As someone else said, and ive said in the past, just get a gmail  
account that you just use for this list. Works for me. Easily  
searchable. Free. Never have to delete anything.
I didn't see any spam from Richard Pratt.......

Message-ID: <AANLkTinyy1WtUZUuEnShxAc_eSuC-bSiOTxQMikxfeyF@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings Gentlemen,

I have just started the greatest project of my life, a 100/6 form 1959.
Though I have got some experiences with BMC cars, this would be my first Big
Healey, which I would like to do as good as I can.

Though I have bought the car last year i could only start it now, and I am
at the very start now, slowly removing the parts/documenting.

Clifford (Cliff) was first registered in the USA and apperently lived all in
its life in Texas. After a small front collosion in the ealy 80s, it
stopped, and aited ever since to get back on the road.

It looks like it had an engine transplant, as it has an early mkI 3000
(29D) in the engine bay.

I have got a few questions, if I can ask them...

Greetings:
Gergo Feher

I doubt if any spam filter would keep you from getting this type of email.
Since the email address was hijacked from a trusted member of this list, you
would have had to block the sender before his email address was, in fact,
hijacked and who among us would have known before hand that someone was
going to hijack his email address. Kind of like buying boat insurance
thinking that some time in the future you are going to buy a boat.

And, having a Mac might prevent hijacking your own email address but would
not prevent you from receiving an email from a hijacked source.

Drip Pan Fabrication - Thanks Jim Shope (Winter project for me and designed

Would like some input on shop car lifts that some of you may have. I like the
idea of the scissor type as you don't have a post in the way so you can work
on the exterior and interior, and don't have the ceiling height for a full
lift. Moss's lift about right but would rather have hydraulic instead of a
drill to operate it and looking for a place in the northeast to pick it up.

 I have the MaxJax two post lift which is made for home garages.  It is
hydraulic, lifts the car a maximum of 48" (enough to roll around on a wheeled
stool and reach easily), and will lift 6000 lbs.  It bolts to the garage floor
and the posts can be rolled away and stored if necessary.  I have mine
installed in the smaller bay of the garage, and, if I park close to one post,
there is still walking room to the house door.  So, I can leave it in place
all the time.

I got it on sale for $1000 with free shipping to Rochester, NY from
California.

Feel free to ask questions.  I could send some pics.

The ones on our (mostly) original BN2 were bent over.  Exposed wire was just long enough to be bent back and almost 
reach the base of the connector.

Great stuff John.

BTW I have been trying to contact the guy who is making the Trafalgar glass
bottles but he hasn't responded. Not sure why, he might just be busy as he
runs an aircraft maintenace firm in France. I know he thought the printing
on the lids was not up to standard as well as some of the bottles not being
100%. He'd found a glass maker to re do the bottles but not sure about the
tops. I'll keep trying.

regards

Derek

Gergo -

Almost all of the  Austin vehicles shared most, and in some cases, all of
the components of the Austin suspension.  Kingpins, A-arms, hubs, etc.  In
the day a common upgrade for the 100 was to bolt on the larger drum brakes
from an A90 Atlantic Saloon.

Suspension of the 100 & 3000 is virtually identical to the suspensions they
put in the A90 Atlantic, the A40, the A70, etc., etc., I would suspect the
A110  used the same suspension too.

I'm sure if John Harper is lurking, he can comment further.

Thats nice. I realy liked the suspension of the Cab. Though it was by far
not "sporty". I think after the WWII, it was a realy rationnal move to use
the same parts.
It is good to hear, as I have made nice contacts for the suspension
parts+have many items laying somewhere in my storage.

Time to bring out the Service Parts books to actually compare the component
parts. I think you will find that in most cases, though the design is
identical, the British were famous for making the parts slightly different,
enough to NOT be interchangeable. Shock arms and lower suspension A arms
that have different angles, etc. come immediately to mind. Even BN1 lower
arms are different from the BN2 and beyond.

What one has to bear in mind here was that for the introduction of the 
A90 Westminster almost all the original Austin designed parts were 
modified. Mostly they were beefed up. One has to remember that most 
parts were first introduced on the A40 and then used on the much heavier 
and more powerful A70 and A90 Atlantic. As items such as the suspension 
was destined for larger cars and medium size commercial vehicles there 
was a real need for strengthening.

So we have the BN1 with the Austin A40 etc. suspension and the BN2 on, 
with the BMC Westminster stronger items. This was the time that for 
example the bottom links were cranked up and UNF threads introduced. 
There was however the strange period when later BN1s had the Austin 
front suspension and the BMC rear axle.

The FX4 Taxi used the BMC units and just as an example the bottom front 
spring pan will fit the early BN1's but is made of thicker material. One 
example of strengthening. Another example was the rear hubs. Using these 
on early BN1s was pushing the strength almost to the limit. The 
replacement on the BN2 and onwards was much heavier and if my memory 
serves me correctly was last used on a large delivery van after A-H 
production has ceased.

Having said all this it is important not to get the two timeframes 
muddled up. Many parts look very similar until one gets them close 
together or tries to fit them.

I am not aware of anybody previously have done this and would like to 
know more. I am doing this but I have had to have made special front 
hubs to that the spokes clear the 2 1/4" drums and fit spacer rings 
behind the rear hub extensions.

The reason is that the car originally had 1 3/4" alfin drums that were 
corroded and looked unsafe. Perhaps unjustified but I did not feel that 
the new alfins available were safe either. In any case they were very 
expensive.

Everything now fits together and looks OK but I have to admit that I 
have yet to road test this set up because the rest of the car is not 
quite ready.

If you know anybody else who has carried out this conversion I would 
like to make contact.

Regards

Gosh, you're right, Don, I did pay $2000 for the MaxJax.  Must have been
wishful thinking.

Also, you might be interested in how I paid for the lift.  I applied to New
York State unclaimed funds, and, after some months, received two checks
amounting to just over $2000.  Hallelujah!  Here's the link for the New York
site (I imagine all states have the service)
http://www.osc.state.ny.us/ouf/index.htm

There is no cost for the service.

Last spring we purchased a hydraulic scissors lift from Total Tool in
Castleton-on-Hudson, NY (Albany area) after looking at the one on display at
the Rhinebeck, NY, car show.   This one was made by Quality Lifts
(Louisville, KY -- but TT website currently lists only one made by Mohawk --
maybe they've changed brands?)  Width between outer edges of lift framework
is 39-1/2", so any post-war British car can drive over it--but we did have
to make 3" thick ramps out of some 10' 2x8s left over from house
construction so our MGB-GT's exhaust system would clear the swing-out arms
when driving over the unit (it has no more ground clearance than a Healey).
The lift locks at heights from 2 to 5 feet, and so far we're pleased with
it, though we haven't used it a great deal (summer is outdoor, not workshop,
time here in northeastern PA).  The lift is heavy and does take some effort
to roll around on the floor (you'd need a trailer to pick it up
yourself--but Total Tool assembles and tests each lift and then delivers it
and gives operating instructions.)  Website: Total-Tool.com; our
sales rep. was Chris Holmes (800) 677-8685.

A friend is considering installing one of the 5 speed transmission conversions

Developments in the UK. The conversion requires some cutting & modifying of

I am trying to locate an original "restorable" front winged badge as fitted to

care if there are defects in the enameling or the chrome, as long as the
defects do not affect the "base" metal. It is my understanding that the
originals had smooth (not threaded) mounting studs. I would like to hear from

you have a winged badge that fits this description that you would be willing
to part with.

My BT7 engine is bored 40 over. I see on ahead4healeys' site that they have
.60 over piston and ring sets.
I have always feared what would happen if I ever had to rebuild my engine
again?
So the question is can I use .60 over pistons safely in my 29D street
engine, if need be?
With around 30K on the engine, I hope this will not be an issue during my
lifetime, but just in case......
Thanks

Ira, 
I think you worry too much.  My BT7 turned 50 in August. The engine has
never been out of the car.  I do not baby my Healey, I drive it spiritedly
when I can.  I consistently do well in autocrosses, and the car has been
driven all over the country in the 26 years I have owned it.  I use 20/50
Valvoline racing oil and it still doesn't smoke from having over 115,000
miles on it.  30,000 miles?  It is just getting broken in.  Just drive it
and have fun.

Neil Anderson

Ira, 

These engines can be rebuilt many times over the years if need be. Boring to
+.060" oversize is acceptable, then if need be, they can be sleeved back to
standard size and start all over again. Theoretically our grandchildren will
still be able to put the miles on these engines.

As usual, great comments and advice, concern born from hitting a rock with
oilpan when I had around 6000 miles on the engine, spinning a crank journal
and scoring a cylinder wall requiring me to bore out again......

Ira,
I have the Denis Welch 85mm cosworth pistons in my BJ8. That's approx  
65 thou oversize
Many healeys in Australia have Volvo pistons to get 3.3 litres ie well  
over 120 thou oversize.
I used to have a Sprite with Hillman imp pistons - again well over 120  
thou oversize.
BMC blocks have quite thick walls.
If your block is at 40 thou, don't worry, it has plenty of birthdays  
left...
;-)

Hi John,

Clifford - or Cliff comes from the fact that this car lived in Texas/Dallas.
My favorite character from the "Dallas" series I have seen many years ago
was Cliff Barnes, who looked like a loser, but at the end won everithing.

Ira,

in the end you (or more likely your kids) could use cylinder liners and start from standard size with the pistons. Just a thought in case you were worrying (sorry, wondering) about the time your grandchildren will inherit the car.

Eric


What me worry?
Just wondering, not really worrying. My kids want to inherit the car, so
just looking our for them, like a good dad :)

Gergo,

There was a black caulking type of substance applied to the top edge of the
under scuttle steel to attempt to effect an air tight seal when the shroud
was installed. If it's still the original stuff, a careful but steady
pressure applied to the left and right edges adjacent to the firewall will
eventually pop the shroud free. DO NOT pull from the front of the car or
you'll cause a very substantial fold in the metal long before it lets go.
I've never had to resort to heat, but the steady firm pressure (not beating
or hitting) will cause it to let go without damage. I usually use a block of
wood along the under edge of the shroud with firm upward levering pressure
off the top of the A post supporting gusset panel.

Kilmartin Automotive Sheetmetal makes the best of all these items, but you
need to check to see if their outer sills are the correct sweeping curve,
and not straight. Most people miss the fact that the bottom edge of the
doors and the outer rocker panels have a sweeping compound curve to them,
continuing from the front wing lower edge. Don't let anybody sell you
straight ones.
Certainly the ones marketed by AH Spares have the proper curve.

use a heat gun to 'peel up' from one side; be sure to either leave the tar or
use butyl electricans tape{ made for self vulcanizing} when re-installing;
 the 
purpose of all this stuff is to prevent galvanic corroding of the
aluminum 
(dissimiliar metals---acts as sacrificial anode).

Further to my earlier reply (see below) I apologize for not suggesting a
source. I purchase these items from Autofarm, here in Ontario. They should
have all in stock and ready to ship.

Kilmartin Automotive Sheetmetal makes the best of all these items, but you
need to check to see if their outer sills are the correct sweeping curve,
and not straight. Most people miss the fact that the bottom edge of the
doors and the outer rocker panels have a sweeping compound curve to them,
continuing from the front wing lower edge. Don't let anybody sell you
straight ones.
Certainly the ones marketed by AH Spares have the proper curve.

Yes, there are still some spam messages from hijacked email accounts
getting through now and then.  I've been working on the issue a bit,
but it is turning out to be a case of 'shipwright's disease' as we
know it, applied to computers.  If you don't know what I am talking
about, check out

http://www.team.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=32


Basically to tighten up security and improve a few things I'm planning
on updating the operating system and all the user level programs that
Team.Net uses.  Not a small undertaking, but well within my abilities.
Currently there is no budget for hardware upgrades, perhaps after the
spring fund drive.  Of course, if you haven't yet spent all your loot
on holiday gifts and such and wanted to donate [ link below ] I would
not complain ;-)

The process will take a fair bit of time over who knows how many late
nights at the keyboard.  With luck it will all be unnoticed by you
folks, transparent to the user, as they say.  But there is always a
chance of service not being available for some period of time,
hopefully no more than minutes at a time.  It could be something
simple, like a stupid typo in a config file, or it could be one of the
cats jumping the the keyboard as I go to fetch some more refrehments
and somehow managing to hit the CONFIRM REFORMAT OF ALL DISKS button.

 I remember what it was like when the ISP I was using for the DSL line
went belly up and Team.Net was off the air for 8 days - not a good
thing.  Actually, I wonder what the up vs. down time percentages might
be over the last 19 years and 7 months of Team.Net.  I won't count the
years before that when I ran it from the U of U.

Anyway, short story is if Team.Net disappears at times over the
next few weeks, don't panic, I'll be working on it.

Many years ago I sent for the Heritage certificate for my BT7 tricarb HBT7L
18718. This was back in 1983 when the BMIHT certificate was on a piece of
paper that cost me a whole $5.00, but that's another issue.
Anyway it listed the Healey Blue car as being dispatched complete with Black
hardtop, but there were no hardtop numbers listed. 
I found it interesting that they were clamping hardtops to these last
tricarbs and getting them shipped over here for distribution as these
hardtops were about to become orphans as the new BJ7 "Sports Convertibles"
were already in production by then.

Ira, I'm a bit skeptical here. I know there's a lot of meat in those Austin
blocks, but I would like some confirmation from someone, or two, down under
that they have actually bored out their 3000 engine 120 thousandths (.120
inches) without having any issues.

My BN7 Tri-Carb (#18014) came through as a Ivory White with Red interior and a
BLUE hardtop. Very patriotic!  :-)

The hardtop was listed that way on the factory build sheet (& Heritage
certificate) but was not on the car when the original owner bought the car
from the Chicago dealer.

I've put a black hardtop on it.

Here`s a question to the 100/6 experts.
Some 100/6 cars were fitted with engines prefix  26C, not 1C-H or 26D.
Does anyone know about them.  We have about 10 on the UK register and we
couldn`t find anything in the books about them.
Would be great to have an answer on this.

G'day Josef

In my list of Austin-Healeys in Australia there are 27 100/6 BN4s with
engine numbers starting with 26C out of a total of 158 cars (100/6).

In my car (BN3/1) the engine number starts with C26W which stands for
C-series, 2.6 litre and W-Wolseley.

It is a very early engine supplied by BMC to the Donald Healey Motor Company
to see how it would fit into the Austin-Healey. As we know that once fitted,
it provided inferior performance than the 2.6 litre 4-cylinder. That was
fixed by working the cylinder head and fitting triple dual-throat DU-6 SUs.

I have copies of certs for 700 cars in the BJ8 registry, but only one that
lists a hardtop.  It just says "Hard top" and gives no serial number.   The
cert also says in Other Information:  "This car was finished in a special
one-off colour scheme [my note:  Silver Grey, with trim that was Red, with
White Piping].  A hard top was not normally available for convertible
Models"

In the production records factory hardtops are only listed as one of the
extras without any serial number. As far as I remember there is just a mark
"HT" in the production book for the specific car.
So the registrars at BMIHT have no source to find any hardtop serial number.

It may be a bit cold in my garage, but I was unable to release the panel

Thanks fro the help. With a bit of heating and continous pressure I had

Parts are all gone. Sorry I wasn't responding here, I wasn't watching the
list closely.  But, I'm glad to report that they went to a happy Healey
owner from here on the list - and hopefully will help out.

Cheers,
Andy

Thanks fro the help. With a bit of heating and continous pressure I had

Hi,

I have proceeded with the dismantling of the Healey. I feel very lucky yet
as the body in my opinion is v-e-r-y good.
I have removed the cylinder head also just to get a hint of the engine.
Well, it is far from new, but still it is a std bore early 3000. The
cylinders are well worn though soo they will need 1st oversize pistons.

If intrestead take a look at austinhealey.fw.hu

Have a nice Sunday:

G'day Gergo

 

The Wolseley 25HP is a pre WW2 car. The C-series engine was designed and
built by Morris Engines (for BMC) as their mainstay engine during the early
1950s. It was fitted to the majority of the BMC marques including Austin,
Morris, Wolseley, Riley, Van Den Plas and Austin-Healey.

 

Depending on what marque an engine was destined for, dictated what prefix it
received. The engine in my car was taken from the engine production line
during a run of engines for Wolseleys, taken to the DHMC for their
experimental work and fitted to my car.

Hi,

 

Is this 2.6 "Wolseley" engine the same as the one fitted to the Wolseley
25HPs?

 

Gergo

2010/12/4 Patrick and Caroline Quinn <p_cquinn at tpg.com.au>

G'day Josef

In my list of Austin-Healeys in Australia there are 27 100/6 BN4s with
engine numbers starting with 26C out of a total of 158 cars (100/6).

In my car (BN3/1) the engine number starts with C26W which stands for
C-series, 2.6 litre and W-Wolseley.

It is a very early engine supplied by BMC to the Donald Healey Motor Company
to see how it would fit into the Austin-Healey. As we know that once fitted,
it provided inferior performance than the 2.6 litre 4-cylinder. That was
fixed by working the cylinder head and fitting triple dual-throat DU-6 SUs.

Here`s a question to the 100/6 experts.
Some 100/6 cars were fitted with engines prefix  26C, not 1C-H or 26D.
Does anyone know about them.  We have about 10 on the UK register and we
couldn`t find anything in the books about them.
Would be great to have an answer on this.

Gergo,

Overall, it looks quite sound and should make a great base for your
restoration.  It's worlds away from some of the rot boxes that people have
started with as the supply of project cars has dwindled.  Best of luck with
your restoration.

Happy Healeydays,

Rick

Good luck Ira,

I've been looking for those for a long time, both the wide ones for the
later 6 cylinder cars, and the narrower rounded ones for the Hundred. The
repros are really a hit and miss proposition. Some come through pretty good,
with the correct little stainless steel rivet at 12 o'clock, and others
without the rivet. Also repro chrome finish quality can vary from okay to
totally unacceptable. N.O.S. is certainly the answer if you can find them.

We got a phone call a while back.  The caller said it had to do with the 
fact that we shopped at KMart or Walmart, I forget which.  He knew our name 
and address.  He wanted to deliver a significant amount of money to us at 
9:00 o'clock the next morning.  He said that he would be accompanied by nine 
FBI agents to confirm his legitimacy.  I told him to bring cash, not a 
check, and that I would have our local police here, also.  Darn!  I'm still 
waiting for him to show up.  Christmas is just around the corner and we 
could use the money.    ;-)  Ho Ho Ho!

As a data point, I located a NOS set about 6 years ago in Lucas boxes  
that did not have the rivet.  I know the source I bought these from  
and am certain that repros were not slipped in their place.  While I  
agree that the rivet would be more correct, it was also not always  
present in the Lucas spares.

Ira,
Its better to look for two similar ones, as also original rims differ. When
they are from lets say an early 100/6 they are really much different in shape
to BJ8 ones. You see it, when you put two together.

Good luck Ira,

I've been looking for those for a long time, both the wide ones for the later
6 cylinder cars, and the narrower rounded ones for the Hundred. The repros are
really a hit and miss proposition. Some come through pretty good, with the
correct little stainless steel rivet at 12 o'clock, and others without the
rivet. Also repro chrome finish quality can vary from okay to totally
unacceptable. N.O.S. is certainly the answer if you can find them.

Hello,

 

Two years ago I bought a BN6 and I would like to know something about the
history of the Healey in USA. 

The Healey was exported to San Francisco in July 1958 and came back in the
UK in the late months of 1993.

Following the data:

Car/chassis number                           BN6-L/1570

Engine number                                  26D-RU-H/64687

Body number                                     1089

Specification                                      LHD, North American
Export

Color                                                  Healey Blue

Date build                                           17-25 June 1958

Date despatched                               16 July 1958

Destination                                         San Francisco, USA

Other numbers                                  Key Number: FP.630

 

Maybe someone can give me some information. Thank you very much in advance.

 

Kind regards

 

Dirk

Hallo Dirk!
Thank you for the 100/Six inquiry.  I do the Registry for both the BN4 & 
BN6.  I have the records for all the US and have received files from England, 
Germany, Netherlands, etc.
I do not have your car in my files.  The closest is BN6 1570 in New 
Hampshire and then BN6 1603 in Texas.  With this information from you, I will add 
you and the car into the Registry.  Information is kept confidential.  
 
 
An explanation of the VIN is: A is for the smaller size engines and all 
Sprites start with an A.  B is for the big Healeys.  The next letter N is 
describing it as a Roadster.  They used a J for Convertibles, however something 
got screwed up along the way and there were cars with BT.  The 4 indicates it 
was the Fourth design in production.  The L is for Left hand drive as were 
90% of the cars manufactured.  The remaining number is a serial number and 
doesn't have much logic.  There built MGA's along with the BN4's so I'm sure 
number were interchanged.
A good site for information on the cars is:
 
_http://www.healeysix.net/_ (http://www.healeysix.net/)    (A French 
Owner's Site)
 
 


Here is another good site for information on the 100/Six.

    It appears that Lucas used this same part number for quite a long time. 
We had some NOS rims in sealed boxes with this part number and although they 
were the correct shape, they had no rivet.  I did hear that very late BJ8's 
did not have the rivet, but have not been able to confirm that, one way or 
the other.  We sold a pair to an owner on the west coast who was restoring a 
BJ8 and his old rims had no rivet.  No one could be sure that these were 
original to the car or replacements though.

Thanks to all that gave input to my question- "are factory hardtop serial
numbers recorded on the Hert. Cert."
>From what I gathered if they were fitted at the factory it listed "HT" for
hardtop and the color of the hardtop.  Some were also fitted by dealerships
and maybe some by owners?
I received a few e-mails asking me where the serial number is stamped.
Thought I would share with the group.  The alum trim is stamped in the
passenger door window area/ top.  So sit in the passenger seat and look up.
It maybe partially covered by the door seal.
My one hardtop is stamped 4/259144 (four seater/ Feb., 1959, serial number
144).  My other is stamped 0633743 - this one is confusing??
I sent my 1959 hardtop info to Rudy Streng for the BN4 registry.
Maybe a factory hardtop registry is in order?  Wonder how many were made/
are?

Ok,  you got me thinking about the BT7 hardtop I have sitting in the 
basement and went to look at the serial numbers and they don't match what 
you suggested the numbers to be.  My serial number is C/0858140.

  I may also be ready to sell it if someone somewhat local is interested. 
It needs restoration, but is complete including the rear window.  There is 
no headliner, but all the brackets and brightware is attached, and it does 
need a sanding and a repaint, but has no cracking from what I see and would 
be a great starting point.  I can send pictures if you're interested.

It would seem that I have hit upon the Holy Grail part for my car.  I easily
found one complete nos headlights assembly. I now know how lucky I was....
There has to be a nos rim out there somewhere. It might take a knights

It would seem that I have hit upon the Holy Grail part for my car.  I easily
found one complete nos headlights assembly. I now know how lucky I was....
There has to be a nos rim out there somewhere. It might take a knights

Josef,

There are actually 2 part numbers for the 6 cylinder cars which  
explains your findings.  Up until late 59, the part number was 556234,  
and the 60- was 54520673.  Note the earlier number also fit the Austin  
A95's.

Hello Ira;  According to my 1965 & 1966 BMC Fast Moving Parts List and its

Message-ID: <000a01cb94f5$f53a7b20$dfaf7160$@com>

To all,

 

I am selling my 1960 Austin Healey Speedwell Sprite. I purchased this car
from Tom Colby out at Speedwell Engineering about 10 years ago. This is a
California car, never wrecked and never rusted. It was vintage raced out on
the West Coast. 

 

The car has a Speedwell Monza bonnet with alloy shrouding to the radiator.
It has an extremely well crafted roll bar, with side intrusion bars, but
still can fit a soft or hard top to the car. It is, for the most part,
street legal, although wipers will need to be fitted to the car. It has a
Fuel Safe cell built into a stock Sprite tank in the original location. It
has a central fire extinguisher system installed. The car sits on Panasport
wheels. It needs new tires, and they are included with the sale. It has a
Mota Lita steering wheel. A soft top and side curtains are included. A very
solid, restorable Bugeye bonnet is included with the car. A factory hard top
is also offered for an additional cost. 

 

Current motor is a fresh 948, with flat top piston, a 295 casting head, and
a BMC factory "649" cam, with a cast header, with the exhaust tucked up in
the pan, exiting through a Super Trap muffler.

 

The car is priced to sell. See

My engine is bored 160 over (to a 3.2ltr).....  mind you, i had the engine sonic tested and some of the bores are offset.

My point being that 60 over if carefully done is no problem.

I seem to recall that BMC, as everything was going tits up in the
early 80s, was selling parts as "OEM" through the dealers but in fact
were simply substituting common parts that would fit any car, e.g. MGB
headlamp rims being sold for Healeys.  This would explain the missing
rivet.  Technically they were OEM, and they fit, they just weren't
quite the correct part.

On the original headlamps, the rivet holds a metal clip inside the headlamp 
ring which secures the top of the ring to the fender and shroud. The ring 
is attached to the body by clipping the ring to the top, then swinging the 
bottom down and in place and securing it with a large screw up through the 
bottom of the ring. The fakes rely just on the edge of the headlamp ring rim to 
hold it in place. Obviously, when they were doing replacements, someone 
figured out that you could delete two components and the labor necessary to 
secure them in place by simply faking the rivet. I'd be prepared to believe 
that this was actually done by BMC in the later stages of supplying replacement 
parts, rather than some much later copycat manufacturer duplicating an 
original part. That's why it doesn't surprise me that someone found an NOS part 
in an original box with the dimple. Just because it's NOS doesn't mean it's 
OEM (original equipment manufacturer) spec.

If the car has already been painted then you have a difficult task.
Adjustments/ test fits should be made during bodywork.  The seal will probably
just make the miss fit even worse.  If it isn't too bad then you might just
have to live with it.  Most boot lids on Healeys have a fit that is much less
then perfect.  Shifting the holes a bit can give you some side to side fit.
Being high in the middle sounds like bodywork.

Gary,
I am surprised that you as an editor are using assumptions to make  
your case, but since I am not, I think I will.  I should start off by  
saying that I am a "have-not" and deeply suffer from the rivet envy  
because of the emphases placed on it from the "haves".  While mine is  
without, it is still a  NOS high quality chrome OEM part that is a  
correct fit and as it has the same part number as the lucas  
replacement parts list for a 60-61 year model, which also matches the  
62-67 part number on 2 different Lucas catalogues that I have in my  
possession.  So, if they got it wrong, they got it wrong on at least 2  
accounts.

With that said, I have since learned that the convertibles may have  
been supplied with non riveted rims, which would demand a different  
part number.  It makes sense that the replacement catalogues would  
consider issuing an "updated" part if it fits an earlier model.  But  
why not make this the same for the 100/6 and the early 3000s that have  
a different part number?  Maybe there is something on these cars that  
will not fit with the newer rims.  In researching the part numbers for  
the other components tied to the rim, I have found the following:

The 1960- do not have a dust excluder
The light retaining plate (which I believe is where the rim is  
affixed) is the same for the 100s and 100/6  and pre 60 3000s, but  
different for the 60-61 cars and yet different again for the 62- cars.

It is the latter finding that substantiates why the pre-60 cars may  
need a different rim to fit "properly", hence the different numbers.   
Or maybe they fit properly with all other parts changed since the  
shrouds were interchangeable.

I should also add that from the "Mechanical Service Parts  
List"  (series BJ7 and BJ8) there are 6 pages front and back dedicated  
to headlamp assemblies.  And for the North American models, BMC lists  
a different part number for the rims  (57H 5018) as the others (37H  
5530).  Since I do not have a parts list for the BN7 and BT7 series, I  
would inquire for someone to fill in this blank.

So, on behalf of the other "have-nots", I am making the following  
appeal for concourse revisions:
When judging for the rivet, the pre 60 cars should have one, yet the  
60-67 cars should be given a bye to either "have" or "have-not" unless  
someone can prove differently as there was most obviously a transition  
point that no-one has yet to define.  And if that occurs, you still  
have to give credence to the fact that pulling boxes off the shelf  
could have gone in any assortment until all riveted stock was depleted.

Interesting comments. People make assumptions all the time to fill in the
gaps when recorded history is insufficient to provide exact answers. The only
harm is when people overlay known fact with assumptions that suit their
interpretation of history -- as seems to be the case in politics these days --
What we try to do with the concours standards is to make assumptions and
label them as such, if we're aware that there is an issue, until we have more
facts.

But, you make an interesting point regarding possibilities for changes in
the headlamp rim. If other changes were being made that might have permitted
the supplier to make a cost-saving change in the headlight rim during
production, then dimpled headlight rims should be found on all of the last run
of
convertibles. All of them. So, the question to people who own phase II Mark
IIIs is: do you have dimples or real rivets with snap brackets on the back?

If we could establish that the all of the last convertibles produced had
the dimples rather than the rivets, then our question would shift to when the
change point occurred, and we could modify the standards to indicate that
such a change appears to have taken place, but we don't know when.

Is there anyone on this list with a late unrestored convertible -- say,
built in 1966 -- that has riveted headlamp rims?
Thanks

Adjustments/ test fits should be made during bodywork. The seal will
probably just make the miss fit even worse. If it isn't too bad then you
might just have to live with it. Most boot lids on Healeys have a fit that
is much less then perfect. Shifting the holes a bit can give you some side
to side fit. Being high in the middle sounds like bodywork.

reminds me of my car=
FYI: when you get the fit perfect and before paint,
drill 2 small holes in each 
hinge and lid support to INDEX the location of
the 2 tightened-bolts on each 
side. Use pins or needles,etc in small (I meant
'small') holes whenever you 
reassemble after paint. Saves lots of T&E and lid
is again in perfect location 
w/o paint scrapes. Can fill holes with matching
Crayolas if concourse.

Hi Gary and all:

I have a "have" '66 with rivet-type headlight rims.

BUT . . . but .  .  . the car was redone by Forintune in the early 80's.

So, are the headlight rims original to the car.  Maybe.  Maybe not.

Unfortunately there are no numbers on the 4 sets of rims I have. A  
pair with the rivets and spring clips, a pair with the rivets and no  
spring clips, a pair that someone re-chromed and buffed the rivets off  
and a pair with dimples.
Looks like someone needs to find a good replica of the rivets so they  
can be added after chroming.  They look like brass that has been  
chromed.  It would be a snap to add them to the  dimpled rings.

Relax Chris,
 I only said I was "skeptical" and asked about "having any issues" with boring
out to 120 thou.  I'm not challenging your statements so don't get your
knickers in a twist.  I Just wanted some additional information. In the good
ole USA, we - I mean "SCCA" (Sports Car Club of America)  - only allow 30 thou
max. overbore. So I don't have a lot of personal experience with overboring
engines in the 120 to 200 thou zone.
As for the Aussies whooping the American's asses a few years back, I would
like to sum up my impression of that series with a statement I made to Phil
Coombs on the eve of the very first event at Road America, in 2005, after I
had surveyed the Australian Healeys in the paddock.   " I think I have come to
a gun fight with only a knife."
In spite of that statement, I still whooped a lot of Aussie ass!!!! Do you??

My BJ8 (36666) was built 6 June 1966 and has the riveted headlamp rims.
They were on the car when I bought it in 1984, and since the car has not
suffered any accidents, I have no reason to believe they are not original.
They appear original to me.
 
The BMC parts manual for BJ7 and BJ8 specifies Rim Assembly P/N 57H 5018 for
all North American cars, while all other cars got P/N 37H 5530.   There is
no definition of what makes one part number different from the other.  It
seems sort of odd that a supplier would delete the riveted attachment to
save production costs, then add the dimple which would certainly add cost
for no benefit.
 
These kinds of configuration questions remind me of the issue with the
dash-mounted rear view mirror.  According to the parts manual, BJ7s and
Phase 1 BJ8s got the all-stainless/chrome rectangular mirror, while all
Phase 2 BJ8s got the more oval-shaped mirror with the black plastic back.
My car has always had the earlier style mirror (photos from 1969 show it
installed as early as that), and in the BJ8 registry I have a record of 160
Phase 2 BJ8s with the earlier mirror.  I only record the dash mirror type
when I see it personally on a car or in photos.  Some of those might be
replacements, but I think it very unlikely that all of them are.  Anyway, it
seems more probable to me that a replacement would be the same type as the
one that was there before if both are available.  On the other hand, I bet
there have been a lot of original early mirrors on Phase 2 BJ8s replaced
with the later style because the parts manual said the originals were
"incorrect".

.. you make an interesting point regarding possibilities for changes in
the headlamp rim. If other changes were being made that might have permitted
the supplier to make a cost-saving change in the headlight rim during
production, then dimpled headlight rims should be found on all of the last
run
of
convertibles. All of them. So, the question to people who own phase II Mark
IIIs is: do you have dimples or real rivets with snap brackets on the back?

If we could establish that the all of the last convertibles produced had
the dimples rather than the rivets, then our question would shift to when
the

such a change appears to have taken place, but we don't know when.

Is there anyone on this list with a late unrestored convertible -- say,
built in 1966 -- that has riveted headlamp rims?

My '62 tri-carb (fairly late top-shift) has it's original headlight rings 
with rivets - no clips in evidence, just the rivets in the holes.

My very late BJ8 is the same - rivets, no clips.  I believe that both rings 
are original to the car, but can't swear to it.  When it was taken apart for 
restoration, there was no evidence anywhere on the front end of accident 
damage, hence the assumption.  The restoration is (finally!) almost 
complete - we rechromed and re-installed the rings.

Any takers for a headlamp ring with SS rivet and clip? It is usable, 
chrome not perfect, a bit dull but no rust, a few small scratches, small 
dent near the bottom, out of sight when fitted, very small dent at 3 
o'clock which can easily be pressed out with some care.
I think it was taken from an AH, but I am not absolutely sure.

Free but for the shipping.
Next week it will be binned.

Its sounds stupid, but have you put the rh hinge to lh side and lh hinge to rh

Not sure if that would work anyway.

Adjustments/ test fits should be made during bodywork. The seal will probably
just make the miss fit even worse. If it isn't too bad then you might just
have to live with it. Most boot lids on Healeys have a fit that is much less
then perfect. Shifting the holes a bit can give you some side to side fit.
Being high in the middle sounds like bodywork.

?I have an original '67 BJ8 built in late September of 1966 approx. 400 from 
the end.  I am the third owner and it only has 30,000 miles and has never 
been messed with other than one repaint.  It HAS rivets.  Just weighing in 
on this subject.

Interesting comments. People make assumptions all the time to fill in the
gaps when recorded history is insufficient to provide exact answers. The 
only
harm is when people overlay known fact with assumptions that suit their
interpretation of history -- as seems to be the case in politics these 
days --
What we try to do with the concours standards is to make assumptions and
label them as such, if we're aware that there is an issue, until we have 
more
facts.

But, you make an interesting point regarding possibilities for changes in
the headlamp rim. If other changes were being made that might have permitted
the supplier to make a cost-saving change in the headlight rim during
production, then dimpled headlight rims should be found on all of the last 
run

convertibles. All of them. So, the question to people who own phase II Mark

If we could establish that the all of the last convertibles produced had

Message-ID: <4CFF25D4.5050605@iinet.net.au>

Hi listers

I have a query re my BN1 first gear and synchro, the synchro cone and 
coupling adaptor were loose on the splines which allowed the units to 
slide about 6-8 mm away from the gear. We removed the worn cone and plan 
on replacing it with a new cone using the recommended method as per the 
manual.  The coupling adaptor looks to be in perfect condition as does 
the first motion shaft and gear.  When I press the coupling adaptor onto 
the spline in preparation to fit the cone, it has the same 6-8 mm 
movement when the shoulder is pressed against the gear (ie it is not a 
press fit right up to the gear).  My question is will the shrink fit of 
the new cone be sufficient to hold the coupler tight against the gear or 
should we either get a new coupler or use some form of adhesive or 
silver solder to secure?

thanks

Ira:

Have you inadvertently interchanged the right and left boot lid hinges? - 
they are sloped slightly differently.  That might be contributing to the 
mis-fit problem.  There should be enough play in the hinge mounting holes to 
make slight side to side and fore and aft adjustments to the lid in the 
opening.  I usually do this and the latch adjustment after the seal and the 
three buffers are fitted.

reminds me of my car=
FYI: when you get the fit perfect and before paint,
drill 2 small holes in each 
hinge and lid support to INDEX the location of
the 2 tightened-bolts on each 
side. Use pins or needles,etc in small (I meant
'small') holes whenever you 
reassemble after paint. Saves lots of T&E and lid
is again in perfect location 
w/o paint scrapes. Can fill holes with matching
Crayolas if concourse.

Gary

My unrestored 66 only had one headlight rim, just dug it out of the garage and
and it just has the real rivet (no dimple) with no bracket, be it a slightly
wider but less pronounced domed rivet than the reproductions I have put on it.
The quality of the original? including rivet seems far superior, I cant see
any makers / or part numbers on it.

Gary:  HBJ8L39031, Built 10-17 Nov 1966, dispatched 16 Mar 1967.  Rivets. 
JUST rivets. No clips at top.  The rim hangs on the bucket at the top with a 
single screw securing the bottom.  Now that you made me look, I find that I 
do not have, and do not recall ever having, the Seal, rim to bucket (Moss 
280-120), in there. Looks like this research is going to end up costing me 
money!   ;-(

As I said Richard, my personal experience is:

1. A 1100cc sprite engine bored to take 68mm Hillman Imp pistons (~220
thou overbore).
That engine gave over 10 years of reliable service until a circlip broke,
and scored the bore. I still have that engine in storage.
I also had a 948 blocked bored to the same size.

2. My old 100/4 had Holden based pistons. That made it a ~3 litre
100/4 (~200 thou overbore).
That car/ engine is now owned by another active member on this list,
who has sleeved the block back to standard.

3. As I said, my BJ8 is 65 thou over.

Here are some Australians who run 3.3 litre 3000 engines, (~3.5 in
bore, which is ~ 220 thou oversize) - usually with Volvo based
pistons:

Cameron Sell; John Wakeling
http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?22/03/1998.ARDC.E13

Neil Dunn (3.2 litre); Eric Rudd; Colin Rule; You'll also notice the 3
litre 100/4 of Peter Ford
http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?25/07/1999.ORAN.R4

Road going 3.3 litre 3000's - to many to list.....

Typically, these kind of overbores require offsetting bores; and
decking blocks; and getting compression heights right. And not every
block can take that sort of oversize 50 years later, due to
corrossion/ casting irregularities.

However - you doubted it was possible. It clearly is....

Overbore at your own risk - but 60 thou is more than pretty safe.....

My BJ8 # 41193, with a March 28-29,1967 date of build has the rivets in the 
headlight rims, and to add fuel to the fire the rivets were/are chrome 
plated. I am the second owner of the car which has been well maintained and 
never been restored.

Olin,

Your credentials as an engineer explain everything.  I am well aware of the
typical engineer's lack of spelling skills ;-)

Regarding the rivet and those wishing to restore their cars with this
feature in place.. a few details are in order.

As Gary has explained, the rivet is there to hold the clip in place on the
back side of the chrome ring.  Original rings with the rivet  if you have
yours, can be properly restored but it requires some work.

First of all the rivet is nickel plated copper and not chrome, which is why
on many original cars, after years of polishing the nickel wears off to the
underlying copper.  Also, the clip on the back side is zinc plated steel, so
just re-plating the ring in chrome ring with the rivet and clip in place is
not correct.

Others have had good success with drilling out the rivet, then chrome
plating the ring and zinc plating the clip then re-attaching the clip with a
new nickel plated rivet.  A bit of work but this is Concours after all, and
that's how they were produced by Lucas.  And, in anticipation of the obvious
question...yes I will check on where I found the proper rivets.

I too have had no luck in 20+ years finding NOS chrome rings for my 100.

Regarding the use of NOS parts... one common item I have seen over the years
is the use of the NOS grill for the 100.  This grill, even though it's a
factory replacement in NOT the same as the original due to the obvious flat
top on the chrome surround and will receive a deduction in Concours judging
if used.  So one more example where the factory replacement is different
than what was normally installed at the factory.

Cheers,

As the AH, like many other British cars of the time, is a collection of 
bits and pieces taken from and used on many other UK cars it is certain 
that the head lamp ring was used on many other cars. You cannot go by 
the part number as one and the same part can have many different part 
numbers.
So have a look at the rims of Triumph, Austin, Morris, Mini, MG and many 
other UK cars.

Old parts were used. Then new parts used or old parts found in a corner so
were used out of sequence.3000s with 100-6 grill badge or horn bottom.  Non
rivet find may have been installed during , before or after rivet rings were
used.
I guess I will restore a good used ring with rivet.  I will look to see if
rivet holds clip on nos bucket assembly I bought.

Hi,

To help my restoration, I wanted to order a BMIHT certificate, but
unfortunatly the record of my car was lost.
Now I am looking for cars close to mine to figure out my specification.

My vin no. is BN4L 052381. The car was built late 57 (december is my bet) or
early 58, first registered 58 apr.

Ira, did you happen to check with Moss for your rims?  I swear that I 
purchased their rims and they
sent me their Gold Level rims that had the clip and rivet and there on my 
car right now.

Sometimes things are only as hard as you make them to be.

Not only UK cars, but cars that used Lucas headlights, like a Volvo 1800 
which does have the same headlight rim as some big Healeys.  The ones on 
my 1800E are the same as those on my '62 tricarb.

I have never seen the clip that the rivet holds being used to hold the rim
on an Healey. That goes for the early more rounded off and narrower rims of
the Hundreds, through the wider, flatter rim of the 3000's.
The top edge of the chrome rim fits behind a raised lip of the bucket edge
at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The rim is held there by the single screw
coming u from the bottom into a captive clip on the bucket at about 5
o'clock. I believe the rivets I've seen are usually stainless steel, so have
a very slight yellow look compared to the blueish chrome of the rim.

Gergo, 

Just a long shot, but maybe you should try BMIHT again, only quote your
number as BN4L O 52381. The O in the middle is a separate letter, not a
number and stands for "overdrive". If some clerk is typing into a computer,
one digit off and they'll never see it.
You could also quote them the Batch and Body number tag. They may find it
that way.

Charlie, 

The wood pieces are all available and would be covered with very thin pebbly
grained ivory coloured vinyl. I have no dimensions but here are some
pictures that may help. I got the thin vinyl from Heritage Upholstery and

Thanks very much, Pete.  As BJ8 Model Registrar with an interest in
identifying ALL BJ8s that exist, I appreciate my Healey friends keeping
their eyes open and letting me know when one surfaces.
 
I have this car in the registry, but only because it was an original Black
car (long story).  No other details, but the Hemmings ad will provide many
of those.  It helps a lot when the ads identify the VIN of the car.
 
Happy Healeydays!

I have a (late) MkII BT7. With rivets.
Yes, rivets slightly yellowed in comparison to chrome of rims. 
No, the clips held on by the rivets do hold the rims to my Healey. (But, who
knows if my Lucases are the originals but they'd appear to be. Hate to
contradict a Wise One).
My rims were showing their age. I couldn't find a decent pair of
replacements. (Over some years of on/off rather desultory looking). Either
too short or marginally too big so needed to be screwed up too tight or just
plain rubbish. Did see some riveted ones at some stage, but NBG.
So the tatty old things kept going back onto the car. (Too badly dented for
repair and rechrome).
Then I found a pair that were right shape but rivetless. Took clips out of
originals, doctored new rims, put old rivets and clips into new rims. Looks
fine. Hopefully a good working compromise. Need to be fairly delicate in

I have never seen the clip that the rivet holds being used to hold the rim
on an Healey. That goes for the early more rounded off and narrower rims of
the Hundreds, through the wider, flatter rim of the 3000's.
The top edge of the chrome rim fits behind a raised lip of the bucket edge
at 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock. The rim is held there by the single screw
coming u from the bottom into a captive clip on the bucket at about 5
o'clock. I believe the rivets I've seen are usually stainless steel, so have
a very slight yellow look compared to the blueish chrome of the rim.

Old parts were used. Then new parts used or old parts found in a corner so
were used out of sequence.3000s with 100-6 grill badge or horn bottom.  Non
rivet find may have been installed during , before or after rivet rings were
used.
I guess I will restore a good used ring with rivet.  I will look to see if
rivet holds clip on nos bucket assembly I bought.

Thanks very much, Pete.  As BJ8 Model Registrar with an interest in
identifying ALL BJ8s that exist, I appreciate my Healey friends keeping
their eyes open and letting me know when one surfaces.

I have this car in the registry, but only because it was an original Black
car (long story).  No other details, but the Hemmings ad will provide many
of those.  It helps a lot when the ads identify the VIN of the car.

Happy Healeydays!

Subject: [Healeys] NOS...correct or rare
Message-ID: <5F8465ED817B4CF7AD57836625E572E1@CATMAN>

The following from Curt/Nancy Arndt brings up the interesting conundrum
regarding what is or is not "correct"

"Regarding the use of NOS parts... one common item I have seen over the years
is the use of the NOS grill for the 100.  This grill, even though it's a
factory replacement in NOT the same as the original due to the obvious flat
top on the chrome surround and will receive a deduction in Concours judging if
used.  So one more example where the factory replacement is different than
what was normally installed at the factory."

As those with interest in the history of the original design of our beloved
Healey 100's know, the original peaked grill was a non starter appearing only
on the Earls Court car. The removal of said peak required a redesign of the
grill surrond. It seems to of created  a flat topped design that was quickly
redone to the familar curve. It seems that in later years the factory sent the
earlier flat top grills as replacement NOS grills, probably when the others
were no longer in stock, or on back order. So the question is, are these
grills rare early examples of the history of our cars or something to distain
as "incorrect"?

The battery doesn't know if the car is positive or negative ground.  The 
charging hookup is always the same.  Red on positive and black on negative.

All batteies are charged the same way.  The battery itself determines where
the respective charge leads attach. Plus to plus, Neg to Neg.  The battery
does not know how it is being used.

Neither. 

First note there are no 'positive ground' batteries, only positive ground cars (e.g. Austin-Healeys). The 'grounding' of the car is determined by which battery terminal is connected to the chassis (aka 'common'). 

If the battery is on the bench, charge like you would any battery: positive (usually red or green) lead from the charger to the positive terminal of the battery, negative (usually black) terminal to the negative terminal of the battery. The battery terminals should be marked '+' and '-,' and the positive terminal is usually larger in diameter than the negative. 

If the battery is in the (positive ground) car, connect the negative lead of the charger to the negative terminal of the battery, and the positive lead of the charger to (preferably) bare metal on the chassis (make sure the cutoff switch is on). You can connect the positive lead from the charger to the positive terminal, but it's generally considered safer to connect to the chassis (in case there's lingering H2 gas and a spark is created making the connection--rare, but it happens).

Hi Mell,

Thanks for the info!
The car is LHD, and looks original (no signs of a conversion, soo not likely
that it was a CKO kit assembled in South Africa.

52500 ooks pretty close. Is there any chance for me to know the
specification of the engine of this car? I would like to know what kind of
cylinderhead it had.

When charging a battery with a battery charger you will connect the  
RED to the Positive + side and the BLACK to the Negative - side of  
the battery

The polarity to the car will not matter when hooking up a seperate

I think you are correct --- but don't try to use the car body for the ground---use the battery neg post.

Message-ID: <4D01462A.2010300@htcnet.org>

Just to add to this thread more detail. My 64 BJ8 (original owner) had

one rim with the clip and one without.
Probably one was replaced back in 64, by the dealer, as  a young
Frenchman had backed into it outside our house in Paris.  They are
otherwise identical, except on the one without the clip, the rivet is of
poorer quality, the nickle plaiting has worn off to the brass, while the
other one is fine.  If anyone wants them (for the pattern of the
clip):-) , free for the shipping.  They are not good for re chroming,
without work.

Hi Gergo

Just looking at a combination of Clausager's book and the 100-Six Parts List:

The late 100-Six engine with the six-port manifold and HD-6 carbs was fitted
to ALL cars from Chassis/ Engine No. 52602 on, in November 1957.   The
switchover from the old-type gallery head motor was fuzzy, the new motor
having begun being fitted at 48863 on, but 312 old- type motors, individually
listed in the Parts List, continued to be fitted intermittently into the next
3,740 cars until 52601.

Your C/E number , 052381, is NOT in this list of intermittently-fitted
old-type motors.  The last few integral gallery-head motors in the list are:
51742, 51743, 51744, 51755, 51746, 52550 and 52601.    So you should have the
new six-port head motor.

Some other cue points for roughly dating your car (52381) can be:

Sept. 1957 (47703)- sidescreens changed from front-opening (plexi angles
forward), to rear-opening type (plexi angles backwards like most)
                 (48387) -locking door handle dropped for late non-locking
type
Oct. 1957   (48863) -begin motor change-over to new type
                 (48863) - brake master/ clutch cyls. now have a single remote
reservoir, not separate integral type
                 (50759) - accelerator controls now snap-lock type, not
spring-loaded barrel type as on 100's
                 -----------
Nov.1957    (52602) - new six-port motor and remote reservoir now in all cars
Dec. 1957-  (52704) -strengthening hoop introduced in bulkhead

Best regards
Peter

I have a buddy who is trying to restore a barn find 100-4 and would

Check with British Miles in Morrisville, PA.  He has a bunch of big 
Healey seats with original covers on them.  Some of them may be 100s.  I 
know he has some 3000 ones.  If they are not torn, but still need some 
work or are the wrong color, check out Color Plus 
http://colorplus.com/.  Be sure to read their "About Leather" tutorial 
which describes the whole process.  Perhaps even the ratty bottoms can 
be saved with restitching and restoring.

I guess we all make errors and ask questions or read answers that seem odd
from others.  It would be my personal hope that we don't scare someone away
from asking a question or answering a question because they are unsure of
the reaction.  There are no bad questions and am grateful for anyone's
attempt to answer my questions right or wrong.

Subject: [Healeys] Little Rivets
Message-ID: <957442.58883.qm@web51408.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Little Healeys also have the rivet issue.  Bugeyes came with riveted headlight
rims, but the repros are rivetless.  When I restored my Bugeye, I sent out all
the original chrome pieces to a local shop for replating, including the
riveted headlight rims.  It was a high end shop that did the plating for a
number of Ralph Lauren's cars.  When my parts were returned, I quickly
realized the headlight rims were a little different.  Not only were they quite
a bit larger than the Bugeye's,  they were imprinted with the word "Carello". 
A few days later, I got a call from a Cape Cod restoration shop (which
coincedentally had done the restoration of Roger Menadue's LeMans
Nash-Healey)  inquiring whether our plating orders might have been mixed up. 
Seems they had my Bugeye rims and I had the rims from a very rare Maserati (1
of 7)    We did an even swap, but I think I should have held them ransom.

BTW,  happy to note my Nasty Boy BJ7 still sports its original rims with
rivets.

I have many MGA spares from years gone by but the profile of the rims are 
different. Hard to explain
but if you had them side by side you would see the difference.

To all my Healey friends, please forgive me---but--this Dryman is a true prick.  I never said that at all.  He has decided to send me and the world one of his nasty undiplomatic posts.  Actually it was he who confused the message and comments I was referring to and shot from the hip without checking.

Here is the message I was referring to.

" Peter Ryner <pryner at verizon.net> wrote: 

=============
The battery doesn't know if the car is positive or negative ground.  The 
charging hookup is always the same.  Red on positive and black on negative."

To which I replied  "I think you are correct --- but don't try to use the car body for the ground---use the battery neg post."  I thought it would be obvious why.

I was merely cautioning to not forget and stick the negative from the donor car on the Healey body------but rather on the Healey battery negative terminal.

Do I expect an apology from this classless person----nope.  Suggest you READ the context of messages before commenting DICK-------or do you have this burning need to criticise to better cope with yourself.

Again--my upfront apologies to others here, but thanks for listening.

Sorry, what is causing a possible misunderstanding is: You wrote your response
to Michael Hartfield , the originator of the thread (whose question was: >
"When 
charging positive ground batteries, what is the correct connection, 
red to 
ground, black to positive, or the other way around??")

  Your
response should have been to Bob Spidell.
 His was the only post to this
thread that mentioned 'car body' anyway.

Could be extremely misleading when
folks see your reply to Michael as:
 "I think you are correct --- but don't
try to use the car body for the 
ground---use the battery neg post."
 
The
point of my unbelief  was that the post might create a dangerous situation;
hydrogen and sparks do not mix.

My original 100 BN2 rims have more than rivets, they have lots of dings and one has a crack!  I originally intended to have them restored but it will take an artist finish-metalworker to deal with these compound curves.

'62 BT7 - both rims have rivets one with and one without a clip, no

I agree, very odd.  Looks like the PO may have taken the shroud off for some
reason then parked the car outside for 10 years.  If you note on the back
end, however, the paint is peeling off, so something is very amiss here.

While Mr. Dryman may or may not be a prick (I won't comment as I do not have
enough info to draw a judgment)
YOU are the one shot from the hip and confused the subject.
Read the first 2/3 of the first sentence of the OP
"When charging positive ground batteries, what is the correct connection,"
>From this we can deduce that the OP wants to know how to correctly connect a
battery charger to a positive ground automobile.
Five individuals answered the question correctly.
Then you come along with
"I think you are correct --- but don't try to use the car body for the
ground---use the battery neg post."
mkay do you see where you screwed the pooch yet?  No?  Go back and read the
OP again.  When charging a POSITIVE GROUND car...
Still can't see it?  OP puts neg terminal from charger on neg terminal of
battery, positive terminal to either the body or the positive terminal of
the battery (electrically the same place)  Then he reads your post and moves
the positive terminal of the battery charger to the negative terminal of the
battery just like you recommended.
If the OP followed your advice he would have both the positive and negative
terminals of the battery charger attached to the negative post of the
battery.  Trust me this is not the recommended method of battery charger
attachment.
Then when Mr. Dryman called you on it, you went even deeper into left field
in your rebuttal with "I was merely cautioning to not forget and stick the
negative from the donor car on the Healey body------but rather on the Healey
battery negative terminal."
Donor car?  WTF?  You have now confused charging a battery with jump
starting a car, and you still haven't figured out it is a positive ground
car.  Furthermore you got the instructions for jump starting wrong.  When
jump starting  you DO connect the last connection to the body so that when
the a spark jumps from the cable to ground it does not ignite any stray H2
that might be around the top of the battery.  Since battery chargers all
have either a switch or a plug that allows them to be turned off, this
caution is not necessary with a battery charger.
If I were you, I would ask Mr. Dryman for forgiveness.

Thank you all for your comments concerning charging batteries in positive
ground cars.  Sorry to have been the cause of unpleasantness among the
listers.  This is the Christmas season, peace on Earth, good will to men.

Judging from the amount of corrosion localized to the front of the car and the
missing sheet metal I suspect that the car had an engine bay fire at some
point. Maybe the bonnet was off the car at the time since it doesn't appear to
have been damaged.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the info. It looks like I should try to find a 6 port 2.6 then to
replace my early 3000 which came with the car.

If the 3000 engine is in good shape run with it. There are many bn4 s  
out there with 3000 engines. Its a better set up imho. Only reason to  
chsnge is if you are building a car to be judged. My bn4 came with a  
3000 engine

<     My bn4 came with a 3000 engine  >

The Browning/ Needham book on the A-H from 1970 has extensive detailed tuning
info on the various models.  The Tuning section for the 4-port 100-Six
consists of one sentence:

"The larger capacity '3000' engine will fit into the'100-Six' without much
difficulty."

Gergo, I don't know how late your 3000 motor is, but visually, the only real
difference between a late 2.6 and an early 2.9 motor is that the 100-Six head
doesn't have the little flat "shelf", for the Thermo-Carb sender, next to the
thermostat at the front.

You may find a brass band instrument repairman capable of that type of
repair. Of course, just because he's capable, doesn't mean he's willing.

My original 100 BN2 rims have more than rivets, they have lots of dings and
one has a crack!  I originally intended to have them restored but it will
take an artist finish-metalworker to deal with these compound curves. 

Anybody has experience with this or do I need to join the NOS-riveted-rim
hunters group?  And where does this group meet? ;-)

Gergo, 

Another point...in addition to Peter's excellent research into cars close to
yours, your engine, being a newly introduced 6 port engine should be painted
in the dark Morris Green paint. The National Concours Committee has been
conducting extensive research on these cars, and this is one of the many
significant details we've been able to confirm. It seems these engines were
painted his way from the time they began installing the new 6 port engines
at Abingdon from late October '57 until about April of '58 when BN4
production paused for a few months while the new 2 seater BN6 came on line.

Mike--you were in no way the cause of unpleasantness.  Certainly I had a major part to play in that.  I guess I could and should have just let the comments go.  

I can see where my comment could have been confusing.  My intent was something other.  

So--again----to all----I add my wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.

So, when charging a battery on a Healey, I put the red cable on the +  
and the black cable on the headlight rivet?  That is unless you  
dropped the rivets in the concourse, at which point, you would be  
unable to charge it.

per the listing
Nov.1957 (52602) - new six-port motor and remote reservoir now in all cars
Dec. 1957- (52704) -strengthening hoop introduced in bulkhead

I know it does not apply to my Longbridge, but what is this strengthening
hoop

No.  Not if the car is positive ground  ...

Riveting theory though!  I got a charge out  of it!

Hi Peter,

The engine in my car is a ver early 2.9. Only nominaly sronger than the
original 2.6. The head does eve have the "thermo switch" for the
"auto-choke".

Jim,

The early 100-Sixes were criticized for excessive scuttle shake.  This
strengthening hoop was introduced with the idea of minimizing this transverse
"paralellogram" movement of the cowl structure.

Looking into the engine bay of an early 100-Six preferably without the motor,
you see that the space between the footwells and upper bulkhead, (where the
bellhousing sits), you see a perfectly rectangular opening.

On all later Healeys, this space between the footwells is now a semicircular
shape hugging the bellhousing more closely.  This effectively "gusseted" the
corners of the rectangle, making the bulkhead more resistant to sideways,
transverse motion in relation to the frame.

Best
Peter

too impatient, have to source closer to home....
Thanks, will use that as a fall back position.
I had no idea when I found the found the NOS headlight assembly how lucky I
was and how cheaply I bought it... I guess I will have one of my collection
of used rings restored.

A magician worked on a cruise ship.

The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over
and over again.

There was only one problem: The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and
began to understand how the Magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show, "Look, Its
not the same hat!" or, "Look, he's hiding the flowers under  the table!" Or
"Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?"

The magician was furious but couldn't do anything. It was, after all, the
Captain's' parrot.

Then one stormy night on the Pacific, the ship unfortunately sank, drowning
almost all who were on board.
The magician luckily found himself on a piece of wood floating in the middle
of the sea, as fate would have it ... With the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred, but did not utter a word.

This went on for a day... And then 2 days. And then 3 days. Finally on the 4th
day, the parrot could not hold back any longer and said...

"OK, I give up. Where's the fuckin' ship?"

Message-ID: <000f01cb988c$df27ec10$9d77c430$@e.maier@t-online.de>

Hey listers,



I have a few problems with the cylinder head of my 3000 engine.

In summer I rebuild the head by renewing the valves / guides and the surface
was grinded.

But it turned out after a few kilometers around 600-700, that oil was in the
cooling water and then I tightened the cylinder head after about 1000km.
But that didnt have any effect, the amount of oil in the water was actually
increasing.
So I removed the head again and I gave it to an engine shop to put the
cooling ports under pressure, but it did stand the pressure. I thought is
probably due to the sealing or assembly.
I brought a new set of seals and reassembled them, but there was still oil
in the water. I torque down the head with 3 / 6 / 8 / 10.5 Nm here in
several stages.



Do you have any suggestions what I could do to solve this problem? Thank you
in advance.



Regards

Dirk

I have never torqued a Healey head, but all others were a heck of a
lot more torque than 10.5 Nm.  They were more like 100-120 Nm.

That's actually not a bad price.

Headlight rings for my Studebaker are $70.00/ea (I use the Sudebaker
as a cost benchmark for prices as parts for it are normally cheaper
than dirt).

Yes I missed that.
10,5Nm is very little and certainly wrong. It should probably read 
10,5Kgm which is roughly 105Nm.

I also don't think $110 is outrageous for quality NOS rims if they are
correct.  Pricey... yes, but hopefully you get what you pay for.  When I
consider the effort and cost to drill out and make the proper rivet then
re-plate and assemble the originals, then the price is more in line.

By definition, they are not making NOS parts any more, so get them while you
can

Remember the old adage that... "When you go from a 98 point car to a 100
point car, you double the cost of the restoration."

Cheers,

Hello Dirk,

You may have a problem with two oil galleries which run through the water
jackets of the block, especially if you have recently descaled or acid
dipped the block during rebuild.

This problem is not unusual with the 'C'series block.

Cape International in the UK have a kit available for the repair if this is
the problem - costs about 50 GBP and you need to strip the block, find a
good machinist and have it repaired.

My 29D block has a similar problem wherein after a long trip I have traces
of engine oil in the radiator.
I am still driving my Healey with this problem and I won't touch it until
running temperatures (160 degrees on a hot day, 190 in traffic) increase or
I see water in the engine oil.

Rod Shepherd (Queensland, Australia with a modified 57 BN4 'The Beast')

Who knows anything about this oil gallery repair kit as sold by SC Parts, see
No 85 and perhaps other suppliers:

Is this kit to vercome a weakness in the block?
Could that kit be a solution for Dirk`s problem with oil in the water?

Subject: [Healeys] 100 rims alternative sources
Message-ID: <455898.79397.qm@web36708.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Using the Lucas 400e parts manual it's clear that the headlight assemblies
were used on multiple car brands/models in the 50's.  Below is data for the
51336 (F700 (dip left) 12V)  This is just one of the 5 different assemblies
used for the AH 100 BN1 and BN2.  Note that there were variations in the
assembly part# by using a letter suffix, ie A, B, C,...  These indicated that
the whole assembly was interchangeable.   Consulting the same manual you can
check that the rim with part# 554440 was used on these assemblies.

This opens
up the search quite a bit.  I just hope a lucas 554440 rim for let's say a
Wolseley in this list is the same as the 554440 for the Healey.  Also this
list is referenced only from Lucas perspective.  The car manufacturers might
have used other brands parts.  Little chance to that with Lucas domination in
UK at the time but still double-check any findings.  Also as already pointed
out Lucas might have changed the design ie. dropped out the rivet in
subsequent issues of the same part so I would stay close to a the original
manufacturing dates 53-56.

enjoy

Hi Rod, hi Bill,

 

when I removed the head, I saw that the oil port with pressure is only one -
it's for the rocker shaft. 

The other ports are only for the return flow of the oil,  with a low
pressure, I think?

Is it right?

I have also had oil in my coolant.  I checked with a Healey specialty shop
about the repair.  I don't remember the figure but it was more than I wanted
to spend.  There is a place in the block where the oil passage and water
jacket have a very thin amount of metal between them.  A little corrosion
and it starts leaking.  The good thing is that your oil pressure at 20 - 50+
lbs. is always higher than your coolant pressure at 7 lbs or so.  That means
the oil will seep into the coolant, but the coolant won't push it's way into
the oil.  The shop told me the oil, in small amounts doesn't really hurt
anything.  I open the radiator and dip the end of rolled up paper towels
into it to swab out some of the oil periodically.  About once a year I drain
the coolant, refill it a time or two with water and run it to rinse it out.
I have even put some Dawn Dish soap in the water and run it to emulsify the
oil into the water to get more of it out.  After a good rinse run, I drain
and refill with my coolant mix.  My car always runs in the right temp range
(per the thermostat I have installed).  Until it gets much worse, I will
keep doing what I'm doing.  I've never found signs of water in my oil.  
The actual repair requires having the machine shop bore the oil passage and
then they sleeve it.

My 2 cents worth

Yes I missed that.
10,5Nm is very little and certainly wrong. It should probably read
10,5Kgm which is roughly 105Nm.

Took my boys over the see the car, about 20 miles from my house. The NOS
headlight bucket came with a non-rivet outer rim!
So now I will have one with a rivet and one without!
So I will now take a rivet from an older unit and adapt the NOS unit with no
rivet.

Jokes on me.......

Wow, 

He sold 5 out of 8 rims already!   I should have asked for a cut but
no, I believe in good Healey karma.  I am asking the seller if he has the 100
style rims, we'll see, he seems to have a good stash of Lucas nos parts.

Subject: [Healeys] Oil in the water cooling system
Message-ID: <883539.96135.qm@web82206.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello,
I have my engine sitting in the garage waiting for me to rebuild it this
Spring.  When I popped out the core plugs I found nearly 1/2" of rusty "dirt"
in the water jacket.  The block is all standard but the bores are worn.  Are
there any visual clues as to whether or not to sleeve the oil gallery - even
if it passes a pressure test?  The last thing I would want after a restoration
would be to find oil traces in the coolant. 
Thanks for any advice,

Hi guys,

thank you very much for your helpful suggestions.
My problem with the oil is quite the same what John and Bill described.
I worried about dismantling and stripping the engine.
But I think the only way to find out where the crack is, is to put the block
under pressure.

Kind regards
Dirk

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] Oil in the water cooling system

I have also had oil in my coolant.  I checked with a Healey specialty shop
about the repair.  I don't remember the figure but it was more than I wanted
to spend.  There is a place in the block where the oil passage and water
jacket have a very thin amount of metal between them.  A little corrosion
and it starts leaking.  The good thing is that your oil pressure at 20 - 50+
lbs. is always higher than your coolant pressure at 7 lbs or so.  That means
the oil will seep into the coolant, but the coolant won't push it's way into
the oil.  The shop told me the oil, in small amounts doesn't really hurt
anything.  I open the radiator and dip the end of rolled up paper towels
into it to swab out some of the oil periodically.  About once a year I drain
the coolant, refill it a time or two with water and run it to rinse it out.
I have even put some Dawn Dish soap in the water and run it to emulsify the
oil into the water to get more of it out.  After a good rinse run, I drain
and refill with my coolant mix.  My car always runs in the right temp range
(per the thermostat I have installed).  Until it gets much worse, I will

Send the block to redistrip.

The leak from the oil gallery to the water jacket is an issue. But  
I've never actually seen a block that has that issue.
Never.
Clean the block first.
And when you punch out the core plugs, look at the water jacket  
between the bores.
And take a pic or two. Before and after.
Just humour me Joe. Don't just put you block in caustic. Go for  
redistrip.
No financial interest.
But I wouldn't recommend any other way.
Punch put the welch plugs. Punch out the oil gallery plugs. Measure  
the distance to the bottom of the water galleries from the top of the  
bore, and the bottom of the welch plugs. Observe the gap between bores  
from the welch plug holes.
Then record the same data after it's been to redistrip.
Then send me an email.
;-)

Hello Healey listers,
Just short of 3 years after buying a disassembled 64 BJ8 Phase I, and 2
years and 3 months after starting work on the car at BMC Restorations with
Peter Brauen in Kiln, Mississippi, I drove her home yesterday 120 miles to
Baton Rouge. What a thrill! Peter only worked on the car while I was there,
so of course the schedule was limited by my availability.  What a delight,
driving a car that I've wanted since high school in the early 70's.  She's
mine, and she's home.  A dream come true.
http://picasaweb.google.com/mlandrick/HealeyGoesHome121010#
Not quite finished yet though.  As you can see from the pictures, I still
need to install the grill and attach the front bumper.  A bigger task is
putting together the convertible top frame and getting the top on.  I'm
going to attempt to do those myself at home over the next several weeks.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some detailed
instructions for reassembling the frame and installing the convertible top
on it.  I have Norman Nock's Tech Talk book but I don't see any reference to
this particular task.

Thanks to all who have answered questions and helped me find parts.  It's
been fantastic having you all in the Healey brotherhood as a resource. Now,
maybe I can start to become one myself.
Cheers,
Rick

looking good!  don't forget to flat black the x brace in front of the
radiator where it doesn't show through the grille after it's reinstalled.
you'll find that a fun chore.

Rick,



Thanks for the pictures, I never get tired of looking at Healeys and yours 
is especially nice. You look like a tall fellow did you have to move the 
seat back? Also, is that black dot on the shroud by the windshield for an 
antenna? Again great pictures and I know you are very proud.

Rick,
Take an advice from a guy who intended to do the same on his BJ8: don't do
it! Take your car to a pro, and let him both supply the soft top and fit it.
Your car is looking so beautiful, it would be a pity to spoil it with a
clear I-tried-to-do-it-myself-but-in-hindsight-I-shouldn't-have-done-that
top with wrinkles, leaking like hell when in a unexpected rain burst.
I've done a lot of work myself in a 7 year long reconstruction period, but
among other jobs fitting the soft top (and also fitting the upholstery to
the seats) I left to people who are familiar with the tricks of the trade.
Again, it would be a pity for a car looking so great!
Have a look at picasaweb.google.nl/j.aeckerlin to see what pro's do with a
good soft top.
Good luck!

The video set sold by Moss, covering the interior and carpet installation on
a BJ8, has a good section on installing the top. Buy or borrow a copy if you
can.

Hello Healey listers,
Just short of 3 years after buying a disassembled 64 BJ8 Phase I, and 2
years and 3 months after starting work on the car at BMC Restorations with
Peter Brauen in Kiln, Mississippi, I drove her home yesterday 120 miles to
Baton Rouge. What a thrill! Peter only worked on the car while I was there,
so of course the schedule was limited by my availability.  What a delight,
driving a car that I've wanted since high school in the early 70's.  She's
mine, and she's home.  A dream come true.
http://picasaweb.google.com/mlandrick/HealeyGoesHome121010#
Not quite finished yet though.  As you can see from the pictures, I still
need to install the grill and attach the front bumper.  A bigger task is
putting together the convertible top frame and getting the top on.  I'm
going to attempt to do those myself at home over the next several weeks.

I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of some detailed
instructions for reassembling the frame and installing the convertible top
on it.  I have Norman Nock's Tech Talk book but I don't see any reference to
this particular task.

Thanks to all who have answered questions and helped me find parts.  It's
been fantastic having you all in the Healey brotherhood as a resource. Now,
maybe I can start to become one myself.
Cheers,
Rick

Not necessarily so, Mark. Suppliers, including Moss are very inconsistent. I
ordered two for a Hundred 3 weeks ago and they came in with reasonable
quality chrome, proper shape, but no rivets

Car looks great, I like the white over blue.

I am generally a strong proponent of DIY efforts, I too would give some 
thought to having the top professionally done, it is sort of a get it right 
the first time or your hosed proposition, but I have no idea what your skill 
sets are, but it is kind of a specialized deal.

Then again if you are like me your car will spend very little time with the 
top up!

If you do it use the old carpenters adage, but measure three or four times 
before you cut, glue, etc.

As I said to Rick, leave the top to a professional. I too did a frame off on
my phase 1 and was determined to to the top to perfection, but was never
satisfyied with it and tryed to correct the fit a number of times. I'm not
sure if it was the top or my abilitys. As I have said over the years to
clients, you stay home and do what you do best, and I'll do my best for you,
whether its restoring a car or a house. The interior is relatively easy with
the kits out there, with patience, it can make you proud of the results.The
convertible top is a beautiful and functional thing and really sets off the
car when done right. I recently did my MG-TD top (way much simpler, start with
one of those), and always attract lookers at car shows with the top up. Bob

rivet on eBay.  However a recent search on their eBay store didn't turn up
any hits for that item.

Hi Dirk and Josef. I suffered from this in my BN7 for a number of years,
tried head gaskets, etc.,  and then did the SC kit in the first rebuild of
the engine, in 2000. It didn't help, but then, nothing about that rebuild
was right. After finding my heart for the fight again, I pulled the engine
another time, and took it to a better engine rebuilder. This shop did
everything differently, really understood the engineering process, and the
results have been terrific. The oil in coolant problem was fixed with a
concrete-like product that the builder, Guy Henson, carefully flowed into
the area he calculated was the source of this porosity. Bingo. I have
watched the coolant carefully for 8 years and about 12K miles  without a
problem. You can find Guy at http://www.dgmotors.biz/default.htm

I love these fellows. Jim Wojcik, BN7 Minnesota

Hi Bob,
Thanks for the guidance.  I've done two MGB tops and wasn't really satisfied
with either of them.  That being said, I'm older, wiser, more patient, and
more experienced than before, but still certainly not an expert.  In this
case I'll go down the road of doing it myself for awhile - learning,
reading, talking, trialing, and then decide. Your feedback is helpful.

Hi Jerry, Mel, Jaap, Herb, Greg,
I'm on the digest, so just seeing all of your feedback.

Appreciate the comments on the car.  It was originally Ivory White, but I
needed a little more color, and with my favorite one being blue, I had to go
with Healey Blue coves with blue interior and top. Distinctive color combo
for sure.  I only found 7 BJ8's with that color combination when I searched
Steve's registry files a couple years ago when I decided what color to paint
mine.

Jerry - I hand painted the x brace silver to match the aluminum air
conditioning condenser, so when you look through the grill, the x brace
disappears into the condenser, I believe the factory's intention with black
in front of the black radiator.

Mel - seat doesn't go any farther back because of the panel around the
convertible top attaching pad.  Too bad, I'm feeling quite close to the
dash.  Good eye with the 7/8" rubber grommet in the hole where the antenna
used to be. We cut 2" out of the foam before putting the seat together to
lower my eyes below the windshield frame. I'm 6'2" and it works great,
although the seat is a little hard.  Should have done the holes too.

Jaap - very nice pictures of your car.  Mine started out completely
disassembled for 15 years, but fortunately dipped and primed, so not as
rusty.  I hear your advice loud and clear - I'll definitely read, study,
talk, measure, measure, and trial fit before I decide to use razor blades,
glue, and tacks.

Herb,
Forgot about the Moss video.  Knew they had it for MGBs, have seen it, but
didn't think about Healeys.  However, now with everything done but the top,
not good value for money, but I'll check with local contacts to see if they
have a copy I can look at.

Greg,
Thanks for the accolades, but I'll have to give credit to Peter Brauen of
BMC Restorations in Kiln, MS.  He's the real craftsman, I'm just the helper
and learner.

Cheers,
Rick

Hi,

I have a 6 cyl headlight rim with rivet for trade or sale, pic on

http://www.flickr.com/photos/50942694 at N05/5252232147/

This came of an early 6 cyl of a friend.  Light scratches that will polish out.  Rivet is slightly more yellow so probably original but not 100% sure.
More pics on request.

Looking to trade for things like Lucas ST330 master battery switch (broken ok),  Overdrive dash toggle switch (long toggle), starter solenoid,  sideshift transmission knob, 100 headlight rim.

Will also part out and sell the rivet to the highest bidder!  ;-)

cheers,

Were early 3000's frames ever painted black?- on a non black car?  A 3000 on
e-bay currently claims that the frame rails being painted black is correct?  I
have heard of some early frames being painted black, but thought it was the
entire frame including engine comp, etc.

The frames were painted black only on cars that had headlight rims with no
rivets, all others were painted body colour. It's late saturday what can I
say.

Practically speaking this would not make sense since the substructure,
which was welded to the chassis at Jensens, would (by default) need to
be painted body color because of how the whole thing was made.  If the
chassis was black the substructure would have to be black as well.

This was in my town.  Did someone here buy/sale it?  Assuming the top  
will fit, it seems like a good buy, and the top came with the stand.

rick,
my first Healey was a '67  BJ8 acquired in '78 while then living in Plano,
Tx.  my first major chore was to install a new top since the BJ8 was
relegated to the driveway until my new garage/workshop was completed.  the
top was a Robbins which came with no instructions or chalk-marks.  through
trial and error, i finally obtained a passable fit,however, along the way
established the one-hand record for the longest toss of the U shaped rear
retainer.
cheers,
jerry

I've always loved the lines on an E-type,  but the wheelbase is too
narrow for my eye.  The wheels on a 3000 are almost flush with the
body, and I prefer that look.

Very nice anchor, I don't think I would have wasted the time to take  
pictures.  I like the raised "Duck Tail" rear, looks like it's back is  
broken.
Then there are the well preserved rusty fenders in plastic.  What a  
deal.  A case of your favorite brew to anyone who takes this pile of  
rust on.

I like the use of the word "uniqueness".

I also like the VIN tag:
"When ordering replacements quote car number: <whatever it is>"

Does that mean replacement "car"?  ;)

Message-ID: <000501cb9a30$21ccf8e0$6566eaa0$@lachlan@homecall.co.uk>

Reference my previous question on (dead) speedos....

Once again, many thanks for all the replies and data.

Now, I did spot an angle drive going cheap on eBay and just resisted buying
it. (Is it just me or does anyone else throw new parts at a problem until it
goes away?)

I raised the tunnel cover and got to the angle drive.

The speedo cable was broken about 4in up from the angle drive. So that much
is solved.

Do these things often break? Mine doesn't do many miles and I don't think I
was stressing it by, for example, having it at too acute an angle.

And should the angle drive be removed and serviced(?) in any way whilst it's
accessible?

I presume that one just loosens off the round brass cross-hatched threaded
wotsit and the drive just comes off?

Since the cable broke, that might indicate that the speedo is binding.

Subject: [Healeys] Smitty 5-speed for sale
Message-ID: <84006.26074.qm@web36703.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi,

I acquired a complete Smitty transmission last spring from a Healey restorer who was bringing a BJ8 back to original spec.  The idea was to start driving with with this box, while restoring an original BN2 sideshifter with broken overdrive.  I also got tempting offers just for the original bellhousing, one from a 100s owner.  I only live only a couple miles from smitty's workshop so it should have been a no-brainer, right?

Well last summer I restored the OD and refurbished the gearbox.  OD needed everything including new uni-directional and the steel ring in the annulus as both were shattered.  Plus bearings, washers, springs, balls... the works.  Initially the OD was not building up enough pressure but seating the operating valve ball with a punch and replacing this ball with a new one did the trick.  I got perfect pressure with the trans on the bench driven by an electric motor.  I ran the box multiple times on the bench for about an hour and operated the OD observing the speed change with a digital tach.  So I decided this summer the BN2 side shifter goes in the car and the smitty is now for sale. 

Add, info and pictures on British car forum.

Working on the xk150 trying to resolve some leaking/seeping carb issues.

Is there some sort of gasket dressing that can be used to supplement the
fiber washers?

Car has one of those electric thermostatically controlled "starter
carbs" instead of a choke.

The car uses HD4's and the starter carb feeds off the bottom (where the
float bowl would be fastened with 4 screws on the HD8).

There are a total of 5 fiber washers used to connect this thing, and I
am leaking out of 4 of them.

I am a bit concerned about continuing to tighten the steel fitting into
the bottom of the aluminum carb in fear of stripping or cracking it.
(both on the main and starter carb)

Alternatively, apparently these elect starter carbs are such a problem
that I'm wondering if it may make more sense to fashion a manual choke.

The fiber washers actually work quite well. They do require a couple re-
tightenings as they soften with the fuel contact. Make sure the ones you are
using are very close to the same thread diameter on their ID. Those 13/16"
[sic] 7/16 Whitworth fitting will take a surprising amount of torque. Don't
have any numbers but I'll guess I go over 50-60 ft lbs very often..

Bert,
Bench testing is great, but I'd wait until the BN2 tranny is proven in 
the car before selling the Toyota one.

The problem is 99.9% of all the sealants out there dissolve in gasoline. I
would replace the fiber washers or (you're not gonna believe this) coat them
by rubbing with a bar of soap. Gasoline does not dissolve soap. A sliver of
soap jammed in a bashed gas tank is an old off roader's trick to get home.
Anyway in your case the soap will/should fill between the fibers to prevent
seepage.
Good luck.

Take the generator to a local shop that rebuilds generators and have them test
it. It's not a bad idea to take the regulator in with it so they can test them
together.

Permatex makes a sealant that is resistant to gasoline.  I get it at my
local auto parts store.   The tube is marked Permatex 2 Pliable
Non-Hardening Sealant, and it says it is resistant to oil, fuel, and
chemicals.  I've used it on the flange of my fuel tank sending unit, and it
hasn't leaked yet.

The problem is 99.9% of all the sealants out there dissolve in gasoline. I
would replace the fiber washers or (you're not gonna believe this) coat them
by rubbing with a bar of soap. Gasoline does not dissolve soap. A sliver of
soap jammed in a bashed gas tank is an old off roader's trick to get home.
Anyway in your case the soap will/should fill between the fibers to prevent
seepage.
Good luck.

My concern, more than the price is the ratios.

5 gear is 1:1. (as 4 gear w/o  overdrive on the BN2)
6 gear is :0.47 ( a very high drop on engine revs and may not very suitable
for normal road use)
I just hoped that the ratios were
4 gear 1:1
5 gear 1:0.75 more or less
6 gear 1:0.6 more or less

The toyota is
4 gear 1:1
5 gear 1:0.78

But jumping from 1:1 to 1:0:47 in 1 gear is too much...


And i got some pictures and YES the gear shifter is in the side a the original
car. This is great, but the ratios are terrible

Has anyone seen one installed in a BN1 - 2 - 4 with side shift ?

Thanks

Jose

Thanks for the responses so far.  I probably should clarify that I already
know it doesn't work, just want to know if it is the field or the armature.

Jose:
my preference would be
fourth gear of 1:1
fifth gear of .8
6th gear .6

this would give you a close box where you need it and two great
cruising gears. the 6 th gear  is for over 80 MPH cruising.
here are the ratios from a 550 Maranallo,  6 Speed Manual with a 3.9
Final Drive
1st Gear Ratio 3.15:1
2nd Gear Ratio 2.18:1
3rd Gear Ratio 1.57:1
4th Gear Ratio 1.19:1
5th Gear Ratio 0.94:1
6th Gear Ratio 0.76:1

Can anyone supply me with the references (size) of all the oil seals required

I had then ordered from Moss but got seized by Colombian customs ... And now I
wont have them before new year...
I just need the sizes...

Hi Listers,

Sorry, I didn't anticipate to get so many inquiries from listers
within a couple hours.  I offered first to our online community of Healey
enthusiasts thinking there might be somebody interested and I would hear back
in a couple days or a week or so.  I don't want a bidding war so I am handling
this chronologically.   But with 5 inquiries in one afternoon I am putting a
hold on the Smitty for now.  Otherwise I will need to disappoint even more
people.  I'll let you know if/when it's still available.

Mark, fluctuation of the fuel gauge needle, IMHO, indicates fluctuating
voltage as the fuel gauge is no more than a volt meter. I got rid of the
fluctuation by soldering a thin flexible wire to the float arm and grounding
the other end on the sender body - see attached picture (for your eyes
only). The explanation is that the current through the sender mechanism  has
to pass from the shaft with the wiper to the sender body. Lucas thought
their equipment was corrosion free, but it isn't , and one gets a nice
fluctuating resistance in the bore.
With the flex wire the resistance is close to nil and also not fluctuating.
At least this solution worked for me....
Good luck!

Jonas -

I have a '59 Mk IX with twin HD6s + the starter carb.  It is very similar in
set up & age to your XK 150.

The fibre washers will eventually seal, you just have to tighten them with a
little twist, probably twice over a couple of months/500 miles type of
thing.  I figure it's easier to tighten them up then pull the bloody thing
apart again and use sealant.

Note that the starter cab is an open system and, depending on how hard you
drive your car, the carb will splash fuel out of the top and leak to the
bottom of the AED & the carb it's attached to.  It can look like the fibre
washers are leaking when in fact it's the fuel coming out of the top of the
AED (starter carb) and wicking into the fibre washers at the bottom of the
AED.

Note that the carbs use BSP threads to anchor the banjo fittings into the
aluminum carbs.  This means you can put quite a bit of pressure on them to
seal them up without worrying about stripping threads in the Ali carbs.
 Generally speaking you should be safe up to about 35 ft-lbs or so of
pressure (medium to medium hard hand pressure on your spanner).

The best way to use your AED is to bypass the Lucas Otter switch, and do a
manual toggle switch to ground.  I use it this way on my AED and keep it off
most of the time, and when I do turn it on I only turn it on for about 10-20
seconds to get the car running.

Cheers,

Alan

Jack

On most, if not all sender units that are fitted to our cars, the 
electrical connection does not, as you describe rely on current passing 
from the sender shaft to the body through the bearing surfaces. There is 
a small hair spring of about 3 turns that wraps around the shaft  at its 
centre that make a direct connection between the body and the rotating 
section.

This is hardly visible unless you remove the resistor former. Not an 
easy task I admit. This light coil spring often breaks and a fix like 
yours becomes the only realistic solution.

For the record, our sender units were made by Smiths not Lucas.

Regards

There are only a couple of angle drives depending on the size of the  
cable attaching size. They all are a 1:1 ratio.

Listers,

Yes I know we're talking about transmission transplants but this also brings
up the subject of final drive ratios.  I have a 3.54 rear end for my BN1 and
others that have installed them in their BN2s loved them, especially for
long distance cruising.  I'm curious as to the final drive ratio when
switching from the stock 4.11 rear given this quote...
*
<But jumping from 1:1 to 1:0:47 in 1 gear is too much...>*

Does anyone have these numbers?  Mike Lempert?

Steve,
I can highly recommend Apple Hydraulics. I send all  front shocks to them and
they  come back like new. The only thing you need to change are the bolts for
the back plates. The shocks come back with hexagonal screws instead of slotted
or poxidrive ones.
But for rear shocks I always go with new ones.


Btw: Could anyone tell me when the change was (what year) from slotted to
poxidrive screws?

I recommend World Wide Auto Parts.

I would suggest calling & discussing the specific steps they perform during  a
rebuild to better understand their approach.

The major project this winter is rear suspension overhaul.  What is the
urrent wisdom of the list on where to send the shocks for overhaul?  Except
or one last forward spring bolt that refuses to let go, all is apart.  I'll
eplace hardware, springs and the panhard rod bushes.    Anything else that I

Rich,

Although I know nothing about AMCO tonneau covers per se, I offer the  
following general points. If you have a way to ask for a measurement  
of the length of the long zipper down the middle of the tonneau I  
would get it.  The original zipper length for a factory  tonneau is  
approximately 31-32".  If the zipper is shorter than 31 " it will  
likely be difficult to fold one side down (driver side) and snap it to  
the heel board behind the seat.  Further, with a short zipper the top  
may not lie flat across the top of the rear shroud when one side is  
folded down and fixed to the heel board.

Also, I notice from the pictures provided that all of the  snaps seem  
to be installed on the cover.  If the placement of the snaps doesn't  
match the positioning of the posts on the car body you may have  
further difficulties. I prefer to install my own snap hardware and get  
it right.

Simon,  With the drive cable broken above the angle drive, it is highly
unlikely the angle drive is the problem.  It has to be with the speedometer.
Years ago my girl friend's MG Midget's speedo quite and I found the drive
cable broken and thought it had just worn out, so I replaced it.  It worked
fine for a few days and then broke again.  I used a small common screw driver
and inserted it into the drive at the back of the speedo to see if there was
any drag and found it to turn quite easily in one direction but would lock up
in the other direction in about half of a revolution.  Turned out the other
direction was the direction the transmision would turn the cable when the car
was in reverse.  I opened up the speedo and found a lever had come loose
inside and would lock up the mechanism.  It was a very long time ago, but I
think it had something to do with the odometer and would lock up in reverse
but would work fine in forward.   As I remember, it was a snap ring or clip of
some sort that had fallen off and allowed the lever to get caught on the
inside of the speedo housing.  I found the clip (snap ring) inside and put it
back on and had no further problems after that.  That is why it worked for a
few days until the first time she backed up and I snapped the cable again.
Try turning your speedo by hand and see if that is the problem.

Reference my previous question on (dead) speedos....
Once again, many thanks for all the replies and data.
Now, I did spot an angle drive going cheap on eBay and just resisted buying
t. (Is it just me or does anyone else throw new parts at a problem until it
oes away?)
I raised the tunnel cover and got to the angle drive.
The speedo cable was broken about 4in up from the angle drive. So that much
s solved.
Do these things often break? Mine doesn't do many miles and I don't think I
as stressing it by, for example, having it at too acute an angle.
And should the angle drive be removed and serviced(?) in any way whilst it's
ccessible?
I presume that one just loosens off the round brass cross-hatched threaded
otsit and the drive just comes off?
Simon.

Just looking at the numbers, if a 0.47 OD is applied to a final drive (rear
axle ratio) of 4.10 you would be effectively at 1.93.  Unless you are running
at the salt flats that axle ratio will not be useful on the street or highway.
Actually I'm not sure anyone runs a ratio below 2.00. The horsepower and
torque curves of the Healey engines will not work with this set up. Its tough
to climb a hill on US 40 (at or near the speed limit) when your Healey RMP's
read somewhere near idle. Just saw a some what related example of this on one
of the Supercar shows on the Speed Channel. A Viper, that has lots of HP and
torque, falls flat in top gear because the gearing is just not quite right.
The Vette on the other hand had a slightly different set up and powered by in
top gear. Although I would like to drive either at 180MPH.
Aloha
Perry

Listers,
Yes I know we're talking about transmission transplants but this also brings
p the subject of final drive ratios.  I have a 3.54 rear end for my BN1 and
thers that have installed them in their BN2s loved them, especially for
ong distance cruising.  I'm curious as to the final drive ratio when
witching from the stock 4.11 rear given this quote...

But jumping from 1:1 to 1:0:47 in 1 gear is too much...>*
Does anyone have these numbers?  Mike Lempert?
Cheers,

Hi all,

 

I have a knock coming from my rear end that I am trying to track down.

 

It occurs only 50% of the time.  Often when jarring the car forward such as
when engaging the overdrive and sometimes when starting to take off.

 

I don't believe that it is coming from the differential but can't be
certain. When the car is on jacks and I turn the rear wheels back and forth,
I do not get a Knock.

 

The shackles are all tight.

 

Could it be the radius arm bushings??     Or the bushes on the spring
shackles?

 

Thanks

paul

I believe that it is much better to install the snaps yourself. When I
bought my car 15 years ago, the tonneau did not fit correctly and I deduced
that it was because of snaps preinstalled. I bought a new one, installed the
snaps myself and the new one fits perfectly. Just had to take my time and be
sure that I got it right. Our cars are pretty much standard with respect to
the mechanics but the body work and accoutrements need tweaking that can
only be done on site.

I had a similar knock that you are describing a few years ago.  It turned out
to 
be loose rear shock bolts.  I tighten them and the knock went away.  It's
worth

I'm not an expert on the quality of parts, but I've used everything

I agree,

I had mine done a few months ago, I thought they were new when I  
opened the box.
Beautiful work.
The ride has improved remarkably.

Paul,
I had a knocking sound several years ago and checked all the stuff that you
did. My noise was actually a rear shock mounting hole that was enlarged. Put a
wrench on both shocks bolts and see it they are tight.

Hi all,
I have a knock coming from my rear end that I am trying to track down.
It occurs only 50% of the time.  Often when jarring the car forward such as
when engaging the overdrive and sometimes when starting to take off.
I don't believe that it is coming from the differential but can't be
certain. When the car is on jacks and I turn the rear wheels back and forth,
I do not get a Knock.
The shackles are all tight.
Could it be the radius arm bushings??     Or the bushes on the spring
shackles?
Thanks
paul

Does the Moss video show how to safely remove the old covers? My front
seats, dash pad and rear squab are in fine shape and could be bought (used)
by someone with a daily driver or rat Healey (as mine was before
the transformation).
I'd like to borrow a copy of the video too. I'd like to begin work on seats
soon.
Thanks

Paul,

A year or two after having my rear shocks re-built I began to have  
knocking noises in the rear of our BJ8. The only source I could  
imagine with enough mass to cause the heavy thudding I was beginning  
to hear  when crossing a road bump was a loose shock mounting.  I  
pulled the wheels off and sure enough I could put a small amount of  
torque on at least one of the two nuts on the mounting bolts.  That  
quieted them down until late this last summer.  I began to hear the  
noise again.  So,  one of my winter jobs this year is going to be  
pulling the four bolts and replacing them with fresh new bolts washers  
and locking nuts.  I plan to use grade 8 hardware.  I also plan to use  
nylock nuts on the bolts in the hopes that they will stay tight this  
time.  Although I suspect the reason my old bolts have loosened up  
twice is that they are the original bolts and are probably stretched.

If you find that your noise is due to loose shock hardware be sure to  
check the bolt holes for egg-shaped wear from motion under load.   
Additionally, inspect the shock links carefullly as well.  I have  
found mine (again the factory originals) have begun to shift the  
bushings out of position.  I am also replacing the links during my  
winter projects.

Paul -

Generally the diff will whine when it fails, rather than knock, so you
should be fine.

I'd check shock mount bolts, that's what it sounds like to me.  Also
possibly U-joints, but I'd look at the shock mounts first.  They need to be
TIGHT on the healey.

Had the same problem on the FX4 Cab. I had to put a sandpaper "gasket" under
the rear shock to stop its movement (well...erm... not a factory solution,
but worked - I was afraid of pulling the thread off the bolts).

I just saw on the  World Wide Auto Parts wep page the change in fitting of the
front shocks from No RM6075 to No RM8002 was inn 1961/62.
So my question: Which is the right shock for a 1962 BT7 Tricarb? Is it RM6075
or RM 8002?
Does anybody know?

Joesf,

Their catalog (http://nosimport.com/shoxcatalog.htm) shows RM6075 for 
the roadsters and RM8002 for the convertibles.  Based on the factory 
parts list, I don't think that's correct:

AKD 8555 (3rd edition) parts list for BN6 gives 1B4459.

The AKD 1151 (4th edition) parts list for BN7, BT7 and BJ7 shows the 
front shock changed during roadster production:

	Original P/N: 1B4459
	     New P/N: AYH4040
	  Commencing: 17236 BN7 (Wire Wheels)
		      17129 BT7 (Wire Wheels)
		      18484 BT7 (Disc Wheels)

AKD 3523 parts list for BJ7 and BJ8 gives AYH4040.

So 1B4459 is RM6075 and AYH4040 is RM8002.

Off on a tangent:  AKD 1151 shows BN7 production ended with car number 
18888; BT7 with 19853.  BJ7 production started with 17551.  The 
overlapping numbers would imply that all three series were in production 
for a period of time, but the "Original Austin-Healey" by Clausager 
states that the BN7 production ended in March 1962, BT7 ended in June 
1962 and BJ7 started in May 1962.

Bob,
Many thanks, that`s very helpful. World Wide Auto Parts catalog says RM6075 up
to the year 1961. That may mean not to the end of BT7/BN7 Production. Their
catalog also says RM8002 starts with BJ7, which seems to be wrong.

What`s the difference between RM6075 and RM 8002? Is it just on RM6075 there
were slotted screws used and on RM 8002 poxidrive? I have both types in front
of me and that`s the only visible difference I can see.

The spring rates on the roadsters vs. the convertibles are different
(because the convertibles are heavier); therefore I believe the damping
rates of the shocks are different.

Thats the easy part.  The problem is putting the new ones on and getting the 
piping tilted in the right direction,
and getting as little  glue on you as possible,

Just release the the old stuff carefully at the edges and lift slowly and 
evenly all the way around.  Take
care not to pull too much of the foam off if it is glued down.

You may want to send them to Heritage.  Less pain and tears.

I don't know what the difference is.  Peter Caldwell of World Wide Auto 
Parts of Madison is on this mailing list.  Hopefully, he'll have a free

Several Austin-Healey prints (some that can be customized) at 
http://www.driversroad.com/healey.html and one of the '54 streamliner at 
http://www.driversroad.com/new.html.  Lots of other LBC.  A Healey is 
featured in "A Day In The Life Of A British Car Owner" cartoon.

Steve customized a Healey 100 print for me (removed the bumpers) and I 
purchased a few other prints. Quick turn around.  Nice guy to do

If anyone needs a set of original BJ8 front disk brake rotors, I have two. 
They're in good shape, with surface rust that probably will come off when 
the pads apply pressure, or they can be polished or turned before 
installation.

 I reiterate; these rotors are originals, not Chinese. Make a reasonable 
offer with shipping.

Bob, Josef,
      Sorry, I was off list for a bit.  The shock 6075 and 8002 are 
externally identical. The number we use is the Armstrong number 
stamped on the underside of each shock casting on the fronts. (on the 
rears, the number is stamped on the lower edge of a mounting boss)

         Internally, the valve springs change wire diameter by a few 
thousandths. Not terribly significant, and honestly, probably not as 
noticeable as a change t radial tires from bias ply.

         The screws are not the difference.  Armstrong had running 
changes in manufacture over the years going from slotted to posidrive 
to Phillips screws all on the same part number. There is usually a 
date code on the front shocks into the 1980s. The valve nut (7/8") 
also changes over the years as does the seat in the body.

         I have a downladable copy of the Armstrong catalog page for 
the Healey shocks if someone wants to host it.  And Bob, your numbes 
are correct, as both the BMC and the Armstrong numbers are stamped on 
the shock base.

         Now.... what about color..... ;-)

tuning.B  Well, it wasnbt quite like I recalled.B  Upon review, the article
is about four non-standard types of shocks that Armstrong made for compression
and rebound settings that meet the requirements of both the racing driver and
street use.B  It included a table for the Austins, Healeys, and MG sports
cars.B  B

A copy of the Safety Fast article is attached and also sent to John Sims to

Sometimes hitting a bump would cause a knocking noise originating from the

Paul:  Since the 'knock' comes when "...starting to take off...", my 
experience was worn splines on the rear hub/wheel. To quote Norman Nock's 
Tech Talk, "The work "clunk" is a very good description of the sound made by 
a worn wire wheel hub or wheel splines..."

Engage the parking brake, jack up the rear wheels, move the wheels back and 
forth and see how much play there is.  There is a recommended maximum 
movement but I can not find the info at this time.

Listers,

Many cars of the period, especially in the rust belt, has a dark colored
undercoating applied either by the dealer or soon thereafter.  This could
and has caused some confusion in the past.

Also OEW 100s often had the engine compartments and other area of the frame
and chassis painted black from the factory, but as far as we know, this
practice did not continue into the six-cylinder cars.

Cheers,

Curt

I have a dog and a wife, respectively, 145 pounds of Bernese Mountain Dog and 125 pounds of ... We're not sure. She was adopted. 

I know she's not talking to me when she says:
   Where's my big handsome Boy?
   Do you want dinner?
   Want to go out?
   I love you, my big furry boy. (and I have a beard)

I know she is talking to me when I get into bed and she says, 
   Did you let the dog in?

I love my wife and she loves me.  We joke a lot.  
As she likes to say, "29 years and I'm still here. What more proof do you need?"

Mine was undercoated and I think's Z-Bart. At least that's what was around
the mid-west in the 60's.

I'm sure it's why the the body is in such great
shape.

What are the advantages, if any, of a toothed fan belt over a solid one?
Any list wisdom on pros/cons?

I believe that the tooth belts were developed for alternator equipped 
cars.  Alternators have smaller pulleys.  The toothed belt can wrap 
around a smaller pulley than the solid one.

Actually we have seen some specific evidence of a few black engine bays on
very early Old English White 100/Six models.

Listers,

Many cars of the period, especially in the rust belt, has a dark colored
undercoating applied either by the dealer or soon thereafter.  This could
and has caused some confusion in the past.

Also OEW 100s often had the engine compartments and other area of the frame
and chassis painted black from the factory, but as far as we know, this
practice did not continue into the six-cylinder cars.

Cheers,

Curt

Rich,

Thanks for that information.  My neighbor has a very original BN4 body
number 374 (all matching numbers) that was originally OEW but was painted
red in the mid 1970s.  I will check the car out this week and see if there
is evidence of a black engine bay.

BTW the car is for sale and it's one of the most rust free cars I've ever
seen, plus literally no accident damage, shrouds are perfect.  In fact the
rear wing doglegs don't appear to have any rust in them and I don't believe
they've ever been repaired.

Cheers,

Curt

Email me if interested

Toothed belts wrap around a pulley better, providing more friction
surface and less stress on the belt and bearings.  All around a better
solution.

There is a early 3000 on e-bay right now that claims that the rails being
painted black are original.  I knew the previous owner/ car and tried to tell
the current owner/ seller that may not be accurate.

Yes, Most likely a loose shock. When they get to the point where you have a
"knock", the mounting holes may now have become oval. Rather than just try to
tighten the old bolts, I would remove them, clean and oil them up and replace
the nuts with new nylocs.

My 1959 100-6 BN4 generator died (22489B).  I acquired a BN1 generator(22456).
The pulley is different between the two and also the rear oiling system.  The
mounting spacing is the same.  If I swap the pulleys, is there any other
reason why the BN1 generator could not be used??
Thanks, Shawn

I once owned BN4L -0- 31903. It did not have the "gusset" plate in the
bulkhead that we are talking about in this thread. At the time I just thought
that the factory had forget to weld it in because every Healey I had owned up
till then had that gusset plate.
By the way, the -0- in the VIN is not a number. It stands for Overdrive.

A toothed belt is less prone to cracking because it is much more 
flexible so it lasts much longer on small pulleys. Also grip is better 
than the old smooth belts so they can be fitted a bit less tight, saving 
the water pump and generator/alternator bearings.

They are basically the same.  Actually, the earlier ones are a bit
better built, so I see no problems with this.

I have found steering arms in my attic with a piece of paper saying these are supposed to be from an AH 100 BN1. There are numbers cast in the arms. One is "1B6164-CFA9B-1-RH", the other "1B6165 MF B4". I'm not sure of the correctness of the numbers/letters on the second arm, as it is hard to read. Much to my surprise I didn't find these numbers in my BN1 parts manual. The numbers for the steering arms in the manual are 1B4312 (R/H) and 1B4311 (L/H). Can somebody shed some light on which steering arms I hold in my hands, please?

Those numbers will not be part numbers you'd find in the Parts List. They
would more likely be casting numbers for the unfinished casting. I believe
the earlier Hundred arms had threads to receive the through bolts, whereas
later models had the holes smooth right through and the bolts ran through to
flat keeper strips and nuts on the other side.

Thanks for all the comments on the rear knocking noise....

Consensus seems to be splines, shock mounts or splined hubs...

I'll keep you posted.

Yes, Most likely a loose shock. When they get to the point where you have a
"knock", the mounting holes may now have become oval. Rather than just try
to
tighten the old bolts, I would remove them, clean and oil them up and
replace
the nuts with new nylocs.

Thanks for all the responces so far.  I like to share with the group when I
learn something new.  I did learn that the BN1 puts out 22 max. cont. output
(amps) and the BN4 puts out 25 max. cont. output (amps).  So there is a 3 amp
difference.  Is this a big deal?  I'm not sure, but would think so?

Actually, the 22 amp might actually be better, less chance of frying
your VR if you drain the battery.

As long as you don't have a high powered boom box or 4 fog lights on
the front you should be fine.

The gen will normally be only charging minimally anyway.

The regulator, Lucas 37183, is used from the BN1 through the BJ7. The 
BJ8 used Lucas 37331. This would mean, I believe, that the output 
should be consistently close to the same for all cars up the to the BJ8.

It depends on which electrical consumers you use. The simple equation is:

amps (needed) = watts divided by volts

Just add up the watts of all eletrical consumers (headlights, wipers, blower, lamps, radio, etc.), divide this number by 12 (or better 13) and you'll get the amps the dynamo/alternator should be able to generate at least, if you use all these consumers at the same time. No need to add the watts of the starter motor, as this is fed from the battery for obvious reasons.

The 25 amp generator is good for about 325 watts, while the 22 amp generator will only serve 285 watts consumers. Consumers with the highest consume rate are typically the headlights.

Let's say you were driving at night during rain. Headlights on (~120 w), lamps (~40 w), wipers (~40 w), blower for demisting the windscreen (~40 w) and you have  a consumption of about 240 watts. The 22 amp gen puts out 285 watts at a maximum, and I've not calculated the power needed for the ignition and maybe other small consumers. Not to forget the max output figures counted for new gens and have always been on the optimistic side.

Not quite correct. The voltage regulator doesn't control the output, but the voltage. The output is measured in watts, which in turn are dependent on voltage and current. Voltage is stabilized at about 12.7 volts by the regulator and the current produced depends on the demand of all electrical consumers. So we can say that the generator output is "controlled" (or better determined) by the demand of the consumers. Max output is limited by the generator's ability.

I think the question should be what the max output is. As you can read in my earlier mail (response to the Nocks) the output is not determined by the voltage regulator. And the BJ8 used to have a Lucas C42 gen installed unlike the earlier Healeys, which had a C45 installed. I believe that the C42 was capable of a higher max output rate.

May I chip in here.

What matters with a generator is that it must not overheat as it will 
burn out if taken much above its maximum output rating. This is why 
regulation voltage is set at a given temperature. The regulation voltage 
is allowed to increase if the temperature is lower and therefore the 
cooling air is more effective. Interestingly the C45 generator had its 
output rating increased prior to its application on A-H with just an 
improved fan and no other change.

The current that flows and therefore the amount of heat generated 
internally depends on the difference between the regulation voltage and 
the destination voltage. This being the battery. A low charge battery 
will take more current than one that is fully charged because the 
battery voltage rises as it takes charge.

However with a low battery and the extra load of the headlamps etc, the 
voltage difference might be too high such that more current flows than 
is safe. Therefore on the two coil regulator there is another current 
winding that reduces the regulation voltage to a point where the 
generator current is safe. On a three coil regulator maximum current is 
more carefully controlled so a maximum figure is quoted from the same 
basic generator.

Thinner brushes also helped but I will not go into this.

 From what I have read the C42 was improved such that it could run hotter 
safely and therefore give a higher output although being smaller.

Regards

G'day Chris

I just happen to know about this car - and yes he is my accountant.
Incestuous lot we Austin-Healey owners are.

It is a dark blue BJ7 that was despatched new on 15 March 1963 to the Donald
Healey Motor Company. Nothing unusual about that, but the current owner when
he received the Heritage Certificate found out that it was delivered
finished in primer.

A request for information to Geoffrey Healey didn't reveal much, but a later
letter to Brian Healey was quite the opposite.

Bic stated that he could recall selling a 3000 to a customer who wanted his
car in a dark blue colour. So the DHMC had one delivered in primer and then
had it painted. Brian also said that while the outside of the car was
painted, the engine bay was left in primer as the owner wasn't prepared to
go to the expense of stripping out the engine bay for painting.

Many years later the car was restored and a decision had to be made to leave
the engine bay as it was or paint it in the dark blue. It was painted.

Hope this helps.

Listers,

FYI, the so called circular depressions on the head, i.e., the four little
indents around the phillips head slots are there to denote that the screw is
a Unified fastener, 10/32 in this case, versus a British fastener which
would have been 2BA.  They are very close but not interchangeable.

So while you can find the correct fasteners at your local hardware store,
don't expect to find then with these markings on the head.  Unified British
fasteners were marked during the 1950's to distinguish them from the older
British thread forms that were being phased out, e.g., Whitworth (BSF, BSW,
etc.) and British Association (BA).

On British bolt heads there was an actual circular depression on the heads
of Unified (UNF, UNC) fasteners.  Nuts and studs were also marked to denote
the difference.

Cheers,

Curt

Good to know, thank you Ken!

I ordered .027 and .030 in 12"x39" sheets from RotoMetals.

Mix and match. I will use the leftovers for zinc plating.

LA freeways turned into parking lots.  Nobody here knows how to drive in the
rain!

http://www.sigalert.com/Map.asp?Region=Greater+Los+Angeles

Taking time
off for the next 2 weeks and hope to make some good progress on the car!
Planned: Front-suspension fix, some minor engine refurbishing (was rebuild by
PO), mate and paint engine/gearbox, finish and install rear axle, finish
rebuild of switches, brake/fuel plumbing and further assembly... picking up 48
spokers next week (for under the xmas tree ;-) )

Now that sounds like fun!

days, with winds at 50 to 75 mph and 100 at  the peaks. Hear that Don? Aren't
you a happy snow bird down in So Cal for the winter?
Driving your Healey while Im blowing snow. Not at all fair.

Has anyone on the list had success in dying the color of a boot cover? If  
so what product is best and what process is the most effective.

Hi,

I have found a good-looking engine for my BN4 to replace the younger 3000ccm
unit. The engine code is 26H though.
What can be the origin of the engine?

Well, it got up past freezing and while there is no snow in the forecast, I
decided to crank up the old snow thrower. Seeing that it needed gas, I
decided to take the Healey to the gas station with my gas can. 33 degree
wind means frozen ears but it is still fun. Probably the last chance I will
have before March. This is the latest I have had it out since I left Las
Vegas 10 years ago.

Gee, no email for a a short while and people wonder if the world
has come to an end.  Well, it did, in terms of Team.Net last week, but
luckily it didn't last long.  If you want to wait for time and all eternity
between messages, you could subscribe to some of the Team.Net lists
like the-local, or chapman-era, or maybe single-malt.  To see them all,
go to http://www.team.net/mailman/listinfo

The ones I mentioned along with some others see maybe a few messages
a year, not a few every hour.  Personally I'd like to see everyone 
subscribed
to the-local, a place to discuss whatever you'd like, car related or not.
A place to whine about overdoing Christmas, bad drivers, stupid politicians
or lame jokes or whatever.  And no one can complain about off-topic 
messages.

Oh well, I try to make useful stuff available, sometimes it works, sometimes
it doesn't.

Be careful here....Smiths made the same angle drives which turn in the

one...
If anyone needs one of those be sure to contact me!!

Ken, You don't mention what it is made of, but I'll assume that it is 
vinyl.  SEM makes a good vinyl paint/dye, but check out a place called 
Color Plus (colorplus.com).  They specialize in leather restoration 
products, but they also can be used for vinyl.  Check out the customer 
reviews and also the About Leather information.

Subject: [Healeys] 26H engine
Message-ID: <005401cb9f29$500261c0$6401a8c0@9535DEE118EC44B>

Going by the BMC Workshop Manuals:

The first six cylinders carried on using the 1C ( first series C-type engine)
number system, with an "H" denoting High Compression.

The numbering system was changed from late 1957 on, and was now three groups
separated by slashes:

In the "First Prefix Group":
- the number is the displacement, ie. 26 = 2.6 liter, or  8 = 850cc

- the first letter is the BMC make, ie. M is for Morris, G for MG, R for
Riley, V for Princess, W for Wolseley, J for Commercial and......wait for it
Gergo.......H is for "Miscellaneous Special".

'A' for Austin as a first letter is not found on Austin motors.  ( for eg. the
first  3 liter A-99 had only a '29' motor, but the similar Wolseley had a
'29W' motor.

- the second letter after the displacement (or the first one after, for
Austins) is for "variations of engine type".  Here, an 'A'  was used as a
First Variation.  For eg. the second model of 3 liter Austin, the A-110, had a
'29A' motor, and the corresponding Princess Mk II had a '29VA' motor.  The
Austin motors in the Healey 3000 had 29D,E,F and K variations.

 The "Second Prefix Group" has to do with the gearbox, R being Laycock
overdrive (O is Borg Warner), and U being side or centershift (as opposed to
column shift).

The third group is the serial number, preceded by a high (H) or low (L)
compression indicator.

........so is there anything interesting about your 26H motor ?

Message-ID: <37FBAE2EE57A42AD92E1E9F760175C0B@Notebook>

Gbday list

Yesterday we had our Queensland club Christmas lunch. We drove the BN1 based
Ward Special about 100km (60 miles) each way. A few miles from the venue, I
noticed the speedo was reading 120 miles an  hour (itbs a 140 mph speedo) We
were in fact doing about 40. On the way back, eventually the needle went off
the scale and ended up against the back side of the stop. Currently itbs
indicating a tad over 140mph, with the car sitting in the garage! I had the
speedo recalibrated when I got the car about 7 years ago, as it hadnbt been
changed to account for the carbs 3.54 diff. Since then itbs been pretty
accurate and the needle quite steady. Any ideas as to whatbs happened?

Cheers

Hi Peter,

The speedo operates by a spinning magnet generating magnetic currents in an aluminum disk which causes this disk to spin.    This disk is connected to the pointer through a shaft as well as a little spring which keeps this disk from continuing to rotate.

It sounds to me that this spring is loose or broken.  Most likely the gauge will need to be fixed at a smiths instruments repair shop.  

I used following pdf to guide me in the restoration of my speedo and tach.  Both springs were ok on my instruments and I was very careful around them.  There is a diagram at page 5 or 6.

cheers,

Hi Peter,

When driving home from a vintage car event last autumn I had a similar
experience. I reduced the speed and the speedo showed an increase and little
later went the wrong way round to 0 again.

To avoid possible damage I stopped and disconnected the speedo cable. At
home I took the speedo out of the car and with a screwdriver it moved as it
should. Then I took out the t-piece for my Halda Twinmaster, reconnected the
speedo cable directly and it did work again.

When I took out the Halda t-piece and checked it, it was full with totally
stiff grease. Kind of a miracle that this did not happen during the rally.

Cheers

Reinhart

Betreff: [Healeys] BN1 speedo

Gbday list

Yesterday we had our Queensland club Christmas lunch. We drove the BN1 based
Ward Special about 100km (60 miles) each way. A few miles from the venue, I
noticed the speedo was reading 120 miles an  hour (itbs a 140 mph speedo)
We
were in fact doing about 40. On the way back, eventually the needle went off
the scale and ended up against the back side of the stop. Currently itbs
indicating a tad over 140mph, with the car sitting in the garage! I had the
speedo recalibrated when I got the car about 7 years ago, as it hadnbt been
changed to account for the carbs 3.54 diff. Since then itbs been pretty
accurate and the needle quite steady. Any ideas as to whatbs happened?

Cheers

I've been fiddling with speedometers for several years with varying degrees of success and frustration.  While the 
return spring--which looks like something that came out of a large watch--is a possible culprit there is often no 
obvious cause for a problem.  The document by Anthony Rhodes is about the only reference available, but it doesn't cover 
all the possible failure scenarios.

Depending on how much you want to learn about this device and your confidence with things both mechanical and mystical, 
you can either send it out for repair or take a stab at it.  I would at least open up the speedo and have a look, being 
very careful to not lose any of the fiddly bits (pretend you're doing brain surgery).  Sometimes the cause is obvious--I 
had a cracked odometer gear once which caused the needle to jump at a regular interval--and sometimes (usually) it's not.

If nothing's obviously broken you can clean the insides with 'electrical circuit cleaner'--DO NOT use 'electrical parts 
cleaner', it will remove paint--and lightly lubricate the moving parts.  I prefer light silicone oil for both the guts 
of the speedo and the cable (I've tried everything from white grease to graphite to nothing for the cable).

Have a look at the cable while you're at it.  The adapter, cable, sheath and speedometer comprise a true system, and all 
have to cooperate in harmony in order to get a decent approximation of your actual velocity.

Folks,

 

I have fitted to my BN2  Vredestein 185/70 on 6" rims. Now both rear wheels
are rubbing against the bolts 

securing the rebound bumper box (on the inside of the wheel well. To cure
this, I am looking for a pair of spacers that could be fitted under the rear
wheel hubs, so the wheels are moved a bit to the outside. Any suggestions?

Perhaps grinding down the bolt heads to about three mm thick and/or 
fitting them without washers (use Locktite instead to secure) will give 
you sufficient space?
Problem with spacers is that you often have to change the wheel studs or 
bolts for longer items as well.
Universal aluminium spacers are available in many thicknesses and wheel 
bolt patterns, have a look at ebay

Try WheelAdapter.com
For my BJ8 with solid aluminium wheels, I use a spacer and flat head bolts on
the bump stop box.

Ran across this in my winter USAA  magazine.



We embodied the old military clichi of having to have the hot sports car,
she says, reminiscing about the red Jensen-Healey convertible they drove
away in after her husbands graduation from West Point in 1974. It was one
of those dream cars, but it also cost us a ton of money

The proud owners and USAA members took the snazzy car to their post in
Italy, where it spent long hours at the repair shop.

Jim, 

To paraphrase Yoda, There is no ICH, there is only 1CH. Peter carefully
explained this 1CH was for the "first" series of engine.

Sometimes the factory was known to sub other digit stamps but this was only
an occasional anomaly.

There's a number of nice Healeys, both in Phoenix and in Tucson.

Hi,

I am planning an adventure.
I have bought a 2.6 engine in the UK for my bn4 to replace the non-original
2.9 now fitted.
Instead of shipping it home and reconditioning it here, I have decided to
travell to the UK, and do the engine there.
A skilled and well recognised engine reconditioner/builder offered me to do
the engine and at the same time teach me the basics of engine machinery, if
I help him in his daily work.
Naturaly I have to supply the parts for the job.
His workshop is situated just west of London, soo I am looking for decent
engine parts supply store in the west-london area. Any suggessions?

Greetings:

Hi Gergo,
Congratulations, it seems you have found your engine. Which head do you use
now, two or six port? You also need the right carbs + inlet manifold for your
100/6.

AH Spares is about an hour`s drive from West-London. Ahead4Healeys and Denis
Welch`s are a bit further, but also reachable in less than two hours.
Cheers,

I used an engine reconditioner recently who could find almost anything 
and had a long list of contacts and found all that was needed for my 
engine very quickly. He also, because of his long background, knew what 
inferior parts to avoid. If your reconditioner has the same experience 
of our age of engines I would leave it up to him to find the spares.

On the driver's side of my BT7 is a flexible tube that is supposed to being
air into the cockpit by ram action.

Can anyone of those privileged to use their cars year round tell me what the
inside diameter of the air intake assembly (on page R43 of the parts
manual)  that the tube is connected to?

There are a number of round 12V fans available from electronic surplus
houses and if I can find the right one I  want to try to improve the air
flow when stopped.

Hi Josef,
This was by bare accident. I have found one on ebay for a very good price
(embrassingly low I mean). It is a late 2.6 block from an unknown car (maybe
A105?) with 6 port head.
The engine number is 26H - I was told here, that "H" stands for
"miscelaneous" origin :). Soo must be good for my car. Or? What do You
think?
The carbs/inlet now on the 3000 engine are not good for my application? It
looks they are not originals for this 3000 (it should have the cold start
extra carb attached, but instead this is a plain twin H6s).

Unfortunatly this engine reconditioner has not firsthand expeiences with the
C-series. I think its my share to get hold of the parts needed. Though I
would be realy gratefull for any hints what to look for and what to avoid.

Hi Gergo,
Congratulations, If you have got an engine with the 6port head plain HD6 Carbs
without the cold start extra carb should be right. For early 2port heads H4
without the cold start are right. All 100/6s had manual chokes with a pull
button under the dashboard. So if your carbs are HD6 and not as you have
written H6, you have the right carbs and you can use them with your new 100/6
engine.

Cheers,
Josef

Rich - I realize Yoda has spoken, but I am simply requesting additional wisdom
and knowledge that the learned one possesses, if he is willing to share?

I can only speak from the Longbridge BN4 engines, that I have seen and it
appears that the "I" may not have been an occasional anomaly. But then again I

Hello,
I am unclear why you are doing this?  Are wanting a concourse show car?
This seems like a great expense to downgrade your car from the better 3000
set up IMHO.
Adventure indeed!
Keep is informed as to your progress.  As for suppliers, other than those
listed. Check out John Sim wonderful site www.healey6.com.
All suppliers are as close as your post box

There is a lever inside of the rear brake drum that is part of the

Mine was silver but I may have painted it earlier in this decade.

Jack,  Many years ago I had the same idea on my BJ8 as to increase the air
flow through the left hand fresh air duct too.  I noticed that the right hand
side heater blower housing could have the motor assembled on either side of
the housing.  So I took a heater blower from a junked Healey at a wrecking
yard and reversed the assembly of the motor and housing so I could mount the
blower on the left hand inner fender in a mirror image of the right side.  I
found that the blower cage turned in the wrong direction to eject the air out
of the outlet in an efficient manner, so I opened up the motor housing and
reversed the wiring to the field windings and was able to reverse the
direction of the motor rotation too.  Then I had the problem of the hose on
the left side of the car being larger in diameter than the one on the heater
side.  I made shims out of aluminum strips and built up the diameter of the
hose conections on the blower housing and firewall connection so I could used
the same original hose.  I used a toggle switch on an accessory switch panel
to control it.  I don't remember the size of the hose or the inner diameter of
the hose connection at the firewall.  I do remember a mention of some one on
the list mounting a small fan in the inlet at the firewall to boost the air
flow and there were pictures, but can't find it in the archives.  Maybe you
can give it a try or someone on the list will remember.

Make this up, did not I .

The breakdown of chassis and engine numbers is found in most period factory
Workshop Manuals for all the various BMC models.  They all clearly state that
the "H" stands for "Miscellaneous SPECIAL".

What's the rest of the number, by the way? What does it have for gearbox info
?  If "26H" is the only thing on the plate, it would confirm that its
something out of the ordinary.  I'd be all over that motor with a fine-tooth
comb.

And Jim, Clausager refers to the "1 C" number, written like that, in a couple
of places, including the engine numbers chart on p.57.  Maybe yours is a Roman
Numeral "1", like in Spitfire Mark IX, or maybe the guy lost his punch and
used the "I".  Sheesh.

Force-fully yours
Y.

IMHO an axial-flow bilge-blower is a better way to go on the fresh air inlet vs trying to mirror the stock heater blower.

One of our Austin Healey Association (So Calif) members, George McHarris has installed one on his BN2 and it's a very clean installation.

Y - thanks for your wisdom, and Sheesh? as always.
 I actually do have the same remarks directly from Clausager about the "1" vs
the "I".

The only thing I can say is that there appears to be more Longbridge BN4 2
portheads out there with the "I" rather than the "1" on the engine plate.

but again so much for Healey trivia - jim lesher

Jack,  I took another look at the archives and used the term "duct fan" in the
search window and item number "10" came up with a link
http://www.hopkins-carter.com/catalog/Blowers.htm to a company that sells
bilge blowers as Steve Gerow suggested.  On the left column select
"Electrical Equipment" and then select from the middle of the page in the
upper row "Blowers & Fans" and they have a large selection to choose from.
Several 3 inch and 4 inch 12 volt axial and centrifugal flow blowers.  Hope
this helps.

On the driver's side of my BT7 is a flexible tube that is supposed to being
ir into the cockpit by ram action.
Can anyone of those privileged to use their cars year round tell me what the
nside diameter of the air intake assembly (on page R43 of the parts
anual)  that the tube is connected to?
There are a number of round 12V fans available from electronic surplus
ouses and if I can find the right one I  want to try to improve the air
low when stopped.

Hi Peter,

I promisse, that I will look at the engine very close. The numbers are not
in my mind now, but there is definiatly a serial after the engine code.

Hello Ira,

Being honest I have also lamented on this engine problem for a while before
making my decision. This is my first Healey. I hope not the last :). I am
restoring cars as a passion. I did some other BMC cars recently. I have long
realized that I find my joy in building the cars, and only enjoy them for a
short period. After this I usualy let them go, and look for another mission.

Although I am not a diehard originalist, I would like to keep/restore my
cars near to the factory spec. Or at least at a level, from where factory
originality could be reached without much efforts. Thats why I would like to
build this car with a 2.6 engine rather than using the 3000.
But at the same time I would easily accept using a 6 port head on this
engine rather than the 2 port. This is something which can be altered any
time with not much work.
And in my opinion, a 2.6 engine with a 6 port head is not much worse than a
3000. Or?
What are the point the 3000 is better than the 2.6?

Gergo

My BN4 has an I instead of a 1... Never actually noticed until now.

I wouldn't worry too much. The housing market tanked so badly here
that there are TONS of vacant houses and just as many new houses that
have never been occupied.

The local economy is so bad that even the illegals are going back
south of the border.

By all means, come to las vegas.

Similar climate, no state taxes and housing values at 40% of 2007 values
(and 25% below true market)

Never been a better time to move here (unless you need a job)

Why is a 3000 engine better than a 2.6?
First, the engines are virtually identical on the exterior. The only visible
difference is the boss on the block where the engine number plate is placed.
Only an expert can discern the difference. ( I am talking about a later 100-6
with the 6 port head).
As for the interior, everything is identical except for the 2.6 block that has
the smaller bore and the smaller pistons. Otherwise, the crankshaft, rods,
heads, valve size, and every other engine component is identical to the 3000.
Camshafts are the same with minor profile variations.
 So why use the 3000 engine?  Because the 2.6 liter engine (2639 cc) was weak
and not fun to drive and the 3000 engine (2912 cc) produced a lot more power -
almost 300 more cc's - that's a 10% increase in displacement !!!!!
That is why people put 3000 engines into 100-6s. Not the other way around.

Gergo -

I've driven both 3000's and 100/6s, also 100/6s with gallery heads.  At the
end of the day, the difference in power between all the different versions
isn't all that noticeable for every day driving.  Yes, the Mk III motor is
more powerful, but even the gallery head 100/6 has pretty good pick up... I
think if you go with the 12 port head, HD6s and a Mk III cam, it will be as
fast as your 3000 motor... and you'll get better mileage in the process.

Cheers,

Alan

I would really think this through in light of you desire to sell it at some
future date.
The 3000 engine has more BHP. If the current engine is in running condition,
you will be ahead of the game as you can do a compression check and on it.
As I said before, I had a BN4 with  3000 engine. The car was wrecked, so I
bought a 3000 body to put the engine into. Front disk brakes vs drum in the
BN4.
I think the resale value with the 3000 would be better than the 2.6, even
with the 6 port head. Others might have a different opinion.
If your 3000 engine is in need of rebuiilding, rebuild it. Its cheaper than
buying an unknown block.
There so many places that matter (show) to spend money on. if its an early
Longbridge car, it has unique soft top frame and interior features to
consider.I am restoring my car a 1960 BT7. I have updated my Carbs to HD8s
and a cable throttle to replace the stock contraption.

I feel you should build your car anyway you want, including putting a V8 in
it. I was just trying to figure out why you would spend so much money on an
inferior engine. Concourse judging would be the only reason I could see.
Again IMHO. These are fun cars to drive and work on,I have had mine for 36
years.
This list has amazing people on it with detailed information on the smallest
part.
have fun, ask question, and then do whatever the hell you want.

Just one suggestion.
Before you move to Vegas, Phoenix, or thereabout, I suggest you spend a
couple of weeks there in July and August.
I have known people who have moved there in Feb and moved back in September
after one summer in Phoenix.
Phoenix brings new meaning to the term "Burn you ass black upholstery" in
your average LBC.

Gentlemen,

There is very little difference between a stock later 100/Six engine at 117
BHP and the early 3000 engine at a stock 124 BHP. Certainly for normal road
use the noticeable difference would be very little.
Resale??? A 100/Six should be best valued as a 100/Six. 

I will never understand why more displacement, horsepower, torque, etc. is
always perceived as better, especially as these cars become more and more
collectable. Each model stood its own in its period of time, and sometimes
it's fun to try to capture that machine as it was in its moment of time and
development.
Modify....improve....faster....bigger....Why is that always thought of as
better???
Of course to each his/her own and what motivates one just doesn't apply to
the next.

I'm currently building up an early 100/Six series BN4 complete with the 2
port gallery head, 4 wheel drum brakes, etc. and having a ball researching
all the early details to get everything right.

My question to him has always been.... If the 3000 engine is good, there is
no reason short of concourse judging to switch out the engine. if it is
beyond rebuilding, then sure get an original or 3000 block if available. he
told me he wants to fix it up and sell it and wondered if the non oem engine
would hurt resale....I offered that the later engine/head/carb set up would
be worth more than the earlier set up....

What Rick says about the Phoenix Metropolitan area is true. July and
August can be oppressive if you're not used to it. In the past 10
years the growth of the city has only made it worse. Our air quality
is lower, the nightime temperatures don't drop, and the overall
humidity has increased. So please, don't move here. :)

But, Phoenix is not the state of Arizona. Our overall geography is
such that we have everything from super hot deserts, to 12,000 foot
mountains with snow year round. Were I able to move here without
having to worry about a job I'd seriously look at
Prescott/Payson/Wikenburg/Flagstaff in the north and Tucson/Casa
Grande/Sierra Vista/Bisbee/Tombstone/etc in the south.

My wife and I are actually planning to move the family down to Sierra
Vista in a couple years. It's rural but not too rural, an hour to
Tucson if we need a city or a proper airport, and with it's elevation
doesn't get much above 90 in the summer or below 50 in the winter.

And I'll admit that the Tucson British Car crowd is generally more
active than Phoenix not to mention a fun bunch to hang out with. I
often drive down from where I am (Tempe) to hang out with them.

If you do have to move to Phoenix be smart and move to the fringes of
the city. The further away from the tons of concrete and asphalt you
are the cooler it is.

But remember, you don't have to shovel sunshine. :)

mid-day sun. Every August TBCR hosts the "100 Miles at over 100 Degrees" run for  
British cars. You can run anything from a BN1 to a new MINI...just British.

We're just north of Phoenix (Carefree / Cave Creek area) and there are a lot

I sure don't miss the weather back in New England. Especially when I drove the

Nope....you guys are all wrong.

The place to be is the Coachella Valley (Palm Springs area) in California.
Small airport, easy to get around, no congestion 2 hours to everywhere.
More moderate climate.

Gentlemen,

Thanks everybody for the input.
I only sell my cars to be able to switch to the next project. Soo overall
value is not all that important. My fun needs the original 2.6 engine, soo
if only possible, I will go with that. I dont care if it means extra money.
It is  a game anyway :).

Soo if I take You right, it is possible to use my 3000 head with this block
isnt it?

Ira,
here in continental Europe we can realise its going different to your opinion.
A 100/6 is more worth with an original 2.6 engine, than with a 2.9 engine.
Also owners go back to drum brakes in the front as they give the 100/6 appeal.
The wrong 26H engine number would not bother me too much, as this is
interchangeable like a cylinder head. Its more important the engine is done by
a reputable engine rebuilder and this can be prooved by invoices. And the body
and professional paintwork is well done with even gaps at the doors and lids.
So we do not care that much about Concours features like painting engine all
over or using the old original bolts and fasteners.  Using stainless bolts or
a stainless exhaust is fully acceptable. Also many go with the Sonnenland top
material as used with modern convertibles instead of the everflex.

My question to him has always been.... If the 3000 engine is good, there is no
reason short of concourse judging to switch out the engine. if it is beyond
rebuilding, then sure get an original or 3000 block if available. he told me
he wants to fix it up and sell it and wondered if the non oem engine would
hurt resale....I offered that the later engine/head/carb set up would be worth
more than the earlier set up....

done on line  makes it really convenient.
    Have a look and see what I'm talking about.

One thing I am checking IS the yearly weather outlook for any region I am
considering.  The way it is raining here in San Bernardino, it does not look
desirable, even here in SoCal.

Just one suggestion.
Before you move to Vegas, Phoenix, or thereabout, I suggest you spend a
couple of weeks there in July and August.
I have known people who have moved there in Feb and moved back in September
after one summer in Phoenix.
Phoenix brings new meaning to the term "Burn you ass black upholstery" in
your average LBC.

one of the first things you learn living here in vegas is that "only mad dogs
and englishmen go out in the noonday sun."  i always get my stuff done early
in the morning or late in the evening and hole up in my garage with the swamp
cooler going full blast in the afternoon.  i try not to take notice of those
people who have to be out and about in the hot sun so i will not have to feel
sorry for them.   hjim

After reading various postings I  realize there are two groups of people
owning healeys. One group are what I call "Car guys" guys who love cars and
what they can do , The second group are historians who are interested in
Healeys as a collectible antique.  collectibles are kept in museums. Car guys
want to drive  cars on today's highways with car's with today's technology.
Cars today respond quickly, stop quickly and owners of these cars  expect
other cars on the road to also be able to respond in the same manner. Keeping
a car completely original has its place but perhaps not on  today's road.
Modifying a desirable car doesn't hurt the value of a car if the modifications
are done well. There is a very large market of people who enjoy a sports car
as a car that performs and handles well on the highway.Many of you may
remember the slogan from the 60's
"Win on Sunday, sell on Monday!" ts always about the performance.

Happy Healeying,   Marty  www.jule-enterprises.com

Gentlemen,

There is very little difference between a stock later 100/Six engine at 117
BHP and the early 3000 engine at a stock 124 BHP. Certainly for normal road
use the noticeable difference would be very little.
Resale??? A 100/Six should be best valued as a 100/Six.

I will never understand why more displacement, horsepower, torque, etc. is
always perceived as better, especially as these cars become more and more
collectable. Each model stood its own in its period of time, and sometimes
it's fun to try to capture that machine as it was in its moment of time and
development.
Modify....improve....faster....bigger....Why is that always thought of as
better???
Of course to each his/her own and what motivates one just doesn't apply to
the next.

I'm currently building up an early 100/Six series BN4 complete with the 2
port gallery head, 4 wheel drum brakes, etc. and having a ball researching
all the early details to get everything right.

Rich

One of the things I like about all Big Healeys is that they can keep
up with modern traffic.  We're not talking about MG TCs, which I like
but wouldn't want to drive on a Southern California freeway except in
convoy.  No stock Healey is going to win a drag race; that is not the
point.

So perhaps there are more than two groups of Healey people.  They
range from Nasty Boy people through serious competitive racers, guys
who just like to play with their Healey's engine, drivers and enjoyers
of stock Healeys in club activities, to those possessed by 'hanger
queens'.  Then there are busted knuckle and greasy fingered people
like me who just want to get their cars on the road some day.

I'd get a Miata or a hot Mustang if modern car performance was my
objective.

This is a trite oversimplification at best and pure bullshit at worst.

I own a 'new technology' car (2008 Bullitt with 315HP) and a nearly bone-stock BJ8, and I drive the hell out of both of 
them.   I've got over 100K miles on the BJ8 all over the western US, Canada and Mexico including 115degF in a sand storm 
in Death Valley, snow-covered passes and mile after mile of deserted Nevada desert.   I never have any trouble holding 
my own with 'new technology' in the Healey--what it lacks in 'technology' can easily be compensated for with 
attentiveness, guile and plain driving skill and training.

Most 'owners of these <newer technology> cars' don't have a clue about automotive technology--it's an appliance to them.

On the back of the rear drum backing plates a lever sticks out that

Is the lever zinc plated or painted; perhaps silver?

I would agree.  Austin Healeys can be safely driven in todays traffic.  It's a
feature that means a lot to me.

It's also a feature that bodes well for the future of Austin Healey.

Beyond that I'm in a group it is that finds itself fascinated with writings of
those able to highlight the rough and fine points of the margue.  Spending
time there elevates my appreciation all things Austin Healey - beginning to
end.  Thank you so much.

Any bushings I've bought over the last few years have been solid, not split.
I suppose a split bushing could be installed over the rod and into the
eyelet without any dismantling of the rod assembly, but I fit the new solid
bushing as things are going together and have never found the need to
replace one unless a total restoration is under way. The originals seem to
last almost forever unless they've been torched or covered in paint.

Martin,

Your statements show that you know little if nothing about Austin Healey
Concours as it is currently organized and setup.  We go out of our way to
encourage Austin Healeys to be driven, more so than any other marque
specific Concours group currently in existence.

In fact, our cars restored to original condition are more than capable of
handling modern roads and driving conditions, with the only limitation being
an individual owners reluctance to drive them as such.  This is one reason
we allow radial tires on all Austin Healeys with a full five point credit
for a car being driven 500 miles in the 6 months prior to be judged.  There
is also no deduction for using an aluminum head on a 100 since they are
virtually indistinguishable from the original externally but internally they
vastly enhance performance and reliability.  Just two examples , but there
are many more.

I personally take exception to you classifying me as NOT being a car guy as
you state, just because I promote and encourage our cars to be restored as
original and to be driven.  Or possibly it is you who has the issue with
Austin Healey Concours since our guidelines have a standard 50 point
deduction for replacement...* "Frames that can be visually determined to
differ from what was "correct" when the car was new."*

BTW, Kilmartin frames receive no such deduction.

Cheers,

Message-ID: <AANLkTinUe=u81M=gFNtsGFF6o7oxmrffhWMeMMB+TPRe@mail.gmail.com>

Listers,

Recently had a new top installed on a BJ8, Now, when the windows are rolled
up and the door is swung closed, the rear of the glass overlaps the top
canvas by about 1'. The window line is perfect with the windscreen
post/frame. So there's no way to move the window forward. But I can't see
any way to move the topbows rearward. What adjustments can be made to the
top bows.
Is there any web site with instructions for adjusting. Or does anyone have
any insight as to how to correct this lousy fit?
Thanks in advance,
Bob

As I look back on my life of almost 81 years I can only thank all of the
Healey Enthusiasts, the world over, who have helped me enjoy 60 years of
owning several of these wonderful cars. Until recent years I have not had to
endure the prominence of some who In spite of their commanding presence and
responsibility for the lives of many in their occupation seem, in contrast, to
carry their emotion upon their sleeves.  Perhaps it is the state of our times
that is promoting this behavior or perhaps it is the mistaken view that their
prominence carries over into their private lives.  What ever it is I hope that
they will find time to adjust their emotional responses to compliment their
presence and responsibility.

Bob,

Its not the car or the bows, its the incorrect tailoring of the top itself.

My fix was to unpick and open up the long diagonal seam on each rear quarter
panel, and take out a long, thin triangle of top material.  It tapered  from
about 1  1/2 " at the bottom to a sharp point at the top of the seam where the
curve to the horizontal begins.  Test fit and mark with chalk first before
cutting, and don't forget to leave a seam allowance.

Dismantle the whole top from the bows and rear channel in order to fit it into
the sewing machine and resew to the chalk marks.  Seal seam with VLP Vinyl
Repair on the inside.  Refit top.  Steam out stretch marks.

An imperfect solution, as the whole rear quarter shape becomes a little bit
distorted, and a real pain to have to do in the first place.

      You are way off base about Martin.  He knows Austin Healeys and all about concours.  He believes in keeping Healeys on the road and has made it his life's endeavor.

Subject: [Healeys] Robbins tops and such
Message-ID: <16E10AA82E01422DB7407D06CFA7F0DD@charleygmd4th1>

    Since there are a few current 'threads' about the subject, I will recount
my, fairly recent, experience.

    Again, in my experience, Robbins' tops and tonneaus are actually 'built'
at a job shop (or other job shops) and then shipped direct to the purchaser.
The directions included can be confusing, and might be incomplete.
Communicating (e-mail and telephone) with Robbins is much less than
satisfactory and with the job shop, impossible.

    Bottom line, Robbins customers are strongly urged (by Robbins) to have any
Robbins product installed by a "professional, certified Robbins" shop. Any
(ANY) problems are, and will be, the fault of the customer if attempts are
made to install the items yourselves.

    The tops and/or tonneaus shipped may, or may not, be the correct one for
your car. They may be assembled incorrectly;  if so, that will also be 'your
fault'.

    Ultimately, the 'certified professional' I used said that Robbins products
and service have degraded quite a bit in the past few years.

    I have installed non-Robbins tops and tonneaus in the past with nothing
more than the usual inconveniences.

    Grain of salt, fire suit on, etc, etc.

                                                                        CB

Where might one find pictures of water jackets on a 100/4 bn1? Can you get to them with the head off?

The best access to the water jacket is first through the water pump
hole then through the core plug holes...

All -

A recent post was about an ill fitting top.   It should be said that you
need the correct springs for a BJ7 to hold the top in place:

Twas The Night Before a Healey Christmas


Twas the night before Christmas, and I was certain
not a Healey was stirring, even with side curtains.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
in hopes that new parts soon would be there.

The Healeys are nestled all snug in the shed,
While owners dream of summer days ahead.
Some up on blocks, some in car covers,
some donating parts for the benefit of others.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew in a flash,
tore open the shutter, and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
was hidden by the dust from the objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but eight tiny Sprites and a 3000 this year!

With the driver enveloped in smoke so thick
I could barely tell it was old Saint Nick.
Chugging and popping, his coursers they came,
and he whistled and shouted and called them by name:

On Bugeyes, On Sprites, that I keep fixin,
or next year its back to Comet and Vixen!
Hmm, Healeys or Reindeer, he thought while stopping,
they both have merits, and they both have droppings.

As quick as a Healeys water will boil,
As fast the crankcase will drain of oil,
Up to the housetops the little Sprites flew,
the 3000 shedding parts, as they all will do.

And then in a twinkle, I heard on the spire
the squealing and slipping of each little tire.
I knew as I heard their Yuletide jingles,
I was going to have some well oiled shingles!

He was dressed all in fur, from toe to ear,
a bad choice in a Healey, even this time of year!
Sweating profusely, he jumped from his ride
and down the chimney with gifts at his side.

His eyes how they twinkled, still teary from smoke.
His face regained color, as he thought with a joke,
the Healeys are fun but look at my clothes,
what once was red, is now black rose!

And where is my trademark round little belly
that shook when I laughed like a bowl full of jelly?
Always there proudly as I made the rounds,
One night in a Healey and Ive lost forty pounds!

Less chubby and plump, but still a jolly old elf
I laughed when I saw him; I drive a Healey myself.
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head
soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but Healey parts he did toss
from Welch, Cape, Hemphill, and Moss.
All the stockings were filled and he turned to reflect,
I sure hope I got those part numbers correct!

Up the chimney he rose, ready to depart,
he said the Healey prayer: Lord please let them start.
I was amazed when they started on the first try,
and like the down of a thistle away they did fly.
But I heard him exclaim ere he drove out of sight,

Healey Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Mele Kalikimaka from the land where palm trees sway....where is my ukulele
when I need it!  This will be our last Christmas in Hawaii as we will be
relocating to Pennsylvania in April of next year. Trading one long warm season
for four but retirement will allow a lot more Healey hours in the new workshop
being constructed. I hope it will be big enough this time.
Nearly 40 years in the sun yet looking forward to the next adventure.
Wishing that your Christmas was joyous and all the best for the new year.

I just realized that for my 4 year old boy I only ever buy 1:43 scale
classic cars for his toys.  He knows what a DKW Monza and Ferrari GTO
is, but he has no clue what a Mercedes or Honda is.  I am worried he
will grow up with arcane and useless vehicular recognition skills.
You think he will be warped?

Kinda like me relocating from Las Vegas to New Jersey years ago although our
last Christmas in Last Vegas we got two inches of snow. Melted within the
hour but we did have snow on Christmas day! Instead of driving the Healey
every day of the year, there are several months where you will have great
anticipation of putting it back on the road in the meanwhile having it up on
stands doing much needed maintenance. Great Healey clubs here. Let me know
where you finally land.

Nothing wrong with a classical education.

Your son is at risk of a seriously deprived education.  You need to add a few models of P51s, P38s, F4Us,  (Supermarine) 
Spitfires and a DeHavilland Mosquito.  What the heck, throw in a an FW190 and a Zero.

My main concern was why he doesn't know what a Mercedes is if you are 
focusing on classic cars, no exposure to SSKs, Gullwings, etc.?, I am truly 
appalled and concerned about his future development.

Well it took me a solid week to load a 40 foot container with the garage
stuff. That was after about a month of sorting and boxing stuff. Scrapped a
bunch of extras like 20 drive shafts, still have seven, and 4 tons of other
stuff. The Jag MK2 and the 65 AH MK3 projects were loaded via slide back flat
bed truck, then built a deck over them. The extra shrouds and body panels were
followed by hundreds of boxes. Engine blocks, heads and transmissions were a
fun part of the load. As I neared the rear doors the equipment, tools etc and
a couple tons of unboxed stuff littered the can floor. In the end I tossed
(literally) the 100 shock cores and about a 150 brake shoe cores into a mound
that will greet me when I open the doors in PA in mid January. Our competed
BN2 will go in the next container with household stuff in late March.  The
wifes car will be shipped separately to Seattle were we will begin our three
week drive across country in April. Let the adventure begin.....well pretty
soon. And to all a good night!
Aloha

How many container-loads of cars and parts are you shipping over?

The problem is if you drive a Mercedes in Hong Kong, that suggests you
come from one building short of public housing.  The only sign of
respect is is you drive a Maybach, Zonda or Rolls Royce in this town.
A Bentley or Aston is just minimally acceptable for the country club.

Pennsylvania is a State in which its two major cities, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, are separated by Alabama. In which of these three places are you relocating?

  Best wishes on your big move.  I'm not so sure of the wisdom of trading the
warm palm lined beaches of the islands for the forbidding rock bound shores of
the North East though, but I imagine there is a plan.

Hi Perry-
We hope this move goes as planned without any problems. 
The deck must be very strongly built in order to support all that weight  
above your 2 project cars. Hopefully they will not be flattened in  transit.

Thanks Marion.  We will be closer top Florida and will be traveling there more
often to see family and maybe you. Well if the deck fails I'll have a bit more
hammer work to do.  Maybe I can build modified lowriders out of the remains!

Joe,
I know that your comment was tongue-in-check, but made me wonder.  
Pennsylvania means Penn's Woods as the state was chartered to William 
Penn by the King of England early in our country's history.  I'm not 
sure what Transylvania means.
It is a state of around 45,000 square miles with a good sized population 
anchored at the east and west by the largest cities, Philadelphia and 
Pittsburgh.  In between the two large cities are a bunch of smaller 
cities and towns including the capital, Harrisburg, which is situated on 
the Susquehanna River which runs from upstate New York to the Chesapeake 
Bay.  So we are no strangers to places with weird names.  In Lancaster 
County we have the towns named Intercourse and Bird in Hand along with a 
bunch of Amish folk and covered bridges.  The topography is rolling 
hills to small mountains with the Pocono and Appalachian mountain ranges 
running through the state.
Out in the western part of the state is Pittsburgh which is at the 
intersection of the Allegheny and Monogahela Rivers where they form the 
Ohio River.
There is much that had to do with the history of our country here with 
the Declaration of Independence being signed in Philadelphia in 1776.  
Our first constitution, The Articles of Confederation were signed in 
York in 1779, using the term United States of America for the first time 
in an official document.  Here in York, we feel that that makes us the 
first capital of the United States, though many from the bigger cities 
disagree.  There are some Revolutionary War forts preserved across the 
state and other places like Gettysburg that became famous because of the 
Civil War.
Climate wise we enjoy four definite seasons, though winter is one that I 
enjoy less each year.
Charlie

Charlie and Joe,

Transylvania means "on the other side of the wood" and is at the same time a
region in Romania in Eastern Europe where the vampires are said to come
from. It got famous with Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.

I'm working on the boot lid from my BN1. I have two alloy lids and neither has
a stay bracket. I've looked at the Anderson-Moment book and I can see what the
bracket and its attachment to the frame looks like for the steel lid, but the
structure of the frame for the alloy lids I have are not the same. There is no
reinforcement attached to the frame. Does anyone have an alloy lid with the
stay bracket attached and can I get a picture for reference?
Thanks.

Hi Bill, 

No problem How about these pictures. It is a rectangular box like steel
bracket with an ear on one side that is secured to the left edge of the
alloy boot lid with 3 countersunk screws with washers and nuts. Many have
disappeared over the years due to the edge of the boot lid skin being
stressed around these screw holes and eventually cracking the area.

Subject: [Healeys] Boot lid bracket

I'm working on the boot lid from my BN1. I have two alloy lids and neither
has
a stay bracket. I've looked at the Anderson-Moment book and I can see what
the
bracket and its attachment to the frame looks like for the steel lid, but
the
structure of the frame for the alloy lids I have are not the same. There is
no
reinforcement attached to the frame. Does anyone have an alloy lid with the
stay bracket attached and can I get a picture for reference?
Thanks.

G'day Joe

I am here and suffering the after effects of an excessive Christmas.

Now that we know that Perry is moving to Pennsylvania it gives us another
place to stay when we are in that part of the world.

BTW Does anyone know how to dismantle Healey front suspension?

I am talking about real Healey, not the Austin derived types.

Message-ID: <629576.11517.qm@web83813.mail.sp1.yahoo.com>

I'm in the process of rebuilding the front suspension of my BJ7, and I would
like to know if anyone has any recommendations for high temp caliper/disk
paint that will hold up?
 
On a side note, I was surprised to find that the lower trunnion's fulcrum pin
is designed so that the threads (3/4-12) act as the bearing surface as the
lower links rotate, and that the cork washers compress and expand with each
bump in the road.  Not what I expected, though it seems to work just fine.
 
Last, I am wondering why there is a blind hole drilled into the back side of
the swivel axel, and what is the purpose of the two through holes on either
side of it.

The two through holes are to drift the bearing off the stub axle with a
small round shank drift punch.

What do you mean when you say you want hi temp caliper/disc paint that will
hold up? Hold up to what? Days, weeks, or months? Are you racing?
Unless you are "really" racing, you will never have a heat issue or problem
with rotors or calipers, even with the early Girling type 14 calipers and the
thin rotors.

We are looking forward to seeing a lot of the Healey folks both from the list

welcome to visit when in the area. Just found out there is a guy with a BJ8
and a Fiberfab Jamacian on Healey chassis that lives just a few miles from our
new abode. There's a couple Healeys in the Pittsburgh area and hope to find
others. We also hope to attend more events then we have squeezed in during the

Hi Bill,
Rich was faster than me. He has excellent pictures how it should look like.
Think you have got the pictures from him. My BN1 was one of the latest with
the aluminium boot lid built in May 1954.
I can fully confirm what Rich wrote with the exception on mine the box like
steel bracket has got only 2 countersunk screws to be fixed to the boot lid.
Where the box faces the boot lid there is also a felt padding between the box
and the boot lid skin to avoid damage. Its a very rigid design and you really
need to be careful when opening and closing the boot lid.
If you need more pictures also from my car, just tell me.

Perry --

"... a couple Healeys in the Pittsburgh area..."   -- you've finally given 
us a hint as to what part of the state you're settling in!  We've got some 
great Healey roads here; if you decide to take a scenic trip eastbound on US 
Route 6, all of us in the British Car Club of Northeast Pa. will be glad to 
welcome you (especially if you pick the weekend of our annual show).

Just prepare yourself (mentally & physically) for the climate change -- by 
Thursday it's supposed to be above freezing here for the first time in 3 
weeks....  (Pittsburgh's been just a bit warmer.)

hello all,



i was reading an article that talked about excessive wind noise after a
luggage rack was installed (not on an AH).

the solution to the problem was to fill the rack with sand, which stopped the
tubes from resonating/vibrating,,,,,



i've never heard of this!B  is this something everyone else in the free world
already knows about?

Sorry Sarah, there has been a lot of off-list responses that I guess I never
made it clear to the list (didn't really think that most of the list would
care) where we will be setting up shop. We will be just outside the small town
of Beaver Falls which is about 30 miles north west of Pittsburgh.  Fairly
close to the Ohio/PA border.  Also just a few miles from BeaveRun race track
where the first weekend of the races connected with the Pittsburgh Historic
Grand Prix are held.
Family and friends will mean occasional trips to the northeast corner of PA.
Hope to see the Healey folks in that area too!
Aloha
Perry

Perry --

"... a couple Healeys in the Pittsburgh area..." -- you've finally given us a
hint as to what part of the state you're settling in! We've got some great
Healey roads here; if you decide to take a scenic trip eastbound on US Route
6, all of us in the British Car Club of Northeast Pa. will be glad to welcome
you (especially if you pick the weekend of our annual show).

Just prepare yourself (mentally & physically) for the climate change -- by
Thursday it's supposed to be above freezing here for the first time in 3
weeks.... (Pittsburgh's been just a bit warmer.)

Ray, every object has a natural frequency of vibration.  If an external
force (the wind, car vibrations, etc.) excites the object at its natural
frequency, the vibration amplitudes are increased.  Changing the mass or
stiffness of the object will change the natural vibration frequency, so
adding sand to the luggage rack to change its mass and frequency response
makes sense to me.

Perry,
You will love the driving. I especially like US 62 from Oil City,
running between the Allegheny National Forest and the Allegheny River,
Done it twice in the Healey.

Four Hoosiers attended the AHSTC event this year near Philly which had a
tour of the Simeone Foundation Museum, narrated by Dr Simeone, a
wonderful place. AHSTC's event was great and we expect to attend this
year in Lancaster.

Common practice, but messy. Do not use it on a chromed or aluminium 
luggage rack, only on SS because of corrosion as the sand will hold 
water that will ingress and will rot out the rack. Use lead shot if 
weight is not a problem or pour hot bitumen mixed with sand in the tubes.

Western PA is certainly a hotbed of NFL quarterbacks and linebackers.  A 
couple more quarterbacks that come to mind are Dan Marino, who grew up 
on Oakland Ave. in Pittsburgh (very close to the site of the Pittsburgh 
Vintage Grand Prix and British Car Day in Schenley Park) and also George 
Blanda  from Youngwood between New Stanton and Greensburg, a bit east of 
Pittsburgh.
See, I did manage to get some LBC content in there:-)

Encounter is in Paradise (PA) this year at the Revere Tavern, where the 
club will be taking over the entire hotel.  I've always wanted to go 
into the tavern building, a really neat old c.1700's building right on 
US Rte 30 east of Lancaster.

Prettiest setting for a race track anywhere. Now I have a good reason for 
making it back to PA for the PVGP week this year, which is a big deal not 
only for vintage racing folks in general, but for the Mercedes-Benz club as 
well. The local club sponsors "StarTrack" which always includes two track days 
at BeaveRun, as well as a concours during the Saturday of PVGP, on a field 
overlooking the first turn coming out of the woods at the top of the track.
What a great place to have an Austin-Healey shop.

Ah, George Blanda. He could do it all. Quarterback and punter. Played, I
believe, until he was 45. Would probably have played another year if he
had worked out over the off season. Good Pennsylvania stock!!

Have been suffering from soft pedal since a full brake system re-do over
the summer.  Replaced servo, master calipers.  Rears were good.

Am trying to bleed now, and am getting no pedal with the vaccum at the
servo discharged, and am getting a steady stream of bubbles from the
driver side bleeder.  No air came out of any of the others.

Have wrapped bleed screw with teflon to try to eliminate air from
getting in around the threads.

Pedal gets firm when engine is running.

I don't have a bleeder system/mitevac/pressurization thing.

Any suggestions?

Message-ID: <C475AA2E-D66F-44A7-964A-EAC7D5A52379@comcast.net>

Listers,

Happy New Year!
In the last year or two my rear shocks have taken to loosening at the  
mounting bolts.  The result is a heavy thud on encountering certain  
road conditions.  Tightening up the four bolts mounting the two shocks  
and all is well until they loosen again.  I have decided to replace  
the original mounting hardware with Grade 8 bolts, lock washers and  
Nyloc nuts.  Is there a recommended torque to be used on these bolts  
and nuts?  While I am pursuing this chore I am also going to replace  
the shock links on both sides.  The original links are losing their  
bushings.  I ask the same question regarding the torque settings for  
the two threaded link ends on each link and the nuts involved in this  
assembly.  And, before anybody mentions it, I will check the bolt  
holes for egg-shaped damage.  Thanks

G'day Mark

It's one of those things that you learn from experience.

Bloody tight for the shock mountings and not so bloody tight for the links.

That's what mine are and they haven't budged for 25 years unless I wanted
them undone.

G'day Mike

What is the Rose Bowl and who are the Badgers?

We have a couple of rose bowls, but thankfully no badgers. However did see
Bob Hoskins play Badger in a recent rendition of Wind in the Willows.

If you keep up with this parochial stuff I will be forced to mention the
test cricket. Surely the only game where they can play for 5 days and there
still be no winner. The alternative here on New Year's day is to go to the
beach.

Charlie,

George Blanda??  Really ???  How about Johnny Unitas another Pittsburgh boy
from fine Lithuanian stock  (I think MGB and I are the only two on the list
that can make that claim) Mom was born in Etna Mine III outside of Pitt before
her father moved the family to Minersville to work the coal mines there.   And
yeah, Beaver Run is a beautiful track, although too much throttle in the
uphill curve prior to the straight will cause a Viper to loop rather
spectacularly ... ask me how I know!

Western PA is certainly a hotbed of NFL quarterbacks and linebackers.  A
couple more quarterbacks that come to mind are Dan Marino, who grew up
on Oakland Ave. in Pittsburgh (very close to the site of the Pittsburgh
Vintage Grand Prix and British Car Day in Schenley Park) and also George
Blanda  from Youngwood between New Stanton and Greensburg, a bit east of
Pittsburgh.

I use Grade 8 flatwashers under the heads of the bolts, and lockwashers and blue Locktite on/under the nuts. 

I believe if you put lockwashers under the heads of the bolts they dig into the soft metal of the shock bodies and eventually lose tension. The Grade 8 flatwasher spreads the bolt tension so you have greater clamping surface hence greater overall clamping force. 

I've done this for years on the front shocks--no nuts or lockwashers, of course, just Locktite--and never had to tighten them. Ditto on the rears, except for one time I didn't use lockwashers on the backside and the bolts eventually loosened.

Patrick,

If it makes you feel better, we have a Fiesta Bowl here in Arizona,
but that pales in comparison to the fact that "Santa" managed to
acquire for me not only a fresh jar of Vegemite but also 6 small

A jar of Vegemite! Food of the gods!

Had some this morning on my toast followed by marmalade.

Twiglets are Pommie. Let me know and I'll send you some Twisties.

Best wishes

Patrick,

If it makes you feel better, we have a Fiesta Bowl here in Arizona,
but that pales in comparison to the fact that "Santa" managed to
acquire for me not only a fresh jar of Vegemite but also 6 small
packages of Twiglets!

Message-ID: <AANLkTikD+gy89WQNmvooPgmMZ+g40qf0LOWTfz_cnMkd@mail.gmail.com>

Can anybody tell me if the Moss BJ7/BJ8 upholstery video includes how to
install the hardware on the inside of the door panels? If it does,  I think
I'll go ahead and buy it even though everything else is done on my car
except for the convertible top. Alternatively, anybody know of another
source of information for installing them.  I'm reluctant to cut holes in
the panels and forge ahead without having a better idea how the door opening
handle and window winder are going to attach and fit on the panel.
Cheers,

I would have to agree,  Martin knows our cars.  It seems your argument is
about his frame.   I look at his frame as no different than radial tires.  A
better choice is available now with a sturdier frame that will last for 50
years.  Why not use it?

Each of us must choose what to do on their car.  I myself added extras to
the car so I would be more willing to drive it.  My car that was "finished"
last summer year has 1500 miles on it and it will get more!   It still looks
original from the outside, but I have added things under the hood and in the
electrical.   If you are going to add a spin on oil filter, why not a new
frame?

Curt,

      You are way off base about Martin.  He knows Austin Healeys and all
about concours.  He believes in keeping Healeys on the road and has made it
his life's endeavor.

  We all have our opinion what is ok to do with our cars and what is not,
but isn't that the car culture as a whole?

Hi Perry,

 All the best on your new move. I know this area well. I'm originally from
Rochester PA, and purchased my Healey in New Brighton(in between Rochester and
Beaver Falls)from Boffo Motors, who by the way are still in business servicing
British cars and selling Jaguars and other cars! Most of my family still lives
in this area. I visit often since I'm not far away in Boardman,
Ohio(Youngstown).  Give me a holler, I'm in the book, if I may be of
assistance.

Hello,

I am trying to figure out the best way to pull out the MANY dents on the underside of my frame. I have tried an Eastwood stud gun (does not work, studs pull off)  I measured my frame using the factory specs.....it is within 1/16 inch or so on all measurements.  But I have a couple major hits  ,many smaller dents and the usual dents in the front and rear cross members from improper use of a jack.   Any ideas ,do's and don'ts, methods,etc.  would be greatly appreciated. The PO must have hit every rock,curb,parking block in his way......the frame has no rust issues and appears in great shape (other than all the dents)
Thanks

Mitch,
The worst dents in the main frame rails you will get out by welding a small
bracket with a hole to hook in a very large dent puller to the welding seam
where the dent is. Then give it a couple of knocks with the puller. When you
are happy with the area you did, cut off the bracket. It may take you a day to
get all the mayor dents out. Same you can do with the smaller dents and a
smaller puller. For the very small imperfections I put some lead on. Its time
consuming, but it worked for me and my frame is now absolutely dent free
(better than new) and ready for Concours judging.

Although originally from Oklahoma, he was a stand out athlete at the 
Carlisle, PA school for American Indians and did have a long career in 
professional football and baseball.  There is a town in PA named Jim 
Thorpe, not really anywhere near Carlisle.  He was thought by many to be 
the greatest American athlete of the 20th century.  He died in 1953.
For some info on the town, go here:

Interesting indeed.  Looks like somebody is scooping up rough cars to resell in Europe (at a nice premium, I'm sure).

I'm surprised Kurt Tanner hasn't grabbed these.

Sometimes drilling a 1/2"hole opposite the dent will allow you to knock 
out the dent with a drift, after which the hole can be welded shut again.

Cute.... But the European style for currency numbers is to use a period
where we use a comma.... So the price is a bit over 14 thousand
Euros...(nice try)

You're kidding, ED IS A LURKER!

He must then be tied up and gagged in front of the computer only able to
read and not able to type or respond ;-)

PS Ed if you're there, don't worry  we'll send a rescue party.  It may just
take a while.

Fellow Listers,

When my good friend Gordon Brockman did his 100 years ago he carefully cut
out the dented sections of the main frame rails, then made a special plate
so the the welding seam in the center was not crushed when he used his 400
ton industrial hydraulic press flatten the dented piece.  He then welded the
straightened piece back in place and carefully ground down and finished the
weld.  They looked perfect.

But that's Gordon.

I re-wrapped the fields.  When I jump the F and D term and connect it to a 12v
source it does run as a motor.  When I jump the F and D term when in the car
it doesn't even light a test light.  It should light the light and even blow
the bulb when the RPM raises.  Maybe one volt on a volt meter?  Any thoughts
of why this would be?
Thanks, Shawn

Paraphrasing , but a difference between a frame change and adding ie radial
tires or spin-on filters and the like, is of course reversible vs not
reversible.

To save a car in need of a frame I'm glad they're available.

I would have to agree,  Martin knows our cars.

If you are going to add a spin on oil filter, why not a new

It can jump all over the place, especially CA cars.

My BJ8, #28576, built Sept. '64, is registered as a '66 because it never sold
until Jan. '66. Therefore, it was registered as a '66 in CA.

32600 was built in August or September 1965.   The title and/or registration
"year" of a BJ8 is essentially meaningless since, as Randy says, those
numbers are all over the place.   If 32600 was typical, then it was sold
originally as a '66.  After 45 years, it could be anything.  Seems like most
of the cars for sale are advertised as 67's, since many people think that is
the most desirable "year", and once they got the double indicator lights the
cars are pretty much identical from one year to the next anyway.
The only valid question is, what is the build date of a car?

If I may take Dick Matson's statement just a bit further....

To save a car in need of a frame I'm glad strong, accurate and correct
frames are now available. As with any replacement part needed during a
restoration, there are products that will certainly do the job but are
visibly very different than the original part. One wonders how these
products will affect the collectability of a classic car over time,
especially when they are irreversible.
Then there are parts that are visually undetectable from the original and
have at the same time been improved and engineered to do the job better than
the original. I choose the latter whenever possible because I want the
accuracy, function and fit so I can build a car that I can drive anywhere
and at any time, once finished.
We are merely custodians of these cars for a period of time. What we do to
them can seal their fate for the future generations of enthusiasts.

Rich

Jonas -

You definitely don't want to use teflon tape on your brake system, it
can be a safety risk.  You should have proper seal at the unions.

Two questions:

1). Did you replace the brake lines?

2) Can you walk us through step by step how you are working the pedal
and bleed nipple when bleeding?

Thanks,

Alan

By all indications, we got it today.

If you are still using the older style rubber flex lines you can clamp
them off with vice grips one by one until you find whether it is the
front left, front right or rear that is giving you the soft pedal,
then you can go from there.

I want to thank all of those who responded to my question and I need to ask
one more favor. Could someone give me some measurements? It looks like I'll
need to fabricate a bracket. Also, what gauge is the metal?
Thanks again.

I spoke with Mike earlier this month and he's turning the project over to his

I am not sure
 why the conversation has
 turned to our chassis but since it
has I would like to clarify a few things. A Jule chassis does not replicate
the original chassis in that we do not have the seam and we use a much
stronger material. We do not replicate the original on purpose. The original
chassis was manufactured using technology no longer used today. The American
Institute of steel construction found in  1961 that the material had to be a
minimum of .085 to prevent buckling. the original is approximately .072 .We
are a company focusing resolution not replication. We have done testing on our
product versus the original . Test results show we have a stronger product.The
results can be found on our website in the article by David Seib. I do not
know of other products that have done any testing.  Cars will maintain their
value if they have
 quality work done to them. We provide a quality product
with a guarantee. I am not aware of another replacement chassis that does
this. The Jule chassis is a performance product. It is not accepted as an
acceptable performance product by the Concours committee but it is accepted by
car guys, engineers, mechanics, pilots and others who understand the
importance of having a sound
 foundation for car to perform to its maximum
ability.

All -

Just curious, how do you all restore the black finish found on many of the
British car tools.  It's quite similar to gun blue, but it's a little
different.  Would love to hear your thoughts.

I do not understand all the fuss. If you have a AH with a rotten chassis 
you have two options, may be three:

-Repairing the chassis to its original *optical* condition which will 
mean a difficult and lengthy process with success not guaranteed, 
introducing many possible stress areas and deformations because of the 
cutting and welding and it will never regain its original strength but 
it might be to concours standards.

-Getting an original spec replacement chassis, if that is a possibility.

-Getting a new chassis that has been improved upon like the Jules 
chassis (there are other suppliers as well I believe) which will also 
save the body work by reducing flex, and thus stress cracks in various 
panels. (Get it dip galvanized inside and outside before starting to 
build up the car)

If you want to fully enjoy driving the car and do not care for concours, 
the latter is the option to go for at anytime.

If you want a concours car well good luck on the road ahead cutting and 
welding and hope for the best but technically it is the wrong option.

I have a similar situation. The chassis on my old Landrover is shot. In 
the past I have had it repaired by fitting a new rear section and 
outriggers, however the front is now crumbling and the welding and parts 
costs is way more expensive than replacing the full chassis, in my case 
with a fully dip galvanized one inside and outside), which will never 
give me any bother concerning rust for the rest of my and my children's 
life if they want to keep the beast. My new chassis is not build to 
original spec as it has several improvements on the original like 
thicker gauge, various extra reinforcements, a bolted on cross member 
under the transmission (military spec) to aid replacing the gearbox if 
needed and is far better welded and put together than the original.

I think these tools are phosphated. A process to prevent corrosion and 
give some extra grip. I am not sure what the process involves but 
Google/Wikipedia should turn up something.

Gergo, 

No, they were always gray to match the inner headlining colour of the
original Everflex top. Obviously someone got to your top frame before you
did sometime in the last 45 years.

Instead of making my usual knee-jerk response, I thought and slept on this and finally pinpointed what really bugs me 
about Martin's posts (besides the fact he seems to twist every thread he participates in into a not-too-subtle plug for 
his products).

It's his strong implication--yes, I've re-read his last few posts and it's there--that we're all negligent because we're 
not driving 'safe' modern cars and therefore we're putting all the diligent, informed and highly-skilled other 
drivers--the ones that are so good they can shave/apply makeup, eat a burger and talk and text while they're driving--at 
risk.  The only solution, of course, is to buy a Jule chassis and install it before driving your Healey again.

I thoroughly dispute that notion.  The risk of my BJ8's chassis cracking in two is, I suspect, significantly less than a 
Toyota--driven by a member of  the 'my car is safe because it has airbags' contingent--getting a stuck accelerator pedal 
and plowing into a squad of Girl Scouts in a crosswalk.  I don't have stats, but my risk-analysis skills--comes from 
flying airplanes as well as driving unsafe older cars--tell me so.  If my BJ8's chassis does spontaneously disintegrate 
odds are it's only me and my passenger that will suffer.

Kees is right, obviously.  If your chassis is shot, you can either attempt to repair it or get an original (not likely) 
or new replacement.  For a Healey, I'd take Rich's advice (always) and get a Kilmartin, or other, that is new, has 
better metal and retains the the original appearance.

To take this a step further, we're all negligent because we haven't replaced our ancient, socially irresponsible Healey 
chassis with friction-welded titanium space frames.  All the others, Martin's included, are simply not politically correct.

I'm with you Bob, but I would suspect that the "...cracking in two..." is
less then even having "hurt type" landing in a rotor craft !!!   <VBEG> !!

I am using Caswell's black chromate on small parts.You need to zinc 
plate the part first. The research I have done on gun blueing show 
there is a hot and cold process. The cold blueing is not very 
durable. I have not found any hot blueing kits and the process is 
very toxic compared to the cold process. Black chromate is very toxic too.

It's been 2011 here in The Great South Land for 12 hours.

So far so good! But bloody hot here in Sydney with close to 40c predicted -
that's 104f if you're wondering.

I think I'll stay inside where it's cool.

Whoops? Forgot to wish everyone a wonderful 2011 and that all you miles be
smooth, twisting and slightly down hill.

G'day

It's been 2011 here in The Great South Land for 12 hours.

So far so good! But bloody hot here in Sydney with close to 40c predicted -
that's 104f if you're wondering.

I think I'll stay inside where it's cool.
