I don't claim to be a hydraulics expert, but common sense says that compared
to a 7/8" cylinder a 1" cylinder would have the following characteristics.
More pressure ( given the same psi of input pressure, more square inches of
surface area = more total pressure.)
Further travel on the pedal to get the same effect at the wheels (The volume
of a cylinder that is 1" dia by X height is greater than a cylinder of 7/8"
diameter by the same height)
But hey I have been wrong before...

UK DATA PROTECTION ACT

Readers might be interested in knowing more about this. The 
Austin-Healey Club UK is a Limited Company and is subject to UK law. We 
have a law called the Data Protection Act where member information and 
therefore car owner information cannot be disclosed without the 
permission of the person in question.

Some UK Clubs appear to get around this by having this permission 
granted when they sign up as members. Unfortunately when the membership 
rules were drawn up by the AHC well over 30 years nothing like this was 
envisaged.

However the issue is not as serious as some people imagine because if we 
Register Secretaries receive a query that needs the owner information we 
either contact the owner on behalf of the person requesting the 
information or forward a 'to whom it may concern' letter .

In this manner I don't believe that anybody needing to legitimately 
contact an owner has failed so long as the owner is prepared to reply to 
a request.

This procedure does take place from time to time and works so as I say 
the UK law problem is nowhere as serious as some people fear.

Steve

I am sorry but I have to take issue here. What you say does not apply to 
the UK AHC. We kept far more than just the VIN/chassis numbers 15 years 
ago. We kept this detailed information going back something like 30 
years.

For example the first UK 100 Register was produced in 1970 but I agree 
this had limited car information. The first detailed Register started in 
1977 by John Wheatley and this had body/batch number, colours original 
and now, condition and in addition more detailed information. This was 
nearly 33 years ago!

In 1988 we transferred from paper records to a database with just over 
300 entries but kept all the detailed information and add a little more. 
Now we have approaching ten times that number and all details we receive 
are recorded.

Having said the above I fully endorse what you say

The wider the registries can be publicised, the more people will know 
about them. The more helpful they are to individual owners, the more 
likely the word will spread that registries are more than an idle 
pastime, but can be a
real
benefit to the Healey community.

Best regards

That would be for the master brake cilinder where you apply force and 
not pressure. In the wheel cilinders you create pressure by applying 
force to the MBC, thus the force exerted by the wheel cilinder will 
increase.

If the diameter of a brake cilinder is increased from 7/8" to 1" you 
will also increase the force on the brake shoes by 30%, so do it on all 
front cilinders. However pedal travel will increase, so beware of the 
rim of crud in the MBC if it is old. This rim may damage your seal. 
Leave the rear cilinders as they are.

Patrick,

I can't answer your question about what what wheel cylinders were used 
on the 100 and 100-6.  The six was a bit heavier car, so I would expect 
different cylinders.

Another option is to have the 1" cylinder sleeved back to 7/8".

Pressure is just force divided by area.  The master cylinder converts 
the force from pushing on the pedal to a pressure.  As you're not 
changing the master cylinder (diameter), the pressure is the same.  The 
wheel cylinder converts the pressure from the master cylinder to a 
force.  Rearranging the equation, force is pressure times area. The 1" 
cylinder will generate more force. Area equals PI * dia * dia / 4.  7/8" 
cylinder has an area of 0.6 sq. inch. 1" cylinder has area of 0.785 sq. 
inch.  The area increased 30%, so the force will be 30% higher.

You've got to change all the front wheel cylinders to the same size to 
keep things balanced side to side.  Or you're going to have one wheel 
locking up before the other.  Then you'll have to determine if the 
balance, front to rear is okay as the fronts will tend to lock up sooner 
than before.

Cheers,

Bob

Marty, there is a registry especially for Nasty Boys, the "Modified"
registry run by Leroy Joppa:  wierdwillie at centurytel.net
As Rich says, these cars were originally stock, and the appropriate model
registry should also have them included.

Nope, but I'll bet the Harbor Freight one is cheaper (if not the same):

John

I cannot vouch for the Harbor freight kit.  It would be interesting to at
least compare what comes inside the two different kits.

Listers,

I am seeking a source for replacement of a trafficator component.  The  
item in question is the "center switch plate".  I may have the part  
name incorrect but it is the black bakelite disc in the center of the  
trafficator assembly which serves to retain the signalling lever  
either left or right until the wheel is again returned to the center.   
At the center of the bakelite disc is a small "v" which serves to  
retain the signal requested until the turn is completed  The top edges  
of the "V" have become heavily worn and the replacing the whole disc  
would be the best fixl if a source of them can be found.  Thank you.

Mark,
Can't you build up using black coloured epoxy and dress it to its 
original shape? Epoxy will adhere to bakelite very well.
I have used the method in the past with succes, although they were 
other, radio, items.

Based on the varying reponses, I sought a Hagerty and Chubb estimate. USAA was
ruled out based on the differences in the subcontrator. 
Chubb was slightly
cheaper, but according to the broker I spoke with they require insuring all
vehicles in the household. That is not a reasonable requirement in my
situation. Thus I'm going with Haggerty.
BTW, the BJ8 in question belongs to
my daughter, currently deployed and I will use the car sparingly until she
returns. My BT7 and AN5's are covered by J.C.Taylor.
Bob
________________________________

Any one have experience with USAA insurance
on their Healey? 
Do they have agreed value coverage and what about their
response to claims?

I'm about to look for insuance for a fresh BJ8
restoration, we currently have USAA for the regular driver, might that make a
difference?

Thank you all for your responses.  I appreciate it.  Vic Wright lives  
up the road from me about 2.0miles and is a Healey friend.  In fact, I  
was just up there yesterday and it was a result of our visit that I  
decided to try the list. Vic was able gto finesse a bit more service  
out of my old trafficator but we both recognize that finding a  
replacement for the switch plate is the only real fix.  So, I am on  
the search.

Hello all,

Our new acquisition, the early BN1 is coming to her new home tomorrow. I have
asked four good Healey friends if they might want to assist and they readily
volunteered to accompany me on the expedition. Plan is, they show up at our
home about 10:30 AM where I'll be waiting with trailer hooked up and ready to
go. We're doing this during a rather cold snap here in Southern Ontario so
woolly long johns and a few layers under the coveralls will be the order of
the day!
The rolling chassis goes onto the trailer, all the loose outer panels are
arranged carefully in the back of the truck, and the rest of the car in boxes,
bundles and sundry packages will be packed in another vehicle (what are
friends for?)
We should have the task finished by mid afternoon as the car's not far from
here.
This is an excellent example how good friends, having met via the Healey Club
over the years, share good times and make the whole experience that much
better!
How else do you get a bunch of middle aged guys this excited and keep it
legal?????

   I have an assortment of side & x-rods of varying lenghts none seem to be

Betreff: [Healeys] Hundred Coming to New Home

Hello all,

Our new acquisition, the early BN1 is coming to her new home tomorrow. I have
asked four good Healey friends if they might want to assist and they readily
volunteered to accompany me on the expedition. Plan is, they show up at our
home about 10:30 AM where I'll be waiting with trailer hooked up and ready to
go. We're doing this during a rather cold snap here in Southern Ontario so
woolly long johns and a few layers under the coveralls will be the order of
the day!
The rolling chassis goes onto the trailer, all the loose outer panels are
arranged carefully in the back of the truck, and the rest of the car in boxes,
bundles and sundry packages will be packed in another vehicle (what are
friends for?) We should have the task finished by mid afternoon as the car's
not far from here.
This is an excellent example how good friends, having met via the Healey Club
over the years, share good times and make the whole experience that much
better!
How else do you get a bunch of middle aged guys this excited and keep it
legal?????

Message-ID: <ff59076c1002020106n60afc526t5f8948d3ca690d7c@mail.gmail.com>

All -

I suspect that John Harper is best suited to answer this question, but
I'll put it out there.

I own a '51/'52 Atlantic A90 Sports Saloon.  I am in the process of
stripping it down to paint it.

I have a BMIHT Certificate which only states the car is "Grey" which I
believe to be "Steel Dust Grey" which was a postwar metallic color
they used on these cars.

Both inside the heater box and the bulkhead behind the dash seem to
have the same color which is a soft light metallic green color.  These
are the areas on an Atlantic that are rarely covered over in a
respray.

The metallic green behind the dash is particularly telling as it seems
the original factory rust red primer is peaking just below the
metallic overspray near the upper parts under the shroud.  It looks
very much like what I would expect factory overspray to look like, so
I am pretty sure this is the original color.

The color itself is a light metallic green, very similar in shade to
the metallic green painted on my 64  BJ8 engine.  It also looks like
Seafoam Green" that Ive seen on '49 A90 convertibles, although that
seems to be a bit darker shade.

My question is this basically the same color they put on Austin Healey
engines???

So I have to ask am I seriously confused?   Or in my confusion do I
have all my facts straight, that my BMIHT certificate says Grey
which should be Steel Dust Grey which is in fact Metallic Green???

Also, was the chassis usually painted gloss Black on these cars?  What
color were the engines painted?  Body is coming off the chassis in a
few days so need to sort it all out.

Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.

Alan,

This page from the Auto Color Library has 1952 Austin color chips.

http://www.autocolorlibrary.com/default.aspx

Look at ash green on page 3. plus there are several shades of grey.  Also
there  Dove Grey on page 8.  Anyway the charts on pages 9 and 14 may help.

These pages are listing under "ahmg" in the index and I looked at 1951 and
1952.

Cheers,

Curt

I've been told by a couple Austin experts that those color chips are
not very accurate in shade and color for the post war Austins...
Thanks for thinking of me though....!  :)

Alan ,

Don't be too quick to dismiss this because of one person who has never used
the company's service.

True, the color chips may not be totally accurate but I've seen the results
of Auto Color Library's colors matching on real cars. It's outstanding.
Besides, it appears what you are looking for are the specific shades of grey
available, and the actual green that may be close to AH engine green,
correct?  This sight at least gives you a start and the names of these
specific greys and shades that may be close.

Cheers,

Curt

Hi, I've got new H4, three pin, halogen lights to go with my new headlight
setup.
At the moment, first attempt, there is no "let there be light" moment. Side
lights, yes but no high or low beams.
Now, I've done no real checking yet so the cause may be anything. Probably
some damn silly thing I've forgotten.
However, when I made up the connectors that press into the back of the bulbs
I thought I'd deduced which cable went where and I may well have boobed.
(I'd used pictures gleaned from the web, showing blue, red and black cables
going into the back of the fittings).
There are three pins. Let's say the apex of the glass is pointing directly
away from one and one is faced with:
Pin A, on the left, a vertical pin.
Pin B, in the centre above and to the right of A, a horizontal pin.
Pin C, on the right and below B, a vertical pin parallel to Pin A.

So, which is ground, high and low?

My stuff came without a scrap of instructions.

Simon.

Jim -

The voltage regulator, depending on how it is set, will cutout at the
adjusted amperage and voltage settings.  I suspect the old generator
is kicking out a high voltage setting, and the RB 340 cutout is
probably cutting the circuit out at too low a setting.  The other
generator may be putting out a slightly lower voltage and therefore
seeming  to work correctly.

You can adjust all of this by running the car at low idle and
adjusting the point gaps so that the light just goes on at 550 rpms or
so.

Thanks to all (esp Rick) for your suggestions.

I check the floats (both fine), the float forks (made slight adjustments) and
needle valves (took them out, jiggled them about and put back in).  Put
everything back together and now no leak!

Not quite sure what I did, but it worked :-)

It's snowing, snowing hard. The local radio station requests all car owners
to park their cars on the side of the road with odd numbered houses so that
the snow plough can pass. Norman's wife, a beautiful blonde, hears the
message, leaves the room and does as requested. A few days later: heavy
snowfall again. This time the radio man asks to park on the even side of the
roads, and again Norman's wife leaves the room to do as requested. A week
later: again heavy snow. The radio starts its usual message but half-way
there is a sudden power cut and the radio is silent. Norman's wife gets
rather upset and asks Norman what she shall do as she now doesn't know at
what side she has to put the car. Norman replies: "Don't bother, dear, just
leave the car in the garage."

Subject: [Healeys] Our BN1 Home
Message-ID: <BD3A962987DD428A8CAC746F9F6C8E63@LIFEBOOK>

Hello all,

Just wanted to follow up on the fact that four good friends assisted with the
gathering, loading and delivery of our BN1 project car on Tuesday afternoon.
The weather gods were smiling on us as it turned out to be ideal conditions
for the move; not numbing cold, just cold enough that things weren't melting
or wet so the roads were clean and dry.
We began about 11 AM and everything was back and off loaded by 4 PM, including
a stop for lunch on the way home.
The reason I wanted to share this with everybody is that fact that going out
for this expedition with good friends to share the experience (and the labour)
made the day even more fun and special for me.
I want to publicly thank Austin Healey Club of Southern Ontario members Scott
Morris, Graham Secord, Peter Svilans and Martyn Ridley for help with the move.
In fact Martyn came back for almost all of the next day to help me to sort
through everything so I could catalogue and take notes, while he packed and
stored it all in my cramped facilities.

Josef,

There were at least a couple of cars with reg plate xxx DON which were owned by
Healey and used for demos etc. Red Don is still or was last time I saw it in the
UK in private hands. It's actually mentioned in the piece at

http://www.sportscarmarket.com/Profiles/2009/July/English/

It's fairly well known so I am surprised that other listers haven't commented.

I can definitely confirm that Red Don was the publicity car for the Autocar
Test. I seem to recall that I have seen a picture of Donald Healey with Red
somewhere, but that doesn't mean that he used it privately either.

SPECIAL EDITION for "FRIDAY FUNNIES"
 
 
A man walks out to the street and  catches a taxi just going by. He gets 
into the taxi, and the cabbie says,  "Perfect timing. You're just like  Frank."

Passenger:  "Who?"

Cabbie:   "Frank  Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the 
time.  Like my coming  along when you needed a cab, things happen like that to 
Frank Feldman every  single time."

Passenger:  "There are always a  few clouds over  everybody."

Cabbie:   "Not Frank  Feldman.  He was a terrific athlete.  He could have 
won the Grand Slam  at tennis. He could golf with the pros.  He sang like an 
opera  baritone and danced like a Broadway star and you should have heard 
him play the  piano. He was an amazing  guy."

Passenger:   "Sounds like he was  something really  special."

Cabbie:   "There's more.  He had a memory like a computer.  He remembered 
everybody's birthday.  He knew all about wine, which foods to order and which 
fork to eat them with.  He could fix anything. Not like me.  I change a 
fuse, and the whole  street blacks out.  But Frank Feldman, he could do 
everything  right."

Passenger:   "Wow. Some guy  then."

Cabbie:   "He always knew the  quickest way to go in traffic and avoid 
traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem  to get stuck in them.  But Frank, he 
never made a mistake, and he  really knew how to treat a woman and make her 
feel good.  He would  never talk back to her even if she was in the wrong; 
and  his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too.  He was  
the perfect man! He never made a mistake.  No one could ever measure  up to 
Frank Feldman."

Passenger:   "An  amazing fellow.  How did you meet  him?"

Cabbie:   "Well, I never actually met Frank.  He died. I'm married to his 
fucking widow."

Message-ID: <6CD9E517-7B16-40EA-AA3B-8A3C0A2F7409@Gmail.com>

I have come to the conclusion I want a second "toy" in the garage ( I  
think a Saab 900 Turbo convertible) and one of the wife's biggest  
objections is how I am going to fit it and the Healey in my 20x20  
garage.

It occured to me that I have lots of tools I just don't use, and many  
I may be able to downsize.   What would you list as your bare  
essentials of tools.  I am thinking a full set of hand tools, work  
bench, vice, shop vac, air compressor, jack, stands, chocks,  
electrical testers and lots of lights.  I am not going to do body work  
again on my own, and specilized stuff like engine hoists can be rented  
or borrowed.

I have drawn up a floorplan maximizing untaped wall and ceiling space  
to shelve and clear as much of the floor as possiblie.  Anything else  
I need to put on the essential list. I know the blast cabinet is going  
and the air compressor will be downsized
Thanks

I don't have enough yard to grow the garage, plus it would be nearly
impossible to get by our HOA.   As for the lift, I don't have the ceiling
height for that, just 8 feet with a garage door in the way when raised.

One can never have enough tools!  Another toy?  Build another garage!  Park
the wife's car in the alley!  As soon as you sell that tool - you will need
it.  Just my $0.02.

We got the dash out of the car today and half of the bolts/screws holding
the heater unit to the inside firewall. 3 of four fenders have are no rust
free and repaired. rear of both rocker panels have been repaired. left front
fender has had rust cut off and the new panel is almost fitted. Right side
door has had the rust cut off from the bottom and the panel is being fitted.
Interior is now exterior (its been stripped down to bare metal). New
interior has been ordered. (blue with white piping) Still have a few small
patches rusted spots on interior floor area around rear wheel arch and in
boot floor under the battery tray.

Have aquired good paint codes for the Healey over ivory white.

Windscreen is off, all lights and most of the bright work has been removed.
Any trick in removing the side chrome spears?
Radiator is hanging on by 2 bolts.

Hope to have her off to get the paint stripped off by mid month.

Thanks to all who have offered advice and encouragement so far.
Hope to have her ready for the Eugene event, end of June,
cheers

Patton -

Using peg boards can really help free up alot of counter and tool box
space, and make everything very clearly identifiable.  We did this in
my dad's garage which is similarly sized and it really helped to get
stuff organized and pinned to the wall on peg boards.

You can't go out, you can't go up, go down!
Make a 'walk in' pit where you lower a vehicle into it or use fixed ramps 
across the top in which case you use it as storage space for parts.
My pit was designed to fit a 2 door Range Rover and let you open the 
driver's door so you can get out.

Turn the project over to your wife,  She'll make room for you,  guaranteed. 
Then you'll have to get
a new tool that will cover your car in the drive way, cause her car will be 
in the garage.  )

You can't have enough tools.   You need a small shed just for the "excess, 
not used much", tools.

You gotta do this hobby right or don't do it at all.  Man up and take 
charge.   You got to become

Tim Taylor The Tool Guy. Ar, Ar, Ar,  Ar,    and pull those pants down and

Message-ID: <13df1a4f1002050339p1265811er2c4642e13fc3db12@mail.gmail.com>

Seems the car I'm restoring has the wrong top bows with it. At least they
won't fit in the boot when folded. They do have some repair welds on them
and that may be the problem, but the top bows I have use a flat metal slat
across the front for the headrail to scerw to. The top itself  (very old and
critter-chewed) has a headrail attached to the top with an aluminimum strip
which curves over the windscreen to hold it in place - so they don't belong
together. Either the top bows or the top are wrong for the car (They could
both be wrong).
Could anyone tell me what the topbows for a BN7 ( '62 tri-carb) look like?
Should they be 2 or 3 bows, should they have cant rails, should they fold
flat to fit in the boot ?  Any info would be appreciated. A picture would be
great!
Thank you,
Bob

Bob,

None of them should fit in the boot. The BT7 top with header bar and bows 
assembly folds fairly flat and stows behind the rear seat panel, the legs 
exposed sitting along the left and right wheel arch quarter panel top. 
Excellent photos of all series top bows is in the front portion of the 
current Moss catologue. There's a whole procedure in how to stow the top and 
bows in the original owners handbook. You can purchase repro copies of that 
on ebay.

I tried to think of what tools I have that I could get rid of, particulalry 
ones that take up space.  Hard to come up with a useful list, there is of 
course nothing worse than being on a job and having to stop to go get a 
tool, plus if you have lots of tools you have the added benefit and "guy 
status" of being the guy in the neighborhood who has a tool for everything.

So like everybody else on the list apparently I cannot in good consience 
give you any advice on getting rid of tools.

Focus on maximizing space, a stand alone shed or one of those that sits 
adjacent to the house for the necessary evils like lawnmowers, snowshovels, 
fertilizer spreaders and rakes, I haven't done this yet but sure would like 
to.

As mentioned pegboard is good.  Sounds like you may not have room for a 
loft, but even if you have an 8 foot or 9 foot ceiling there should be room 
for high shelves around the walls (I have done that with some 30" shelving 
at about head level to store larger tools and car parts, as well as many 
lower level 12" shelves to store waxes, lubricants, cleaners, etc.)  I have 
suspended 2 x 4s in a square cornered U shape from the ceiling set up to 
store my extension ladder, suspension storage like that is very useful for 
getting ladders and other little used items out of the way, and if you are 
not overly tall it is totally out of your way when not in use.

A healthy credit card and a cell phone?

I think your list covered it. But instead of a bench (which
always seems to collect junk as just another shelf), I'd
consider a something like a Work Mate for a portable work
surface, and/or maybe the new Jawhorse for clamping/holding
things. The Jawhorse, a 2nd sawhorse, and a 2'x4' sheet
of plywood would store easily and create a temporary work
surface.

I have to agree with Kent. A workmate is the better option. It is a pity 
I cannot send a picture through the net but you should see my workbench 
of 6.0m x 0.7m, plus  kitchen sink area of 2.0m x 0.6m. You cannot. 
Unidentified stuff on it piled high but no available work area.

   I think you and I are saying the same thing.  Maybe I am confused about the
mechanical advantage involved.  If pedal movement is constant the larger slave
cylinder will move less distance.  Does that equal less force working on the
brake shoes?  The smaller slave cylinder will move a greater distance and it
seems to me push harder on the brake shoes.  I am having a hard time getting
my mind around this and I really want to have a basic understanding of the
concepts involved here.
  Here's what started this whole deal.  I have two 100s, one pretty far along
in resto one in waiting.  When ever I can I rebuild parts for both cars at the
same time.  One car is stock late BN-1 ( four, one inch front cylinders on
early narrow drums, two one inch rears with wider hypoid axel drums ) no
problem here. The other car came to me with BJ-8 front disc brakes and will
have BN-7 / BJ-8 rear cylinders.  They are 7/8"slide in the backing plate
single piston cylinders. Can I use the 100 master cylinder with the later
brakes? The later cars have a brake booster. Do I need to add a brake
booster?  Could I use a larger or dual master cylinder?  What other options
come to mind?
Thanks for your help

I worked in Hydraulics for 40 years,  The larger the cylinders are the greater
the force.   Area x pressure = force.   also the larger the cylinder the more
fluid it takes to move the cylinders a set distance so you will require more
travel of the break pedal .

   I'm not a hydraulic expert myself but I think it's the other way around.
Smaller diameter wheel cylinders give more pressure for the same pedal
travel.  Let me know what replies you get.  I very well could be wrong and I
want to know.

Excuse my ignorance of hydraulic science, but I am told that by increasing
the
front cylinders from 7/8 inch to 1 inch it will improve the brake performance
considerably. The brakes are not boosted and the car is fitted with a

Quentin,
Send me the picture of the top bows. I have a set for the BN7 that has
the soft top off, a set for a 100 with the old top still attached, a set
for the BN4 with the soft top off and a set for the 100 with the soft
top off and Of course my BJ8 with the top up right now. With all that,
maybe I can help identify your problem. I will help if I can, but am
leaving town on Tuesday.

I have the original tonneau for my car.  At first it wouldn't stretch
enough to fit.  Several listers suggested letting it sit outside in
the sun, and getting it really warm worked.

Subject: [Healeys] Reno Red
Message-ID: <598848.27290.qm@web110209.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

Hi listers,
After a hiatus of 5-6 months (work!) I am prepping the 56 BN2 for paint and I
have a paint related question.  Car will be painted in it's original color
Reno Red with Black coves.
The older ICI code for Reno Red was "3000"  I checked in with a PPG supplier
and the only thing he found was a '56 color for "Rover" marked Reno Red only
available in PPG's Global Line, which is not available locally. (I am checking
if this is a California thing)
My (slight) preference is a single-stage paint as I find the base/clear
oftentimes too 'hard' visually (and out of period).  Single stage urethane is
somewhat in between the old enamel/lacquer and base/clear in terms of
appearance and has the modern chemistry (longer lasting paint). Drawback is a
hard line between the 2 colors of the 2-tone scheme, as per original I guess.
My car was over-painted in a previous life, now media-blasted and where I
found the original paint (ie under the axle buffer, inside door) the red paint
is oxidized and dull. I have the Pikovnic book, but the chips for Reno red are
somewhat cloudy.  Sigh, it took me quite a bit of time to get my hands on one
via ebay.  So giving the paint supplier a sample to match is not going to work
for me.   At least I can confirm the color on the car is indeed Reno Red as
per certificate.
AutoColorLibrary.com has the chip in it's library but it seems not available
in PPG Acrylic Urethane (concept DCC)   They have this color in their own
paint-line called "restoration shop"  but I cannot find many reviews online on
this cheap, unknown paint.  I prefer PPG as the painter I am talking with is
familiar with PPG.   The painter came recommended by local clubmembers.
http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1956-ahmg-pg12.j
pg
Are there formulations available for Reno Red and the original black?  Or does
anybody have a small painted panel/sample available, a couple ounces of Reno
Red I can buy?  Other solutions?  
All advice
 welcome.

I have the original tonneau for my car.  At first it wouldn't stretch
enough to fit.  Several listers suggested letting it sit outside in
the sun, and getting it really warm worked.

Patton and Fellow Healey Friends...

I too found myself in a very similar situation, albeit probably under very different circumstances.  I was forced to reevaluate my tools and sort through them.  One pile to keep, one to discard and one to sell.  I then sorted the Keeper pile into two sub categories Must-Haves and Nice-To-Haves.  I alphabetized them - don't ask why.  I ordered them by height, width then overall mass - I had a lot of time on my hands.  I then cleaned them all which made sorting them into three piles based on a "brightness factor" - I like bling in the garage.  

As you can imagine all of this took a very long, long time.  This provided many opportunities to review my plan, formulate my objectives and really focus on what was needed to keep the Healey and any other toys in top working order.  If you're like me, you're always looking for the best, most effective way to keep these old cars going, anything that doesn't help in this endeavor finds it's way curb-side.  

In the end I kept all my tools and got rid of the wife.  I have a very clean workshop outfitted with the great set of tools - even one-time use tools and a Healey in great running condition.  Now no one questions me about spending $20 on OD drain socket tool or $400 on a new set of Lampert gears.  Life is Good - enjoy it.

I am thinking a full set of hand tools, work bench, vice, shop vac, air compressor, jack, stands, chocks, electrical testers and lots of lights.

I have drawn up a floorplan maximizing untaped wall and ceiling space to shelve and clear as much of the floor as possiblie.  Anything else I need to put on the essential list. I know the blast cabinet is going and the air compressor will be downsized

The other day I had lunch with 2 of my unmarried friends.
One is engaged, one is a mistress, and of course I have been married for
20+ years..
We were chatting  about our relationships and decided to thrill our men by
Wearing a black leather bra & bodice, stiletto heels, and a mask over just
Our eyes.  We agreed to meet in a few days to exchange notes.

Here's how it all went:

My engaged friend:
"The other night my boyfriend came over and found me wearing a black
Leather bodice, tall stilettos and a mask. He saw me and whispered,  'You
Are the woman of my dreams.  I love you..'  Then we made love all night
Long."

The mistress:
"Me too! I met my lover at his office and I was wearing the leather
Bodice, heels and mask over my eyes and a raincoat. When I opened the
Raincoat he didn't say a word.  He just took me into his arms, and we had
Wild explosive sex all night. "

Then I had to share my story:
When my husband came home I was wearing the leather bodice, black
Stockings, stilettos and a mask over my eyes..   As soon as he came in the
Door and saw me, he said.

"What's for dinner, Batman?"

That begs the question of when you go to try and replace a worn out tonneau
(original per Heritage anyway) should one do any special
preparations/adjustments to make sure the damn thing fits two years down the
road.  Experience is the best teacher and I have 0.

Hello Jim,
Bob Abbott is the guy needing heal with top bows.
I sent him a couple of pics. of my BN7 with the uncovered bows in  
place and bare BN7 bows on the floor.
I could really have used your pictures a year or so ago.
Best
Dave

Quentin, 	
Send me the picture of the top bows. I have a set for the BN7 that has
the soft top off, a set for a 100 with the old top still attached, a set
for the BN4 with the soft top off and a set for the 100 with the soft
top off and Of course my BJ8 with the top up right now. With all that,
maybe I can help identify your problem. I will help if I can, but am
leaving town on Tuesday.

Bob.
Here are a couple of pictures of my BN7 top bows. I have more of a
semi original top as I removed it from the one
shown on the car
Good luck

In the continuing pursuit of literary precision, and in the spirit of those
who corrected the use of "concours" a few weeks ago, I would point out that
a "tonneau" (pronounced to rhym with on-oh, not canoe or un-oh) is the
stowave box behind the seat on an open single seat buggy, and by extension the
area between the front seats and the rear shroud on an open car, which may or
not have any provisions for seating.
The soft trim piece that is used to cover it is a tonneau cover.

Just thought you'd want to know that.

If you want to figure out who is a better friend, your wife or your dog, try
locking them both in the truck of your Healey for an hour and see who is
happy to see you when you open it up.

In the continuing pursuit of literary precision, it is "rhyme" not
"rhym".

Just thought you would want to know.

no I still spend more, but just barely :)
actually the restoration has tilt the balance towards me.
Fortunately the entire family is really excited about the Healey finally
being finished. My son studying in Israel and is bummed not  to see the
progress.
Ed, remodel the garage and build in a nice big shoe rack for her :)

Bert,

I connected with a gentleman in mid 2008 that was painting his 100 Reno Red.
His name was John Steele and was located in Kansas.  He had done a good bit
of research on the topic and, at the time, came up with options.  He also
sent me a Reno Red paint chip sample he made up.  I don't believe he's on
the list so I can forward your inquiry to him if you'd like.  Let me know.

 

I'll be interested in what you find out because I have a 100M that was
originally Reno red and black.  I'm not doing the resto right now.

 

I would be glad to share the paint chip sample if necessary, as long as I
get it back.

Hi listers,

After a hiatus of 5-6 months (work!) I am prepping the 56 BN2 for paint and
I have a paint related question.  Car will be painted in it's original color
Reno Red with Black coves.

The older ICI code for Reno Red was "3000"  I checked in with a PPG supplier
and the only thing he found was a '56 color for "Rover" marked Reno Red only
available in PPG's Global Line, which is not available locally. (I am
checking if this is a California thing) My (slight) preference is a
single-stage paint as I find the base/clear oftentimes too 'hard' visually
(and out of period).  Single stage urethane is somewhat in between the old
enamel/lacquer and base/clear in terms of appearance and has the modern
chemistry (longer lasting paint). Drawback is a hard line between the 2
colors of the 2-tone scheme, as per original I guess.

My car was over-painted in a previous life, now media-blasted and where I
found the original paint (ie under the axle buffer, inside door) the red
paint is oxidized and dull. I have the Pikovnic book, but the chips for Reno
red are somewhat cloudy.  Sigh, it took me quite a bit of time to get my
hands on one via ebay.  So giving the paint supplier a sample to match is
not going to work

for me.   At least I can confirm the color on the car is indeed Reno Red as

per certificate.

AutoColorLibrary.com has the chip in it's library but it seems not available

in PPG Acrylic Urethane (concept DCC)   They have this color in their own

paint-line called "restoration shop"  but I cannot find many reviews online
on this cheap, unknown paint.  I prefer PPG as the painter I am talking with
is

familiar with PPG.   The painter came recommended by local clubmembers.

http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1956-ahmg-pg12.

pg

Are there formulations available for Reno Red and the original black?  Or
does anybody have a small painted panel/sample available, a couple ounces of
Reno Red I can buy?  Other solutions?  

All advice

 welcome.

I am still torn between getting the center lock alloy wheels for my Healey,
or not getting them. I don't think they will add anlything other than
eliminating inner tubes. Also, I am suspicious of anything VB sells,even
though these probably come from a reputable manufacturer.

I would like to have some input from the list, particularly if you have made
the change and have found some advantage to having them. Otherwise I could
put the money elsewhere in the car.

One thing, they are the same wheels as for the MGC, so I could eventually
swap them if I want to, but would I?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom,


Jack

Patton,
My Healey is all apart for a frame up restoration and my wife is not going to
give up her side of the garage. I did extensive flooring in the attic and most
of my Healey is up there in boxes. I purchased cabinets from Lowes and
assembled them to store other Healey Parts, etc. My Healey is on a dolly that
can be rolled around the garage as needed when I want to work on it.
 
I haven't driven or ridden in a Healey since April 2007 so you have an option
to store your Healey at my place. Leave me the key and a full tank of gas. You
don't have to worry about me borrowing parts from it because mines a BJ8 and I
want to keep yours "driveable" LOL

I have come to the conclusion I want a second "toy" in the garage ( I think a
Saab 900 Turbo convertible) and one of the wife's biggest objections is how I
am going to fit it and the Healey in my 20x20 garage.

It occured to me that I have lots of tools I just don't use, and many I may
be
able to downsize.   What would you list as your bare essentials of tools.  I
am thinking a full set of hand tools, work bench, vice, shop vac, air
compressor, jack, stands, chocks, electrical testers and lots of lights.  I
am
not going to do body work again on my own, and specilized stuff like engine
hoists can be rented or borrowed.

I have drawn up a floorplan maximizing untaped wall and ceiling space to
shelve and clear as much of the floor as possiblie.  Anything else I need to
put on the essential list. I know the blast cabinet is going and the air
compressor will be downsized
Thanks

I built cabinets on one side of the garage. Put an old piece of counter top
I had left over from a remodel for a work bench. Put sliders on all the
shelves so you could pull them out and see what you actually have. Put peg
board on the inside and outside of the cabinet doors.  Tools I used all the
time were on the outside pegboard. Put all my wrenches, sockets, screw
drivers, in those plastic hanging holders. And placed on the outside
pegboard. Installed  those stanely  L style steel wall brackets and shelving
on all the walls 1 can deep and max can high to accommodate all my
chemicals. 

 

Cleared a massive amount of space and I could actually "see" my tools and
what I needed. Bought a small plastic snap together garden shed to put all
my car parts in. Built narrow wood shelving and lined the three sides. One
part deep sort of thing. Fenders, hoods, top, went in the center. To get all
the "to be fixed" parts and shelves they were on out of the garage. Cleared
out 4 rolling shelving units. For the first time I could actually work in my
garage and not trip over something! 

 

About a month after finishing the project and being pretty happy about it
all, my wife placed a for sale sign in the front yard. Apparently she found
the house deal of the Century we just had to have.but.but..My Garage!.You
can guess who one that battle..LOL.

I'm sure the author meant to type stowage box when his left digit moved 
half a key to the left and one row down.
And you only need a stowage box if you're showing a cabriolet hitched to

Whilst rummaging about amongst my "stuff", I came upon a double sided
card for a Crosley Hotshot. When I first glanced at it I thought it was a
Bugeye Sprite, but this car was built between 1949 and 1952. It was a
doorless convertible with bug-eyed freestanding headlamps. Interesting
that it should be resurrected some six years later on the other side of
the pond!! As Yogi Berra said, "It is Deja Vu all over again!!".

Bert, I have a quart of the "Restoration Shop" paint from the Autocolor 
Library folks, it is Triumph Signal Red, which as I understand was 
consolidated by Leyland with Healey Colorado Red to the the same color 
sometime in the 70s, not your color, but you asked about the paint.

I have only painted my engine compartment, but the single stage urethane 
enamel (I feel the same as you about basecoat clearcoat on older cars, but I 
think we are in the minority) the paint lays down smooth and polished up 
well in the places I did not get smooth (which I put on me and not the 
paint).

But I have not yet painted the exterior of the car yet nor has it sat in the 
sun, so cannot speak to UV resistance to fade either.

But I have to say to this point I am pleased with the product and will 
probably buy another gallon to finish the car, I was not sure if I would use 
the Restoration Shop paint, but am please with the engine compartment, so 
will go with it.

Doug -

The Crosley Hotshot was just about the crappiest car ever made.  It
had this insane motor which was stamped out of sheetmetal, which made
it difficult to repair and didn't last long, and the water jacket was
prone to rust through in short order.  I think it came in a kit and
you put it together like an IKEA closet.

It handled poorly and had rotten performance, and sorry, have to
disagree with you, it was just about the ugliest version of a bugeye
you can think of.  Just becaus a Pontiac Fiero looks kinda like a
Lamborghini Jalpa doesn't mean they looked the same....

There's a picture somewhere on the internet of Frank Lloyd Wright on
an estate driving around with his wife in a couple of Crosley
Hotshots, that picture reduced my respect for the man about 10 pts,
unfortunately.

Hope there aren't any Hotshot owners on the list!

They are about to start paint my BJ8. It was originally Ivory/old English
white. I wish to use the same color. I have misplaced the paint code. I
belive
it was wt 03. Can anyone confirm that? Also I'm considering a clear coat to
make the paint more durable. Any opinions on that?
Thanks.

Funny you mention that, there was an antique car show in the old 
Heritage Square area and I just happened to drive by see it Sat and so 
I  stopped by.  There was anything from a 70's Citroen, to a 72 chevy PU 
(mildly customized and lowered) to a bunch of model t's, to some cool 
Packards - all decades represented, no real theme.   One of those 
Crosleys was there, I forgot how small they were, and my first thought 
was, "who butchered up that poor little frogeye" - lol.

http://www.americansportscars.com/crosley.html

Kind of like a cross between a frogeye and a Fiat Jolly.  I sure would 
like to find a Jolly at the same time I had the $$ to spare to pay for 
it, they are cool.

Yeah, I know it's weird, but I like the pink one.  Wicket seats, very cool.

Actually, "tonneau" is a french word that means litterally "barrel" (of 
wine for instance).
It comes from the language used for the very early carriages.
A tonneau was a car in which you stepped in in the front or in the rear.
See there under that term

Alan,
A slightly modified (lowered) Fiat 500 with with Abarth or Steyr-Puch 
engine (around 50 or 60 HP) was a hard to beat car on the (dry) track in 
the 60's and 70's and could outrun a Healey on a twisty track.
My first car was a Fiat 500 with suicide doors, around 21HP!!, top speed 
about 55mph, unsynchronised 4sp. gearbox. A hoot to drive in town. To 
change gears you did not need the clutch at all, blipping the trottle 
and a bit of feel was enough.

A Crosley must have run over you as a child to give such a one 
dimensional account.

Good morning.

I'd be interested to hear input from anyone that has done the Putzke's
FAHRPASS bilstein shock conversion.  I am proceeding with my BJ8 suspension /

at the Carrera Pan Americana Mexico race?  Tried to Google it, but came up
short.  There was a very nice pic printed in a magazine at Borders Book store
(forgot the Title of the Magazine- paint fumes).  I am also too cheap/poor to
buy the issue just for the pic.  I would like to do a painting of the picture.

No, but apparently there are a lot of people who think that the car is 
significant.  There are also a lot of people who may think of 
Austin-Healeys as garbage.  Take one of your British cars to a show that 
has only muscle cars and street rods there and see how many awards you win.
Most car guys can find something of interest in any car.

Reinhart,

The Steyr-Puch differed quite a bit from the Fiat although it was build 
under their licence. For starters it had a totally different engine 
(flat twin) but also there were differences in the bodywork, styling, 
suspension (I think) and probably the gearbox.
I seem to remember that the standard engine size was 650cc with about 
40HP which was enlarged to 850cc and about 50-60HP.
They were a good match for the Mini's and the Fiat 600 (1000)cc Abarths 
on the Zandvoort race course. They were absolute fun and easy to drive.

I remember the Crosley sedan this way. A family down the street had
one, with a two cylinder engine, I think (could have been 4). From
their house to ours, they came down a short hill, then started up
slightly, then a tight 45 degree turn into a 200 yard long steep hill.
I lived about half way up the steep part. If they left their house and
had a good head of steam when they got to the bend,  they could make
it to the top of the hill if one person was in the car. If there were
2 in the car or they had to slow a bit, the car would get to about our
house and stall. The passenger would get out, and if I or another kid
was around. we would push while the driver tried not to stall again,
until we got to the top of the hill. And yet the Hotshot could
apparently race! Wow.

Jack,

are you talking about the replica Dunlop "magnesium" wheels, similar to those
used on the Jaguar D-Type? If thats the case, then I can tell you that these
wheels are a tight fit on a BN2. I had some machining done on the center, so
they would clear the shock absorber arm.

Regards

Betreff: [Healeys] Should I, or Shouldn't I?

I am still torn between getting the center lock alloy wheels for my Healey,
or not getting them. I don't think they will add anlything other than
eliminating inner tubes. Also, I am suspicious of anything VB sells,even
though these probably come from a reputable manufacturer.

I would like to have some input from the list, particularly if you have made
the change and have found some advantage to having them. Otherwise I could
put the money elsewhere in the car.

One thing, they are the same wheels as for the MGC, so I could eventually
swap them if I want to, but would I?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom,


Jack

Mr. Miller,

I suggest you contact the Shelby American collection in Boulder, CO.   
The Phone number is 303-516-9565.  In addition to an amazing  
collection of brute force racing machinery the Collection has a very  
impressive display of photographs.  If any of the listers get close to  
Boulder you owe yourself a visit to this museum.

That comment comes from a guy who has a '52 A90???????  Crosleys spawned a
whole class of racing in the fifties and although dopey little cars, they
could whop on other dopey little cars that were plentiful in the day.   Check
out the Al Moss videos and see Henry Manney driving his supercharged hot shot.
If you need a challenge, try to build a period special with a 750 cc engine to
beat a Crosley powered special, aint easy..........Cheers Henry Morrison,

    Our '49 Nash - the family car at the time - was at the service station on
the corner.  The muffler had to be put on again.  The pot holes on the road to
our place got pretty deep in spring time where I grew up.
     Because Dad was such a good customer Percy at the service station fixed
Dad up with his loaner car - a Crosley.  I still remember how glad I was we
had a Nash.

I have put the set on my BJ8, the BN4 and the 100 (not on the road yet)
and have a set for the BN6, not yet installed. I am very happy with the
complete set. Hopefully, I can answer in more detail yet this week, but
have to run to the airport (drive maybe) before the latest snow sets in,
or else I could miss Daytona!

I've done to the car.  The set-up is not Putzke's; it was done years and years
ago.  Allen Hendrix (Hendrixwirewheel.com) did the replacements just last
year.

I had better luck googling "panamericana" (no space) and "panamerica"
(no "na") along with "shelby". Maybe what you want is here:

I've also heard that Crosley engines were/are in great demand for some 
sort of boat racing.  When I had my big Healey engine at the machine 
shop, they had a Crosley engine there also.  It was kind of strange 
because the head and block are one piece.  Apparently the cast iron 
engines are very robust for something so small.

You guys are way to hard on the Hot Shot.  Hot Shots were successfully raced
by lots of amateur sports car racers in the early 1950s, including some names
we'd recognize today as early pioneers of the sport in the USA.  Henry Manney
III comes to mind.  It was a product of its time and has an interesting place
in the history of sports cars in the USA.

Doug -
The Crosley Hotshot was just about the crappiest car ever made.  It
ad this insane motor which was stamped out of sheetmetal, which made
t difficult to repair and didn't last long, and the water jacket was
rone to rust through in short order.  I think it came in a kit and
ou put it together like an IKEA closet.
It handled poorly and had rotten performance, and sorry, have to
isagree with you, it was just about the ugliest version of a bugeye
ou can think of.  Just becaus a Pontiac Fiero looks kinda like a
amborghini Jalpa doesn't mean they looked the same....
There's a picture somewhere on the internet of Frank Lloyd Wright on
n estate driving around with his wife in a couple of Crosley
otshots, that picture reduced my respect for the man about 10 pts,
nfortunately.
Hope there aren't any Hotshot owners on the list!

 doorless convertible with bug-eyed freestanding headlamps. Interesting
 that it should be resurrected some six years later on the other side of
 the pond!! As Yogi Berra said, "It is Deja Vu all over again!!".

Udo Putzke did my conversion personally 5 yrs ago.
It made an amazing improvement in handling. He also put in some bushings and
the electronic ignition.
I love all of it.  Many others in the San Diego club have made the
conversion also.

Good morning.

I'd be interested to hear input from anyone that has done the Putzke's
FAHRPASS bilstein shock conversion.  I am proceeding with my BJ8 suspension

List,


Just saw the movie On The Beach with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner in which
they wrecked two Austin Healey's in the race seens and a shot of Ava Gardner
driving a Healey to the coast to see Gregory Pecks character off in his
submarine.  When she is looking out over the water, you get a good view of the
inside of the cockpit of the RHD Healey in the fore ground and the dash with
the word Austin on a placard above the heater controls.  Good movie made in
1959 and remember seeing it in the theaters on a first run back then but
didn't notice or remember the Healey's at the time.  My first recollection of
a big Healey was about 1961 or so when I was in high school.

Thanks for the reference. Lots of fun stuff in there. So, to correct our 
derivation: A tonneau is a barrel. A car with a round rear end that looks like 
a barrel is called a tonneau. Hence now, the area behind the front seats on 
spyders/spiders (another fun area to explore -- why is a small convertible 
called by the name of an arachnid?), is called the tonneau. And we still 
wind up in the same place: the area that is covered is called the tonneau, and 
the cover which covers it is called a tonneau cover.

Drifting around that page, I was disappointed, however, to see cabriolet 
simply shown as a modern convertible car. The original cabriolets were light 
two-wheeled carriages with canvas tops. 
A spyder/spider was a lightweight four-wheel open carriage, incidentally. 
If you were a young squire, with a fast pacer, you'd road race against the 
other young bloods to prove that your carriage horse was faster than theirs, 
and of course you'd want the lightest carriage you could drive.

Now what was the original discussion about? I forget.

Don't sell the Crosley Marque short - I learned to drive in a 1950 Crosley Hot Shot, and what a
Thrill it was - no synchro - had to double clutch - and the four cylinder engine (also used
in lighthouses as military generators) gave all it could. I'm lucky I survived that doorles
escapade - my brother still has the car in Ventura, Ca. Honestly I think my early Crosley driving
experiences led me to the purchase of my first car - an Austin Healey 3000 (64) in 1969.

Good eye, Larry.
Actually the car she was driving did not have a heater; that plate replaced
the heater control plate, filling that neat little recess in the center of
the dashboard. Heaters were optional, and I guess they weren't routinely
installed on Healeys in Australia. The scene I liked was when they pulled up
to
the country inn in a torrential downpour, and when he got into the
tavern/pub, his left pants leg was completelydry. Any Healey owner knows that
could
never happen.
The racing scenes, incidentally, were real, filmed at one of the race
tracks in southern California. I'm sure someone else on this list can tell you
which of the now-defunct tracks they were using. They're pretty good pictures
of how casual club racing was in the day. The wrecks were staged, but we're
assured that no functional Healeys were harmed in the filming of the movie.
As you can guess, I've got a dvd of the film, and have watched it a number
of times.

G'day Gary

The races were filmed at Riverside, California and apart from the
Austin-Healeys there are a number of interesting aspects about the film.

1.	Fred Astaire didn't dance in the film. 
2.	Ava Gardner said that Melbourne was the perfect place to make a film
about the end of the world.
3.	One of the only speaking roles undertaken by an Australian in the
film was by John Meillon who played the role of the seaman who jumped off
the submarine in San Francisco harbour to go and find his family. (He was
also in Crocodile Dundee so he must have survived SF!) 
4.	Neville Shute was a keen motor racing enthusiast who lived in
Australia for some time and while here raced an XK120.
5.	Australians, no matter the situation wouldn't sit around a BBQ and
sing Waltzing Matilda.

I think that a Crosley probably has issues like many of the cars of the era.
That's what makes it interesting to make them go.  Morris Minors were
advertised as doing 0-60 in 28 seconds, how can that be something to spout?
Well a Renault Dauphine only did it in 32 seconds.  My hmod car is Renault
powered and ridiculously slow.  But it was the dream of some crazy car guys
back in the fifties.  Whatever you think about these silly little cars you
should check out this website that features all the specials carved out of old
Crosleys and others.   Mine is the "Bunce"....................Cheers Henry

Of the racing scenes in "On The Beach", 'twas said that: "The racing scenes,
incidentally, were real, filmed at one of the race
tracks in southern California."

I'm not sure what you mean by "real", but those scenes were most definitely
NOT filmed during amateur races. A few scenes showing the start/finish line
were shot in Australia, while the remainder were shot at Riverside using
drivers hired specifically for the movie at $150 a day.

You'll find more details at http://delarue.net/beach.htm#filming

Don't knock the funny looking little Crosley Hotshot - I leaned to drive
with one as my first car. It was a thrill, double clutching was needed on
most shifts through the three gears, and 45-50 mph felt pretty fast with
no doors, top, or seat belts. My brother still has the car in Ventura, and
I am sure that driving experience led me to my next purchase - a 1964
Healey 3000 in 1969, that I still have.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the update but I think you've got bigger, much bigger issues at work here.  Not only are the messages delayed in the delivery process but the server seems to be dropping nearly all Healey-related emails too.  All I seem to be getting are English / grammar emails from listers with broken spell-checkers and some that seem to have English as a fourth or fifth language.  I'm also getting a ton of emails regarding some some "pretty", butt-ugly non-Healey pea-shooter.  Oh yeah, then there's this art-gallery quest regarding old pictures going on too.  

It normally wouldn't be an issue but the foot of snow outside and the near zero degree temps means this is the only way to get my Healey fix.  I'm so glad I'm not hooked on that other list's passion - what was it. . . the Cross-Eyed Pea Shooter?  I think Carroll Shelby drove one on his first date.

Man that server is really messed up.  I just want to say thanks for looking into the problem(s) and getting them corrected soon.  I'm putting you in for a raise too - for all your service above & beyond the call of duty.  I can't wait to get back to my Healey mail.

Cheers,
Carlos

Currently there is some issue with the main Team.Net
mail server.  Messages come in to the server, get handed
off to the mailing list manager and then for some as yet
unknown reason don't get sent out for roughly two hours,
maybe two and a half.  Ah, the wonders of modern technology.

I'm looking into it, hopefully will have the situation
improved soon.  That's why I get paid the big bucks here!

While I can possibly fix the delay issues,  I am not sure I can
quickly solve the other problem.  This list has obviously been
taken over by extraterrestials of limited intelligence and no
knowledge of Healeys.  They have, however, done a somewhat
passible job of learning to write English.  I'll look into it,
though I can't promise a quick cure.

Ah, the "little boat" in Italian. All you need to do is look at a Ferrari
Barchetta, one of the loveliest automobiles of all time, and you can figure
out why the Italians used this term.

Message-ID: <D278B947-C6AA-4028-BF8C-5FA33F2FBD1B@ntelos.net>

I purchased a Burlen Electronic Conversion Fuel pump kit from Burlen  
in the UK. This was to convert the original BN7 fuel pump.
However the bushing they furnished for the Diaphragm shaft was too  
large for the hole in the core.
  I decided to install the kit on my spare AZX 1300 Series pump.
  After installation the pump refused to to cycle. As I pushed the  
"hall Shield" in , per their instructions the pump would
buzz but not cycle.

On Jan 10 I sent them an Email explaining the problem. No response.
On Jan 24 I sent another, "any body home?"  No response.
On Feb 1  I sent another," IS IT YOUR INTENT TO IGNORE ME?" No response.

Great Customer Relations.


Any one else had this problem?

Which actually brings us back closer to AH in a round about way.  The 
Ferrari Barchetta was a trend setting car that arguably had some to a lot of 
influnce on the styling of the 100.  Look at the other contemporary British 
sports cars the slab sided Jag 120 has a little pre-war BMW 328 in it, the 
TR2 copied the Jag (take a look at one with the rear wheel spats) .  MGs, 
Rileys, HRGs and such were still square rigged separate fendered cars.

The 100 and AC Ace went off in whole new direction, the Ace very clearly 
influenced by the Barchetta, and the Healey with some family resemblence as 
well, but as Gerry Coker stated (if I recall correctly) he wanted to create 
something all its own, and so he did, a timeless design, but you see 
something akin to the Barchetta in some of the side and back views.

I may be mistaken, thought this news column was for& about Austin Healeys, not
English grammar, word definitions( that's why there is the web). I really
enjoy the info about Healey's,not all the other BS. Don't really care about
what car you learned to drive in, unless it was a Healey! Some people
obviously have way to much free time. Perhaps we could get back on track!

Geno,

You'll have to forgive Gary. He is an impulsive intellectual who finds it
necessary to correct the plebeian membership when we stray from Webster.
Although both the grammar and car are English!!

Yesterday, I visited my Healey at the painter/restorer where they build hot
rods and restore classics in Reno. They had four cars at the action in
Scotsdale where the tent blow away. They showed me the damage to two of their
cars. They were lucky, only minor body damage to the bodies. Not so with the
paint. Cables scrapped over the finish and canvas burns all over. Others cars
sustained cables and heavy buckles smashing into glass and bodies and some
ripped apart. It was an act of God and not insurable in many cases.

Even more specifically than that, Gerry always says that he was much very 
influenced by the Italian designers, and when some senior journalist at the 
Earls Court show said, within earshot of Gerry, that the Healey 100 must have 
been designed by an Italian, Gerry took that as the highest possible 
compliment for his design.

"Acts of God" are certainly covered by most insurance.  If a tree blows down 
and crushes your car, your policy should pay for the repairs.  There may be 
some liability on the part of the tent company for not anticipating the "Act 
of God" and preparing their tents so they would not blow down.  Others may 
also have some negligence but, the policies on the individual cars should 
certainly cover the damage to those cars.

If these cars aren't restored at no cost to the owners, I'll guarantee that 
Russo Steele's numbers will go down for next year.  They are the ones that 
hired that tent outfit and should have been all over them and should have 
gotten creative like some of the other auction houses did.

I think you are referring to the thick black wire which runs the length of
the car from the battery to the starter.  What I did is called the supplier
who told me how much wire to buy and the kind.  I then ordered that at the
recommended length plus 1 foot.  If you don't want to just match the old
length then put your connection on the starter end and run the wire to your
battery the length of the car.  Cut the battery end to fit and solder on the
last connection.  Don't forget about the small piece you will need for your
cut of switch.

yup,  that's the one I want. can't get under my car right now, but want to
have the new cable ready when I can. That's why I would like the length.

I will solder on the starter connector, run the length of the car, pull
through the back bulkhead and then solder the battery end on.  Then I can
make up the short switch cable and I'll be good to go, when my car is back
on the road under it's own power sometime in late spring if all goes well
with the restoration :)

Message-ID: <173126441002101229pb90942eh731e1260c51d0586@mail.gmail.com>

Sorry to be asking so many Healey related questions on this site but here
goes:
I am trying to remove my heater on the BT7 so we can sandblast the under
dash area. What I want to know is:
are the phillip's head screws on the bottom braces screwed into the bulkhead
or are there nuts under the asbestos insulation on the engine side of the
firewall?  We have sprayed the piss out of the screws with rust breaker
stuff, but they will not release.

Any advise on how to remove the heater unit?  Also I would like a photo of
the bare trunk (boot) area. I removed the cover material and found a number
of holes and I can not figure out why they are there. maybe if I see some
examples  I figure out if they are needed or not.
Thanks

I'm wondering if this comparison is fair to the armstrong shocks?  Are you
comparing crapped out armstrongs to new bilsteins?



I bought a used Datsun 510 as my first car.  The front shocks didn't last
long.  If I hit and released the brakes a few times, I could get the car
hopping ... almost.  By comparison, the new mullholland(?) shocks that I
replaced them with were spectacular! :)

Well, since I wrote the quoted comment, here's the answer to your
question:  I first replaced the old stock shocks with rebuilt stock
shocks, wasn't happy,  then replaced them with the Bilsteins.

Ira,

There are captive nuts inside the box section plenum that runs across the 
base of the bulkhead. Heat the heads of those screws up to cherry red and 
they'll come right out.

Don't go anywhere near that car to media blast unless the entire car is 
being stripped off 100%. Sand or whatever the media will get EVERYWHERE, 
into wiring, bearings, mechanicals, rubber bushings, places you wouldn't 
dream it can go.

Why don't you send me pictures of the trunk area you're questioning and I 
can spot holes that shouldn't be there.

Message-ID: <348919.72536.qm@web50004.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Hi Ron,

Thanks for posting the link to the vintage Healey photos.  Those are
great pictures and so many in one convenient site.  

I thought I would
attempt to get us back onto a Healey topic - There is one photo of a clear
plexi-glass hard top (see: 
http://www.healeymeetslemans.nl/home.php?nb=his_fot&pagenr=32&alb=historie&im
g=2968&view=1) [page 33, row 2 column 2].  I've never seen a picture like this
or anything like this in any Healey event.  I am curious if anyone on the list
knows anything about the top, the manufacturer, why they would have made
something like this instead of using a factory top, etc.  It's cool in a very
strange sort of way.

Does anyone out there in our little universe have one of
these for their cars?  Inquiring minds want to know.

Cheers,
Carlos Cruz

I also have a BT7 that is back rolling without any engine or body panels
installed so can help you with any pictures you need. One thing that was a
huge help for me (other than the list) was the photo set that British Car
Specialists sells. Well worth the $$ as they have take pictures of areas
that the average home restorer will question.

Sorry to be asking so many Healey related questions on this site but here

I am trying to remove my heater on the BT7 so we can sandblast the under
dash area. What I want to know is:
are the phillip's head screws on the bottom braces screwed into the bulkhead
or are there nuts under the asbestos insulation on the engine side of the
firewall?  We have sprayed the piss out of the screws with rust breaker
stuff, but they will not release.

Any advise on how to remove the heater unit?  Also I would like a photo of

I don't need battery cables for my car but if I did I'd go to a welding supply
store.  They'll cut it to length and put the ends on it.  Might not satisfy
the purists but it will satisfy the pocketbook.

I teach at a vocational school and have access to a variety of shops to get
work done, so I have the ends from Norm Nock and we can buy bulk cable. I
found out that 106" will work

Message-ID: <4B743A26.6000202@summaventures.com>

For those who were following the Blue Don/Red Don discussion, I made an allusion
to one of the Don cars being used by the Morleys :

>From the fascinating "Healeys meet Le Mans" pages, this is Red DON (DON 799) in
the Alps on the 1961 Alpine Rally

http://www.healeymeetslemans.nl/home.php?nb=his_fot&pagenr=32&alb=historie&img=2976&view=1

I was wrong about the Morleys,it was just a bunch of journos, but...

A **VERY** interesting NOTE:

The same photo is reproduced in HervC) Chevalier's "Les Healey dans les Alpes"
1947-1967 Tome 2 Editions Barthelemy ISBN 2-912838-15-0 (2001) EXCEPT THAT
**there** it carries rally plates. The only conclusion would appear to be that
one has been ammended. I tend to the suggestion that either (i) there were a
series of photos of the same (exact) stretch of hairpin taken with the same car
and without plates or (ii) that the plates were removed in "photoshopping". I am
sure that no one did this deliberately but that it happened some time between
1961 and today.

My guess is that the original photo had the rally plates and someone 
"stripped them out" -- the predecessor to photoshop when you went in and masked or 
cut the negative -- so the pic could be used for general advertising 
purposes. Of course, the alternative explanation is that the car was running 
without the rally plates at that point, and in order to make the final photo 
useful for publicity purposes, someone stripped in the plate.   It's really 
amazing, when you see some of the original publicity pictures owned by e.g. 
Graham Robson, that have been in and out of various magazines, to see the crop 
marks, notations, and retouching that had been done for one purpose or 
another.

Is it leaking around the driveshaft flange or coming down the output flange
and leaking into the center of the flange.....if into the center of the
driveshaft flange, separate the driveshaft flange from the output shaft
flange and put some gasket sealer between the two.....

Hello,

I remember someone talked about the solution to the leak on the operating

G'day

This is not for a scam, nor will I arrange for a marauding Koala to visit your garage at night time 
and pinch your tool kit.

I am looking for a high resolution photo of a rolled out AH100 tool kit (with jack) to use in an 
article within our magazine.

If anyone has one would you be so kind to send it to me please?

Hello Listers!

Was catching up on some reading last night.  Read the excellent article in the Nov 2009 issue on the recreated Streamliner and Endurance car.  Injoyable reading and beautiful pictures!  Then a question came to me.  What became of the originals of these two cars?  As long as I have owned and followed Healey stuff I never have known this.  Answer?

G'day Keith

Both succumbed to the ravages of the salt and time. They were both also taken
back to the UK where the 100S engined Streamliner morphed into the 200mph
six-cylinder car.

There is an interesting story about when Carroll Shelby visited the Donald
Healey Motor Company looking for a suitable chassis in which to install a V8
engine. He was shown the rusting remains of the salt record cars, but they
were too far gone to be of use.

He was then sent in the direct of BMC and received a rejection there too. Then
he called on the Hurlock brothers at Auto Carrier (AC) and the rest is
history.

Just imagine what it would have been like if the AH chassis wasn't rusted away
or if BMC was more helpful?

First things first, I don't think Carroll Shelby would agree to the
Car Brand "Austin-Ford-Healey-Shelby"  and even if he did the bonnet
badge-wing would have to have been increased in width another 4 inches
to accommodate the name.  Then they would have put the Cobra in the
middle of the badge, so the Cobra would look like it had wings, which
meant that the bonnet badge would have been 15 inches wide and looking
like a Pterodactyl.

After some sales success I'm sure Shelby would insist on changing the
name of the company to the "Shelby-Healey-Austin-Ford Transport
Company" or SHAFT for short, then they could reduce the width of the
bonnet badge back to normal width.  Yes, that would have been great to
keep the marque successful through at least the mid 70's, no?

oh by the way, for the benefit of you being upside down in Australia,
let me re-pen the above as follows:

As long as we're again on the subject, does anybody have a list or a 
reference to a list of all the records DMH set?  That would include the 
day, speed and car when he joined the 200 MPH Club and those that still 
stand.

Many THX,

Patrick,

So both cars are gone?  Did DMH motor company toss them in the trash?  Both still in UK in really bad shape?  Who has them?  Are they both in buckets?  That is, where are they now?

Patrick,  I found this picture on Ebay.co.uk and it has expired but has a very
good picture that can be magnified.  It is half way down the page.

It doesn't say what model of Healey it is for.  Give it a try.

Most reports have them stripped and left to rot in the cape yard at  
Warwick.

G'day Keith

The DHMC never let anything go out the door unless it went as scrap to a scrap
merchant or was sold in excellent condition.

Their funds for these exploits came from BMC and accordingly they had to
account to Longbridge for each Quid spent. That included when costs and
projects were written off. Such accounting magic also included tax factors as
well.

There are however stories of scrap merchants who were not as scrupulous as
they should have been and major components were not scrapped, but used in the
construction of subsequent cars of dubious heritage.

For the record both were scrapped, but various components still exist and were
used in the two reconstructions.

If I told you any more I would have to shoot you.

Everyone,

I am already sending Patrick pictures of a 100% correct, all original 100
tool kit along with all the variations to include correct jack (one of
three) and correct lead hammer, again one of three hammers offered during
production plus the four different plies and two most common brands of
spanners.

Please, do not confuse him by sending him pictures of the CRAP offered on
eBay.   The tool rolls are WRONG and the tools at best are 30% correct.

Oh, and if anyone on the list is looking for a correct 100 tool kit, and
you're considering buying something offered on eBay, please contact myself ,
Rich or Roger before you waste your money!

Cheers,

Curt Arndt

Fellow Listers,
I'm trying to clean up the corrosion on the surface of the vacuum advance
diaphragm housing on my BJ7. It would be much easier if I could remove it from
the distributor. The distributor itself is in good shape. Have any of you done
that? What is involved? What should I be aware of?
Thanks for your help.

Elton, disconnect the vacuum hose if you haven't already, there should be a 
circlip or wire clip on the vernier fine adjustment wheel on the small end 
of the piece, remove this (without losing it if you can) and unscrew the 
vernier adjuster all the way off.  Take off the dist. cap and rotor, there 
is a spring that goes on a peg on the sliding plate the spring is what is 
connected to your diaphragm and adjusts your timing.  Anywho it just loops 
over a peg on the sliding plate, pull it off with a hooked wire or small 
screwdriver and the piece should just slide out.  Greg Lemon

Shelby had a long history of driving V8 powered sports cars before developing
the Cobra, including seat time in Allards and Max Balchowsky's Ol Yeller. 
Balchowsky is said to have done the first Healey V8 swap and there's an
interesting account of it here:  http://www.onlinebiographies.com/page11.html 
That swap was a Chevy 283 and was featured in Hot Rod magazine and inspired a
number of swaps over the years (including me)  Shelby first approached
Chevrolet for motors for his project, but was turned down there.  I imagine
they weren't interested in creating a possible Corvette beater.  The
introduction of the thin-wall Ford 260 V8 was perfect for Shelby's Cobra
creation.  The superintendent of Ford's Cleveland engine plant got a first
look at the new Ford V8 and figured out that it's narrow design would be a
good fit in a Healey and did a swap that was shown in Hot Rod in 1963.  So
there was certainly a lot of opportunities for a Cobra Healey to
 be created, although I think Healey's contractural obligations with BMC was a
stumbling block.

Just imagine what it would have been like if the AH chassis wasn't rusted

Without checking I think that the horn has the top fuse to itself and
everything else that is actually fused shares the bottom fuse.
I'd certainly fuse the overdrive and the mess of lights in the boot. The
overdrive electrics are expensive and seem obscure and illogical until one
has a very thorough idea of how it all works, so you don't need trouble
there. The wiring to/in the boot is prone to damage and shorts. Both burn
nicely.

Hi, Jack -
I found the single fuse (the upper one) that feeds five different circuits
to be a nuisance.  When it blows, it takes all five circuits out and
requires some trial and error to figure out which circuit is the culprit.  I
added a 4-fuse block under the dash to separate the five circuits (wipers,
tach/fuel gauge, heater blower, brake lights, turn signals) into individual
fuses for each, leaving only one circuit connected to the original upper
fuse on the firewall.
For overdrive, license plate light, and driving lights I used in-line fuses.

Jack,
You could start with a central modernish fuse block from e.g. a VW 
Golf/Rabbit or any other suitable 70's or 80's car with a compact and 
simple fuse/relay box and start from there. The manual of that car will 
indicate the circuits that are covered by the fuses. Another advantage 
is that you also have several relays neatly fitted to be used for the 
heavy users like the head lights, auxilary lights, heater fan, cooling 
fan, wipers etc.
I have done it in the past on a Landrover and a Triumph spitfire which 
have similar wiring looms.
Of course this will mean a rather involved adaptation of the present 
wiring looms and you will not win any concours contest, but it is a 
practical way to keep the car on the road without to much worries about 
the wiring and if things go wrong the problem can be located easily.

John,

Are you looking to repair a shroud?  I have a BT7 shroud in poor condition which has been hacked up a bit in a repair.  Will make the whole shroud available very cheap if you are interessted.  I could have the pieces you need that could be cut out.

John,
I have never bought shrouds from Moss & never will.  My experiences with Moss
have been much less than satisfactory.  Most of their parts are made off shore
(i.e.: Asia) & are of poor quality materials & workmanship.  On the positive
side, their catalogs/parts diagrams are very useful for reassembly, when you
have forgotten how things go back together.
I would look more to GB for the parts you are looking for.  Keep in mind that
the cheapest parts are not necessarily the best & you will no doubt pay more
for them in the end.  I do have experience in this.

Aluminium is very malleable and can be shaped . I would suggest you consider
repairing your shroud. We have done this many times successfully . I would be
happy to review some pictures offline.
I f you wish to purchase the parts from Moss, I suggest you inquire if the
parts are hand formed or stamped parts. The hand formed parts can be difficult
to fit.

Message-ID: <939651.18738.qm@web53001.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

In 1989 I attended Conclave and heard Geoff Healey tell an audience that the
Streamline cars were destroyed under his supervision with some parts buried in
the ground. He said there were no remaining parts of these cars.He said he did
this because of the salt damage. He thought that Bill Woods had the glass
bubble top and was using it as a planter. He advised the audience to be
suspicious of any original stream line parts existing.
I found this sad that such iconic cars would have been destroyed when so many
record setting salt flat cars of the same era had been saved. I am glad that
Steve Pike and his crew have replicated the concept.His effort is to be
commended.

Hello;



I am restoring my BJ7.  What color should the trim (weatherstripping) around
the doors be?  I'm doing the car with a navy blue interior.  Please correct me
if I'm wrong.  One piece starts on the fender and goes up the windshield post.
The other piece starts at the top of the door in the front and goes out onto
the quarter panel in the rear.  What is the correct color for these two
pieces?

Does anyone have written instructions for replacing the top?  I'd like to get
a hold of a copy.

Under the seat runners there are two "packing pieces".  Do these go on top of
the carpet or under it?  I have some 3/8" plexiglass that I was going to make
them out of.  Anyone see a problem with that?

The car will never be a show winner but I am trying to make it appear as
original as possible.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Frank- 
I have an early BJ7- The weatherstrip on mine is different than on later production cars. The material used between the vent windows and windscreen pillar is unique. I can email pix if you contact me off list. 


I also have some pix of the of the top disassembly, few of reassembly. Maybe if I ask John Sims nicely, he'll post them on his website.

Frank,

The door pillar to fender flange was woven grey. The door seal running as 
you describe would have been dark navy blue to go along with your interior.

Frank:

The trim(weatherstripping) on a BJ7 goes from the top edge of the posts down
to the fender line and a separate peice of about four inches in length
attaches to the lip of the fender. These two separate pieces are fawn in
colour. I do not believe the original material is still available but a
close/acceptable trim is available from MacGregor British Car Parts and
originally it was riveted to the windshield posts but the new stuff holds very
well without being riveted.

The other weatherstripping starts where the weatherstrip of the door finishes
and goes all the way to the top of the rear panel for about two inches and is
finished with a metal clip, it is, in your case dark blue in colour, again
available from the same source as above.

As for the top there are two different tops with the BJ7, the early top has
two fasteners holding the rear window and the later one has a zipper much like
the BJ8, I will send you a separate e-mail that describe how to install the
top with illustrations.

The packing pieces are made of wood, about 1/4" thick and are mounted against
the metal plate that is against the tarpaper on the floor. Your carpet is cut
around the packing pieces, it does not go underneath.

Here is something which I copied some time back. I don't know whose recipe
it was but anyhow:-
QUOTE
Waxoyl is a rust protectant that you brush on the metal to keep it from
oxidizing.  I copied this recipe for it. I think it came from the Spridget
list.
Here is a recipe for home made Waxoyl. Its an old fashioned rust
treatment / undercoating:
2 = quarts turpentine
12 oz. beeswax / candle wax
1 quart light machine oil

With a cheese shredder, cut the wax into the turpentine, stir until the wax
has dissolved, (takes a long time; you can use very low heat (a warm room)
to aid but be careful) and thin with the machine oil to a brushable
/sprayable consistency. Apply liberally. You can use a hand spray bottle to
get into closed-off sections if you have a small access hole.
Please be sensible when you make this stuff; dont go breathing the fumes or
applying heat and burning down your house. If you have any doubts about it,
err on the side of caution and just buy a commercially available product.

John and all,

I used the commercialy available stuff on my  BN7 when doing the resto.  Since
I had damaged bracket areas on the front of the main rails (and had to
replace) and also replaced the inner sills, I did a treatment.  Thought you
might benefit from my technique so here it is.

First I used a 14 or so foot long pipe, split it for about 1-2 inches on one
end, and bent the pieces back to form a crude scraping tool.    Got out a
moderate amount of crud.  Then flushed out the rest with water hose with car
set on a severe angle.  Allowed to dry for a couple days.

I scavenged the spray tip from a 1 or 2 gallon spray insecticide container.
Attached it to a 12ft or so length of rubber hose.  Worked the hose/tip all
the way into the rails.  Keeping the Waxoyl warmed on the stove is a must for
good flow.  After adding the product to the spray container you just spray as
you withdraw the tube.  Repeat a time or two.

How well did it cover?  Who knows.  Some product did come out a couple of the
seams and holes but somewhere up in there is a gallon of Waxoyl!!!

 I'm going to replace the front sway bar bushings on my '58 BN4, but the Moss

 Carlos,

I've also been intrigued by the plexiglass dome ever since Chris Harvey's book
"Healey-The Handsome Brute" came out in 1978.  The shot in the picture site to
which you refer is from that book (page 164).

There is another picture of this dome in the recent (2004) Bill Piggot book
"Haynes Great Cars: Austin-Healey" on page 79.  This time its seen on a
four-seat six cylinder car.  There are detail differences from the one on the
100 in the other picture.  Bill calls it a "Plexidome", which rolls off the
tongue nicely, but if you look carefully at the shot there is no "L" on the
logo decal on the top.  So it is the rather more awkward "Pexidome".

Bill also repeats Harvey's hearsay comment "they yellowed with age".  This may
or may not be true ( there was a transparent Plymouth, or something, built for
a motor show in the forties which has survived, and I think that has yellowed
somewhat ).    However, as a 20-year long Messerschmitt bubblecar
http://tinyurl.com/gtbqf  driver myself, I can assure you that the domes which
have survived on cars since the early fifties haven't yellowed at all.  Maybe
its the composition of the material.  These domes are being remade now and can
cost two thousand dollars plus crating and shipping from Europe.

I can testify that its a delightful experience to drive under a transparent
top.  Its very bright and open, yet you're completely protected. Looking up
and seeing the rain or snow come down directly at you is really quite a neat
sensation.  Inside, the motor sounds are amplified a bit under the hard
plexiglass surface, and its probably not the top for southern climes (although
the 'Schmitt came with a clip-on white linen sunshade and ventilator wings-
and it was fine on a hot day).

Bubble tops have always held a fascination for me.  They symbolized our
wonderful, exciting "future" of the fifties, which never materialized.  WW II
fighters, the 1966 Batmobile, Ed Roth and Gene Barris creations, and the many
American futuristic show cars like GM's Firebirds  (I actually got to sit in
Firebird III).

There may be a small advert in amongst the Autocar and Motor magazines of the
fifties for the Pexidome, but I haven't come across it yet.

I have attached the two Pexidome pictures for you, Carlos.

Besr regards
Peter

Josef,

I forget that I live in SoCal where it's currently sunny, 71 degrees, 50%
humidity and not a cloud to be seen, and visibility at the local airport 50+
miles...  and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere is now in the grips of
Global Warming :-^)

Too cold to lay down on a cold cement floor in the garage and measure.

I stand corrected, warm, but corrected.

Cheers

Curt

Wow !  How do you keep doing that, Scott ?  You can always come up with just
the right thing from the most obscure sources.  Amazing.  Thanks.

Sheesh !   That throwaway Pexidrome article !  The main thing was to start
with an attitude- (as in These Tops Were Crap) and then fill in the so-called
facts to suit the slant of the article.
"quite apart from the fumes that would gather inside the unventilated
Pexidome"
Now how different is this "unventilated" hardtop from any other factory
hardtop from any car company since the dawn of time ??  Do all these other
hardtops have some secret ventilation systems that we never heard about ?  ( I
know, the racing Healeys borrowed the Austin van ventilators, but that doesn't
count).  Did the writer just pull "introduced at the beginning of 1962" just
out of the hat , when the advert is clearly dated June 1958 ?

Here I thought David Burgess-Wise was a reputable automotive writer, not just
a hack.

Unventilatedly yours,
Peter

Subject: [Healeys] making waxoyl
Message-ID: <80B09B13E8784E0D84915BCE2E13AFE2@rac>

Hi All,

Although this is not directly related to the formulation of Waxoyl, it may be
of interest to some.

A while back, a friend who was into Healeys and sundry other LBCs, used to
create a mixture of coal tar and kerosene (proportions ?) as a preservative.
He would drill a few holes in the top and bottom of each separate frame member
and plug the bottom holes with rubber plugs.  After carefully fill the
cavities with the mixture, he would plug the top holes and drive in a figure
eight for a number of cycles, occasionally slowing and accelerating.
Following his brief drive, he would pull the bottom plugs and drain the fluid.
Over a few day period, he would occasionally replace the plugs, do a number of
figure eights, and remove the plugs to drain any remaining mixture from the
frame.  Finally, he would allow the car to stand, with all plugs removed, for
a number of week to allow as much of the kerosene to evaporate before
replacing all plugs.

Although the smell lingered for a while, I believe the mixture did penetrate
into all internal areas of the frame and initially produced a thin moisture
resistant coating, however, I am unsure of its preservation longevity.  Even
though I was tempted to try this protective approach, I never did as I feel
this coating could create a dangerous condition, within some period following
initial application, should a repair be required involving a weld.

All the best,
Ray Carbone

Up in Niseko Japan right now, tons of snow.  Hong Kong very cold this
year also.

Some theories kicking around that China has kicked out so much
pollution in the last 5 years that SO2 is getting into the
stratosphere and cooling things down like a large Volcano would.

Apparently you can fix global warming for about $150 MILLION, look up
Intellectual Ventures funded by Bill Gates... psst don't tell the
politicians because they just want to spend TRILLIONS of your tax
dollars to fix!

I had two or three breaks down recently with the Jags (E and 120). I 
pulled to the side of the road and fixed it immediately.
With nowaday cars, you don't even know what's wrong with their magic

my BN4, which is showing a lot of fine brass bits brass bits in the oil pan
during the oil change. I also have 2 HD8 carbs, but I need a new float
chamber for the front carb, as the one I have is the same as is on the rear
carb. 

 I also need the carb linkage parts to complete the "kit". I know this has
been done many times out there, so I'm looking for the tech info and the
parts to accomplish this project. Looking through the Moss and VB catalogs,
many of the parts are not available, and the drawings are difficult for me
to visualize the actual arrangement on the engine, so if someone has a
picture or two of the carbs that would be very helpful also. The pics in
the Anderson & Clausinger books don't show the linkage. 

 Thanks in advance, and think spring! 

 Gordy

Very true, but the new cars are much less likely to break down in the 
first place.
Of course while you're driving them, you're not having anywhere near 
as much fun!

A very effective anti-rust treatment is a mixture of raw linseed oil, 
turpentine and lead-oxide primer. Very good penetration in rust scale. 
Used extensively on sea going vessels.

Ray,

Given the way these cars are used nowadays, with the amount of effort, stink, and fire potential as you pointed out - this seems like an overkill to me.

There are 'O' rings on both ends. Replace both.

However, these points rarely leak. Look for another source, like the plug on

the operating valve.

Rick,

Check out eBay item #280460143163. $269.98 for a soft cover copy of
Clausager's "The Original Austin-Healey"!! Midlifeclassiccarbooks has a
new copy (the other one is used) for a mere $249.00. Are there really
people out there who pay this much?? Guess I should have Christies (?)
auction my hard copy starting at a mil!!

Doug,

Just saw Midlife has a BIN of $450 for a copy of the Restoration Guide.  I had
no idea the prices of these had climbed so high.  They get any more expensive,

What also makes me laugh is I will go to a live general auction and someone 
will want to sell a copy of a book and they will print out a copy of the 
Ebay auction with the wishful price on it and say that's where we should 
start the bidding.  Sad thing is I have seen people stupidly paying more 
than the price on the printout...

I've got a copy of Geoff's book, "The Specials", signed by the author,
DMH,Bic,  Gerry Coker and Roger Menadue.  Figure that's gotta be worth a 100S
or two.  Barring that, "From my cold dead hands."  I wonder if the rise in
value of the Restoration Guide" has anything to do with the increased value of
a well restoredd Healey and a desire by restorers/sellers to do it right. 
Maybe the price of the book gets rolled into the restoration.  Interestingly,
I checked on prices of Bill Emerson's book, which is a higher end production,
and they don't seem to have risen as much.  It would be nice if Gary and Roger
were reaping the benefits of all their hard work, but I suspect not  Maybe
Gary can check in from his villa in Cabo later.

So my signed specisl Ediyion Emmerson is not worth as much as my  
unsigned Anderson? Wow sounds like baseball cards all over again. Just

Sorry on both counts: We don't have a secret stash of additional copies of
our book and Motorbooks refuses to reprint it any longer; they said the
number of copies ordered each month wasn't enough for them to continue justify
the storage space for a minimum number of copies to be printed.

However, there is a solution: Just order the Concours Registry guidelines
from Mike Osipik for $20 ($25 outside U.S.). They have all the information
contained in our original book, come on a CD so you can either reference on
the computer or print out the parts you need, and include numerous pics of
original cars and components. In addition, they include many, many updates
that
Roger has added to the Guidelines since we adapted the book from them in
2000. Info: Mikeosipk@ earthlink.net 816-333-2506.

S'all for now.

Be sure not to tell anybody, but as far as the text is concerned it's 
wrapped around our Concours Guidelines circa late '90's edition, but with 
continuity and flow. If you send for the current Concours Guidelines CD 
you'll get more text, though it doesn't flow into nice paragraphs like the 
book does. Also there is much more added than was known back then. Not the 
same pictures, but plenty of new ones showing different details and aspects 
of the cars, and they're in colour.
At $25, it's quite a good buy. I copy mine into double sided book form and 
refer to it constantly along with my copy of the Anderson/Moment restoration 
book.

I have signed editions of all Burt Levy's books, too, but Burt has told me he's signed so many of them, it's the unsigned ones that are the collector's items.Then again, that could just be Burt being Burt.

Signed books are only worth half as unsigned.  Unsigned is "New old stock",
signed books are marked/used. Its like with cars. When a new car is
registered, its only worth half of the price when new.

And we have next to no snow this year.  It just doesn't feel right.  You guys
that sell stuff on ebay should be trying to sell your snow to the winter
olympics people.  They are trucking and airlifting it in.



That pollution that you refer to is probably very poorly made cheap stuff and
won't last anywhere near as long as the stuff that our craftsmen make.

Rick,

I've been to the JAX area a couple of times and highly recommend visiting
the Okeefenokee (sp) swamp 30 miles northwest just across the Georgia line.
It should be a national park, but isn't for some reason. Airboat and kayak
tours are available.

 

A little closer to Amelia Island is Cedar Key on the coast which was also
interesting but may be no more interesting than Amelia itself.

Hello all;   A friend and I were buying 10 wheels and 5 tires w/tubes & liners
from
British Wire Wheel. We did not lose any money but finally gave up and bought
our wheels from Dayton Wheel.

I would think that the least they could do is provide some kind of notice as
to their being closed. It would also be nice to know if this is permanent or
possibly temporary.
Have a great day.

because of this incident. I had 5 Dunlop B5 tires and 5 Classico tubes on
order with BWW. Not sure if there are others in the group with the same
situation as I have, money paid but no product, but thought you should know.

Not certain the closing is official so I'm sending this to you and not
doing a list alert. Don't want a lawsuit, just my tires and tubes or my
money back!

I am attempting to identify a British water pump with the following

Hello Larry,

 

I actually thought of using Loctite 518 to seal the surfaces - Hylomar is
not quite available here in Poland..

 

What do you think?

Tedek,  I see no one has replied to your question.  I am assuming your
talking about the two body halves.  Hylomar is used to seal the metal to
metal mating surfaces of the housing halves.  The secret to Hylomar is to
not put it on too thin and let it dry completely.  Apply it to both surfaces
and add additional amount to any area that looks too thin after it dries
completely.  It can't be too dry because it never hardens completely.

I hope this helps.

Many thanks for all replys - the OD is being rebuild - is there anything
special about sealing it?
 
Thanks, Tadek

There are 'O' rings on both ends. Replace both.
 
However, these points rarely leak. Look for another source, like the plug on
 
the operating valve.

Hello,

Is there a chance anyone could take pictures with a measuring tape of the

I understand they are 3 bolts in the front and 2 in the rear.

Rick,

I've been to the JAX area a couple of times and highly recommend visiting
the Okeefenokee (sp) swamp 30 miles northwest just across the Georgia line.
It should be a national park, but isn't for some reason. Airboat and kayak
tours are available.

 

A little closer to Amelia Island is Cedar Key on the coast which was also
interesting but may be no more interesting than Amelia itself.

Couldn't figure out who sent the email about losing his credit card deposit.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING!

I'm not a lawyer, but I believe it is illegal to charge a credit card for
undelivered goods. I have used my credit card as a deposit with the
understanding that the charge will not go in until the goods or service is
delivered. If British Wire Wheel charged your card as a deposit you just
have to call you card company and they will take care of it.

BTW, I don't remember reading any article about buying on eBay that doesn't
recommend paying by credit card. eBay and PayPal are notorious for non
communication. If you have paid by credit card the company is on your side
and you don't have to bother with the convoluted and obscure system of
getting your money back through them.

Motels and hotels often charge your credit card when you make reservations, way before you actually stay there.  In my strange reasoning ability, I see this as the same thing.

BTW, what is the issue with British Wire Wheels?  I have been off line for a month and haven't caught up with the news----yes--Ed--I know--check the archives:)  VBG

This is a hard question to ask as the people that make the two products that 
I am comparing are on this list. At least one is. I am sure that both of 
their products are high quality. But one may be better than the other. I 
have been looking into the bumbers sourced by AH-Spares, and the bumpers 
sourced by Autofarm.net. Both parts are made in the UK, but I understand are 
not the same part.

If anyone has a constructive comment as to what may be the best choice based 
on closest to original, please contact me directly.

Thanks,

Dave,

I have done business with AH spares for years and they are good folks.  I
recently got an email from them describing how they have retooled to produce
the 100 bumper in one piece and from the original gauge metal.

They stated that they had already done the same for the six cylinder cars.
Sounds good to me and I'd like to hear from anyone with feed back on these
new items.

Go to www.amazon.co.uk and type in "original austin healey" into the on-site

Yes, but will the bumper have the nice crisp lines along the center
indentation like the original.  The Moss repros that I bought do not.  I'm
not happy with them and would buy a repro replacement if they could get it
to look right with a close to original thickness.

u2347 at wvnvm.wvnet.edu and tomkayb at verizon.net are both obsolete.  The AHCA
website has been undergoing some significant revisions recently, and there
have been changes in registrars for some registries as well.  The names and
e-mail addresses given on the AHCA registries webpage have not been updated
yet.

The current address For Tom and the BJ7 Registry is tomkayb at comcast.net

Len,

I received an email from Tom 3 weeks ago and his email address is 
tomkayb at comcast.net

This certainly needs to be changed on the AHCA web site. Thanks for 
supporting the Registries.

Sorry, I got the e-address wrong for Thomas L. Blaskovics.  I've contacted the

Mike,

I don't know, but why don't you email AH Spares and ask them.  Maybe they'll
send you a photo so you can see for yourself.

Sounds to me like a move in the right direction, a one piece pressing *with
the thickness of the original*.  One would think that with all this effort
they'd get the shape correct too, or why bother.

Oh... and AH Spares is not Moss, and it's most likely because of the poor
quality of the Moss bumpers that AH Spares has invested in new tooling.

Just make sure the curvature of the rear bumper matches the curvature of the 
body when viewed straight down from above. That's the most glaring fault of 
all.

John,
I bought mine at Cape. Perfect fit. These things are so well hidden that you
can afford to make them fit by fair means or foul. As to "correct looking",
my new ones looked like a better version of the original than the one
original that was on the car. And now they are so slathered in Hammerite and
Waxoyl that it doesn't matter anyway!

Listers --

We've been offered a BN1 gearbox/OD unit (been sitting for years, condition
unknown) as part trade for some stuff my partner is selling.

Any idea how many $ credit we should allow the seller?  I'd like to have a
spare in case the one from my car proves to have problems when we get the car
running, but we don't want to give up too much cash.

My Moss bumper certainly does not have the curvature of the original in the
picture.  It's quite a bit straighter through the center.  Looks like time

Yes, that's the typical problem, which is why I mentioned it. They are often
so bad the licence lamp is touching the body.

Sarah,

Condition unknown means it could well be worth nothing if you have broken 
gears (not uncommon). The gears that break are not available. The gearbox 
should be given a thorough internal visual (side cover off and turn gears 
slowly and examine with a good strong light) before making any deal.

Amelia. They can be rare, unusual, beautiful or all of the above.. Bill  
Emerson's 1948 Westland Healey will be one of the featured cars this year. It is  
time for someone else to enjoy the fun.  See _www.healeywestland.com_ 
(http://www.healeywestland.com)  and click on the  RM Auctions link upper left 
corner.  Note: as sometimes happens with web  .JPGs, what looks like a 
"dented" front wing on the home photo is not true.  Check out photo 10 for a 
pristine look. The car is absolutely perfect -- thanks  again, Steve Pike et al.

I have received requests to handle payment and receipt of funds by PayPal.
Haven't used it for years and have heard disparaging remarks about PayPal of

Paypal is owned by Ebay.  If you do the occasional transaction it won't cost 
you much, but if you do volume transactions , then they will take I believe 
3.5% of the transaction.

Gale,
I am using Paypal several times a week to pay or be paid to and from all 
over the world for about 10years. Paying is free but the receiving party 
pays around 4%. Never had any issues. It is the cheapest and safe way to 
pay internationally.
Cheques, if they still exist somewhere, are unsafe, bothersome and 
expensive and are, I think, only widely used in the Anglo Saxon world. 
They are not used anymore in many countries.
International money tranfer by the bank is prohibitively expensive.
I think Paypal is safe, instantly and very conveniant to use.

I agree with Rich certainly about finding out as much as you can about the 
condition of the box before purchase, but I would acquire it if you can get 
it for anywhere near a reasonable price, there are very few parts available 
for these gearboxes new, many things besides gears you may need for a 
rebuild, shift forks, some of the not so easy find nuts bolts and fasteners, 
the casings sometimes weaken and crack with age, then you have the O/D bits 
you are acquiring too.  Hard to price, but under $200 or so I would pounce, 
and over that would think about it depending what you can find out about 
condition.

Gale, I have used PayPal for eBay purchases, renew club memberships, 
transfer money to friends for private transactions, sold a motorbike on 
eBay, paid for items bought on-line, all with no problem.  However, I have 
heard people say they have had issues and I run across the occasional eBay 
seller who will not use them, but I have never heard the specific reasons 
for the problem or been able to judge who was at fault.  My own experience 
with PayPal over about 8 years or so (going back to before eBay bought them) 
has been great.

Read their promotion on the website.
Available Soon - Re-manufactured BN1 Three Speed Gear Sets
http://www.ahead4healeys.co.uk/

If this turns out, it coild solve a lot of our three speed problems,
especially for those older gearboxes under number 5,1##,  that had the weak
gear sets.  I have three, 3-speed boxes, and one is the older unit that is
suspect.

Like both Rich and Roger, I'm a fan of this funky relic and have no desire
for a 4 speed.

Cheers,

The thing about those gear sets is that apparently they are different gears,
metric sizes that therefore must be fitted in complete sets. This of course
will make the total bill quite costly. None the less, if they are available it
will certainly be good news for those who can afford them. Can there be enough
of a wealthy market base to make the project worthwhile? I hope so.
Unfortunately there will be those who read the total bill, and will instead
opt for something made by Toyota.

Message-ID: <SNT133-w6491A3840784A960C6EF9DC5480@phx.gbl>

Since we have 2ft of snow outside, I thought I might try to complete this
winter project on my Longbridge BN4. I need to install the right hand shock
mounting plate on top of my replacement Kilmartin shock tower. I was lucky to
have an OEM shock plate RH 1B8839 (adaptor-suspension housing) in my parts
inventory, now all I need to do is to properly install it on the shock tower.
I have Norm Nocks p 167 from his Tech Talk which suggests creating the do
it yourself camber gauge. What other recommendations does anyone have to
make this project run smoothly? TIA for any and all assistance  Jim Lesher

You definitely have to look inside and see if there are any broken
teeth.  I have two spare BN1 boxes and two A90 boxes acquired over the
years.  Always check the teeth, and also rust if kept in a humid
climate like Texas.

Ahead4Healeys is in the process of having a run of new gears made for the BN1
gearbox. I think for a gearbox in unknown condition, complete with O/D, all
casings with no signs of cracks, around USD 500,00 to 600,00 would be a fair
price.

Sarah,

Condition unknown means it could well be worth nothing if you have broken
gears (not uncommon). The gears that break are not available. The gearbox
should be given a thorough internal visual (side cover off and turn gears
slowly and examine with a good strong light) before making any deal.

Gale, I have used PayPal for eBay purchases, renew club memberships, 
transfer money to friends for private transactions, sold a motorbike on 
eBay, paid for items bought on-line, all with no problem.  However, I have 
heard people say they have had issues and I run across the occasional eBay 
seller who will not use them, but I have never heard the specific reasons 
for the problem or been able to judge who was at fault.  My own experience 
with PayPal over about 8 years or so (going back to before eBay bought them)

has been great.

That is probably the best advice - "use at your own risk".  Although most of 
us seem to have a good experience, and I think PayPal obviously want to 
provide a good service as they make a bundle on it, something can always go 
wrong.  All but a few of my purchases are <$100, so it is not the end of the 
world if one goes south, and I have always accepted that.

PayPal and eBay are two companies that are great if nothing is wrong. They
keep their phone numbers a secret (there are 800 numbers), but when you need
help on a bad transaction (would you believe that there are crooks selling
on eBay?), they make sure that it is almost impossible to get relief.

Some companies look great until you call customer service, then the fun
begins.

I use PayPal a lot and they are great when you don't need them.

Yep.  I had a really hard time getting paid because I didn't want to give
them my bank account number.  Plus they wanted to keep my money for 21 days.
Somehow I had the nerve to question someone using my money for 21 days for
free.  I spent many hours trying to get someone on the phone.  My experience
eventually led me to www.paypalsucks.com

Like anything else, some of these complaints are legit and some aren't...but
it does open your eyes to some of the potential pitfalls.

Never again.

I gave them a bank account I only use for auctions and Ebay and I get my 
money in 2 days worse case.  Paypal does work really well, but my gripe is 
Ebay forces you to use them and between auctions and Paypal, they get 13% of 
my sale.

Message-ID: <20100217162759.13332.qmail@hoster902.com>

These look like really good carbs for the price. Adapting them to a custom setup will be a project. They look like series 1 E-type carbs.

You can cannibalize your HD6 float bowls and their caps to work with these carbs. The push-pull choke rod may need to be replaced or lengthened. The steel fuel line between the carbs may not fit so you may need to get the 90 degree banjo the BJ8 uses. Or the setup shown may work if you cut the fuel pipe and join with fuel hose.
The throttle shafts are the same diameter as the HD6s so you may elect to use your existing linkage.

The biggest issue I can see is the choke linkage. I was comparing my HD6s with my spare HD8 and the jet carrier casting appears to be the same, but the shaft for the 8 choke lever is a different length so you can't just move the whole bottom from the 6 to the 8.

The choke levers are on the right side as opposed to the left on the BJ8 - so however you do it, the choke setup's going to be custom. For a while I had the choke on only one carb and my car started fine, choking the rear carb only.

If you don't want to do all this, maybe Joe Curto would swap out the bottoms.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

        I had a bad experience of Paypal  when they allowed a bogus Co. to
relieve me of #108.00.

         It was only due to my bank  making good the deficit that I was
reimbursed.

         Trying to contact Paypal  was a total waste of time.

EBay forces sellers to use them because they own PayPal, and make money from 
the sale and by holding it on deposit, like a bank.

One other bit of advice for using PayPal as a buyer is to use your credit 
card for payment - not automatic bank transfer, which PayPal has set its 
default to do. You can find "other payment method" or such in the fine 
print, check it and then use your back up credit card account for payment. 
The advantage is you then have your credit card company in the act for 
normal buyer's protection, and are not just relying on PayPal and eBay.

FWIW

transactions. Customer service is now virtual and if you are not reasonably
computer literate you are in trouble.  Decent people are being replaced by
ignorant computers.  Computers are dumb and only do what they are told to do.
But people are smart and can tell dumb computers to do things they are not
supposed to do. BUYER BEWARE .....

When things work fine people tend to
assume they always will.  When they do not and you have parted with your money
it is difficult to get it back as there are very few people/phone numbers
there to help you, and, the receiver does not want to give it back - usually.
Thats why lawyers will always have a job.....

Good advice may be buy things
one by one and avoid large online transactions - minimize your exposure.

Show me any other company that can get you the international exposure  
for your product, let you accept credit cards, find you a buyer, and  
protect your money for less than "13%"

It ain't gonna happen. It's a huge bargain.

I agree 110% that as a buyer use a credit card. The Credit Card Company 
is a much
  better protector than PayPal.

I have 2 PayPal accounts and one is used only to pay with PayPal, only
if no alternative is available and uses a credit card.

The other has been "restricted" for over 3 years.  What is interesting
is that after reading the new modified terms of service I would not
agree and sign then, so they restricted it.   I ended up sending
certified mail to my bank ( Credit Union) to deny them access to my
account.  So that account will exist in perpetuity  because I can not
even close it without agreeing to the new terms.  So I had to open a new
account using a CC only, as such I'm not verified.  The Credit Card
associated with that original account has expired.

PayPal has lots of protections... For themselves, no one else.    So I'm
not "Verified".  Who would that help?  Only them as then they can take
the money directly from my account and then I would have to battle to get
it back.

Buyer&  Seller Beware.

Exactly why I had trouble with them...'Not verified'.  They kept whining
about not being 'verified'.  I kept trying to get someone there to tell me
exactly what that meant and never could get an answer.  All they kept saying
was we need all of this personal information, bank account numbers, etc.
etc.  I told them no way was I going to give them this info, just send me a
check.  They would not do it and I eventually had to open a temporary
account at the bank.  Then I closed it as soon as I got my money.
Ridiculous!  I'm not about to maintain a separate account just so Paypal can
use it.  Especially after they hold my money for 3 weeks.

Doesn't pass the smell test in my book.

for 'unchecking bank acct funding': go to 'my acct', 'profile', 'more
options', 'paylist', 'set available funding sources', and then 'uncheck bank
acct'.
folks, all this aint easy to find so if you want to do that, make a
note of this; also, make sure your credit card info is up-to-date ( mainly
exp. date); note that you cannot eliminate the bank acct number from PayPal
info--you can't have a PayPal acct without giving it to them; so, have it or
have not.
Guess if they don't like it they will advise you; also, any email
from them WILL have your full name in it--if not, it is Plish

I've done hundreds of Paypal transactions, never been cheated.

A couple of times I've had account problems, never had a problem
talking to a Paypal agent, they always fixed my problems, service no
better or worse than Visa or Mastercard.

I think a few years ago phone service was non-existent, it seems to be
better now.

OK, I am ready to seam seal and checked the archives for advice but I have additional questions.

I plan on sealing the obvious seams in the cockpit and trunk and the corresponding seams underneath the Healey.

Are people sealing the horizontal seams on the sills that face the pavement? Or are people leaving them unsealed to promote drainage and drying? Any other sealing advice?

Thank you!

Just did this on our BN2. I sealed seams on the top side--cockpit, boot, etc.--and left them open underneath. The idea is to keep water from seeping in, going with gravity, on the top and to let it flow out, again, going with gravity on the bottom. IMO, seam sealer on the underside is like undercoating; since no sealant is perfect forever the sealer just becomes a means to trap water.

Two questions please:

On the chrome ashtray there is a spring holding the lid, one end attaches to
the lid bracket, where does the other end go, I have a hole in the ash tray
body, does it just hook in the hole or should there be a small pin that might
have disappeared when I had my chrome done?



If a radio is not fitted, what does the cover plate look like, is it just
vinyl covered with the 3000 flash on, and does it have an edging trim?

In my ash tray there is a "hook" in the bottom to connect the spring.
The cover plate on the dash is vinyl covered, has the "3000 Flash" and
is trimmed in chrome.

Hi, Andy -
There is a pin at the lower end of the ash tray cover spring, to which the
spring is attached.
I know what the radio blanking plate looks like, but not in enough detail to
describe it correctly to you so I'll leave that to Rich and the original
configuration experts.

Cheers!

I respectfully disagree with this thought Bob. The seam sealers we have 
available today aren't the same ones that cracked and fell out of our cars 
the first time around, some 45 years ago. A good smooth fillet of sealer 
between under floor and chassis that takes paint is going to keep that 
moisture out.

Andy,

Answer to #2 question.....The blanking plate is trimmed with the same vinyl 
as the console and sits framed by a rectangular chrome surround. The 3000 
emblem is fitted to the face of the vinyl and a push nut holds it against a 
bridging bracket on the back side.

You mean fill all the seams and cracks under the car? I'll take your word for it Rich, but I'm not comfortable with the idea. I think any compound--paint, sealer or otherwise--will be compromised eventually and trap water. But, I'll certainly defer to your experience.

I respectfully disagree with this thought Bob. The seam sealers we have 
available today aren't the same ones that cracked and fell out of our cars 
the first time around, some 45 years ago. A good smooth fillet of sealer 
between under floor and chassis that takes paint is going to keep that 
moisture out.

When the car is painted only little primer/paint will end up in (these 
lower) seams. Using the correct type of Waxoil, Tectyl or similar in the 
cavities will also protect most seams and if you apply some externaly on 
the seams you have 100% coverage. It has a high penetration in the seams 
and if applied properly (just a mist will do) will not crack. Make sure 
no water can be trapped in cavities by drilling 1/2" holes in the lowest 
points (front and rear) and remove the ex- and  internal burs. In most 
cars these holes are already present or there are raised parts in the 
welding flanges of the seam to create a channel. Insert a suitable bar 
in the hole and move the bar backwards to lower the front of the hole 
and raise the rear. This creates a slight vacuum on the move and will be 
the cause of some air circulation in the cavity.
Clear these holes or channels regularly to keap them open. Repeat the 
Waxoil treatment every 2 years or so.

How could you think such things (shock & horror), doesn't one of Don's women 
get the catalogue Perhaps she shared with him?
Shame on you for thinking such thoughts.

Ugh, another dented bonnet.  My Mk IX has a dent in the bonnet, pretty
sure some attractive woman thought it was cute to sit on the bonnet a

i agree with Rich. I've just removed my rear fender to repair a dent, and 
have found that rust has begun to take root between the fender lip and the 
inner lip, and on the face of the diagonal brace up to the shut face, and also 
on the corresponding surface of the inner surface of the outer fender. My 
body may (at Canepa Design, one of the best in the country) recommends 
putting a tube-applied sealant an the edges between fender and the diagonal brace 
to prevent any dirt and moisture from getting in between those two surfaces, 
since they're almost impossible to clean without loosening the fender 
fasteners, something I doubt many people (with the exception of Roger Moment) are 
going to do every year in order to keep those surfaces clean and dry. 
Without the sealant, they're particularly vulnerable to dirt and moisture thrown 
off the rear wheel, and that is the absolute top-of-the-list of the "Usual 
Places" to find rust.

Like I said, I'll defer to Rich's experience, with two caveats: 

1) now you know what happens when you don't seal, but it probably took a couple years or more for the rust to form (how long since you restored your car?). You'll have to wait the same time to see if the sealant works (Rich probably has experience with long-term results); i.e. you need to make a fair comparison, a 'controlled experiment' (maybe you need a placebo car). 
2) I think a lot would depend on preparation and application of the sealant. To me, sealant is equivalent to body putty: works great, most of the time, but if it's not applied correctly under proper conditions you'll have problems eventually (anyone seen 'bondo bubble?'). In particular, the surface has to be properly cleaned, abraded and, most importantly, dried completely for the filler to adhere and endure. Slathering sealant over existing rust and moisture is a recipe for bigger problems than just leaving rust exposed (at least it can possibly dry eventually). I've had good results controlling rust with a treatment like LPS-3, which not only protects bare metal and inhibits rust but it's a lot easier to fog into tight crevices. So, sealant might be a great idea on a freshly dipped or blasted chassis, but not so good an idea on one that's been on the road for awhile. 

Gary, I assume your body man can guarantee he's removed all existing rust and moisture before he applies the sealant (and seals any moisture in)? 

BTW, how many concours points are deducted for non-original sealing on the underbody?

Go to each wheel.  You get the added benefit of replacing the old brake 
fluid.  I use a Gunson Ezi-Bleed with a (modified) OEM brake reservoir 
cap.  One man operation that works very well.

It is possible to bleed at the master cylinder only if you are replacing
just the master cylinder, but I would not recommend it.  You can make your
very own one man bleeder for about $2 if you are working by yourself.
Get some hose that will fit fairly tightly over the bleed screws.  You will
need maybe 18" or so.  Get an empty small necked bottle.  If using a soda
bottle or water bottle take the label off so one tries to drink from it
later.
Stick the hose into the bottle so it is about 1/2" off the bottom.  Using
some mechanics wires secure the hose t the rim in this position.  Make sure
you don't pinch the hose off.  Take some more mechanics wire and make a hook
to hang the bottle from the car.
Now you are ready.  Go to the first wheel, hang the bottle and attach the
hose in such a way that the hose goes up and then down into the bottle.
Open the bleeder screw, and start pumping slowly.  When you start to see
clear fluid at the bottom of the bottle, you have fresh brake fluid and you
can close the bleeder.
Lather, rinse repeat with the other wheels.

BTW do yourself a BIG favor and bench bleed the master before you put it on,
you will thank me later.

John, I don't want to sound unfriendly, but are you sure you want to do this
yourself? From your question I can only distill that you have no idea how a
hydraulic brake system operates. Driving with brakes which are not 100
percent reliable is a kind of Russian Roulette. Sorry to sound pedantic!

Funny how the brain works.

In the recent Land's End thread, Alan mentioned
"another dented bonnet" with regard to the model sitting on
the Healey....which reminded me of photographer Peter Gales.
His 2009 obit is near the bottom of this page.

http://www.sailingscuttlebutt.com/archived_Detail.asp?key=4178

So what's the Healey connection?

The "dented bonnet" also reminds me of a Kodak Colorama which
was viewable in Grand Central Terminal in NYC in 1959.
It was taken, I believe, by the same Peter Gales in Pasadena, California.
Seems the MGA and Healey 3000 might have been subjected to a few
minor dents during this photo shoot. Are they intentionally ignoring the
bugeye sprite in the background?

Scary to think you could recreate that scene with a couple of tuner cars watching one of our Healeys drive by and it would be pretty much the same time spread.

I have an MGB Tonneau Bar that I am converting to use with my 1960 BT7
Healey.  It fits in the bar holes perfectly after cutting off the tabs,  but
sits much too high.  Could some one give me a measurement from the floor up to
the bar when it is installed.  I need to cut the legs of the bar so it sits at
the right height and since I have never used a Healey tonneau cover or seen
one installed at face value, I am clueless as to how high the bar should sit
in the holes.  If there is another measurement that would work better send it
along.

Also, this bar has a slight bow to it.  If the Healey had a bow did it face
forward or rearward or was it perfectly straight in all directions?

Thanks,  Mark

I've used Koni frts for my BJ7 for many years. Don't think they are available
anymore,bought a spare set of shocks back in the '70's , still in the trunk of
my '76 BJ8. Got mounting brackets from '67 that was in a fire. Plan to put
them on this summer. Good thing about Konis is that they are adjustable.

Message-ID: <ff59076c1002201659v1e23f716of7b650b54f213274@mail.gmail.com>

Hi -

I figure someone on this list set up the 1/10 scale R/C model.  I
would like to set up the shell using a Battery powered R/C chassis.
Anyone have a good suggestion for a chassis, and a good recommendation
for a website to purchase the equipment?

All -

I am trying to insert new teflon bushes on the throttle shafts of my
HD8 carbs and am having a little bit of trouble getting them in.

I was wondering if anyone on the list has a good trick to get them
place easily and without damage.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

First of all, on my original BT7 tonnneau cover bar, it is curved in only
one dimension.  If you lay it down, it sits flat on a table surface with no
bow in the other direction. 

Standing the bar up on a flat surface, the highest point of the curved area
is 7".  Putting the bar in the mount holes in the car, it is 17-1/2" from
the driveshaft cover in front of the rear seats to the top of the curved
bar.

Hope that helps.

Subject: [Healeys] Tonneau Support Bar, BT7

I have an MGB Tonneau Bar that I am converting to use with my 1960 BT7
Healey.  It fits in the bar holes perfectly after cutting off the tabs,  but
sits much too high.  Could some one give me a measurement from the floor up
to
the bar when it is installed.  I need to cut the legs of the bar so it sits
at
the right height and since I have never used a Healey tonneau cover or seen
one installed at face value, I am clueless as to how high the bar should sit
in the holes.  If there is another measurement that would work better send
it
along.

Also, this bar has a slight bow to it.  If the Healey had a bow did it face
forward or rearward or was it perfectly straight in all directions?

Thanks,  Mark

the pieces were suitable for pattern and they will be available in the next

I sprayed some LPS-3 into the seam areas between floor pans, frame 
and other areas where I could and I will seal most seams prone to 
getting wet with 3M all Around Autobody sealant (part number 085000). 
 From descriptions that I have read the LPS-3 (suggested by Bob 
Spidell) is a Waxoyl like product and the 3M product is a water based 
sealant that, from descriptions, is very benign.

 I've replaced all of the bushings on my sway bar and remounted it. I have two
questions

1) Do I need to put the wheels back on the ground (or on ramps) before doing
the final tightening? The car is currently on jack stands

2) How much should I tighten the bushings?

It's probably best to settle the car before torquing down the  
brackets. There's no "adjustment", you just need to tighten the  
brackets flat to the frame.

Yes - I've had adjustable Koni's on other vehicles, and do like the ability

If you're asking about the end link bushings, tighten the nuts until the bushings are flattened to the diameter of the 
flat washers (or a bit less).

Hi Al,

I have Koni shocks on the front of my BN7 for about 6 years now.  They're great.  I imagine the step up is like the bilsteins.  The performance improvements over stock are nice to have.  Hope that helps.

good front shocks are very helpful but they don't in my experience
help the rear axle cope with rough surfaces in cornering.  For that,
you need new, better/more modern rear shocks.  (Sorry Ed.)

Anyone on the list have experience or recommendations for a commercially made
rotisseries that would be suitable for Healeys and other smaller sized

I've helped install two Putzke kits on club members' cars and they fit really well and are easy to install as long as your front shock tower threads are OK.

I bought the rear shock kit from Cape several years ago and at least on the 2-seaters they did not fit properly. The shocks didn't extend far enough so the lower mounts bent up and the right side broke off. I'm in the process of fitting longer SPAX shocks with lower mounts of my own design and will have pix on my web gallery when they're done. 

I sent Cape an email about this situation and they were unresponsive.

The correct Koni shocks for the Austin Healey are:  Special "D" series, part
#80-1263.  

The same shocks are used in the front and rear.  The shocks are adjustable,
however, the factory recommends setting the units at the softest setting and
using the adjustment only to compensate for wear.

I have an original copy of the rear fitment instructions, showing the
brackets with location for anyone needing information or making brackets for
the conversion.

I do not have the instructions for the front fitment but would like a copy
for the files if anyone has the original instructions.

Best regards,

I mis-wrote the last email.  The front and rear shocks are not exactly the
same.  They are different in length but are the same diameter.  The part
number 80-1263 is for the rears and is noted on the fitment instructions.

I ran the front Koni's for many years. I never did the rears because I
thought the fitment kit was poorly engineered. Mounting shocks to sheet
metal instead of the frame sounds dumb. I would expect cracks in the
sheet metal both near the shock brackets and near the sheet metal to
frame.

I agree with Ken rear brackets were very poor in design. I took a pair off a
BJ8 years ago, threw them away,put stock back on. They had elongated the holes
under the sheet metal under rear seats. Geno

Udo's kit is different both front and back.  His back kit is a bolt on
replacement, actually a fairly decent set up.

The front kit is good too but can be quite tough to install as it
requires perfectly parallel alignment of the rear bolt holes, which
given the way the captive nuts are welded to the top plate.

I must have been lucky, then.  It's been several years since I installed Udo's kit on our BJ7 but I don't recall anything more complicated than the usual fiddle in bolting stuff up on tall screws.  Alan, were you defeated in your efforts to install Bilsteins in front?

I have a question and an alternate source for shock conversions. On

on fit or quality?

  As to shock conversions, I have fitted one made in the Netherlands  
by Michiel Capelle www.michielcapelle.nl . If you click on onderdelen  
on the left of the website you can see a pic of the rear conversion.  
It was very well made and fitted easily. The strong crossbrace stops  
the twisting of the chassis rail and subsequent cracking I have seen  
with other conversion. He also sells a copy of the Koni conversion for  
the front. No financial interest etc

Alan,
Have you personally experienced difficulty installing a Putzke kit on an undamaged car?

I've installed a couple of these kits and wonder if there would be any problem installing the fronts unless the towers were tweaked, in which case the stock shocks would have had the holes enlarged or distorted to accommodate the angled bolt.

The koni and Putzke front kits both require long bolts through a top piece where the holes are the same distance apart as on the stock lever shock. Therefore if the shock tower is bent and the bolts are not parallel there would be a problem necessitating repair of the shock tower before installation. 

Just curious.

Don't know the source, but - at a guess - it's one of the types that was
designed to sit over the folded hood. Hence the bigger window and slightly
bulbous rear section.
The rear conversion looks good.

Subject: [Healeys] shock conversion and hardtops

I have a question and an alternate source for shock conversions. On  
ebay UK there is a BJ8 hardtop I have never seen before. Item number  
is 260556071383. Can anybody shed some light on the source and comment  
on fit or quality?

  As to shock conversions, I have fitted one made in the Netherlands  
by Michiel Capelle www.michielcapelle.nl . If you click on onderdelen  
on the left of the website you can see a pic of the rear conversion.  
It was very well made and fitted easily. The strong crossbrace stops  
the twisting of the chassis rail and subsequent cracking I have seen  
with other conversion. He also sells a copy of the Koni conversion for  
the front. No financial interest etc

I've had the Cape rear kit installed for several years and even though the bottom mounts were bent by the inclusion of too-short shocks, the top mount IMHO is a good design and shows no distortion whatever.

The Cape kit is similiar to the Koni drawings except it replaces the two small lengths of angle steel with a full width piece approximately 3 ft long. For pictures, see: 
http://www.pbase.com/stevegerow/healey_rear_suspension

However having said this if I had it to do over again I'd go with the Putzke kit.

John,if you deal with Hendrix you will NOT be disappointed.  First class 
operation.  I suffered with the Healey shake on my 100-6 for 6 years or so. 
After talking to them by phone I took my wheels and all four  drums to 
them,they balanced and told me which corner to put the drums.  This car now 
drives true with no shake at all up to about 75 which is as fast as I will 
drive it.  My tires need replacing and Hendrix will get my business.  Real 
pros.

We see a lot of discussion on this list about poor customer service or
dissatisfaction with well-known suppliers to our hobby who should certainly
know and do better.  No one has ever said a bad thing about Hendrix.  He
could show all the others what customer service really is.

Another very satisfied customer.

That shock conversion is very interesting and seems like it would stiffen up
the rear chassis.  As far as the hardtop goes, doesn't look like any of the US
made versions.  Might be able to get a bargain if it doesn't travel too far
past 150 pounds.

For those folks north of the border here in Canada, I can state that Bob 
Yule at Autofarm can supply MWS wheels, tires, tubes and can mount and 
balance all. In addition they can set up and true drums for smooth running 
performance.

Hah!  wishful thinking.  It's a completely different housing and axle,
unfortunately.  To do the conversion you have to swap complete axle
assemblies + springs.

John -

Just because you live in WA won't make all that much difference in
shipping costs.  Shipping costs within the continental US tend to be
pretty consistent.

For this type of stuff, it seems Fed Ex Ground is a really good
option.  You should have your stuff in 5 days.  Allen Hendrix will
know how to do it, he sent 4 rims + tires to me in CA for my BN1,
shipping was not all that much.

I'll second to that. They are, simply, the best I have had a business dealing
with. After they supplied new wheels and tires, my front end vibration
completely disappeared after many years of trying everything and everyone
else. I loved the way the tires came with a tag indicating exactly where they
were to be installed (left front, right rear etc).

Sorry no.

The later case has a flange that is larger diameter with more fixing 
holes. They come from different 'stables' The early BN1 started life in 
Austin saloons such as the A40 or perhaps even earlier in the W.W.II 
Austin 'Tilly'

The later BN1, BN2 and on was a BMC design that started life in the A90 
Westminster with roots in Morris designs.

You would not have to change the springs. Just shorten the heads of the 
toe bolts and then use the BN2 'U' clamps and plates.

G'day Alan

I've been under the misapprehension (apparently) that the way I ended up 
with 2 BN1s with no filler for the rear axle was that later diff centres 
(with no filler on the "pumpkin") had been put into old type casings (with 
no filler on casing). I know of 2 other cars in the Queensland club in a 
similar situation. Both mine are 3.54 diffs, one of which I believe is from 
a Wolseley 6/110. Any ideas?

Cheers

Peter -

Later BN1s have the 5 stud axle.  How many studs on your axle?

probably the Westy had the filler hole on the diff casing hence the
lack of a filler hole of the swapped pumpkin....

Peter

Let me please make it clear that I am not discussing the early BN1
spiral bevel 4 stud rear axle.

The later BN1s and all BN2s had the BMC axles that were hypoid 5 stud.
The later BN1 versions had a filler plug on the front nose of the
'pumpkin' and incidentally R.H. threads on both ends of the casing that
held the hubs in place. The BN2 version had the filler on the rear of
the casing and handed nuts holding the hubs in place. In most respects
you could fit either 'pumpkin' to either case but you could end up with
two fillers or none depending on the selection

The same Design Alteration Note dated 26/5/1955 also covered the Morris
Six, Wolseley 6/90, Austin BS4 (A90 Westminster), Riley 2= litre and
half ton van.

Therefore if you had a pumpkin from a Wolseley 6/110 it is likely to be
without a filler on the neck because I believe that there was no change
from the Wolseley 6/90 to the 6?100 other than perhaps the gear ratio.

Some time ago there were discussions about sleeved thermostats and their 
availability.
Amongst my boxes of old junk I recently found a carton filled with NOS 
original SMITHS sleeved thermostats 85025 with varying opening 
temperatures in :C/:F: 74/165 (1), 80/176 (8), 82/180 (2) and 86/187 
(1). They are all in as new condition and in their original orange 
Smiths boxes bar one.
If you are looking for one of these you can contact me off the list.

Yes it will fit but you will not have a oil fill hole.

Mine are both 5 stud and the one in the coupe at least has RH threads both 
ends. That one has had a filler plug added to the back of casing; the other 
hasn't & I filled it via the breather!

Wife was driving her BMW (04) to work yesterday--having travelled 13 miles on a 
fast heavily travelled parkway and was pulling into her parking lot.  As she 
tried to turn the steering wheel, it suddenly went loose and she could literally 
spin it around and around with ZERO effect on the wheels! 
 
AAA to BMW dealer.  Found that the bolt holding the steering rod to the steering 
rack, via a universal joint, had completely backed out and fallen into a tray 
below it and the rod had separated from the rack UJ! 
 
They are still trying to find out why it came out and as yet, no findings. 
 
I sent a note to Corporate BMW and they have asked for VIN info and said they 
would review the issue.  We will see. 
 
I shudder to think what would have happened had it dropped out and the rod 
separated from the rack while she was at 70MPH on a morning rush hour traffic 
route.  Not to mention that she was on about 2 miles of city streets with ped's 
around. 
 
Heck--even the old XKE's may lose a bolt out of this area, but I believe the 
steering rod would stay inside the rack UJ giving you control over the wheels. 
 
We will see what happens.

 Subject: Talking Dog

A  guy is driving around the back woods of Montana and he sees a  sign in

front of a broken down shanty-style house: 'Talking Dog  For Sale ' He rings

the bell and the owner appears and tells him  the dog is in the backyard.



The  guy goes into the backyard and sees a nice looking Labrador retriever

sitting there.



'You  talk?' he asks.



'Yep,'  the Lab replies.



After  the guy recovers from the shock of hearing a dog talk, he says 'So,

what's your story?'

The  Lab looks up and says, 'Well, I discovered that I could talk  when I

was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I  told the CIA. In no

time at all they had me jetting from country  to country, sitting in rooms

with spies and world leaders,  because no one figured a dog would be

eavesdropping.'

'I  was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running.  But the

jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't  getting any younger

so I decided to settle down. I signed up for  a job at the airport to do

some undercover security, wandering  near suspicious characters and

listening in. I uncovered some  incredible dealings and was awarded a batch

of medals.' 'I got married, had a  mess of puppies, and now I'm just

retired.'



The  guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants  for

the dog.



'Ten  dollars,' the guy says.



'Ten  dollars? This dog is amazing! Why on earth are you selling him  so

cheap?'



'Because he's a liar. He never did any of that shit.

Ira,

Just the fact that you have a pair of them is significant. These can be 
carefully opened up and repaired. The only way these early horns would be 
scrap and need to be replaced is if they are literally rotted away and 
crumbling. Short of that.....fix them!

Which model BMW is it?  I am concerned because I have an '04 330i.

Transmission oil in a Healey the second biggest controversy on the  
list next to Brake Fluid.

The original oil as per Healey  30wt non detergent motor oil. The  
problem with this oil is that it is not really a gear oil.

We use Red Line MTL. This is a specific gear oil which is a 75/80  
weight gear oil which is the same viscosity as a 30 wt engine oil

We have had several cars that had problems shifting as well as some  
overdrive issues and changed over to the Red Line MTL and fixed the  
problems simply by changing oil.

If you use a 90wt gear oil it is not recomended on cars with a non  
syncro first gear as per ALL the British manufactureres.  Jaguar,  
Triumph Austin, MG etc.

An interesting bit of trivia about this car.  Please look carefully at 
the boot emblems.  (It's more apparent in the photo in Adam's article.)  
There is an additional vertical emblem under the Austin-Healey that is 
not on the other two cars:  A Rolls Royce "RR".  When I asked Peter Cox 
about it years ago, he laughed and said:  "It's from a watch fob."  
Huh?  "It's a watch fob that I thought would look neat so I glued it on 
the boot lid."

A truly unique Healey! :-)

I have a 1967 BJ8 Healey for sale. If interested I can provide pictures. 
Color is red with black interior. Body and paint is excellent. The 
upholstery is black but is showing some wear. I have new leather interior 
but never installed it.The carpet is good. The previous owner had installed 
several extras. Such as an electric fan that is controled by a switch under 
the dash. But I never had to use it. A sterio radio with hidden speakers. A 
volt meter mounted under the dash. The wood dash is new and looks great. 
Chrome is very good. I am asking $38,000. If interested e-mail me and I will 
give you my phone number and answere any questions you might have.

Hi All,



Living in the Snow Country of Central NJ, I am frustrated that I havent been
able to carry on driving my Healey at least once a month.  In response, I was
wondering if anyone has attached a snowplow or blower on the front of his/her
Healey and which would be the better approach?

Geez..............My medication muddled mind failed me again!  I 
received a phone call from Derrick Ross, former employee of DMH and who 
introduced me to Peter and Joe Cox, admonishing me for my wrong 
recollection of the bit of trivia.  It was, of course, a KEY FOB and not 
a watch fob!

You now have the trivia tale correct and permission to shoot the 
messenger.  ;-)

Subject: [Healeys] Castrol GTLMA brake fluid
Message-ID: <4B885396.5030300@earthlink.net>

Folks,

Went looking for Castrol brake fluid and ran into two varieties: GTLMA 
and GTLMA synthetic.  Different labeling; same part number.  An email to 
Castrol USA got the following response:

"Castrol GTLMA now has a higher wet boiling point and the product label 
has been changed. The product formula has not been changed; Castrol 
GTLMA has always been a fully synthetic brake fluid. The wet boiling 
point has increased from 3110F to 3290F (1550C to 1690C)."

So it sounds like you can mix the old and 'new' GTLMA.  However, it's 
still DOT3/DOT4.  I wouldn't mix it with DOT5 synthetic.

             The outer area which is larger capacity is for the brake system 
and the inner small cylinder is for the clutch.

I went looking for Castrol recently.  Could not find it in 3-4 parts stores.  What's up with that?

My CarQuest store usually has it, folks.  Both in
pints AND quarts !!!

NAPA's can usually get it.

First of all, Castrol has a higher boiling point, so it is rated Dot 4.
 Having driven my BJ8 hard on several occasions I can tell you Dot 4 makes a
difference.

Also, Castrol LMA has additives to reduce moisture absorption in the fluid,
which will help preserve your brake system over time.

Actually the "DOT 4" is the important thing. That is the industry standard for
low moisture activity brake fluid. DOT 4 is used in brake systems using
natural rubber, as opposed to synthetic rubber, seals. All glycol based brake
fluid is hygroscopic. That is it tends to entrain moisture. Water affects
natural rubber more than synthetic rubber and requires a "dryer" fluid. Using
DOT 3 fluid allows more entrained moisture and causes natural rubber seals to
swell and break down.
DOT 5 fluids are silicon based and are not hygroscopic.

Hey Ray,

A couple of 2 X 12's nailed together in a "V" shape and attached to

The same formula but the boiling point went up. Sounds like fuzzy science to
me!

Folks,

Went looking for Castrol brake fluid and ran into two varieties: GTLMA and
GTLMA synthetic. Different labeling; same part number. An email to Castrol USA
got the following response:

"Castrol GTLMA now has a higher wet boiling point and the product label has
been changed. The product formula has not been changed; Castrol GTLMA has
always been a fully synthetic brake fluid. The wet boiling point has increased
from 3110F to 3290F (1550C to 1690C)."

So it sounds like you can mix the old and 'new' GTLMA. However, it's still
DOT3/DOT4. I wouldn't mix it with DOT5 synthetic.

Get in touch with a trailer firm in the Elkhart  IN.  area.   Because of the 
economy you should be able to
find a new one at a very competitive price.   Companies have stock piles of 
RV, trailers, boats.
Try  Forest River in Elkhart and see what they have available.   They have a 
ton of different divisions
so tell them what your looking for and they will hook you up.

This car also happens to be featured in the April 2010 issue of Hemming Sports
& Exotic Car mag.  I've recently subscribed to SEC and except for a penchant
for some 70s Japanese cars, I really enjoy it as it features a lot of "our"
kind of cars.  My favorite (after the club mags, of course) still has to be
"Octane", but the price is a little too hard to swallow for a sub.

The power and the sound---it should be a screamer with an awsome sound.

I know the Healey sound is great.  the E sound is also sweet.  I have a 4.2 (not in the Healey)and it sounds wonderful.

I have had my Trailex for over 10 years & hauled a vintage race car to many
venues on it. It has been very reliable. The companies that make welded
trailers warned me that bolted designs were inferior & the bolts would loosed
& fall out. So far, I haven't had one bolt come loose. I'm a satisfied
customer. Sorry I don't know of one for sale.

I don't have a used Trailex for sale, but I have been using one for the past
10 years or so. I did extensive research into trailer offerings and found the
Trailex to be the best.  I bought mine used.  It's a great trailer and I
highly recommend it.  Nothing out there matches it in lightness and quality of
construction. It is a tad expensive and if you don't live near the factory in
Canton, Ohio, delivery is rather costly.  I can tow any of my LBCs with my
wife's Honda Odyssey with its 3,500 pound towing capacity.  With any other
trailer I'd have to use a big honkin' pickup truck or SUV with all the
disadvantages that go with those overweight behemoths. The Honda drives like a
car, is not top-heavy (roll-over prone), gets great gas mileage, and is
incredibly versatile.  The best Trailex trailers were made from about 1980
forward and have interconnected axles.  The older ones have each axle
independent of the other.  The ones with the interconnected axles handle
varying tow heights and terrain better.  Both are good, though.

Try Craigslist. Enter the following into a *Google* search box:

  site:craigslist.org  trailex  CT-7031

Or try some variation of trailex car trailer. Some hits will be out of date,
but you may find what you want.

Greg,

I remember once driving back to college in upstate New York after
Thanksgiving break. When I went home the top was down and three of us
enjoyed a nice drive home in my Sprite. On the way back it had snowed and
was windy. At some point on the Thruway I passed a tractor trailer and
was blown into the median. After being towed back to the road I continued
the trip at 45 mph. I had just enough money to pay the toll after paying
the tow truck driver. It took very little gas and I figured that maybe I
got over 45 mpg. I remember the 948 could cruise at 70 mph all day and
never break a sweat. Wonderful memories. Yes.

Caution with old trailers is the age of the tires! Even though you may have 6
ply heavy duty tires, they still age.  With duel axle you have a chance if one
tire shreds but you better change them out every 8 to 10 years. This is often
forgotten.

Hi All,



Living in the Snow Country of Central NJ, I am frustrated that I havent been
able to carry on driving my Healey at least once a month. B In response, I was
wondering if anyone has attached a snowplow or blower on the front of his/her
Healey and which would be the better approach?



All the best,

Tom -

It's probably a Mk IX motor, or possibly a Mk 2 motor.  The manifolds
wouldn't be that hard to come by, the big saloons used to always seem to get
scrapped.  My Mk IX runs on two HD6s.

I'd say my only complaint on the conversion was using a 4 stud axle in the
rear, not so sure that will stand up to the torque of the jag motor.

Looks really nice.   Must be an automatic as there is certainly not enough room in the driver's footwell for 3 pedals!!!

Looks really nice.   Must be an automatic as there is certainly not enough
room in the driver's footwell for 3 pedals!!!

In the 70's I lived at Lake Tahoe in the winter and rarely used 
chains. I powered the Healey through all kinds of snow conditions; no 
salt was used on the roads. I did have an issue with ice once 
traveling down Kingsbury grade. Because of the cold, the car would 
not start in the mornings and I had to coast downhill until I could 
pop the clutch in gear and start the engine. Once I did two very slow 
360's while a pickup truck was coming uphill. Car straightened out, 
started, and no accident!

However, you could always remove the grill and shape a sheet metal 
scope to funnel the snow through the radiator. It should solve the 
overheating problem too!

The Sports & Exotic article also said they cut three inches out of the 
footwell to make the new gearbox fit, I hope the owner has narrow feet!

It's probably a Mk IX motor, or possibly a Mk 2 motor.  The manifolds
wouldn't be that hard to come by, the big saloons used to always seem to get
scrapped.  My Mk IX runs on two HD6s.

It is the type of exhaust arrangement available in the late 1950s from 
the after market, often fitted to 100s. Harmo is a make that comes to 
mind but I am not saying that this is.

Kenny,

The new replacement door handles have some areas inside the barrel section 
of the casting that can cause an interference fit with the lock barrel and 
push button plunger assembly. Some careful filing may be needed to remedy 
this. Beyond that, I've fitted a pair recently that seem okay.

gaskets, etc.  You can check out availablity by going to their websites and
entering you car/ year.  Pep Boys doesn't go back far enough for the Big
Healeys though.  Saves shipping if you find what you need!

Bernie:

I painted a jack that had a fair amount of original paint on it and had it
matched at a paint shp. The best I got was called National Fleet Color, Wajax
Industries Red, No:#H1263A

Not sure where you are and f you can get this stuff where you are. I live in
Winnipeg, Canada

The famous Reno Hot August Nights is opening a new venue here in South
Lake Tahoe. It will be held July 30th to August 1st. Auction and car
show and poker run are on the schedule. This will be the first time
here.
There is also new auction in Reno on May 15 and 16. Free
admission and about 300 rods and classic cars for sale. For more info
go to: http://www.hotaugustnights.net/ then select "Spring Fever Car Auction"
from the right side under Hot News.  Or you can contact B&T Custom Rod at:
http://www.btcustomrod.com/events.htm and click on the Spring Fever Auction
link at the bottom or call them at 877-876-9080.
B&T
are the guys who are currently painting my Healey. I drool when I
visit. They have many old Packards and Nomads and a'20's Buick, 56
T-bird and many more fabulous classics and hot rods. I hope my BJ8
comes out half as good as what I see they have finished.
