past history or explanation about the car. Therefore when carefully 
inspected, a score cannot suffer if what we are seeing is correct. We look 
at every aspect and every item with a 60/40 split of the score in mind, 60% 
being toward originality and 40% toward condition. If a part (even a major 
one like the chassis) is accurate to the point where it cannot be detected 
from original then obviously a deduction cannot be made. We follow this 
logic throughout the scoring process.

original but C & D type Jag Kits are very close.  In Australia we have a
magnificent" D" type Jag built from the original XXD548 block & little else.
Given the reputation of the owner / restorer this car would be 100% correct
& to concourse standard . Would you Judge it as a  kit car  OR  As I
interpret your statement you would judge on it's merit & not its
provenience.
Very Very Interesting .

Subject: [Healeys] Provenance and Originality
Message-ID: <bd1.3d5c24ec.36069676@aol.com>

As noted, Jaguar C & D Types are a different situation than Healeys, since 
there is enough money in the classic racing Jags to support the growth of a 
complete cottage industry making replacement parts. Such is the quality of these 
parts that it is possible to build an entire C or D type Jag from new parts 
that is indistinguishable from an entirely original version. In order to register 
your C-Type or D-Type with their Registry, you must be able to prove a 
completely unbroken chain of unchallenged ownership of that particular chassis 
number from you back to the factory assembly line. If you can do that, you are 
considered to own the "original" car. As the C/D Registrar puts it, an original 
C-Type is a hole in space that has been continuously occupied by a car from 
production to present, though none of the parts have to have been those that were 
on the car from new.
Incidentally, to measure the value of unbroken ownership, a registered D-Type 
might sell today for over two million dollars, but one can build an exact 
replica for around $175,000.
By contrast, with the Healey Concours Registry, what you establish is that 
the car as presented for inspection is presently built to at least 85 percent of 
original specifications. Clearly, the more original pieces on the car, the 
easier that is to do, but it would not be impossible to assemble a car from the 
pieces of other cars plus modern reproductions that would meet those 
standards.
As a separate thought, it would be interesting for the clubs to establish a 
competition for original, unrestored cars --- as is now being done at Pebble 
Beach -- to encourage people to preserve original cars rather than restoring 
them, but up until now, no one has seemed to care enough to do that.
Cheers
Gary

Message-ID: <000901c91b6e$7757e010$6401a8c0@acerfd6b6b72e3>

I have a 1966 BJ8.  I want to make sure that I am using  the correct 
original hardware to secured the transmission tunnel.

The Originality Guide (page 167) states that the tunnel is secured with #8 
Posidrive pan head sheetmetal screws.
However, my Body Service Parts List AKD 3524  ( plate N5 )  shows a screw 
and nut used to secure the tunnel. These are parts CMZ 0208 and CNZ 102.

Has anyone secured the Transmission Tunnel with the screw and nut on phase 
II BJ8 ?  I was wondering why this was not noted in the Originality Guide.

Thanks,

Jim

I am installing new wooden spacer strips under the seats. Were the original 
wooden strips installed "raw" or were they treated  at the factory with some 
varnish to help preserve them ?  The new strips from AHS are in the "raw" 
state.  I'm thinking it might be best to add a coat of varnish.

Thanks for your help.

Message-ID: <A96534FEDF8F449B8EB5485A1BA29BD9@DC2LDS61>

When I purchased my Healey two plus years ago it came with an extra
transmission.  Apparently the owner had intended on swapping it out with the
original transmission since there were problems with 1st and 2nd gears.  I
asked the seller if the transmission was any good and he told me that his
dad, who was a mechanic, picked it up from a salvage yard back in the 70's
and that his dad being a mechanic, wouldn't have picked out a bad
transmission.  This transmission matches up for BN7 but the only thing that
I know of it was that it came from a salvage yard.  I am currently having
the original one rebuilt by a professional and have offered to sell him the
other one for what it's worth.  Does anyone have any idea what its worth?
I've been dealing with this professional for two years now and have come to
trust him, but business is business.  Any ball park estimates would be
greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Good gearboxes unrebuilt w/ OD are probably worth around 700 or so,

Hi Jim,

They seemed to originally have been treated with some sort of dark oily 
preservative. I always seal them with a good quality amber shellac.

Jim -

You are confused.

That screw (on Plate N5) is to hold the carpet snap studs to the
tunnel cover.  The screw you are talking about is referenced on Plate
A4 #21 - PTZ 808 and PTZ 807.

The guide is correct.

Best,

Alan

Hi Alen,

Thanks.

I see it now.  I don't know how I missed that page !  What do you think 
about using stainless steel
#8  Posidrive pan head sheetmetal screws.  Any idea if any are available ?

I sold my side shift trannie with OD, unrebuilt and unknown condition for $150
first come as is where is, under pressure from wife to get it out of the
apartment.  Great deal for the buyer as reportedly it was worth $500+.  Plenty
of offers but most wanted it crated and shipped to them which I was not
prepared to do.

Jim,

I suspect the wood strips were oiled, not finished in a hard finish like a 
varnish.  Probably they used linseed oil  - whatever was left over after the 
cricket bats were oiled!

I recently installed new ones and used tung oil and they looked fine and are 
preserved.  BTW, it took a bit of investigation to figure our what kind of 
wood it was.  I initially guessed ash as that is used in furniture making, 
but  trip to the local exotic wood dealer where I could question some 
experts and compare grains and hardness with samples revealed that the 
strips are European Beech (which different from the American Beech).

I would respectfully disagree on the value of $700 or so for a complete 
transmission WITH overdrive.  Even one that is unrebuilt.  How many have you seen 
for sale lately?  Just an overdrive unit alone and unrebuilt will go for close 
to $700. or more.  I would say your number is closer to the range you gave for 
a rebuilt unit.
 
You said you were having the original rebuild.  How much is that costing you? 
 My bet says at least a $1000. for the rebuild.
 
Just my 2 cents.

Jim -

www.Namrick.co.uk has literally everything.  Even if it's not on their
website you can call/email and ask, they probably have it.  They even
have british lettered bolts.  Its a good source for Posidrive since
that's more of a UK/EU standard.

I think they sell the posidrive screws in packs.  Prices are very
fair, and service is quick.

Best,

Alan

Fair enough, I haven't bought a gearbox in about 4 years so my prices
may be off.  Maybe I'll take a second sub prime mortgage out on my
place to buy a new gearbox!

Sorry, it was not my intention to be unkind or to upset you.  I thought it

Sure, stainless steel is a great choice.  Many of  the parts dist. are 
selling SS screws for these areas.    I suggest to start with the smallest 
screw that will fit first,  then if for some reason the
hole is too big then you can always move up to the next largest.   And keep 
in mind that once these screws are in place they won't be seen unless some 
one digs for them.

That's just slightly more than I charge for overhauling/rebuilding. It will

The two sets I have made and installed were of oak because that is the hardwood which I had on hand.  I rubbed them down with 2 coats of tung oil because that is also what I had on hand.

A couple years ago, there was a BJ8 engine serial number plate being offered
on eBay, although not for outrageous amounts of money nor with scurrilous
intentions.  As it happened, the BJ8 registry had a record of the car for
which the engine was original, and also the contact information for the
owner of that car.  The registry notified the owner of the car, who
communicated with the seller of the item, and the seller agreed to pull the
item from eBay and just mail it to the proper owner at no charge.  The
serial plate had come into possession of the seller from a previous owner of
the car several years before.
Yes, registries do have benefits for the Healey community although they are
not always obvious.

Happy Healeying!

 Recently on Ebay 2 sets of ID tags were for sale starting price
 1 for $1500.00 +  &  1 for $2000.00  +      NO BIDS received
To fix  these tags to a car in Australia can land you in jail if you try to
register or sell them.
 Why would you pay $1500 & $2000 if you did not have scurrilous intentions .
I have 4 sets of tags & 3 cars It is abhorrent to me to consider selling a
set that could end up on a "HOT' car .

A while back--several years, probably--I came across a message or

soft-metal finish, not chrome or other plating, at least for the earlier 
cars).

Does anyone have a link to that, or was it in one of the club magazines?

The Anderson Moment book says that the grills were anodized aluminum. I hope

One of our Queensland members is looking at putting BJ8 disc brakes on a BN1.
He has "authoritative advice" (I won't say where from!) that he can put the
BJ8 hubs on the BN1 stub axles, but wants to be sure before he presses in the
bearings. What's the word on this?

I "think" Bob is talking about grill 'surround', John.

And if so Bob, just the bottom "lip" of the 'surround' is a REALLY thin
coat of "silver" or "silver gray" (which is usually history<G>).

If nobody can come up with a pic of 2 (which any of you can send to me to
put up on my site), lemme know and I'll take a couple of Hortense' s!!

www.justbrits.com

Only 1 error (I think) and that was that I didn't put a 'Yes' in the

I AM somewhat appalled at the number of folks taking part in the Poll.

Twelve with a few that ARE incomplete ref info.

You mean the inner portion of the oval suround on Mk 2's and 3's back from 
the crest of the oval surface? It effectively hid the dimples caused by the 
spot welded mounting tabs beneath and it prevented the vertical teeth from 
reflecting directly into the oval surround surface. Pics att'd. show the 
painted silver gray on two different grille assemblies. Also note that the 
outer oval lip was exposed around the entire oval, the upper brow tucking 
beneath the upper lip.

Hi Bob,

Being that it states "at least for the earlier cars" I wonder if it's 
referring to the vertical teeth of the Hundred grill assembly. They were 
finished in satin while the outer perimeter was bright chrome.

Actually, it was the grill.  AFAIK, all the surrounds are smooth 
chrome-plated, right?

All -

I thought I'd relay this experience with Derek Megrath @ Flexolite (for oil
filter adapators for all kinds of whacky british cars) -

http://flexolite.co.uk/

My A90 has the same motor as the BN1/BN2.  At first I figured I can just get
a BN1/BN2 adaptor but lo and behold they don't work because the chassis is
in the way and I can't fit a standard filter on the end of the adaptor plate
that fits to the side of the engine.

So I contacted Flexolite to see if he had something that would fit on the
end of my Tecalamite head instead and we discussed it over the phone (he
didn't have a set kit for the Atlantic, but he tried to figure it out over
the phone) and he sent me stuff that would work with my old Tecalemite
head.  I got everything and it was close, but wasn't going to work.

He told me to send everything to him... and incredibly he sent back to me a
completely customized set up including an adaptor plate that looks custom
made for my head.  Incredible.  In addition to that he turned all this
around in less than a day or two in his shop.  All for the 40 pound sterling
he charged me for the first set head that didn't work.

The long and short of it is I now have a highly custom spin on filter
assembly for my A90  - and given that the old filter head was missing its
back plates, the filter wasn't even working - this means my car will have
filtered oil for the first time in probably 30 years.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you own some sort of whack job LBC!

Please note he seems to work best when you talk to him in the mornings on
the phone.  I'm not sure if he checks his email.

Message-ID: <ff59076c0809220043v7e6f57b4i8d264253fd8dcbe6@mail.gmail.com>

All -

My A90 has essentially the same wiper spindles as the BN1, and it is
miserable!!  Actually, these questions apply to my BN1 as well so here
goes...

1) The spindles are round and smooth which makes it next to impossible for
the wipers arms to hold on to them without eventually coming loose after
just a couple of uses and sticking in some useless position on the
windshield when being used in the rain.  This is both very embarrassing to
have wipers stuck in random positions on the windshield when it is raining,
but also frustrating that the windshield isn't being wiped clear of rain
drops!  Has anyone come up with a good solution for making sure the wiper
arms stick to the wiper spindles without coming loose?  Any suggestions
welcome.  My cars are daily drivers and I do actually enjoy driving in the
rain (shame on me!).

2) The spindles are supposed to have rubber seals on them.  Does anyone make
these?  Maybe Scott's Old Rubber Co...?

G'day Alan

You might not like my solution but... assuming these are the approx. 1/4" 
plain spindles (brass?) on which the arms are tightened by a nut compressing 
a split cotter, What I've done is to grip the relevant part of the spindle 
with a pair of mole grips (don't know if that's what you call them but 
locking pliers with serrated jaws) hard enough to create some burring. Gives 
the cotter something to grip on.

As to seals, my usual remedy for leaking wiper spindles is an "O" ring of 
appropriate size pushed down on the spindle with a liberal application of 
Vaseline!

Cheers

Peter -

The BN1 uses special thrust-ball bearings whereas the BJ8 (actually BN2s to
BJ8s) uses standard tapered roller bearings.  As such I believe the hubs &
various spacers are all shaped slightly different - you may have a tough
time finding these little weird spacers.

The best solution is to purchase the whole axle, it may add a little cost
but the swap over is very straightforward - it's a bolt on.  Don't forget
that with the BN1 axles you are going to have to fashion some sort of mount
to attach the calipers anyway - it'll be cheaper to just swap the whole lot
over if you ask me.

Oh the horror!  But then again I like your British "special tool" approach

Was hoping maybe put some adhesive on there, or threadlocker, or tape?  What

Alan,

Roger Moment makes the rubber spindle seals.  He may also be able to help
you with your problem.

Rick,

You can buy the original style adjustable steering wheel from all the usual 
suppliers. It is one repro item that they really got right.

 endurance race]

Hi Healey enthusiasts,

A fantastic result for the big Healey, today at the Goodwood Revival the 
beautifully prepared and superbly driven 100S from the Robert Waterhouse 
stable easily won the prestigious Freddie March Memorial trophy against 
a field of mouth watering 1950s sports racing cars exotica.
 
Under beautiful blue skies and with an incomparable atmosphere of 
costumed enthusiasts, Warbirds flying overhead and an exciting LeMans 
style start, it was fantastic to see the 100 S take the lead from a 
stunning C type early in the race.  As if miffed by being shown a clean 
set of heals from the 100S, the Webb C type threw a fan belt and soon 
lost its second placing.  The Healey soon lapped the slower cars and was 
driven impeccably by the winning team of Stuart Graham and Emanuele Pirro.
 
At the end of the ninety minute grueling race run in the spirit of the 
Goodwood Nine Hour races of the 1950s, with a driver change and pit stop 
half way, the 100 S had a commanding two lap lead over the second placed 
Lotus Bristol, with Aston Martin DB3S's, HWM Jaguars, Jaguar C types 
(driven by no less than Sir Sterling Moss), Ferrari 750 Monzas and the 
list of exotica goes on left trailing in the wake of the 100S.
 
It was a sight and sound we will never forget as the Healey streamed 
past headlights and brake discs glowing in the twilight, as it did the 
winning lap to an ecstatic reaction from the large Goodwood crowd ... 
well from the Austin Healey enthusiasts at least!

Pure Magic!

Subject: [Healeys] OD Getting Hot
Message-ID: <BAY139-W231EB7DC454D4A644D2755B34B0@phx.gbl>

Here we go again. I haven't messed with my gearbox and OD since last week.
Before taking it out for a third time, I figured I would try some of the
suggestions I received.  I took the solonoid off and  adjusted the lever.  It
seemed to help with the disengaging issue.  I also checked the operating valve
for debris.  I jacked up the rear of the car to do a test run.  The OD
engaged/disenganged (by hand)much better than before.  The OD, however, began
to get real hot within 10-15 seconds.  I shut it down immediately.  After
letting it cool for 10 mins I did a second test run.  It got hot again quickly
and a small amount of smoke came out of the breather on the top of the unit.
Any ideas before I pull it out again?  Thanks.

The heat is coming from friction somewhere in the unit. I would GUESS that
there is zero thrust on the mainshaft..probably the rear bearing if it heats
up that quickly.

Tim,
Did you undo the two 7/16 bolts that hold the lever in?  They fit into the
vertical grooves in the ball of the shifter.  They are at 3 and 9 o'clock if
you are looking straight down on the gearbox.

You might have difficulty in finding these but service parts were 
available that adapted the plain shaft to a serrated fitting as on the 
BN2 and beyond. This allowed later arms to be fitted to earlier cars.

The benefit of these was that they were clamped onto the plain shaft by 
screws in the side of the adapter. With these it was possible to file 
flats in the plain shaft if the screws were not enough on their own.

I have to make some assumptions about the exact detail but I would have 
thought that there was no way that this would work. The BN1 stub axles 
have smaller diameter bearing areas. This all changed with the BN2 where 
heavier stub axles were introduced. These heavier ones started life on 
the A90 Westminster. I am not sure about BJ8 hubs but they are likely to 
be the same or similar to the BN2 versions. Others who read this will 
have to add more accurate details.

The BN1 had inclined ball race bearings. Later ones had taper roller.

If you are looking for a transmission, I seem to recall Gary Hemphill
mentioning he had several sitting around he could not sell since everyone
seemed to be switching to Mazda trannys.  He might be tough to get a hold of
these days.

I would respectfully disagree on the value of $700 or so for a complete 
transmission WITH overdrive.  Even one that is unrebuilt.  How many have you
seen 
for sale lately?  Just an overdrive unit alone and unrebuilt will go for
close 
to $700. or more.  I would say your number is closer to the range you gave
for 
a rebuilt unit.
 
You said you were having the original rebuild.  How much is that costing
you? 
 My bet says at least a $1000. for the rebuild.
 
Just my 2 cents.

I got it off by taking the top cover off, gave me a lot of extra clearance that
way also. Didn't see the bolts you reffered to mine has 2 roll pins that I found
out need to be driven into the grooves in the shift lever ball, I think.

Just back from SE Classic in TN.  This was an outstanding event where the
weather was cool, Healeys were hot and the Jack Daniels was flowing.  They
did a great job hosting all of us from Atlanta and about 80 others, as well.

Unfortunately, my BN7 windscreen cracked on the last night there..and the
worst part is.it was borrowed from another club member!  Of course, I have
to replace it.

so...



Anyone out there have a good Triplex windscreen for BN4, BN6, BN7 or BT7
they can part with?

Contact me off list please with price, condition and location.  Closer to
ATL is better.

Thanks,

Speaking of wiper arms and screws, I have one woper arm that I have had for years.  The arm is adjustable (slides in and out of the main arm body), and at the end of the sliding arm there is a curved piece that fits into the wiper blade.  That curved piece if held onto the arm by a screw so it can be adjusted, I assume.  I'm "assuming" it came from a very early car.  anyone know?

Tom,

I've seen the ones you are describing and they were period aftermarket 
items...sort of a "one arm fits all".
The originals were not adjustable in length and did not have a screw on the 
outer end for varying adjustment. At the pivot end they had a collet insert 
to tighten to the smooth wheelbox shaft and at the wiper end the shank did a 
hook down and then back up again with a raised spot to snap into the wiper 
blade holder. They were made by Trico and the blade assembly has Trico 
Rainbow and Made in England on the chrome backing

Message-ID: <d05.4136fe75.36098bac@aol.com>

Following learning of Dave Russell's present situation I called him today  
and left a message on the answering machine for him and Marlene expressing  my 
concern.  Dave called me back a little while ago and we spoke for a good  
while.  Dave was both communicative and responsive, not glum and if  anything a bit 
philosophical about his situation.
 
I don't know anything about aphasia (difficulty in processing info and  
communicating, etc) which seems to be a secondary symptom for Dave.  My  wife, who 
is a Social Worker and worked with elderly people for many years,  tells me 
that it is often easier for people with aphasia to process  speech and organize 
verbal responses than it is to read and write, but that in  any case the more 
processing activity goes on the more likely it is for the  symptom to 
dissipate, etc.
 
Dave told me that he is having Marlene read emails, etc. to him while he is  
unable to do it himself and that he might not always be able to speak on the  
phone.  Dave's email address is: _rusd at sitestar.net_ 
(mailto:rusd at sitestar.net)  and I'm sure he would  appreciate hearing from many of us who have been 
recipients  of his knowledge for so many years.  
 
He is on my daily phone call list--if he can't take my call I will simply  
call him back.
 
Best--Michael Oritt

Got to agree with Rich on this...   I am proud to  sit behind the 
aftermarket wheel that
I put on my car.  I looked at all the aftermarket wood products
but the original spokes  just set the car off.  It fits perfect and looks 
just like the original.
I thought about restoring 1 of the 2 wheels that I have but this new wheel 
was the way to go
for me.

And its a MOSS.  ; )

Rich, et. al.,

Thanks for all your thoughts on this.  I looked at the Trico adaptor and I
don't think it will help any since its mounting mechanism is the same as a
standard 1/4" smooth spindle wiper arm.  Looks to me this will spin around
on the shaft too.

Back to my original question - anyone have a good suggestion that will get
the Wiper Arm on both my BN1/A90 to firmly hold on to the smooth wiper
spindle?

I agree w/ Dave Porter.  I was driving my latest BN7 restoration around w/o 
the interior or trans cover... suddenly the O'd did not want to shift, and 
when I put my hand on the rear of the O'd unit, the rear end was getting 
hotter by the minute!  Got back to the shop asap, and pulled the trans/O'd. 
Took it to Mark Jones at Brit Sport (in Seattle), had him rebuild it...works 
great ever since.  Rear bearing was bad.

I wonder if (purists please avert your eyes) it would be possible to adapt the
later wheel boxes and shafts to work on the BNI operating cable. Then it would
be easy to use the later arms...

Alan

I believe that the discussion moved away from that which I originally
suggested and discussed adapters without the side screws.

Have a look at the following

http://www.vintagecarparts.co.uk/part.phtml?PartID=2787

This is similar to that which I described but the ones I used had a
second screw set at 90 degrees.

I used these about 45 years ago on an A70 Hereford and as you know the
wipers on these are virtually the same as an Atlantic. Filing two flats
at 90 degrees was quite easy if I recall. It certainly stopped any slip.

Subject: [Healeys] Rally / Upgraded Seats ?
Message-ID: <000001c91d9b$4d15cae0$6401a8c0@acerfd6b6b72e3>

Hello All,

I am looking to upgrade the original seats in my 1966 BJ8.  I would like to 
find a seat that has more comfort and adjustments for longer touring trips. 
I would also like the new seat to fit on the factory seat rails so I can 
easily swap back to the original factory seats for shows.

Does anyone know which seats were used in the factory Rally cars ?  There is 
a photo  (pg. 44) in AUSTIN-HEALEY 100-3000 by David McLavin and Andrew 
Tipping  that shows a nice looking red seat with extra side support and 
front padding in a
Rally car.  There is also nice looking seat on page 101 in a Rally Replica.

Has anyone found such a seat and done the installation ?

Thanks ,

Jim

BN1 Takes First Place at Car Show

My 53 BN1 was the First Place winner at a car show recently.   The event was
the prestigious ObNeil Elementary School 3rd Annual Car Show where  the
entries are judged by the student body.  And while it may not be as  renowned
as the
Pebble Beach Concours dbElegance, winning made my two grandsons  happy.  The
eleven year old was most impressed because a whole herd of  eleven year old
girls came over to inspect and sit in the car, which gave him a  chance to
mingle and impress them with his vast knowledge of Healeys.
The  qualifications for entry into the contest were that the car had to be
somehow  related to one of the students.  Perhaps winning engendered some
interest  in the marque in others besides my  grandson.

Jim,

I don't know if it is what you had in mind but I seem to recall some time ago that the seats from a Pont Fiero will fit in a Healey fine.  I doubt that the attachment can be made to the Healey seat tracks but you could work around that maybe.

I am still trying to get my 64 BJ8 to run smooth.  We rebuilt the
distributor with better points, properly gapped, all new parts, and reset
the timing.  Also put in new HD Lucas coil.  The shop set the carbs and put
in rich needles and it seemed to run better.   Still have low idle miss
especially when cold and sporatic when hot.  What I get now is what I
believe to be backfires right at the carb more so when cold (the carbs were
rebuilt as well professionally).  Are these little backfires common to BJ8s
or do I have a carb problem and what do you suppose is the fix.  When cold
with the chock out I still have to pump the accelerator to keep it
going-lots of hissing and popping right at the carb and from time to time a
small backfire in the exhaust system itself.

That type of running is more common with the 100 Six cars.

You can get it from later cars by having manifold leaks and/or poor  
adjustment of the carbs.

Being a dual manifold that shares a common "gallery" it's pretty easy  
to get the setup wrong. Hint: there's  alot more to it than just  
"syncing" the airflow.

Dan,

Those are all the symptoms of a BJ8 that is too lean, especially before up 
to temperature. BJ8's are notorious for needing LOTS of choke until 
virtually up to full operating temperature. Check to see that both carb jets 
are dropping enough when the chocke cables are pulled out. I know of a lot 
of people who have lost motion in the adjustment of the choke cables 
themselves, thereby limiting the amount of movement the jets can drop for 
the richer mixture required.

I am going to check for a manifold leak (if I can figure out how to do that)
and check the carb setup as provided in the instructions from Jim Taylor.
The shop checked for a mainifold leek and said they found none so I will do
that second.  The car is running a lot hotter than prior and I think this
would be consistent with a lean condition.  This car looks like a million
bucks but runs like a tank.

It sounds as if it is still running too lean.  Richer needles aren't
the whole story, the jet heights have to be set properly too, and an
air leak into the intake manifolding between carbs and head are
another likely source of a too lean mixture.

Basic rule of thumb:  spitting at the carbs means too lean, popping
and backfiring through the exhaust means too rich.  Don't confuse the
six cylinder Healey's exhaust burble with backfiring on this item.

Thanks Rich:
I rebuilt those choke cables myself and just assumed that was all installed
and working right. I will now carefully check the movement.  It sounds like
maybe you suspect the chokes are not working fully to make the carb jets
move sufficiently to allow for a richer mixture and smooth running when
cold.  I must say it does run much better hot put I still get a spitting.
It seems to run hotter than prior to all my work and levels off at about 190
(but shoots up to 212 when shut off I suppose due to no circulation).

Dan,

Those are all the symptoms of a BJ8 that is too lean, especially before up 
to temperature. BJ8's are notorious for needing LOTS of choke until 
virtually up to full operating temperature. Check to see that both carb jets

are dropping enough when the chocke cables are pulled out. I know of a lot 
of people who have lost motion in the adjustment of the choke cables 
themselves, thereby limiting the amount of movement the jets can drop for 
the richer mixture required.

Some basic stuff that is likely review for many:

This may be a stupid question, but when the carbs were  
"professionally rebuilt" were the throttle shaft bushings checked and/ 
or redone to not have air leaks? They can be a major cause of lean  
running (and are essentially a manifold leak.)

About the choke cable (I'm more familiar with earlier carbs) IIRC,  
the motion first should pull the fast idle screw then the last bit of  
motion is to lower the jets. Many don't setup the cable to pull the  
fast idle only and don't bother with the jets or vice versa.

To adjust the carbs mixture (as well as seating the throttle plates  
to close), you need to disconnect the link between the two carbs.  
While they are disconnected and the car is running, you can see if  
one carb is doing more work than the other.

Dan,

A quick way to check for a manifold leak is to take a can of WD 40 and spray 
it on the mating surfaces of the manifold and carbs, also the carb shafts. 
Have the engine running and you will notice a change in RPM when the WD 40 
get sucked in.

easy thing to check for: If you spray starter spray or carb cleaner spray 
around the intake manifold and the engine speeds up, you've got a leak in the 
intake manifold. Most likely will be around the intake gasket, but you can often 
locate the area by spraying a little in different areas. Learned this trick 
from an old friend in vintage racing.

This may be an indication of worn gearbox mounts.  The mounts, if worn
-  the direct linkage will pick up the movement of the gearbox and
transmit it through the linkage to the pedal.

A bit safer way is to direct an open unlit butane canister at possible leak

G'day

I was at Pebble Beach this year and it was magic, but given half a
chance I would have loved to have also been at the O'Neil Elementary
School 3rd Annual Car Show to see how proud your grandkids would have
been when your car carrying off the top prize.

Thank you for such a warm hearted story.

BN1 Takes First Place at Car Show

My 53 BN1 was the First Place winner at a car show recently.   The event
was
the prestigious ObNeil Elementary School 3rd Annual Car Show where  the
entries are judged by the student body.  And while it may not be as
renowned
as the
Pebble Beach Concours dbElegance, winning made my two grandsons  happy.
The
eleven year old was most impressed because a whole herd of  eleven year
old
girls came over to inspect and sit in the car, which gave him a  chance
to
mingle and impress them with his vast knowledge of Healeys.
The  qualifications for entry into the contest were that the car had to
be
somehow  related to one of the students.  Perhaps winning engendered
some
interest  in the marque in others besides my  grandson.

I'm dodging the slashings already but the MGB seats do fit on the rails and
are  mooie comfy.    They recline, lean forward and head rests( or you can 
remove
them when the tonneau goes on).

I have several used pairs and installed a temporary set just to tool around 
in.

Hey at least there English and big time comfort.

Jim -

The other option is to cant the set back a couple of degrees which I've done
on my BJ8 and it makes all the difference in the world.  I put a wedged wood
spacer on top of the seat rail and fiddled a bit with various nuts and bolts
to fit the seat on above the spacer and ... well... I can drive in the BJ8
all day long in perfect comfort.

I too had this problem and what I found out was that one of the support arms 
on the clutch was broken. The surface for the the throw out bear was tilted 
and I had to get the clutch rebuilt. It also wore down the arms on the 
bearing about 1/2 so that the clutch would not completely disingage.

Canting the seat worked for me in my BJ7 too.  I used doorstop rubber 
wedges.  My first couple of years -pre cant- were rather hard on my 
back, but after I'd added the rubber wedges and fiddled with the angle a 
bit by trimming them I had 20+ years of comfort.

Subject: [Healeys] 100 Aluminium Head
Message-ID: <001401c91e4a$02c57d00$bd05704d@tm4>

Hello,

I am wondering if anyone has bought the aluminum head from Dennis Welch. How
is it?

There are also a number of other sellers of the aluminum head - Moss, AH
Spares and probably others. 

Are all these heads the same? Is one better than another?

Is there any performance gain from the aluminum head?

Many thanks for help,

Tadek

Tadek -

The ali heads main benefit is reduced weight.  Also, they are prepped
for unleaded fuel, although your iron head can be adapted for unleaded
too, for about 90% less cost!

The ali heads on the 100, in my opinion, aren't worth the trouble.
The ali head will be very prone to leaking due to slight warping at
the head surface, even the iron heads have problems with leaking, the
ali heads are worse.  You can fix the problem in part by purchasing
the $300 steel head gasket, so it's not just the ali head you have to
pay for if you want to do it right.

If you are racing and you need every edge, yes, otherwise for daily
drivers I'd say no.

Tadeusz--
 
I have a Denis Welch AL head on my 100 which I purchased in 2001 after my  
original head cracked a long way from home, but that is another story.  I  don't 
know what DW is selling now but at the time there were three stages  of 
porting available and I opted for the middle one (fast street or fast rallye  as I 
recall) along with the matching tubular steel headers.  I also  purchased the 
recommended steel head gasket, hardened studs, etc.
 
I have had no problems, seeping, etc. and have probably  put 50K miles on the 
car since then, including trips across the US and from  Canada to Mexico.  I 
believe I have only retorqued the head  once--maybe I should do that, or 
perhaps leave best alone.
 
The DW head is an expensive item and if you are not having problems with  
your iron one there is probably no good reason to change now unless you are on a  
serious weight reduction program or want a performance upgrade.  At the  time 
I bought mine Southern Carburettor (UK) was also making an AL head--perhaps  
they are the Moss source.  It's interesting to contemplate that more than  one 
company has gone to the trouble and cost of developing a  replacement head 
for a the production of which was only 10,000  units.  But as they say, there 
are two kinds of 100 heads:   Those that have cracked and those waiting to....

The two Alloy heads are different. The one Moss sells is from SC it  
has a single piece of steel inserted into the head with two valve  
seats cut into it. The DW head has two separate valve seats installed  
into the head. As for the port work I have not seen the SC head but  
the DW head has had extensive port work and the large mass in the  
ports that is blocking the air flow has been removed. They increase  
performance a lot they also help cooling, reduce weight, as well as  
decrease run on.

We have installed many alloy heads and have lots of good responses to  
them. As well as since most cast heads have or will crack and the  
repairs to these heads usually fails then the alloy head is the best  
answer.

The leaking head gasket problem will happen no matter what until you  
install a multi piece steel head gasket with hardened studs.

Wow!...

I have to say, I love the list.. The response is just overwhelming.. Reading
it is such a joy..

Josef, David, Roland, Michael, Marvin, Alan, Gary and all - Great thanks for
your thoughts..

Now - if I won the lottery and wanted to go for the aluminium head, the M
modifications and the 100M Omega forged pistons that Denis Welch offers,
would this be a good result? Or is there any other way to go?

There is also something called 100M tubular manifold - was it an M
modification??..

How much power would this come up to??...

Thanks, Tadek

Is that what's known as "figure eight" valve seats?

Tadek,

I spoke with Denis Welch some years ago about his heads and other issues.
Originally the Aluminum head was completely redesigned by SC to improve the
breathing.  Denis Welch initially used the same casting but has modified it
over the years to improve what he saw were shortcomings in various areas.  I
don't know if he is still using the same casting or not, but I assume that
both source the same basic casting from one foundry.  I believe that Denis
has a bit more input now than when he first started.

Several years ago I visited with Mark Lambert of Nashville, TN who was
technical adviser for the club at the time.  Mark has done the only real
technical evaluation of the aluminum head (The SC version) that I know of
and the results were impressive.  According to Mark the original power band
of the engine with the cast iron head was 2,500 to 3,500 rpm.  The power
band with the new head (stock H4 carburetors) was increased to 2,200 to
4,200 rpm.  Mark also claimed that a 100 set up with the aluminum head and
stock carburetors would outrun a stock car with the LeMans setup as
delivered from the factory, all do to improved breathing in the head.  The
LeMans modified cars with the H6 carbs were trying to force more air into an
already restrictive stock head which of course assumes that the iron head
was not modified (ported and polished.)

Even then, according to Mark there was just so much you could do to open up
the original iron unit which is one reason that led to SC's decision design
a new head.  And, there is Micheal's quote which I also use, that it's just
a matter of time before an iron head will crack this making the supply of
original heads a diminishing resource.

Speaking of Tonneaus and MG's, I learned at the awesome Healey event this past
weekend at the Jack Daniels Distillery in TN, that the tonneau and boot cover
I have for my BN7 is really for an older MGB (one without headrests). and, I
assume all the healeys there caused Nashville to run out of gas from which it
has yet to recover !

The good news is the puzzle is solved, the bad news : anyone need a tonneau
and boot cover for an MGB?  They are what appear to be the original English
product.
I need a tonneau for the BN7 MK1 if anyone has one laying around.

Thanks,

G'day

I don't know whether I wholly agree that a BN1 box couldn't handle the
additional power.

Sure they are to prone breakages of 2nd gear in both the gear and
cluster (laygear), but I have found that the BN1 box will last, as long
as it's assembled correctly.

It is very important that the teeth in both the gear and the cluster are
100% aligned. That is the job of the spacers that are fitted over the
layshaft at either end of the cluster. Of course the various size
spacers that were available back then would have to be remanufactured
today.

BN1s were raced for years during the 1950s without the problems of
breakages experienced in later times and that was achieved through
careful assembly.

Alan raises an interesting point that I never thought of till his  post--my 
second gear broke about one year after the engine was redone with  the DW stage 
2 head, hot cam, etc.  To my knowledge the  gearbox had never been 
disassembled so I don't think its failure can  necessarily be laid at the feet of 
misalignment.

Fellow Healeyoids,
I'm in the middle of installing a Heritage carpet kit on my 63 BJ7.  I'm
having a hell of a time getting the gearbox tunnel carpet to fit the
contours of the tunnel..  I have to put the snaps in the carpet and I keep
having to remove and move them over a 1/4 inch here or a 1/2 inch there to
get the carpet tight.  I have given up on the snaps totally and have already
wasted too much time on them.  I will not revisit that no matter what.  It
is real bitch!  Anyway, I had a thought about installing Velcro to the
carpet back and on the dynamat which is on the tunnel and floor.  Has
anybody done this and does it work?  Thanks!

Message-ID: <0A443DA373EC477F9C5E092389C8C126@DC2LDS61>

First off, thank you all for responding to me question regarding estimates
for my extra transmission I sent on 9/20 but now that's all out the window.
My mechanic I'm dealing with, who has business for 30 plus years, opened up
the gear box of my original transmission and discovered that the teeth of
first gear had been chewed off, like somebody downshifted into first at a
high rate of speed according to him.  When he checked my extra transmission,
he said that it was in pretty bad shape too.  He told me that for starters
the cluster gear (or lay gear) as well as the first gear sliding hub need
replacing.  He has contacted everyone he can think of including his contacts
in England as well as Norman Nock and can't find replacements.  I really
don't want to go to the Toyota conversion as I've put a lot of time and
effort to stay as original as possible over the last two and a half years.
Does anyone have any suggestions who I can contact for replacement parts?
Unless I'm the only one who has ever had this problem, there's got to be
someone out there that has these parts.  Any help would be greatly
appreciated and would lead to putting another Healey back on the road.



Thanks,

The tunnel carpet is best fitted by a proper upholstery shop.  There's no
way around this.  It requires alot of cutting, sewing and manhandling.

Based on the shape of the tunnel I have to concur with Alan. It's a
really odd shape to try and attach fabric to. I've done the velcro bit
in the past, but on other cars. I've found it to be really useful
attaching fabric over areas where the wiring harness runs.

That being said, I've learned the hard way that any hot area (like a
transmission tunnel) will greatly exceed the adhesive ability of
normal velcro. The only way to get it to hold is to buy the velcro
without adhesie and glue it down with something really strong.

In many cases it's a 50/50 solution. I'd only recommend the velcro
trick if it's an area that you'll be accessing frequently.

Randy,

First of all I should state up front that the original centre shift tunnel 
carpet didn't fit very well either, too many lumps, bumps and contours. That 
said, you should be able to get a reasonable fit with the Heritage kit and 4 
snaps down each side.
Here are 4 pictures of Heritage's Karvel carpet fitted to a centre shift 
tricarb, which has the same centre shift gearbox cover as your BJ7, and this 
car achived a Gold Concours award when finished. Note the arm rest pad had 
not been sewn into place when these pictures were taken.

Alan

I don't agree; it is more about the way one drives than the power. Maybe 
if one goes in for racing then this is a different matter but if one 
changes gear appropriately then one should not have problems.

Just to give you an example a gearbox that I still use in a 100 was 
before it was converted to take an overdrive in a A70 Hereford. As you 
know this is a heavy car similar to your Atlantic. However I had fitted 
a Le Mans 100 engine. Also I frequently towed a trailer made from an A70 
pick up with as much as a 1 ton load in it at times. I ran this way for 
about five years and as I say I still use the same gearbox. It is still 
in good order. Mind you I did shear off a half shaft where it enters the 
diff wheels but that is another matter.

Regards

I sympathize.     If you put the snap and screw in the floor (tunnel)first 
then feel for the snap
with the "carpet half of snap" they should meet up eventually. Its fiddly 
but doable.  What I have heard is that the tunnel carpet isn't suppose to 
fit snug anyway.

However,  the Velcro thing is a good idea but over time the chinsy adhesive 
tends to
let loose on the Velcro.   And for that matter I had a heck of a time 
getting it to stick
permanently to the back of the carpet, and I even tried to use different 
types of glue.
If you can get some staples to hold it in that
should last a long time.   No problem getting the velcro to stick to the 
bare floor but
the carpet backing did not hold it well at all, especially when you try to 
separate the
2 Velcro halves, the adhesive always let loose first,  a real pisser.

Maybe they make  Gorilla Velcro now,  ; )

Mark

Curt and all,

 

Many thanks for your reply - this is a very interesting topic - 

 

Is there any material published on tuning the 4 cylinder engines with what
is available on the market?

 

I do know of Mike Salter's blog, but is there any other place??

 

Many thanks,

 

Tadek

Think I'll vote for this guy... <mailto:grundoon627 at gmail.com> 

Subject: New bailout plan using common sense

I haven't done all the math on this but it surely sounds good compared

to reading my stock/money market report this month!

Something to think about...

I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve
It Dividend.

To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,00 bonafide U.S.
Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman

and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+  into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.  

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a  We Deserve It
Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let's assume a tax rate of 30%  

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. 

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam. 

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. 

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family? 

Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads

Put away money for college - it'll be there 

Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.& nbsp;

Buy a new car - create jobs 

Invest in the market - capital drives growth 

Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves 

Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else 

Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+  including the folks

who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company 

that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of
trickling out

a puny $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being

proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S
Citizen 18+!

As for AIG - liquidate it  Sell off its parts.

Let American General go back to being American General.  Sell off the real
estate.

Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!  

How do you spell Economic Boom? 

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington
DC.

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5
Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest. Kindest personal
regards,

Birk

T. J. Birkenmeier, A Creative Guy & Citizen of the Republic

PS:  Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for

a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85

Billion!!

Hello, Healeyphiles -

At the suggestion of a lister, I am attempting to publicize the fact that
the BJ8 Registry is interested in recording the serial numbers of all
"orphan" and spare parts that anyone may have on hand, such as engines,
gearboxes and rear axles.  With these, I can find out from BMIHT the chassis
number of the car that left the factory with that item.  If the donor car
still exists, the owner may be interested in buying back his/her original
part.  This has already happened in the case of two BJ8 engines that I know
of.  
If there is no current record of the existence of the donor car, then the
serial numbers of its parts might be the only clue to a car that no longer
exists.  Since the BJ8 registry is trying to determine the fate/current
status of every single one of the 17,712 cars originally manufactured, any
clue is of value.

Thanks for listening.

You're right. A few too many 0's on the original figure per person. This is 
how bad info gets sent all over the internet unless people sit down and

Fellow Healeyoids,

Again, thanks for the pics Rich.  These help immensely.  Also thanks to all
who helped.  I guess that the carpet will always be somewhat rumpled.  I
also guess that the adhesive properties of Velcro will exceed the adhesive
properties of the glue to hold it down.  I will futz around with the snaps
some more I suppose.  I'm tempted to glue the carpet to the tunnel but I
know that I will have to remove it.  It is so frustrating.  I just want to
drive my Healey before the snow flies.

Randy,

First of all I should state up front that the original centre shift tunnel
carpet didn't fit very well either, too many lumps, bumps and contours. That
said, you should be able to get a reasonable fit with the Heritage kit and 4
snaps down each side.
Here are 4 pictures of Heritage's Karvel carpet fitted to a centre shift
tricarb, which has the same centre shift gearbox cover as your BJ7, and this
car achived a Gold Concours award when finished. Note the arm rest pad had
not been sewn into place when these pictures were taken.

 When Jensen wanted to use Velcro on the Interceptor, they stitched it
into the underlying leather or fabric. No adhesive.

Replace one bolt at a time and install 2  3/8 all thread rods about  
12" long with a flat washer and nut on each end.  Then remove the two  
other bolts holding the plate to the lower control arms. Then start  
loosening up the two long threaded rods.  This will lower the shock  
plate and then you can remove the spring. This will also work to re  
install the springs.

This is a great method. Not to cavil, but you might feel safer with 3 rods.
2 are plenty, but it just looks a bit dodgy!

Sounds like a great idea for the arm rest.

Just got to figure out how I'm going to get the Healey to fit
under the needle of my sewing machine. ; )

We usually take out two bolts on opposite corners of the spring perch /
a arm bracket. Insert a 3/8 threaded rod and nuts on each end. (Double
on one end). After both are tightened, take out the opposite two bolts
then start cranking the nuts down on the threaded rod. Very helpful to
have an " O-Ratchet and socket kit" , in place of moving the wrench
every so many inches. Others may have better ideas, this works for us.

One more variation:

I use four lengths of allthread; with less, sometimes the spring/plate gets cocked and bound up.

I shortened the allthreads to about 7" (just long enough to unload/load the spring most of the way).  That way, I can use a deep socket on an air ratchet to loosen/tighten the nuts on top and bottom of the A-arms (turning a nut on a fine thread a little at a time by hand gets tiresome in a hurry).

Find someone with a "walking foot" sewing machine.  I take mine to a lady 
who makes boat covers and other canvas things for boats.  She runs the 
stiches on the little lip at the bottom of the arm rest.  Lay the arm rest 
where you want it on the carpet, draw a line around it with chalk, and have 
it sewn on where the outline is, and brush off the chalk.

Here is a simple solution.  Give every homeowner in trouble a two year
moratorium to restructure their loan payments at their current lender so
those that want to stay in their homes can.  Bail out the lenders until they
can collect in the form of a loan to be repaid.  Have some review of their
expenses including executive compensation as part of the deal.

I have no problem with the bail out deal BUT it should be like the  
Chrysler deal was in the 80s and it should be a LOAN. Also the greedy  
ass corporate leaders should be put on a tight ass leash and there  
expenses monitored. They also should not get away with this free and  
clear there assets should be put up as a sort of collateral just like  
if you or were to go get a loan from them.

Here lies the basic falacy in the whole idea.  Uncle can borrow any amount he wants.  Why stop at $85000000000??????  It is only going to run up our credit card balance (read national debt).  Hell, we are already in the trillions, just add a few more trillion.  Very very bad role model this proposal is for those who are running up their own personal credit card debt - keep running it up and never balance it off or reducre the principle.

And besides if the amount of money cited by the proposal were given to those on welfare, what would happen to our welfare system????  It just might fold up and blow away!  :)  :)  :)

Bob, the guides go into two slots (one at top and one at bottom) of the
front glass frame, and one slot in the lower frame piece at the rear.  They
are held in place by the glass inserted into the frame.

Do we all have to wade through all your American's U.S political crap until

This has nothing to do with Healeys so please take it somewhere else. I know

Just a couple of suggestions to some recent queries,
1) Would an electric pencil scribe deep enough chines into the wiper arm stub
to allow for an adequate grasp? Perhaps many passes or too many - I don't know
the hardness of the stubs.
2) Would not sewing the velcro to the carpeting be a solution that superceeds
glue? Small pop rivets could secure the other half to the floor (ouch!, I
know).
Hope these suggestions achieve a result.

 They mixed up the good styling of Jaguar XK, Healey and Morgan and put high
quality BMW technology in it.
That4s what sells.

I think the front headlights are also reminiscent of the Jensen CV-8.

When I lived in Connecticut, I lived about 25 miles north of Paul Newsman's 
home in Westport, CT.  One evening a group of us went out to dinner about half 
way to Westport and who was there, but Paul, his wife Joanne and another 
couple.  We were all aware of how private he was, so didn't make a commotion.  When 
they left, just as we were too, they walked by our table and he nodded and 
smiled.  Our ladies almost wet their drawers!
We got to the parking lot to see him drive off in his VW Beetle.  It was 
known that he had a Porsche engine in it.
What ever he did in life, he did well.

Awesome car... styling however is a german interpretation of british,
unfortunately.  If they had an italian designer reinterpret the british
design + german chassis... you'd probably have a world famous car.

Its something like the HMC Healey Replica, which was/is produced. I
would prefer the Lotus Elite or Elise. Same fun, half price of a
Wiesmann Roadster. But all are just fun cars, no real benefit for daily

Sam -

Early BN1s had adjustable steering.  If so just loosen the grub screws
on the steering hub and you can partially pull out the trafficator.

If you have fixed steering, you have to first loosen the olive nut at
the front of the stator tube on the front of the steering.

Either way you don't need to pull the steering wheel, just don't pull
the traff wires too far into the stator tube unless you tie a string
to them so you can pull it through later.

Sam--before you pull anything, check the connections at the front frame
cross piece where the wires from the trafficator connect to the frame
harness.  I suspect you have the green (power) line and the green with light
green wires switched.  That would give you directionals on the right and
none on the left.  As far as the horn in concerned, check that the ground
wire is in place at the frame harness.  Also check to see that fuse A1-A2 is
good.  Save yourself as much trouble as possible beforehand.  Pulling the
trafficator can be a pain.  John Trifari  Golden Gate Austin Healey Club

Subject: [Healeys] Traficator Problem
Message-ID: <48720d20809281457h6f5163cdl1b08b6d6d8e34571@mail.gmail.com>

Before I  look at the traficator, I would look at the relay box on the left
( at least on my BT7) inner fender. There is an excellent diagram on the
inner front cover of Norman Nock's *Tech Talk, *although I'm sure there .are
a number of web sites with diagrams and explanations.

My right turn signal doesn't  work. I pushed the traficator lever to the
left, and checked for current at terminal eight, and found that I had
curent. That meant that the current was flowing through the trafficator to
the relay box, the problem is in the box, rather than the trafficator. If
you stand near the box and have someone move the travicator lever, you might
hear the sound of the relay closing. The wire from the traficator to the
relay box for the left hand signals is number 4. It is at the end of the box
that is pointy.I think it is on the right hand side. The terminal opposite,
8,  is for the right hand turn signal.

I have to get inside the box to clean and bend the contacts a bit to get it
to work. Most, but not all have covers that can by pried off.

Good luck,

Jack *

Do you have to pull the steering column to get at the wires under the horn
button on a BN1? My horn doesn't work, only right turn signal works, so I
suspect the traffiicator. Any enlightenment on the subject? Can't find
anything in the archives.
Thanks in advance,

Len and others.

There is a chance I MAY be moving to Modesto sometime in the next
year.  I have seen many of these posts in the past talking about CA
regulating the hobby.  Is California heading down a path that would
make it unfriendly to classic car owners, or are these bills more of a
nuisance?

If ownership of my Healey would become a great burden if we lived in
CA, especially if it was taxed and regulated to the point I couldn't
enjoy the car, I would have to consider that before accepting a job
out there.

Patton:  I believe that there are individuals and organizations out there 
that would like to see all old cars removed totally from the road.  This 
does not apply to California alone.  There are fourteen (I think) other 
states that follow California in it's pollution policies.  The 
individuals/organizations believe that SMOG should be reduced to zero and no 
costs, economic or social, should be considered.  Back in April, 2005, the 
spokesperson for the American Lung Association of California stated, before 
a vote of the Air Resources Board that unanimously adopted a new limit on 
ozone levels, that the board should only consider public health - not 
expense - when considering the new guideline.

AB 616 and AB 3035 did not impact our Healeys as they are currently exempt 
and would continue to be so.  However, once a foot gets in the door, or the 
camel gets its nose under the tent, or......I think you get the idea.

The problem is serious enough that organizations such as the Association of 
California Car Clubs, Sema Action Network, and individual car clubs keep 
tabs on pending legislation and alert their members.  Contact with our 
legislators is encouraged and it appears that such action may have been the 
reason for AB 3053 not passing.  Considering the number of car clubs in 
existance for virtually every model and year of automobile, I am hopeful 
that that we can continue to prevent further intrusion into our 'hobby'.

Fellow Healeyoids,
Well I got my carpet installed on my gearbox cover after a lot of cussing
and several good German beers.  I'm in need of some pics regarding the rear
seat back and how and where it mounts on my 63 BJ7.  I also would like some
pics or measurements as to where and how many screws are in the rear inner
quarter vinyl piece.  While I'm at it, I have a Heritage carpet kit and
where does the roughly, J-shaped piece of carpet attach on the inner fender
well?  I know that Rich is out there and likely has some nice pics.  I
really owe him. Thanks in advance to all!

I sure hope not; my parents live in Modesto and that is where we're 
restoring our 100M.

AFAIK, CA was the first state with the smog exemption(s) for older 
cars.  Yes, they still try to "take my old junker off the road" for $700 
... I told them I'd consider $45,000 and haven't heard from them since 
;)  Also, some wienie legislator managed to make home auto painting 
illegal after 2010; he tried to get himself an extension to term limits 
and all but got run out of the state.

There's other aspects to this; yes, there are old smoggers that SHOULD 
be taken off the road (if your Healey leaves a cloud of blue smoke 
behind you then shame on you--rebuild your engine or at least the head 
else you give all Healey owners a bad name).  If not for reasonable 
measures (catalytic converters, smog checks, etc.) the air in CA might 
be unbreathable by now (as bad or worse than Los Angeles in the 
summer).   In fact, the Central Valley--of which Modesto is almost smack 
dead center--does get a little smoggy in the summer, in part, at least, 
to smog that gets blown in from the Bay Area.

As mentioned, there's a lot of $$$ at stake in the "old car" hobby; I 
don't lose any sleep worrying about somebody confiscating my Healeys in 
my lifetime.  I've never gotten anything but praise and compliments from 
CA people for my Healey, the only sour note came from a tree-hugger type 
in Oregon.  I'd stay away from there.

Oh, BTW, your Healey should cost about $65/year to register, and there 
are no other taxes that I know of.  Your insurance--depending on the 
provider and the policy--may limit your mileage and usage, but the great 
state of California couldn't care less.

California is car country; always has been and probably always will be.

Hello

I have updated Vintage-Sportscar-Touring.ca especially the Custom Made

straps available; Vintage-Roadster-Restorations has hardtop spigots 
available,
these are nicely hand crafted and  from Mr Finespanner, a 2008 price list
which covers his brake lines, fuel lines and slave cylinder bleeder.  
For those
considering any of these items I would suggest saving this e-mail.

If it's any consolation, it is a very exciting race, even if you know

I am very envious. For the last two years I was living in Milan and

Find someone with a "walking foot" sewing machine.  I take mine to a lady
who makes boat covers and other canvas things for boats.  She runs the
stiches on the little lip at the bottom of the arm rest.  Lay the arm rest
where you want it on the carpet, draw a line around it with chalk, and have
it sewn on where the outline is, and brush off the chalk.

Jim,

Please post your findings.

There was a similar discussion a while back, and the brand name "County" was the only one mentioned.  There were some positive reviews, but quite a few negative.  I had good luck with a County-brand water pump, but that's not bearings ;)

Message-ID: <20080929.104730.20756.0@webmail17.dca.untd.com>

I was out for a drive to Lake Tahoe this weekend when suddenly the
transmission started making a disturbing noise while in third gear.  The loud
"whine" occurs uphill as well as down, or if using the transmission to power
brake while downshifting.  The vehicle is a 1964 BJ8 with 68,000 original
miles and I have never heard such a noise before.  1st, 2nd and 4th gears are
quiet, the tranny has synthetic oil.  The overdrive continues to work as
designed.  Any comments, suggestions or thoughts on my problem?  Much
appreciated, Frank

The question of headlight adjustment was covered in detail by the master 
guru (Rich Chrysler).  If you look in the archives under "Headlight 
Adjustment" it will pop up.  The method isn't done in the garage but is 
pretty simple.  Let me know if you can't find it.

The following is how I've always set headlamps on LHD car driving on the 
right side of the road here in North America.

Many years ago my Dad went along with me to show me how to aim the headlamps

on my old '61 MGA. We went out onto a quiet straight flat stretch of country

road at night and stopped on the road in the normal lane position of travel 
(making sure it was a place where there would be no other traffic). With 
headlamp rings already removed and adjusters accessible, we first placed my 
jacket over the left headlamp and proceeded to aim the right lamp so the 
beam was about 30 ft. ahead and clearly defining the edge of the pavement 
and the shoulder. I was told that this is important when having to find the 
edge of the road in bad conditions such as fog, snow and so on.

Then we proceeded to cover the right lamp and aim the left. This was set 
about straight ahead and much further out, about 80 ft. or so, and being 
careful that it did not shine to the left to impair oncoming drivers.

This has the lamps working as a team, curbside one to always clearly light 
the right edge of the road and onto the shoulder somewhat, while the left 
showed up the distance.

A double check was done by checking the high beam to make sure the left 
(distance) lamp still did not shine too high and be useless or too far to 
the oncoming lane.

It's always worked well for me.

If you google "aiming headlights" or "headlight adjustment" you will get 
several links to sites that describe and show graphics on how to adjust 
headlights against a wall.  They are similar but do have some differences on 
where to precisely aim them.

G'day

Just spoke to Steve Pike and he does have reproduction 100S oil coolers
on his shelf right now. However Steve says that to fit one to a car
requires more than just the cooler itself. There is also the filter, oil
lines, banjo connections and the connections to the engine itself.

Steve estimates that all up it's likely to cost around Aus$2,000 to fit
one. For those who need to know the US equivalent, that's around
US$1,600.00.

All -

With my BJ8 in the resto shop I have to think about interiors.

I would like to put a factory color red - leather option seats in my BJ8.  I
know there are several sources for this but these are my thoughts:

1) Many of you swear by Heritage.  My only complaint is every picture I've
seen of a heritage interior looks way too nice and not quite like the
factory.
2) I'd like an interior more like a factory look, but then again I don't
want it cheap looking either.  Where can I get something like this?

If I do go with a heritage interior, how does it work?  Do I send them all
of my hardware and they build the seats for me?  What sort of prices would I
be looking at?  How long do they take?

I had a similar noise issue in the right front and noted the oil level in my
idler arm was very low.  I filled it and it went away. I found the problem by
having someone work the steering wheel for play in the steering system while I
looked underneath for the source of the "thunk"

A) Well the factory stuff was pretty nice before 40 years of age and 
deterioration, or at the very least "patina' set in.
> 2) I'd like an interior more like a factory look, but then again I don't

A) I've found Heritage's products to be among the best choices today, using 
their Red Karvel carpets and as for red in a BJ8 may I suggest their 
"Pharoah Red", an excellent match for colour to the original Ambla vinyl.

A) You could just send for the kits for everything, but it's been my 
experience that the best results are achieved by sending them the seat 
frames, metal backs and pans (if they're okay), the switch panel, the 
console and stainless steel strips, the arm rest metal, the rear seat pans, 
and any useable parts of the rear fold down squab assembly. I have them 
supply the dash top, build up all the above items, and receive everything 
else as kits. Ball park pricing will be around $7000 including shop labour, 
and that has always included having them supply the top, tonneau cover, boot 
cover, and stowage bags. Depending on the time of year and therefore their 
back log of work, it could take from 10 weeks to 5 months.
Please note that I cannot speak for them, but this has been my personal 
experience over the last 8 years and about 10 complete interior orders, 
which I have installed into customers cars.
I'd suggest you contact them yourself and they will prepare a complete quote 
(with samples) which they always stick to right to the penny.

Alan?   I thought you were a "do it yourselfer" ; )     Order the Heritage 
kit and Do It Yourself.
I guarantee it will look more like the factory and less like a Concourse 
Beauty.

I had much better success with the Moss Seat kits than Heritage.   For some 
reason  Mossesssss
were more forgiving and looked better.   Less fluff and puff.  (and less 
expensive)

   But Heritage sure puts together a nice unit when they
do it themselves.   And in some cases ,  too nice as you mentioned.

Some folks like that neat, non lived in look .

Alan,

To add to what Rich said, I had all but the seat pans powder coated before I
sent them to Heritage when I had my interior done.  Although I was not
requested to do this Duncan indicated the seat covers went on easier when this
is done.  I felt that the "slickness" of a powder coated surface would produce
less stress on the leather-to-metal contact surfaces over the years.

Hello all,

I have a complete set of BJ8 windscreen frame parts that require rechroming. I
was able to get everything apart, but am extremely reluctant to drill out and
remove the rivets that fasten the left and right posts to their stainless
steel mounting stanchions.

Has anybody done this successfully, found identical rivets and reassembled
after chroming?

I would prefer to leave these assemblies intact if a chroming shop can work
around them. Any voices of experience out there?

I should mention that by the time the main leather/ vinyl cover is ready to be
pulled over the back shell, there should be no exposed metal anywhere for it
to slide on.  The main foam horseshoe pad is tightly folded over the beaded
metal edge of the pan and taped onto the back with wide cloth tape.  The
entire back is then covered with a sheet of thin felt, or for the BJ8's 1/8"
foam.  The hinge "ears" are also completely covered with felt.  A good
slippery modern felt substitute is thin landau padding.  Then a very light
plastic bag material (like dry cleaning bags) is draped over the entire seat
back to help the leather cover slide on ( a shot of silicone spray does this
job as well, but you have to be very careful it doesn't get onto the sunken
section that is glued to the cover's pleats ).   If anything, the adhesive
used to attach the foam to the metal pan sticks less well to a slick painted
surface than to a slightly roughish surface.  When the glue is dry, its much
easier to roll the glue off with your fingers from a slick shiny surface than
a rough or even rusty one.

Best,
Peter

    Rich, we have all the rivets in stock.  Re-riveting after the pieces are 
chromed is something of a difficult task, because the rivets are obstructed. 
But it can be done.  We did one quite recently.

The definition of Concours is that is IS exactly what it looked like from
the factory!

And it's Concours as in Concours d'Elegance not concourse, as in the airport
concourse.

Curt

If you want to get REALLY picky, the Concours we are involved with these days
is no longer a Concours d'Elegance, but a Concours d'Etat.

In the twenties and thirties it actually WAS a Contest of Elegance, where the
custom coachbuilders vied for the honor of having created the most beautiful
coachwork, judged on the basis of artistic merit, subtlety of line, colour and
proportion.  Often a beautiful lady in a dress custom made to complement the
car's colour scheme was part of the whole package.

Nowdays its largely a Concours d'Etat , or Contest of Condition, where the
condition of the car is evaluated on a point by point basis under various
parameters- originality, quality of finish, etc.  In the end, we do have a
pretty elegant car, as it has always been, but that's not really the point
these days. One car is not really more elegant than the other, its the same
but is in a different condition.  And more often than not, the owner picks up
his plaque in T-shirt and shorts.

The original notion of a contest of elegance was a much more subjective,
subtle and artistic idea than it is now.

Rich,
I was recently faced with the same dilemma. I couldn't find rivets that  
matched the originals, although I suspect they must exist somewhere. Further,  I 
was concerned about my ability to re-rivet the joint correctly. I.E.  replicate 
the look & structural integrity. This particular joint needs  to be very 
secure because of the load imposed on the windshield from the  convertible top & 
also when a passenger uses the windshield as a grab handle  to get in & out. I 
left the two parts attached & sent them off  for plating. At that time, I 
didn't realize that the stanchions were  stainless steel. The plater reported that 
they were stainless, but only after he  had replated them. They came back 
looking just fine, but to this day I don't  know if he plated over the stainless 
or somehow mask off the stainless,  or perhaps stainless won't take chrome 
plating. 
The plating was done in Kansas City, but an intermediate party dealt with  
the plater for me so I don't have a direct was to verify how the job was  done. 
It would probably be best to discuss this with your prospective  plater.

Has anybody done this  successfully, found identical rivets and reassembled
after  chroming?

I would prefer to leave these assemblies intact if a chroming  shop can work
around them. Any voices of experience out there?

  Now I'm in a real quandry. My plating shop insists on deriveting the
assemblies, stating that the stainless portions won't hold chrome and it will
peel and flake off making quite a mess, and also stated that the chromed areas
up against the stainless pieces will likely not set properly and will not be
able to be polished out properly.

  Meanwhile 7 people replied to my inquiry today, 5 of them stating that left
together they had no problems with the plating.

  I have left them with the plater who will be drilling out all the rivets,
and Bob Yule states that it's difficult to rerivet but it can be done and he
has all the rivets in stock. So I'm going to go that route and see what
happens. Hey Bob, want a riveting job??

Struth you blokes.

You did know that only those who are born in Australia or who are
naturalised Australians are permitted to use such terms as "Hoo Roo"?

If you continue to flaunt the laws of a country where the stock exchange
yesterday dropped half of what happened in the US, I will have no other
recourse than to send a Translated Word Authority Technician (TWAT)
around to your place and leave a very large pile of Wombat poo at your

Len and Listers,

I would opt not for free antivirus software.  Free antivirus is just that
...free and barely adequate.  Would you underinsure your Healey hoping not
to have an accident?  

You get what you pay for when it comes to antivirus products.  My best
advice is to spend the money on a quality product.  Their staff cracks
viruses and offer updates  much faster than the free ones. 

You will spend much more on a PC cleaning by a technician when you get hung
out to dry when the free versions of antivirus fails to deliver.

Just my humble (and educated IT) opinion.

Ok, I'l take off my Healey Hat and put on my Computer Hat.

In my daily role I serve as a Systems Architect for Wells Fargo. My
specialty is windows based systems (but I stil do mainframe and Java).

AVG is what I use on my home PCs, and is what I recommend for any
small to mid-level company. Their software has kept me virus free for
nearly a decade. It's good stuff. Now, I recommend the home license (I
believe it's 5 PCs total), but my wife's laptop still runs the free
version.

McAfee does strange things to your computer, Norton slows it to nearly
half it's capacity of full security mode. I loathe both of these
products. At work we use another product (I can't mention it). It's
about the same quality as AVGs full version in my consideration.

Security software is *extremely* important. Anyone not using it is an
idiot. But, for the home user worl I recommend AVG. It's a much
smaller footprint and works extremely well.

I also detest Norton for the reason Jody gives although I understand that
they have a new version of their security suite (still may be in Beta) that
so far is getting superb reviews and a major PC magazine is now thinking of
recommending it. (I use Zone Alarm security suite and am very happy with it)

NOT true.
John, I recognize your IT experience is different than my experience.  (But I'm not running for VP.)  I have had one computer negatively affected by McAfee, and another computer negatively affected by Norton Symantec.  Not irretrievably in either case, in part because I have more experience with computers than the average citizen wants to have, but quite irritating nonetheless.  I don't plan to throw my $$ at either again.  Avast works just fine; I like it better than AVG since it doesn't add AVG's irritating tag to outgoing Emails.
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

I have seen people argue vehemently for one or the other based on a very small sample size.  I doubt that either AVG or Avast works notably better than the other in the real world.  And my impression is that that goes for Symantec & McAfee bloatware as well, certainly not enough better to warrant the yearly $$.

Rich,

I wanted to leave mine intact too but my chrome shop insisted that it needed
to come apart for the chrome job.  I found an aircraft mechanic that installs
probably 7-8 hundred rivets each day with pneumatic tools who did a very
respectable job using some of the Nock's rivets and some of his own.  It's
like everything thing else on a 40+ year old car, the same size rivets are too
small for replacements so you have to improvize a little to get the job done.


If I had it to do again I would not be in such a hurry and try to find a shop
to chrome everything all together.  Now that mine is done I know of a shop
that chromed a gold level bj8 (GBM conclave, Vermont), and did an excellent
job.  We all know their work now and that is where I would send mine if I had
it to do over again.  Even if you find someone to replace the rivets I think
the bucking process runs a risk of causing the chrome to flake around the
rivets.


That my two cents,

George Haywood
'65 bj8

Hello Listmates,  I have been vintage racing my 3000 for over 25 years. I have
used Vandervell, AE, Glacier and ACL. All are high quality bearings. Then, one
time I used County bearings because of the unavailability of the others. As
fate would have it, my harmonic damper hub came loose (a slip fit Denis Welch
product) and fretted the end of my crank. Out came the engine and a semi
tear-down in order to replace the crank. This engine only had 5 hours on it.
The County bearings were breaking up with fatique cracks thoughout. I had
never seen anything like it and neither had my engine builder. We sent the
bearings to King bearing company. They make the bearings in Israel under the
"County" name. According to King it was all my fault - I had over revved the
engine, the journals were out of round and some other bogus excuse I cannot
remember right now. I usually get two or three seasons from one rebuild,
depending on the number of race weekends. With County you get a few hours. I
am not alone in my experience. Beware of County.  Richard.

While I claim to NOT have "IT" 'sperience<G>, I DO claim to having had run
my business on the net for a tad more than 15 years, so my $2.00<G>!!

<<I have had one computer negatively affected by McAfee, and another
computer negatively affected by Norton Symantec.  Not irretrievably in
either case, in part because I have more experience with computers than the
average citizen wants to have, but quite irritating nonetheless.>>

MORE than 1 in EACH case, Richard.  "irritating" is NOT the "word",
IMHO (especially since I DO need my 'boxes'!).

Around 10 ears ago I got turned on to Computer Associates eTrust Suite
and have NEVER turned back not regretted it.  I have had ZERO 'box'
probs as most folks experience with McA or N.  ZERO.  NADA. ZILCH!!

About 4 or 5 years ago, CA (I am guessing) bought or bought licensing from
Zone Alarm (I had it on a 'box' so recognized it right away<G>) and it
is NOW part of the eTrust Suite.

The eTrust Suite has a VERY small footprint and does exactly what you PRAY
the 'free' stuff (you DO get what you pay for) is supposed to do.

In the interest of just being nosy and possibly save a few bucks annually,
I DID try a bunch of the freebies.  I ALSO HATED the mandatory sig
applied to every mail, and frankly just didn't trust it!!

So FWIW and FYI:

http://shop.ca.com/malware/internet_security_suite.aspx

$70 for 3 'boxes' is CHEAP to me!!  NO F.I., yada, yada, etc.!!

Richard,
I also prefer the Avast free anti-virus software and have tried pretty
much all of them over the years.  I am an IT profession as well and got
tired of paying the major vendors $$ every year. They use to update
virus definition files for free now they want to sell you new software
every year.

NOT true.
John, I recognize your IT experience is different than my experience.
(But I'm not running for VP.)  I have had one computer negatively
affected by McAfee, and another computer negatively affected by Norton
Symantec.  Not irretrievably in either case, in part because I have more
experience with computers than the average citizen wants to have, but
quite irritating nonetheless.  I don't plan to throw my $$ at either
again.  Avast works just fine; I like it better than AVG since it
doesn't add AVG's irritating tag to outgoing Emails.
http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html

I have seen people argue vehemently for one or the other based on a very
small sample size.  I doubt that either AVG or Avast works notably
better than the other in the real world.  And my impression is that that
goes for Symantec & McAfee bloatware as well, certainly not enough
better to warrant the yearly $$.

Rich,

 

Stainless steel can be chromed - a friend of mine has chromed his Alfa Romeo
bumpers - they were stainless..

 

Slightly off topic:

I have recently rechromed a Volvo badge which is chrome base with enamel (or
similar) - sort of like the Healey front badge. The chrome was old, but the
black logo was ok. 

The badge came back from re-chroming and I was surprised to see all the
black enamel there and the chrome was perfect.

 

Thanks,

 

Tadek

  Now I'm in a real quandry. My plating shop insists on deriveting the

assemblies, stating that the stainless portions won't hold chrome and it
will

peel and flake off making quite a mess, and also stated that the chromed
areas

up against the stainless pieces will likely not set properly and will not be

able to be polished out properly.

 

  Meanwhile 7 people replied to my inquiry today, 5 of them stating that
left

together they had no problems with the plating.

 

  I have left them with the plater who will be drilling out all the rivets,

and Bob Yule states that it's difficult to rerivet but it can be done and he

has all the rivets in stock. So I'm going to go that route and see what

happens. Hey Bob, want a riveting job??
