Bill,
I think you are right. If I read it as you suggest I agree. That is the

Hi Listers.

Please see the e mail below. Mike is planning to have some reproduction
Trafalgar Glass Bottles made and needs the exact measurement details.

If anyone has one of these would they be kind enough to contact me. Ideally
a diagram showing the key measurements and some jpg photos would be great.

If there are any listers who would be interested in acquiring one of the
reproductions, please contact me.

cheers

Derek

The oldest chestnut on the 100/6 most wanted list !

Derek - you have  great pictures of both the bottle and the Trafalgar top on
www.healeysix.net, and as you know, these are like hen's teeth to find,
so.....

Living in a small village in the South of France, we have a local glass
blower who can make most things and has looked at your photos and pronounced
it as "pas un problem" including the "32"  (fl oz ?) and texturing of the
 base etc. Being in the aircraft overhaul business, we can engrave pretty
much anything and
Trafalgar top and logo etc present no problem.

I do not intend to go into business making reproduction Healey parts, but
Alphonse the glass blower is happy to make a couple of dozen, thus I thought
I would commission that small number, probably give them to Murray Scott
Nelson who is rebuilding my Longbridge BN4 100/6 (42754) but I do not have
an original to get the working dimensions from.

I am told they were 8.5" high and 3.75" in diameter, but I would be most
grateful, if you have access to the "jam jar" if you could be very kind and
get
me the exact dimensions. Unless of course you know I can get an original
bottle, in which case I would owe you the price and several glass bottles of
exceeding
good local wine !

Very much look forward to hearing from you,

Kind regards

Mike Davis

I have used Dunlop 550L-15 racing tyres on a vintage sports racer for years &
am curious about the pros & cons of using them on the street on a replica
rally car (BJ8). I believe their dimensions are appropriate, they are treaded,
they are not a very soft compound by racing standards & I think they would
look very good on street car. I know the tires say for racing only, but I
haven't been able to find out why, yet. FWIW, they are a bias ply tire. Also,
they are expensive, but I am more interested in technical reasons for or
against using them on the street.
Thanks,

Gary,

Usual reasons for not running a race tire on the street are thinner sidewalls
that won't hold up to being curbed, softer compounds leading to quick tread
wear and lack of rain grip.  The Dunlop vintage tires look a lot like a road
tire, so all the above might not apply.  Maybe you could call Sasco Sports for
an opinion, but my guess is liability issues will prevent them from telling
you it's ok.  Speaking of liability, get in an accident with non DOT approved
tires on your car, a personal injury lawyer will be licking his chops.

Can't comment on the Dunlop racing tires, but I have now driven 3 different 
Healeys on new stock Dunlop Road Speed RS5 Tires, the correct 5.90 x 15" as 
per original and absolutely love their smooth sure vintage (bias ply) feel 
and handling. The steering is light, smooth and accurate, throttle to road 
grip is very responsive and predictable with no surprises, and of course the 
look is right, gaining a lot of road clearance in the process. These were 
the best tires when the cars were new and it really completes the period 
Healey experience.
Of course these tires are expensive and you can expect a mileage life of 
only about 18,000 miles, but these days most of us will out time the tire 
life (7 years) before we out drive them.

I can only step in what Rich wrote. I also love the Dunlop Road Speed RS5
Tires and can only recommend them. The only factors against them is the price
and their specific handling on wed roads. But if you know them, they make
great fun on dry and wet.

I think the biggest danger with bias ply tires is when they go, they
tend to blow out - dangerous on the highway.  I think modern radials
do a much better job of keeping it together when failing.  Better for
your car and much safer.....

Jess -

The 100 motor shoud run cool, even with the stock fan setup.  If it is
running hot, something is wrong.

First check your temp guage (may be reading hot) and then if that's ok
I'd reccommend power back flushing the block.  If the block has too
much scale, it will run hot.  Jet hot coating the exhaust manifold is
a good idea aslo.  It keeps under bonnet temps down.

Also check timing...

 Another next step would be to check for a blown head gasket.  You can check
your radiator for exhaust gasses with one of the blue liquid test kits.  Napa
sells them.  Another sign would be water in your oil.  You may see this on the
dip stick or you can drain the oil and see if any water is in there.

Ed,

Read carefully, I'm not talking about the Dunlop racing tires being used on 
the street...I'm talking about the RS5 Road Speeds which certainly are DOT 
approved!

May i suggest that the radiator be removed and the coils be replaced
with modern ones and add an extra row. you can use the same top and
bottom.
works in all of my cars.

i just remove three rows and added four in my XK 150 and so far runs
nice and cold with out a fan change.
my BJ8 has had an extra row for 8 years and runs cool even when in
Bakersfield at 113 degrees.

Gary, I'm going to wade in here with my thoughts on bias ply racing tires. I
have used Goodyear Blue Streaks and Hoosier Vintage TDs on my Healey for many
many years.  First, I think the sidewall strength is not up to DOT safety
standards. If I am wrong, someone on this list will quickly let us know.
Secondly, racing tires are just made differently than street tires. Here's my
one and only experience with using race rubber on the street.
For a couple of years I raced a 1968 AMC Javelin (SCCA "A" Sedan). One time I
decided to drive to the track on my race rubber. I live in Portland, Oregon
about 10 miles from Portland International Raceway - about 8 miles of which is
freeway driving. I had big Hoosier bias ply racing rubber. Every time I hit a
groove or whatever, the tire wanted to go that way. This does not make for a
good driving experience on the street. Hope this helps with your question.

I've been thinking about this for a few days and have decided that having a
beer with me at McSorleys(just a couple blocks away)is about as close to
Healeydom as one is likely to get in Manhattan. My LBC friend, Wes Henderson
can tell stories about the gang in Brooklyn that specialized in stealing
Healeys back in the 60's. We could go up to the now defunkt Tavern On The
Green in Central Park and view the spot where those lovely photos of DMH and
his !00 were taken way back when, but the Austin facility on Webster Ave in Da
Bronx, that is listed in the back of the 100 Drivers Manual, is long gone and
replaced by an apartment building. So, that leaves SU guru Joe Curto out in
Queens, not far from LaGuardia Airport, as a main point of interest and
Gullwing Motors, also in Queens, could be interesting.

In the 35 yrs I've lived here I've seen enough Healeys in Manhattan to count
on one hand missing some fingers.

Message-ID: <1a778.2e4640f8.390fa1e0@aol.com>

I race an MGA on the track using 5.50 x 15 Hoosier vintage TD bias-plies. 
My Healey has 165 x 70R15 Kelly Metrics (radials) for the street. When I 
restored my 100M, I drove it for awhile (to and from concours) with the Dunlop 
5.90 x 15 Roadspeed tires, and have a friend who has only ever had the Dunlop 
Roadspeeds on his XK140. No way would I use the track tires on the street 
-- they require attention every second -- but we only run for 20 minutes -- 
and frankly, the Roadspeeds aren't a whole lot more predictable, but they are 
a lot of fun and definitely give you the vintage feeling. 
For my money, I'll continue to mount the highest profile 165 or 175x15 
radials I can find for the Healey, for the simple reason that they're a lot more 
predictable and a lot more forgiving in highway driving. Also, they're 
cheaper, when I'm going to have to replace them every five years as the tire 
compound ages.
But for short distances -- city and show -- the Roadspeeds are a neat look.

Cheers
Gary

Boiling/cleaning the radiator is not very effective and usually does not 
help that much if it was partially blocked by scale.
Have the core renewed and fit a core with a larger capacity if you live 
in a hot climate.

Dave,
If its not the head gasket, the 100 cylinder heads are prone to crack. If
there are cracks in the cylinder head the symptoms are like yours -
overheating. I have three of these heads lying in the loft.

If the engine is over heating then there is an underlying reason. Brakes
dragging, no or low compression, miss firing, bad water pump, bad radiator
core, defective thermostat,etc. Something is making the engine work extra
hard or something is out of spec. Check the radiator core: remove the top
and bottom hoses. Plug the bottom inlet, fill the radiator with water,
remove the plug, if it empties in 10-12 seconds its fine.

Paul,

Not to put you off, but be prepared for a struggle fitting the hardtop.  I 
have had a really hard time getting mine to fit anything close to 
acceptable.  However, I am told it is highly variable, and they fit well on 
some cars and not on others. I am also told that when fitted by the factory 
(as when a car was ordered new with a hardtop option), the front edge of the 
fiberglass was trimmed to fit each car before the front rail was installed. 
Tops bought over the counter were a generic length, a sort of "one size fits 
all" approach.  However, I cannot confirm that.

My top seemed too "long", as the distance from the front rail to the rear 
aluminium trim was greater than the distance from the top of the windshield 
to the rear cockpit surround trim.  I had to move the windshield forward and 
it took some doing.  You can't just tip it as the base of the windshield 
pillars have to sit firmly on the rubber pads.  The holes for the three 
bolts that hold the bottom of the windshield posts, as well as the front one 
that takes the chrome Phillips screw, are over-sized to facilitate some 
adjustment, but I had to enlarge all of mine further.  You need to do a 
trial fitting and determine if the windshield has to move forward or 
backward to accommodate the top.  Then loosen all the bolts and move the 
windshield accordingly.

I actually went a step further and made an adjustment to move the whole top 
backwards.  This involves removing the inside quarter panel trim on the 
hardtop and removing the angle brackets that hold the locating pin on each 
side of the top.  I then had new angle brackets made up with the pin moved 
forward 3/16", which in effect moves the top back the same amount.  A lot of 
work for 3/16", but I needed to get everything I could as I could not get 
the windshield forward any further.

The rear aluminum trim on the hardtop may extend past the aluminum cockpit 
trim more than you expect.  The rubber seal around the rear edge of the 
hardtop is quite wide to accommodate the variability in the cars, and as 
long as the rubber seal sits on the cockpit rail, you are OK, do not worry 
about the overhang.

Lastly, be sure to check the sidescreen and softtop fitment as well.  The 
position of the top, windshield and sidescreens are one big compromise and 
you have to noodle everything around until you get the best overall fit. 
Mentally set aside a few days to do this, it took me weeks of weekend work.

I found this job required much patience and I had to reduce my expectations 
of a perfect fit.  I know this is highly variable and perhaps you will be 
luckier than me.  On the plus side, the top fits quite well now and looks 
fabulous.  It is really a different experience and extends the driving 
season for us in the GWN.

Bonne chance,  Mirek

Paul,  of course I should have asked what model too.  My experience was with 
a 1959 BT7.  That long explanation is useless if you have a convertible! 
The tops are all date stamped and my top is just 5 months off the build date 
of my car.

Paul,

I'd like to assume you're talking about a 6 cylinder roadster???

It's going to be a struggle and a balancing act between the angle of the 
side screens to the windscreen angle, to the fitting of the hardtop, to the 
sealing around the hardtop perimeter. Some will almost just drop onto the 
car (but not often) while most will be a struggle with cheating that will 
occur that only you will know about!
Have fun!

Jess, as others have stated, there can be a lot of causes for over heating, more details would help the online diagnosis, how quickly does it overheat?, how high doesw the temp guage go?, was the motor recently rebuilt?


For example, if the temp pretty much skyrockets up after you start the car it may be blockage or a stuck thermostat, if slowly or only after a long time when idling more likely a radiator capacity issue, if while moving maybe something dragging or putting undue load on the motor.

Good Luck,

Greg

Jess,

I had a lot of problems with overheating on my 100 too, which I have now for
more than 10 years. Approximately 8 years without any problem. Even not when
being stuck in a traffic jam with 30 deg C outside or driving up the
mountains in summer. The temperature never went over 180 deg F (app 85 deg
C). Maybe the louvred bonnet did help too.

All of a sudden overheating problems started. The engine went that hot, that
it began to sputter and later quit working and only could be restarted after
letting it cool down. This happened in slow traffic and in the mountains.

I checked and fixed one thing after the other: carbs, ignition, radiator,
head and exhaust gasket, water pump, thermostat, ... I even exchanged the
complete exhaust system.

Instead of an electric fan I put a six blade fan in, which did help a
little, but did not cure the problem.

During the last drive I heard some noise and we found out that it came from
a main bearing which destroyed the crankshaft. And while the engine is out
we could search for the real cause for the overheating and found out that it
came from the rocker gear.

A good point from Dave was that something is making the engine work extra
hard or something is out of spec. In my engine this was caused by the
rocker. But as others stated begin with the easy things.

Good luck

Mirek & Paul,
Wow, I'm amazed that things could be that different from one car/hardtop 
combination to another.  My 1960 BT7 with only 14,000 miles from new was 
purchased with a hardtop by the original owner.  The second owner who we 
bought the car from had never put the hardtop on the car, but since we 
took the car to fall Hershey to put in the car corral for sale, the 
easiest way to display the hardtop was on the car.  It went right on 
with no problem, fitting well all around front and back.
We did have some fitting issues when putting the side curtains on as did 
the original owner apparently from the scratches on the aluminum, but 
after loosening the fasteners on the curtains after they were in place 
on the car and a minor bit of fiddling, all fits quite well now with no 
interference anywhere.  Now the doors open and close just like a typical 
family sedan with absolutely nothing bashing into anything.
Someone with more knowledge about how things went at the dealer when the 
cars were new may dispute this, but the way I imagine it when a customer 
wanted a hardtop, one was selected out of a small inventory or ordered 
in and paired with the car.  I suspect that the dealers, especially in 
Lancaster, PA, didn't have a large number of hardtops in stock to draw 
from to find one that fit well.  Perhaps it was just luck in this case.

My son has the MGC in the shop and they claim that the car is sluggish
because it doesn't perform like a Healey.  The recommendation is to replace
the distributor.

I have two questions. One, what could go wrong with a distributor that would
make the car sluggish  I thought the main problem was wear in the shaft that
makes the timing impossible to set. What else could it be?

The second is more of a statement. From what I have read the MGC engine was
a bastardized version of the Healey engine. Heavier and bigger. That means
the car *would* be sluggish compared to a Healey. There are no points of
comparison as far as power and handling as far as I'm concerned. I'm
surprised we didn't hear of Donald Healey rolling on the ground with
uncontrollable laughter when it was suggested to badge C as a Healey.

To sum up: What could go wrong with the distributor, and am I correct in
stating the C would seem sluggish compared to a Healey?

Hopefully there are some dual C and 3000 owners on the list that can verify
my experience.

Thanks as usual,

Hi Jack,
As the past owner of 3 "C"s and a few Healeys in good condition I would 
agree that the engine characteristics are quite different. The "C" has 7 
main bearings and doesn't breath too well, consequently it doesn't like to 
rev quickly, definitely different to a Healey. With the exception of the 
bore and srtoke there is little in common, the pistons can be interchanged 
but that is about it I believe.

I am the owner of both an Austin Healey mk3 and a MGC.

They are different.
First the MGC has a seven bearing crankshaft which makes for more winding
and friction losses.
Secondly it was the first version of a new engine and the mk3 the last and
that benefitted from years of development. The first 100/6 engine was not
very responsive either. The Austin Healey engine is heavier than the MGC
engine.
Thirdly the MGC is higher geared as if a non od Austin Healey is fitted with
an od box, which mine is.

And don't blame the distributor itself, it needs retiming which I had done
by MG Motorsport in the UK and that transformed the middle speed torque. No
financial interest and all that.

Fix the MGC properly and you end up with a very nice touring car.

Good luck

Things to go wrong in the distributor:
weights stuck because of lack of lubrication
Weakening springs causing early advance
Leaking diafragm of the vacuum unit
wear in shaft causing unevenly distibuted ignition

I always thought that the AH3000 and MGC3000 engines were different 
beasts altogether.
The MGC handled rather badly being very nose heavy and extremely 
understeered

Paul
There is going to a big problem if you have to start moving your
windshield around on a BJ8.  The vent window fit is hard enough without
throwing the hard to into the mix. I would be having second thoughts
about the new top at this point......

Sorry for the conversion....the car is a 1967 BJ8.

All inputs are welcome.

Paul,

I'd like to assume you're talking about a 6 cylinder roadster???

It's going to be a struggle and a balancing act between the angle of
the
side screens to the windscreen angle, to the fitting of the hardtop, to
the
sealing around the hardtop perimeter. Some will almost just drop onto
the
car (but not often) while most will be a struggle with cheating that
will
occur that only you will know about!
Have fun!

Is there any info out there that indicates exactly what carbs would have been
included with the period dealer 100 M kit?

AUC 6040 X were on most factory 100 M's but is that what was in the "dealer
kits"?

TIA

Randy,

Most maybe but definitely not all.  The important number was the hand
scribed (etched) number below that on the carburetor body, i.e., 6047 and
6053.

Too many folks get wrapped around the axle about the carburetor being AUC
6040 X and that's just not the case, there are plenty of factory 100M cars
with AUC 6040 AA on the carburetor bodies.  Once again the etched numbers
are what's important.

Typically TR3 Carburetors are AUC 6040 AC bodies, as these can be converted
to 100M specifications, I'm doing a set as I write this with original 100M
manifolds.  NOT so with Jaguar XK140 H6 carburetors, just ask me and I'll
tell you.  With a little work only the most decerning eye will be able to
tell the difference, but there's no attempt to deceive on my part.

Cheers,

Curt

Hi Curt, I don't disagree with any of that. But my question is still, what
were the carbs that were supplied as part of the Le Mans kit?

6040 X or 6040 AA ?  And (now) were they etched with the 6047 & 6053?  :-)

Someone mentioned AUC 739  ???

Randy,

The 6047 and 5053 are what makes the carburetors 100M versions so I don't
see getting around this.  Once again, IT DOESN'T MATTER what the AUC 6040
suffix is, if the carbs were produced during the period then they
should/would have been etched accordingly.  Now all we need is definitive
proof.

Randy,

Also the carburetor pistons on the 100M are a unique part number and not the
same as the TR3 or those on the standard 100 H4s.

In the SU books, they (SU) published a list of applications (vehicles) that
were fitted with such and such a model of carb. I can't find mine (not
unusual). Perhaps someone has a copy of this list? Joe Curto? University
Motors?
 It would seem very unlikely that a dealer would stray from the factory
recommendation.

Message-ID: <397FCCC4B2F04059806C1BF0034C7485@ACM030>

I am helping a friend who just bought a 100 sort out a few issues with SEVERE
dieseling and a sticking throttle. Her car is a BN1 converted to BN2 4-speed,
and the prior owner mounted a 100-6 top-pedal box to accomodate a hydraulic
clutch (presumably a BN4 bellhousing).

the throttle linkage was sticking rather severely because the rear brass ball
joint casing was hanging up on the original asbestos shielding (the pedal
pivot is at the top, and obviously displaces the horizontal linkage a little
downward). we've cut away enough of the shielding to eliminate this
obstruction, and can set the idle down to 700-800. i had hoped this would kill
off the dieseling, but does not. nor does lifting up on the pedal with your
toes to assure the throttle is fully back.

the dieseling is really bad. you have to engage in 4th and the car wants to
drive forward, even when not engine temp is not very high. I have read past
threads, and noted several 'usual suspects'...

1. idle speed (not a problem here)
2. choke cable adjustment
3. leaking throttle plate shafts
4. timing
5. too high compression
6. carbon buildup

is there an order in which i should check these to rule out contributing
factors? are there any other causes of dieseling you've encountered.

the engine runs vigorously and has great throttle response. by history from
the seller, there was an engine build in the 1970's by his P.O., but we don't
know if the head was shaved more than appropriate. if it is a compression
issue, would using a tank of CAM2 prove/disprove compression as contributing
to the dieseling? if it is, can the problem be solved with having a steel shim
made to the shape of a head gasket? are the Dennis Welch steel gaskets thicker
so we could lower compression should that be the issue? there is no leakage
out the side by the motor number plate, so I don't see a need for one
otherwise.

Can't remember the SU numbers, but the principle is the same as  
Webers. The "BMC" weber is a 45DCOE Type 13.

The weber "body" was fitted to a squillion webers. And it is only cast  
on the weber lid/ top cover, to identify the BMC setup.
Dcoe 45 13- that's the only number people remember. And as Joe rightly  
says - there is more to it to be original that that!!!!!

Start with the timing Allen. And use the best (highest octane) fuel

Traditional causes for dieseling are:
-Engine running to hot, cooling problems, wrong thermostat
-wrong stationary mixture leading to carbon build up in cilinder head
-low octane fuel
-hot spark plugs
-cilinder head not properly finished after a rebuild, leaving sharp 
edges that can glow
-to high compression after shaving the cilinder head, thus needing 
higher octane fuel

I need help for the following: the ignition coil for my 1955 BN1 has two white
cables connected to one of the terminals and one to the other. Last Sunday I
was driving the car and suddenly the engine stopped. No feed from ignition.
After disconnecting one of the two white cables the engine restarted again and
now is running with one cable disconnected and everything is working well.
What is this cable for? Should I try to reconnect it?

Thanks

Dave, Randy and all interested listers,

The dealers did not make up the 100M kits supplied to Healey 100s in the mid
1950's.  These kits would have been made up and specifically supplied to the
dealer by either Healey at Warwick or BMC and would have been *manufactured
to a set standard*.  As such the carburetors would have been H6's with a
body number of 6040 which was the standard.

I have spoken to Joe Curto at length on this very issue and he gets very
frustrated with folks who tell him that their 100M carburetors MUST be AUC
6040 X,  First, he's seen plenty of original 100M carburetors with the 6040
AA body.  Second he also states that these numbers are NOT what's important,
it's the etched number.

The differences in the specific carb setup are denoted by the hand etched
number below the 6040 number on the carb body, some of which I'll list as
follows...  The 100M carburetors had all (3) of their unused fast idle cam
bosses milled off.  The TR3's have all four of them still intact even though
only one is ever used.  The 100M carburetors had a unique dashpot piston and
part number.  The linkage setup on the 100M carburetors was mirror image of
the TR3 carbs.  As such when converting you'll need to use the brass levers
from a set of Healey 100 H4 carburetors, The float bowls and tops were
different from other carb applications, etc...

BTW these hand etched numbers on the 100M carbs all show evidence by the
style of numbers that they were all etched by the same person, i.e. very
unique 4 and 7 style.  Remember there were 640 documented Factory 100Ms that
were produced at BMC with the louvered bonnet but supposedly, there were
over 1,100 in total which MAY mean that the remaining were Le Mans kits
which may or may not have been installed.

Good friend Gordon Brockman bought a Le Mans kit for his BN2 in '56 and
never installed it.  It sat in his Dad's garage until he passed years ago
and Gordon has no idea what happened to the complete kit.

So if you go to swap meet and you see a set of H6 carbs with Auc 6040 X OR
AA on the bodies AND 6047 and 6053 etched on the bodies, good bet they're
original.

Cheers,

Curt

I'd start with a compression test (and check the timing).

Are you sure of the wire color. There is 2 white wires. One is the  
feed from the ignition switch the other goes to the fuel pump.
Then there are two white/ black wires, one goes to the distributor  
points, the other goes to the battery cut off switch. You probably  
have disconnected the white/black wire the goes to the batterey  
switch. Look under the car and see if you have pinched the harness in  
one of the harness clamps under the car. You also can disconnect the  
white/black wire connector at the firewall behind the intake manifold  
and try to start the car.

Too big so re-sent...........

Allen and Team
Are you sure this is dieseling? It sounds like you still have a spark
after switching off. Strange but true - if you have a short circuit
across the warning light the generator can continue to energise the
coil. Take the warning light bulb out and try again

Allen -

You'd have to shave a lot off the 100 block to get that much
dieseling.  Unlikely but check compression, if up around 180+ or so,
then the block is shaved.

I'd focus on spark, something is keeping the coil on I think.

We purchased a '99 SL 500 two years ago with Kumho's installed.  They got 
out of balance very quickly and act like the old nylon tires.  They seem to 
get flat spots when sitting for a day or two.  The vibration will eventually 
work out but they still seem to get out of balance frequently.  We live in 
Florida so I have no experience in snow and very little in the rain. 
Personally I wouldn't purchase them after this experience.

I put them on my BJ7 last fall at the recommendation of Allen Hendrix.  The
look good on the car and seem to handle all right.  I have only put a few
hundred miles on mine however.

G'day Carl

I've had Kumho 656/658 185/80R15 on my BN1 coupe for 7 years, and now have 
Solus KH15 185/65/R15 on my V6 engined BN1. I've found them very good both 
wear and ride-wise, and they're cheap (A$120.00 here)!

Cheers

I have Kumhos on my LS430 Lexus and no issue. I am on my second set on my 89
Turbo Porsche which I have over 1000 track miles and no issue.

We purchased a '99 SL 500 two years ago with Kumho's installed.  They got
out of balance very quickly and act like the old nylon tires.  They seem to
get flat spots when sitting for a day or two.  The vibration will eventually
work out but they still seem to get out of balance frequently.  We live in
Florida so I have no experience in snow and very little in the rain.
Personally I wouldn't purchase them after this experience.

Message-ID: <8CCB9FABC5113E3-624-29C9@webmail-d047.sysops.aol.com>

I just noticed on the back cover of a AAA TripTik, I had made up a couple of
weeks ago here in the Atlanta area, a picture of a red early model Healey with
a creased hood (bonnet).  It is being driven (LHD & on the right side of road)
down a coastal highway with a large body of water on the left side of the
picture.  It has a driver's side mirror on the fender about a foot and a half
or so forward of the windshield (if there is a RH mirror it is hidden by the
windshield post), a black interior, a wood rimmed steering wheel, with the top
(hood) down and the passenger seat back is pushed forward for the photographer
to stand behind or sit on the rear shroud to take the picture above the line
of the windshield.  Can only see the drivers hands and part of the forearms.
If it is a "Left Coaster", they are driving north or a "Right Coaster" they
are driving south if taken in North America.  The right side of the road has a
vegetation covered dune or berm along side of it.  The page doesn't have any
identifying numbers on it for a reference like the rest of the pages do.  The
page is promoting the benefits of using AAA trip services.  Could it be anyone
on the list we know?

I have a 5-year old set on our Acura and a 2 year-old set on my 3000.
 Very happy with them, and very reasonably priced.

I've had Kumhos from Hendrix on my BJ8 since 2007 and 18K miles.  I've been
very happy with the ride, performance, and wear so far.  Flat spotting has
not been a problem for me.

Unfortunately, Hendrix says he can't get the Kumhos anymore.  Apparently,
they are no longer being manufactured in 165 size.  Vredesteins are what he
is selling now.

Larry:  That picture is evidently a 'stock' photo available for public use. 
It has popped up several times and was discussed on The List several years 
ago.  It appeared in 2007 as a left hand drive Healey in an ad from Sodi 
Scientifica, and, with photo flipped, as a right hand drive Healey in an 
article from AOL Money and Finance.

Message-ID: <000801caec02$892f7940$9b8e6bc0$@net>

I have put at least 5 sets of Khumo tires on my cars ( including my Daughter
and Son's cars ) over the past 5 years and have been very pleased with the
performance and especially the price.  They give you the best "bang for your
buck" for well performing street tires.  My current daily driver came with
Sport Pilot run flat tires that are great on dry pavement, but worthless in
snow.  I recommend them to anyone looking for a great set of tires.

On intensive use the brakes of my 1955 BN1 get hot very quickly, the brake
pedal becomes very hard and the car does not stop. Is this a common problem?
Is there a solution?

This is classic brake fade. The brake lining sort of melts creating a 
lubricant for the braking surface with no friction resulting. Have the 
linings replaced with asbestos containing (if you still can) material 
suitable for fast road driving. If you have disc brakes, change the pads 
to EBC Green or Red stuff pads or other pads suitable for fast road driving.

Manuel -

I would highly recommend flushing your brake system and then replacing
your rubber brake hoses.  Braking on the 100 is not as good as a disc
braked car, but it is still sufficient for a road vehicle.

Whatever tires you get from Hendrix, he will balance them properly when he
does the mounting.  If he can't balance them, he won't sell them to you.

Beware of the Vredesteins. They can have balancing issues in the sizes 
suitable for the AH's and TR6's. Appaerantly because of not properly 
laid cords or something to that effect. I have seen quite a lot of these 
tires with barely noticable bumps on their sides, where the owner of the 
car complained about not being able to get the wheels properly balanced.

I recently  had a similar problem on my Mk1 Sprite. What it turned out to 
be was the piston  in the Master Cylinder not having enough movement in the 
return so that the  pressure in the pipes could be released through the 
pressure release hole. By  adjusting the movement of the brake piston the problem 
went away. The car is not  stopping because your drums have overheated. The 
opposite would be the case if  you had disk brakes, which is what I have, 
and my front Brakes just locked  solid. Very disconcerting!

I would highly recommend flushing your brake system and then  replacing
your rubber brake hoses.  Braking on the 100 is not as good  as a disc
braked car, but it is still sufficient for a road  vehicle.

Wonder what this'll do to our Healeys.  I've probably run 10% gasahol 
through my BJ8-you never really know what's coming out of the pump--and 
survived, but the 'run too hot' part concerns me.

No problem. You do not have an oxygen sensor in your Healey to weaken 
the mixture. The car runs on good old carbs without any electronics. 
Adjusting the mixture by screwing up or down the needle in the SU's will 
all that is neccesary if at all.
The main problem is a higher accidity of exhaust gasses causing havoc on 
mild steel exhausts. This can also be a problem on pistons, rings and 
bores if the car is used a lot on short trips were the engine does not 
heat up fully.
I ran 100% ethanol cars in the late 70's in experiments with existing 
cars that had modifications to the carbs (mainly jetting) and ignition. 
In this program we had cars running on natural gas, LPG, petrol and 
ethanol. In the end the 100% ethanol caused to much problems for 
existing cars, natural gas was to expensive and bothersome to store so 
only petrol (later mixed with a certain amount of ethanol) and LPG 
remained practical as they had done so before.

Kees,
Is it fairly common in The Netherlands to have cars running on LPG?  The 
reason that I ask is that several years ago a Dutch vintage Volvo club 
was here in the US to tour across the country for several months.  Some 
friends and I met up with them early in the tour in Gettysburg, PA.  
Most all of these car were equipped to run on LPG and most had to 
convert back to gasoline to do the tour here.  These were Volvos from 
the late '50s & '60s generally which had SU carbs.
One of the things that I wondered is where they hid the tanks for the 
LPG if they also had the original gasoline tank too.

Aiyiyi... once again, the laws of Congress are about to collide with
the laws of physics.    Our modern cars are getting poorer gas mileage
with 10% alcohol, which means they're putting our more CO2.  Anybody
see a problem here?  It's bad for the cars, bad for the environment.
The only winners are big agri-businesses which are pushing this.

Charlie,
LPG was very popular here on large cars in the 50's-80's after which a 
decline set in. The LPG installation was difficult and expensive to 
adapt to modern fuel injection controlled by computer and oxygen sensor. 
At some time about 20% of the cars were running on LPG, now it is less 
than 5%. I still run my old Landrover SIII on LPG.
Often the tanks are hidden in the spare wheel well, however this is 
rather unpractical as the capacity is not very high. Mainly the tanks 
are the 60 or 80 liters variety hidden in the boot.
The old Volvo engine was very suitable to convert to LPG.

Karl,



I just put Kumhos on my BJ8 and really like them.  I had Hendrix Wire Wheels
do the mounting, balancing and truing of the wheels and it all worked out
fine.

Guys



Anyone have trouble with the new rubber seal that is clipped to the chrome
top.



I wound down my window yesterday and noticed that as you wind the glass down
the rubber peels down and bend back on it self downwards, this is okay until
the window is wound back up and the rubber graps the glass causing me to break
a nylon runner - doh!



Luckily I still had a nylon block and changed it last night (dam new glass and
rubber seal / u channel was difficult to get off). On reinstalling the window
(without the outer rubber seal and chrome top) it goes up and down like a
dream.



Question : has any one shaved a couple of millimeters off the depth of the
seal so there is not so much pressure on the glass causing it to bind and bend
in on itself? and did it work?



just when I thought I was nearly finished. And thanks Rich C for the help the
karvel carpet and seats do look the dogs do dars (even though I say it
myself).



cheers Andy

I can second the Vredstein's, decided to buy a new set of MWS 15" painted
standard wheels and went for the vredsteins. Nice looking classic tread
pattern, alot like the Michelins.

Since the onset of the 10% in the gas, my mileage went down approximately 10%
on all our cars. Several other people I talked with also noted a definate
decline in mpg. Unfortunately, these idiots in Washington do not realize what
they are doing and according to my calculations, it now takes more gas to get
where you are going. As Pogo said "we have met the enemy and he is us!".

I actually think the Vredesteins suck. They follow the rain grooves and
are very nervous feeling. The old Michelin XZX in 165 were nicer than
these Vredesteins in 185/70. Yokohamas were also nice but not available
anymore. I should have waited for the Pirelli CN36 reproductions. They
were great in the 1970's.

I have the exact problem you stated. I wont have the car on the road 'till
next week but I had planned to use some rubber lubricant and clean and wax the
windows to see if it improves the "drag". The old rubber was tapered but this
new stuff from Moss is stiff. It curls in as the window goes down. I've been
meaning to call Moss but I have too many other issues in getting back on the
road. I didn't like the felt strip the sent me either.

I got Kuhmos with my new wires from Hendrix Wire Wheels a couple of years
ago.  The tires are just fine.

"Suck" is a little strong.  :-)

I have 185/70 Vredesteins on the 100 M and had them on the BJ8. They are a
soft compound tire with a soft sidewall which, as Ken says, makes them a "very
nervous feeling". Knowing this I run a little more pressure in the 100 M. It
helps a lot but again they are a soft compound tire that rides well and grips
very well.

On the BJ8 I just replaced the 185/70 Vredesteins with 185 X 15 Vredesteins.
Taller tire and not quite as wide. A huge difference in performance and feel.
Much more stable and do not follow the rain grooves as Ken complains about. I
suspect that being a taller tire, the sidewall is stronger. But overall a much
better feel and stabler.

That said, I will admit that I went to the minilite style wheel vs. wires, for
long distance touring, and I love the combination.

The BN1 I have came with Kumho's and they are OK. Passenger car type tire but
not a performance tire, Don't seem to do anything wrong but don't do anything
great either. Guess it all, depends on how you drive and use your car.

Funny how we differ on feelings.  Last year I came back from Va Beach in my E-Type to Pittsburgh on the Pa turnpike.  I rained the entire way.  I have Vredesteins on it and was driving most of the way at 75 and 80 mph.  I felt no adverse feelings and actually felt very secure with them.

YMMV.

    Our experience has been exactly the opposite.  Although I do prefer the 
165 HR 15 in the Vredesteins.

I'm fairly ignorant on the subject, but I believe that I heard that the Kumhos
are manufactured in a different country now than they used to be and the
quality may be different?

Perhaps the size of the tires has something to do with your experience. Too
much tire for a particular rim might make the handling nervous. I'd like to
hear about a comparison between new 165 Michelins and new 165 Vredesteins (or
whatever). I don't know whether you'd get an accurate comparison if you are
talking about tires of different sizes. I now have 165 Vredesteins on standard
rims. I quite like them but I live in an area with no rain grooves (Nova
Scotia has lots of poor pavement and potholes but thankfully no rain grooves).
I did have 175 Michelin XZXs in a 175 size but these were on wider 72 spoke
rims. The Vredesteins grip better than the Michelins did but that's not a fair
comparison because the Michelins were over 10 years old. I might have gone for
new Michelins but when I needed them a couple of years ago I couldn't find
any.

One more comment in the mix. The wider the tires, in my experience having 
driven on a lot of different cars) and the stickier the tread compound, the 
more likely the car will feel squirrely on rain grooves (it's call 
tram-lining, incidentally, in the motor press, going back to when tires would get hung 
up in the trolley tracks). That's one of the reasons I prefer a higher, 
narrower tire for the Healey, with a harder compound. Folks who choose to run 
185s, or worse, 205s, may think they look cool, but they are imho buying 
trouble.

Cheers

I recently had exactly the same problem with the exterior rubber strip 
"grabbing" and curling the rubber when the glass was being wound down. I 
sprayed a small amount of silicone lube on my fingers and rubbed it onto the 
rubber. It wasn't enough to smear onto the glass and it immediately cured 
the problem.

As both Bob and Rick point out, two things to take into account, if you are
running the standard 60 spoke 4.5j (165) or the 72 spoke 5j (185).

I went for the standard 4.5j 165's with the higher rated tyre being the HR
rating instead of the SR.

Top man!

I like the easy fixes, and they are not usually that easy. Shame I still had
to take the window out and replace the runner! (that little voice kept saying
just wind it up whats the worst that can happen). I will give it a try before
I cut the holes in the door cards and fit.

cheers Rich

thanks Andy

I bought my wire wheels from this outfit - at the time they were 
rebuilding several old wire wheels.

I agree with Gary, I know it may be a matter of opinion and what you want, but I have found my classic British cars have performed and "felt" better on a narrower tire close to manufactures spec.  In addition to the noted squirrely wandering if you explore the limits with the wider tire you are more likely to get more severe roll and suspension angles than with the narrow tire, maybe a slightly higher overall limit, but a lighter feel to the steering and more of a confident, and I can control it (and have fun with it) if I get a little bit of a slide feel with 165s.

YMMV

Yes, Fred Balenger @ 508-832-3222  Have not used him. Only works a couple days

He was highly recommended to me by Alan Hendrix.

Pretty good endorsement IMHO.  :-)

Message-ID: <009f01caeca2$6da77ab0$48f67010$@net>

I have seen the name "Trafalgar" associated with glass windshield washer
bottles, so I checked on the one I have. Trafalgar no. It has "Manufactured
by John Sydney LTD" on the metal lid.

Dimensionally it fits the hole in the parcel shelf perfectly.  The metal
bracket clamps to the bottle with ears as to sit in the shelf hole. Is this
even for a Healey?

Much thanks to all who shared their wisdom.

One problem in trying to deal with this long distance, it it is going
through a non mechanical person.

When I queried the shop, the answer was weak springs, but "we compensated
for it", and the car now runs to the mechanics satisfaction. I"m not sure
how you compensate for it, but they are not going to try to sell me a new
distributor, and that counts for something.

Thanks again.

Whilst I also have no idea of how they "compensated"
and the "not selling a new one" DOES 'count' perhaps
the "lack of knowledge" does count, Jack ??

If your 'situation' was mine and I had ANY 'doubts'
about a dizzy, I would have them send it off to Jeff at
Advance and have it re-built and then KNOW that the
original problem[s] is NOT the dizzy.

But that's just me.  -:)

I've had Kumho tires on my Erika for six years (15,000 miles) now and they 
they are great.  Good ride, great wearing and terrific traction.  I recently 
put them on my SUV.  The best value.  Kumho makes highly respected racing 
tires too.

Not in my case/experience, Greg.  In fact I agree

Jim -

"Synthetic" Dot 3 or 4 is fine, it is the same old stuff, just rebranded.

"Silicone" Dot 5 is what you need to be careful of.

Very confusing, I know!

    I have been following the thread on 100-M carbs.  I happen to be in the
process of rebuilding two pairs of H-6s on 100-M manifolds.  I have had both
sets since the early seventies  I don't think anyone was reproducing "M"
manifolds at that time so I think they are legit.  The carbs came with the
manifolds so the chances are good they may be correct also.  The carbs have
the "AUC 6040 X" number but I cant see any other hand etched numbers.  On my
H-4s there is a small plinth with hand etched "6000"numbers but the H-6s have
no such dedicated number location.  Exactly where should I look for the hand
etched numbers?    The bodies of the carbs I have only have one of the

Trafalgar was the model name. The bottles were manufactured by John Sydney.

Herb -

That bottle is for early BN4s, if I'm not mistaken.  Rare as rocking
horse s**t.  Some list people will probably want to buy that off of
you!

If you have several broken spokes it may be wiser to get new wheels or 
have the existing ones rebuild with new spokes, because of metal fatigue 
being the reason the spokes broke. The metal fatigue has not affected 
the broken spokes only, but all spokes.
If you replace the broken spokes only you may soon find other spokes 
failing.

Gary,
Very true, although it is probably not width only but if you go to low 
section tires the problem gets worse as well, even on narrow tires.
Another thing is that you have to play around with tire pressures. 
Different size tires (even makes) may need a different than standard 
tire pressure.
Wider tires on spoked rims does not seem to be a good idea either. Why? 
The rims are to narrow and perhaps they flex a bit, thus influencing 
road behaviour?
If you want wide tires, fit 6" or 7" wide alloys.

Jack,
You cannot compensate for weak springs, other than retarding the 
ignition, thus causing the engine to run acceptabely in the midrange 
area, but with a retarded ignition in the higher rpm, hard on the 
exhaust valves.
The only cure is to fit new springs or a new distributor. A 123 ignition 
distributor would be a good choice as it has several ignition curves to 
play with and it is not overly expensive.

Synthetic brake fluid does not mean incompatible with old brake systems. 
Avoid DOT5 (silicon type fluid), but use DOT4, and all should be well.

Message-ID: <r2off59076c1005060111oa6a802o42321bf5f4e38003@mail.gmail.com>

All -

This is for my Atlantic which has a petrol tank that is best repaired rather
than somehow fabricated and replaced.

My tank is in good shape, but the inside is prone to rust.  I am thinking
that I should use a proper repair kit on it.

I notice that POR-15 has a pretty nice kit, and I was wondering if any of
you have had experience with this kit?

http://www.por15.com/FUEL-TANK-REPAIR-KIT/productinfo/FTRK/

I just want to stop the rust in there....  Any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Alan

Hi Alan,
POR15 kit works fine, PROVIDED you follow the instructions AND make  
sure you eg grease any threads in the tank (eg drain plug, sender etc)  
and blow the fuel pickup with low pressure air (repeatedly) BEFORE the  
POR sets (ie when the POR is still wet). Otherwise, you won't get your  
drain plug out if you left it in; and if you block the fuel pickup  
with POR, clearing it after the POR has set is probably not easy....
Worked fine for me when I had a STD tank in the BJ8

Jim,
Seriously, the entire brake system and rubbers are 45 years old???  
Never been touched?
And you'd hate for her to lose her brakes again???
Geez, if thats the case, dont rebuild them now, just wait another 5  
years (until they are 50) and throw them a birthday party!!!!
;-)

Alan,
Make sure all petrol vapour is removed by rinsing the tank with hot 
water and washing up liquid and afterwards with clean cold water.
Before you use any product, clean out any rust inside the tank. Best 
have it done chemically in an accid bath (I think they use a mixture of 
Sulphur acid and Phosfor accid) or alternatively do it yourself 
mechanically by inserting sharp sand, fine-medium fine gravel and water 
and shake in various positions using e.g. a cement mixer for a few 
hours. Then rinse out thoroughly, blow dry hot for several hours, buy 
your wife a new hair dryer.
If some welding or brazing is neccesary, do it now and clean again using 
some gravel and sand and perhaps another hair dryer.
After all the prep work you can apply the POR-15 or similar.

Thanks Derek;

I have found the source of my confusion. The name Trafalgar is in the center
of the metal cap, and is not visible on my example because of corrosion. 

I will generate photos and dimensions later today.

Trafalgar was the model name. The bottles were manufactured by John Sydney.

Check on the bottle top on my web site at this page

I have seen the name "Trafalgar" associated with glass windshield washer

by John Sydney LTD" on the metal lid.

Dimensionally it fits the hole in the parcel shelf perfectly.  The metal
bracket clamps to the bottle with ears as to sit in the shelf hole. Is this
even for a Healey?

Message-ID: <4c049.6ca87009.39144d64@aol.com>

Hi Rich-
I had a similar problem with  the  window rubber strips on my BJ8. After 
having tried several different  rubber lubricants it was suggested that I try 
Armor  All-Protectant.
First I lowered the windows all  the way down. Using my fingers I applied 
the Armor All- Protectant to  the rubber strip on both the under and upper 
surfaces. Rolled  the window up and let it set over night. The next day when I 
tried to lower the  window much to my surprise it worked just they should.
What a dummy I am. After having  represented Armor All in the mid '70 in 
the Southeastern states I should have  known that it works wonders on almost 
anything rubber,

(I have the  exact problem you stated. I wont have the car on the road 'till
next week but  I had planned to use some rubber lubricant and clean and wax 
the
windows to  see if it improves the "drag". The old rubber was tapered but 
this
new stuff  from Moss is stiff. It curls in as the window goes down. I've 
been
meaning to  call Moss but I have too many other issues in getting back on 
the
road. I  didn't like the felt strip the sent me either.

In the Moss installation tape, they show the seat runners mounted over the
carpet. Some carpet kits come with slits cut for the runners. As I have the
Moss kit which has no cut outs should the runners be mounted over the carpet?
The carpet I took out (not original) had the cut outs.
Thanks for any help.

I know Rich C covered it well in the archives, basically the black metal
plates and snap bases hold the jute down, whilst the carpet is trimmed around,
therefore giving enough clearance for the seat runners to move:

quote:

>From the floor up, here goes.....
-painted floor
-heavy felt paper (black tarpaper)covering flat floor areas
-thin layer of burlap looking jute underlay covering flat floor areas
-black painted steel strips about 1 1/2" wide x 17" long with the 3
clearance holes for sleeved seat track nuts
-wood spacer strip for seat tracks
-seat tracks with sleeved nuts passing from underside through floor, steel
packing plate and wood packing strip, etc. onto seat track studs.
-carpet piece that goes under seat is slotted to clear seat track assemblies
and installs from the rear, sliding forward under seat. This carpet piece
goes only to approx. front edge of seat tracks.
-carpet is held in place on floor by 4 ring type female carpet snaps passing
through carpet  and snapping onto male studs screwed through jute, etc. into
steel floor. NO GLUE on floor or tunnel carpets. They need to be able to
snap out to dry when you get them wet.
Hope this helps.
Rich



The original Karvel carpet was not bound at the edges. I have taken quite a
few pics of my installation. How did the window winders work out?

After you get caught in your first heavy rain fall with your top down your

your carpet out to hang it out to dry.  Think a head.   To keep your floors 
dry, everything should be able
to come out to keep moisture down.   Or go concours and stay moist.  Its

Rick:  I'm sure you do not believe that everyone with an automobile has, or 
wants, a nav system.

There was a segment on local TV the other night where some people who bought 
a new Toyota Prius and paid a couple of hundred dollars for the Toyota nav 
system found out that their home addresses, along with other locations, were 
not found on the system.  They did not live out in the boonies or in new 
subdivisions.  For this reason, and for the people that have been sent to 
wrong locations by their nav systems, some into lakes or dead-end streets, a 
good map is still the way to go.

I'm sorry that I didn't save this for this e-mail:  "If you don't know where 
you
are going, any road will get you there" (Lewis Carroll)

COMPUTER  PROBLEMS 
As  we Silver Surfers know, sometimes we have trouble with our  computers. 
I  had a problem yesterday, so I called Eric, the 11 year old next door,  
whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come  over. 
Eric  clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. 
As he was  walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was  wrong?   
He  replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'
I didn't want to appear stupid,  but nonetheless inquired, 
'An,  ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again.'
Eric  grinned.... 'Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?
'No,'  I replied.   
'Write  it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'      
So I wrote down:

The carpets are cut around the seat runners so they can be unsnapped and 
removed to dry in the event that they get wet. The underlay is trapped and 
packed under the seat runners and packing plates so it will clear the 
runners.

Charlie, in addition to Kees' answer regarding the use of LPG in Holland :
the main reason for the popularity of LPG in our country is the price.
Yesterday, filling up my gas tank, I noticed that the price of LPG is 40% of
the price of standard 95 octane gas. In order to avoid the whole Dutch car
fleet to be converted to LPG our Government, in their endless wisdom,
decided that the road tax for non- petrol driven cars (so diesel and LPG) is
far higher than for cars using petrol(gas). One therefore has to drive quite
a distance in order to enjoy the relatively low price of LPG and to
recuperate the costs of adding an LPG installation. BUT: as cars older than
25 years don't have to pay road tax it is very economical to drive a >25
years car on LPG. To give you an idea: I pay for my daily driver (2650 lbs)
about $ 765 per year. Had it been an LPG driven car, I would have paid $
1610!

Ken -

A tractor and an Austin Healey are two completely different animals.  I
think you would be very hard pressed, unless you were racing, to flip an
Austin Healey even if you had a failure in the drive train.

With all the metal windows, dash, and a spear for a steering column (of
which I have a friend killed by a solid column when he wasn't wearing his
seatbelt in his Land Rover), I'd have to say yes, on the chance you roll
snake eyes you'll roll over and have a 50/50 shot of getting killed, but
there's the other 35 combinations of two dice which says wearing a seat belt
is probably a good idea for staying alive & keeping your front teeth.

Ken, 
You may feel vindicated in your view, but there are many types of accidents
that happen that don't involve rollovers in which your body can be thrown
from the vehicle if not belted in. Flying through the air and hitting
something rarely ends in good results. Would you not seat belt your ten year
old kid in the car even with the absolute  slightest possibility that you
will rear end another car?  No rollover......., but lots of damage to soft
tissues!  

I wouldn't think of driving my Healey without my seat belt.  When I drive a
gymkhana, my 3" racing belt is pulled as tight as I can get it so I can
drive the car instead of sloshing around in there.

Your thinking goes against any safety standards in place.  I hope we don't
find your name on the Darwin Awards some time.

Note that tractors often (usually) flip over backwards. With tons of torque (some tractors have Healey engines), low gearing and huge rear wheels just pop the clutch with a heavy load--stump-pulling is a classic example--and you're on the ground with a large engine on top of you in about one-half second. I nearly did it once myself. 

Seat belts are useful in a Healey--it makes it easier for the coroner to determine who was driving.

The chance that you will be killed or seriously harmed because of 
wearing a seatbelt in your car is far smaller than that the seatbelt 
will save your life. Wear them at all times.
When you flip over, it will be just your bad luck.

OK---but come back and talk to me after you have crashed through the windshield and lost much of your face.  A tractor isn't quite as fast as a car, so they can afford to say thet.

I have had two ocassions to witness a Healey accident and seatbelts.

  First time a driver in front of me went off the road and hit the  
side of a mountian. They were wearing lap belts. The driver hit the  
steering wheel in the chest, the passenger to the dash to the face. I  
have since installed shoulder belts in both of their Healey's.

Second incedent was a customer that had purchased our retractable lap  
belts. He returned the next day and didnt like the look of the belt  
retractors. I convinced him that it was better to have ugly  
retractors and be alive than to have no seat belts and dead. So he  
returned home with his retractable shoulder belts. Then later that  
day he was on a drive out in the Marin Headlands. He lost control and  
launched the car over a cliff. Some of you may remember the article  
from the San Francisco Chronicle about 7 years ago that was sent  
around the list. The steering wheel was crushed down to the drivers  
seat and the car burned up. Both the driver and the passenger crawled  
away and survived. The driver had a broken back along with many other  
injuries. He has now restored another car.

If you want to see a photo of this I can send on along. I promise you  
it will convince you that a seat belt is definitly a good idea.

OR... to put it another way, look around your Healey and pick out the things
you'd like your face to smash into.  The only person I ever saw successfully
eschew the use of seat belts was the late Masten Gregory who had a penchant
for jumping out of his cars just prior to the crash.  Just to add a little
more controversy, I'm not even sure lap belts alone are sufficient protection
in a Healey.  In a front-end collision wearing only lap belts, the body tends
to bend forward at the waist, throwing the chest into the "javelin" of the
steering column.  I'll be putting three point harnesses in mine.

So back in the day a buddy of mine bought a used Sprite for the going  
rate of $500. The DPO took the belts out, so the first trip after  
school was to Pep Boys to buy belts.
On the way home my buddy decided to take the windy road. He blew a  
tire in a corner and hit an oak tree dead square.
The driver bounced off the steering wheel with some cracked ribs. The  
passenger went through the windshield. The headlights of the Sprite  
pointed at each other.
To get glass out of your face they rub a cotton ball til it snags then  
use tweezers to pull the glass out. The passenger claims it felt like  
they used coarse steel wool and vice grips.
So if you don't believe in seat belts for roadsters try putting your  
face through a windshield then see if your opinion changes.

David,
Why don't you post any pictures to the forum and we can look at our 
leisure and you will only need to send it one place?
To find the forum, go to the bottom of this email and click on the link 
to the forums, find the Healey one and post there.
I think that you will need to register, but that's easy and free.
Thanks.

I have maintained for years that tractors have a higher centre of gravity 
than a LBC and because of this are easier to turn over on a sideslope.
Ask yourself in how many accidents you roll over as opposed to having a nose 
to tail shunt?
Now, I too feel vindicated.

In the late 70's I worked for TNO, the Dutch equivalent of NHTSA, with 
whom we worked together in a crash test dummy program. I got heavily 
involved in crash testing, accident investigation, homologation and 
consumer testing of seat belts, crash helmets, child seats etc.
Before I never used to wear seatbelts, did not believe in them. It only 
lasted one day at TNO though...
In the rare occasion that I do not put them on immediately now I feel 
there is something not right as by instinct.

Message-ID: <298df.596f8cd8.3915d710@aol.com>

To make the numbering system on brake fluid even more confusing, DOT 5.1 is 
a non-silicone brake fluid, which is compatible with DOT 4 (and DOT 3, 
which I don't think is even sold any more.)

Castrol GT-LMA is rated as DOT 5.1 and is an excellent choice for systems 
that have not been switched to silicone DOT 5 brake fluid. It has excellent 
moisture management and heat tolerance characteristics. 

But please, folks, let's not get started on preferences for silicone versus 
non-silicone fluids. If the car has never had its brake fluid changed, then 
it hasn't had the seals changed either, and should get replacement 
non-silicone (Dot 4 or Dot 5.1) fluid.

I just read the standards the other day and they allow one to cut out around

I sure hope it's still being sold--DOT3 is SPECIFICALLY called-for in every ABS system I've serviced (a couple), and in some other older cars. I bought some a year ago or so ago.

Subject: [Healeys] A arm connection at fulcrum
Message-ID: <a06200705c80a40e680c0@[192.168.1.100]>

I've got a question about the tolerance where the A arm/ kingpin meet 
:  the manual says there should be a tolerance of 0.002" once the 
threaded bushes have benn turned back one flat.
Fine, only the cork rings don't sit all the way into their recess, 
and I think that the compressed cork rings would make a feeler guage 
measurement impossible.
So, are my cork rings too thick, and should I trim them before 
fitting the a A arms (lower wishbones).?
Thanks
Stephen, BJ8

Interesting, since just this week I changed needles in my 64 from UN 
(rich) to the standard needle and had to adjust
the jets more than a complete turn of the screw.  Otherwise, it would 
not run at idle.

While this is not TABC specific,this may pertain to many MG clubs in the
United States.

If any of you are involved with tax-exempt non-profit organizations (car
clubs), you might want to check that they have filed their 990 return with the
IRS.

Small organizations were obligated to file by legislation in 2006, effective
the 2007 tax year. Not filing for 3 years will cause the loss of their tax
exempt status. As this was quietly passed many clubs and organizations may not
be aware of this. It could be very expensive to try and get the exempt status
reissued if you do loose it. This would be the third tax year since this was
passed so this would be the first year in which you could loose your tax
exempt status if you do not file. So ask your officers if this has been done
to save headaches later.

The 990 has to be filed to the IRS by MAY 17, 2010 if it has not been done
within the last three years.  http://www.irs. gov/newsroom/ article/0,

For the rest of you outside the US, sorry for taking up your time.

Gary is correct here. DOT5.1 is basicly DOT 4 with the boiling 
characteristics improved to DOT5 level.
Overhere it is not that widely available though.

All:

 

I just received a new tonneau from Moss Motors, which arrived without
instructions on the install process.  I don't see anything in the archives
as to whether it's best to start at the front and work back, start at the
back and work front or do the side fasteners first.  Any experience will be
greatly appreciated.

 

BTW, I am completely dis-impressed with the quality of the tonneau on first
look.  I would expect an outdoor item like this to have a substantial
zipper, etc.  [sigh]

Does anyone know if there is a problem with Heritage?  I ordered a complete
interior for my 1959 BN7 from them in February.  All communication has been
done via email.  My vocal Chords were removed because of Cancer, and I can not
use a telephone.  I sent them a $2500 deposit, and received an invoice
acknowledging receipt of my deposit and that my balance due was $2460 +
shipping costs.  I got an email from Tony Hazell (Manager) that my interior
would be finished around April 12th.  I have repeatedly emailed them since,
asking for an update on my interior, and do not receive any replies.

Hi, Al -

I think it's best to start at the center, and work outward alternately on
the sides.  Fold the fabric in half lengthwise to find the centerline, and
mark it with chalk.  This provides a guide to get the tonneau centered on
the car.  Use chalk on the heads of the fasteners on the car so that when
you get the tonneau placed properly you can transfer the chalk to the
underside of the tonneau fabric and thus locate where the tonneau fasteners
should go.

Al -

Can't comment on the quality, but to be fair the original tonneaus weren't
exactly top quality either.

Wait until you have a nice hot sunny summer day and park your car outside.
 Put the tonneau on the cement and let it sit in the midday sun for a good
hour.  After all of this, you will find that the tonneau will be pretty easy
to install.  After you've got the whole thing snapped up, let is sit for a
while and stretch into place in the sun.

Later, drive it inside then button it up again and let it sit overnight in
the cold air.  You may have to do it this way a couple of times, but she'll
eventually take shape and then it should work regardless if whether it's
cold or hot.  the more you can just leave it on the car, the better it will
take shape.

I think they are extremely busy and that they are shortstaffed at the moment
although there is no excuse for that as far as I am concerned. I had also
ordered some interior parts and it took quite a while to receive them and I
was dealing with their Canadian office in British Columbia. I called them
several times before it finally arrived. I know they have had some changes in
staff, at least at their B.C. office and whoever is there is not as much on
the ball as the person who was there previously.

I second the set it in the sun on a hot day suggestion.  I would add,
install it as tight as possible.  You want to have to fight to get it
fastened when first done.  With use it will stretch and it will be just
right.

Al,
Assuming you have a Robbins product, for a BT7 at least, one has to request
a brass zipper if that is what one prefers, either for quality or to match
original.

Really too bad when a small company that has laboriously established a 
reputation for excellent quality over the years lets it slide by not paying 
sufficient attention to customer service. And it's also amazing how fast bad 
customer service can rob a company of financial health even when its product 
quality is still excellent. 
As a publisher who relies on healthy small companies for advertising 
income, I've watched too many go out of business because the front office was 
letting the back work rooms down.
Heritage advertises in both magazines I edit; I hope they can get their act 
together.

No No, this is where Murphy's law kicks in with a vengence, if you fit it 
tight assuming it will stretch, it will shrink, if you fit it loose assuming 
it will shrink....good luck

Subject: [Healeys] Front shock gasket question
Message-ID: <C80B3F2D.50A2%tjmorrio@colby.edu>

List folks,

I9m about to reinstall front shocks on my 65 BJ8. They were cleaned up and
painted, but have been sitting for about two months in a box. I now notice
that the gaskets are weeping  a little oil -- even after a tightening up
that back plate a month ago. They9re both in good shape otherwise I think
(good steady resistance). Is it ok to jus take the back plate off and
replace the gaskets or will bits pop out at me requiring more internal work?

Good source for gaskets? Or, can I make them up of standard gasket material?

Thanks,
Tom

I've never seen any fabric stretch with time except maybe those patio covers 
that catch rain and the weight eventually stretches the cover so it always 
catches rain and stretches more until it tears.
Tonnueaus and tops always shrink.  If you make the tonneau tight while it is 
in the sun you'll have a bear of a time getting it installed when it is 
older, cold and/or dark.  Even the sumbrella on my boat works that way.  I'd 
recommend installing with a good fit but certainly not tight.

This has been the story for heritage ever since they opened for
business.  The best product, slow service, lousy communication.

I would doubt they are having any problems other than not enough
trained staff to do the work.

Unfortunately for me, for my restoration I will probably avoid dealing
with them because of their long reputation for being slow and not
communicating.  Frankly almost all interior options out there will
result in an interior that is nicer than what came from the factory!

Subject: [Healeys] Healey with seatbelts after accident
Message-ID: <9A35E1D09D134895BFDD4EA95936B9BA@rac>

Hi Dave,

I viewed the accident pics and am very surprised the occupants are not dead.
I was told that 3-point seat belts were less safe than lap belts when there is
no headrest.

Additionally, in 1962 I was coming out of the Holland Tunnel from Manhattan
and I came across an MGA that had gone through a red light as 19-wheeler began
through the intersection.  Needless to say, the MGA wound up under the trailer
with the box resting across a flattened windscreen.  When the fire department
responded, they jacked the trailer and, to the astonishment of all, the driver
popped the door and crawled free.

At that time, lap belts were uncommon and 3-point belts where rare if at all
available.  My conclusion; if the MGA driver had a 3-point belt he would have
been dead as laying across the seats would not have been an option.  Although
I am open to 3-point belts now (still concerned about the lack of headrests),
with the size of SUVs and other truck-like vehicles commonly found on today's
roads, I remain unsure that they are a good idea.

Jim,

What car?  When was it judged and where?  Who judged the car?

I'll need to see the score sheets to determine where to go on correcting the
non original items.

Cheers,

This is just the sort of thing that makes me ashamed to even

notice
that the gaskets are weeping a little oil -- even after a tightening up

think (good steady resistance). Is it ok to jus take the back plate off 
and replace the gaskets or
will bits pop out at me requiring more internal work?

Good source for gaskets? Or, can I make them up of standard gasket material? >>

N.F.I. !!!!

Shox ARE a SAFETY item.  If [and/or when] one or more is 
"leaking" there IS more that is WRONG with it/them.  They 
ARE at least 40 years OLD.

There is ZERO doubt in MY mind that a "sign" such as that
MEANS that they need PROFESSIONAL attention, and NOT
some "shadetree self-professed wrench" assessment and
REPAIR !!!

If one cannot afford to take care of a SAFETY item, one
should NOT be driving the vehicle [and gives rise to the question
of "should I even own this car"??], period.

Hi Ray, seatbelts have been compulsory (both fitment and wearing) in  
Australia for around 40 years.

I suspect you are confused about 4 point harnesses and 3 point  
seatbelts. If you wear a 4 point harness (ie one strap over each  
shoulder) then you can't eg move your upper body towards the centre of  
the vehicle, lay across the other seat etc. I would never wear or fit  
a 4 point harness to any vehicle which doesn't have rollover protection.

Laying across the seats is absolutely possible with a 3 point lap sash  
seatbelt. The shoulder strap passes over the shoulder closest to the  
door - not the 'inside' shoulder.

Every car sold in Australia post the mid/ late 1960's or so has  
seatbelts fitted (every "outboard" seat is 3 point lap sash) and you  
get fined/ lose licence points / potentially killed if you don't wear  
them.

My Healey, and 2 previous Sprites have all had rollbars and 4/ 5 point  
harnesses. My prev 100/4 had lap sash 3 point, no rollbar.

I'll assume you're kidding.

That's about as silly as saying I'll just stick my arms out to absorb the
impact!

SEATBEATS, USE THEM, and oh by the way, it's been proven that just using lap
belts are essentially worse than useless.  Take it from the guy who wears
the five point harness cinched as tight as I can make it in the cockpit,
while my passengers just have lap belts.  Why do you think the flight
attendants have you bend over in your seat as in "assume the crash
position?"

Chris,

Watch some videos of violent rollover crashes and tell me how you think
you'll be able to stay lying down when the car rolls violently 4 or 5
times.

I hope you also don't think that if the elevator fails you can just jump up
the moment before impact ;-^)

Cheers,

Curt

Make sure your passenger belt is always latched, then you can grab it
and pull yourself down when you're a flippin'

I have only dealt with Heritage for all my trimming needs since 2001. I 
cannot and will not speak on their behalf other than to state a couple of 
things.

1. I always place my orders well in advance of needing them, like at least 6 
to 8 months in advance. It almost always takes at least 4 to 5 month turn 
around to receive the order.

2. From what I understand they no longer have the luxury of a person who can 
sit and answer phones through the day, but will usually always return Email 
inquiries within a few days.

Hi Jim,

The obvious answer to me would be to go after the items that are most at 
fault (engine compartment, interior and soft trim, boot and loose equipment) 
and see what you can do to rectify these areas.

I am not at all familiar with the particular set of judging sheets or series 
of car you refer to but I can pretty well imagine from experience what is 
likely most at fault here.
1. Engine compartment: wrong screws and fasteners, I.e. Posidrive screw 
heads required on later BJ8's, British style hex heads on bolts, obvious 
older leaks, wrong paint finishes, wrong or non period components fitted.

2. Interior and soft trim is the most common downfall in Concours with poor 
fitting or wrongly shaped seats, wrong carpets, poor fitting panels, door 
seals, etc.

3. Boot and loose equipment, wrong or missing tool kit, wrongly bound or 
installed Armacord, wrong battery or hardware, non matching spare 
wheel/tire.

Hope this helps

Although my comment was give as a request for further information, I really
didn't expect the sarcasm unleashed.

As an ex SCCA driver who has rolled over in the early 60s and was saved by a
roll bar, helmet, and 5-point belts, I am well aware of the benefits provided
by seat belts since I originally installed them on my 1958 Pontiac Bonneville
convertible.

As for laying across the seat; when in a desperate situation the tendency is
to step on the brakes and, with that action, the 3-point retractable belts
will lock and, as designed, restrain almost all movement.

To the point of not having a head rest; It has been my understanding that the
whiplash caused by a 3-point belt, where a head rest is not present, can be
extremely devastating and, in this case, a lap belt was recommended as a
better choice.

As with all things, new research may prove my understandings wrong.  My post
was meant to update my perceptions from the experiences of the list.

Sorry to have posted.

All -

I have my old Lucas CRT wiper motor apart and am wondering if packing the
gear case / brass armature bearing / cable with white lithium wheel bearing
grease is ok?

I note the 59 yr. old bearing grease in the case is still softish, but very
sticky, was wondering it that's the way this stuff is supposed to be?  If
not I'll clear it all out, the motor turns  a bit slow and I think it's
because of the sticky grease.

Thoughts?

Movement can be impeded with fixed 3 point belts when pulled tight, 
however hardly with reeled belts.
Another point which is often overlooked/ignored in fitting seatbelts, 
and especially those in classic cars, is the position of the receiving 
buckle. The buckle is often way to high up. The lap belt should be 
positioned on the thighs/pelvis, never ever across the abdomen. This 
will leed to lethal internal injury in a not even to serious crash.
The buckle opening should be as close to the meeting point seat  
squab/back rest as possible and most importantly barely protruding over 
the seat squab.
A good (wrong) example is the Jensen Healey. The original reeled 
seatbelt has its buckle so high that the lap belt is over the abdomen 
and cannot be positioned over the thighs/pelvis. Absolutely lethal.

similar and repack with grease. You can use Lithium grease but I have 
used Molykote grease in the past. Do not pack it to the brim, use it 
reasonably sparingly. If you have everything apart, turn the gears for 
the wiper spindles 180degrees to compensate for wear. This will give you 
a lot less play in the wipers. Use oil to lubricate the spindles, grease 
for the cable/gear.

Kees -

Would grease in the bronze ball armature bearing be correct, or some sort of
oil?

Aloan,
As bronze in bearings is usually of the sintered variety I would tend to 
oil them. Sintered bronze is porous and will absorb the oil in its 
cavities. Leave to soak for 24 hours or immerse in oil, heat up (beware 
of fire hazard) and let cool down (still immersed in the oil). No harm 
would be done if you do both oil (first) and grease them.

You do need a grease that won't dry out.
Industry suggests that a lithium based grease is long lasting but my 
experience is that it dries, shrinks and cracks after a couple of years of 
exposure to air.  It may be that in the wiper motor box it won't do that.
The old stuff lasted nigh on 60 years so can you get more of it?

Hi Curt,

I don't need to try to lie down if I roll my BJ8, and have never been  
interested in testing the theory.

As I said,

"My Healey, and 2 previous Sprites have all had rollbars and 4/ 5  
point harnesses."

Proper full width rollbars, several inches above my head.

And I use the stairs
;-)

I cleaned the old grease out.  It smelled a little like rotten food,
which suggests it's about 50 years past its freshness date.

I am going to use Japanese lithium wheel bearing grease...  I will oil
the bronze  bearing but I'm not so sure about heating it up, it's
still a good fit on the armature which suggests it's pretty hearty.

you can double that in spades for tops (hoods).  install it as tight as you
can get it in the summer (when you don't use it) and then get ready for the
fun when you try to make it stretch in the winter. Peter is correct, the fit
should be judicious.

Alan,

Another thought to add to the lubrication already recommended. If the motor 
is turning rather slowly after almost 60 years, you might wish to check and 
clean the carbon out from between the commutator segments. Over the years 
the brushes will have worn to a degree and the worn off carbon ends up 
between the segments, becoming somewhat of a conductor.

YMMV I guess. The last Robbins top I installed was on an MGB.  
Installed it snug but not tight. A month later I had to redo where it  
attached at the header rail as the top was now floppy loose from the  
wind buffeting it. I took up about 1/2" all accross the header rail.

Listers,

I thought I would offer a contrasting view of Heritage Upholstery.   
About 6 years ago I did a complete carpet replacement in our BJ8.   
When the set of carpet pieces arrived from Heritage I was baffled by  
where to start.  I contacted Heritage to get some advice.  Very  
shortly I received an email with 47 jpeg images attached.  The  
photographs were complete with captions and arranged numerically in  
the preferred order of installation.  Later in the process I ran into  
a serious problem with the transmission cover segment.  It simply  
could not be made to fit and snap at the correct points.  Heritage  
replaced the piece at no charge and with no debate.  I have continued  
to have the same level of satisfaction with subsequent interior  
upholstery orders.  Heritage has done very well by me.  I am sorry  
others have not had a similar experience.

Message-ID: <000801caef8f$6bf9b850$6401a8c0@9535DEE118EC44B>

The amount of stretch in a top or tonneau cover for a given material is built
into the tailoring.   A top is designed to have an exact, uniform clearance
around the side windows, and one can get an initial feel for the amount of
tightness or stretch needed overall by pulling on the front until that
clearance is the same all around the side windows.  The rain gutters flow into
the window posts, and the front corner side flaps should come fairly close to
the posts.

The amount of stretch also varies according to the material.  The original
Everflex or Vynide material was fairly hefty yet stretched just the right
amount.  Same with Stayfast.  Heritage repro everflex is thinner and stretches
more than the original.  On the other hand, Robbins' in-house Colonial Grain
is very heavy and coarse and has comparatively little give.

 As the tailoring on tops got more complicated with more double and triple
layers and built-in reinforcing flaps such as on an MGB top, there is little
stretch possible apart from the flat main roof section.

The bows themselves are often ignored.  As the tailoring is hopefully based on
an original car (not always the case), the positioning of the bows should be
as close to original as possible. With fifty years' worth of abuse and
rebuilding , especially in the rear wheelarch area, the position of the BT 7's
bows' locating tubes or BJ 8's plinth can vary considerably.  Make sure the
arcs are even.  Measure up from the floors, especially on a BJ 8, to make sure
the bows are square and even side to side in relation to the windshield, and
ensure they fold down neatly without colliding with each other in the rear
well.  BN 6 and 7 bows have adjuster screws built into the feet.

A tonneau cover of course needs the bow and stiffeners in place, or in the
case of the two-seaters, the top stowed properly (facing rearwards on the BN
6-7).  Washers can be dropped into the locating tubes to level out a tonneau
bow.

Mark all centres on top & body, fix the back first, pull the material forward,
temporarily tack the front centre, and work out towards the sides.

Vinyl acquires serious creases from being folded up in a box often for years.
These creases need to be relaxed with a heat gun first (but don't liquefy the
vinyl !), as these pinch points add up and reduce the overall dimensions.

The finished job should be steamed with a hand steamer to relax the fabric and
take out creases, but this is not a cure-all for a bad fit.

Best regards
Peter

someone tell me if there is a way for me to stow the top behind the squab

It's hard to tell where it came from.  I asked the Moss dealer [Little
British Car Co] to confirm the material, etc, and never got a response.  

 

Separately, I didn't see anything on either Moss's website nor on the
dealer's regarding choice of zipper.  I have compared the zipper on my old
tonneau, a couple of local friend's cars and the new one, and the new zipper
is by far the smallest of the bunch!  I would prefer the brass zipper
instead of the zipper on the new tonneau, which is a smaller gauge plastic.

 

I'll return the tonneau and see what I have to do to get a 'good' one.
[That is assuming that I don't get the usual run-around].

Al,

Assuming you have a Robbins product, for a BT7 at least, one has to request
a brass zipper if that is what one prefers, either for quality or to match
original.

All:

 

I just received a new tonneau from Moss Motors, which arrived without

instructions on the install process.  I don't see anything in the archives

as to whether it's best to start at the front and work back, start at the

back and work front or do the side fasteners first.  Any experience will be

greatly appreciated.

 

BTW, I am completely dis-impressed with the quality of the tonneau on first

look.  I would expect an outdoor item like this to have a substantial

zipper, etc.  [sigh]

If I understand all the comments correctly, a tonneau will constantly
stretch and shrink depending on the sunshine falling on it.   Please correct
me if I mis-understand.

 

Given the above, wouldn't it serve a car better to fit/stretch a tonneau on
a "medium" day, so that it is in the middle of its stretch cycle?

I second the set it in the sun on a hot day suggestion.  I would add,
install it as tight as possible.  You want to have to fight to get it
fastened when first done.  With use it will stretch and it will be just
right.

Can't comment on the quality, but to be fair the original tonneaus weren't

Wait until you have a nice hot sunny summer day and park your car outside.
 Put the tonneau on the cement and let it sit in the midday sun for a good
hour.  After all of this, you will find that the tonneau will be pretty easy
to install.  After you've got the whole thing snapped up, let is sit for a
while and stretch into place in the sun.

All,



I'm considering installing a radio in my BJ8.  I'd ideally like a stereo
AM/FM/CD unit that fits in the original spot.  Any recommendations for the
unit/speakers and speaker placement?  Vintage Car Radio sells an inverter so
polarity is not an issue.    Thanks!

Later, drive it inside then button it up again and let it sit overnight in

eventually take shape and then it should work regardless if whether it's

take shape.

Charlie,

Yes, Robbins is the best fitting top IMHO. Now sold by Moss.

Its hard to improve on the stowing instructions in the handbook.  However,
while the window is relatively protected by the clean inside of the top on one
face and the side flaps (with their scratchy fasteners) on the other face, it
wouldn't hurt to put a towel on each side of the window when stowing.

I've enclosed a scan of the handbook instructions and pictures.

Hi Mark

If I combine your comments below with those of Rich Chrysler from last 
evening and my limited but
positive experience (which includes photos) I distill the somewhat 
negative responses into two points:
(a.) lack of  planning and (b.) the current attitude in society today of 
the need for instantaneous satisfaction
and "I'm on my the next interest".

Kind regards
Ed

It's all described step by step with photos in the original Owners Handbook

Al

The original Everflex material has a cotton backing, which, being a natural
material, shrinks over time.  My BN 6 tonneau for which I still have my
initial sewing pattern, shrank about one inch overall in a dozen years use out
in the rain. This is the fabric actually getting smaller in the long term, as
opposed to a tightening and relaxing of the PVC coating with daily temperature
changes.  Nowdays acrylic fabrics are less affected by moisture.

BMC used to sell a protective sealant for the natural cotton threads used in
the tops and tonneaus.  Some people use beeswax.  This kept (delayed ?) the
water from soaking through the stitching into the cotton backing.

Dealing with a top manufacturer from a distance twice removed ( LBC to Moss to
Robbins) may not end up being all that satisfactory.  To a huge manufacturer
dealing in thousands of New Beetle and Miata tops, your brass zipper can fall
almost below the radar.

While Robbins and Moss are friendly and willing to help as best they can, your
tonneau with its special requirements might have had to be treated as a
special order right from the start, not just as a standard item stocked in
quantity by a secondary dealer.  Its possible to talk directly to the Robbins
staff when initially placing your order, and they can accommodate your needs
and assign you a special order number to keep track of your particular item.
Special treatment usually comes at a price, though.

Speaking of which, their revised suggested retail price list is somewhat of an
eye-popper to someone still living in the eighties.  Their Healey list has
always been a head-scratcher to me, for example, why would a BJ 7 tonneau be
nearly two hundred dollars more than a BJ 8 tonneau ?

Best
Peter

My concern is the plastic window being damaged because it's larger than the
original window, but after the responses I received I followed the
instructions in the owner's handbook and just made sure that only the
material was folded - and not the window.  Tight, but it does work.  Thanks
everyone.

These kind of firms do not deal in mass produced goods and do not have a 
huge stock if any at all, so it will take some time to get things in and 
send on. Main thing is they can supply what you want but the drawback 
with all these firms is that it requires some patience. Give them a 
break please, they are enthousiasts working for other enthousiasts.

It will expand (temperarely) when hot so if you fit it tightly it will 
stretch (permanently) into something that has taken the right shape.

Terry, whatever you buy, DO NOT get the Moss Motors Retro Sound unit if you
are at all interested in quality of sound.

I bought on 1 1/2 years ago it is a very poor sound and does not adjust. I
bought very high rated speakers that were within specs of the radio.
Additionally it takes a lot more work to get it to fit than they imply. Plus
the iPod connection broke within a couple weeks.

This link below is to a place that has been highly recommended to me but have
not used them yet. I will. They will take a period AM or AM/FM radio and put
modern electronics in to whatever specs / needs you want. You can preserve the
period look this way also.

I have used clean terry cloth towels to buffer any scratching between 
materials on my MGB top windows and will do the same for my Healey BT7 top. 
However if you have a lot of dust covering the plastic window when storing 
the top it may act as an abrasive when folded.  So clean is important if 
possible.

Curt, Ray and all,

I DO HAVE SEATBEATS IN BOTH MY HEALEYS AND I WEAR THEM.  The BN7 has an inertia reel 3 pt belt, the BJ8 only lap belts.  Ray stated that laying across the seat was not an option.  I merely expressed disagreement with that as a possibility.  With the inertia reel the shoulder part is loose enough that one could indeed lay across the seats - yes, and that choice would have to be made prior to applying the brake.

I am not saying that it is what I would do if I was aware of an impending front end crash.  I only am stating that I feel it is possible.  Granted with the 4 pt or 5 pt belts the option is not there.

Amen & truth, Mark -:) !!!   What I learned that awhile back
[NO, I will NOT tell anybody just HOW 'long' ago tho -:)!! ]
is that the "Bath" or "Beach" size [manufacturer dependant] towels come 
close to the size one needs.*  *To "alter" the size,
just cut to "close" BUT one MUST use "pinking" [or serrated] scissors so 
that the "new" edges do not come unraveled whilst
you are looking at the "new" towel.

<< However if you have a lot of dust covering the plastic window when

Agreed and the dust WILL give one grief -:) !!.

<< So clean is important if possible. >>

ABSOLUTELY, which is why I carry a spray bottle of plain,
clean water -:) !!

Subject: [Healeys] Dead generator
Message-ID: <D9344D1D5C1A46A78DFA8B9B8789CAA5@DC5100>

To all of you who read my cry for help and specificallly those who gave me
advise, here is an update.

It took a while to get my generator problems fixed since I was on a one week
holiday first.
I decided to take the easy approach: go back to the garage (driving the Healey
with the faulty generator still mounted) where I bought the generator. My luck
is that this garageowner repairs/owns/restores big Healeys and is only half an
hour away..

His first conclusion was that the voltage regulator was probably broken. After
having him convinced that I should have read generator output on my voltmeter,
he decided to get his and and some documentation. It looked like the generator
was not OK.
He got a new generator and bolted it on my engine. I started the engine and
after about one second, the ignition light dimmed.
Problem fixed!!

So this was another great example of Murphy's law, where both my old generator
and the new one showed exactely the same symptoms.

Best regards,
Ron Kraimaat

Guys, I used to be the representative for Oilite self-lubricating bearings
in The Netherlands. The oiling instructions are as Kees suggested: immerse
in (engine) oil, heat till approx 80 to 90 deg C or 175 to 195 F, cool down
to room temp, take bearing(s) out. Do NOT use grease as grease will clog the
pores of the bearing.

   Anyone in the know care to comment?  Will there be a brick and mortar

Nothing else happened.  I moved my cursor over the black screen and the 
'video control panel' came up.  I clicked on the 'play' button and the video 
started.  All that I viewed worked using that sequence.

It took a while to get my generator problems fixed since I was on a one week
holiday first. I decided to take the easy approach: go back to the garage
(driving the HealeyB with the faulty generator still mounted) where I bought
the generator. My luck is that this garageowner repairs/owns/restores big
Healeys and is only half an hour away..

His first conclusion was that the voltage regulator was probably broken. After
having him convinced that I should have read generator output on my voltmeter,
he decided to get his and and some documentation. It looked like the generator
was not OK. He got a new generator and bolted it on my engine. I started the
engine and after about one second, the ignition light dimmed. Problem fixed!!

So this was another great example of Murphy's law, where both my old generator
and the new one showed exactely the same symptoms.

Have you ever rolled a car?
I have.  I flipped an MGB and landed upside down about 15 feet below road
level.  I was wearing a ( lap and shoulder ) seatbelt with no roll bar and,
while I know all accidents are different and one solution doesn't suit all
circumstances, all I could see was a blur of spinning leaves and my life
flashing before my eyes.  The forces acting on me did not allow for me to do
anything except go for the ride.  I wound up suspended above the ground,
tangled up in the seatbelt.  Just dumb luck, I figure.
I'm not saying that hugging the passenger seat while wearing a seatbelt, isn't
an option in some cases though.  I did just that

Thanks Rick:
I am personally running the rich UN needles because the prior shop said I
needed to.  Now that I know how to set the BJ8 carbs, I am wondering whether
they were right or not.  They had it way out of tune.  About all I do when
setting the carb is to get the settings correct at idle so the needles
should make no diff if they are the same diameter at idle. After that the
tuneup needles in the dashpots go up and down in sync as I increase the
RPMs.  I suppose if it was put on a DYNO, or put an O2 meter on the exhaust,
or by one of the other methods we could find a better needle match at all
the other RPMs.

A radio CD-player is not a good idea in these cars. The CD will jump 
tracks all the time. Better get a period 2-shaft FM/AM radio or 
radio-cassette player (slightly later date) e.g. from Becker or 
Blaupunkt. They often have an AUX input DIN-socket that can be used for 
an MP3 unit or stick. I am sure there are other makes as well that have 
the AUX input socket.

I thought maybe because of headers, I might have to change needles, but
the engine dyno said standards were still the right ones. I also am
driving around with a O2 meter under the dash and standards seem ok.
I made a needle chart with graph paper years ago and the difference
between the three needles only occurs at higher RPM.

What are the concours correct water hose clamps for a late model 1956 BN2? 
 
I am looking at March-April 2010 Healey Mag p. 11. Are these also correct for
the BN2?
 
Looks like wire clamps with slotted round-head screws. So I order clamps from
Moss and replace the hex head screws with round-head screws. Right?

Moss supplies the banjo bolt and banjo fitting for the cylinder head assembly
on 100-4's, but not the tapered thread union. they do carry the entire array
for the 100-6 2-port head.

can you substitute the tapered thread union for 100-6's in place of the one
which was supplied on 100-4's, or is it one of those thread transitions that
makes it impossible? alternately, can you modify a brake caliper union to fit
in?

Jim,

Sounds to me that you need to have the National Concours Registry 2010 CD 
that has all this detailed information in it. The clamps for the BN2 would 
be the flat band style with the split cotter pin head that winds it up to 
tighten. The double wire clamps didn't come in 'till much later, with the 
late 100/Six's

Allen -

Are you talking about the Rocker Arm pedestal?  if you need it restored,
just send your whole rocker arm to Rocker Arm Specialists.  HIGHLY
recommended and he will fix all that for you:

http://www.rockerarms.com/

I had him rebuild my rocker arm assembly (same as the 100) and he replaced
that pedestal which had the bad threads.  His prices are VERY reasonable.

Incidentally, when assembling the rocker arms, it is better to put the oil
feed pipe on the rocker pedestal first, then connect it to the head second,
not the other way around.  If you do that you'll never have stripped
threads.

Keith,

There are 3 studs that protrude from the back face (toward the front of the 
car) of the heater/blower assembly. The two upper studs pass through a 
single vertical plate that sits up from the scuttle box on the centre line 
of the car. These will be fastened by running flat washers, lock washers and 
1/4" nuts onto the studs. The third stud will pass through a single hole and 
into the scuttle box. The flat, lock, and nut will be attached by installing 
them in through the single large hole in the bulkhead, again on centre line 
of the car, and located right behind the engine. When these are installed, a 
blanking plug fills the access hole in the bulkhead.
The 3 mounting point are visible on this freshly prepared chassis bulkhead.

Chris,

You know I was only kidding about the elevator since we all know that
elevators don't work "down unda" since you're all upside down to begin with.

Did the same thing on Friday October 13, 1972 (you won't wonder why I
remember the date.) Early snow in Nova Scotia, and my first wife and I were
driving our Datsun 2000 home from holiday towards New York. About noon, coming
up
towards an overpass, we were t-boned by a young driver who had his license
for only three days, sliding out of control on the "bridges freeze first"
ice. Knocked us over the embankment, and we rolled two and a half times before
coming to rest upside down. As the car started to go over the first time,
all i could remember was thinking about all the effort I'd put in up to that
point in my life wasted in an instant.
At the end of it, my wife found herself hanging upside down, me unconscious
next to her (having knocked my head on the steering wheel), so she reached
over and started beeping the horn, then looked at me and realized I still
had my pipe in my mouth, so she removed that, thinking it would be silly of
them to find me dead with my pipe in my mouth (shock does strange things to
your mind). Once the handy Canadian road crew working nearby had rolled the
car over (by hand -- how many guys does that take?) they got me out, and I
came to as they were loading me into the ambulance.
Net result: one very totalled 1969 Datsun 2000, and lots of seat belt
bruises and sore muscles on both of us. Score two for seat belts, even in
roadsters with no roll bars.
Now I even put my belt on in the shuttle van going to the remote airport
parking lot.

Cheers
Gary

No, the BN2 takes ribbon band clamps (if memory serves, I think Norman 
called them "Jubilee clamps." Check with British Car Specialists; if anyone has 
them, they will.
But don't guess; order the concours guidelines from Mike Osipik (info in 
the back of the AH Magazine) and be sure.

Cheers

They will work just fine; if anything, they're over-engineered compared to 
the later wire clamps, and are actually better than the standard clamps 
everyone sells these days.

Incredible story.  Must make you thankful to be alive and for what you have.
 Sort of seems like the stories we all know of guys being in battle
and surviving.

Thanks for that!

I agree with you regarding ribbon clamps. I let Roger Moment have a few 
originals in BMC packets some years ago.

However I believe that your reference to Norman is wrong. Jubilee is or 
was in 1956, a British company that made worm drive hose clips. Not 
ribbon type to the best of my knowledge The company that made them was 
L. Robinson and Co. (Gillingham) Ltd.

If you are just looking to keep warm, you may find this will keep
you warmer with a lot less installation effort:

The arms are also wired, so your torso and arms get heat. It works great
on my motorcycle for hours down to 32F/0C. You can probably find a more
local vendor.

Jim,

If you need a set of these clamps (4) I had several dozen made up some years
ago that I sold to fellow list members.

Let me know and I can send you out a set.  I only have several sets left.

Cheers,

Folks,
 
A friend is need of a crankshaft pulley/damper for a BJ8.
His preference is to buy an original used one in good condition rather than
buying the harmonic crank balancer offered by Moss.  Any comments on this
approach?
 
If anyone has a used pulley/damper and is willing to sell it, please contact
me off list.
 
Thanks.

Hi Ron,

If your problem is a delaminated harmonic balancer, I would suggest you not
get another questionable 40-year old unit and investigate the original's
repair.  A while back, a friend was looking for a Healey harmonic damper and
found Dale Manufacturing ( http://www.dalemfg.com/harmonicbalancer_018.htm ),
a small organization that repaired his original for about $100 + shipping.
They dismantled his original unit and remanufactured it with a life time
guaranty on the rubber bond.  This was a few years ago and he has had no
problems with the unit to date.

I would encourage you NOT to purchase an aluminum radiator.
Impossible to maintain with time, and needs a screen on the hot pipe
to keep crud out of the rad.

If you still have your old radiator, why don't you just have it
recored?  If not, it is best just to buy a used one and have it
recored.

There are multiple contact glues on the market and we cannot get LePages
here in the Minneapolis that I can find.  Per the archives, the 3M products
are recommended.  Which is the best choice for the interior on wood: 3M

I don't know about vendors, but I would highly recommend getting a double core
installed. The difference is fantastic and you can't tell the difference when
lookiing at it.

I have a stock radiator that I took out of my '65 BJ-8 several years ago.
There was nothing wrong with it when I took it out, but I got a deal on a
"Texas Cooler" that I couldn't pass up.  Asking $150 plus shipping from WI.

If you need a new radiator get your old one recored with extra rows. It will
require modification of the lower tank and a shoe horn to reinstall, but you
almost can't tell the difference when you look at it and what a difference.  I
had mine done several years ago.  My car has never run so well. Runs under
200F under almost every condition.  I tried everything.  Got the old one
recored to original, Texas cooler, 6 blade California fan, oil cooler, etc.
Nothing worked!  Adding extra rows cured everything.  I can run at 70 MPH in
90F + and the car never gets to hot.

I am not an expert but read something that said contact adhesives like these 
sprays will not hold long term and especially in the heat.   The glues will 
affect the vinyl and eventually release.   As mentioned earlier, you need a 
glue that is made for Vinyl.    I used Contact Cement for Vinyl from 
McMasters.

I was looking at the wiring diagram and I can't figure out what this "EI"
black box does.  Normally I think of Judson as/was a quality firm, but this
seems like one of those 1960's tricks for "improving performance."

Any of you older guys out there have a clue what this thing does?

Just curious, I have no intention of buying this thing.  The coil looks nice
though!

triggered by the points (effectively a system that reduced the voltage draw
across the points to keep them from burning over time).

triggered by the points (effectively a system that reduced the voltage draw
across the points to keep them from burning over time).

John,

Gloss black is fine.  Anyway, I personally will not have you pull up your
Armacord in the boot to check for paint shine on the tank.

So basically, the distributor becomes some sort of switching mechanism.  I
suppose the advantage is the points don't get burned and thus timing advance
remains constant.

I f you still have your old radiator, have a new core put in with extra 
cooling capacity and a 20mm metric threaded hole  for a thermostaat 
switch in a suitable place in the header tank. This for a possible 
fitment of an electric fan. There are plenty of varying thermoswitches 
to choose from in 20mm thread.

Not unlike the do-it-yourself transistor mod for SU fuel pumps, where 
the points just switch a transistor and the transistor switches the load 
to the coil?

According to one of the forum posters, the 'transistor' wasn't even 
connected.  If that's the case, then the device was likely a fraud.

It is a capacitance discharge system. Judson made them as after market
devices in several iterations. I had one built into a coil for my Checker
Marathon. It failed after a few years.

If I remember correctly, it simply used a condenser to build up the spark
for an extra zap to the plugs.

Bet not too many of you ever owned a Checker.

Have the radiator re-cored with additional cores.  I have done this on healey
as well as Morgan and TR radiators running in Las Vegas NV with significant
improvement in cooling.  These re-cores are dead reliable in 115 degree
ambient temp (125+++ on the road at intersections).

Under no circumstances should you install an electric fan.  The stock fan
moves significantly more air at idle than any electric fan I have seen.
Electric fans make nothing but noise.  If you are moving away from a stock
condition (which you would be with the electric fan), The flex a lite fan
moves enough air at idle to make it difficult to shut the bonnet, doesn't add
additional components and complexity to your car (why add electrical equipment
to a british car!!!)

A heater is nothing more than a heat exchanger as is a radiator. A 
competent shop should be able to recore it.

Not really an issue in concours inspection. Gloss would be fine. I'm 
thinking (from memory) that the bottom would be painted body color where it is 
visible through the boot opening underneath the car, but you might want to 
confirm that with others on this list.

No part of the fuel tank was ever painted body colour. The simple thing to 
remember is that body colour was applied to the completed and fitted body 
shell and it's associated supports, fasteners, etc. and nothing more.
Any basic satin through gloss black will be fine for the fuel tank.

Actually if you think about it, all points equipped systems use the points
as a switch that turns the coil on and off.  The difference is that in a
traditional points system the points are switching a bunch of amperage (6
amps comes to mind, but my memory could be failing).  Switching this high
current caused points to pit and wear out.  In an effort to make points
systems more reliable, first came transistorized ignition systems which used
the points at a very low voltage and amperage to switch a transistor, which
then switched a power transistor to turn the coil on and off.  With these
systems point arcing is eliminated.  Assuming the rubbing block stays lubed,
the points will last many many times longer than the a traditional system.
A capacitive discharge system or CD as they were known adds a big capacitor
to the system to kick the power out of the coil up to either a higher
voltage, or a longer spark duration.  Still the points act as a switch to
turn a transistor on and off.
So what is this Judson unit?
Beats the crap out of me.  I do not believe it is a capacitive discharge
system for a couple of reasons.
1. Look at the wiring schematic  The wire from the coil is still going to
the points  The points are switching the current from the coil.  Not like
any transistorized system I ever saw.  Not like any CD system I ever saw.
2.  the name See-dee.  Sounds like CD but note the spelling is different.
Back in the day everyone called them CD systems and when written it was
always CD.  Never see-dee.
I'm thinking that this is just one more item in a long line of snake oil
that has been sold to car owners under the guise of more performance, better
gas mileage, lower emissions.

I think buying a new one is a great idea, however some people (like myself)
don't have unlimited funds to spend on a car.

An original one is going to have hardened/cracked rubber in it.  How could it
not after 40+ years?

I got the one on my BJ7 rebuilt by the damper doctor.  Other than coming back
with three small holes in it that he must use to align it.  I see nothing
wrong with it.  For around $100+ I'm satisfied.

Jack,

You're not missing anything.  The more-or-less direct contact on this 
list is more valuable, IMO.

Like Betty White said, FB is "a huge waste of time."   Someday, others 
will figure that out.

 It doesn't appear to cater for the rolling radius as opposed to the 
inflated radius of the tyre.  The results may be in the ball park but could 
be around the outfield!.

Jack - and listers,

Facebook has been slapped down hard by the European Commission over this. see:

<http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/762b2366-5dff-11df-8153-00144feab49a.html>

Apparently it has already had to change its procedures in Canada - and some
aspects of its way of working are actually illegal in Germany. Probably Facebook
has gone topo far in search of revenues.

Exactly how were the cars painted at the factory?  Were the fenders/ shrouds
painted on the inside prior to fitting and then the exterior (fitted body)
painted?  I would assume the boot, bonnet, splash pan (where applic.), and
doors were painted separately.  Did the process change during the years?  Did
they always use the red oxide color primer?

The bodies were assembled, fitted and painted at the Jensen works. We know 
from a number of period photos showing the Hundred body shells being fitted 
up prior to paint, that most of the panels were simply in a poor cheap 
primer at that point. This would indicate that the individual panels were 
not prepainted at all prior to assembly of the body shell. This is also in 
evidence each time we have the opportunity to dismantle an original car. All 
the inner surfaces tend to fade away from the spraying that could reach 
inside the assembled shells, to areas that simply faded from colour to 
primer. (i.e paint coverage near an open wheel arch that fades to no paint 
further in). In addition when dismantling an original car, there is no paint 
colour beneath mounting flanges, hinges, etc.
Thinking about this one step further, the body fasteners that were open and 
easy to reach with the spraying equipment, received the body colour as well.
There was a significant change to painting methods that were highlighted in 
a British trade paper dated early 1957, showing a then new "state of the 
art" painting line and facility at Jensens that seemed to be in full use by 
early 1956. The body shells coming down the line in the feature photos were 
BN2's, with some of them showing duotone paint schemes.
Interestingly this coincides with my Hundred Registry records that show 
about every 5th car or so coming through with duotone paintwork beginning in 
early 1956.

Subject: [Healeys] Screw terminals - keeping them connected?
Message-ID: <AANLkTikl7AW2BXLyWH_zV50CnFWSCkErGc4WIuYhGTPw@mail.gmail.com>

All -

On several of my cars I have screw terminals.  I notice that over time, they
don't seem to keep connection as well as the Lucar/bullet terminals on my
BJ8.

I was wondering if any of you have a trick to keeping the connections live,
hopefully forever, once they've been screwed down?

I am considering the following:

   1. Use copper anti-seize lubricant between screw and wire?
   2. solder/don't solder (i.e. tinning) copper wire tips?
   3. use dielectric/lithium grease between screw and wire?
   4. use nothing and splay out the wire ends?
   5. stop being such a Nancy-boy and just screw down the terminals every
   six months?

Any ideas welcome,

Alan

No, but I drove many of them, sometimes brand spankin new and sometimes the worst rattletrap you can imagine, as a taxi driver in Boston and NYC in the 70's. Customers prefered them, you could make more $ driving a Checker. Sitting up high, they were great in city traffic and roomy enough in back to have a party.

Soldering connectors (spade and bullet) and tinning wire ends is a good 
practice. I always do this if applicable and spray the 
connectors/connections first with WD40 and after fitting with 
preservative wax to keep moisture and corrosion at bay. Messy, but it 
seems to work well. Copper anti seize compound may lead to electrolitic 
corrosion and does not sound like a good idea. Perhaps better to use the 
aluminium variant.

Industrial Motor, switchgear, electrical connections tend to always have a
domed washer, v washer (washer bent in shape of v?) or spring washer??
Ring terminals properly crimped on to the wire also provide a flat surface for
the screw to seat on.

Nancy,  you go girl.

I can't figure out where the idea of putting any type of lubricant or 
antisieze on electrical contacts came from, but I keep reading where some 
people think its a good idea.   Even dielectric grease is suppose to be used 
sparingly on spark plug wire "boots" not directly on the
contacts.  And the old vaseline on the battery contacts is suppose to be 
done after the terminals are attached and then applied to the outside of the 
terminals as a protective coating.  So many misunderstood
areas on this topic.   Sorry if I strayed off topic.

I have never done it but I bet if I put my meter probes in some of the 
lubricants there wouldn't be much continuity showing on the meter so why 
would one use it for electrical connections.   They are more of an 
insulator.

 Nothing better than a direct contact between the metals,  soldering is 
preferred.

Mark

If by number "4. use nothing and splay out the wire ends"  You mean tighten 
them down hard enough so that the wire is really squished, that is what I 
have done and had no problem with the various underhood connections to the 
voltage regulator, funky control box for the turn signals etc.

I have always been instructed NOT to solder the wire ends and then crimp 
them under a screw. The soldered area of wire can in time and with 
vibration, crush down and change shape under pressure as well as introducing 
a brittleness to the wire just beyond the solder. I always bare the wire 
ends, twist them together and make sure they are all the way into the clean 
terminal socket. Then ensuring the screw itself is clean and the threads are 
in good condition, tighten the screw. This should splay the wire out in the 
socket area so it won't pull out.
I can't remember ever having a problem following this practice.

When I rewired my BJ7 15 years ago, I tinned the ends of all of the
wires where they went into screw terminals in places like the fuse
block, the ignition switch, etc.  I have never had to retighten them.

Subject: [Healeys] Fw:  AH factory paint process?
Message-ID: <2FCFEC1B53E84BBEAE48F45025370695@LIFEBOOK>

As we understand it the bodies were assembled, fitted and painted at the 
Jensen works. We know
 from a number of period photos showing the Hundred body shells being fitted
 up prior to paint, that most of the panels were simply in a poor cheap
 primer at that point. This would indicate that the individual panels were
 not prepainted at all prior to assembly of the body shell. This is also in
 evidence each time we have the opportunity to dismantle an original car. 
All
 the inner surfaces tend to fade away from the spraying that could reach
 inside the assembled shells, to areas that simply faded from colour to
 primer. (i.e paint coverage near an open wheel arch that fades to no paint
 further in). In addition when dismantling an original car, there is no 
paint
 colour beneath mounting flanges, hinges, etc.
 Thinking about this one step further, the body fasteners that were open and
 easy to reach with the spraying equipment, received the body colour as 
well.
 There was a significant change to painting methods that were highlighted in
 a British trade paper dated early 1957, showing a then new "state of the
 art" painting line and facility at Jensens that seemed to be in full use by
 early 1956. The body shells coming down the line in the feature photos were
 BN2's, with some of them showing duotone paint schemes.
 Interestingly this coincides with my Hundred Registry records that show
 about every 5th car or so coming through with duotone paintwork beginning 
in
 early 1956.

Not sure what you mean by 'screw terminals,'  like what our BN2 has on 
the fuse block and regulator?  Don't know if there is much you can do to 
secure them other than checking them occasionally.  Was advised not to 
tin the end of the wires going into the terminals because the solder 
'flows out.'  Sounds reasonable, but can't say for sure (we tinned them 
anyway).  I suppose you could use thread locker (sparingly).

For other connectors--spade, lucar, ring, etc.--the crimp type are 
preferred (over solder) in aircraft, but they use high quality 
connectors and tools (the ratcheting type is best).  You can get special 
aviation/marine grade connectors and tools that crimp them in two places 
simultaneously--one clamps the bare wire and the other puts a strain 
relief on the insulation.  The tools are ratcheting, and both the tool 
and the connectors are expensive, but for critical applications I 
believe they're worth it.  Heat shrink tubing on the connector makes 
everything look tidy and professional.  Cheap connectors and tools are 
almost guaranteed to fail eventually.

Here you'll find tools to make life easy (service from this company is 
excellent).  I highly recommend the tool to connect bullet connectors 
(SSC1):

I've taken to putting dielectric grease in the bullet-type connections 
to preclude corrosion.  This stuff is good:

Rich,
When you solder/tin the wire end one should never use corrosive acid to 
prep the ends but use resin core solder as used in electronics. It is 
probably not the hardening of the copper that creates problems but 
corrosion.
If a mechanical fracture occurs it will be because of vibration, 
regardless if it is soldered/tinned or not, however it will occur 
earlier in soldered/tinned wire ends where the area over which the wire 
flexes wil be less, conceded.
Always try to avoid vibration in wire ends by securing the ends of the 
wire by tying in the first inch or  so and/or use crimp hose ( also very 
effective as a marker if you use different colours crimp hose) to cover 
the joint with the bullet or spade connector or the eyelet made up with 
wire.
In the case of spade or bullet connectors I prefer the cheap&simple ones 
without the insulation in combination with soldering and crimp hose. 
This gives a much neater result. I hate the look of the squashed 
blue/red/yellow insulation of the usual modern connectors.

To confirm what Rich has said, I have an uncle who spent years in 
electrical components testing, and he has told me that both crimping 
and bullet type connectors avoid the effects of vibration on solder.

More wire terminal stuff.

If Military Wiring Specifications (Mil-Spec) is the gold standard, then I can
add to the conversation that for many years Mil-Spec has called for crimping
on many or most wire end connectors - even in many multi-wire connector
applications.

A 'potting' process, molded-in-place rubber-like material molded in place over
the wire ends and against the end connector, is sometimes added after
connections are made.  When potting is used it provides moisture protection
and as important additional stability against vibration or other movement
between wires or a wire bundle and a connector.  Ratchet tools in Mil-Sped
wiring are typical for making crimped connections.

This part baffles me though.  Not all Mil-Spec wire connections are crimped.
There is also Mil-Spec soldering.  And some wire connections are soldered,
soldered and potted, or soldered with heat shrink tubing applied over the
solder connection as one lister has described.  A main culprit with soldering
is something called wicking - solder traveling up a stranded wire from the
soldered end connection.  A stress riser is introduced in strands of wire at
the point where wicking ends.

I have never figured out why Mil-Spec sometimes calls for crimping and other
times soldering unless it's the environment the connector operates in.  An
engineer-type among the listers maybe could help sort this out.

Charlie:  A wide brimmed hat would seem to be the most protection for head 
and face; however, even with a cord under the chin holding in on, it won't 
stay in place due to wind buffeting.  A baseball cap would protect the top 
of your head but not your ears and face.  I find the best solution for me is 
a 'safari' type cap with the flap on the back.  It covers the top of your 
head, has a bill to protect most of your face, if the flap comes around far 
enough it covers the tops of your ears, and has the added feature of 
blocking the wind that is hitting the back of your neck and head.

Jonas's idea of the pilot cap would work, too.  ;-)

They sell cap leases  that clip to the cap to the collar of your shirt. But
use sun block of 50+ on your face, neck and arms. Banana Boat sells scalp
spray (non greasy) that I use when I'm not using a cap. I usually use a camo
colored safari hat with a large, soft brim that can be snapped up on either
side as needed. Sewed a  Healey emblem on  to make me feel less stupid.

    I Built a CD Ignition 1st back in 1965 for my VW, and then for my 1970 
ford Torino wagon, in both cases the points were not touched for over 
100,000 miles and they both ran much better, I now have one (home built) on 
the healey, the only thing I found out there is a small amount of point 
bounce in the healey and this played havoc with the CD ignition, so also 
installed  a pertronics to fire the CD ignition, It now works great and I 
have gained about 2 to 3 miles to the gallon.

Here  is the details of the Home built unit.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Lucas - Judson EI ??

Actually if you think about it, all points equipped systems use the points
 as a switch that turns the coil on and off.  The difference is that in a
 traditional points system the points are switching a bunch of amperage (6
 amps comes to mind, but my memory could be failing).  Switching this high
 current caused points to pit and wear out.  In an effort to make points
 systems more reliable, first came transistorized ignition systems which 
used
 the points at a very low voltage and amperage to switch a transistor, which
 then switched a power transistor to turn the coil on and off.  With these
 systems point arcing is eliminated.  Assuming the rubbing block stays 
lubed,
 the points will last many many times longer than the a traditional system.
 A capacitive discharge system or CD as they were known adds a big capacitor
 to the system to kick the power out of the coil up to either a higher
 voltage, or a longer spark duration.  Still the points act as a switch to
 turn a transistor on and off.
So what is this Judson unit?
Beats the crap out of me.  I do not believe it is a capacitive discharge
 system for a couple of reasons.
 1. Look at the wiring schematic  The wire from the coil is still going to
 the points  The points are switching the current from the coil.  Not like
 any transistorized system I ever saw.  Not like any CD system I ever saw.
2.  the name See-dee.  Sounds like CD but note the spelling is different.
 Back in the day everyone called them CD systems and when written it was
 always CD.  Never see-dee.
 I'm thinking that this is just one more item in a long line of snake oil
 that has been sold to car owners under the guise of more performance, 
better
gas mileage, lower emissions.

I've had a couple Panama straw hats that hung in ... fit them on the tight side because they stretch.

Visited the Dermatologist for the first time to have some spots hit with 
liquid nitrogen and to get a lecture on driving my Austin Healey without 
having a hat on. The problem is, no matter what hat I try to wear while 
driving the Austin Healey, it blows off my head in no time. Has anyone 
discovered the perfect Austin Healey driving hat so that I can protect my 
balding head?

I've got both thread sealant and Hylomar, and a fresh fiber washer on mine and it still leaks. It's annoying, but the improvement in shifting is worth it, IMO.

I find the Redline in the gear box leaks even when the car is parked for 
week/months. I got a special wrencdh form BCS to make sure the brass plug is 
very tight. No joy. Has any one used a sealer like Halomar (sorry for

I use a "DO-Rag" also known as a bandanna. I do a lot of sailboat racing and
other than a straight line of white/tan on my forehead, it works well with SPF

if sewing a Healey emblem on your hat makes you feel less stupid, I think I
should sew one on all my clothes :)
Actually, I have a ball cap with an elastic piece in the back of the hat. It
stays on my head, and I stick up over the windscreen. It stays on fine

Hello, Healeyphiles -
 
I just received a completed questionnaire
(http://www.britishcarforum.com/bj8quest.html) with the details of a BJ8 for
the registry.  The owner (not in the USA) bought this car in 2007 and has a
record of 5 previous owners (all in the same country as the current owner).
This record takes the car back to 1990 and its arrival in the foreign
country.  He asks if I have any previous history on this car during its time
in the USA.  The car left the USA in 1990.
 
The only record I have of it is one from a foreign source in 2003 that says
the car was stolen from its owner's garage in 1993.  I do not have any
contact information for that owner due to privacy concerns.
 
Just thought I would pose this to the list as an interesting situation, and
see what the consensus is on how I should proceed.
 
Thanks,
Steve Byers

The problem in using liquid sealant like Hylomar or similar is that it 
really only works when the mating faces, or threads are absolutely clean 
and free of oil. Anyway Hylomar should not be needed.
If it is a tapered plug it should not leak oil at all, the plug may be 
fit for renewal or there might be a small crack in the casingfrom 
overtightening. Never ever screw these in very tight. If it is a non 
tapered plug, simply renew the copper washer, but check that the mating 
faces are burr free and true. If there still is a leak it is not the plug.

When my favorite Harris tweed hat blew away thanks to a big truck, I bought
a pair of child's mitten holders.One clip went on my hat, and the other on
my collar. Haven't had a chance to see if a big truck would pull that off.

There is a white plastic latex? tape used by plumbers that works quite well.
Wrap it around the treads of your plug and tighten.

Tough question.  I guess my vote is to tell the new owners the limited 
knowledge of prior owners but also about the one comment of it being stolen. 
Most cars that are stolen, eventually show up somewhere, usually with a lot 
of damage to the car.   The exception is if someone stole the car with 
intent to ship it out of the country.     Back in 1993, I am not sure that 
someone would have valued a BJ8 enough to plan that far.
By the way, my car came from Canada and California DMV would not register 
the car till they did a check with the Canadian DMV to see if the car was 
stolen.    That process only took an extra week.

I think you need to let the current owner know the car's 'provenance' (after first double-checking the info). Since it's now in a foreign country I think that's all you can do. If it was in the States you might be obliged to alert authorities. 

I'm curious as to how the car passed through so many owner's if it's known to have been stolen. Whatever you can say about our DMVs I think most would have caught that.

I haven't done it, but have always thought that if I encountered this situation I would weld the leaking area to seal the leak. If you don't have a welder then any muffler shop should do it for a few bucks.

Thanks everyone!  I just ordered this hat.  Should make the doctor (and my
wife) happy.  I am looking for a good deal on a football helmet as well.
Maybe paint it to match my car with a Healey badge on the front.  Could
start a trend.....

Steve



I agree with Jerry I would want to know My car was stolen, after all its an
investment.



Two other points:



In the Uk it would be the property of the insurance company who paid out,
unfortunately the presant owner would loose it and his money unless he
purchased from a business seller.

Secondly, You say you have the details of 5 previous owners, could you not
make enquiries with the 1st owner, to way up from whence it came?



Would also depend on the countries laws on who would be the legal owner.

The owner was paid market value by the insurance company in 1993 so no need to
NOT tell the new owner. I think the insurance company may have issues, that
and getting clear title in the states. I think I would like to know the past
history of my Healey. But no guilty feelings cause the victim did get his
money and probably bought a replacement.

Rich -- Sure could have used that advice in 1962. Of course in 1962 I did
not need "scalp spray" -- now, alas, I do. And, now the "camo hat/soft brim
safari hat" will make me feel better in my Teddy Roosevelt/Rambo persona --
whilst conquering the rugged road. TGIF. (All this tongue firmly in cheek.)

The O/D plug isn't tapered, has coarse threads and the gasket is a hard fiber that usually doesn't fit too well.

Well, at this point (as far as I know), the current owner of the car does
not know it was once reported stolen.  The car may not be much of an
investment if it was in fact stolen and never recovered, but somehow went
through 5 more owners.  The current owner could be out a car and the money
he paid for it if an insurance company or the earlier owner reclaimed it.

Andy, I do not have the details of the 5 previous owners.  The current owner
does, but if he learns the car was stolen, is he likely to try to contact
any previous owners or give out any information about who they were?

I agree with Jerry I would want to know My car was stolen, after all its an
investment.



Two other points:



In the Uk it would be the property of the insurance company who paid out,
unfortunately the presant owner would loose it and his money unless he
purchased from a business seller.

Secondly, You say you have the details of 5 previous owners, could you not
make enquiries with the 1st owner, to way up from whence it came?



Would also depend on the countries laws on who would be the legal owner.

Dissolves in mineral oil? The whole world is in trouble. I spent a  
lot  of time in Disney's hydraulic shop.
We used it on everything. Oil, Air, water. paint .
The most important thing is to keep the wrap two threads back.
It can shear off and find it's way to every small hole in the system.

So how do you know the car was insured?
Whether it was insured or not, the only legal title belongs to either the
guy who it got stolen from, or if it was insured, his insurance company.  No
one can have a better claim to the car.

Rich, the car in question is not in the USA.  It was in a foreign country
when stolen, and is still in a foreign country.  The owner in 1993 may or
may not have received a satisfactory settlement from the insurance company,
but if the company paid off they own the car when it's recovered.  However,
the car has gone through 5 owners since then, so apparently the insurance
company is not keeping up with it.  I doubt the current owner would contact
the company to let them know he is the latest owner.

Of course, it's possible that the car was recovered to the person who lost
it, and it just resumed its legitimate chain of ownership.

True, the victim did get paid, but I think the insurance company would have an

Steve,
If he has records of 5 previous owners in his country back to 1990 when the 
car arrived, and the car was stolen in 1993, then how did it get sold so 
many times in the same country it was stolen in with out the authorities 
noticing??

Another important, valuable function of the/a registry.

We owe the guys that do their best to run a registry some kind of Healey guy
of the year award.  I hope the US and countries elsewhere do or can talk to
each other without 'violating' some kind of whatever law - privacy maybe -
that would help in a situation like this possible stolen car deal.

I realize a buyer may not know about 'registry'.  But as time goes by more
buyers will.

  Steve,
  If he has records of 5 previous owners in his country back to 1990 when the
  car arrived, and the car was stolen in 1993, then how did it get sold so
  many times in the same country it was stolen in with out the authorities

As a victim of theft myself, I would still love to have my property back.
Steve I think you should let the owner know. the law in Canada is that the
property is returned to the original owner, reimburse the insurance company
the original payout or decline and then the property belongs to the insurance
company.
Unfortunately, the new owner will have to take action against the person he
bought from.

Tough question.  I guess my vote is to tell the new owners the limited
knowledge of prior owners but also about the one comment of it being stolen.
Most cars that are stolen, eventually show up somewhere, usually with a lot of
damage to the car.   The exception is if someone stole the car with intent to
ship it out of the country.     Back in 1993, I am not sure that someone would
have valued a BJ8 enough to plan that far.
By the way, my car came from Canada and California DMV would not register the
car till they did a check with the Canadian DMV to see if the car was stolen. 
  That process only took an extra week.

Charlie and all others,  I got some fishing line and tied one end to my seal belt anchors( on the floor, behind the front seats ) and then on the other end I attached a large safety pin.  What ever hat I worn when driving the car I always attached the pin to it.  When ever the had blew off all I had to do was reel it in by means of the fishing line. John

Visited the Dermatologist for the first time to have some spots hit with
liquid nitrogen and to get a lecture on driving my Austin Healey without
having a hat on.   The problem is, no matter what hat I try to wear while
driving the Austin Healey, it blows off my head in no time.  Has anyone
discovered the perfect Austin Healey driving hat so that I can protect my
balding head?

It seems that Rich probably has the best arguments here.  Probably if you
are starting with a new harness with new copper, the quality of the
connection is stronger for a longer period of time.  With my cars, I'm
dealing with 50-60 year old harnesses and old brass fittings.  I am slowly
working my way through my collection so maybe in the next 5 years everything
will be new!

So how do you know the car was insured?Whether it was insured or not, the only
legal title belongs to either the guy who it got stolen from, or if it was
insured, his insurance company.  No one can have a better claim to the car.

money and probably bought a replacement.

Steve:

1- How reliable is the source that claims to know this car was stolen in 1993?

2- If this foreign country is Canada, I can assure you that no matter where it
is in Canada and having been previously stolen, it could not be registered
five times as every car being registered goes through a CPIC check. CPIC is
where everything reproted stolen, no matter to which police force in Canada,
is entered and when registering the car it would be retrieved as stolen.

3- If it's in another country, sorry I don't know their procedures but I would
imagine that they have something somewhat similar by now, CPIC has been around
since 1973 in Canada.

4- After confirming whether it was really stolen or not, I would certainly
advise the current owner.

Friends - this is where it gets sticky -

What if the "stolen car" was on blocks in the front yard with a goat and a dog
tied to it with a tree growing out of the hood.

Owners of the "stolen car" may have invested a fortune restoring the car post
theft.

Would they be  obligated to return a restored car to the owner and take it up
with their insurance company?

17 years is a long time.  What is the statute of limitations on such a thing.

However the insurance company could have sold on the vehicle when the 
car was found back after some time time. Making the consequent owners

Rich

You might have some or all of the information below but for completeness 
I offer the following.

In the mid 1970s I was fortunate to visit Jensen on a conducted tour. 
After chatting to one of the managers he showed me a company scrapbook 
in which there were many photos of 100 bodies being painted in special 
booths. I was able to obtain photocopies of these but being 1970s 
technology are not very good.

However one can see the bodies on rotisseries and these are on frames 
with wheels allowing them to run on simple tracks into the spray booths; 
two booths appear in the photos.

The points of interest are that all panels were in place including the 
front valance. The bonnet (hood) was slightly open on some but as far as 
I can tell only when horizontal. Doors appear to be open at times but 
must have been tied across somehow when the body was inverted. 
Interestingly there appears to be some sort of hinges on the boot 
(trunk). I have to assume that these were some temporary arrangement but 
as paint appears to have been applied under where the hinges fit I 
cannot see how this is done. These bodies appear to be BN1s with no duo 
tones in evidence.

Best regards

For something like this there usually is a statute of limitation.
Given that it was stolen in 1993, my view is that the current owner
would be probably be viewed as the legitimate owner in the eyes of the
law.

Hi Steve.
I hear your dilema.
I'm not a lawyer, and can't give you any legal advice.
And - youre in the USA. I'm Australian. Lol
Firstly, you haven't said the car was or wasn't insured.
2nd, generally, in a theft claim/payout situation, on a stolen car /  
payout made situation in Australia, title passes to the insurance  
company which paid the claim.
Subsequent recovery, unless the policy states otherwise, generally  
means the insurance company owns it. Generally.
My 2 bobs worth?
Facts are facts.
You just record them.
Look to BHMIT for guidance.
They record facts. They can't say which car has the correct e.g.  
engine 5 years ago, or 10 years ago etc. They only provide a record at  
a period in time - ie when the car left the factory.
Otherwise, all I can say is....
I once had a car stolen, back in England, in 1993 or so. It was a 3  
litre ford Sierra 4wd fuel injected Ford Sierra.
It was a company car, & was stolen, and recovered, within 6 hours.  
 From stolen to recovered.
Yes. Smashed. Joydriven, not totalled  But only stolen for 6 hours,  
and recovered within 6 hours
Maybe the BJ8 was also recovered?
That's then not an issue, is it?
Geez, we don't have that shit here in OZ, do we Keith & Pat!!
Imagine if someone could build a car from a dubiously acquired engine  
number!!!
I'm not a lawyer, but I still have faith in the truth. And Steve - you  
record facts
As a registrar, you hold facts.
I'm not a lawyer, but often the real truth can be proved in a myriad  
of ways.
Good luck!
Chris

May be a little late on this reply, but here is another option. This hat is 
"sorta" reversible back to a regular cap, when the neck flap isn't needed. 
Certainly good for the price.

Guys, I wouldn't count on official sources, at least not in this country! I
once bought the remains of a BMW motorbike, said to be a 75/6 (meaning 750
cc engine, series 6) which, after restoration, was admitted on Dutch roads
in 1999 by the Dutch Ministry of Transport as a 'type 75/6' bike, year of
manufacture 1974 (which was the year the engine was built). Trying to sell
the bike years later to a Belgian private person he refused to accept the
bike as the frame number of the bike belonged to a 60/5 type bike,
manufactured in 1970, and he could not get the bike officially registered in
Belgium. I went back to the historic dept of the BMW factory in Munich and
obtained an official letter from them, confirming the bike's type and exact
date of manufacture. I am still fighting with the Dutch authorities to get
the bike certified as a 1970 type 60/5 - I fear because they then have to
admit they goofed way back in 1999. Red tape!

There is an old legal maxim that covers this situation:
The court looks at the who did all the restoring and says *It sucks to be
you.*
Even though the current possessor (not owner, this person has a defective
title and therefore is not the owner)  might have bought it in good faith,
the title was a fraud.  The only legal title belongs to either the original
owner or if the insurance company paid out, the insurance company.
Since the current possessor never held good title to the car, any work or
money he may have put in money out of his pocket.
Back in the day a buddy of mine bought a 3000 from a used car lot.  About
two weeks late the cops showed up and told him it was a stolen car.  No he
says, look I have paperwork from the used car lot, and DMV paperwork.
No the cops replied, we know you didn't steal it, the guy that sold it to
the car lot forged some paperwork and he was the guy that stole it.
bottom line, my buddy was out the car, and the 4 new tires he put on it.

I use to have this problem while downhill skiing in a baseball cap.  What I 
found works great is 2 alligator clips on a piece of string (like a 
shoelace) clipped to the hat and your shirt.  Worst case, it's blows off, 
but you don't loose it.

Find an English 'cheesecutter' style - same as the English golfers wear.  Lots
of vendors.  Work fine.  I am not really a hat guy but do have one for cold
mornings .....

Subject: [Healeys] stolen car
Message-ID: <AANLkTinxuOK1jkV4Q06uarpiprSxKtjUNOxMsv1dnbxu@mail.gmail.com>

I have a friend that bought a Porsche 912 off a used car lot in San Diego in
about 1972. He moved to Arizona in '93 and had no trouble registering it
there. He sold it to a friend in Texas who resold it without reregistering
it. The new owner took it to the Texas DMV to register it. It turned out
that all this time it had been registered with the engine number (not an
original 912 engine). The DMV found the "hidden" VIN and determined that the
car had been stolen before my friend bought it and they impounded it. It
went before a justice of the peace and, since multiple insurance companies
had claims against it, the JOP said this is "too hard to sort out" - "crush
it".

Recognize that this is Texas law which bears no relation to law in the
civilized world.

I posted this as a reply to the original thread and got this message:

Subject: [Healeys] hardtop mounting
Message-ID: <30E7165BEFF44321BEBF3037D6DBD60C@ACM030>

I have purchased a nice set of J hooks, shaped aluminum nuts and a
reinforcement backer from
Cape Healey for my newly acquired hardtop. These pieces hold down the top just
aft of the door. Problem is,
as I hold the pieces in my hands, they make about as much sense as the bits to
a trafficator did before I
spent days putting one together. Can someone put me out of my misery with a
photo of how these mounting hooks
attach. there is obivously some sort of bracket that is not supplied that goes
with the ensemble.

i believe the parts were offered as repros of the BN4/BN7 hardtop factory
clamps that hold down the top. my top is non-factory off a 100-4 (ca. 1960)
but has a hole drilled in the areas where the mounts should go.

I know this sounds like a Dear Abby from Clueless, but in this case I am truly
clueless how to put this together.

Thanks

The fashion of choice is a round floppy hat with draw string and don't 
forget  the loose fitting, long sleeve
cotton shirt to protect the rest of the upper body.   Its a bit hot but 
beats a serious sun burn.

The significant increase in CO2 emitted & the significant reduction in mpg
aren't the only problems I have encountered with "Ethanol Enriched Fuel".
Fortunately (or unfortunately) I have only gotten 10% ethanol gasoline in 1 of
my vintage cars.  It didn't take very long for the alcohol to free up the rust
in the gas tank & eat the rubber in the mechanical fuel pump & carb.  When I
pulled the fuel filter, it was clogged with a rust colored sludge the
consistency of Elmer's Glue.  It also dried out the short transition hoses to
& from the fuel filter.
Not only that, my modern vehicles get a 30% loss in mpg under normal usage &
my truck takes a 40% loss when I'm towing.  It usually takes 3 to 4 tanks of
non-ethanol fuel to get me back to normal.  It is no doubt going to get worse
before it gets better.  There is talk of going to 15% ethanol enhanced fuel.
I agree, "The only winners are bit agri-businesses which are pushing this",
but I think our politicians are getting some benefits from this too.

  Aiyiyi... once again, the laws of Congress are about to collide with
  the laws of physics.    Our modern cars are getting poorer gas mileage
  with 10% alcohol, which means they're putting our more CO2.  Anybody
  see a problem here?  It's bad for the cars, bad for the environment.
  The only winners are big agri-businesses which are pushing this.

That article is so full of errors, it is a prime example of why computers
are better at some tasks than people
50 to 100 control units in a luxury car?  Name the year, make and model.
10M lines of code in a car, 1/4 of what Windows has?  With no video, and the
audio limited to the key chime, the same request, year, make and model.
Three mile island a computer problem?  Not according to Wiki "The mechanical
failures were compounded by the initial failure of plant operators to
recognize the situation as a loss of coolant
accident<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_of_coolant_accident>due to
inadequate training"
bottom line, while the computers in cars are no where near perfect, they are
no where near as bad as this idiot is making them out to be.

Interesting reading.



I sense the author like many bloggists and media types today seem to think
that government legislation is the key to resolving all problems and halting
errors (atty's call them accidents for their own benefit of course), be they
analog, digital or horrors: of human type.


It would not surprise me to see, in our lifetime and via lawmakers, insurance
companies and of course attorneys, that black boxes be required soon in all
roadable vehicles, including our Healeys.  So, never say never...

This is the text with the photos Jim has of the interesting find in KY:

"This is a Austin Healey 100 BN2 that is owned by a 95 years young owner who bought the car in 1958 in China. The owner ran the CIA funded Air America Airline and this car was shipped to China. It was later updated with a 100-S engine and all the modifications that you see here. I respect the owners privacy and will not tell you where it is but for a Healey geek this is a cool car!"

Message-ID: <BC5EB71B-423D-4C9B-8920-BA8AF0F55585@comcast.net>

Could someone send me a picture with dimensions or pdf of the  
triangular retainers that attach to the header rail of the hood for my  
BN1.
  I need them quickly for the ABFM at Vandusen Gardens next weekend.  
(no, the top will be down for the ride, I just want to have the new  
top correct.)

Thanks,

Rob

Well, it was said  in a General Motors 2006 Vauxhall Vectra there were 21 
ECM/ECU's and that car wasn't over-endowed with smarts.  Start looking at 
today's quality cars and I think you'll find 50 is exceeded already.

Having been an embedded/realtime programmer myself at one time, I can 
attest that otherwise proven software can iterate billions, even 
trillions of times then encounter a problem--deadlock, or a race 
condition--that will create havoc and completely escape replication or 
diagnosis.  It has been alleged that some of the early Airbuses--the 
first commercial fly-by-wire aircraft--had a nasty habit of trying to 
fly themselves into the ground.  We may yet find out that the one lost 
over the Atlantic recently had a sensor and/or computer glitch as 
contributing factor.

I think the point is that as the vehicles become complex the potential 
for esoteric problems will increase.  Of course, the most complex 
component--the pilot or driver--has repeatedly been proven highly 
fallible already.

Well, I was wondering when and if this would show up on this list.  I know
the owner because my father this guy used to work together.

The owner was an aircraft mechanic at Civil Air Transport under Claire
Chennault, and later rose up to be the President of CAT.  Technically
speaking he wasn't president of Air America, but its precursor Civil Air
Transport.  You can see the aircraft mechanic in the owner based on what he
did with his BN2!  I actually didn't know he had a BN2 until my brother told
me he was talking to him one day about 10 years ago and started talking
about my BJ8.

Civil Air Transport was technically both the Flag Carrier for the Republic
of China and also 100% owned and operated by the CIA.  So they had scheduled
airline service during the day (my mom was a stew, where she met my dad),
and by night they flew missions primarily against the communist Chinese
(where dad did most of his flying, it didn't pay well, FYI).

He wouldn't have shipped this car to China, but in fact the Republic of
China.  Of course old China hands call Taiwan "the ROC," so I can understand
why he said what he said.

My father joined CAT in 1949 and was eventually "let go" in 1975 from Air
America.  You name it during that period, he was probably there.  He flew
the last flight for the airline and was #1 on the seniority list when he was
a political victim of the Church commission.  The US govt. repaid his 30
years of service to country (he flew for the USAAC in the Pacific War prior
to joining CAT/AAM) with no pension, and no benefits. I guess you can say I
don't really have a whole lot of sympathy for people who bitch about what
the government doesn't give them these days.

Interestingly, Capt. Allen Pope (who was shot down in his B-26 in Indonesia
in 1958 when he was flying as my dad's wingman) was a big E-type guy.

Hi Allen,

Yes, there are right angle ali brackets that attach to the fibreglass
hardtop.   The brackets have slots in them that the J hooks go through and
the Ali shaped nuts go on top.   If you need a picture let me know. 

PS.  Make sure that the Ali shaped nuts are the correct thread and bolt size
for the j hooks....the ones that I got from Cape were not.  

For the record,  I find Cape useless for product support.  I bought a
hardtop for them and couldn't get them to send me a picture of assembly.

Subject: [Healeys] hardtop mounting

I have purchased a nice set of J hooks, shaped aluminum nuts and a
reinforcement backer from
Cape Healey for my newly acquired hardtop. These pieces hold down the top
just
aft of the door. Problem is,
as I hold the pieces in my hands, they make about as much sense as the bits
to
a trafficator did before I
spent days putting one together. Can someone put me out of my misery with a
photo of how these mounting hooks
attach. there is obivously some sort of bracket that is not supplied that
goes
with the ensemble.

i believe the parts were offered as repros of the BN4/BN7 hardtop factory
clamps that hold down the top. my top is non-factory off a 100-4 (ca. 1960)
but has a hole drilled in the areas where the mounts should go.

I know this sounds like a Dear Abby from Clueless, but in this case I am
truly
clueless how to put this together.

Thanks

Allen Miller

warn".  At this time I would have to consider it legitimate considering the 
capablilities of GM's OnStar system.  Following are a few comments the 
article contained:

"Automobiles, which will be increasingly connected to the Internet in the 
near future, could be vulnerable to hackers just as personal computers are 
now, two teams of computer scientists are warning in a paper to be presented 
this week.

The scientists say that they were able to remotely control braking and other 
functions and that the car industry is running the risk of repeating the 
security mistakes of the PC industry.

"We demonstrated the ability to adversarially control a wide range of 
automotive functions and completely ignore driver input - including 
disabling the brakes, selectively braking individual wheels on demand, 
stopping the engine, and so on"...

...He said the research teams were able to demonstrate their ability to 
circumvent a wide variety of systems critical to the safety of drivers and 
passengers...The reseachers were able to activate dozens of functions - 
almost all of them while the car was in motion...".

I question the statistic of 10 million lines of code in a car. Industry
average "bugs per line of code" (a little guesswork here as I have not studied
these stats in some years) is about 1 per 10,000 lines. So at 10,000,000 lines
of code we would expect about 1000 bugs.
 
Of course GM and Ford and . . . . produce "bug free code" unlike Apple and
Microsoft . . .
 
10M lines of code would cover something like Linux or Unix or Windows. Maybe
these people are counting the operating system and then on top of that the
lines of code required to manage the systems.
 
Something is not right about this number, 10M lines of code.

A little off thread here . . .
 
Some cars need to be preserved in what I call "owner modified condition". This
seems like one of those unique cars.
 
The concours stuff is great. My car is maintained in concours condition. Yet
there are some wonderful cars that have become a symbol of their owner. I vote
this car is one of those unique cars.
 
Then good luck to whomever gets to maintain all that clever stuff. A white lab
coat might be required.

Well, I was wondering when and if this would show up on this list.  I know
the owner because my father this guy used to work together.

The owner was an aircraft mechanic at Civil Air Transport under Claire
Chennault, and later rose up to be the President of CAT.  Technically
speaking he wasn't president of Air America, but its precursor Civil Air
Transport.

This would be teflon tape. No harm in trying if it is a tapered plug. It

Actually the spelling is DOH.  Made famous by homer simpson, DOH is 
different than DUH because DUH refers to knowledge, and DOH refers to 
consequences of an action.
anyway - who cares?

Actually, it's "D'OH," with emphasis on the "OH." 

Good info on the teflon, Ed. You have to figure it's grease-worthy, else it wouldn't be a good liner for frying pans.

Thanks Ed.
Your 2 cents are much appreciated. I was feeling a bit 'got at' in
there. I must have been using bog standard cheapo PTFE as it
definitely dissolved.

Also as a Brit my only exposure to 'Doh!' comes from Homer - as you say.

Visited the Dermatologist for the first time to have some spots hit with
liquid nitrogen and to get a lecture on driving my Austin Healey without
having a hat on.   The problem is, no matter what hat I try to wear while
driving the Austin Healey, it blows off my head in no time.  Has anyone
discovered the perfect Austin Healey driving hat so that I can protect my
balding head?

So much for that 3 minute skim May edition.

Reid,  when are you going to get the picture that most of us hourly wage
Healey Marque
recipients can't even begin to wrap our minds around these special interest
car articles that
you choose to waste 10 to 15 pages a year on, in OUR magazine.   Surely you
have enough
articles from the common readers to fill up the monthly magazines that we can
all relate to.

Salt flats, deep pocket replicars with broken crankshafts, trips to Australia.
I suppose its nice
that a few chosen ones can afford these and have a need to do these things and
thats fine.
Go for it, but why do you need to spread it across half of the magazine that
should be for everyone.  Its boring and a waste.

Lets get back to the tangible stuff like tech tips, personal restorations and
do it yourself repairs.

No, I certainly couldn't even come close to putting together a mag that is the
quality of the Marque but maybe
you should offer a special edition to those who really care about the "super
dooper salt flat mobile" and offer it
as just that , A Special Edition" offered  to those that have an interest in
such an elaborate undertaking.

I did enjoy the one page that you gave to Norm Nock.  I would have liked to
have read and seen more.  What a great Healey man.

Can't wait till the June edition,

Mark LaPierre

Greg,  This is not hard.  Remove both your seats first by removing the nuts
under the seat bottoms and lifting the seats out.  Then remove the two screws
at the rear of the arm rest (one on each side of the base of the arm rest
frame on the tunnel) and lift the rest out by lifting the rear portion first.
You will see a screw at the rear of the console to remove.  Then there are two
screws on each side of the front of the console going up into the bottom of
the dash (by where your knees would be if sitting in the seats).  Remove the
shifter knob and now you may be able to pull back on the console kind of in a
U motion to release two studs from a bracket that is beneath the flat portion
of the console just in front of the gear shift hole.  If this is not possible
and you don't have a radio installed you will have to reach around in front of
the console and loosen the nuts attaching the bracket to the console and then
remove the console.  If there is a radio then you will have to remove it
probably first and then the bracket screws.  Once you have the console out
there are 8 screws holding the fiber glass tunnel to the floor.  Remove those
then lift the tunnel out to expose the tranny area.  Oh, you have to remove
the speedo cable from the rear of the speedo to completely take out the tranny
cover as it slides through a grommet on top of the cover.  Don't forget to
have the speedo securing ring inside the cockpit before screwing the
fiberglass tunnel back down or the speedo cable won't be able to be secured
back in its place.  This sounds like a lot but it only takes about 15 minutes
or so to do.  You can look in a Service Parts List book if you have one or in
a Moss catalog to see all the parts I've mentioned to make it more clear.  It
would be a good idea to order a shop manual or the CD to refer to when working
on your bj8.  These things are a great aid as most things can be removed and
replaced by the owners with just a basic standard tool set and some posidrive
screw drivers.  If you have time it will save you a ton of money and you'll
learn some new words along the way.



Take care,



George Haywood

Tell me this was a joke right?  I totally enjoy following the exploits  
of Healey enthusiast. I have seen both of Steve's cars and savor every  
word and photo of his adventure. I have waited over 35 years to put  
paint and interior on my car. So Im no rich guy, but Marsch  
restorations has built two amazing cars.

Message-ID: <007701caf693$a9274930$fb75db90$@rr.com>

Hello, Healeyphiles -
 
An acquaintance has a blue BJ8 carpet set for sale.  I think it's unused and
uninstalled, but does have some less-than-Concours features.  These include
a slight color difference between the gearbox cover piece and the carpets,
and visible fasteners installed in the gearbox cover piece.  Asking price is
$200.   Includes door seals, vinyl for the dash top, and additional bulk
vinyl.
Anyone who is interested can contact Steve McKee for more information and a
photo:  motormckee at hotmail.com
 
I'm not vouching for anything, just passing on the word that might help the
seller or anyone looking to get a deal on this stuff.  Negotiations and
satisfaction with the result are up to you.

Mark,
You are entitled to your opinion, but I doubt that you are not speaking for
"most of us hourly wage....recipients".
I enjoy the variety in Healey Marque. What would be boring for me would be the
same subject repeated over & over again.
Reid, Keep up the good work.

Several years ago, I had a set of Morgan Instruments restored at Moma in New
Mexico.  They did an absolutely beautiful job.

I would like to send them another set from another Morgan, as well as my
Healey, but have lost their contact information and can't seem to find them on
the WEB.

Are they still around?

Does anybody have up to date contact information that would include an email
address and telephone number?

Several years ago, I had a set of Morgan Instruments restored at Moma in New
exico.  They did an absolutely beautiful job.
I would like to send them another set from another Morgan, as well as my
ealey, but have lost their contact information and can't seem to find them on
he WEB.
Are they still around?
Does anybody have up to date contact information that would include an email
ddress and telephone number?

that direction.

Being an editor is no easy task.  You're pretty much dependent on whatever
submissions you're sent or you can browbeat, cajole or guilt someone else to
prepare.  Then you've got to find a topic that hasn't been covered at least a
hundred times in the publication of the club mag.   Add in that some folks
like the social side of Healeying, others are racers, some are restorers, a
few are concours nuts and the rest of us are spinning wrenches in our home
garage.  I always look forward to the club mags every month.  Not everything
appeals to me, but there's always something in each one that is worth looking
at.  There's not much "news" to be reported in the Healey world these days,
but the reproduction of the Bonneville cars and their return to the Salt
certainly qualifies.  I love reading anything regarding the competition
Healeys.  If you want to see something different, write it up and submit it. 
I'm sure Reid would be happy for any submission.

Mark:  Your comments are the Bane of any volunteer's existence!  As a
long-term volunteer, including past chairman of board for the local
credit union, chairman of the board of directors for the White sands
Missile range historical foundation, current "prime minister" of the
local Brit car club and organizer of the last three annual brit car
days here in southern NM, I personally cringe when I hear your type of
"Suggestion", usually beginning with a phrase such as "What YOU
(emphasis added) need to do", or "Why didn't YOU..."  if I am feeling
charitable, I politely listen and thank the suggestor. If I am fed up
with Strap Hangers, I generally turn the question back to the speaker
with something like--great idea---When can I expect to see a first
draft or implementing instructions, including who, what, where, how
much and when?
in this particular instance, WHY DON'T YOU write some tech articles,
take some exciting local journeys, document them and turn them in to
Reid for publication?

Reid,  when are you going to get the picture that most of us hourly wage
ealey Marque
ecipients can't even begin to wrap our minds around these special interest
ar articles that
ou choose to waste 10 to 15 pages a year on, in OUR magazine.   Surely you
ave enough
rticles from the common readers to fill up the monthly magazines that we can
ll relate to.
Salt flats, deep pocket replicars with broken crankshafts, trips to
Australia.
 suppose its nice
hat a few chosen ones can afford these and have a need to do these things and
hats fine.
o for it, but why do you need to spread it across half of the magazine that
hould be for everyone.  Its boring and a waste.
Lets get back to the tangible stuff like tech tips, personal restorations and
o it yourself repairs.
No, I certainly couldn't even come close to putting together a mag that is
the
uality of the Marque but maybe
ou should offer a special edition to those who really care about the "super
ooper salt flat mobile" and offer it
s just that , A Special Edition" offered  to those that have an interest in
uch an elaborate undertaking.
I did enjoy the one page that you gave to Norm Nock.  I would have liked to

I'm not personally all that attracted to this one article, but others may be.  Diversity is a wonderful thing however.  I feel there is a good bit of it in the HM and am thankful that we are not stuck on one or two topics.  This publication has improved greatly in the last couple of years.

Message-ID: <800233.77655.qm@web56105.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

Thank you everyone who sent instructions.  They were very helpful.  

The
biggest help was in describing what SHOULD have been there. What WAS there was
one lone screw holding the left side of the console to the dash. Next were the
two screws holding the arm rest to the drive tunnel all the way in the back.
In between every nut, screw and bracket is missing.

Anyone have the bracket
that mounts to the tunnel and secures the console, Moss part number NA?  It's
index number 143 on page 104 of the Spring 2010 Healey catalogue.  Next best
would be it's measurements.

Being an editor is no easy task.  You're pretty much dependent on whatever
submissions you're sent or you can browbeat, cajole or guilt someone else to
prepare.  Then you've got to find a topic that hasn't been covered at least
a
hundred times in the publication of the club mag.   Add in that some folks
like the social side of Healeying, others are racers, some are restorers, a
few are concours nuts and the rest of us are spinning wrenches in our home
garage.  I always look forward to the club mags every month.  Not everything
appeals to me, but there's always something in each one that is worth
looking
at.  There's not much "news" to be reported in the Healey world these days,
but the reproduction of the Bonneville cars and their return to the Salt
certainly qualifies.  I love reading anything regarding the competition
Healeys.  If you want to see something different, write it up and submit it.

I'm sure Reid would be happy for any submission.

Please don't assume that you or Mark speak for all of us.  While I can't 
afford such Healeys, a Porsche 917, or a McLaren M8; I still enjoy 
looking at and reading about them.  I was able to go to Bonneville last 
year and see the Healeys run.  A great experience.

Reid Trummel was at SpringThing this past weekend.  He made a couple of 
pitches for magazine material.  If you want different content in the 
Healey Marque, then write an article and submit it.  To expect every 
page of the magazine to be useful to every member of the club is a bit 
unreasonable.

John,

If someone doesn't like the content of the club mags, they need to
contribute.  Write an article on their own.  At the very least, let the
editors know what kind of article you'd like to see.  Editors are always
looking for ideas, let them know what you want!

Subject: [Healeys] Who Are The Real Owners?
Message-ID: <4BF344F1.4060101@illawarra.hotkey.net.au>

Once upon a time there was a Mr. Healey (Donald ) in  a shed with a few 
blokes in it and a lot of dreams. These dreams were turned into 
successful motor cars that set veryhigh standards of the day in the 
areas of; performance, innovation and were able to be tailored to the 
customers requirements.
The bloke known as Donald became very successful in European 
motorsport,eg. first Englishman to succeed in thr Monte Carlo Rally, was 
an early member of the 200MPH Club etc.
Along the way he so impressed C.E.O of an extremely large company about 
to be known as B.M.C.   Note, he had already impressed the Man from Nash.
Now this alliance with BMC allowed Donald and his Band of Merry Men to 
follow their dreams and what did we get?   Cars made for exciting and 
unique activities, these cars were to be known as 'Works Healeys' 
....... the Real Healeys.

So if so far in your travels you have only reached the Austin/BMC bit ,  
Good Luck to you and yours, some of us are off enjoying our dreams.

I am told by Tony Ash that when Steve/David Pike did the 187mph in 
Australia all the big, blown V.8 guys rushed over to see why all the 
high performance bits were not protruding through the Healeys engine 
hood. There was only total shock when they saw a 1954  four cylinder 
Healey engine

Good onya Donald for the Dream. I would like to know more.

I for one enjoy getting a perspective on Healey history.  I own both a small
and big Healey and appreciate any articles about what it was like back when
these cars were new.  I also enjoy the do-it-yourself type articles. The
concours articles give me something to shoot for during the restoration of
my BN2.  In the end, it won't be a trailer queen trophy winner, but the
articles and pictures in Healey Marque certainly help to keep me focused on
making my car a good representative of the marque.  When something like the
Bonneville trials are covered, it is a special event. A whole issue devoted
to this certainly makes for a wonderful special edition to look back on
years from now. It was only one issue, what's the beef?   I am glad someone
is doing this, even though I could not even afford one of the Dunlop disc
wheels on this car, I can certainly appreciate someone that can afford it
having the desire to re-create our favorite marque's glory years.  He could
have just as well bought a nice Audi R8 instead.  We now have a museum
quality replica that will be around for years to come that we can all
appreciate.  I for one think the price we pay for our yearly dues delivers
my Healey fix in spades.  It is one of the best values for the money I can
think of for all the benefits that come with membership.  I am connected to
one of the greatest bunch of enthusiasts of any hobby I can think of.
     Heck, I could not do it any better, or at all for that matter.  I for
one look forward to every issue.  I know that sooner or later a subject I am
interested in will be in there.  I learn something from many articles that
may not have any direct bearing on my BN2 restoration.  One issue devoted to
a special event is not going to make me stop reading it.  There is always
next month.  Just my opinion.

Mark -

I definitely understand your sentiment and probably agree with the principle
of it, but then again these types of suggestions I think are better
submitted as a friendly suggestion rather than a public criticism.

In my view, guys like Reid don't do what they do for money or fame, they do
it because they are enthusiasts and are VOLUNTEERING to support our hobby.

If you have a different view on what is being published, letting Reid know
what you'd like to see with a nice "please" is probably more effective, or
better yet submit your own tech tips for others to read.  Sadly Norman Nock
is no longer around to do the tech tips he used to always do, maybe someone
out there will step in his shoes!

Quite possibly the most succinct, albeit wry posts I've seen on this list so
far this year.

Good excuse and reminder to donate to team.net.

Since your post brought a smile to my face, I doubled the suggested donation

That bracket is more or less useless.  If the dash and tunnel are properly

[I'm sending my response to Mark LaPierre in two parts since it is apparently
too large to be posted to the list in one message.]



Hello
Mark,



Thanks
for your message.  I am always interested
in member feedback on HEALEY MARQUE, and since 99+ percent of it is positive,
I
pay particular attention when someone is dissatisfied.  (I think that this is
the second complaint in
my 4.5 years as editor.)



I
share your desire to print a variety that appeals to a broad
spectrum of owners/members.  It has always
been my goal to include as many of the very kind of features you mention 
tech tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs  as possible, but also to
include other news
of the Healey world with stories of special cars and events.  As a club
magazine editor, I can assure you
that I welcome any and all Healey-related contributions and I do my very best
to publish everything I receive (this is my first hint to you that
I would welcome contributions from you about tech tips, personal restorations
and do it yourself repairs
and really anything Healey-related).



Im sorry that you didnt enjoy the feature on the
speed runs in Australia (nor, apparently, the story about the speed
runs at Bonneville last fall).  My take
on the subject is that it was actually one of the very most exciting and
interesting developments
in the Healey world in a long time, and I have found that virtually all
owners/members that I have encountered share my interest and excitement.



I can also
assure you that this feature did not displace other features.  I publish
virtually everything I
receive, and so dedicating several pages to the Australia speed runs does not
mean that you are going to miss anything else.
In fact I am always, always on the lookout for more publishable material
 finding suitable content is my biggest challenge  and the idea that Surely
[I]
have enough articles from the common readers to fill up the monthly magazines
that we can all relate to is not true.
It is a constant challenge to find such material (please consider this
your second hint that I would welcome contributions from you about tech
tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs and really anything
Healey-related).

Regarding the story of Norman Nocks passing, the
story was provided to me by his son with the stipulation that not a word be
changed.  Likewise the three photos that were
provided with it.  We did our own layout,
but the words and pictures were presented exactly as provided and as Normans
son, David, wished.  There was no more to
publish on the subject, and in fact David stated that he did not want a
larger
feature.



HEALEY MARQUE is published 11 times per year and
each issue is comprised of 40 pages.  Thats
440 pages of Healey material that I have to find or receive each year, and
for
a car that hasnt been made in several decades, and whose parent company no
longer
exists, frankly it aint easy.  I wish
that I were bombarded with Press Releases from the Donald Healey Motor Company
and
so many member contributions that I could never publish them all, but that
just
isnt the case.  Let me repeat that I am
definitely not canceling anything for the sake of making room for stories and
photos of speed runs.



I am keenly aware that HEALEY MARQUE belongs to the members
and I am always anxious to publish material of wide interest  it is what I
am
all about as editor  but I can publish only what I can find or what arrives
in
my mail box, or email in-box, and so let me take this opportunity to invite
you, and everyone reading this, to make this the year that you send me a
contribution
for publication.  If you or anyone would
like to receive the Contributor Guidelines, just drop me an email request and
Ill
be happy to provide them.



Thanks again for your message.  I look forward to including your byline and
those of many others in the issues ahead.



Best,

RT

Sloppy Joes
Crazy Joes
or even Average Joes

I can accept Cool Joes, especially if they own Healeys

Reid,
I look forward to receiving each and every copy of the Healey Marque. In my view you do a superb job as editor - in both content and design. As the editor of the Capital Area Austin-Healey Club on-line newsletter I am fully aware of the difficulty in encouraging contributions from the readers. We are extremely fortunate to have you in the editorial role. Thanks for all you do to benefit the marque!

I have spent years trying to stamp out and eliminate the view that there

Sloppy Joes
Crazy Joes
or even Average Joes

I can accept Cool Joes, especially if they own Healeys

Hello
Mark,



Thanks
for your message.  I am always interested
in member feedback on HEALEY MARQUE, and since 99+ percent of it is positive,
I
pay particular attention when someone is dissatisfied.  (I think that this is
the second complaint in
my 4.5 years as editor.)



I
share your desire to print a variety that appeals to a broad
spectrum of owners/members.  It has always
been my goal to include as many of the very kind of features you mention 
tech tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs  as possible, but also to
include other news
of the Healey world with stories of special cars and events.  As a club
magazine editor, I can assure you
that I welcome any and all Healey-related contributions and I do my very best
to publish everything I receive (this is my first hint to you that
I would welcome contributions from you about tech tips, personal
restorations
and do it yourself repairs
and really anything Healey-related).



Im sorry that you didnt enjoy the feature on the
speed runs in Australia (nor, apparently, the story about the speed
runs at Bonneville last fall).  My take
on the subject is that it was actually one of the very most exciting and
interesting developments
in the Healey world in a long time, and I have found that virtually all
owners/members that I have encountered share my interest and excitement.



I can also
assure you that this feature did not displace other features.  I publish
virtually everything I
receive, and so dedicating several pages to the Australia speed runs does not
mean that you are going to miss anything else.
In fact I am always, always on the lookout for more publishable material
 finding suitable content is my biggest challenge  and the idea that
Surely
[I]
have enough articles from the common readers to fill up the monthly magazines
that we can all relate to is not true.
It is a constant challenge to find such material (please consider this
your second hint that I would welcome contributions from you about tech
tips,
personal restorations and do it yourself repairs and really anything
Healey-related).

Click on the link below for a PDF of the Lucas Overseas Technical Course 
on Barney Gaylord's excellent MGA and other British car website.  It 
appears to be from the early '50s because in the overdrive section it 
lists the A-H 100, but not the 100-6 or 3000.
Looks like good thing to have available in the garage.

Subject: [Healeys] Oil Warning again with still greater peril!
Message-ID: <bed49.50d300dd.39259171@aol.com>

For those of you who are just getting over or still questioning the  
authenticity of the whole ZDDP scare now there is something new to be concerned  
about:
 
According to an article in the May issue of "Victory Lane", a magazine  
addressed to the Vintage Racing community which is heavily populated with  
flat-tappet engines,  API SN-ILSAC GF 5 oil will be going on the shelves in  
October, 2010 and will contain "viscosity modifiers" that will "help thin oil  
act thicker" in order to improve EPA-mandated gas mileage averages.  
 
The article states that this modification is accomplished by the addition  
of polymers and detergents that work in "low stress" situations but can be  
sheared in "high stress" use and that the polymers are designed to replace 
those  old standbys of zinc, phosphorus and sulphur that were used to protect 
our  engines.
 
The article was written by Lake Speed Jr.of Joe Gibbs Oil so you may say  
that he does have a dog in the fight as JGO sells racing oils, etc. that  are 
designed to deal with these issues, so please yell at Lake, not  me. 
 
Let the flaming begin---Michael Oritt

Don't know what the fuss is about. Alan Seigrist posted a link on this list
months ago.

It was downloaded from there, and given to Barney by a member of the list.
(Me)

Thanks goes to Alan for sharing.

This in no way meant to diminish Barney or his great website. In addition to
having a great website, he is one of those knowledgeable folks who will *
always* help with a problem. He is truly a treasure,

Message-ID: <AANLkTinnZhq7jq-UnKp71VRF9eerLSFh_2V1vgfkjr2b@mail.gmail.com>

Hello all,
I checked the archives, but could not locate any info:

I will be converting my BT7 heavy duty clutch to the softer BJ8 setup. I'm
looking for a template for relocating the pins/bolt holes on the BT7
flywheel. It is a lightened wheel, so I do not want to swap it out for a BJ
8
Thanks.
If you have done this before, please reply with cautions and encouragement
:)

Actually it is already there, has been.  As you may have noticed, this 
and some
other discussions may be a bit fragmented.  The Team.Net mail server is 
taking
30 - 45 minutes to get an incoming message sent back out to the lists.  
This delay
can cause illogical breaks in the flow of a conversation.

I'm looking into it, though what the server really needs is to be taken 
down and
a whole new fresh OS loaded on, major software packages updated, etc.  Not
exactly a five minute hack.  Maybe over Memorial Day weekend I'll set up
the mailing lists and such on a temporary box, redo the main server and then
transfer stuff back.  My wife and I were not planning on going out of town
then, so I can spend the first "official" summer weekend cooped up in my
dank little basement command center.

Just for grins, take a look at

The bolt holes will be the same, only the pegs are different.

Just purchase the BJ8 clutch cover and take it to your Machine shop
and let them balance and do the peg work.

No need for a template....

G'day

It appears that there are many closet Joes in Austin-Healey land. We should
rise up and defeat this blatant discrimination.

My middle name is Joseph, but Joe already knows that.

Reid,

Mark LaPeirre doesn't speak for me and I don't believe he speaks for a 
majority of the AHCA member either.  I find articles on Healey history, 
unique Healey cars, and special Healey people very interesting reading.  I 
like the balance of articles you publish.  Keep up the good work and thanks.

Vrooom vrooom,

I totally agree with Alan on this, everyone has their opinion, nothing wrong 
with that, probably much better ways than that used to express and 
communicate those opinions than how is was written and how it was sent.

Also agree that Mark Bradakis is a funnny guy, I would laugh at his jokes 
even if he didn't have the power to permanently banish me to Healey cyber 
limbo, good to see him having some fun with the Healey list.

I can vouch for Reid's statement that he will print most any submission, a 
couple years ago he printed my riveting article about incorporating your 
local club as a non-profit corporation--I was a little disappointed that I 
didn't see a groundswell of support for more articles like it in the recent 
discussion of Healey Marque suubject matter.......

Not chrome. What you want are the cast alloy type. My car has the  
script version. There are more factory looking versions and finned  
style that look great, too.

GEE Mark,  did you just wake up from a long sleep?  In the past several 
years, I've heard from you about once a year, and that was for funds to 
continue the list.
Now, you are on every other post!!  Even about grass.!  BTW, my wife 
mowes the grass around the shop.  Even pictures of your shop!  Looks 
like mine without the grass.
OK, I'll donate something, just keep us entertained and connected.

Charlie -

No one makes a chrome valve cover.  If that's what you want, just chrome the
one you have.

The only ones available are the after-market polished aluminum ones.

Ed  -

I'm glad to see this text book making onto Barney's website, which has
always been an excellent source of information.  I have the book on my shelf
and I find myself referring to it probably at least once a month, it is very
useful.  I particularly find Sections 6, 8 and 9 to be very very helpful.

A complete bolt reference list for the A90 Atlantic will be coming soon,
with a corresponding conversion from old Austin Part Numbers to BSF and
BA Fasteners.  This will be useful for most early BN1 BN2 owners.

Alan / Ira:

Sorry to disagree - the BJ8 clutch uses a larger mounting bolt than the 
earlier one, and 3 dowels instead of 2.  The fix is the same - take the 
flywheel and the clutch cover to a good machine shop - they'll figure it out 
for you.

Done this a few times.

The bolt holes will be the same, only the pegs are different.

Just purchase the BJ8 clutch cover and take it to your Machine shop
and let them balance and do the peg work.

No need for a template....

I actually am confused here because I think the early BJ8 and / or BJ7
clutch uses 2 pegs with the same bolt pattern as the later BJ8.

Alan:

As far as I can tell from the literature that I have, the change to the
diaphragm clutch was made late in the BJ7 production and ran right to the end
of BJ8 production - with the corresponding change to the flywheel drillings.
They did fiddle around with a couple of sizes of disc - 9 1/2", 9" - today's
replacements seem to measure up at around 9 1/4".

In any case, the problem for Ira remains the same: the flywheel will have to
be re-dowelled, and the flywheel  bolt holes will have to be enlarged because
of the configuration of the diaphragm (BJ8) clutch - no big problem for any
competent machine shop.

It's a change that is well worth it in my opinion - I did it to my tri-carb
many years ago (although I used a BJ8 flywheel lightened by Bill Bolton,
rather than reconfiguring the original).  It's simply a much better clutch.

Cheers,  ---   Earl

  I actually am confused here because I think the early BJ8 and / or BJ7
clutch uses 2 pegs with the same bolt pattern as the later BJ8.

Thanks. I want to keep my lightened BT7 flywheel

Agreed, no problems at all.  the only problem is fitting the BJ8 clutch to
the BN1, which has a different gearbox.

Yes, I have an early BJ8, with the bigger clutch, the pegs did vary...  I
had to repeg a few years ago when my clutch wore out.

The bolt holes will be the same, only the pegs are different.

Just purchase the BJ8 clutch cover and take it to your Machine shop
and let them balance and do the peg work.

Charlie,

If you are referring to the BN1, I believe that factory offered a chromed
rocker cover as an option. I have seen them occasionally on eBay. As Alan
points out you can have the stock cover chromed, as this was the same as
the factory option. They may have offered it on an exchange basis also.

Earl--
 
Absolutely worthwhile doing.  I have a BJ8 clutch on my 100 and my  wife's 
BN7 still has a spring-clutch.  The difference between the two in  terms of 
pedal effort, precision, etc. is very considerable and I would  recommend 
this upgrade to anyone.

I was wrong--the character portrayed was Emily Latella and she would  say 
"Oh, well that's very different".  
 
In any case this is just one more factor in living--or  not--with the 
ideosynchratic BN1 transmission and clutch.  Personally  I do not miss mine one

The bolt holes will be the same, only the pegs are different.

Just purchase the BJ8 clutch cover and take it to your Machine shop
and let them balance and do the peg work.

No need for a template....

I was looking into adding a power booster to my clutch because of a
deteriorating left knee. installed the unit, but have not plumbed it yet. I
then had an occasion to drive a BJ8. Wow what a difference in effort to
engage the clutch. Will leave the power booster in place, just in case, or
will attach to my brake master if the BJ8 swap works out as I expect it
will.
cheers and thanks to all

Subject: [Healeys] collapsible column
Message-ID: <19720BA2C1D84C27840440D3BC9A6157@ACM030>

In February I drove a 2010 Toyota compact head-on into a truck tractor parked
in the slow lane of Jamaica's only limited access highway. Even at moderate
speed (30-35 mph), the front end was pushed back to my ankles. Thanks to
modern 'progressive failure' technology, I walked from the crash with shoulder
and lapbelt burns and chest bruises from caving in the collapsible steering
column. As soon as I walked off the plane, I began designing a collapsible
column for my 100M racecar, a project that had been in the left brain phase
for two years, but never got off the sketch pad. A week later I finished CAD
plans and perspective renderings, sourced parts, and took a BJ8 high ratio
(12:1) box to Don Breslauer in Connecticut, a noted custom fabricator with
extensive racing team experience. He tweaked the design and worked out the
fabrication issues. The next day later I took home a ready-to-mount box. Even
with the prototype, my savings were 60-70% over the costs of sending a box to
England for conversion, given shipping and the currency conversions.

I'd like to share my plans with anyone interested in converting from the "Sir
Lancelot" model Healey steering column to a modern design collapsible model. I
have no financial interest, just a desire to improve the odds of others
getting the same break I got in February. The design is based on fitting a
stock $79 Borgeson 1DD:0.75DD collapsing tube to a big Healey box. Total parts
are around $200.

1. the near ends of your stock column and outer tube are retained from the
firewall back to the wheel, along with the stock clamping mount is preserved.

2. any model big Healey box BN2 to BJ8 can be converted without a loss of
trafficator function; the only change is that your trafficator is fixed to and
rotates with the wheel. Horn and turn signal inputs are picked up under the
dash cowl with electric motor brushes contacting bronze bushings mounted over
nylon isolators.

3. in addition to the stock clamp mount under the dash, the column passes
through the inner firewall box section on a ball swivel joint. both mountings
resist the intruding column on catastropic impact.

4. the column passes through the swivel joint and joins a section of 1.125" x
0.20" DOM tube  (same o.d. as the Healey outer column tube). this in turn
joins a Borgeson 1"DD:3/4"DD collapsing tube that will fail 6"-7" on impact
against the firewall.

5. the 3/4"DD tube is mated to a short stub section of the Healey worm gear
coming out of the box. the stock worm gear retains its roller bearings and is
further stabilized inside a short section of the stock outer tube an custom
turned oil-impregnated nylon flange bushing. I packed the box with bearing
grease in place of the original oil, but an oil-sealing felt setup like stock
could be made.

6. The three weld joints are made with custom turned billet plugs rose welded
to the tubes and run full precision welds around the joins. Don's work nears
perfection. Precision welding around billet turned splices made for a
stronger-than-stock column, with less than 0.01" of axial rollout. Installed,
the only conspicuous part of the column (between the firewall and the carbs)
appears stock, with essentially the same o.d. as the original 1-1/16" Healey
tube. The stock firewall blanking plate is kept for cosmetic appeal (or you
can mount the swivel ball joint to it for better impact resistance if you
don't mind seeing the swivel joint on the engine side)

Please email if you'd like drawings and narratives. If someone will host on a
web server, I 'll be glad to upload the drawings. I can put you in touch with
Don or will gladly chat  with your local machinist by email.

Install and fit the brake servo in the system. It will be bless, even 
with the smoother operation of a  "modern" clutch.

Wes -

Team.net has its own search engine. http://www.team.net/archive

I would also highly recommend using Google.  To do so, you type in your
search terms in Google, then "site:team.net" after your search terms and you
run a good chance of finding what you need.

Alternatively, I use Gmail to subscribe to team.net, which allows me to keep
all the emails in Gmail and use Google's search engine in my own email to
find what I am looking for.

Many smart alternatives out there....

In the process of restoring my A90.

I was wondering if any of you have a good suggestion for a generic grommet
Kit?  Many of the kits out there aren't exactly similar in shape or looks to
Austin/BMC grommets, so I was hoping someone out there might have a good
suggestion to find a kit that looks like the factory style grommets?  Or
should I just get one of the BCS kits for our Austin Healey?

I am hoping that somebody out there knows about shock absorber valve 
settings. As many 100 owners know most suppliers only sell the front 6 
cylinder version 8002 whereas the correct ones are 6075. The harder 
settings are fine for more rigorous driving but a little harsh for 
normal road use.
I have a few units that I am reconditioning that are all the same except 
for the valve springs. I am in the process of copying the 6075 springs 
which hopefully will give the right results in other units but my query 
is how does one measure the end result.

I have settings information for a few other types such as the A40 sports 
and this is specified as

Compression - 375 in./lb. and Rebound - 950 in./lb.

Does anybody know how to test absorber against such setting information 
and does anybody have the settings information for both front and rear

John -

Peter Caldwell of Worldwide should know.  He just did my A90 shocks.
Beautiful work.  He may even have the valve springs you are looking
for in stock.

I've copied him on this email.

This had to come in a hurry and it has left me in a devastating state.
I'm in some terrible situation and I'm really going to need your
urgent help. Some days ago,unannounced,I came to visit a resort center
in Cardiff, South Glamorgan England, UK..but I got mugged by some
hoodlums and lost all my cash,credit cards, I'm financially stranded
right now and my return flight leaves in few hours time but I need
some money to clear some bills, I didn't bring my cell phone along
since I didn't get to roam them before coming over. So all I can do
now is pay cash and get out of here quickly.I do not want to make a
scene of this which is why I did not call my house,this is
embarrassing enough.I was wondering if you could loan me some cash,
I'll refund it to you as soon as I arrive home just need to clear my
Hotel bills and get the next plane home, As soon as I  get home I'll
refund it immediately. Write me so I can let you know how to send it.

I got it, but don't believe it.  It appears that someone has figured out how
to spam the list.
Since Jody is on the list, I believe, maybe he got it too?

right now and my return flight leaves in few hours time but I need
some money to clear some bills, I didn't bring my cell phone along

now is pay cash and get out of here quickly.I do not want to make a
scene of this which is why I did not call my house,this is
embarrassing enough.I was wondering if you could loan me some cash,

months. I'll try to find his website and call him. This doesn't sound like
anything Jody would be doing. He has 2 very young kids and a wife. I'll report

SCAM!!!!....too embarrassed to call home, but not too embarrassed to send an
email to 100's of people he/she doesn't know and request cash?....I don't
think so...

I would caution against even sending a reply... to do so would verify your
email address is legit to the scammers.... that would open you up to even
more such solicitations....(or worse)

Yes  Scam. compromised email account

Here's another version of the same scam...

http://help.com/post/318378-ok-so-i-just-recieved-and-email-fr

NEVER accept this kind of email at face value.
Fortunately David Nock knew how to contact him.
But always google a paragraph of yhos type of email, before you make a  
financial decision.
We have a common bond. We will always help each other without asking  
questions.
But scams are too prevelant.
At least check. Copy & paste 10 words inside "inverted commas" as a  
qoute and see if it's a scam.

Several years ago there was a lot of correspondence on the 1957 Streamlined
100-Sixs that ran at Sebring that year.

I was just browsing Racing Sportcars site again and they have posted
additional photos of the three cars including an amazing colour photo of the
Pacific Green/Florida Green car number 25.

Photos can be seen at

This web site list car number 23 as being AHS 3804 which is the old Fred
Hunter 100S. Could it have been rebodied at this time?

Message-ID: <427854.2947.qm@web54504.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

The list has had lots of comments about Heritage replacement stuff , I corresponded with them for some time, finally bought new to (hood) for my BT7. The fabiric was excellent (Everflex) and I gave i to my installer. The top we took off was original, have had the car since 62, and when I went to pick up the car nothing fit. The back window was much larger and the side curtain openings were completely wrong, much too small. I called Heritage, got absolutely no satisfaction, was told after the top was on there was nothing they could do, I really cant argue with that. The top was supposed to be an exact copy of the original, not even close. I would certainly try Robbins or Moss, will never use Heritage again. Frank Yow, 61 BT7, have owned since 62, many of you have seen the car at NE AHCA events.

Clearly a scam.  Pretty easy to judge.

Just like Dr.XXX from Nigeria et al.

Hey folks,

So, I'd never a) get mugged, b) go anywhere without my cell phone and
c) it'd be pretty hard to keep from my wife that I'd traveled halfway
across the world. :).

Someone managed to shanghai my email account for ~1 hour this morning
(Which in a sort of twisted way I'm impressed with). They then sent
this stupid email out to everyone in my email, which, is ~3,000 folks.

I apologize to everyone who got this message. I was alerted within a
couple minutes of the issue, got them shut down and presently have
both Western Union and the Cardiff police organizing a sting for this
person. I hope that they will be in jail in a few hours.

Many thanks to all those who called/emailed with concern. The irony is
that I've had a chance to catch up with a lot of friends that I've not
talked to in a while.

Jody

A friend has replaced his BJ7 clutch with a "new old stock" one he bought on
ebay. Upon casual examination before installation it appeared to be identical
to the old one, however now that it is installed it is extremely heavy. The
hydraulic system is all new & properly installed & bled. There does not appear
to be anything binding or other unusual symptoms.
The only modification is a one size larger master cylinder to reduce the long
original pedal travel. I know that will increase the pedal pressure required,
but three of us have already made this change (although the 3 cars are all
BJ8s with different type clutches) & the pedal pressure increase could be
described as minimal to moderate.
Can anyone verify if a Borg & Beck #45696/14  10" cover assemble is correct
for a BJ7? Did they offer a heavy duty racing pressure plate by any chance?
Any other thoughts on what could be causing a very heavy clutch pedal?

We tried contacting Borg & Beck but got no help.
 Thanks,
Gary Hodson

Bought & installed "NOS pressure plate for AH 3000 BJ7"
Outer box reads 45696/14 10" Cover Assembly

I put my old pressure plate in the "NOS" box and upon re-inspection find the
Borg & Beck P/N to be 45616B.

Upon receipt of the NOS P/N I compared the two units. All appeared to be
correct; bolt holes, alaignment yellow springs and I thought the P/N's were
the same but can only verify what the outer carton reads not the actual plate
which is currently installed.

Hi Rob,

There are 3 of these triangular chromed retainers across the header bar. 
They are each held in place by 2 slotted countersunk oval head chromed wood 
screws and a small rubber buffer button is fitted so as not to scratch the 
chrome of the windscreen frame.
Two of these are visible in this picture taken of a late BN2

Maybe of no use, but whats it worth,

Cannot help you with the part number, but when I wanted to check the part with
FirstLine (B and B) they were very helpfull, there contact email was :
info at borgandbeck.com
Basically its all down to the spring pressure, the springs in the cover were
colour coded, I seem to remember they were light green for the bj8,  9 1/2 ",
(check your old assembly for the 10"). Hopefully someone may have an old parts
book to check the parts number if you get no further help from Firstline. I
believe on the bj8 that the e type jag also had the same size clutch but the
springs were harder and coloured dark green (this being the clutch I had).

cheers Andy

This happened to me with a Jensen Healey. I just could not find a cause 
untill I decided to to take the clutch apart again. I noticed that the 
blades of the diaphragm spring in the clutch cover were thicker than in 
the original, hence: /HD clutch or racing clutch/!. Replacing with a 
standard item restored everything to normal.
Also when you enlarge the diameter of the clutch master cilinder the 
force to press down the clutch pedal will be affected by being heavier.

Gary -

It is quite easy to mix up the BJ8 brake master and the BJ8 clutch master.
 On the BJ8, these units are not the same, but on your BJ7, these units are
identical.  If for some reason you've mixed up and put a BJ8 Brake master on
for your clutch master, then you will have the problems your are describing.

Per Borg & Beck Catalog S201/15-1969:

45696/108 is the correct cover for a BJ7 till Engine #4878.

75698/11 is then used for till the end of 6 cylinder production (B7J & BJ8).

46696/14 is for an Austin Commercial LDO 2.2 litre diesel or a IH B250 
tractor, among others.

Subject: [Healeys] Girling Break Servo vs. Lockheed
Message-ID: <199484.96875.qm@web56104.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

All,

The 65 BJ8 I purchased last March sat in a barn seizing up for the last 30 years. The good news is, the car is original.  The bad news is, the car is original. The owner did just enough restoration to sell it. That's not to say it was road worthy at the time. He had the brake cylinders redone, but not the servo. I have been driving the car and the brakes function, but without power assist.

My mechanic (for all the things I wont', can't or shouldn't do) suggests replacing the master cylinder with an earlier model with a smaller bore. "It increases brake pressure to where you don't need a servo."

My local British parts guy says I should drop in a Lockheed. "It's safest and by the way you need $100 bracket to make it fit."

I'd like to have the original Girling rebuilt, but both guys tell me it's not a good idea. They don't know of anyone who can do the job right and  independently steered me away from the place I found.

My restoration philosophy is to stay as original as possible unless prohibited by safety, cost or practicality. 

What do y'all think?

Greg

When I ordered my Lockheed from Healey Surgeons, it came with
instructions for modifying the old bracket to accommodate the Lockheed
unit. Involved turning the brackets over and drilling a hole or two as
I recall.

If you can do a 'brake job' you can rebuild a servo.  Kits are 
available.  For best results have the hydraulic cylinders re-sleeved 
unless they're spotless.  There are some potential gotchas--like 
trimming the seal in the vacuum cylinder and (possibly) having to 
re-coat the inside of the vacuum cylinder--but, all in all, it's not a 
terribly tricky job and very satisfying.  Search the archives for 
others' comments.  Some parts, like the seals for the air/vacuum valve 
aren't in the kits--at least the ones I've bought--but I think BCS has 
them (they won't necessarily need replacing).

Where these cars 100-Six based or were they 100S based?

They are listed on the page as 100S ( & 100S #3804) but referred heres as 1957
Streamlined 100-sixs. 100S were 4 cylinder not 6. #3804 was (is) 4 cylinder.

Heading on the pages wrong? or were these not 100-Six's?

Thanks for all the help. I solved the gap and window winder interference
problem using a couple of panel clips and new holes drilled in the top of the
lower section of the doors. I also was able to fit the front part of the panel
closer at the front edge of the door which allowed the door opener to operate
with out hitting the paneling.

Randy

That is the big question, which has not yet been completely answered due to
a surprising lack of information about these cars.

They had six-cylinder engines, but it is likley they were based on 100
chassis' and not the longer 100-Six. If so then they would be following in
the footsteps of the 1956 Bonneville Endurance record car which featured the
new 6 cylinder engine in a 100 chassis. Four streamlined alloy bodies were
made by Jensen. One went on the record car and the other three went on these
cars.

I don't know why one is referred to as AHS 3804. It seems a very precise
piece of information to have that detail listed about a race car, so perhaps
it's true. It would mean that AHS 3804 was rebodied and re-engined for this
race. The car was originally one of the special test cars, so it's not
impossible.

A "heads up" for those men who may be regular Home Depot
customers.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out
shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite
traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or
your friends.


Here's how the scam works:


Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car
as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start
wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts
almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to
look.
 
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead
ask you for a ride to another Home Depot or Lowe's. You agree and they
get in the back seat.
 
On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into
the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one
steals your wallet.
 
I had my wallet stolen May 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th,
Also April 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, three times just
yesterday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
 
So tell your friends to be careful.

I just fitted the horns to my BN2 and I noticed that the wires / bullet
connectors are fixed, unprotected, to the front crossmember. Was it like
this originally or were some kind of protection fitted by the factory?

Thomas,

The wiring harness came down to mount on the front face of the front cross 
member and was not protected any further than the outer cloth loom and the 
covering of each individual wire. Of course the wire ends went through the 
rubber seals and into the horn bodies.

Message-ID: <SNT143-w370C94DF1CFE1A09A69AEED4E50@phx.gbl>

I rebuilt a guys 100-4 engine a few years ago, where we converted it to "M"
specs and .030 over. He over heated it at least once (I didn't do anything to
his rad.).  He now has a head gasket coolant leak (3,000 plus miles) on the
right side of the motor.  Is there any recommendations for a replacement head
gasket or head gasket sealant?  I have always been one to not use any sealant
on head gaskets.

Thanks, Shawn

Anyone get any good deals/ cool things at Carlisle Import? I found a tonneau

MGB Jack for $35.00.  and a big Healey e-brake handle (frozen, but the chrome
isn't too bad) for $5.00.  A fellow club member of the AHSTC found an original
touch up paint jar from BMC for the AH in the color Healey Blue.

I have been silent on this until now only to say wouldn't it be nice if both
Reid and Gary sent an SOS out saying "hey guys, hold back a while as you
have given me enough items to keep me busy for the next couple of years." I
know of no editor who did not like a big pile of stuff to go through for his
magazine. Sure beats slimming it down for lack of submissions. Who among us
has not had an experience or two worthy of publication so that everyone else
is made aware of it.

Common leak spot on 100/4. I stopped it with the Dennis Welch Steel Head
Gasket 5 years ago on the 100 M - no leaks since.

Not cheap but well worth it.

have.  The A was a + earth, but I don't think that made any difference to the
"buzzer".  I got the buzzer from an elevator mechanic.  When I sold the car I
took the buzzer off - that has to be 15 years ago.  If I can locate it, you
are welcome to it.

For those contemplating submitting a story you might consider
something as simple as writing up a home repair, something
like I did way back when:

Nothing too earth shattering, but some folks might enjoy reading

Found two overdrive units, a center shift gearbox and a side shift gearbox. 
Would like to have found a 3000 engine while I had a truck available, but no 
one brought a lump like that to Import Carlisle this year. Show is 1/4 the 
size of years past, but still worth the trip.

Just buy a buzzing flasher.  Pep boys or Napa should sell them.

Hi, Dick -
Maybe the attachment will help.  I got both the buzzer (P/N 273-055A -
$3.49) and the chime (P/N 273-071B - $10.66) from Radio Shack.  You can use
two of either one instead of one of each if you prefer.  You can see the
result by going here:

A piezo electric buzzer from Radio shack works well.  I hooked it to the 
single wire on the flasher light on the  dashboard of my MGA.   One wire 
went to the light and the other went to ground and it buzzes along with the 
flashing light.    One would have to look at the schematic of our Healeys to 
see where to hook it
up exactly but I'm sure it can be done .

I bought a LOUD flasher from the Nocks at one time but it wasn't very 
effective under the hood so I removed it.     It would work fine if placed 
on the inside of the car.  My unit is called a LOUD FLASHER
and is yellow.

You may want to search the archives cause I seem to remember this topic 
before.

Hey I think I may have  just come up with a worthy article for the Marque . 
; )

Thanks Mike.  And I'll get back to you on your offer.

I ask re information because remembering from earlier list discussion is there
a difference in trafficator buzzer installation between Pre-May '64 Austin
Healeys and those that followed and have amber signal lights.

I've had my E-Type rear chrome light fixtures, which are pot metal, redone here in a town just outside Pittsburgh.  I was very happy with his work.  Do you just want metal repair of chrome, or both?  Haven't been there is a while, so am just assuming he hs still in business.

Won't hurt to give him a call to see.

Ok I thought that I had seen this before and I have. It is in an article
that I wrote for Healey Marque magazine and can be seen at:

http://www.healey6.com/email%20mechanic/email%20mechanic%205-07.pdf

OR

Go about half way through the article.

I have found that many of the links for the Email Mechanic articles are

I am currently dealing with JR Custom Plating in MN, who specialize in
chroming pot metal.  Google them.  They take their time (very busy)
but highly recommended.

Common leak all 100s will leak there at one time or another, right at the
engine ID tag.We install the DW headgasket and and hard head studs on every
engine we build and they do not have any water leaking problems.
We carry all of these in stock if you are in need. We will be closed this

I rebuilt a guys 100-4 engine a few years ago, where we converted it to "M"
specs and .030 over. He over heated it at least once (I didn't do anything to
his rad.).  He now has a head gasket coolant leak (3,000 plus miles) on the
right side of the motor.  Is there any recommendations for a replacement head
gasket or head gasket sealant?  I have always been one to not use any sealant
on head gaskets.

Greg, the OE servos are usually a 50 50 chance of a successful rebuild. We
usually install the new Lockeheed servo since they are very dependable and you
can very easily switchback to the original servo if you really have to have it
original.
My recomendation if you want safe and dependable is to install the NEW servo

All,

The 65 BJ8 I purchased last March sat in a barn seizing up for the last 30
years. The good news is, the car is original.  The bad news is, the car is
original. The owner did just enough restoration to sell it. That's not to say
it was road worthy at the time. He had the brake cylinders redone, but not the
servo. I have been driving the car and the brakes function, but without power
assist.

My mechanic (for all the things I wont', can't or shouldn't do) suggests
replacing the master cylinder with an earlier model with a smaller bore. "It
increases brake pressure to where you don't need a servo."

My local British parts guy says I should drop in a Lockheed. "It's safest and
by the way you need $100 bracket to make it fit."

I'd like to have the original Girling rebuilt, but both guys tell me it's not
a good idea. They don't know of anyone who can do the job right and 
independently steered me away from the place I found.

My restoration philosophy is to stay as original as possible unless prohibited
by safety, cost or practicality.

What do y'all think?

Greg

65 BJ8.

By
the way, if anyone would like a copy of the May issue in PDF format, just
send
me an email request.  The file is about
11 megs (and thats the low-res version), so be sure that your email can
handle
an attachment of that size.  (Although it
seems that most can these days.)



We
dont normally make such an offer, but I imagine that some of you may be
curious about the magazine and particularly that issue, and of course we also
hope that youll like it well enough to join the club and get it 11 times per
year (plus a calendar in the 12th month).



Thanks.

Try Cometic gasket.  They list a solid copper one for the 100.  You can also
order it an any thickness you need if you want change the CR.  The solid
copper gasket requires flat mating surfaces of 50RA or smoother.  The
instructions also require you to coat both sides with a gasket sealer such
as Gasgacinch or something comparable, but just normal torque specifications
are called for.

If the car has overheated you have a big chance that you have to shave 
the head again. Also check for cracks, as I think these heads are prone 
to cracks. Always fit a cilinder head dry on these cast iron lumps.
Only in some applications in mainly alloy block engines with separate 
steel liners some sealant is used between the outer edge of the 
block/gasket/head.

Emergency repair. It may or may not do the trick. Point is: it has 
overheated, which is always suspect and often bad news.

Greg,



John Stuart Power Brake rebuilt the original servo in my 65 bj8.  We have had
the car on the road for about 3 years now and have driven from North Carolina
to Conclaves in San Diego and Kingston, and have put many thousands of
additional miles touring in the mountains and coastal regions of NC and Va and
all points between.  So far we have had no problems at all with the servo (or
any brake issues).  Our car also sat in a garage for over 30 years before we
bought and restored it so I feel the servo can be rebuilt and it can be
dependable.  The price on average per the company is around $450, ours was a
little more due to the condition but a quote was given before repair was done.
Very easy people to do business with and a quick turn around time.



Hope this helps,



George Haywood

Greg,
In my experience the Girling servos work much better than any aftermarket
substitution.  Power Brake Exchange in San Jose does an excellent job
rebuilding Girling servo units.  They refinish them to original spec, bench 
test
them, and give a one year warranty.  We sent them one from a Healey that
had been parked since 1971 and it was no problem.  Mike at PBX told me
they do as many as 10 Girlings a week, so they are quite well versed in the
peculiarities.  I have been sending them Girling units ever since Girling 
quit
making rebuild kits (almost 20 years now) and have never had a problem.
The cost on the last rebuilds was $268 each, equal to or less than the price
of an alternate that doesn't work as well.  With a rebuilt Girling it is 
also not
necessary to replace the 2 brake pipes, which you would very likely need to
do with a non-Girling unit, and you will not be detracting from the value of
your car.
regards,

All,

The 65 BJ8 I purchased last March sat in a barn seizing up for the last 30 
years. The good news is, the car is original.  The bad news is, the car is 
original. The owner did just enough restoration to sell it. That's not to 
say it was road worthy at the time. He had the brake cylinders redone, but 
not the servo. I have been driving the car and the brakes function, but 
without power assist.

My mechanic (for all the things I wont', can't or shouldn't do) suggests 
replacing the master cylinder with an earlier model with a smaller bore. "It 
increases brake pressure to where you don't need a servo."

My local British parts guy says I should drop in a Lockheed. "It's safest 
and by the way you need $100 bracket to make it fit."

I'd like to have the original Girling rebuilt, but both guys tell me it's 
not a good idea. They don't know of anyone who can do the job right and 
independently steered me away from the place I found.

My restoration philosophy is to stay as original as possible unless 
prohibited by safety, cost or practicality.

What do y'all think?

Greg

65 BJ8.

Don't expect to get any help from their web site as all it does is to refer

Greg,
In my experience the Girling servos work much better than any aftermarket
substitution.  Power Brake Exchange in San Jose does an excellent job
rebuilding Girling servo units.  They refinish them to original spec, bench
test
them, and give a one year warranty.  We sent them one from a Healey that
had been parked since 1971 and it was no problem.  Mike at PBX told me
they do as many as 10 Girlings a week, so they are quite well versed in the
peculiarities.  I have been sending them Girling units ever since Girling
quit
making rebuild kits (almost 20 years now) and have never had a problem.
The cost on the last rebuilds was $268 each, equal to or less than the price
of an alternate that doesn't work as well.  With a rebuilt Girling it is
also not
necessary to replace the 2 brake pipes, which you would very likely need to
do with a non-Girling unit, and you will not be detracting from the value of
your car.

HI Rich,

Thank you so much for sending the picture.  I made some out of  
aluminum and was going to polish them but they seemed a tad thick.  I  
also need to know a width across one side or the distance between the  
center of the mounting holes.  I know the front bar has the holes in  
there because I saw them when the top was off.  The upholsterer didn't  
mark them so I am probing to try and find them without punching  
through the new top.  I did ride up to Vancouver without the clips and  
everything stayed in place even at 75 +. I used some tie wire to keep  
the hood clamps closed as I have heard of them letting go.  We scooted  
between rain drops and made it without any problems.  Left the top up  
for the show, it was the first time for this but the weather was iffy.  
We took a 3rd behind 2 new restorations and I was pleased.  Heavy rain  
last night and this morning on the ride back but it cleared after  
lunch.  We are home safe and sound and I am just clearing out my  
mailbox.


Best regards,

Rob

I had the same symptoms once and it turned out that one of the exhaust
manifold to down pipe joints was slightly loose. I tightened up the nuts and
the noise disappeared. I think you might experience the same noise if your
timing is off.

Dennis -

Popping usually suggests you have a lot of unburned fuel getting into
your exhaust.  I'd pull all of your spark plugs and see if any of them
look black or wet.  If so you probably have a bad plug.

By the way, have you gapped your rockers?  If your rockers are way off
you can get popping too.  Torque head and do rockers before doing your
tune up.

Finally, are you using your old coil or a new one?

Message-ID: <4BF9BD0D.3000406@earthlink.net>

Listers,

I guess that I didn't take enough alarm clocks and toasters apart as a 
child.  I've a couple of SU LCS fuel pumps to rebuild.  One coil has 
some charred insulation on the two leads.  So I thought that I'd press 
the coil out of the housing and see what's inside.  The SU service 
literature (AUA 236 July 1964) calls out some tools for reconditioning 
fuel pumps, including coil installation.  Anyone have any info on any of 
the following?

TUA 1	Depth gauge
TUA 2	Coil position gauge
TUA 3	Coil assembly punch
TUA 4	Punch for removing coil
TUA 5	Coil position gauge
TUA 6	Coil assembly punch
TUA 7	Coil assembly punch
TUA 8	Coil position gauge
TUA 9	Not-Go plug gauge
TUA 14	Rocker setting gauge
TUA 15	Rocker setting tool and gauge
AUA 564	Roller retaining fork
EX 102	Test Stand

The tools were supplied by BMC Service Ltd. to Official Reconditioning 
Distributors.

SU Carb (formerly Burlen) wasn't able to help.  Something to look for if 
I ever make it to Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon.

Cheers,
Bob

Follow up to the Heavy clutch question.
We removed the clutch master cylinder & discovered that it was a 7/8" bore
which is two sizes larger than a stock BJ7 clutch master cylinder. We
installed the stock cylinder & as you would expect, the pressure required to
operate the clutch was dramatically reduced.

Normally, (popping)out of the exhaust is a sign of a leak in the exhaust
system, allowing the unburned fuel to ignite. Check for leaks,momentarily put
shop rag over tailpipe outlets, listen for leaks. cheers Geno

Subject: [Healeys] The Correct PCV?
Message-ID: <2BB113741BCB4AABB63AD5F86771C407@rac>

I am researching the installation of the right PCV as a means of reducing the
crankcase pressure in my BJ8P1.  I understand that it is important to select
the PCV model that matches the unique requirements of an engine and, if
improperly matched, can cause a myriad of run difficulties.  After talking to
a few PCV-installed Healey owners, I found that different PCVs were used and
none seem to know the specs of their PCV or if it matches the requirements of
their cars.  Has anyone matched their PCV to the requirements of a BJ8?

G'day Derek

Information on these cars is indeed hard to find. However there are clues as
to what engine was used.

In reports on the Ferrari engined car, one of the Geoff Healey books states
that after the 4-cylinder Ferrari engine was removed the car was refitted with
a 6-cylinder and later performed better.

If you have a look at the photos of the chassis fitted with the Ferrari
engine, it sure looks like a 100 chassis.

Randy

That is the big question, which has not yet been completely answered due to a
surprising lack of information about these cars.

They had six-cylinder engines, but it is likely they were based on 100
chassis' and not the longer 100-Six. If so then they would be following in the
footsteps of the 1956 Bonneville Endurance record car which featured the new 6
cylinder engine in a 100 chassis. Four streamlined alloy bodies were made by
Jensen. One went on the record car and the other three went on these cars.

I don't know why one is referred to as AHS 3804. It seems a very precise piece
of information to have that detail listed about a race car, so perhaps it's
true. It would mean that AHS 3804 was rebodied and re-engined for this race.
The car was originally one of the special test cars, so it's not impossible.

Couple of comments:

Wire the buzzer in parallel with the dash turn signal light on the old cars.
For the later cars with 2 dash lights, get 2 buzzers .

This one comes with a built-in volume control at $4.95 US:

Small leak somwhere in the front part of the exhaust, lean mixture in 
the overrun, plug gap.
There nearly always will/should be some popping when backing off the 
throttle when the engine is hot.

In Geoff Healey's book 'The Specials" page 162 lists the Ferrari engined 
car as X224 ( I believe the prefix EX was a code for MG a the BMC group 
members used to refer to ; development exercises, or prototype or 
experimental.)

Quote "was based on a modified 100.S shassis fitted with a long nose six 
cylinder race body developed from 1956 Record Breaker"

Geoff's book 'The Story of Big Healeys' page 131 states, the X224 was 
created from one of the Sebring 100 Six competition cars.

X224 with Ferrari eng was raced at Nassau 1957 and driven by Peter 
Collins. ( F.1 Ferrari driver.)
Race no. 18  listed as AH LM  X224

For the 1959 Nassau races, the Ferrari eng. was replaced with a 175hp 
six cylinder Healey eng. and driven by another F.1 driver, Roy Salvadori.
Race no. 73  listed as AH 100.S  X224

 Does this not show the link between Bonneville record car, 100/6 
Sebring car and a further chassis--- a 100.S fitted with the same panel 
work but with six cylinder Healey.

Race entry lists often confuse these streamlined race cars depending on 
the source
I have seen; AH LM   X224
                    AH 100.S  X224
                    AH 100/6. S

Correct, but I should have also mentioned that he also has a 7/8" brake master
cylinder, so he didn't simply switch them. To make thinks difficult, the brake
cylinder (which was his rebuilt original) was clearly marked as a 7/8" size,
but the cheap reproduction had no such markings, part numbers or other
identifications on it.

Joe,

Derek is right we had an extensive correspondence here a couple of years back
(BTW Derek, good to see you back, you should've bought the car  ;-)  ) on the list
much of the output of which is on his excellent website.

The special that ran at Bonneville is probably number 25. The deduction is based
on a long list of "possibles" and "likely"s that may or may not go to form a
"probable". I think that the balance of opinion was that it is very likely.

For details go to Derek's site:

http://www.healeysix.net/Streamliners.htm

There is also a complete list of starters and finishers here:

http://www.teamdan.com/archive/wsc/1957/57seb.html

As Derek says it was still running at Nassau as well where Stirling, sorry Sir
Stirling, drove it (in an exhibition run?)

...so having read the earlier mails I went on a bit of a trawl through the RSC
archive and I found here:

http://www.racingsportscars.com/photo/Nassau-1956-12-09.html

at Number 11: Moss driving a Healey 100-6, Blue/white as in Derek's picture

For some time we have wondered whether Moss actually did drive an AH in the
Speedweek and why there wasn't a record of him appearing in it. It appears from
the record at RSC that he tested only. Why he did that I have no idea EXCEPT
that at position 29 (at the bottom of the page) Moss is down to drive a 300S
which was sold under him. GUESS: Moss couldn't drive the Maser but was asked by
Hambro or DMH if he would like to try the Healey as an alternative. The car
didn't race.

Moss finally drove Briggs Cuningham's Maser 300S to win (his 117th). OK it says
Lloyd entered it on the RSC site, but in Robert Edwards' semi-official biography
of Moss it is listed as Cunningham's entry.

Does anyone know of a link between William Lloyd and Briggs? -- that's what I
wrote: To show my ignorance 3051 was the first 300s and was bought for Briggs
Cunnigham's wife Lucy's cousin Bill Lloyd who campaigned it hard for several
years. Moss was already familiar with it.

I can't find who owned 3062.

Hi Peter

I still don't have a car yet, but getting close.

The reference to the fact that one of the three cars was AHS 3804 is
fascinating and deserves more research.

In Joe Jarrick's article that appeared in Healey Marque he states that AHS
3804 ran in the 1956 Sebring 12 hours as a private entry driven by Phil
Stiles and George Huntoon.

For Sebring 1957 Racing Sports cars list Car number 23 as being AHS 3804.
That car was also driven by Phil Stiles. Perhaps it was his car and he
agreed to run it in streamlined trim with a six cylinder engine. Remember
that at that time the 100S's were not worth  huge amounts of money and
Stiles may have been keen to try out the new streamlined design.

cheers

All major rust repairs have been completed. heater and radiator are out of
car. Both will be off to radiator shop this week. Radiator for HD cores, and
heater to repair core. Car will be towed to shop for paint removal on
Tuesday. Will pick up next week and return to auto shop at school. We will
complete little repairs that will be easier to do with paint removed. After
final welds and small whole repairs, the car will be off to body/paint shop
where she will be clothed in new blue over white paint scheme.
Then a return to my home garage for final re-assembly. Cold beer and hot
food available for anyone who wants to lend a hand. (spare bedroom available
too for out of town mechanics :) )

At this point I want to thank the many of you who have answered my
questions, challenged my assumptions and questioned my sanity. If it were
not for this list, my buddies at the auto/machine shop at school and my wife
of 28 years I could not be realizing a life time dream (36 years) of
completing my car.

I know the hard part is yet to come, but the goal is now achievable.
cheers

Ira -

Thanks for the update... It's nice to know that we all are helpful,
and makes a real difference.  I can't wait to see pics.

Your next project will be to get the Spruce Goose flight ready!
Report to the maintenance shed!

Cheers,

Alan

In looking at the Streamliner article in the latest Healey Marque, it would
appear the the rear push bar has a "Roller blade" type wheel on it.  Is that
really a roller blade wheel?

Looks a little big for a roller blade wheel. When the Streamliner was
in Portland it didn't have a push bar mounted. As you may know that
because of the relatively numerically low gear sets used for high speed
runs most of the racers have a push vehicle get them moving. The old
flats photos show a lot of 2x lumber replacing the front bumpers of the
push vehicle. Having that roller on the push bar should help with track
irregularities and maneuvering the race car to the starting line.
Perhaps it is the norm now days but I'm not a salt flats or dry lake
racer....wish I could try in once.

Derek,

Hambros as the entrant; Hambros being BMC (NA)'s agent/distributor. I assume Ash
to have been the person who signed the papers. However the one at:

http://www.teamdan.com/archive/wsc/1957/57seb.html

shows Ash as entrant AND driving an MGA (car 27). Maybe he was the team manager
for Hambros. It is fairly evident down the years that Hambros regarded racing as
a major part of their activities.

Re AHS 3804: RSC lists it as appearing at:

56 sebring 12 hrs (#31) came 11th entered by Ship and Shores listed as "red"

57 Sebring 12 hrs #23  Stiles/Bentley entered by Hambros

**62** Bahamas Cup (#9N) Paul Isaacs entered by ??probably himself.

So according to those records a car with that chassis number was racing in 62.
So can anyone recall who Fred Hunter said he bought Millie from?


Regards,

Peter

No - you must match numbers in complete gearsets, if the number on
your cluster is different on your newly acquired cluster, you will
blow up your box.

Hi Keith,
Does it have exactly the same number of teeth on every gear?
If it does, then you need to roll the appropriate matching gear  
against the cluster to check the cut is the same.
If it makes ANY noise (usually the straight cut first) then it is a  
different profile.
E.g in a series, there are A cut and B cut gears - same teeth count,  
different gear profile.
I still have a huge amount of BN1/ A70/A90 gearbox bits & boxes if you  
get stuck.
Call me, or email me.

I don't recall if there are younger kids at your school and if so what seems 
to be their feedback
on this cooooool  car.  Any future 50s in the making?

What is the hard part that you are referring too.   The rust is gone,  what 
could be more beautiful than
that?      Suggest that you tap all the nut and bolt holes and the screws 
will go in like butta. ;  )
And your local Ace Hardware store has all the SS fine thread screws that you 
will need.

HS kids. The kids have built a 32 ford roadster. They are now working  
on a 29 truck hot rod. Are helping to assemble a 40 chevy. They have  
been helping with the healey. The teachers have been using the car to  
teach about. Differefnt ways to build suspensions and other  
anachronistic aspects of our cars. The project is well received. Kids  
come talk to me about the progress. As do staff
The hard part is figuring out how to put it back together and worrying

I hoping you computer guys can help me. I took photos at a car show in
Woodland CA for our news letter and they were fine in the camera. When I tried
to load them onto the computer (that I've done a thousand time) it says
"corrupted data" and will not load. We took them to a camera kiosk and the guy
there made a disk that has the photos on it but he could not do anything with
them. The photos come out blank. The CD downloaded to out computer but we
could not open it. Does any one out there know enough to help un-corrupt the
camera chip?
Thanks

Haven't seen this particular problem before (camera make and model? how were you trying to 'load?' are the photos stored on compact flash or SDCard?, etc.?), but .... 

I'm afraid you're probably SOL, at least as far as this set of photos goes. Try a different memory card with some more shots--if it works it's a bad card; if not the ASIC that stores the image to memory is probably toast. Depending on make/model/price etc. it may or may not be worth trying to repair the camera. Newer cameras generally are better and cheaper to boot.

I hoping you computer guys can help me. I took photos at a car show in 
Woodland CA for our news letter and they were fine in the camera. When I tried 
to load them onto the computer (that I've done a thousand time) it says 
"corrupted data" and will not load. We took them to a camera kiosk and the guy 
there made a disk that has the photos on it but he could not do anything with 
them. The photos come out blank. The CD downloaded to out computer but we 
could not open it. Does any one out there know enough to help un-corrupt the 
camera chip? 
Thanks

The camera is a Canon D10.  the photos are on a Compact Flash disk and I have
to use a card reader to download them to my computer.  After I upgraded my
computer to Windows 7 this was the only means to download.  It no longer
downloads directly from the camera and Canon has not come up with a compatible
program as yet.

Hi Richard.

I've had that happen to me a couple of times.  On occasion I've
been able to open it in the following way.

1. Locate where you have saved the
file.  In your case you would have to save the files from the CD to your
computer.   
2. Change the name of one of the files from a jpg file to a bmp
file.
3. Try to open it in either: 
    a. Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
    b. Windows Live Photo Gallery
    c. Windows Photo Viewer

If it should
open in any one of the modes than change the name back to a jpg file and save
it.

I'd won't guaratee that this will work but I was able to recover what
seemed to be a corrupted file this way.

If that doesn't work you might try to
google "Photo Recovery"  This is one of many sites listed.  
 
http://tinyurl.com/2fb4me4 
 
My daughter is a professional photographer and
lost a photo shoot file a few years ago.  She was able to download software
from the internet and recover all the files from the memory card.  For this to
work you would need a card reader. I seem to recall that the price was
somewhere around $69.00 for the software.  She already has a card reader.  I
don't remember which site she used.  Before she paid them to download the
files she called them to confirm that their software would resolve her
problem.  

Hope this helps.

Can you still see the pictures on the camera?  If so, I'd recommend finding 
someone with a older version of windows and download directly to that 
computer.  Then you will be able to copy the pictures onto a CD or DVD to 
load on your computer.  If you can't see them in the camera anymore they're 
probably toast.
Not an expert by any means, but have had similar problems

Gary, the Moss paper catalog AHY-108 (Spring/Summer 2010) has them on page
A21.  For 100-6/3000, P/N 870-130 ($89.95).  Use that part number and search
the on-line catalog to see if it doesn't turn up.

All,

Sorry for turning this into a Parts Forum, but I'm having trouble finding the two screws that hold the E-Brake to the tunnel. Part number 35 on the, "Restoration Parts & Accessories > Brakes > Handbrake", page in the Moss catalog   They are 1/2" counter sunk, Philips heads.  Par for the course on this restoration, the threads are fine, but the heads are stripped. 

Also, the gasket that fits between the tunnel and the floor pan and firewall. Everyone I ask says use commercial insulation. Any recommendations? Can I get something at a Home Deport or Lowes?

Thanks Again,

Greg

You might try some one with a linux program such as Ubuntu on their machine 
as I have found that sometimes Windows will not see the card or call it 
corrupt, where as Ubuntu will see it and you can get the pictures off of the 
card.
         Just a suggestion

          I have both Windows and Ubuntu on one machine as dual boot. This 
way if one does not work the other does and I can access the Windows part of 
the drive from Ubuntu.

          I have also used Ubuntu from a DVD and run it from the DVD this 
way you can save any info to an external hard drive or a flash drive. I have 
rescued many files from Windows Computers that have crashed, this way.

you can go to ubuntu.com and download a copy. Burn it to disk . it will
"live boot" from the cd and not install on your computer.

The screws are the same as the door hinge screws which you can get from any
vendor.

Greg,

Call British Car Specialists and they will send you what you need.  The great
thing about them is that you pay actual shipping/mailing fees instead of those
like Moss or VB, parts prices are about the same as Moss'.  Shipping time to
the right coast is a few days though but it's worth it for a big shipping
savings and they have good stuff.

Just a satisfied customer,

George

Hey Gary -

I have one where the tab for the fog light broke off.  You are more than
welcome to have that piece of crap.

If you are planning to use the bar to mount fog lights, don't bother.  If
it's for your badges only, then the bar is fine.

Cheers,

Alan

I hoping you computer guys can help me. I took photos at a car show in
Woodland CA for our news letter and they were fine in the camera. When I
tried
to load them onto the computer (that I've done a thousand time) it says
"corrupted data" and will not load. We took them to a camera kiosk and the
guy
there made a disk that has the photos on it but he could not do anything with
them. The photos come out blank. The CD downloaded to out computer but we
could not open it. Does any one out there know enough to help un-corrupt the
camera chip?
Thanks

Thanks for all the replays. They got me on the right track. I have found a IT
guy who does pro photo stuff and he will try to straighten things out tonight.
I hate it when I accept responsibility for something and I screw things up. It
turns out we said "yes" to a pop-up on the computer asking if we wanted to
"fix and repair" before downloading. I was told that it came up because I
hadn't "formated" the flash car to the camera in a long time. Live and learn.
Thanks all,

Ed,

There are a lot of jobs associated with the clubs that could use a "thank
you": concours judges (I know, not part of the clubs, but closely associated);
the organizers of Conclaves and local events, regalia sellers, auto-x
setter-uppers, you name it.  Sometimes the critics make more noise than the
folks that are happy that someone is there to put their shoulder to the
wheel.  I know everything's not always perfect, but I think the majority of us
are grateful for their efforts.

Did anyone notice the photo of the "Ferrari" on Pg 6 (Truth & Beauty)
in the 24 May issue of AutoWeek.

It looks suspiciously like a  Healey Silverstone, due to the spare
location and the British Flag emblem on the door.

Does anyone know who is driving?

I have a phase 1 that has clear bee hive lenses on the front turn lights. The
PO put yellow-orange bulbs in. ( I'm guessing it was the PO and not original)
I found two NOS in the box orange lenses at a flee market at a  LBC show and

have glass lenses, when where the orange ones used? And what is appropriate

Rich,
Here in the USA, orange turn signals were frowned upon by the gov't 
until a certain time.  In other countries around the world it was 
probably mandated that cars have them.  I know that for the home market 
MGAs had front turn signals with amber lenses, but here in the USA they 
were clear.  That same glass behive lense that you are talking about was 
used at the rear of MGA 1600s for the turn signal lamps.  In fact those 
lenses were used on many cars, front and rear.  In could be that for 
home market and other countries the amber ones were used at the front of 
Austin-Healeys also, or at the rear in other makes.  It is uncommon to 
see anything other than clear lenses on a Healey earlier than phase 2 
BJ8s.  Even the single light plastic lensed cars seem to have clear.  As 
there were a lot of safety regulations that went into effect in the USA  
for 1968, I would think that maybe that is when we changed over to amber 
being allowable.
My personal opinion is that the different color shows up better from the 
front when the headlights are on, so I have orange bulbs in my BT7.

1963 model year was when Drteoit iron got amber front turn signals.  
Not sure when Healey implemented amber.

If you can still see the pictures in the camera, you might try hooking it
up to a MAC computer (the one with the apple on it) and see if iPhoto can see
the pictures. iPhoto has the software built in to read directly from most
cameras -- Canon stuff is pretty standard -- so that you avoid having to ask
the computer to deal directly with the files itself.
If you can't see the pictures, everyone else is right -- your pics are
broiled bread.

Rich, separate beehive lights for turn signal and parking indicators were
used on BJ7s destined for Germany and Sweden, and on German BJ8s up to body
number 75207 (which corresponds to chassis 30302) and Swedish BJ8s up to
body number 76137 (chassis 31223).  The turn signal lenses were orange.
I've attached a photo of 27574, a German-spec car which has the separate
indicators, although the ones in the photo have the turn signal lenses
inboard, rather than outboard as they should be.

What are the part numbers on the box for orange lenses you have?

Anyone know of a source for a finned 6 cyl valve cover that is plain.
That is no provision for a valve clearance plate. This is for a period
race car and I figure the mechanics had memorized the valve clearances.

Gents,



Is there any rule of thumb regards the number of turns equalling degrees of
timing on the little advance/retard wheel on the BJ8 distribiter?  I've found
nothing in the manuals or the archives.

Message-ID: <SNT144-w25852BC45086EE0CCEBD2D5E90@phx.gbl>

Guys



I have only started my car a few times on axle stands, and have traced a water
leak that is dripping from the bottom edge of the water pump and running down
the edge of the engine. Its a few drops every hour, since I started it again
yesterday.



I was going to pull the pump and change the gasket, again using a sealant on
both sides (will use blue hylomar instead of red hermatite this time, like I
used too), checking if its the coming up the stud or from the mating faces.



I have only got to fit the bonnet, grille and front bumper now, but would like
to sort this problem first. Hopefully there may be enough clearance on
removing the fan blades and the recored radiator to get the pump straight
out.



Reading the archives, it has been suggested that it could be the new pump and
running it dry on a drill might make the seal bed in? Please note I'm in the
UK (if suggesting a rebuild on a new pump). It was an SC Parts pump on offer
which I propably purchased 3 years ago.



any thoughts?



thanks Andy

The pictures are there but reduced to 1/4 size with "corrupted data" printed
below. I had an IT pro-photo guy go over the flash card and the disc that was
made (the disc shows the pictures on it but can not reproduce anything). I
have tried using a card reader and direct form the camera. The IT guy thinks I
did it when I let Windows 7 "fix and repair" before downloading. I will tri to

Andy it almost a certainty that the leak is being caused by leakage past the
seal. Once antifreeze has been run in a pump it is hard to get it to bed in
as the antifreeze works very well as a lubricant.
I would recommend leaving things alone until you have run the first few
hundred mile, it will probably resolve itself.

Message-ID: <FCEA2BCF2DE14AE79DD53A76A235D6FF@rac>

Rich,

As I remember, the amber turn signals first appeared in the USA on the BJ8
single parking light Phase 2 in late 1964.  I placed my order for a BJ7 in
late 1963 and, when delivered, the dealer asked me if I would accept the BJ8.
Of cause I was glad to do so and was proud to be driving the latest.  One
night, six months later, I was frustrated to see a new model with amber lights
in my rear view.  Although the plastic lenses (non-beehive) appeared white, it
was obvious when lit that the bulbs were amber.  I can't guaranty that the
owner hadn't replaced the bulbs, however, I believe it to be highly unlikely
as the owner had only just picked the car up that afternoon.

All the best,
Ray

In Canada, amber front turn signals were required from 1st January 1963, so 
they simply installed amber bulbs inside clear lenses. Those lenses may well 
have been retrofitted onto your Healey from period Mini's etc.
I completed a Phase 1 BJ8 for a customer last year and set it up as a 
Canadian spec car, so installed amber front side lamp/turn signal bulbs 
inside clear glass behive style lenses.

Often the seal on waterpumps leaks when a new or rebuild pump is 
installed or if an engine has not run for a while and if water instead 
of coolant is used.
Usually the leaking stops after a while when the seal and mating surface 
have bedded in. If the leaking does not stop the seal is worn, the 
rubber diaphragm has ripped or the mating face is pitted badly, 
rebuilding or renewing the pump is at hand.

Bob,

  According to Norman Nock's Tech Talk pg 149 it should be 3/8" from the end
of the outside armour to the end of the cable or the the length from the end
of the bushing to the end of the cable is 5/16".

Subject: [Healeys] Requesting help wrt Correct Assy of Rear wheel cylinder
 locking plates and seal for '60 MK1
Message-ID: <20100527025516.1107@web009.roc2.bluetie.com>

I removed my leaking wheel wheel cylinders several months ago to replace them
new cylinders. I thought I took sufficient notes, but now I am unsure what is
the order/orientation of the locking plates and the rubber seal installation
perplexes me.

I think the order of reassembly is:
1.	Detach cylinder handbrake lever (the lever through the backing plate that
moves the wheel cylinder) from the tie rod connecting it (eventually) to the
cockpit handbrake lever. Slide seal over handbrake lever 'til seal is against
the backing plate. Reattach lever to tie rod assy.
2.	Insert cylinder through backing plate and connect brake line b do not
engage slots in cylinder into the two fingers on the cylinder handbrake lever.
Loosely install brake line.
3.	Insert the top locking plate (#4 in the workshop manual Fig. M-2) on the
inboard side of the backing plate and down into the slots on the sides of the
wheel cylinder. There are two hooks (90 degree bent tips) on this locking
plate and these should be facing toward the middle of the car (inboard) away
from the backing plate.

When I removed my original wheel cylinders, I thought the rubber seal (#1 in
Fig. M-2) had a thin web which was trapped underneath the two locking plates
against the backing plate. Looking at the seal I have and the picture in the
work shop manual, it appears I have a correct rubber seal. However, the seal
appears to be far far too thick to fit between the backing plate and the two
locking plates. The seal measures ~0.1" thick. Maybe if I add soapy water to
the rubber seal I could slide the #4 locking plate on top of the rubber seal,
and then follow with the #2 locking plate insertion. Seems like a very very
tight fit, but maybe the seal deforms

4 Now the wheel cylinder can be lifted over the two fingers of the cylinder
handbrake lever so the two fingers (cylindrical stubs) locate into rounded
slots in the cylinder.

5.	From below the cylinder, insert the bottom locking plate (#2 in the
workshop Figure M-2) inboard of the other (#4) clip (b
Inboardb
 meaning the
#2 clip is closer to the center of the car compared to the #4 clip which is
against the backing plate.). The order of parts from the wheel brake cylinder
inwards would be: cylinder, backing plate, rubber seal, locking plate #4, then
locking plate #2.

6. Tighten brake line. Carry on with installation of shoes with lube on
contact points, etc.


Any help would be much appreciated.

There were marks on the distributor of the Triumph Spitfire I once 
owned. It is probably described in its manual.
As these Lucas distributors are basiccally all the same it may be safe 
to say that one turn of the knurled wheel stands for the same 
advance/retardation of all these distributors. This knurled or vernier 
nut was spring loaded and could be rotated with clearly noticable 
clicks, each click is one degree.
If you have a stroboscopic timing light it should be easy to check the 
in-/decrease in timing when you turn the vernier nut e.g. 5 clicks and 
work out the result for one click.

Terry -

I believe with the micrometer you can only adjust a couple of degrees either
way.  I find it fairly useless, actually.

Hi all, we had an interesting discussion last night at our monthly local car
club meeting when someone asked the question of "what life expectancy should
we expect from the tyres fitted to our classic cars"? Some of these cars do
less than 1000 miles a year and almost all are laid up during the winter
months in dry storage. Some cars have been in the same ownership for over 10
years and have the same tyres fitted when they acquired the vehicle.

The tyre condition is good with no apparent cracking on the tyre walls that
you see on some very old tyres and tyre wear is not the issue either, but at
what point should you consider changing these anyway due to age?

Kindest Regards

Grant,

I replaced a wheel cylinder a few weeks ago and had to leave the parking
brake linkage disconnected from the lever till the wheel cylinder
installation was finished. I also had to fit the two pins of the lever
into the wheel cylinder to be able to fit the top locking plate.

10 years is really the max.  I had 15 year old Rikens with no cracks,
looked new and 80% tread - the belts delaminated - very dangerous
thankfully I noticed the vibration while on a residential street.
When I pulled over you couldn't even see the delamination, I just
noticed the sidewall varied slightly in offset from the rim - very
subtle.  Took it to the tyre shop and the thing practically fell apart
when he broke the bead to remove the tyre.

I think the best sign is if the tyres are slippery in the rain.  If so, replace!

Tom,
This has been discussed regularly on all classic car fora.
For safety sake tires should be changed after 7-10 years of age (as 
indicated by the marks on the tire, not the bill of sale), depending on 
storage conditions and opinion of people in the know. They may be 
perfectly OK after this time but you cannot be sure. The compound 
hardens ( leading to bad road behaviour and wet road performance) and 
can change without any external signs like cracks or crazing, also 
invisible internal delamination can be at hand (sudden blow out, 
desintegration of tire).
Tire tests show again and again that NOS tires do not comply anymore 
with the original High Speed requirements and many serious accidents 
caused by a blow out have been attributed to old tires that were sold 
and fitted as new tires.
My own experience has been with the tires on my Jensen Healey I bought 2 
years ago. It had new tires in 1999 (date of manufacture 1997) , had 
driven about 2000mls from that time and the tires looked absolutely 
brand new. Wet road behaviour was terrible and it handled like a dog, OK 
they were Hankooks but even new Hankooks should not handle that bad. 
Obviously the compound had hardened considerably.
I changed them recently to Nokian V tires and this changed the road 
behaviour of the car very dramatically.

Michelin will suggest a thorough inspection on an annual basis after 5 
years, and dispose of after 10.
The question is one of the 'how long is a piece of string' ones.  There are 
so many variables with tyre construction or types, the use it has over the 
1000 miles and the storage conditions for the rest of the year.  If the tyre 
is stored with the weight of the vehicle on it, the tyre may keep the 
'bulge' at the bottom, if at a slightly low pressure it probably will. If 
kept at a high pressure to reduce the bulb it may promote cracks.  Jacking 
up may help.  UV from sunlight will degrade the carcase, ozone produced from 
nearby electric welding will do the same.  Soft compound tyres will harden 
and harder ones may become brittle.  Internal delaminating from standing may 
not be visible from the outside and some 'blow outs'  (instantaneous 
decompression) are caused by this problem.
Today's tyre construction is a very high tech affair and even alterations in 
building humidity affect internal tyre bonding processes.  Some makes I will 
not run on at all, some people won't run on a remould tyre but at least the 
carcase has been tested for thousands of miles beforehand!  Passenger 
aircraft all run on re-moulds with cargo planes getting the new, untested 
ones.  So that piece of string is .......... how long?

Not sure what the etiquette is for asking non Healey Questions........

Have recently replaced the entire hydraulic system on my Jag xk 150, The car
has a servo, which I have plumbed in, but did not attach the vaccum line to.

Also replaced the master cyl with an "equivalent" unit that showed up with a
pushrod that was way too short, so I reused the old rod and attempted to set
up at the same length.

Brakes will not release and remain firmly clamped on discs after bleeding.
The car won't even move.  Is the problem not having the servo hooked up or
related to the adjustment of the master cylinder rod?

This could well be caused by improper adjustment of the pushrod. This 
will probably be discussed in the WSM.
I had the same problem years ago with another car. I just adjusted the 
rod according spec and all was fine.
Another cause can be the valve in the MBC being at fault or a non 
fitting MBC. In that case contact the supplier.

The master cylinder rod is too long, not allowing the brakes to release.
 Unbolt the master and the brakes should release.  If they do, this confirms
the diagnosis.

Jonas -

The servo is plumbed, so it is possibly the problem.  It is basically
almost the same type servo as used on BJ8s.

Although the vacuum piston may not have vacuum on it, it still may
have partially activated.  If you are using the old style vacuum
piston servo, likely the rubber seal put under the piston's leather
seal is too big (very common problem) and is forcing the piston in the
on position.

Try tapping the servo with a rubber mallot, carefully on the flat face
of the vacuum chamber.  If that releases the brakes, then the fat seal
is your problem.  Cut the seal in half and reinstall.

Subject: [Healeys] Tire ITyre) life
Message-ID: <8867d.79dd6674.392ff68e@aol.com>

As noted earlier, the life of your tires starts when they're manufactured, 
not when they were sold to you, or when they were installed on your car, 
since their life has more to do with the aging of the compounds in the tires 
than with the actual use of them.

On the sidewall of new tires, you'll find a four-digit code molded into a 
rectangle. The first two digits are the last two digits of the year in the 
21st century in which it was manufactured, and the last two will be the week 
of manufacture. e.g. 0449 was manufactured in the 49th week of 2004. 

If the code you find has only three digits, it works the same way, except 
that it will be the year of the decade   and the week of manufacture in the 
last century. e.g. 429 would have been manufactured in the 29th week of 1994, 
or maybe the 29th week of 1984! (When this system was put into place they 
assumed no one would ever use a tire for more than ten years, not counting on 
concours packrats who somehow could manage to produce a set of unused 
Roadspeeds manufactured when their Healey was new).

So, if it doesn't have four digits, it doesn't belong on a car outside a 
museum, and if the code indicates anything from 00 to 05, it's time to check 
it carefully and consider changing it.

Best
Gary

I am afraid it is the other way around, first the week than the year of

In Southern NV or places with other "extreme" temperature differentials, you
should error on the conservative side.

On my daily driver here, about 3 years is typical and 4 years is the absolute
max.  I recently had to replace a set of 4 year old 60k mile rated tires on my
truck recently at 30k miles, not because they were worn out, but because they
got hard and started spalling rubber.

Between low humidity, high UV radiation and summer road pavement temperatures
of up to 175 degrees F, tires don't last long in the desert.

Tires don't really appreciate extreme cold either.

I purcased a replacement rocker shaft assembly for my BJ8 due a bit lower than
normal oil pressure, oil in the rear air cleaner and squirting up from a
couple of the rocker arms. What is the suggested torque for the rocker arm
nuts? I know to be careful about applying too much torque to the oil supply
line. Can I re-use the copper washers on either side of the banjo fitting, or

Is there any rule of thumb regards the number of turns equalling degrees of
timing on the little advance/retard wheel on the BJ8 distribiter?  I've found
nothing in the manuals or the archives.

In the Mar/Apr edition of the MGB Driver Jeff Schlemmer of Advanced

slides into the distributor body you'll find a series of five hash
marks.  Each one is roughly 4 degrees of timing adjustment..."

Gees Louise,   who isn't looking for a Les Paul.   There worth big bucks. 
How bout a Fender
Strat signed by Eric Clapton?  Or B B's Gibson 355.

This is kinda like going on a guitar list and asking if anyone has an Austin

Google or Ebay may help.

You should contact "Rocker Arm Specialist"  email = rocker at c-zone.net.   He 
is in Anderson, CA.  He has done at least 4 for me, and they are very good 
quality.  ph = 1-530-378-1075.

I have been thinking about plating some bits. Chrome is too gaudy and zinc is
eeeehhh - OK I guess. I don't care about concours. Has anyone tried those
electroless plating kits that I see on the internet?

I've not attempted home plating, but a fellow I know has done some
bits on his various racecars and such in what I think he called cold
nickel plating.  More of a smooth, satiny silver finish compared to
chrome.  As I recall though, the chrome plating process involves
a layer of copper as body putty, so to speak, a layer of nickel as
primer, then the chrome.  That's the simple version, I may be
wrong.

Message-ID: <BA962BEB-272C-4F40-A190-70CA373485D5@earthlink.net>

Gentlemen,

This a very basic question, but I am hoping for some insight to see if there
is a common Healey reason for this.

I know my speedo has been bouncing, so I want to replace the cable to see if
that helps.  My main question is how to estimate my speed based on my
obviously incorrect speedo reading. I checked my speed with another car and
knew it was off. Today, I passed a PD temp. speed camera that displays your
speed. It indicated I was going 40mph, while my speedo showed my speed at
55mph. If I remember my engineering training from college, this is related to
the gear in the transmission and I should be able to adjust my speed by using
the fraction 40/55.  This assumes a portion for correction as opposed to a
simple add 15mph because the gearing of the speedo drive gear is adjusted by a
percentage, not a fixed number.  Any advice appreciated.

This is also a good math problem for my 11yo son.

Regards,
Bruce D. Griffin

Bruce,

You can get a pretty good approximation from a gearing calculator.  
Here's one:

http://www.angelfire.com/fl/procrastination/rear.html

Here's info on the speedo's innards:

http://home.comcast.net/~rhodes/speedo.html

You can 'calibrate' the speedo by repositioning the needle.   It'll be 
accurate only within a fairly narrow range; I usually shoot for accuracy 
around 60mph.

I got a new cable from Moss a while ago that helped the bouncing needle 
problem.

Speed checks with a display along the side of the road are notoriously 
inaccurate. Use a navigation system like TomTom or Garmin. On the 
display you can read the exact speed you are travelling, they are very 
accurate as long as you drive a constant speed.
You can have the speedo recalibrated using these readings or calculate 
the gear you need in the transmission.

I don't have your math answer, but I can tell you that almost all  
modern tires have a smaller rolling diameter than factory tires. That  
will cause a speedo to read higher than actual speed.

A bouncing speedo can be fixed by cleaning and lubricating your  
existing cable and cable angle drive.

Gentlemen,

This a very basic question,
but I am hoping for some insight to see if there
is a common Healey reason for
this.

I know my speedo has been bouncing, so I want to replace the cable to
see if
that helps.  My main question is how to estimate my speed based on my
obviously incorrect speedo reading. I checked my speed with another car and
knew it was off. Today, I passed a PD temp. speed camera that displays your

This is also a good
math problem for my 11yo son.

Can anyone advise whether it is possible to have a 100-4 speedo face fitted to
a later model magnolia speedo that drives off the BN4. I have change my
gearbox and rear axle to a non-overdrive BN4 tranny and differential, and it
would seem easiest to simply have a 100-4 black dial speedo face fitted to a
BN4 - BN7 speedometer case.
I have a good  magnolia sppedo body that is partially seized up, but I think
might be restorable. Any thoughts appreciated.

Did you drive the car and checked that the speed indication was at fault?
If not, first check if the rating (revs/mile) of the speedo is 
significantly different or not. It is indicated on the dial, usually 
near the lower edge.

Bruce,
Your question is an interesting one, but I'm afraid there isn't an easy 
answer.
In comparing the reading on my BT7's speedometer to the GPS readout, I 
have found that around 50mph the two instruments are in agreement.  As 
the speed gets below that, the speedo reads fast meaning that I'm 
actually going slower than indicated.  At speeds above 50 the car's 
speedo starts to fall behind so that my actual speed is greater than the 
speedometer says it is.
This all makes sense to me since there isn't a mechanical coupling of 
the speedo cable and the indicator needle on the Smiths speedometer.  
The coupling is by a magnet which could explain the phenomenon that I 
have observed.
Also, after all of the time since the cars were manufactured, they could 
vary greatly from one speedo to another, depending on how much magnetism 
they have retained.
And BTW, I am running a Toyota transmission, which probably has a 
speedometer drive gear different than stock.  I didn't have a GPS when 
the stock transmission was in the car, so I can't speak to that.
I also have a stock BT7, but have not checked that against a GPS.  That 
car has only 14,000 miles on it, so there would be little wear in the 
system, but time could have degraded the magnet.
Of course your car could be totally different.

Dead easy Allen - I've got just that in my V6 BN1 - cost me A$35.00 from 
Lionel Otto Instruments here in Brizzy. Got it marked to 140mph too (but 
you'll need to get the speedo recalibrated)

Allen

I have done something similar because I have a 3.454:1 diff in my BN2. 
If you are using a Speedo from a BN4 that also had this rear axle ratio 
then you should be OK.

I cannot remember where my mechanism came from but it had the correct 
flex revs per mile. The other thing to check is that the donor Speedo 
had the same needle degrees per mph. If say 80 mph is the same number of 
degrees around the dial then this is fine. On a BN2 dial, 80 mph is 180 
degrees from 0 mph.

Obviously the speed and distance will still read a little high if you 
use modern tyres with a smaller rolling radius

Regards

It was the M. Cyl Rod.  I shortened the rod and everything worked great, for
about 15 minutes of the cars inaugural ride.  Then it began suffering from
what appeared to be fuel starvation (but could just as easily be a bad coil or
condenser)

Car would not rev over 3k and sputtered and backfired and lurched and stalled
(repeatedy).  Then I would hit the ignition but not the starter, allow the
fuel pump to click a few times, and it would run fine for about 500 feet and
start the process over again.  The fuel pump sounded much weaker than it had
previously by the time I got it home.

Pulled the front fuel filter, full if "red clay" rust particles.  I haven't
gotten to the one in the tank, but expect the worst.  Oddly enough there was
plenty of fuel in the carb float bowls, so I'm a bit puzzled.

Thus it is on to the usual suspects here.

        1.  Drain and flush tank, replace filters
        2.  Test Coil possibly replace
        3.  Put in a spare condenser

However, how do I test the electric fuel pumps (there are 2) in situ or on a
bench?  They are new SU's just like the one I just installed in my healey.

Drain, clean, seal petrol tank, replace all rubber petrol hoses, 
replace/clean filter first.
Then test drive and go to the next checkpoint if required. Checking all 
three at the same time is useles.
Probably nothing wrong with the coil.

Jonas -

Jaguar tanks have rust/crud screens on them which can delay the clogging of
your fuel system until it gets really bad.  When you pull the screens,
you'll probably have a ton of sludge come out.  time to clean the fuel
system head to toe.

  Having read & agree with all the responses so far, I have 1 thing I would
like to add.  I experienced the same symptoms/problems with a vintage American
car ('36 Buick, straight 8 w/mechanical & electric fuel pumps).  The "red
clay" in the fuel filter you referred to I called rust colored "Elmer's Glue".
  I must have gotten some "ethanol enhanced" fuel sometime.  The alcohol
(ethanol) frees up any rust that may have been in the fuel tank, thereby
clogging fuel filters.  That's not the only problem with ethanol laced fuel
tho - it eats any rubber that is not made to withstand alcohol: ie. rubber
fuel lines and any rubber in carbs or fuel pumps.
  Thankfully, I have not gotten ethanol fuel in any of my LBCs, but it's
getting more difficult to find non-ethanol fuel.
  Cheers??    Mad Mike

Message-ID: <C4B7A56891C24264AA451FE672234ECF@DANSTROM>

David:
The torque is 27 lbs. Check your repair manual (might have to divide by 12).
Here is how I did the job. Snug fit that banjo fitting before putting the
assembly on and before fitting the other end of the fitting to the engine.
Many times the rebuilt assembly will come with a new banjo fitting in place.
Be careful if you remove it because it lines up with a hole in the rocker
shaft and if it gets off line it is a bitch to relocate and get lined up
correctly.  That is how that banjo bolt gets stripped.  Those copper washers
may be to thin and you might need to reuse what is in place and the copper
washers both.  After you have set your rockers to .012 (rule of 13s) then is
the time to start the engine to see if there is some oil leakage at the
banjo.  That is the time to do the final snugging up but do not crank it
down to tight.  That's is how I did the job and it came out great.  Buy the
way, I set my clearance on the valves to .013 on the advice of my buddy who
said it would be best for my non hardened 1982 rebuild valves and that it
would run a little cooler.  He runs his competition Healey at .015.

I purcased a replacement rocker shaft assembly for my BJ8 due a bit lower
than
normal oil pressure, oil in the rear air cleaner and squirting up from a
couple of the rocker arms. What is the suggested torque for the rocker arm
nuts? I know to be careful about applying too much torque to the oil supply
line. Can I re-use the copper washers on either side of the banjo fitting,
or
do I need to get new ones?

Thanks!

Drained the tank,



Downright clean .  A couple large chunks of rust, but not the sludge I
expected.  running a rod and rag through the bottom hole comes up pretty
clean.  Nothing like I expected at all.



Disconnected line at carb and pumps, blew a couple shots of clean gas back
through them - clean.



Inlets to pumps/ pump filters  - clean



Line from pump back to tank - clean.



Daignosis - unlikely that sludge or rust is causing the problem.



Time to test the pumps and following that, look for an ignition problem.



As a side note.  The jets on the SU's are like a healey's - they have the
rubber "diaphragm?" on the bottom.  Could this be a possibility?







Having had the front carb in my Morgan get clogged once, the drivability
problem was similar, but it was also similar to a failing coil and bad
condenser too.



Unfortunately the hunt goes on and remains undiagnosed.  Fortunately, it
doesn't appear that I have do do a tank removal and remediation.

Anyon have any ideas on that one. cable and angle drive has been lubed but
there has been no change in operation. Thanks for your thoughts

Jonas -

Sorry, I should have suggested to check your float jets first.  When
you get fuel starvation, tap the floats and see if that fixes the
problem.

Also, a faulty condensor or coil may mimic fuel starvation - after it
gets electricity and heats up it starts failing.

Tom,The front rad shroud is sauntered on not brazed on. Do not braze it , you
will crack the upper tank. All structures attaching to the upper and lower
tank are always sauntered, NEVER brazed. Take the rad to a good rad shop and
have them install the shroud.

Tom,The front rad shroud is soldered on not brazed on. Do not braze it , you
will crack the upper tank. All structures attaching to the upper and lower
tank are always soldered, NEVER brazed. Take the rad to a good rad shop and
have them install the shroud.

"FISHING BUDDY"
 
 
 
It was  the perfect day for a little fishing, but after a while I ran 
out of  bait.

Then a few feet up the shore I saw a snake with a frog in his  mouth, 
and frogs are good bass bait.

Knowing the snake couldn't bite  me with the frog in his mouth, I 
grabbed him right behind the head, took the  frog and put it in my bait 
bucket.

Now the dilemma was how to release  the snake without getting bit.

After thinking about it for awhile, I had  an idea: I grabbed my bottle 
of whiskey (hey, don't laugh: it's the best  part of fishing!) and 
poured a little whiskey in its mouth.

Sure  enough, his eyes rolled back, he went limp, and I released him 
without  incident. I carried on my fishing with the frog. Caught a big 
bass,  too!

A couple hours later I felt something brush my leg. I looked down  and 
there was that same snake looking up at me. He had two frogs in his  
mouth.

Have you inadvertently let the smoke out of the wires on your classic
British car? This, then, is the solution to your problem!

Here is presented for your perusal one Lucas Replacement Wiring Harness
Smoke kit, P/N 530433, along with the very rare Churchill Tool 18G548BS
adapter tube and metering valve. These kits were supplied surreptitiously to
Lucas factory technicians as a trouble-shooting and repair aid for the
rectification of chronic electrical problems on a plethora of British cars.
The smoke is metered, through the fuse box, into the circuit which has
released it's original smoke until the leak is located and repaired. The
affected circuit is then rectified and the replacement smoke re-introduced.
An advantage over the cheap repro smoke kits currently available is the
exceptionally rare Churchill metering valve and fuse box adapter. It enables
the intrepid and highly skilled British Car Technician to meter the precise
amount of genuine Lucas smoke required by the circuit.

Unlike the cheap, far-eastern replacement DIYsmoke offered by the "usual
suppliers", this kit includes a filter to ensure that all the smoke is of
consistent size, It has been our experience in our shop that the
reproduction Tiawanese smoke is often "lumpy", which will cause excessive
resistance in our finely-engineered British harnesses and components. This
is often the cause of failure in the repro electrical parts currently
available, causing much consternation and misplaced cursing of the big three
suppliers.

These kits have long been the secret weapon of the "Ultimate Authorities" in
the trade, and this may be the last one available. Be forewarned, though,
that it is not applicable to any British vehicle built after the
discontinuing of bullet connectors, so you Range Rover types are still on
your own...

This Genuine Factory Authorised kit contains enough smoke to recharge the
entire window circuit on a 420 Jaguar, and my dear friend and advisor George
Wolf of British Auto Specialty assures me that he can replace ALL the smoke
in a W&F Barrett All-Weather Invalid Car(147 CC) with enough left over to
test a whole box of Wind-Tone horns for escaped smoke. How much more of an
endorsement do you need?

More, you say? Well, I once let the smoke out of the overdrive wiring on my
friend Roger Hankey's TR3B, and was able to drive over 200 miles home from
The Roadster Factory Summer Party by carefully introducing smoke into the
failed circuit WITHOUT even properly repairing the leak. Another friend,
Richard Stephenson, was able to repair the cooling fan circuit of his Series
1 E-type by merely replacing a fuse and injecting a small quantity of smoke
back into the wires. So there!

So, if you're troubled by lost smoke, bid early and bid often! Thanks for
looking!

Frederich -

This seems to suggest the cup bearing in the instrument is starting to
lose lubrication, causing the needle to read fast when cold then as it
warms up, gets a little loosened lubrication then starts reading slow.

I might suggest you have a run at the speedo with the speedo rebuild
procedures which is on John Sim's healey website, the sheet tells you
how to lubricate the bearing.

If that doesn't help you may consider getting your speedo rebuilt.

Alan

I have used the Caswell electroless nickel kit on many small parts in the
restoration of two vintage Formula Ford racecars. Works as advertised. The
process of calculating the amount of nickel used is cumbersome so I just add
more solution when the quality declines. The appearance is affected by the
surface finish. If you bead blast the part, you will get a satin finish. If
the part is polished you will get a bright shine.

I highly recommend putting a light coat of clear 3M rattle can clear on the
fasteners to avoid flash rust.  On larger parts polish them well and coat. I
used this on a midget for all the fasteners and a year later the uncoated
parts are showing rusty signs.

Its fun but you have to sandblast well to remove all signs of rust.

Use a big mouth plastic bottle to do "batch plating and blasting".  Use a
soldering iron to perforate the bottle's bottom and sides to 3/4 the way up.
Fill about 1/3 full of nuts bolts etc and sandblast into the bottle inside
your cabinet while shaking the parts in the plastic bottle.

Next you plate using a similar bottle but with a bigger neck and fill it
with (perfectly rust free) nuts bolts etc.  Drop about 4 or five little
stripped copper wires (steal from phone line cord) down into the fastener
for your plating cathode.  Other wise you will need to wire all the parts up
individually for the cathode and plating.

Otherwise follow the instructions but remember to coat with clear paint to
reduce the time it takes for them to show rust again.

Oh any little splashes of the electrolyte will pit holes in your tee-shirt.

Warm Regards,

Tracy Drummond

Hi Allen, how soon do you need these parts?  I found a "better then mine"
e-brake handle at Carlisle this year.  I would think that sometime this summer
I will swap them and then would have the parts you need.

Yes. All healeys, including Sprites.
Chrome arm is different. Most of the rest is the same (rod, pawl, knob  
etc).
Probably the same as minis too.
Take yours, and have a BMC wrecking parts adventure!!
Many BMC cars of the same era shared the same parents.

I would suggest not to cover the bits with clear coat paint. Use clear

Caution on the interchangability of "e" brake handle parts for Sprite
and Big Healeys.  The mounting plate with the two large screws is a
mirror image on the two models. One mounts on the left of the gearbox
tunnel the other on the right.  Therefore the "brake off" stop, the
little piece of the mount that sticks out at the end of the teeth, is
always down. Sprite's don't have the spacers and the mounting screws
are different length.  In short just check the bits for fit before
prepping them for final assembly. Been there....done that.

Hi folks,
Ouch says my foot. I can't get a good seal on my old tunnel. Is there a
material of choice to put between the tunnel and the bulkhead on the sides to
make an actual seal? There is scalding hot air blowing out of where the
extension tunnel meets the bulkhead on the sides and I have no material there.
The extension panel and the tunnel also have a poor seal. Any material to put
there?

I bought an Extreme Dynamat door kit from a local stereo shop to put on the
floor but it does not seem like the right stuff.

Thanks for any suggestions

The tunnel has a groove that mates with a leading edge on the floorpan of
the car.  This needs to be sealed.

The best way to seal this is with rubber/foam that is used to seal truck
canopies to the bed of the truck.  It is about 1" wide and sticky on one
side. I stick it to leading edge of the floorpan and let it fold over on
both sides.

There should also be a foam/rubber seal on the leading edge of the tunnel
where it meets the firewall as well as on the in side of the tunnel where it
overlays the driveshaft tunnel.

With respect to Dynamat,  The stuff you used is fine (expensive but fine).
There are other brands out there that are the same stuff but cheaper.  

In addition to putting the Dynamat on the floor pan I also put it on both
sides of the tunnel to keep the heat and mechanical noise down.  Works
great.

In my cars I first make sure there are no pin holes or any open holes
from the fire wall wall. dark garage at night: flashlight under the
car and in the engine compartment.

Then add a layer of Kool mat (or equivalent) from under the dash to the
trunk.

Use the Kool mat on both sides of the tranny cover. Make sure it is
taped over the seams or the overlap well.

Be sure to close up the  opening around the gar shift as tight as possible.

Then add a layer of Dyna pad. It is sound deadening and insulation.
Use this instead of jute underlay.

Drive the care without putting the carpets back in to determine if you
missed anything.

The xk jag has 2 su fuel pumps installed that are exactly the same as the one
on my healey.

One of the 2 is working, the other is not.  The non working pump is one of the
reproduction pumps, and the solid state "chip" under the plastic cover is
fried.

I don't see the chip in the moss catalog.  Can it be replaced?

If not, it would appear that the pump could be retrofit with points - is this
possible?

Also, A Healey uses only one pump and can't possibly use that much less fuel
than the jag.  Thus I am beginning to believe that my drivability problem is
ignition related, not fuel delivery.

These are all great ideas.   It maybe a bit late now but if done right your 
carpet should be folded over the edges of the  vertical panel to form a 
pretty tight seal and then the weather strip from a hardware store can be 
installed on the top of the vert. panel .  It doesn't help that the frigin 
speedo cable is squished in there too but thats the way Donald wanted it I 
guess.   The  bottom of the tranny tunnel lip needs a thin(height) but wide 
rubber gasket to make a good seal.

The hardware store stuff is cheap enough so just buy some different sizes 
and then trial and error.  You can
use the left over on your leaky Jag.   )

Some new sheet metal screws in new holes may pull things together a little 
tighter.

is a matter of installing it in the correct direction.  That does not rule out

Jonas -

You can buy those chips direct from SU Burlen in the uk.
Burlen.co.uk.  Chances are it fried because something is wrong with
the pump, so I would dissassemble and inspect....

I have stripped threads on the right rear wheel cylinder of my BN2. Moss lists
a Gold Seal cylinder assembly for $23 and change, lists a Girling BN7 assembly
for $107. Is the Gold Seal "cylinder assembly" a fully functioning wheel
cylinder that will run in place of a Girling original? there is a rebuild kit
for about the same price, so I gather without talking to Moss that they are
offering a cylinder that replces the original Girling model. Is this true?

I have been to the  local muffler shop for a check up/ tighten up on the
entire exhaust ,clamps
and joints.   I even stood there while they did the work.

There was one area that appeared to have some carbon build up so he tightened
things up with sealer and clamps.   The exhaust is new by the way.

I still have some fumes coming into the cockpit,  however I do have the trany
tunnel off in order to make the final OD adjustments.    The adjustments have
been completed, thanks to the list and now I can button up the tunnel.

Is it pretty fair to say that the  fumes are most likely being sucked in to
the cockpit from the rear
tail pipe under the car and up through the trany opening?

I guess I am just looking for some affirmation from anyone that has been down
this route.

Mark -

If the fumes are slight, this is normal because wind will buffet from the
back of the car into the cockpit.

If you have alot of fumes, turn the car on (when it is cold) and run your
hand along the pipes (before they get hot!) and feel for gasses coming out.
 You may have a leak on the junction between the manifold and the downpipes
also...

Allen -

Never order direct from Moss.

Go through a Moss distributor that is an Austin Healey specialist.  They can
sort these questions out for you.  I highly recommend British Car
Specialists / David Nock for this.  Even the Nocks will get it wrong from
time to time, but they are correct 95% of the time.  Same price, less
shipping cost.

Make sure that the boot seal and all other seals and seams in the rear 
are tight and that there are no holes. Often fumes are sucked in from 
that area.

Yes, I'd say that was a fair presumption and it's one that you'll be
checking with the tunnel cover's replacement.

It sounds like you're test driving the car with the tunnel cover off. I
suppose we all do it but it isn't the safest thing to do in all the world.
Have a care!

Thanks tons to those  who chimed in on my exhaust question.   The tunnel is
going back on.

I also had the front end checked  while at the local shop just to satisfy my
own curiosity as to
how close I was able to get it set in the garage with the List suggestions.

The tech was able to get it set to about  -.02  on both sides.  I know this is
"toe out" rather than
"toe in "but they said it was really , really close to being set to zero.
The machine fluctuated so much that this was as close as they could get it to
the 1/16 " toe in".   I should also mention
that  the only adjustments that they made were done by turning the cross bar
back and forth.
The " cross rod ball joints" were never removed to make individual side to
side adjustments.

I was pretty happy at the time that they were able to get it so close however,
the steering wheel is now about 3 to 4 inches to the left of dead center where
I had it set. So this means that the
"slight friction point" of the Healey steering box is now set slightly to the
left of where it should be and not in the  center of the turning distance.

How critical is it to have the " friction spot" directly in the middle of the
steering movement?

Dear John,

 

On the fuel pump that has the fried chip, that is not uncommon, do yourself
a favor and send it to Dave Dubois to be rebuilt with optical guts that are
designed NOT TO GET FRIED.  He does a great job and even supplies a "burn
in" ( he runs the pumps for 24 hours after rebuild) QC Sheet with the pump
when he sends it out.  I know he takes the summer off beginning May 31st
until October, but you can contact him to see when you can have it done.
His website is below.

 

http://www.homepages.donobi.net/sufuelpumps/index.html

 

I have attached a document that explains what he does and also gives names
of people who he recommends.  

 

I have had  pumps rebuilt by Dave and they look brand new when he returns
them.  No financial interest, just appreciate excellent workmanship.

All -

On my Atlantic, the quarter light (vent window) latch is secured to the
frame with a special head 3BA screw.

The threads in the frame are stripped so the screw won't seat.

Anyone have any idea where I can get a 3BA helicoil kit?  or is there
another solution that might work?  The screw is very special, so I can't
really put another screw in there.  Is there a way I can use JB weld or some
other type of adhesive that repairs threads?

I do have a 3BA tap, but the hole is so shallow I don't think a tap will be
much help.

Alan,

Recoil makes "helicoil" BA inserts.  See if you can find a Recoil 
vendor.  Earls (in Indy) special ordered me a 2BA set a while back.  I 
can check on Tuesday to see if they could order a 3BA set.  Not cheap if 
I remember right.

I would try JB-weld first, but leave it to harden for at least a week 
before filing tapping it into shape. If it is not succesful it will be 
time for plan B (to be decided yet).

I believe (at least it used to be) that Moss will ship free if you
indicate you are an AHCA member, on a mail order. Also, isn't ED a Moss
distributor? He also has good prices on Moss parts.

Donlt know if you have actually solved your exhaust fume issue, I had a very
gassy smell for about a year. Thought it was fumes , thought it was normal.
Then I found out that the front choke was really, really frozen. Got it
loosened, no more fumes.

It sounds like you're test driving the car with the tunnel cover off. I

Have a care!

Hi Mark,

Are you certain that the "friction point" is not in the center? Can you
"feel" it?  Is it possible that the steering wheel is not centered on the
spline and that a previous owner moved it in the past? 

I'm having a hard time seeing how adjusting the alignment would change the
center spot of the steering.   Whether you turn the cross rod and move both
ball joints at the same time or adjust one ball joint, I don't think it
should affect the center alignment.

The center point is more dictated by the steering lever which only fits in
the correct positon. I can visualize how an incorrect (too short or too
long) tie rod would affect the centerpoint, but not the cross rod.

I'd be curious on other feedback on this issue.

Thanks tons to those  who chimed in on my exhaust question.   The tunnel is
going back on.

I also had the front end checked  while at the local shop just to satisfy my
own curiosity as to
how close I was able to get it set in the garage with the List suggestions.

The tech was able to get it set to about  -.02  on both sides.  I know this
is
"toe out" rather than
"toe in "but they said it was really , really close to being set to zero.
The machine fluctuated so much that this was as close as they could get it
to
the 1/16 " toe in".   I should also mention
that  the only adjustments that they made were done by turning the cross bar
back and forth.
The " cross rod ball joints" were never removed to make individual side to
side adjustments.

I was pretty happy at the time that they were able to get it so close
however,
the steering wheel is now about 3 to 4 inches to the left of dead center
where
I had it set. So this means that the
"slight friction point" of the Healey steering box is now set slightly to
the
left of where it should be and not in the  center of the turning distance.

How critical is it to have the " friction spot" directly in the middle of
the
steering movement?

Tie rod adjustments can affect/change the position of the friction point
relative to the peg.

To answer your specific - how critical is it ? - the answer is: it's
important.  The reason is because if the peg and friction spot are not close
or together when the car is in alignment  - and IF you then adjust freeplay of
the steering box to snug, then in turning the steering wheel in that direction
the snugness you have set will get even snugger as the peg approaches the
friction spot.

Let the discussion begin.

Dear John,

On the fuel pump that has the fried chip, that is not uncommon, do yourself  a
favor and send it to Dave Dubois to be rebuilt with optical guts that are
designed NOT TO GET FRIED.  He does a great job and even supplies a "burn in"
( he runs the pumps for 24 hours after rebuild) QC Sheet with the pump when he
sends it out.  I know he takes the summer off beginning May 31st until
October, but you can contact him to see when you can have it done.  His
website is below.

http://www.homepages.donobi.net/sufuelpumps/index.html

I have attached a document that explains what he does and also gives names of
people who he recommends.

I have had  pumps rebuilt by Dave and they look brand new when he returns
them.  No financial interest, just appreciate excellent workmanship.

Subject: [Healeys] Joseph Lucas, Now It Can Be Told
Message-ID: <AANLkTilCQwDkIvjzOJqBJsrwEgjud2LG76SmtW_8xWz4@mail.gmail.com>

Just finished a book titled The British Motor Industry 1896-1939:  A social
and Economic History. It had some interesting information on the history of
British car manufacturing. Unfortunately, the author says only good of
everyone mentioned in the book except a man named Harry J. Lawson who tried
to lease or buy the early patents in order to make others pay him a royalty
if they wanted to manufacture cars. Other than Lawson, there is no real
lowdown on who did what to whom.



Joseph Lucas started out as an oil merchant, and then began manufacturing
lamps to sell with his oil. Late in the 19th century bicycles became a
popular means of transport because of what the author calls the invention of
safety bicycles.  The penny farthing required some agility, and it was a
long way to fall when you had an accident.  These new bicycles were easy and
safe to ride. Lucas saw the market, and began manufacturing lamps for the
new bicycles. When autos came along he enlarged the lamp to fit automobiles.
It was only a stumble from there to electric bits and pieces.



Other interesting information:



Shell Oil was so named because the founders business was making novelties
out of shells he bought from returning sailors.



For years no license or training was necessary to drive a car. The
pedestrian toll was enormous. The author tells of one woman who bought an
automobile and drove away without any instructions. When she got to her
destination she didnt know how to turn the car around in one of those three
point reverses. She had to enlist the aid of several gentlemen who picked
the car up and pointed it in the right direction.



The fist driving schools divided instruction between driving and mechanics.
An early magazine article listed all the lubricant, tools, and spares needed
when making a trip. Sounds familiar.



When it was suggested that drivers licenses should be required, the British
public thought it an invasion of their rights. Same with speed limits.



Austin and Morris were described as geniuses when it came to producing large
quantities of cars. Austin secretly designed his Austin 7, and it became a
big seller. He was knighted for his efforts.



Early on, Morris knew the value of happy employees and developed  a pension
plan as well as medical benefits for his workers. There were bonuses for
ideas that made production more efficient. He also sacked anyone who made a
mistake.



It is interesting that as they grew older and richer both men grew
insufferably arrogant. Both men became anti labor, and when they took shop
management away from the stewards, their labor troubles began. There is
little resemblance between the men depicted in this early book, and the men
who were depicted in *The Decline and Fall of the British Car Industry*. *The
Decline *tells of one incident when Austin was told that a car was not ready
to be distributed. His answer was to send it out anyway and let the
customers find the problems.



A bit of a heavy read, but interesting enough to keep the pages turning.

I'm with Jaap.  I bought a set of 100M carbs from them for half the price of
the usual suspects here in the US.  The only problem was the length of time
from ordering to delivery.  I ordered them in April of 2009 and they were
not delivered until October of that year.  After a couple of months of
emails that only one of which was answered stating they were waiting on
their parts suppliers, I started to call them on Skype at least once a
month.  Always the same excuse, waiting for parts.  Then in the last month I
was told I was at the head of the line because I was waiting for so long.
More likely it was because I kept bugging them for a progress report so
often.  I don't know how many people were in line behind me.  I'm sure they
were just making a "run" of carbs for the usual suppliers like Moss and
Vicky Brit, etc. after taking care of the loudest complainers such as
myself.  Since my car is still at the body shop (same place it was when I
made the original order in 2009) the long wait was not a problem.  It was
definitely worth the wait for the price difference (only 548 pounds which
they have since raised while I was waiting).  Oh my gosh, they are beautiful
too.  Almost a shame to mess them up by mounting and using them.  Look like
they would look better on a stand in a museum somewhere.  I did compare them
to a set of original 100M carbs and one of the differences I find is a
spring loaded brass button on the float chamber top to push the float down.
Some kind of a choke device? The boss is there on the original carbs, but it
is not drilled through.

Fyi I did not have enough space between the floor and the frames whic0h have
fixed bolts thru the floors. So I cut slots in the dynamat and carpet for the
frame to fit with large washers for spreading the load on the floors.

Dear John,

On the fuel pump that has the fried chip, that is not uncommon, do
yourself  a
favor and send it to Dave Dubois to be rebuilt with optical guts
that are
designed NOT TO GET FRIED.  He does a great job and even supplies a
"burn in"
( he runs the pumps for 24 hours after rebuild) QC Sheet with the
pump when he
sends it out.  I know he takes the summer off beginning May 31st
until
October, but you can contact him to see when you can have it done.  His
website is below.

http://www.homepages.donobi.net/sufuelpumps/index.html

I
have attached a document that explains what he does and also gives names of
people who he recommends.

I have had  pumps rebuilt by Dave and they look
brand new when he returns
them.  No financial interest, just appreciate
excellent workmanship.

Message-ID: <4C02E12F.5070304@earthlink.net>

I'm exploring the removal of the wooden block that the battery butts 
against and that is attached to the inner right fender on my BJ8.

There are three large-bore holes in the block, apparently with the 
fasteners recessed within, but it is not clear to me how these work.  
Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Changing the toe-in will affect the location of the "tight spot". There is no
way to avoid this. Removing the tie rod ball joints won't change this. It
would have the same affect as turning the center rod. For example, as the
center rod is adjusted to increase the toe-in, the steering lever (on the
steering box) must rotate to the right. This in turn will of course cause the
steering wheel to turn to the right. If the tight spot is left of center & you
increase the toe-in the tight spot will move to the right or closer to center.

however,
he steering wheel is now about 3 to 4 inches to the left of dead center where

eft of where it should be and not in the  center of the turning distance.
How critical is it to have the " friction spot" directly in the middle of the
teering movement?

Hi Bob, there are three "T" nuts recessed into the block and then three long
1/4" UNF screws are installed from inside the fender well behind the wheel
which pass through the inner fender panel and into the "T" nuts in the wood
block.
The same system is used for the spare wheel blocks.

I shortened the tail pipe on my 100 and immediately found that I had a
problems with fumes getting into the car.
Try putting a temporary extension on the tail pipe(s) and see if the problem
goes away.
If you look at the original drawings of the 100 the tail pipe extends quite
some distance from the back of the car, more than looks correct, I'm pretty
sure that is why!!

I think what you have is a "steering wheel" that is out of alignment. Remove
the steering wheel from the shaft, turn it in the direction you want it, and
put it back on. The shaft is splined so you can put the wheel back on any way
you want it to line up. None of this has anything to do with the tight spot in
the steering box.

Scott-
This ought to occupy the list for the summer :-)

I think the reason there are two Healey clubs in the USA is (at least in part) because there are more talented and energetic Healey folk in the US than could be occupied in the care and service of just one club. 

Many people at various times over the past few decades have proposed unification. Once, at least, the matter got very close to completion -- but failed at what seemed to me to be the last minute. 

I am sure it will happen one day, but I hope it will be for reasons of unity and not because either club can no longer make it on its own.

Message-ID: <753870.59729.qm@web111404.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

  I am rebuilding two sets of H-6 carbs on 100-M manifolds.  I got these carbs
in 1970-71 from Russ Thompson here in Los Angeles.  I have finished bushing
the throttle shafts and started reassembly.  One set is obviously 100-M, both
bodies AUC 6040 X, 6047 with vacuum advance and 6035 without (front carb).
 They have the choke/throttle cam bosses on the right side.  (looking down the
throat toward the engine)  The other set are the oddballs.  Both bodies are
AUC 6040 X, but the choke/throttle cam bosses are on the left side of the
bodies.  Number are (hand scribed) 6041 with vacuum advance and 60??,( 47 or
44 ) with out.   It occurred to me these might be 100-S bodies as it seems
like they are meant for the right side of the engine like the "S".  These
carbs were pretty worn and have no arm extension for the throttle cam
adjustment screw.  They may have been through a few changes / mods before I
got them.  They came with legitimate 100-M
 manifolds so may be mix and match old racer parts.  They were fifteen years
old when I got them.  Anyone have any ideas?  Help me out here.RegardsRay

This is the case with many car clubs, or any clubs. Why are there 
christians, jews and muslims? Basicly the same religion with the same god.

It could be a carb off of a TR3.  I think the rear carb has a different
orientation than the AH version...

Scott,
 
Back in the early sixties the factory sponsored Austin Healey Club in  
England chartered  US chapters called "Centres". When you bought a new  Austin 
Healey a pamphlet was included offering membership in the club. (that  would 
be a great addition to John Sim's web site if anyone has a copy)
 
Bluegrass (Louisville), Midwest (Chicago), Pacific Centre (San Jose), and I 
 believe Capital Area and St. Louis were the original clubs. After the 
demise of  the factory club there was still a need for a National Club. MIdwest 
Club,  led by Chuck Anderson and  Walt Blanck, grew into the AHCA. Pacific 
Centre  covered the west coast and grew to become the AHCUSA.
 
It wasn't very scientific, these were just guys sitting around a kitchen  
table making plans.
 
Personally I have been a member of both clubs for over thirty years and I  
like two clubs, competition has made both clubs better.

Scott-

A good question.  There's also the Austin Healey Sports and Touring Club,
which operates primarily
in the PA/NJ and Long Island NY region.  I was a member of AHSTC in a prior
life, b/c that's where
the club action was when I lived on LI.  It may be that different clubs have
activities based in different
cities, but I haven't taken the time to check this out.

I'm a chiropractor, and we have two national organizations also, and in my
lovely home state of NY
we also have two state organizations.  After years of talks of unification,
neither the national or
the state folks can see through the weeds to combine efforts to actually try
to do something good for
the profession.  We've done a great job of circling the wagons and shooting
inwards, though.

I've been a member of the AHCA for 35 years, a delegate for some of those 
years, and a founder of the AHCA's Southern Ontario chapter.
I've seen these unification proposals come and go, and if I'm not mistaken, 
the last go around had the AHCA delegates discussing at length, basically 
agreeing it might be a good thing to unify, but the president at the time of 
the AHCUSA want no part of it, and that flattened it once more. I could be 
mistaken on those details but that's how it was handed down to me.

The two clubs have definitely different "flavours" though both have 
excellent magazines, even some of the editors have served for both magazines 
at different times. If anybody dare generalize as to differences in content, 
it's that the AHCA with all it's individual local chapters focuses more on 
the social aspect, and activities held in (and inviting others to) their 
respective areas. The AHCUSA is more of a magazine subscription based 
membership, and the content is often more technical based articles.

In the majority of the cases, memberships have been taken on in both clubs, 
simply because most folks want the strengths of each as outlined above.
Personally I think that if both can remain healthy as they are, by joining 
both we're getting the best of both. However, if they were to unify, I would 
NOT wish to see the AHCA type of chapter structure with delegate 
representation change or disappear.

I thought this might be a good time to offer an unsponsored plug for the
Austin Healey Sports and Touring Club.  My wife,Marge and I, along with my
daughter Megan and now a son-in-law and 2 grandkids have been members for
close to 30 years.  
  As Rich said each club has it own flavor and the "flavor" here are family
events.  The main event every year is Encounter which is held usually in PA.
but every 5 years in NJ.
It is a truly family event.  The best description is equating it to an annual
family reunion.  This years Encounter is at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, PA.
Take a look.  The web site for the club can be found
here:http://www.austin-healey-stc.org/Index.php
If you can make it I promise you won't be disappointed.

In the One Thing Leads to Another department:

While working in and around the fuel pump replacing the chassis harness, I felt a cool sensation on my wrist, much like the wind blowing through your hair on ride with the top down, which I'm NOT going to be doing for awhile because I now have a pinhole leak in the fuel line. 

Fortunately, the leak is in the hard line between the pump and the engine. 

While on the phone with Moss I decided to order the tank-to-pump line and replace them both but it's NA. 

Any suggestions on replacing the front line? It looks like I can easily remove the original intact and use it as a template.

The original line is held in with P-clips, not the "Clip - Pipe to Chassis" in the catalogue. I'm assuming it's simply a model difference and correct on my car.

Most importantly, what do we do if the tank-to-pump line fails? It's just as old and fragile.

It looks like for the second year in a row I'll be driving the Blazer to Brits by the Sea next week.

Message-ID: <AANLkTiklIyhlhfMmfRnLQ4wU68AYtMIaVifulV21xLxr@mail.gmail.com>

I, for one, don't want them to combine. I enjoy getting two magazines.

Interestingly enough there are two national MG organizations, but one is
strong, and the other seems to have no reason for existing other than the
reasons of the few who run it. Their magazine seems to consist mainly of
pictures of members cars.

As I indicated above, I'm glad we have two strong Healey organizations, with
two great magazines.

Alan,

Definitely NOT TR3 Carburetors.  TR3 Carburetors are marked AUC 6040AC these
are AUC 6040X.  Also the TR3 Carburetors have fast idle cam bosses on both
sides of each carb body.  If I can find my set of Jaguar XK carbs bodies
I'll check them.

Cheers,

Curt

List Memebers,

Gee I hope not

Unfortunately this topic has been discussed and debated ad nauseam over the
years, search the archives.

Enjoy the fact that we have two world class clubs and associated magazines
and lets get back to discussing the cars.

Cheers,

Mr. Finespanner makes excellent fuel and brake lines for Healeys. Unless he is without tools or time at the moment he should be able to provide you with pre-bent lines with all the fittings.  They will fit your car  

NFI. Just a happy customer.

While working in and around the fuel pump replacing the chassis harness, I felt a cool sensation on my wrist, much like the wind blowing through your hair on ride with the top down, which I'm NOT going to be doing for awhile because I now have a pinhole leak in the fuel line. 

Fortunately, the leak is in the hard line between the pump and the engine.

In regards to 3804, for those that archive such info, and this may have slipped by, there is a nice cover photo by John Christy on the May 1957 issue of Sports Cars Illustrated showing the red #31 sandwiched between a Cooper and a Ferrari. The photo being from the 1956 race, there is no futher info on Austin Healey or the 1957 Sebring race in the issue. The red #31 100S wears a narrow blue? stripe whithin a broader white racing stripe. The drivers helmet has a dark stripe and he appears to be wearing a sportcoat.

Why are there 2 kinds of football?  :)

For those who enjoy the first kind and know nothing of the 2nd, the World Cup is 
this year. The Netherlands is favored to win Group E.

John Sims,

Thank you for you wonderful site, healey6.com. I have been there many times
pursuing the site, but last week it came in handy with the replacement of the
"hood" for my BJ8. The info I gleaned was helpful and saved "us", I helped,
considerable time and trouble fitting the top. I used a guy, with 20 years in
the business, that had never done a Healey, and the hood turned out great.
Thanks to the information on your site, it saved me from saying, "No, No, No,
you're doing it all wrong."

Again, thanks for all your efforts in helping us Healey folks.

I believe my Healey is back firing due to a leak in the flex pipe that runs to
the muffler.  Does any one have a cure, other then replacing the pipe.
Replacement of the pipes is a tuff job since nothing ever lines up or fits
correctly. My body guy doesn't seem too happy about welding the leak, and I
don't feel real confident in letting my local muffler shop try the repair,
especially after watching them repair the exhaust on my Jeep.
