[Healeys] BSF / BA Bolts - Austin Number Converter

[John Sims]

This particular spread sheet was sent to me by one of our friends in Europe
(I forget who) with an indication that it would be updated at a future date.
As far as your example is concerned,  the spread sheet, shows that the Nuts
for studs part number 2K3975 are 1/4 BSF.  Browsing down the list I see that
this same part number was used for nuts on different parts of the car which
would make sense to me. Engine mounting bracket uses Hex screws part HZS0608
which is shown as a 3/8 USF one inch long zinc bolt. Etc.

 

This list was compiled for a BN2 and is by no means complete but I doubt if
the part numbers were different for the same fastener in the other models.
But, not to disparage the English, one never knows.

 

In any event, if the person who gave this to me is still monitoring the
list, hopefully he will have made additions.

John,

Nice chart, but which model Healey are they for?  

Plus we all know the BMC coding for UNF Fasteners, but this is NOT what Alan
needs.  What he needs is someone to do a spreadsheet showing the size and
thread of BSF, BSW, BSP or BA fasteners as they correspond to the BMC part
numbers in the parts book.  This is a project that Roger Moment and I have
talked about doing for some years now but haven't gotten around to doing it
yet.

For example, my 100 Parts books lists the three (3) nuts that hold the
"Front Cover for Water Gallery" and the four (4) "Nuts for studs" on the
carburetor "Balance pipe" as 2K 3975.  It would be nice to know that this
part number corresponds to a 1/4 BSF standard nut. 

I may already have some if this info, I just need to research and find it
and then I'll publish it on the list.

Cheers,

Curt
