In addition to some of the suggestions already made you could have 
problems with the bell crank bearing. This as you know fits over a shaft 
that screws into the exhaust manifold and gets very hot. This should 
never be oiled because if you do the oil will congeal and will not run 
freely. Sometimes it will only stick when hot. The cure is simply to 
clean it and wash all the old crud out of the pores in the bell crank 
bearing and let it run loose and dry.

Bob -

Ok, here goes:

1) Does not close even when linkage is disconnected
2) only closes if some pressure is put on the shaft


This to me tells me your throttle plates are not correctly centered on the
throttle shaft, and thus is interfering with the free movement of the
throttle shaft itself.

You have to take the carbs off then make sure the throttle plates are nice
and flush with the throttle body before tightening the screws down.  You
have to back off the idle speed screw and loosen the plates, then adjust
until it's nice and flush.  Once centered, hold the carb up to the light to
make sure you have no gaps around the throttle plate to the throttle body.

It's actually a quick fix, but you have to take the carbs off and re -
balance afterwards.

Best Regards,

Alan

While I am sure that the question from the OP could have been answered  
by going to the archives, I took it upon myself to answer his question  
with my answer.  Maybe the archives work best for you, I prefer google.

Charlie, I am sure you could find your key code on the tumbler f the  
ignition switch or it will be on the heritage certificate if you have  
one and the locks are original.  Or I am sure you could look into the  
archives and it will tell you how to get it.  Best of luck.

Hi Mitch

I fitted the Dennis Welsh kit over a decade ago and have never regretted it:

http://www.bighealey.co.uk/category/catalogues/austin-healey/brakes

This includes calliper mounting brackets that allow you to retain the existing
suspension components. You also get  braided flexible hoses. Cape
International do a similar kit.

I didn't change the BN4 brake master cylinder as I found the pedal pressure no
greater with the disks. You may wish to consider changing to the later
non-servo integral reservoir master cylinder (less pedal effort but more pedal
travel) or fit a servo.

Another reason for fitting the later brake master cylinder is that the remote
fluid tank has greater capacity and if you do a substantial mileage, the pad
wear will result in the calliper pistons moving further out of the calliper,
hence lowering the fluid significantly in the original reservoir.

Sorry I can't comment on the quality of the current kits.

It has been an interesting thread, but a scary one. THE SWITCH MUST GO IN
THE POSITIVE LEAD. Any electrician or Radio Amateur with kit building
experience will tell you so.

First, the fact that they don't sell negative working switches should be a
clue. Second, if you look at the electrical code for your house, at least in
the US, you will find it is illegal to put the switch in the neutral, or
grounded lead. The switch must always be in the hot lead. I can't speak for
other countries, I know they do things differently in England, but I'm not
sure that extends to switching the neutral.

If you are adding a switch, it is easy to put an inline fuse in the circuit.
The holders are inexpensive and easy to crimp of solder. Soldering being
preferred.

One person in my club added a fuse block for bladed fuses to his Buy-Eye. I
had a mechanic to the same for me. I bought a block with LED indicators to
show when the fuse is blown. The LED is in parallel to the fuse so it only
works on non interrupted circuits.

If I sound too harsh, please accept my apology, but I would hate to have
anyone's beloved car burn up because of improper wiring.

Thanks, Rich!
It didn't leak, but it's sealed with black paint.  :)
What does one tap on it with?  A soft wood?  Rubber hammer?
Hmmm ... brake fluid.  Would brake fluid damage the brass?  It should remove
the paint in the crevices and possibly free up that spring, shouldn't it?
I'm using a new one for now, but would like to eventually fix this old one.

I can tell you from personal experience, that turning the panel lights off
is a real joy when you are driving in the dark in a very remote area....Top
down, no lights to distract you other than the stars or the northern lights
and a great view of an empty open road is fantastic fun...

Len, I agree, not sure when I would drive the car with the lights on and the

Jack -

Its ok.  No prob.  Actually all AUX items on my cars are on a relay
and fuse.  I am very safe.

Incidentally many items are typically ground switched, including
electric radiator fans and the SU Automatic Enrichement Device, for
example, so negative switching is fairly common.

Thanks all for you thoughts on this!

Cheers,

Alan

Ground switching is very common in modern cars and computer controlled
systems. One obvious application on many cars is the dome light. The switch
on the door jam is a single wire switch to the car body...provides the
"ground" for the lamp.

If the tire's really flat, you might not be able to get the jack underneath 
the car.  Carry a piece of 2x8 or 2x10 in the boot -- run the wheel with the 
flat tire up on it to get a little more room underneath the chassis for the 
jack.  (Carrying a piece of plywood to set the jack on, in case you're 
working on soft ground, is also helpful.)  BT, DT too!

Mitch,
I converted my 57' BN4 about 5 years back using the Dennis Welch kit.  The
only part that I would have like to have but was not included was the dust
plates and some instructions.  All quality components and I used the
original master cylinder which seems to be doing the job.  Also looks like
it has come down in price as well.

My Two Cents -
	Either method of switching is valid, and each has its
advantages. Putting the switch on the power side of the load (High side
switching) means that the hot lead is "hot" only when the switch is ON,
so that a short circuit to ground on this wire can lead to smoke only
when the switch is ON. In autos, this can also reduce the amount of wire
needed (weight and cost savings in manufacture) because the chassis can
be used as the return circuit.High side switching is required for
building electrical codes because it means that when the switch is OFF,
no voltage (with respect to ground) is present at the load (helps to
prevent fried electricians). If the switch were on the ground wire,
there would be full voltage present at the load (with respect to ground)
even with the switch OFF. This is more of a danger with voltages found
in buildings than it is in autos because the voltages involved are much
higher (120 volts or more). Yes, I know that you are supposed to remove
the fuse before working on the circuit, but it doesn't always happen).
	Putting the switch in the ground wire (Low side switching) can
have advantages in modern (negative ground) automobiles, where the
"switch" may actually be a Power MOSFET (Metal Oxide Field Effect
Transistor) that is controlled by some sort of sensor. For reasons of
efficiency and cost, the MOSFETs are usually N-Channel (as opposed to
P-Channel) because it is cheaper to manufacture N-Channel MOSFETs, and
they are more efficient.
	With negative ground, N-channel MOSFETs can be used with less
(electronic) circuitry in Low side switching configuration (They do not
require a "High Side Driver" chip, such as an LTC1155).
	My conclusion is that either switching mode is acceptable in a
Healey, just do a careful job and fuse the circuit.

My stupid question of the day.

I got to thinking, which usually doesn't help much, ... but, ... recently I
asked for other 100 owners to let me know what the distance should be between
the fan and the rad and/or the crank nut to rad on a 100.
The consensus is that the top distance should be 1".  Only one person gave the
bottom measurement, and that was at 2".  That's what got me thinking.  This
bounced around in my mind for awhile.  If my rad is vertical and the
measurements between rad and engine are the same top and bottom, why is his
different?  I was thinking that for this to be so, then the back of the
gearbox should be mounted higher.  So, then, I had a flash and thought that
perhaps one of our sets of lower brackets is the wrong way around. I expected
to find that my rad was vertical and that perhaps his was tilted back towards
the engine at the top.  When i had a moment, I grabbed a level ( and a camera
) and headed out to the garage.  To my surprise, I found that my rad is not
vertical, but instead is tilted "forward" at the top by about a 1/2 inch.
( my right hand side lower bracket taken from above )
http://www3.sympatico.ca/robertduquette/temp/LowerRadBracket.jpg

I just scoured the internet for a bit to see if I could find an image of an
installed lower rad bracket to see if mine were put on incorrectly.  ( Before
anyone jumps on me; I have not ever removed the bracket. )  This drawing on
Moss' site is the closest that I have
found.http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28859

Mine is in backwards, isn't it?

Robert

On both of my 100s the bracket is fitted the opposite way to those in 
your photo. This means that the radiator leans back; about 3/8" at the 
top bracket. This means that I have no real problem changing a fan belt.

The only thing I will add is that in both cases the radiators have been 
repaired at some time in their life so I cannot guarantee that the 
radiators were fitted this way originally.

Regards

See the attached photo (yes, I know it's stripped from the list) of this 
bracket on BN1L/221626, taken during dismantling.  Judging by the thickness 
of the dirt/grease layer on engine compartment and chassis, the car was 
never "molested" mechanically (unlike the body, which had pounds of filler 
in dented nose and tail and multiple coats of paint).

Install your radiator so the cooling fins are completely shredded by your fan,

Thanks!

That's 3 installed your way; and only mine installed the other, so far.

Message-ID: <SNT143-w5512D162360E5D1C8B51F9D4480@phx.gbl>

I would agree that the most likely cause is the butterfly's are probably not
centered and may have been tightened without the butterfly being shut fully.
Some other things to check are the return springs on the side of the carb
bodies.  Make sure there is enough tension to return the throttle.  Also check
that the connector between the two carbs is not holding one open slightly.  I
have taking a butterfly plate to a "wire wheel" to clean them up and have
found that it can deform the butterfly slightly on the edges and cause it to
not close fully.
If it is real close and you don't feel like taking them back off and feel that
they may seat themselves over time (as someone have stated), you could put on
some temp springs to pull them closed fully.

I can't help but become frustrated by someone posting a question and they get
the "check the archives" response.  Perhaps a better response would be to give
appropriate advice and then also mention that there maybe additional
information in the archives.  If everyone only checked the archives for
information they would be very little posts.  Although many subjects have been
covered over and over again, new people join the list and could give a new
spin/ new expertise on a old subject.  Also not to mention, sometimes I need
to see/ hear things over and over before it actually sinks in.

We understand that you didn't do it, but what about those largish. 
intelligent, mischevious Canadian rodents?  The steal nuts and bolts, move 
mousetraps, I wouldn't put it past em.

As far as the distance between the 100 rad and the fan, I never measured it 
in inches, but I can tell you it does add up to a number of skinned knuckes 
if you have ever tried to pull the fan with the radiator in situ.

Although you may find specifically how to do this in the archives,  
this is what I would do.  Take out the #1 plug and place a plastic  
stick or similar object that will be forced out with the compression  
stroke of the #1 cylinder.  Now, rotate the engine so that the stick  
begins to rise and observe the rotor on the distributor.  Make sure  
that the ignition timing pointer is approaching 0.  If 0 is not near  
by, then you are on the exhaust stroke and you need to rotate another  
180 degrees.

I am assuming that you want about 10 degrees advance at static.  When  
the marker is about 10 degrees before 0 on the crank, then you want  
the rotor tip (metal) to be facing directly on the #1 cylinder  
reference (look for a small crack/slit in the edge of the distributor  
- this is #1 mark).  If not at this position, then rotate the  
distributer to that point if you can.  If there is not enough  
adjustment, then you will have to lift the dizzy out until the gears  
are free and rotate the arm with the expectation that the helical  
gears will further rotate the rotor as it glides in.

You will want to make sure that after you set the dizzy with #1 and 10  
degrees static advance, that you are approximately in the middle of  
the adjustment so that you have a lot more freedom of adjusting when  
you are adjusting the timing after it is running.   Hopefully you will  
find your problem through this procedure.  Crank it up and check idle  
timing (don't know the spec here) and adjust as necessary.  When this  
is set, then check high speed (full advance) at about 4000 rpm.  If  
you do not achieve full advance (I think it is around 37) at 4000 rpm,  
then you should look at getting the dizzy rebuilt as this involves  
lubrications and replacement of low and high speed springs.

Just as a side item, make sure that you recognize within the  
specifications whether they are in terms of "crank" or "distributor"  
degrees since the dizzy rotates 2:1 with the crank.  Since you will be  
measuring at the crank with a timing light, this is what you should  
look for.  When distributors are set up on a dizzy machine, they work  
in terms of distributor degrees.

Your brackets are definitely backwards. The ears of the L brackets should

My stupid question of the day.

I got to thinking, which usually doesn't help much, ... but, ... recently I
asked for other 100 owners to let me know what the distance should be
between
the fan and the rad and/or the crank nut to rad on a 100.
The consensus is that the top distance should be 1".  Only one person gave
the
bottom measurement, and that was at 2".  That's what got me thinking.  This
bounced around in my mind for awhile.  If my rad is vertical and the
measurements between rad and engine are the same top and bottom, why is his
different?  I was thinking that for this to be so, then the back of the
gearbox should be mounted higher.  So, then, I had a flash and thought that
perhaps one of our sets of lower brackets is the wrong way around. I
expected
to find that my rad was vertical and that perhaps his was tilted back
towards
the engine at the top.  When i had a moment, I grabbed a level ( and a
camera
) and headed out to the garage.  To my surprise, I found that my rad is not
vertical, but instead is tilted "forward" at the top by about a 1/2 inch.
( my right hand side lower bracket taken from above )

I just scoured the internet for a bit to see if I could find an image of an

The score is:
Mouse - 1 ... mousetrap - 1.

It's currently a tie with no visible evidence of the game continuing.  ( traps
still set though. )

What first got me suspicious, was when I tried to remove the fan and there
wasn't enough room to.

Ira, et al.,

Shameless ad follows:

First, your car MUST BE NEGATIVE GROUND. (Easy enough to change except for
BJ8's.) I have LED's to replace the fascia lights so you can actually see
your instruments at night. The green flasher indicator becomes bright enough
that the third Healey back can see it! I also have LED replacements for the
1157 running lights in white, amber and red.
They are 10X brighter than tungsten for safety and will last your lifetime.
But, they are NOT Concours ;-)

Please contact me off List if interested.

Just because this thread seems to be waining;

At a very young age I was told
by my big brother, who knows everything, that in some European countries they
don't drive with the main beams on within the city limits.

If true, would it
explain the separate panel light switch?

Or should I have known better when
he followed it up by pointing at the top  button on my shirt and asking,
"What's this? Got'cha..."

In the early days it was quite common, especially in the UK, to see cars 
running town lights when it was dense fog, absolutely lethal!. In the 
rest of EU they mostly ran main dipped or additional fog lights and in 
town under good conditions sometimes town lights.
These days, if the conditions are such that you need to run lights 
(heavy rain, snow, fog, darkness) you have to use at least main dipped 
and/or fog lights. In some countries (e.g Scandinavian countries) you 
have to run driving lights at all times. These can be additional lights 
or main beam dipped. In all other EU countries this practice is 
recommended but many are against it as it makes motorbikes much less 
stand out in traffic.
The use of town lights only is now not allowed anymore.

I just had my BJ7 MKII emblem done by Pamela David Enamels in England.  It
took about 4 months but it came back absolutely perfect.  The fellow I spoke
with on the phone was a real joy to talk to.  Price was slightly less than a
reproduction which I've heard are terrible.  He doesn't do the later painted
ones however.  They have a really good web site.  Look them up.

Been there and used them for my BJ8
http://badgecraft.co.uk/

They use the correct Cloisonne technique.  Make sure the badge curvature
matches the shroud accurately before you send the badge away.  Any attempt
to 'adjust' the badge after restoration will fracture the inlaid glass.
Pack the badge carefully so that it doesn't get flattened in transit.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimMTTLJD5LMB6OYh2PE8UUb7kC3OSTtDH60orN+@mail.gmail.com>

I was stationed in France back in the middle 50's. The local villages didn't
have sidewalks so house walls masked the cross traffic. When coming to an
intersection it was impossible to see a car on the intersecting road.
Flashing the headlights illuminated the wall of the houses on the corner so
you could look at the side of the house and see if anyone was approaching
the intersection.

At the time I was there there was also a law in Paris about not blowing your
horn. Flashing lights took the place of horn blowing.

A friend's  Renault Dauphine had a switch on a lever on the steering column
to make this easy.

I purchased a repro front emblem from Austin Healey Spares in the UK and it
was of extremely close to NOS. The badge itself was curved to fit the contour
of the shroud and the enamel was perfect as it was actually done by the
original manufacturer - Coates.  I can supply a detailed image of it to anyone
who wishes to see quality.  It replaced a poor reproduction that had a plastic
inlay rather than glass..

I believe the one I bought was from AHS as well (not SC Parts as I wrote earlier).

It's been a while, but IIRC I got one which delaminated quickly.   They replaced it no charge.  It must be tricky to get 
the cloisonne to stick to a smooth, chromed surface.

Subject: [Healeys] BJ7 Arm rest
Message-ID: <000c01cb7a9f$61934020$6401a8c0@9535DEE118EC44B>

Frank,

Attaching the armrest to the tunnel carpet is a bit tricky.  Yes it is sewn in
place, but if you start in one place and just sew all around, you will sew a
twist into the armrest because the pile or nap of the carpet lays down as you
go, making  the armrest flange travel sideways, distorting  the shape.

The armrest itself is not what it seems.  The sides are not parallel, there
being a half inch taper, narrowing towards the back.  It is not as deep as is
often seen, the original Dunlopillo foam pad being only 3/4" thick, not the 1"
or 'way more which seems to be often seen these days.

The border strip of the armrest is folded over 3/8" at the bottom edge to make
a stitching flange.    I glue this flange first,  so as not to "fold as you
go", which can get awkward on the turns.   The armrest cover is stitched onto
the carpet unstuffed, as it needs to be squashed flat as you go 'round.    It
is best to stitch it to the carpet before the large carpet strip on the left
side is sewn to the main carpet, as there is a very thick seam created at the
joint, which interferes with the armrest's left edge, which comes quite close
to the bulky seam.

Mark the location with chalk (2.5" back from the ashtray).  Then temporarily
fix the cover to locate it properly on the chalk lines, using heavy duty
staples,  dots of  cyanoacrylate glue, or short sections of stitching to be
removed later.   Keep a watch out for what the pile is doing to the overall
shape.  Then stitch the armrest flange to the carpet  all around 1/8" from the
edge ( with your industrial walking foot machine- mine sews through plywood
).

The carpet is then carefully slit from the back, in the form of a lengthways
line with two "Y" slits on either end  (like the well-known "which line is
shorter" optical illusion), and the foam slab is inserted.  The slits are then
sewn shut by hand  fairly loosely with a heavy thread and curved needle.

That's how the original carpet was done.  And done very well, by girls who did
it all day long and got really good at it.  Hats off to the ladies.

Best regards
Peter

I would add that some times the information in the archives may have become

Message-ID: <AANLkTinOxqTVz64qUHWtDpXb-XQhnGzXZW8su7G_uA0A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I recently received a $1,500 order from AH Spares.  However this time I
received a second invoice from a Company named TNT Express charging me
$40.88 for US Customs related charges.

This is the first time I've been billed for customs on overseas orders.
Does anyone have any experience with this?  Did the dollar amount trigger
this charge?

Cheers,

Curt

They are looking for income anywhere because of the deficit.  Normally
they ignore this stuff but it sounds like they are now enforcing
duties.  What a joke.

TNT Express is the Dutch or Danish Post Office's version of Fed Ex, so
that's legit.

I love Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car. I enjoy every issue. Unfortunately,
the sometimes seem as accurate of the History Channel. If you have seen the
History Channel's  hour on the Austin Healey you know what I mean.

I was tempted to write them before when they had a suggestion for rewiring
lights with relays. The circuit made no sense.

In this issue there are two items that they seem to have no clue about. One
is in the picture of a Morgan dash showing all the insturments plus two
jacks and they claim they don't know what purpose the jacks serve. The
picture is on page 44 of the December issue. The jacks are  colored red and
black. I always thought those jacks on the older cars were a power take off
like the cigarette lighter jacks we use in modern cars. I also remember
seeing an ancient trouble light with plugs to fit jacks like that. Am I
correct?

The second is on page 88 where they identify the Sunbeam used in *To Catch A
Thief* as an Alpine. I remember a program on PBS the History Detectives in
which a man thought his Sunbeam *Talbot* was the car used in the movie.
After some searching they cam up with the actual production records which
listed the VIN of the car that was used. It wasn't his. Do I remember
correctly?

Yours for more accuracy in magazines.

The black and red jacks were in every MGTD, a pretty common car. I have an
old trouble light with a mating plug. The Sunbeam in To Catch a Thief was an
Alpine derived from the Talbot. Here is a site that discusses the confusion:

You are right about the power plugs. They were also used on Land Rovers. They
were used to power a trouble lamp and maybe for other accessories.
The Sunbeam sports model was the Alpine from about 1953 I think. Sunbeam and
Talbot were both acquired by the Rootes Group and the whole Sunbeam line was
badged as Sunbeam-Talbot at the time.

Actually I have had this problem when shipping items to Rich in Canada.
If you send via the usps there is no problem (usually) as a customs form
is filled out and attached to the package. If you ship via UPS, a third
party charges for taking the package through customs.  I once purchased
an NOS bonnet from England which was sent via post and I picked it up at
the post office. It wasn't packaged and just had the postage attached.
Didn't have a scratch and no customs fees!! TNT is not a government
agency, but just a third party company. Probably happened because AH
Spares shipped it other than by post.

Everyone's right: The issue you've just received of the Austin-Healey 
Magazine has the cover date of August-September, for the simple reason that it 
was the issue we published after the May-July issue. As noted, I've been 
running late this year due to conflicts with other responsibilities. However, I'm 
not sure I'll buy the entire blame this time. That issue went to the 
printer in mid-september. They claim that they took it to the post office on Sept. 
30, which by itself would be unacceptable -- we should be getting a one 
week turn-around. However, if that date is accurate, it's taken the post office 
four weeks to deliver them, which would be a new record. 
So, to fix these problems, we're getting a new editor who doesn't have as 
many conflicts, but is experienced -- as noted in the issue -- and the new 
editor is getting a new printer in the Denver area, which we hope should be 
better able to get better post office service and shorter shipping times.
I'll still be working on the magazine, as will Roger Moment, but Jeff will 
be the taskmaster re deadlines.
Current status: I'm now putting together the Oct-Nov issue, which I hope to 
have done next week, but if that follows the pattern of the prevoius issue, 
you may not see it until next year. We'll also be doing a year-end calendar 
issue as we've done in the past several years, but I think we'll have that 
one printed at the new printer. Who knows, it might beat the other issue. 

That's the best I can promise.
Sorry.

In May of '09, I got a bill from FedEx for $29.50 for customs/import fees
after I received a large order valued at a little over $1000 from AH Spares.
It probably was the dollar total for your order that caused the import fees.
Even if you had made smaller orders, you may have paid higher shipping fees
in total, but not an extra import charge.  I think you have to try find out
who handled the actual import of the parcel.  If you can't, then make
inquires why you got the invoice from that company.

You are right about the power plugs. They were also used on Land Rovers. 
They
were used to power a trouble lamp and maybe for other accessories.
The Sunbeam sports model was the Alpine from about 1953 I think. Sunbeam and
Talbot were both acquired by the Rootes Group and the whole Sunbeam line was
badged as Sunbeam-Talbot at the time.

I love Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car. I enjoy every issue. Unfortunately,

the sometimes seem as accurate of the History Channel. If you have seen the

History Channel's  hour on the Austin Healey you know what I mean.



I was tempted to write them before when they had a suggestion for rewiring

lights with relays. The circuit made no sense.



In this issue there are two items that they seem to have no clue about. One

is in the picture of a Morgan dash showing all the insturments plus two

jacks and they claim they don't know what purpose the jacks serve. The

picture is on page 44 of the December issue. The jacks are  colored red and

black. I always thought those jacks on the older cars were a power take off

like the cigarette lighter jacks we use in modern cars. I also remember

seeing an ancient trouble light with plugs to fit jacks like that. Am I

correct?



The second is on page 88 where they identify the Sunbeam used in *To Catch A

Thief* as an Alpine. I remember a program on PBS the History Detectives in

which a man thought his Sunbeam *Talbot* was the car used in the movie.

After some searching they cam up with the actual production records which

listed the VIN of the car that was used. It wasn't his. Do I remember

correctly?



Yours for more accuracy in magazines.

Hey Everyone,

As many of you know, I'm a computer person by day, car guy by night.
I've spent the last year working on a new web based system that I
believe has the possibility to vastly improve how we buy/sell parts
for our vintage cars online. I built it based on how I wished I was
able to buy and sell my car parts.

I'm sending out this message to contact the Vendors and the folks that
spend a lot of time selling their spare parts to see if they would be
interested in looking in to this application and providing to me a
critical opinion of the work.

If you're a Vendor or a spare parts seller and would be interested in
taking a look at what I've been developing I would greatly appreciate
the feedback. I'm *really* interested in getting this application
completed and available to all  in January of 2011.

Thanks and apologies for the "off-topic-ness" of the post.

Curt, et al.,

My initial analysis on this issue may be wrong.

I remember when I was living in the US and ordering from the UK, I
purposefully asked AH Spares/SC Parts/Cape to send stuff to me via Royal
Mail.  Also, whenever I send gifts from Asia (now that I live here) to the
US I always send it via Air Mail.

The reason was/is that I have found that if stuff goes via mail, it does not
get inspected by US Customs.    If you send anything to the US via a private
for profit carrier, like UPS, Fed Ex, DHL or TNT, they will ALWAYS run it
through US Customs.

I believe this is done because the USPS and US Customs are both Government
union shops, so this is bit of an internal protection racket, and a form of
non-financial government support for the USPS.

It is what it is.  If you want to avoid duties in the US, always insist on
your items to be sent via mail carrier.

The explanation for the import duties and charges is quite simple. Importing
goods from another country gives rise to a hell of a lot of paperwork, both
for fiscal and for statistical reasons, imposed by the importing country.The
company filling in the customs documents (very often called Customs Agents)
wants to be paid for this work. That's why you you receive a bill for both
import duties and for the work done. The import duties part of the amount is
passed on to the government by the Customs Agent.
For practical reasons there is a bottom limit, often based on the amount of
import duty payable: in such cases the costs of the paperwork are higher
than the amount of import duties, and therefore no charges are levied.
TNT Express, by the way, is one of the largest transporters of parcels
world-wide and is of Australian origin. They do operate, among other
countries, in Holland and in Denmark where TNT bought local parcel
operators.

Healeyers,
First I'd like to thank all of you that have responded to my searches for
parts for my BJ8.  I keep being delighted with the help from you friends on
the list and by the quality of original parts compared to new reproductions.
 I have one more part that I'd like to try to find an original in good
condition instead of buying new, and that's the steering wheel.  All of the
black plastic has disintegrated off of the steel rim on mine.  If anybody
has a nice original wheel (from the moss catalog, that's part # 853-790),
they'd be willing to part with, I'd be happy to buy it.
Cheers,
Rick

Hi folks.

I have a nice essentially new 1st gear for sale. It fits BN4 through BJ8 
transmissions. It was mistakenly ordered and fitted by my local shop, and is 
essentially brand new.

Contact me off list if interested.  I have photos.

I don't order from Victoria British anymore because the custom duties and 
processing fee charged by UPS (they won't send by USPost) have often been 
more than the price of the part.

By the way I am in Canada.

Rick -

This is one part where you are far better off getting a new repro from
Moss than buying new.  The repros are excellent reproductions, and the
plastic rim is likely far more durable than the old OEM rims which
have a tendency to rust at the rim and crack the plastic in the
process.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimW3jU8cXQmqUgrcHY=EzRNsC4vyk4eH1P0p_3H@mail.gmail.com>

I checked this with the folks on the MG and Healey lists.

1. On page 43 your author wonders what the red and black jacks are for. They
are power take-offs much like the way we use cigarette lighter sockets in
modern cars. They were on numerous cars back them, and folks on the list
confirmed that "trouble" lights had plugs to fit. One person wrote  "My Dad
used them for a little parking light that clipped onto the top of the
wind-down window, with a white lens to the front and a red to the rear."

The second item is a bit confusing. On page 88 You identify the car used in
the move* To Catch A Thief* as a Sunbeam Alpine. The PBS program "History
Detectives", had a letter from an owner of a Sunbeam Talbot asked if it was
the car in *To Catch a Thief*. . The Detectives traced down the VIN in the
movie production records  and it was not the gentleman's car. There was no
mention of confusion in the car's name.. Here is a link furnished by Marin
James that explains that confusion.  http://wmspear.com/bill/STA//.

I started my query to to the lists by saying I love your magazine, but
unfortunately this isn't the first time I questioned something in the
magazine. I may be more vocal in the future.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

Thanks for the responses. I copied the lists in my email to the editor. I am
always surprised that folks don't know more about their cars. Didn't the
owner of the Morgan ever wonder what they were for and query the Morgan
community? I think those trouble lights are listed as accessories in
manuals.

Anyway, thanks to the great people of the lists..

This is in part what he said.

"You're right, of course, about the red and black ports on the dashboard --
boy, have we gotten a lot of mail about that! The fault is mine, because I
knew what they were for, but didn't catch that sentence on the proof. We
owe thanks to all of the helpful readers who've taken the time to send us
photos of the trouble light and the windshield defroster that use those
ports."

He also was aware the the Sunbeam confusion.

Rick,

I have a Moss Repro steering wheel. It's very nice.

I also have a repro trafficator. It's nice too. I don't know if it was because
of the gage of the wire, the insulation or the mesh, but the wire bundle was
larger than the original and difficult for two of us to thread it down the
stator.

Which leads me to a question, what do I do with all the original parts? I have
a steering wheel, cracked at the "spokes" and rusty, original voltage
regulator, leaky gas tank, a trafficator, partially melted wiring harness, and
....

At what point does a part coming off the car go into the trash?

My Wife wants to know.

We pick it up tomorrow.
Next, we pull the tranny, and upgrade to a BJ8 clutch ( to take the pressure

Then the fun really begins. reassembly and restarting the beast!!!

Thanks for the information.

All is back together and test run.  It was quite a valuable learning
experience having to R and R the full tricarb setup.  And no extra parts when
done!  In the process I uncovered a couple of nasty problems.  The lower nut
on all three inlet manifolds was missing and a slipped  gasket partially
covered the intake for the forward and center carbs.  Runs much stronger now,
but I still haven't gotten the carb adjustment quite right.  I'm sure that
will come fwith experience, but any hints in the mean time?

Never let them go near the spare parts bin or let them know that it exists.
Have all new parts shipped to a friend for pickup when she does the grocery
shopping. Learn to be sneaky.

Common problem. All those wives are exactly the same. We should do something

sorry guys,
as I stated before, I have the best wife in the world.
She has even given me space in her office closest to store the boxes of
parts for my rebuild....
I keep reminding her I married well :)

I mounted my old steering wheel on a wall in the garage.  It adds to the feel of the cars and the era.

Rick,

I have a Moss Repro steering wheel. It's very nice.

I also have a repro trafficator. It's nice too. I don't know if it was because
of the gage of the wire, the insulation or the mesh, but the wire bundle was
larger than the original and difficult for two of us to thread it down the
stator.

Which leads me to a question, what do I do with all the original parts? I have
a steering wheel, cracked at the "spokes" and rusty, original voltage
regulator, leaky gas tank, a trafficator, partially melted wiring harness, and
....

At what point does a part coming off the car go into the trash?

My Wife wants to know.

Really sneaky......  If self-employed, overpay your payroll taxes then apply
for a refund.  A great source for spare parts money.

fears was when he died his wife would sell his stuff for what he told her he
paid for it.

Some ideas:

-Sell part that have even the slightest chance of restoration on ebay or craigslist.  Give the listers a first chance for good Healey Karma.  The wife will appreciate the reduction of clutter and you can tell you bought that new shiny part with the money you made on the old stuff.  Works well for me!  For instance I am looking for a fuel tank sender for parts.  If your leaky fuel tank still has the sender I'll make you an offer.

-Use parts to decorate you garage shop or dedicate a small part of a shelf to store bend valves, burnt pistons, broken rotors to appease the Healey gods.  These are also usually good conversation starters if you put those on your desk at work. (not the gas tank though!)

-Have new parts delivered to your work address.  My wife still catches me when I try to sneak them in the garage but she's OK with it.  Of course I tell her I bought it with proceeds from selling parts on feebay and she just smiles.

So does this mean that there was nothing wrong with your carbs after  
all?  How did the gaskets slip over the port?  I thought that this was  
held in place by the intake studs, no?

Message-ID: <82723312-9B99-4150-97EE-3968C90D3C54@gmail.com>

I'm finally getting back to working on my late tri-carn BN7. A two (I'm the
2nd) owner, very original, never apart car with original interior.

The panels, vinyl, armacord  are very good. The drivers seat back is in tough
shape. a couple of tears.

I love the original interior leather patina and have been working on getting
it back in shape and succeeding. But the drivers seat needs help.

Is there anyone out there who may have replaced an original red BN7./BT7 seat
back and still has a decent leather seat cover that they'd be willing to part
with for a fair price? Center panels not needed.

Just trying to keep very original.  Thanks.

years ago when i sent my laygear to AH Spares, i failed to demand that they send it back by mail.  it was shipped via an air carrier and ended up in san diego(i lived in vancouver, washington at the time) and i was forced to ransom my part by paying the extra shipping from san diego.  i was able to talk them out of the 40 something dollars of customs duty by declaring upon pain of imprisonment that it was my gear and not a new one.  it took about 40 dollars worth of phone calls to straighten out that mess and i swore never to do that again.  however, i recently ordered some whitworth wrenches from england without any problems, so maybe i will try it again sometime.  hjim

I have gone from being really bad about not throwing things away to just 
bad, I fnally decided that I would never refit used brake bads and old brake 
hoses I had replaced and I could just pitch them.  On the other hand you 
never know what might come in handy, I saved my old pistons from the 100 
engine rebuild and lo and behold a year or so ago someone on the list was

The carbs still were in pretty rough shape, but probably not as bad as it
appeared.  The gaskets that slipped were the ones on the reverse side of the
heat shield.  The holes in them were very elongated.  They were over the
studs.  One would think that if the joint was tight...  I know it sounds
impossible but it happened.  If interested I have a couple of pics that I took
prior to removal of the heat shield that I can forward off list.

How did the gaskets slip over the port?  I thought that this was held in place
by the intake studs, no?

Speaking of not throwing anything away, I have the rear resonators from a BJ8 ANSA exhaust system (chrome tips) sitting in my garage wondering if I'll send them away for repair or toss them.  

If anyone has one of the rare BJ8 ANSA systems and need resonators, I'll be happy to ship them to you for the shipping charge.  They WILL need to be professionally repaired before use.

There is a person out there who repairs them except that I have forgotten who it is.

Thanks to Curt and Alan for the advice about the new repro vs used steering
wheel.  I'll proceed in that direction.

I have an assortment of grills and steering wheels on the wall from  
cars past,  they are my "Trophy Heads"  rather than hanging bambi up

Hi Jose,

DuraMat (or the equivilant) is a great material....for both heat and sound.
However, it is a semi-permanent installation (and expensive.

I put it on the inside of the floor pans and firewall but on both sides of
the transmission tunnel.

Hey Jim,

I had the same problem a while back and it was the OD switch, which was new!
The next new switch still works fine.

I will say that the articles by Roger Moment are worth the wait. Have a

Consider triple double barrel side drafts like DellOrto's or Webers.
They look nice and are easy to service and relatively trouble free.

Peter,

The Atlanta Chapter of the AHCA is hosting an event in late October, 2011.  It is a Regional Event with national participants attending from as far as Texas and Canada in the past. This event is called SE Classic and 2011 will be the 25th anniversary.

The location is Lake Guntersville State Park in NE Alabama. We expect 100+ registrations/Healeys there. This site is fantastic, especially during leaf season.  We will be featuring a Rallye, a popular Car Show, Arts and Crafts, a Gymkhana and Funkhana.

Check your Healey magazines for info soon!

See you there?

RE:  Webbers

Yes, they look nice;
Yes, you getter better acceleration (due to accelerator jet design versus
variable choke);
Yes, they are better for fine tuning;
Yes, they breath better at higher RPM and you get better inertia ramming
effect;
Yes, they are trouble free when finally tuned;
Yes, they are fine on fuel consumption when driven passively....they are
pigs when driven hard;
Yes, they are very difficult, time consuming and expensive (due to variety
of jets required) to tune the first time.

Webbers are great once they are tuned.....however, they are MUCH harder to
tune than SU's or Stombergs,  Especially if your engine is modified.

I run Webbers and would recommend that they only be used if the engine is
significantly modified to take advantage of their benefits and if one uses
their car in that manner (acceleration and high rpm).

For the average person, I believe that SU's are a better compromise.

Consider triple double barrel side drafts like DellOrto's or Webers.
They look nice and are easy to service and relatively trouble free.

I presume the jetting and ventury size is known for standard engines. 
For modified engines setting up is a bit more involved but that goes for 
SU's and Strombergs as well as you have to sort out the right jets, 
needles and springs.
There are excellent books for both carbs for modified engines.
The tuning itself (balancing, mixture) is easy enough on side drafts and 
is in my experience easier than with SU's or Strombergs.
Once properly set up and tuned, there is hardly any further maintainance 
and you cannot say that for SU's and Strombergs.
As Ira mentioned, there may be a clearance issue on LHD cars. May be a 
good opportunity to look into the possibility of a split/compressible 
steering column

wow that just adds to the bottom line of a cost over run project
already.....

I'm happy to go with the BJ8 set up on my BT7.
I t's 40 over with a mild race cam, balanced with a lightened flywheel. I do
not race, and I do not run it to the limit anymore, like I did when I was a
kid. I just wanted a bit more HP to play with.

Message-ID: <963132.84529.qm@web81804.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

I could not find anything in the archives about the caliper bolts used to keep the two halves of the calipers together.

Are these standard bolts, grade 8 or a special thread pitch?

I would presume they are 24 or 28 TPI but I have not taken the calipers apart yet.

Any information on this would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,
John

We hold a slalom at our ABFM in Portland.
Set up some cones and some stop watches.

How about events to entertain the future 50 crowd. Set up some computers for
a LAN party computer gaming contest.

My wife is no into scrap booking, shopping or teas. Maybe a book club, or
 museum visit...

Message-ID: <059d01cb7c58$1222d4f0$36687ed0$@net>

I took my BJ8 out for a test drive the other day, and the overdrive worked
just fine. When I got back, and opened the hood, I noticed that I had not
replaced the actuation rod between the throttle linkage and the overdrive
throttle switch. Then I got to thinking. I have a Jaguar MK11 sedan and a
couple of MGB,s with basically the same OD. Neither make has a overdrive
throttle switch and they seem to work just fine. I don't know about TR,s or
Volvo,s that also used the same basic OD. Why does the Healey use this
switch?

If not absolutely necessary do not take the halves apart. However if you 
must, your main worry is the proper O-rings to seal them when you 
reassemble the callipers. There is no need to replace the bolts with new 
ones when they are undamaged. Use Locktite when you fit them.

Thank you Kees,
I had heard that the bolts stretch but I have never taken the calipers apart. Because I am restoring the car I figured after 48 years it would be a good idea to replace the seals. I have the seals and was surprised by how tiny the are!

Best regards,

If they are not corroded in the joint and not weeping, leave well alone.

For What It  is Worth... In the New England Region we have good success with 
an occasional "Progressive Dinner"....start at someone's home for coffee and 
danish, move on to another home for lunch or maybe soup (depending upon 
start time), another for salad and end up somewhere for the main course like 
a steak or chicken BBQ. Try to plan a scenic route. Also trips to some place 
such as interesting business for a tour. Doesn't always have to be car 
oriented to be interesting and the fairer sex enjoy seeing something besides 
another garage!!! We do gymkhanas about once a year and also uphill slaloms 
(insurance way around hill climb) . Just some thoughts from the east coast.

Cable replacement setups for our Rube Goldberg throttle linkage bypass the

The workshop manual describes it nicely. The throttle switch (when set
correctly) requires the driver not only to turn the o/d switch off, but also
to increase the revs to be able to drop the overdrive unit out of
engagement. This increase in engine speed meets the downshift out of
overdrive smoothly instead of shocking the entire drive line as it drops
back to normal.
Early MGB's used a vacuum switch for the same purpose.

I took my BJ8 out for a test drive the other day, and the overdrive worked
just fine. When I got back, and opened the hood, I noticed that I had not
replaced the actuation rod between the throttle linkage and the overdrive
throttle switch. Then I got to thinking. I have a Jaguar MK11 sedan and a
couple of MGB,s with basically the same OD. Neither make has a overdrive
throttle switch and they seem to work just fine. I don't know about TR,s or
Volvo,s that also used the same basic OD. Why does the Healey use this
switch?

Gravity drags. Popular at hot rod gatherings.
You need a small hill and a run off area. Cars are powered by only gravity.
(It's not only the law, it is not subject to repeal anytime soon) you must
have a driver.  Other than that there are no rules. Longest coast wins.
Much fun as people try to make their coast further.  (what works better driver
only or 10 guys piled in the car?)

As one who just joined the club(s) and has a meager collection of AH mags, is
there / are there / can I get all the technical articles as reprints or
something? The collection in AH Magazine HAS GOT TO BE the most extensive and

Kees, I'm not sure what you mean by "kickdown", but is sound like something
to disengage the overdrive when you want to accelerate quickly, as in
passing a car.  That isn't what the throttle switch in a Healey is for at
all.
 
The throttle switch maintains power to the overdrive solenoid, even if the
dash switch is turned off, until there is positive pressure on the gas
pedal.  This keeps the overdrive from sensing negative torque from being
driven by the rear wheels, instead of the engine.

Rich,  What about the later MGB  boxes with the LH overdrive.   To your 
knowledge were the gears a different type and more durable cause I know 
those didn't use any type of throttle switch when changing  out of OD?  I've 
always been very curious about that since I've owned my Healey.

 And the real beauty with the LH was that you didn't have to adjust the 
frigin solenoid
to make it work ,,,,,,sometimes.

What about the following year? 2012 is the 60th anniversary of the 
Healey. The previous three Snowmass, Breckenridge and Tahoe were 
fantastic! For a Meet of that size, I would think it would already have 
to be in the planning stages. Is the date and location Healeydom's 
best-kept secret?

The 2012 Conclave will be hosted by the Bluegrass A-H Club in Louisville,
KY.   As far as I know, dates are not set yet.  Snowmass, Breckenridge, and
Tahoe were international meets.  I don't know if that will be the case in
2012.

fantastic! For a Meet of that size, I would think it would already have
to be in the planning stages. Is the date and location Healeydom's
best-kept secret?

The 2012 AHUSA Rendezvous will be hosted by the Austin Healey Owners  
Association of British Columbia.  As of this summer, the location had  
not been determined.

I'm not sure if the overdrive throttle switch was for preservation of the
overdrive or for a more comfortable drive.

When I rebuilt my overdrive, I put an oversized competition accumulator
piston for a faster more positive shift and removed the throttle switch for
more control......works well in competition. However, it does give a very
"jerky" shift.

To alleviate the "jerky" feeling, I sometimes depress the clutch when
shifting up or down (with a throttle blip).

Works cars did not have the throttle switch.

Rich,  What about the later MGB  boxes with the LH overdrive.   To your 
knowledge were the gears a different type and more durable cause I know 
those didn't use any type of throttle switch when changing  out of OD?  I've

always been very curious about that since I've owned my Healey.

 And the real beauty with the LH was that you didn't have to adjust the 
frigin solenoid
to make it work ,,,,,,sometimes.

Message-ID: <a489d.10b79c55.3a051576@aol.com>

The Bluegrass Club has hosted Springthing for  almost 20 years now. We get 
about 65 registrations. When we started we did the  traditional car 
show/rally/autocross format for the weekend but then that got  stale and people were 
losing interest. The cars bring the people together but it  is the people, 
not the cars, that make an event a  success.
 
So then we evolved into a Tour format. This  years event was held in 
Central Kentucky. People come in on Thursday ( we had 11  states represented this 
year) and we have a hospitality room. Friday we offered  a tour of a 
cooperage and historic Makers Mark Distillery with a  dinner at the distillery. 
Friday night was hospitality at the hotel and a  funkhana that was only for fun 
and as a party game. People set up chairs in the  parking lot and the beer 
and Maker's flowed.
 
Saturday we check out of the Hotel and  moved about sixty miles east to 
Berea Kentucky, a town known for the art college  and the quality craft shops. 
Along the way you had your choice of touring a  Civil War Battlefield, a 
restored Shaker Village and other options. You get up  when you want to, leave 
and choose your itinerary. Saturday night we offered  several dinner options 
then regroup at the hotel for awards, auction and  hospitality.
 
We have awards for Funkhana. Our car  show is not defined. Registrants get 
a car magnet with a number upon arrival.  Ballots must be turned in by 5 PM 
Saturday. Most people will vote on Friday  night when the cars are at the 
hotel. We give first time attendees  a welcome gift like a hat and award 
special awards like long distance, hard  luck and a few fun ones.
 
What we strive for is to make it a  vacation weekend with the Healey 
people. We try to keep the price low and offer  relaxation and entertainment, the 
car stuff takes care of  itself.
 
Next year will be in Bowling Green  Kentucky and include a banquet and tour 
of the Corvette Museum, shopping for the  ladies and beer for the guys.

I think we have another phishing effort. The domain is similar to an email I received in my personal account. ... .fatcow.com/

Chasing ahovzednanreh.fatcow.com leads to an underconstruction page.

I did not hit the link. I suggest you don't either.

Newbie Here!!!!

Ok, I paid my $100 and spent a weekend driving around Mid-Ohio Raceway when I
owned a '79 BMW 528 and that's my track experience.

Overdrive in competition!?!? Something I never though of or about.

It sounds hard on an OD and makes me think I baby mine a bit much, which I
will continue to do because I don't want to rebuild my OD, ever, something
racing owners do all the time.

Could you talk about it a bit more? How is it used on the track? When/How do
you shift in/out of OD? What's the though about cornering with the OD,
in/out/depends?

As one who just joined the club(s) and has a meager collection of AH mags, is
there / are there / can I get all the technical articles as reprints or
something? The collection in AH Magazine HAS GOT TO BE the most extensive and
detailed restoration guide available. Are there plans to publish a book? It
would be a great fund raiser.

Many of the previous articles are published on the healey.org website. In
addition, you can order from British Car Specialists  a copy of all the
articles that Norman Nock contributed to the magazine. Hope that helps.

Alan, The AHCA is looking at putting an index to past articles and the pdf
copies of the issue they appear in. The delegates meeting in November will
determine how we will post it on the web site, ie open to all or create a
members page for it. Currently I have indexed most issues from 1982 to 1966
including the technical articles and also events, personalities etc. Once we
decide our webmaster will set up the page and i will get to work completing
the index.

	It looks like the tradition of the International meets that we have  
had for the last 20+ years is going to come to an end. There is no  
International Healey meet planned for the US. There is going to be  
the samo samo that happens every year. AHCA's Conclave in Louisville,  
and AHC USA's Healey Rendezvous in British Columbia.

	The tradition that was started back in about  1980 with the planning  
of the first International meet in Snowmass Colorado 82. Followed by  
the International meets in Breckenridge Colorado 92 and Park City  
Utah 97. Then the last one the 50th anniversary in Lake Tahoe in 2002.

Steve,
What I mean is that if you drive in OD, the OD is switched of/disengaged 
if you put your foot down to accelerate e.g. when overtaking, 
effectively dropping a cog. When regaining the original speed the OD is 
switched on again.
At least that is the way it worked on the AH of a former colleague of mine.

FYI, In 2007, the conclave in Vermont was also billed as an "International
Conclave"

It did draw over 400 registrants but little mention of an
international event 
was evident.

Sorry...
If no kick down linkage just use switch to move in and out if overdrive.
Racers put switch on shifter so they can flick it on/off

I still laugh about this event the NTAHC had back in April 1980.  It a
regular autocross but as a added event we had a blindfolded (paper sack)
event.  The driver wore the paper sack and navagator gave directions.  I
think Jerry would have ended up in Oklahoma if he had not been stopped.

When Racers are decellerating (car pushing tranny pusing engine) do they flick
the OD off with the clutch in or out?

Likewise on the Left Coast. It was almost always a staple at both the 
West Coast Meets and our Austin-Healey Association Meets. Then at the 
1980 Meet in Mt. Shasta a wanabe racer took a hard right at his 
navigator's command. He went up over the curb and hit a spectator 
photographer. The photographer landed on and broke the windscreen, 
bounced over the back of the Healey and wound up on the tarmac behind 
it. It was a lawsuit waiting to happen, which fortunately did not. At 
that point, the event was forever banned, rightly so. We also had 
Healeys damaged running into things. But it WAS a lot of fun!

Gravity drags. Popular at hot rod gatherings.
You need a small hill and a run off area. Cars are powered by only gravity.
(It's not only the law, it is not subject to repeal anytime soon) you must
have a driver.  Other than that there are no rules. Longest coast wins.
Much fun as people try to make their coast further.  (what works better

Drifting/"tuner" events include models jello wrestling and wet t shirt
contests

NASCAR at many tracks is BYOB

Monster Trucks and Drag Racing need nothing else to be a spectacle.

I've enjoyed all the notes from my last parts search.  I for one am
delighted that many of you have kept the old parts and been willing to
give/sell them to me.  I'm doing the same with my BJ8 parts that I don't use
for the restoration.  On the wife front, I keep telling her every month or
two how much I'm spending on the restoration and she just says "I'm glad
you're having fun".  I certainly am blessed.

Well, David, that seems to have spread across The Pond as well. I spoke 
with Derrick Ross this morning and he said that 2012 will be a regular 
annual Meet, nothing like the spectacular show put on at Wolkfield Park 
in 2002. All their efforts at the moment are coordinating the events for 
next year. 2011 is the 50th anniversary of their Club, the Mother Club. 
After that, they'll be focusing on the 2013 International Meet which 
occurs every four years. In the past it has been in Luxembourg and the 
Swiss Alps. 2013 will take it to Ireland. With three years to save and 
if I am physically capable by then, I'm going to try to make that one. 
If anyone else is interested, please contact me off List.

I think you will find that Derrick overlooked that 2011 is in fact an
'International' meet here in the UK. See the the site at

Following the 2011 events talk, here's an idea.  I'd like to invite you and
members of your local clubs to drive down to New Orleans next March for the
21st Annual British Car Day put on by the British Motor Club of New Orleans.
 The show is on Saturday, March 19, and the weather is normally glorious
down here in the south that time of year.  New Orleans is open for business,
and the French Quarter is back to normal after Hurricane Katrina.  Plan a
vacation to the Big Easy and stay for the show, we'd love to have a giant
group of Healeys to feature in 2011 and then for the 60th anniversary in
2012.  We have a host hotel arranged just a few miles from the show site at
the City Park campus of Delgado Community College and the French Quarter for
just $99 per night.  We we host a welcome reception there on Friday night
with plenty of fabulous New Orleans food.  I have a show flyer I can send
you to share with your club members and web sites, and we'll post more
information and a registration form on our club web site, bmcno.org very
soon.  Call me (225-926-6946) or email me for more information in the mean
time.
Cheers,
Rick Huber

Sounds great---but---in mid March, those of us up in "whiteville" are still looking for a few more snows arouind that time, so the roads leading south could very well be slippery and salt covered.

It's a C45PV6 (1960) generator - 22530A.  The brushes that fit it are 
about 1/4" thick and 1" tall.  The armature shaft is 5/8" diameter.

Well, as with all the other Brit cars that had occasional issues,
modern bits have fixed the oil leaks and such. They're nowhere near as
common as the other cars of the era (mainly because they only made
~9,000 of them). I have a pair of them and love them. I get a lot of
positive comments.

Monetarily they haven't appreciated much. A nice stock car garners
~8,000 usd. A nicely tuned one (2.2 liter upgrades) can get as much as
$15,000.

I have not owned one, but have shopped them a bit and driven a few, as Jody 
said one of the best deals out there for vintage british cars, by the 
numbers (acceleration, etc.)  they will beat a big healey, which of course 
they should having about 20 years of additional engineering progression in 
there design.

The car has a nice roomy  cockpit and good handling, as well as the lotus 
twin cam motor.

Lotus said the motor was not ready for production and would not guarantee 
them, and indeed they were not ready, so some of the teething problems are 
part of the reason the cars got a bad reputation from the get go and did not 
do as well as hoped commercially ans lost Jensen money/

Some criticize the looks, always a matter of taste, but I think it is a 
handsome design not timelessly beautiful like a big Healey, but handsome and 
straightforward with clean lines and a nice low sporting beltline.

Cettainly not a POS IMHO.

P.S. latest episode of Top Gear they drive a JH, 2nd generation FWD Lotus 
Elan and a TVR.

They talk quite fondly of the cars when done, and end with some shots of 
verious traditional british sports cars (MGs Jags, Big Healeys), and say 
some quite nice things about the breed in general.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimedtAhRA94GrOBjnZV+Mh254F1TmHq5ho_QW=p@mail.gmail.com>

I know there was some info on the steps to pull the tranny a while ago, I
did an archive search, but only found  the question, not the answer.

I also checked out John's wonderful site, but no joy.

Please provide a link or the steps, as we are going to upgrade to BJ8 clutch
form the BT7 on my car next weekend. I have access to a machine shop to work
on my BT7 lightened flywheel.

They are looking for income anywhere because of the deficit.  Normally
they ignore this stuff but it sounds like they are now enforcing
duties.  What a joke.

TNT Express is the Dutch or Danish Post Office's version of Fed Ex, so
that's legit.

You could take an old belt, wrap it around the pulley and clamp it tightly in
a vise.

Everybody must   be cleaning out their garages at the same time!

 

I've got to make room for a new project coming in...selling off lots of
parts including some hard to find (rear parcel shelf).

 

Parts include.full motor, transmission/overdrive, radiator, front seats,
rear seats, parcel shelf, seatbelts etc etc.

 

Motor and transmission in good running order.  Both have 65,000 miles on
them.   Compression on motor is about 145-150 across each cylinder and was
last run 18 months ago.  Stored properly since then.

 

Pictures of items at
www.picasaweb.google.com/justfuelnaround/HealeyPartsForSale#

 

I put together an excel spreadsheet with pricing and listing of items..don't
know if my pricing is reasonable or not.  I basically looked at what items
were selling for on ebay and Craigs list and discounted somewhat...I'm open
to suggestions.

 

All parts located in Vancouver, BC.

Preference given to parties ordering more parts and those arranging shipping
or picking up.

 

Feel free to contact me off line for pricing and details.

 

Thanks

Robert, 

You should be able to see a square surface on the back side of the pulley.
It requires a very slim wrench to reach in there and hold the square while
the hex nut is removed. On the other hand, an air impact wrench should be
able to shock/loosen the nut anyway. Another option is to hold the pulley
with a chain type vise grips in the groove of the pulley and again loosen
the nut with an air impact gun.

Frank, 

This upper tower portion of the gearbox cover is trimmed in the matching
vinyl of the interior. The vinyl needs to extend well down under where the
carpet covers. This picture shows original trimming details.

Totally agree with the belt. But the real part of the trick is using an 
air wrench and socket.

This is when an impact wrench either air or electric is worth its weight in
gold.
If you don't own one and need an excuse this is the perfect one.

I would suggest using an impact gun. Much less likely to damage anything.

Ira,

I have a BJ7, so there may be some minor differences, but this is what I
did.  Note that it has been a while since I did this so I may have left out
some details.

0.  Disconnect the battery.

1.  The gearbox comes out through the interior of the car so you will want
to remove as much of that as possible.  In particular, you will need to
remove the seats, carpet, and parcel shelf.

2.  Unhook the hand brake cable from the bell crank on the rear axel.

3.  Remove the shift knob and the shift boot.

4.  Remove the gearbox cover.

5.  Disconnect the drive shaft marking the alignment of the flanges.

6.  Disconnect the rear mounts from the gearbox.

7.  Remove the starter.

8.  Disconnect the clutch slave cylinder.

9.  Support the rear of the engine and the gearbox with separate jacks.

10. Remove the bolts which hold the bell housing to the rear plate.  Note
the positions of the two "dowel bolts".  These are important for aligning
the gearbox with the engine.

11. Raise the rear of the engine and the gearbox enough so that you can
slide the rear of the gearbox into the drive shaft tunnel.

12. Once you have pulled the gearbox far enough back so that the first
motion shaft is clear, angle it toward the passenger's foot well and pull it
forward.  Once the rear of the gearbox is clear, you will be able to turn it
sideways and remove it from the car.

HTH,
Peter Schauss

My $.02:
I drive an 89 930 on the track and a 1960 BN7 with OD in the back country;
(Just DE's, not as a pro...)  I did 75 backcounty KY miles in the Healey with
another Healey (BN7 with OD) this PM. I was constantly on/off the OD but
mostly off except on straight runs at speed in 4th and some 3rd.  Rarely kept
OD in play on curves except for long sweepers...
I had some thought about tracking the Healey as my car's history seem to have
been a track car way back in the Bay area.
It was originally imported without OD per the BHC but now has a top shifter
with OD. Except for front straights,  I suspect the OD is really not a factor
on a track.   I may track it next year to try it, so may eat my comments, but
suspension and driving technque would seem to be more important than worrying
about OD (except for long straights of course).
I think "drive it like ya stole it" is the best philosophy.  If you have OD,
and know your car, its torque curves, etc. you'll know when OD makes sense or
not.

I have owned a Jensen Healey since 1977. The first one I bought with 
26.000mls. I did rebuild the (DellOrto equipped) engine when it had done 
60.000mls because I had an oil pressure drop which in the end was a 
broken oil pressure valve spring. I replaced two burned exhaust valves 
and all bearing shells and seals. The crankshaft had no wear on the 
journals at all. There was no discernible wear on the pistons or bores.
After that I drove another 100.000mls without ever having to do some 
work on the engine except oil changes and the occasional tune up. 
However the body was shot in the end and the car ended up in the garage 
to be restored in due time in 1985. Engine is still fine but a bit smoky.
Well it is the old story, children, old house to be restored/rebuild, 
horses and sports of the children etc. and the car is still in the garage.
Some three years ago a dealer came up to me during an event to ask what 
a JH was worth as he had traded in one. One of the club members knew 
this car was very solid and rust free.
As it was near my birthday my wife asked me if I knew something for my 
birthday a few days later, so I suggested the JH. She told me to have a 
good look at it which resulted in that I was presented with this JH on 
my birthday. There were a fair few technical problems to attend to: rear 
wheel bearings, the radiator and I still have some clutch issues to 
solve. We traveled about 8000mls through France, the UK and Italy this 
year and I attended numerous local events.

These cars are not the prettiest but the engine is a joy to watch. It is 
why I bought the car in the first place.
It is relatively fast (0-60 in under 8s, 120mph), comfortable, easy to 
drive, and  holds the road very well. It is a much better car than the 
Big Healey (I know...., sorry), there is only one big snag, the 
looks!!!! which makes the Big Healey stand out a mile and a bit.

These cars were unreliable and very badly build in the beginning. Around 
the end of 1973 things did improve considerably although it still was 
not perfect. Many cars have been properly rebuild and most bugs have 
been ironed out by now and there are some good cars available for 
relatively little money. A top original (concours) car can be had for 
less than $15.000 and basket cases go from less than $500.

If you know your stuff most parts can be obtained or repaired for very 
little money.
Suspension, steering, brakes by Vauxhall Viva/Firenza/Magnum, engine by 
Lotus (build right up to this century), gearbox by Sunbeam (Alpine, 
Hunter series) or Getrag (BMW2002tii), electrics by the almighty Prince 
of Darkness.
They are very easy cars to work on excepting two jobs: replacing the 
exhaust manifold and gaskets and setting the clearances of the exhaust 
valves with the engine in situ.

Soak in penetrating oil for a few days, heat the nut carefully using a 
blow torch without scorching the generator, use an impact wrench (air or 
electric) while holding the pulley with a large vice grip and an old 
v-belt. Sometimes you can hold the shaft with an Allan key.
Removing the nut is one thing. It can also be very difficult to remove 
the pulley itself. Apply some heat to the pulley and tap the shaft with 
a copper faced hammer and hope for the best. You may have to cut the 
pulley to remove it when it is rusted solid.

My old 3/8 impact (manuf. by the Mastodon Co.) is so slow, I guess it's time
for a new one.

Listers,

I learned this a a young man over 40 years ago from one of the best
mechanics I've ever had the pleasure to learn from...

Vice grips like channel locks are "Metal Eating Tools" and should NEVER be
used on parts that you will want to reuse... unless of course you want to be
labeled as a DPO.

Off my soapbox now.

Curt

About one foot more than you have on hand. 

For a BJ8, you need oh, say, 3 feet or so. But it's cheap, so I'd buy 5 or 6 feet in case you, uh, decide to 'redo' some of your work.

The original hoses were straight 1/2 heater hose. The problem is they  
will kink against the shroud when installed. So we have a special pre  
formed hose that fits with out rubbing on the shroud.

It just depends on the circuit.
For example, at Eastern creek, here in Sydney,
1. if you drove my Healey, and you didn't use overdrive. And;
2. I drive my Healey, & use o/d. And..
3. we were of identical competency as drivers,
A. I'd probably be about 10 seconds a lap quicker than you....
With a 4.1:1 diff, in overdrive top: I have to lift off @ over 6000  
rpm on the main straight.
With a 3.9:1 diff, I don't.  Close, - it'd like close to 6,400.
With no overdrive, you'd get passed like you were standing still. (in  
an identical engine spec Healey, with the same gearing, but if he had  
overdrive)

I seem to recall that each box has two hex head bolts and two Phillips head screws. Is this right or does it just have 4 hex head bolts as shown in the Moss catalog.

If it uses Phillips head screws too, are these placed in the upper two holes or into the lower holes near the seat pan floor.

Thank you,

John, 

There was a change point with the Mk 2 BT7 where they installed 1/4" NF
captive welded nuts to the side wall of the inner wheel arches to receive
the horizontal 1/4" hex head bolts (backed up by lock washers and flat
washers) from the wheel arches. The 1/4" Phillips head screws went down
through the holes outboard of the seat pans and through the ears of the bump
stop boxes, anchored by flats, locks and nuts on the underside.

Subject: [Healeys] Shipping Healeys this summer
Message-ID: <11c61b.7ec54d8c.3a0a2518@aol.com>

We've had some chatter on this list about the possibilty of shipping cars 
between Vancouver, Washington, and Rendezvous, to Colorado Springs and 
Conclave. This morning, I interviewed Neil Pitt, president of Passport Transport, 
for another magazine and was very impressed with their operation. While 
general manager of the Passport division of FedEx, Neil organized a management 
buy-out of the company with the support of some customers with extensive car 
collections, and the company is now independent again and being run by and 
for car guys in the same way it was when Healey owner Bob Pass was running it 
(before he sold it to FedEx in 2000). 

Neil says his company would be pleased to talk to Healey owners who might 
be interested in putting together one or more truck-loads (six cars per 
truck) of cars from Rendezvous to Conclave. If any of you know of a group that 
would be interested in doing that, he says to call them -- 800-325-4267 -- and 
ask for John Scharff. With a full truck, you can pretty much specify the 
day and time of pick-up in Vancouver, and subject to the laws of nature, the 
day and time of delivery to Colorado Springs, in enclosed trucks with 
experienced car transport drivers and full insurance.

With a little more flexibility on pick-up and delivery time, I think they 
would also be a good choice for shipping cars from any point in the country 
to either of the two meets. 

No financial interest, just really impressed with what some young gearhead 
managers are doing with a company that has a long and impressive record in 
the car transport business.

Rich,

I am so glad to have you on this list. I had no idea about the change 
point and I thought the captive nuts were for the Phillips screws!

Now, I wonder why flat washers were used when there are so many 
applications with just lock washers. There must have been some 
special reason because the price point of the car could not exceed a 
certain figure and any additional items, like an extraneous flat 
washer or whatever, would add expenses for materials and labor that I 
am sure the manufacturer would like to avoid.

Thanks for this information!

John

Subject: [Healeys] How long is your dipstick!
Message-ID: <AANLkTinGyLRNce5R0aqy3T1xsnX-nQ9HWCupGkNNT8Z5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi guys

Thought that might get your attention.

I'm over in the UK visiting family so I get to spend some quality time with
my Healey which is still in the UK. When I bought the car in June I asked
the PO to do an oil change before I picked it up. He kindly obliged. When I
dipped the oil on departure date it was way over full. When I queried that
he said, its always been like that even though I always put in exactly the
right amount of oil.

So is the dipstick at fault?. My car is a mixture of Healeys. I finally
ascertained from the guy who actually restored it that it was installed with
a BJ8 engine block which was NOS and still in it's wrapping. The car itself
is a 100-Six.

Questions

Are all six cylinder dipsticks the same length or did they change slightly
from 26ID to 29D.?

How long are they from the shoulder to the end of the dipstick?

My dipstick seems a little bit home made. It doesn't have a proper
'shoulder' piece with the round 'cap' at the bottom of the handle that sits
on top of the tube. The handle is just a continuation of the dipstick that
is bent back over to form the handle. Because of this it might not be the
correct length.

Would appreciate if someone could measure his rod for me!

cheers

Derek

It might be better to measure the oil level in the sump with the sump 
bottom as reference instead of the top of the tube, as the tube may be 
not original or have an incorrect length.

The new score is:
Mouse: 1Mousetrap: 2
My pet chipmunk made an appearance outside the garage and taunted me.  It
wasn't limping and had no mousetrap attached to any appendages.
I got those lower rad brackets out, cleaned painted and replaced.  That
bracket under the steering column was a bear to get out, but re-assembly was a
piece of cake.  I assume that the better way to do this is to remove the rad.
I didn't measure the space that was created, but it is definitely better.  I
waited removing the belt until the rad was attached again.
This allowed me to run the engine with the belt off.  No rattle!  My
assumption is therefore that it was the dynamo and/or bracket, though I am
conscious that the water-pump is also disconnected in that test.  I had
removed it and looked it over closely earlier.  But, it doesn't appear to be
the timing chain.  The rattle used to show up at 2800 rpm ( with or without
load ) and it revved quietly to 4000.  That made me happy.
The dynamo pulley ... I stopped in at the Canadian Tire store on my way home
last night looking for the vise grips with the strap.  I ran into impact
wrenches on sale.  I passed on that and didn't find the vise grip that I was
searching for.  I dropped the dynamo off at a local Brit car garage near my
home this morning.  The nut and pulley should be removed by the time I return
from work today.
Work being done outside at my home dictated that I pack things into the
garage, so I'm just about done with cars until the spring.  I want the car put
back together and run for a bit to make sure the coolant is circulated
properly and I can test it for adequate mixture to protect from freezing.
Thank you to everyone that assisted in these ( and other ) processes.
I saw a T-shirt this weekend that read "What happens in the garage stays in
the garage."  While amusing, I don't think that I could live by it.  :)

Nice to see Passport back in the hands of Pro's again.  Shipping automobiles
was far outside the prior owner's core competency based on one near experience

Typically, professional transport is going to be minimum $1.00 a mile. The
interesting exercise is to calculate the equivalent in personal expenses and
then decide whether wear-and-tear on the car and driver/passenger is worth
it.

For example, Vancouver is 1339 miles. So at 20 mpg and $3 a gallon, that's
$200 for gas. It's a 22 hour trip, and eight hours in a Healey is about the
best anyone can manage, so two nights in hotels, add $175. Three days on the
road, nine meals, add $100. Figure you're $500 out-of-pocket for the trip.
But on the other side, you've got to add air fare, but with advance booking
that's only $100.

So the comparison really is whether someone is willing to pay $600 to avoid
driving three days in a Healey across the West in mid-summer.

am wondering if the new boots are made to be installed without the washers.

Does anyone have experience with this?

TIA,

The questions reminds me of the poor quality of Jaguar in the50's. I bought
a derelict XK140 Drophead that was sitting in the corner of the shop I
frequented. The young lady who had it had burned the motor up so it needed a
rebuild. One of the things needed was the dipstick. I bought one and it had
the part number stamped on it.

After the rebuild I was having trouble with oil pressure. After a while it
would go down precipitously. A check revealed the oil at the proper level. A
few tries, and the mechanic got smart. He drained all the oil out of the
sump and replaced it with the correct known quantity.When he checked the oil
level he found it over the mark. Apparently the dipstick, even though it had
the correct part number stamped on it, was marked incorrectly.

Yup, loading in the preferred quantity is the preferred solution.  I had a
dipstick on my BN7 which seemed to indicate overfilled when the proper book
amount of liters were loaded.  After trying another BN7 dip stick from a
friends car, we noticed a sleeve piece insert at the dip stick guide hole was
missing. We purchased this dipstick tube from the Nocks and problem solved.
Oh, and the dipstick was marked wrong by the prior owner and had 2 sets of
marks. We now use the original marks, not the notches cut on the stick.

Hi,

I am starting to set up plans for our trip to England next year for  
the Goodwood revival.
Tentative dates are September 12, 2011, through November 10.
I have a lead on a cottage for the week of the races in East Wittering  
and figure it will be a good start point.
I am looking for information on: best airport to fly into, car hire  
and other places to visit after Goodwood
like the ancestral home in Exeter.
I would like to correspond off list to anyone that would be willing to  
help me design our first big trip.

Thanks in advance,

For me, simply attending is the question.  I'm still working and have a
limited amount of vacation time.  Attending or not is based primarily on
available free time. If I were to attend I wouldn't have the time to drive
more than a day, possibly two.

I wonder if more people would attend national events if the national clubs
were able to work a deal with a transport company for discounts to and from.
It would alleviate a lot of issues around individuals and/or local clubs
trying to organize a truck.

Any of the auto transport companies owned by Healey Drivers?

Greg, the organization of the National Meets is a huge undertaking  
that is done by volunteers in a local club. There is usually only a  
small handful of volunteers that are will to do these meets.

When we did the Open Roads Healey International Meet at Lake Tahoe in  
2002 we started to look into doing just what you are asking and the  
logistics of trying to organize this for a group of club member 2000  
miles away was to much. So the transporting of cars was organized by  
a few members of the local clubs on the East Coast.

In 2002 there were over 700 registrants from all over the world.  
There were over 650 cars and of those there were only about 30 that  
came out on transporters.  This in only about 5% of those attending  
that used a transporter.

We've often had this discussion, and I have to ask: How many members who 
come to Healey meets still have children in school and have to worry about 
summer vacations. I'm betting that there are few if any, given our advancing 
age and the way this hobby has developed.
To make responses simpler, would you post an answer to the list only if you 
DO have children and so cannot take a vacation during the fall to spring 
school year?
Frankly, I'd like to see Healey events scheduled in September or October 
after everyone is off the roads, and the weather is nicer for long Healey 
drives. Driving ANYWHERE in a Healey in July is torture and my wife simply won't 
do it.

David,
That's why I'm suggesting we partner with a shipper and they do what they do
best, logistics and transport.  We bring them a customer base and let them
call themselves, "The official transporter of the .... Austin Healey ... Club
...." Wouldn't you love to see a 100M painted on the side of an 18 wheeler?  
Maybe for my discount / our business / and their logistical efforts I agree to
allow flexible pickup from and return to my garage or a central pickup
location, anywhere within a period of (swag here) two weeks prior to and after
the event. We give them free add space in the club magazines and banner adds
on our websites. 
I'm a computer programmer. I don't know what a shipper would want in return
for a group discount / business / and I don't have the clout to ask.

Greg

I agree that these transport arrangements are best left to smaller groups. 
All you need is for you and five other drivers to get together and contract 
for a truck. Given that Passport is trying to penetrate the car club market, 
I'm betting that they will give you the best possible price. What the meet 
organizers could do is run a clearing house where people interested in 
transport could put in their names and locations and someone could put them 
together with other people near that location.

On the same topic, I'm waiting on an order I sent to McGregor in June. Any one
know how Martin is doing on filling orders?

 I was thinking the meet organizers could entice the carriers to manage the
logistics and take that task off of the club and/or local small groups.

I agree that these transport arrangements are best left to smaller groups. All
you need is for you and five other drivers to get together and contract for a
truck. Given that Passport is trying to penetrate the car club market, I'm
betting that they will give you the best possible price. What the meet
organizers could do is run a clearing house where people interested in
transport could put in their names and locations and someone could put them
together with other people near that location.

Does anyone know of a link to a Youtube or other video on how to install a
Moss kit on my BT7?
Or have their video they can lend me?

I thought I would start with the rear seat pans.
Anything to look out for when removing the covers on my front seats and rear
seat squab?
They are in great shape, and I want to try and sell them on Ebay on the list
if there are any takers? Black with black piping.

Subject: [Healeys] Steering Wheel removal
Message-ID: <AANLkTikYyzhHm5p0dhd-sh8kohdS21d0JRTaqthwRxv0@mail.gmail.com>

Morning guys

I am about to install a Moto Lita steering wheel but unfortunately I do not
have my workshop manual around as its back home in Malta.

I did this on my old car and the only real issue was fiddling with the wires
to pull them up the tube and thread them back down again. However I can't
remember how I got the wheel off.

Unscrew the set screws obviously but what do I do next? It's an adjustable
column but the large screw ring on the column looks like it could be stuck
solid so I might need some pipe grips to free that. I've removed the horn
push but that dfoesn't seem to let me access much. Is there a large nut at
the top of the column? If so how do I get to it?

Regarding the wiring, MY car now has the indicators operating off a switch
on the dash so only the horn wire will be connected. As I am not going to be
reusing the horn/indicator assemebly presumably I can just cut the horn wire
at the top and won't have to bother with the threading , re-threading
procedure.

thanks

Derek,

The three small screws in the body of the steering wheel hold the 
trafficator/control head in place.  Loosen them and you should be able 
to pull the control head out enough to be able to work on it.  There are 
three screws that hold the short stator tube to the bakelite parts.  The 
heads of the screws are covered by the thin steel disc in the short 
stator tube assembly.  Rotate the disc around (there's an tab that 
you'll have to lift out of a hole) until the screw heads are exposed. 
Remove the screws and separate the stator tube from the bakelite.  This 
will expose the wiring connections.  Disconnect the horn lead.  As your 
other leads are already separated, the control head should now be free 
and just feed the wiring eyelets through the short stator tube as you 
pull it out.

Looking at the end of the steering column you should see the splines 
that the steering wheel slides on and a steel ring.  The ring prevents 
the wheel from falling off the column.  Remove the ring and loosen up 
the locking ring and you should be able to remove the steering wheel.

Regards to wiring: there are four leads. Two have power - one for the 
horns and one for the turn signals.  So I wouldn't just clip them.  I'd 
disconnect the steering column harness from the main harness (in front 
of the radiator).

Just watched the "Chasing Classic Cars" episode entitled "Road Trip" on 
HD
Theater last night.  The bus was the featured vehicle on Wayne's trip
 up the
California coast to the Monterey vintage races.  Along the way, 
Wayne stopped
to show it off to Jay Leno, who took it for a test drive. 
 Interestingly,
Wayne had bought the bus for $50k and was trying to sell
 it for $95k.  Bus
looked in great shape.The episode also includes a number of Healeys, including
a 100S.   Here's a schedule that shows 
when the episode will be aired again.

I'm 39 and have 3 kids under 12.

I have 5 british cars at home including 2 healeys.

I'm still at the point in my career/life where I'm working 70+ hours a week to
make the mortgage and save up for college tuitions.

As much as I would like to spend my vacation completing the CA Mille, or the
Copperstate, or attending Hershey, Monterey Historics or any number of events
that I personally might consider to be a good time, the family has other
ideas, that typically involve camping or Mickey Mouse.

I probably don't speak for everybody in my demographic (which is admittedly
small in the British Car Hobby) but I think it's safe to say that you can plan
events that don't need to be too family friendly, because it's unlikely that
many of us will have the opportunity to travel and attend such an event unless
it's in our back yard.

I watch these shows and Wayne always seems to try to sell cars for a higher 
price and gets disappointed.   It is a wonder he stays in business the way 
the show makes it like he barely makes a profit.   On the other hand, he had 
a nice little white fiat on the show the other day which would be fun to 
drive around.

A fellow club member is having a problem with his OD.

The car has been running and driving just fine.  Recently, while underway in
4th, the OD started to "hunt" by cycling on and off, followed by a "bang"
while underway.

Now the car can be pushed forward or backward while in neutral, but when any
gear is engaged, and the clutch is let out, there is no forward or backward
motion and the car will stall.

Any Ideas as to what has occurred and the fix?

The bus seems to be in reasonable shape (Tracy and I saw it at Monterey),
but some conversations among a few knowledgeable folks suggests that it was
not a BMC Training Bus, but rather one of the buses used to transport the
Mini Coopers in a whirlwind round-the-country demo tour the first year they
were on the market. (three pro drivers -- I believe Stirling Moss, Denise
McCluggage, and Innes Ireland, but that's off the top of my head -- drove them
at
various tracks around the country).
In any case, the interior of the bus is completely stripped out except for
vehicle hold-down rails along the floor, but the only opening is through a
door in the side, that would have been big enough for a Mini but not for
anything larger. There is no opening in the tail, as there would have been for
a
works race car hauler, and there's no evidence that there was ever any
interior in the bus of any sort.

The attendees of the National Meets is a very small percentage. Again  
looking at Tahoe in 2002 700 registrations. I think there is about  
6000 members of the National Healey Clubs so thats less than 10% of  
the National members. What is most important to keep the British Car  
interest alive is to participate and voulunteer as much as you can in  
the local level. And keep the interest alive in the youth of the clubs.

The other thing that I feel is very important is that all the British  
Car clubs need to stop looking as thou they are the only ones that  
exist and start doing activities with the other marques. Which are  
all suffering from the same problems.

The activities of the local clubs is what will make our hobby  
survive, I you look at the cars of the mid 20s to the late 40s. They  
use to be the heart of the classic car life. When was the last time  
you seen a 32 Buick or a 29 Ford on the road.

The reason here is that the people that loved and grew up with these  
cars are in their 80s now and very few people have picked up the love  
of these cars. If we are not careful the same will happen to the  
British car fever that we are all enjoying right now. Just look at  
the age of those that are driving these cars and you will see it  
happening. I see very few people in their 20s and 30s that love these  
cars the way we do.

Most of the younger group that is interested in cars are looking at a  
Toyota, Honda etc.  And the cars that they grew up admiring and  
dreaming of owning are 70s and some 80s cars.

Actually, last Saturday morning, at our every Saturday morning Donut
Derelicts gathering in Los Altos. Both of them in fact (three if you count the
earlier Ford pick-up). You should come down sometime. Those guys are the same
age as we are, and they love and maintain their cars just as religiously.

Speaking of multimarque meets, are the local British clubs stepping forward
to take over the British Car Autumn Classic in Morgan Hill, CA next year?

Message-ID: <COL120-W28FBBAF291B6A0B878C1309E310@phx.gbl>

Hello all;
My BJ7 is almost done.  Driven it around the house a little.  The clutch pedal
travel seems to be awfully long.  The clutch engages in the upper half.  I
know there are sort of semicircular shims that go on the brake or clutch
master cylinder but I don't really know what they do.  I have one but making
more looks pretty simple, I'm sure they're used in pairs.  Is there away to
reduce this travel?  Also, and I admit I haven't really looked at this yet,
gas pedal moves quite a bit before the throttle opens up.  Just an adjustment
or is there more to it?  The entire throttle linkage has been rebuilt.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Fellow Listers,

With regret, I am selling my 100-4 - simply due to health reasons.  I bought
it this spring
with the intent of doing some gentlewomanly racing in the VSCCA; however
those goals
have had to be mothballed due to simultaneously dealing with a health issue
that's taken
precedence.

If anyone's interested, please follow contact information in the ad.  I have
more (tons)
of photographs too.

The car is very solid, no rust, runs great now that I have had necessary
work done,
it's tight and responsive, and needs a new home.

Comments welcome.

I can have it put on a container for a reasonable sum - likely under $1k and
likely closer to about $700 to San Diego, LA, Seattle or Portland.

If you or anybody else is serious, let me know.  I'd be happy to help.

Frank,
Shimming the clutch master cylinder will change the fore/aft location of the
clutch pedal, but will not change the amount of travel. As I recall, adding
shims will move the pedal closer to the driver. To decrease the travel you
will need a larger master cylinder, but this change will also require higher
pedal pressure to operate it. I did this on my BJ8 and did not find the
increase in pedal pressure to be a problem & really like the shorter throw,
but the BJ8 clutch pressure plate id different form the earlier cars. Changing
the location of the clutch pushrod pivot point will also affect the travel,
but with the same tradeoff in pedal pressure. I went one size larger (1/8"
larger diameter).

I second that and ask that if you see an enlisted service personnel in
line at a fast food or other restaurant, you offer to pick up the tab. I
work at NAVSTA Norfolk and did that today as it was a day off for most
personnel, but a few of us answered the call. I always tell them I
appreciate their service to our Country. Without the brave men and women
of our armed forces we probably wouldn't be enjoying our hobby. God bless
them all.

Message-ID: <002001cb8210$6279d3f0$4001a8c0@markl946cfrd7q>

So far I have logged 900 miles on my restore and shooting for 1000 before the
snow falls.
The car is finally loosening up , going straight,  cornering well, and
sounding like a Healey should.

One item that I thought I would mention  is the difference in  how the car
feels and runs when not using first gear but instead , starting up in second
gear.   I tried this in my MGA
with completely different results because of the differences in the gear
ratios. It didn't feel
right at all in the "A" but feels very right in the Healey.

For those of you that haven't accidentally stumbled across this yet I suggest
you give it
a try.  IMHO that first gear is pointless, whinny, and without it the car has
a totally different
sporty feeling.

Lovin It,    Mark

It is pretty unlikely you'll see me doing that on Veteran's Day.
I prefer doing it on random days during the year, they seem to
appreciate it more when they least expect it.

Hello all,

 

I have been searching with no success for the packing gland that fits into
the chamfered balance pipe fitting on the Hundred inlet manifold. Moss
refers to it as part number 021-906 but lists it as NA (not available) which
means little. 

Can anybody help? I currently need 3 for three different restoration
projects.

I think you will find that the originals where made but forcing into 
shape a length of lead impregnated string or cord. In the UK anything 
made of lead was outlawed many years ago and this may also apply in 
Canada. There was a time when you could buy this string and many years 
ago I used it to repack an external water pump on a Fordson Tractor. 
This was the official spare at the time. Something is still available 
but I doubt if it is made of lead see

http://www.cotswoldvintagetractors.com/fordson/product.php?productid=1615
6&cat=0&page=1

It may be that there is a similar supplier in North America.

Although not authentic a large 'O' ring will do the trick but this needs 
to be of high grade rubber because although an inlet there is still some 
heat around. A cheap 'O' ring for a plumbing supplier might not last.

Best regards

Anyone on the list familiar with the dynalite alternator purported to be
available for positive ground cars?

I am not sure which model generator I have but this seems to be an easy bolt
on replacement.

I used several wraps of Teflon filled valve stem packing. Seems to be
holding up well.

Hi Rich,

when I rebuild my carbs I found packing string that looked
completely like the graphite packing string used by plumbers on faucets, valve
stems, pumps and so on.  I found similar packing locally in the plumbing
section of an Ace hardware store.  item 40209 1/8 in. by 24 in.  Looks like an
impregnated twisted cord.
http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/ProductDetails.aspx?SKU=40209

When I looked
it up I learned graphite packing forms a seal when under pressure and resists
chemicals (gas) and high temperatures, so it sounded perfect for the job.  I
didn't find references on the Healey list or car forums though.

Still have to
fire up the car though and no idea if this was factory original or result of a
rebuild.  Maybe other with more plumbing experience can chime in but I will
try this route hopefully soon if I don't hear of bad experience with this
product.

Bert

I have 4 exhaust manifolds.

1 - front with the BJ8 casting # and good flanges.

1 - rear with good flanges. It's not BJ8. It doesn't have the screw holes to mate the intake manifold. (Here in the office during a boring tele/video conferance I don't remember the casting number. Is there a way to tell which 6 it goes to?)

The above two are for sale. Please contact me off list.

I have a matched set original from my 65BJ8. The flanges are cooked. For these, I have the standard list of questions:

Just installed rebuilt generator on my BN7 and it is showing OK output at idle
but 15.7 volts above 1000RPM.  Does this mean I need to adjust the regulator?
I have looked at the archives and didn't find exactly what the input at the
battery should be. I always used 13.7 as the standard for a 12 v battery
charging rate. (Positive ground still and battery was polarized at install)

Appreciate the board's help as always.

In the plant I used to work in, we used Goretex packing glands, it  
came on a roll that you cut to length.  Don't know how expensive it  
is, but you should check it out.  We never had a problem with it.

Hi John, the Dynalite alternators are reasonably common place now. I'm not 
sure what power-lite are doing these days but they used to sell these on an 
exchange only basis. They use the core components of old Lucas dynamo's and 
install a 35 / 40 Amp alternator into it. Also from what I remember they 
don't supply a pulley or Fan with these units which means re-using the fan & 
pulley from your old dynamo. The problem here is that the shaft size on the 
new alternator is 17mm and your dynamo is 15mm and trying to drill out the 
dynamo pulley with a woodruff key slot in it is interesting to say the 
least.

We also supply these with a 50Amp internal alternator installed but on an 
outright purchase basis with no exchange on your old unit and they are 
supplied with a pulley & fan as standard. By default the units are supplied 
in -ve earth configuration but we offer a conversion service to change these 
to +ve earth if this is required. The units are made in-house from billet 
and are a direct replacement for your existing unit. All of these 
replacement alternator based dynamo's are internally regulated which means a 
change to the wiring of the bulkhead regulator fitted to most vehicles of 
this period but this is a straight forward process and simply bypasses the 
existing regulator and leaves the alternator to do it's job.

Please see the following link to these Dynators listed on our website and if 
you need any further information please do not hesitate to ask.

Thanks...I may want to tune it down a bit.  I have little draw on it and had
fried one previously with a bad regulator.  I have been running a borrowed one
all year at 13.7 V output and a new regulator without issue so this has me
perplexed.  I have been debating about putting a Voltmeter in as well as the
dash light is a bit too "idiot" for comfort for me.

my 2 cents:  would think it would depend if you drive the car a lot and/or
have high power draw. I set my reg. around 15.5-16 because I have air cond.
that has 2 fans--at night that is a fairly large draw. have had no problem in
about 25 years.  But I don't drive much---maybe once a month in the summer and
charge the battery up every 6 months or so. have a sealed battery and it is
about 4 years old now.
Also I have a Smith's voltmeter below the dash, just to make sure.
If you have elec fan in front of the radiator and have halogen lights then I
would leave it there or maybe change it to 15V.
If you have neither, then change it back to about 14.3V.

Another idea; in airports where you see service men and women, buy a

Hello, Healeyphiles -

Recently a lister posted some information about how to avoid a ticket while on the road.  When you are stopped, keep both hands on the wheel and say:  "Sorry for the inconvenience, Officer."
While motoring down to Atlanta for the AHCA Delegates meeting, I had a good chance to try this out.  Sorry to have to report, but it don't work with the NC HP!   ;^P
His response:  "It isn't an inconvenience at all...."

Dwight Jones, chairman of Rendezvous 2011, has looked into shipping  
from Vancouver, WA to Colorado Springs.  It would take 6 cars to fill  
a transporter and Dwight is willing to keep track of those  
interested.  So, if you or someone you know would like to do it,  
contact Dwight at 509-545-9735 or dwightbj8 at msn.com
If there are 5, he would seriously consider being the 6th.
See details below.
Charlie

Cost for a truckload of 6 cars would be $5500.00 each direction or  
$916.67 each.
In order to get them to Colorado Springs on July 3rd they would need  
to be picked up sometime on Thursday afternoon June 30.  Less than a  
truckload would be much higher and not make the time deadline.  So it  
would only work if 6 people wanted to ship.

I don't know if anyone will be interested at that price and, of  
course, everyone would still have the expense of getting themselves  
back and forth.

For awhile, I had a sort of oil seal in my MGA patterned after the old Ford 
seal, which used the packing cord for the seal. We tried replacing it with 
teflon, which turned out to be a very bad idea -- broke down within one race 
session. Talking to a specialist in this kind of thing, he suggested Viton 
o-rings. Seriously good stuff. More resilient than rubber and impervious to 
gasoline and oil.
We went to a company that specialized in o-rings. All they need to know is 
the desired size (thickness and diameter, and the material) and they had it 
in stock.

Don't know if it would work in this case, but worth considering.
Gary.

Richard - how certain are you that the 15.7 volts you see are indeed 15.7
volts? The fact that nowadays nearly all instruments have digital displays
does not mean they are accurate!
I have a thermometer with two displays: one for room temp and the second for
outside temp with a sensor on a wire. I laid the sensor next to the
thermometer: room temp. 20.4 degrees C according to the display, outside
temp 20.9 degrees!
Before trusting a digital read-out 100% one should check the accuracy.

Did you at least get a discount? :)

I knew a guy who went for a beer run at the end of a loosely organized
baseball game.  When he drove over the crest of a hill at 50 in a 30 zone, he
spotted a police car hiding near a building off the road.  He braked fairly
hard, but saw the car start and begin to move.  So, he drove over the next
hill, pulled over, got out of the car, pulled out his license and ownership
and insurance ( practice helps ) and was leaning against the car with the
papers pro-offered when the police car came over the hill.  They had a good
laugh and said it was the easiest stop they'd ever made.  He got a discount
and some advice to not 'brake hard' as they'll not take another reading.
Better to brake lightly, or so they said.

Steve,

Sorry to hear of your citation.  As you may have heard, NC is in  
desperate need of revenue.  There was an interesting article in the  
paper today that talked about the impact of fewer new cars on the road  
and people keeping their old cars maintained to get every last mile  
out of them.  For the county of Raleigh (Wake) this results in a  
shortfall of $9 million.   I am sure our friendly NC Troopers are  
being pressured to increase the tickets.  They clocked my wife 2 weeks  
ago doing 72 in a 55, just 1/4 mile from the transition from 65 speed  
limit.

I was following a CHP on a 2-lane highway (HWY 49 near Jackson, CA). My speedo said he was doing 50mph in a 55, so when a passing lane came up I thought 'what the heck' and went around him. The red light came on immediately, and I pulled over ASAP. When he asked why I passed him I told him 'because you were doing 50 in a 55' and he replied 'well, my speedometer's calibrated and you passed me at almost 60.' Since I just had my speedo re-geared and calibrated (I thought) for my 3.54 rearend--at $200--I was completely befuddled and p*ssed off. I kept mumbling 'g&dd#m it, I just spent $200 on this speedometer' and was so flustered I handed the CHiP my American Express card instead of my license. 

He laughed and let me go with a 'better get that speedometer fixed.' We used a GPS to check speed the rest of the trip.

Subject: [Healeys] Seat Rail Studs Redux Pt 1
Message-ID: <243607.86583.qm@web51403.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Few weeks back I asked for some tips how to replace some broken studs that
fasten the lower seat rail to the floor.  After distilling the wisdom of the
list and coming up with a few ideas of my own, this is how I did it. I
disassembled the seat rails by knocking out the roll pins and driving out the
seat slides.  Keep track of the eight ball bearings that will disappear under
your workbench if you're not careful.  I then used an angle grinder edge to
grind down the flat circular heads of the studs, then flipped the rail and
drove the broken studs back up through the thinned out heads.  Next, I
purchased some grade 8 bolts that matched the threads of the replacement
T-nuts and were the length of the original studs.I found the heads of the
replacement bolts did not have to be ground down to allow the seat rail to
move back and forth, but I would be unable to put a wrench on the bolts while
tightening the T-nuts from below.  Rather than welding the
 bolt heads to the galvanized frame, I used a generous amount of JB Weld to
glue the bolts to the seat rail.  I used some extra JB Weld to cover the heads
of the bolts as well.

Once the JB Weld had cured, I reassembled the rail.  I found putting the
 ball
bearings in the rear first, followed by the fronts worked best.  
You will
need to tee up the ball bearing between the channel and slide 
and strike it
with a drift and hammer in order to get them all to seat, 
then reinstall the
roll pins.  After that, it was merely a case of 
reinstalling the seat rails,
the JB Weld having no problem holding the 
bolts while I tightened the T-nuts.
  If you are going for the concours look, you could use "elevator bolts" ,
which have the flat circular head of the original.  I couldn't find these in
the correct size locally and since I don't have a snowball's chance of
concours gold level, I went with the bolts.

Hello, Healeyphiles -

Recently a lister posted some information about how to avoid a ticket while on
the road.  When you are stopped, keep both hands on the wheel and say:  "Sorry
for the inconvenience, Officer."
While motoring down to Atlanta for the AHCA Delegates meeting, I had a good
chance to try this out.  Sorry to have to report, but it don't work with the
NC HP!   ;^P

John,List,

I have the negative ground version in my BN1. It's a simple direct swap. 
I have the wide belt and used my old fan and pulley which fit the shaft 
on the Dynalite perfectly. Perhaps the later model dynamos with the 
narrow belts had a different size shaft? I gutted out an old regulator 
and used a large piece of copper wire to make a junction block inside, 
maintaining the original look. While the end plate is wrong, my early 
car having the oiling wick, no one has noticed yet. Their end plates 
even have Lucas cast in them. The black paint on the case is el cheapo 
so I stripped and painted it engine color.

I went this route because I wanted an alternator but couldn't stand the 
sight of a big ol' Chevy unit sitting up there in front of God and everyone.

Two weeks ago, we were traveling west on highway 160 in Colorado headed to
Trinidad. It is a two lane road in the middle of nowhere. We were not in the
Healey & going 75-80 MPH (which I thought was nipping along quite smartly)
when, in the rear view mirror, I saw what turned out to be an 18 wheeler
cattle truck (empty) closing on me. I speed up to 85 MPH but he kept gaining
on us. So I went 90, then 95 & finally 100 MPH, but he still kept closing.
Finally, I slowed to 90 MPH & let him pass, & followed him at 100 MPH for over
45 minutes until he disappeared out of sight. We continued to go 90 MPH for at
least another hour & during the entire time we never caught up with a single
vehicle. Don't tell my Mom!

One of the funniest cartoons I ever saw, the ones you remember forever, was 
by Virgil Partch I think.  The cop has pulled a 'speeder' over.  The scene 
is a row of 55 MPH speed limit signs about 50 feet apart.  In the middle of 
these signs is one that says 25 MPH.  The cop asks the driver, "What's the 
matter buddy?  Can't you read?".

The indicated speed was (more-or-less) exactly 11% low, which is what you'd expect going from a 3.91 to a 3.54 rearend. 

There's two parts to modifying a speedo for a different rearend: changing the gearing on the tripmeter and odometer and changing the speed readout. The shop did the former, but (apparently) forgot to do the latter. They fixed it no-charge. 

I checked the odometer against the roadside markers and it was spot-on, and didn't notice the incorrect speed readout since I didn't have a GPS or other means to calibrate. I've since found helpful websites that will give the expected speed if you plug in gearing and RPMs.

I am considering putting a front seal on the gearbox of my BN1.  There have
been some "mixed" opinions on this list before, anyone recommend or not
recommend doing this?  I live in a hilly place so the front screw seal does
leak alot of fluid over time.

Thanks for your thoughts about this.

Maybe right there.   I started with a 28% O/D to see how it would feel first 
and am waiting to put in a 3.5 BJ8 rear end gear set at a later date.    I 
have the entire rear end but have forgot what all has to be changed over. 
I will have to revisit that puzzle
later.  I do know that the Bt7 and BJ8 axle housings are different because 
of the high protrusions on the BJ8 unit so I won't be able to use
the entire case.

Thats another puzzle for another day.     Maybe I'll get the new Moss rear 
spring that knocks like a SOB fixed at the same time. Not real happy about 
the loose clamp on the spring but its a bit late to really tend to it right 
now since its already on the car. It still works, but noisy.   I digress.

Thanks for the suggestion,   Mark

Anyone have anything good to say about Moss Motors door handles? There are
also pairs available on Ebay for about $60.00 a pair less that Moss.

Spent the day re-hanging my rear fenders, installing new beads, painted my

My son and I had similar experiences on I-81 between the Maryland boarder
and Carlisle, Pa. when I was helping him drive home to New York from college
in Tennessee.  We would leave Sewanee early in the morning and by the time
we got to the Maryland boarder it was 9 or 10 o'clock at night.  With no
highway patrol cars in sight (as reported on the CB) a stream of trucks
doing at least 90 would be passing us.  We maintained a speed of 80 to 85
not even trying to keep up with them.

Ira,
 
In June 2010, a friend found that no one sold a door handle that fit his
3000 roadster.  He had to file out one hole to get the bolts to work, plus
the new handles did not match the curvature of the door.
Both Moss and AH Spares are aware of the problem.

When I restored my 1st Morgan, (it was a +4, which should have had a TR
engine, but instead had a 2.0L Ford), there was a device installed on the on
the speedo cable between the trans and speedo with little watch like dials.
Apparently is was some sort of " transmission" that allowed one to slow or
speed up the cable between the trans and speedo, therefore allowing
incremental adjustment of the ratio, and allowing the proper adjustment of the
speedo to the proper rear end/tire & wheel size.

I assumed it was a Ford part, I think it's sitting in a box somewhere.  Given
the number of people I know with "hot rod" 4x4's I assumed it was standard
equipment for guys when they wanted to fit oversize wheels and what not.

Anybody ever seen such a device?

The indicated speed was (more-or-less) exactly 11% low, which is what you'd
expect going from a 3.91 to a 3.54 rearend.

There's two parts to modifying a speedo for a different rearend: changing the
gearing on the tripmeter and odometer and changing the speed readout. The shop
did the former, but (apparently) forgot to do the latter. They fixed it
no-charge.

I checked the odometer against the roadside markers and it was spot-on, and
didn't notice the incorrect speed readout since I didn't have a GPS or other
means to calibrate. I've since found helpful websites that will give the
expected speed if you plug in gearing and RPMs.

We'd never dream of squealing to your mom about the speeding (or you ours

They're called 'ratio adapters.'  Lots of speedo shops sell them.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear  Half Shafts
Message-ID: <2C1E92EA09B14A45925B2AC21300EA1A@FredsLaptop>

Folks,

Does anyone have some rear half shafts for a 3000 that they would be willing
to sell?

This past weekend, at the season ending race at Texas World Speedway, I broke
the right rear half shaft on my 62b Healey race car. While I had a spare,
Ibm looking for a couple more as backup. This is the second axle Ibve
broken on the car in the past 10 years. Must be that cheap British metallurgy.
They only lasted 42 to 48 years with a lot of racing on them. I am mindful of
that old axiom that once the part is replaced, and you have a spare, it will
never break again. If you donbt have a spare after replacing it, it is
almost a sure thing that it will break again, and there will be no other
Healeys around to steal one off of.

Both half shafts have broken broke right at the radius to the flange. Of
course Ibm putting a lot of stress on these axles that they were never
designed for. Number 1 is the race tires available today are much stickier
than back in the day. Secondly, they werenbt designed to be raced over a
period of 20 years. One of the advantages of the rear half shafts on a big
Healey, is that when an axle breaks, you donbt loose the wheel. The axle
flange fits over the studs on the bearing hub, and when the brake drum and
splined hub are bolted on, the bolts hold everything together. The only
problem of a broken rear half shaft is that no power is transmitted to the
associated wheel.

A relatively simple test to check the axles is the bpingb test. With the
axle out of the car and held vertically by the axle shaft towards the splined
hub, use a wrench (doesnbt have to be a whitworth!) and strike it against
the edge of the flange. If the axle gives off a high pitched resonant
bpingb (much like a tuning fork), then this is a good indication that the
axle is most likely OK. If it gives off a sound that is flat, then the axle
most likely has a stress crack b donbt use it. This test is almost as good
as magnafluxing. Since the rear axle on a big Healey is pretty straightforward
to remove, it is not a bad idea to periodically test.

I would also strongly recommend checking the front stub axles on the 3000. The
stock units are notorious for developing stress cracks right at the radius
(especially on stock units after all the years of use). If the front axle
breaks, itbs going to damage the car, and will certainly require a change of
underwear for the driver. I installed Denis Welchbs competition stub axles
on my race car many years ago (much stronger and better metal than the stock
units), and check them yearly just to be sure.

Apparently is was some sort of " transmission" that allowed one to slow or

incremental adjustment of the ratio, and allowing the proper adjustment of the

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel gauge brass nuts BA?
Message-ID: <986565.16297.qm@web36707.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Looking for the specification of the brass nuts on the signal posts of the fuel gauge (where the electric wire attaches) for an original 100-4 gauge.  I believe they're BA.  I measure an OD of 0.137" and since I don't have BA/BSF/Whithworth gauges I estimated thread pitch around 38 TPI   

According to Wikipedia this brings it close to a 4BA   0.1417 in / 3.6 mm	38.46 TPI  So I measure 4 thou difference on the diameter.  Maybe wear or my calipers.

Can anybody confirm or correct my thinking?  

UK model engineering supplies still carry these nuts, not sure if there are sources on this side of the pond but postage on a couple nuts will likely not be too high.

They're to attach the cable's outer shield to the speedometer, and to hold the inner cable's square end in the magnet 
wheel frame (assuming you meant 'threads').

Yes but what I was actually looking for was the specs of the threads for the
BJ8, 5/8 x 18 or 24, for example. It would be the same as the speedometer
cable.

Alan, List,

What kind of seal are you contemplating? In 1998 I had the gearbox front 
cover machined out and an O-ring inserted to seal on the first motion 
shaft. I have had no problem whatsoever with several thousand miles of 
driving. I have inquired but never really received a solid answer as to 
the downside of doing this. Perhaps your question will promote a good 
discussion.

Same thing happened last year on my MGA. The piece looks like a combination 
of bad stress design and eventual metal fatigue. Given that a good machine 
shop can make something as complex as a crankshaft out of billet, why would 
it be so difficult to machine a part to match this out of a modern metal, 
maybe with a bit of redesign to cope with the much higher torque than these 
axles were ever meant to handle?

I was thinking of using a lip seal, but I seem to recall that someone
mentioned that pressure will build up in the box when it is warm and
then oil will leak out the selector shaft and side cover area,
possibly, but I can't be sure.  It would be great if someone knows.

You can always install a vent somewhere up high, as on the rear axle, to 
prevent excessive pressure build up.

I recently misplaced the nuts for on my fuel gage.  (BJ7, thankfully they
turned up)  I'm not disagreeing with the BA thing since my car is much newer
but is it possible that they are a 6/40?  I think that's what mine are.  The
stud on an original fuel sending unit is 6/40 also.  6/32's are common but
6/40's are hard to come by.

Gentlemen,

There is a vent back at the top of the hydraulic portion of the overdrive
that should take care of any pressure build up.

Tim, 
If you have an original workshop manual it states a change point in the
front coil springs early on in the 3000 roadster, and that they can be
retrofitted in pairs. As for the rest of the components, the lower
suspension arms, links, kingpin assemblies, steering arms and swivel axles
will all be the same.

Subject: [Healeys] Front suspension questions

I have a drivers side front suspension unit from a drum brake 100-6 that I
want to use on a disc brake Mk 1. Are the various components interchangeable
(aside from the brakes)? I did notice the coil spring that came off the
100-6 was about one inch shorter than the Mk 1 spring, is that normal?

Ira, 

I don't know why that washer is attached to the bracket, but notice the
difference in the ends of the bracket. The end opposite your washer is
shaped to fit down behind the top curve of the fuel tank better than if it
was turned over.

Interesting that BN1s, BN4s, BN6s don't have a seal and all the rest do (including BN2s).   None of the gearboxes have a 
vent AFAIK (maybe the O/D's big brass plug leaks on purpose).

I have had similar problems with these repro flat pull door handles. Closer
examination revealed poor finished castings with lumps and bumps in the
areas where the moving handle has to fit into the fixed portion of the
casting base. The manufacturers then chromed right over these bad surfaces.
I found that in some (but not all) cases some careful filing and relieving
of these casting problems in areas that don't show allowed the handle to fit
much better.

Hi Rich,

Consensus is BA for Smiths instruments.  4BA for the fuel gauge posts.

You mean 11/13 I guess. You should try living in Canada, we have not seen
either of these magazines yet but we may soon, I hope. Usually by the time we
get these publications where there is a feature of a recently restored
Austin-Healey and I call the owner to get some restorations details, the car
has started to rust already and the tires are already passed their safe to use

It's made of cement so you'll need a masonry wheel to cut it.

Hi Jean

Well interesting  I received the Marque on 1/11/2010. It is surprising 
to see some of our cousins receiving
the AHCA magazine almost two weeks later than us truly amazing ;-)

Kind regards

        I purchased a Bendpac scissor lift about 3 Christmas ago I tested the
lift prior to using
        with my cars it went up but could not get it come down.I telephone the
company that I
        had purchased the lift from in Australia only to find they had closed
for Christmas Holidays
        I emailed Bendpac in the USA to explain my problem at approx 2 am I
had telephone call
        from Bendpac who explained what my problem was.I though that was great
service. I use my
        scissor lift regular and have had no problems and recommend that
company I have no interest

Has anybody tried Dyna Beads to overcome balancing problems?
I run with tubes in tubeless tires on 70 spokes and can never get the
balancing spot on.
They claim they work breally wellb in tubes.

Keep the money in your pocket. They do not work.
I have tested similar systems in the past. They can have some effect but 
not enough to balance the wheels properly.

Ron, Volts don't say anything. It's the Amps that count. Unfortunately 14
AWG doesn't mean anything to me, poor European Continental who is used to
express the thickness of copper wire in square millimeters. In case you have
a conversion table: 2.5 sq.mm wire will do for the headlamp wire. The wire
feeding the relay coil can be much smaller, 0.75 sq.mm.

According to at least one source (http://www.powerstream.com/Wire_Size.htm), 14AWG is good for 32 amps.  Somewhere on 
the lights or their packaging there should be a rating for their current draw--if it's in watts, divide by 12 to get the 
current--e.g. if one light is rated at 100W, the current draw would be a little over 8A for one and 16A+ for two.

Voltage rating does matter, above the wire's rating the insulation may break down (I suspect--but can't prove--that part 
of the problems with Lucas electrics is below par insulation).  Obviously, 150V is plenty good for a 12V (actually 
13-14V) system.  If anything, landscaping wire might be more rugged than some others.  Make sure you wire so that 
there's no chafing or rubbing of the wire, and a fuse or two would be a great idea.

Ron -

My only comment on this is when I get a new car and I see
non-automotive wiring on it, I think "fire hazard because the PO
didn't know what he was doing" and strip the harness and replace as
first order of business.

I personally think people take wiring for granted on our cars, but
then again when it comes to this stuff I'm anal.  I don't want my car
catching on fire....

There are different types of Hardi backer board.  Make sure you get the type 
with the squares on one side and plain on the other.  Its off white ,  not 
grey in color.

 Got a jag??  Hope I don't get yelled at??.... but I know there's some
jag owners out there....  at the very least someone can get me to the
jag forum...  I have an 69 XKE that needs another gear...  im running at
4500 rpm and only going about 60mph...  gauges could be wrong....  but
doesn't "feel/sound" it..  a friend is at 4400 going 90 mph...  what
would cause such a discrepancy??..

?

Jeff -

You should purchase a dwell meter/tach from your local NAPA/PEP Boys
and compare the reading of that meter and your tach.  Rev it through
the main rev range 1000 to 3500 and see what the dwell meter says.  Be
sure to get an analogue meter because the digital ones will be too
hard to read while you are going through the rev range.

You should have the later tach that is basically the same as the BJ8
(internally at least),  Earlier Jag tachs ran off a little generator
on the cam.

I suspect that you have a problem in your tach or possibly your
ignition circuit causing the errant readings.  If the Dwell meter
reads similar to your tach then you may have a problem with your
coil,points or wiring.  If the readings are different then likely you
need a new tach.  You can have yours rebuilt and also thankfully for
your Jag these tachs are widely available.

For jag info the place to go is jag-lovers.org.  The e-type list is as
active as this list, if not a bit more.

Alan

Ira,

Yes, The "Hardi backer board" is/has been used extensively for  years with
great results as a replacement for the asbestos heat shields.  Don't over
think this!

Well, Rich, it is not needed; but it does offer a two speed fan that is built in allowing one to use the original blower as a booster for fresh air to the passenger if you put a valve control on the ventilation hose.

So, as I was saying....
Does the kit have everything one needs for the install? and is there a US
source for the kit?

Well, this is rather true, but then again if you want to get rid of the hose
/ heater motor which takes up room, so that you have room for other stuff
this is a good option.  Of course for me I like to keep it stock!

Well, Rich, it is not needed; but it does offer a two speed fan that is
built in allowing one to use the original blower as a booster for fresh air
to the passenger if you put a valve control on the ventilation hose.

All the recent discussion reminded me I have a nice OE door handle for a 6 
cylinder big healey, I am not sure which side or which model, it does have 
the numbers 122679 and WBB2 on the inside of the handle, chrome is in good 
shape only some fine hairline scratching on the surface (none through the 
chrome).  Excellent candidate for a driver or rechrome, for sale, don't know 
exactly how to value, new (apparently flawed) ones are over $100 I believe.
It includes the outer handle and inner metal striker and spring, motion of 
the handle on hinge is fine.

Can send pics but not on the list :)

Make me a reasonable offer (off list) if interested.

I need to remove/replace the side window glass from the driver's door  
of a BJ8.
I've followed the shop manual instructions to the point of
"...release the  regulator arm from its guide channel in the glass  
frame."
How do you do this?
I've checked the archive and though the question appears there, the  
answer does not.
Thanks for your guidance.

You have AH parts to spare, someone else may need them. No better place

There is a vent in the transmission/overdrive. It is in the top of  
the overdrive unit. When they were built new there was a small piece  
of thick paper tubing over the vent and I have had a couple of cars  
over the years that this was still on the overdrive causing a  
pressure build up and a leak.

Just wondering... Can the rear main seal update kit be installed in an
engine in-situ? Or must it be disassembled first? I'm pulling the tranny and
that should expose the rear of the engine......

Yes the rear seal can be installed with the engine in place on the 6  
cylinder cars.  The rear engine plate will need to be modified or I  
have them already done.

I did mine that way.  The seal that I bought, from AH Spares, required
removal modification of the
engine rear plate, but I was able to do all of it with the engine in place.

AH Spares web site states that machining of the crankshaft and block is
required.
A similar but different seal sold by Moss appears to involve less machining.
Is this correct?
 
Which of those two seals, or one sold by someone else, does anyone feel is a
better product?

Hi Ron,

I use a Denis Welch Seal which works fine.

It can be installed in-situ but requires the rear engine plate to be
machined.  I opted to use an ali plate manufactured by DW instead.  If you
opted to machine the rear engine plate, it would not be difficult and I
believe that a trace was include.   The machining in necessary as the stock
plate does not have enough clearance for the seal.

To install, you need to remove the flywheel and rear engine plate.  Using
the four bolt holes on the crankshaft flange as a guide, you drill four
holes into the engine block and tap them to receive the small allen key
bolts that hold the seal in place (I believe the tap was included).  

The seal itself is fairly easy to install.

This link will show a picture of it installed.

Bob,

The 'factory' is burlen fuel systems - http://sucarb.co.uk.  Their 
rebuild kits include parts for the diaphragm and electrics.  For the 
earlier roadsters, the pumps came in two different lengths.  I don't 
know if the pump fitted to the BJ8 does or not.  So be sure to check the 
length of the diaphragm rod.

<Rant on>
Their website isn't perfect - the fuel pump search by application 
(car/model/year) returns just carbs.  The carb listing for the 3000 Mk 
II aren't right.  The full spares list for the HS4 is actually for the 
HS6 conversion set they sell.  So some part numbers won't be correct. 
Yes, I've told them of the problems - with an order, during a couple of 
phone conversations, and in a letter with some returned parts. Nothing. 
  They don't answer emails as a general rule as they get too many.
<Rant off>

Looks like Moss sells the parts individually.  You might also try Joe 
Curto.  http://www.joecurto.com/

You betcha!
After installing the seal, I drove my BJ8 all the way from North Carolina to

I have also done it with the engine in the car.  Put it high on jack stands,
then you can sit on the floor through the gearbox opening to install (drill,
attach seal spring, etc.).  A dirty job it the car isn't a clean one.  Also be
careful not to drill to far into the block/ main cap, you CAN drill into the
oil galley on the rear main cap!
After you re-install the clutch take a 2 by 4 across the gearbox opening and
hold a screw driver that just touches the surface where the throw out bearing
contacts.  Turn over the engine and make sure the surface doesn't wobble and
is true.  If it isn't, you need to adjust it.  If it isn't true and you leave
it that way, you will have clutch judder- ask me how I know.

Now Steve, you know what they say!  When a British car stops dripping 
oil --- it's out of oil.

Subject: [Healeys] Extended Mirror Stem -- replacing
Message-ID: <951768.9406.qm@web56108.mail.re3.yahoo.com>

List

I have a Cape International extended mirror stem which raises the rear view mirror so I can see over the back seat. 

The stem is attached to the mirror with a ball and socket connection. There are two screws in the back of the mirror which I have loosened but not removed.  I'm afraid if I remove the screws completely the innards will fall inside the mirror housing and I'll never get them back.

Does anyone have experience with replacing the stem?

If there are archive articles I'd appreciate the correct keywords. I was unable to find anything.

Thanks

These seals are very effective on TR3/4's

So effective in fact that there is no longer any leakage out the rear main,
now it just leaks out the pushrod tubes and everywhere else it can
find............

Stephen, we have been installing the seals in all the Healey's we do  
engines or clutches on for the last 20 years.

The 6 cylinder cars will require the rear engine plate to be  
modified. The 4 cylinder cars will require the engine to be stripped  
because the scroll on the back of the crank must be removed along  
with the original seal has to be removed from the rear main cap'

I don't see repair kits in the Moss catalog--the only things that generally need to be replaced are the diaphragm or the 
points.

The non-electronic pumps have either: a) a capacitor, b) a diode or c) neither.  If you have a capacitor, it might be 
fried (depending on the type).  I think if you had a diode the pump would not have worked, since the diode would have 
shunted the current if it was forward-biased or, possibly, you fried the diode (but I may be wrong here).

You shouldn't need a new diaphragm or points--they don't care which way the electrons move.   You probably either have a 
capacitor or nothing to protect the points (or a possibly fried diode).  In either case, the diode does a better job and 
you should install one if you don't have one in there (Moss has them).

You may need to 'polarize' the solenoid--like when you change to neg. ground--but I'm not sure.

My Moss setup originally leaked - I believe this was down the vertical joints between the main bearing cap and the block - where the little felt plugs are.

I pinned the spring into the seal using straight pins - picture here:

http://www.pbase.com/stevegerow/image/91637854

This makes it easy to hinge the seal around the crank as well as point the spring side toward the inside of the engine.

I also used Permatex Aviation Form-A-Gasket between the seal holder ends, between the seal holder and the block and between the rear engine plate and the vertical joints mentioned above.

My Moss kit came with metric Allen screws - I replaced them with stainless 10-32s. I was chicken to drill the holes too deep so wound up putting double lockwashers under the Allen screws to get adequate tightness. 

While the engine plate was off, sealed the area around the rear cam opening, as well. Pix in the above photo link.

PS - Healey Surgeons has the felt plugs - just ask for the "tampons".

Ken Rocke had a good idea - get a couple of extra tampons, cut all 4 into quarter-inch sections, coat them with permatex silicone, then push them up into the holes with a punch. He says doing it that way takes more than just the one on each side. I haven't tried it but it sounds like a good idea.

when i rebuilt the motor on the bj8 in the 90s, i spent about 400 dollars for a seal and the machine work. did not stop the oil drip out the bottom of the trans. this was the old rope seal type so maybe not too good.  after getting tired of oil dripping on my garage i fabricated  drip pan that collected the oil, ran an extension from the rear drip line from the intake manifold into the drip pan. now when the oil drips out, it collects until i make a runs somewhere and it is sucked back into manifold  one drop at a time.  have had it on for years and it works great(no leaks on my garage floor from the engine(trans is another story).  i have also put this mod on a bunch of healeys in our club.  anyone wanting specs or pictures contact me off list.  hjim

With all respect Jim, if my Healey blew that oil out, I think I'm just  
looking for trouble putting it back.
Which reminds me of an old story..

Message-ID: <00dd01cb858c$c52cbbf0$4f8633d0$@net>

Dear Bob,

 

I highly recommend the use of David Dubois to rebuild your SU.  He rebuilds
and tests the pumps and when you get it back, it looks brand new.  He also
now uses an optical switch mechanism to trigger the pump and I believe that
it is more reliable than the original or electronic (Magnetic trigger) SU
types.  I have one in my  BJ8.

John Sims,

John thank you for your wonderful website. I was able to locate a fuel sending
unit float (brass COAZ-9202-B),for my BJ8, by using your local parts link. My
plastic float sunk, just like the last one. Your site is a great resourse and
I thank you again for all that you do for us healy folks.

To prevent damage to your plastic fuel gauge sender float,just bend back 
a bit the last 2mm on the hook or file away the sharp edge at the end. 
It is this sharp end that digs in the plastic float which eventually 
results in a leak.
A brass float may benefit from the same treatment as well.

Kees,

Thanks for the info. My float actually is leaking from the very end where 
there is a seam and a mold  injection site, if I said that right.  I can 
drill a hole in the plastic and let the gasoline out, but I was wondering 
what I would use to seal the hole that would be impervious to gasoline. 
Since this will be a spare, which I hope I will never need, I would like to 
try and seal it, if nothing more than for grins.

Mel

This is the float that is noted on the "Local Parts" page of my site. I
bought one at the suggestion of another lister and am very happy with it. I
remember that when I bought mine from the local Ford dealer, he mentioned
that I was probably going to use it for an old car. With respect to bending
the tip of the wire that holds it as some have suggested, I found that
practicing on an old failed sender unit, I could not do it properly without
warping the wire totally out of shape so this Ford float fits the ticket.

Now, I am sure that someone will ask why I have an old failed sender unit.
Beats the heck out of me. Winter project is to go through all of my
cabinets, etc. in the garage and separate the broken junk from the good
stuff.

Bert,

That is the one ( brass ) I bought yesterday from MAC'S Antique Auto Parts. 
It cost me $4.95 plus $2.00 Minimum Order Fee, $7.00 shipping for a total of 
$13.95. This should be the last float I will ever have to change. I hope I 
didn't just jinx myself.

Hi Everybody,
I keep thinking I'm close to the end and I won't need any more parts, but
then along comes something else.  This time it's the slide bolt assembly for
the rear seat on my BJ8.  I suppose I need one for each side.  Looking for a
spare original set that somebody has rather than buying reproduction stuff.
 In the Moss Catalog, it's part number 805-040.  With any luck I'll be
driving her before Christmas!
Cheers,

How to frustrate a (my) wife:   I am sure it is not just me.  When something 
breaks and needs to be replaced, not just Healey parts, I am reluctant to 
throw it away before I open it up to see what is inside, even those items 
that carry the notice,  "WARNING! DO NOT OPEN. NO SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE". 
The old saying, "Curiosity killed the cat" can be responded to with, 
"Satisfaction brought it back".  Several times I have opened up an item, saw 
nothing wrong, did nothing but put it back together - and it worked again. 
I guess it just needed to see who's the boss! (the part - not the wife).

But you can see he's really our kind of pilot.  He's restored this Spitfire

G'day

The supercharged Rolls-Royce built V12 Merlin did have a single SU
carburettor, but it was bloody big.

Bob -

Ye ask ...

In fact, early Merlin engines came equipped with SU carburettors which,
shock horror, did not work in negative G maneuvers which BF 109 pilots used
to their advantage during the Battle of Britain, despite the fact that
Hawker Hurricanes and Spitfire 1s were slightly better aircraft than the
109Es.

It was a huge deal and evenutally they had to fix the whole carb setup, and
eventually went to direct fuel injection because SU's just weren't up to the
challenge.

I wonder if Miss Shilling's Orifice would stop my H4s from leaking gas.

Interesting thing is if you play some of the more sophisticated combat
flight simulators out there, Hawker Hurricanes and Spitfire 1s will stall
when you invert or do an outside loop.

Here we go, only 1,800 pounds for a slightly used SU carb for your Spitfire:

What you do is grind down the last 2-3mm to about half way, then grip it 
with pliers and bend. It only needs about .5mm to clear the tip.

The only way to seal it is to weld it with a bit of another float or the 
same material. This sort of plastic is practically impossible to glue or 
seal. Anyway it is not worth the trouble as they are cheap to get items 
as they are used in many EU cars right up to the 90's, Mini, Renault, 
Rover, Landrover, Citroen etc..

Alternatives are a large cork or an aluminium or steel container for old

Wow! His enthusiasm for this British warbird is inspiring.  I like to think the eliptical shape of the wing inspired some of the Healey lines (rear fender)

There's a freshly restored Spitfire at the airport down the hill from me (Camarillo Commemorative Airforce)  I've seen the plane on air shows there together with P51D's and a privately owned Zero.  I hear them fly over a lot when I am in my garage on a saturday morning.  They're probably on practice runs or just having fun.  I always run outside to enjoy the sight and sound.  It also helps to have 12y old who loves planes, so I go to most shows around here. 

http://www.cafsocal.com/AnnouncementRetrieve.aspx?ID=51998

I have an open invitation to go and check out the museum, the restorations are mostly done by volunteers.  I would not be surprised if they have the equipment to make the 2BA screws.   A small lathe with thread cutting capabilities would do.  BA is mostly a metric standard, so most lathes will have the appropriate leadscrew or gearing.  Needs a custom cutting tool for the thread angle which is different (47.5 degrees instead of 60), the right aluminum alloy and then a strict QC process.  Probably a lot of engineering goes into this.  I'll ask when I visit them.

But I would also not be surprised if there's still places you can buy these screws or have them custom-made.  Or if they're lucky they might have a Spitfire-list where one can ask. ;-)

cheers,

Bert

Subject: [Healeys] Healey gearbox conversion to 6-speed
Message-ID: <004101cb88ce$34cbe7d0$9e63b770$@rr.com>

Hello, Healeyphiles -
 
I received word from BMC Classics in New Smyrna Beach, FL that they have
6-speed conversion kits available (which includes the transmission itself
and all necessary parts for the conversion) for all Big Healeys from BN1
through BJ8 and no welding or cutting is required.
 
I have no financial interest in these kits or BMC Classics, but am passing
on the information to those who might be interested.  BMC Classics has been
very cooperative and helpful over the last several years in my goal of
identifying all of the BJ8s that are out there, and I am trying to
reciprocate.  
To my knowledge, this is not the same kit that was previously offered by
Smitty in California, and now by Pete Delaney in Harrisburg, NC.  Anyone who
wants more information, please contact Harold Brandner at
BMCClassicsInc at aol.com.
 
Happy Healeying!

Wonder what they are using for a transmission?  Of course Healeys are already

I contacted BMC Classics and have been told that it is a "Getrac"
transmission. They supplied a copy of their vendor's ad which was in German
so I asked Jaap Aeckerlin to translate it for me which he did. THANKS! I

That was my guess, there already being Getra"g" 5 spd conversions available in
Europe.  Getrag and ZF are the main suppliers to BMW and

it will be interesting to see what model the transmission is coming 
from. 
Will probably be a bit pricey, too as the 5 spd Getrag conversion
 is 3,200
euros: http://tinyurl.com/247k98b   John, please shoot me a copy of the ad.

Subject: [Healeys] BN6 chassis and title available
Message-ID: <129173.55828.qm@web51404.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

Met a guy on the HAMB (traditional hot rod site)  who just bought a Fiberfab
Jamaican based on a BN6 chassis and it's titled as a BN6.  He's thinking of
putting the body on a tube chassis and selling the Healey chassis and title. 
He says it seems solid, with just some rust in the floorpans.  I've seen
pictures and the motor mount towers are intact.  You can contact him here if
interested:  aa_fc32bantam at hotmail.com  Might be a good basis for a rallye
replica, you could source all the ali panels from the usual suppliers.  NFI,
etc

That was my guess, there already being Getra"g" 5 spd conversions available
in
Europe.  Getrag and ZF are the main suppliers to BMW and

it will be interesting to see what model the transmission is coming 
from. 
Will probably be a bit pricey, too as the 5 spd Getrag conversion
 is 3,200

I contacted BMC Classics and have been told that it is a "Getrac"
transmission. They supplied a copy of their vendor's ad which was in German
so I asked Jaap Aeckerlin to translate it for me which he did. THANKS! I
will supply it to any interested members of this List. Just ask! This list

Group,

I have a 1967 Cortina which has two different sets of wheel bearings listed
for this year.  I have measure the old bearings and know that they are 19mm
inside for the small bearing and 28.58 for the large bearing.   They are
Timken bearings with the following numbers:
small  LH 11949
Large  1988

Anyone have a conversion to SKF so when I walk into NAPA, I get the right
part?

Rick & List,

California Car Cover is located in Chatsworth, CA (So Cal). For several 
years now, they are the only car cover company I've used and I highly 
recommend them. They get it right. e.g. The cover  for my '72 240Z had 
the proper mirror bag on the driver's side only. They make inside, 
outside and custom covers.

NFI Just a very satisfied customer.

My speedometer has stopped working. 

Now, I have done nothing by way of diagnosis except make sure the cable is
attached to the speedo at the back. My question is this....is there any one
thing that one might call the "usual " fault with these things, a "first

It used to work fine, by which I mean that there has not been a period of
on/off or wobbly needle or whatever.....one day fine, next day nothing. If
it was electric you'd check the fuse!!

Thanks,

You might try and take the cable loose on the angle drive to see if it is
locked up. Mine stopped all of a sudden also and I took the angle drive off
and lubricated it and it was fine again. I went ahead and replaced the angle
drive while I had it apart but the original one had locked up, probably from
lack of lubrication.

Actually it is easier than that.  Give the parts guy the numbers off the
bearings and he can look them up direct.  Or if you want to save a couple of
bucks go to a bearing house and give them the numbers.

Simon -

First remove the speedometer and set it up where you can see the speedo
cable through the speedo mounting hole.

Be sure the cable is pushed all the way in the sleeve and then take the car
for a drive.  If the cable spins, likely something is wrong with the speedo
and it needs rebuilding.

If the cable doesn't spin, I suspect the little 1" to 2" cable that is
in-between the cable drive and the gearbox will have snapped.    These
little cables snap all the time, usually due to a missing sealing washer
under the cup.

Even if the cable does spin while driving, it's good to pinch your fingers
on the spinning cable to see if it stops spinning.  If it keeps spinning,
then the problem is your speedo.

My guess it's the little cable between the angle drive and gearbox.

:(

Good Luck,

Alan

Jerry, I found this cross reference at a Timken site that says you need "Set
2" and "Set 21" for Timken or "A-2" & "A-21" for Federal-Mogul.  Chicago
Rawhide would be "BR2" & "BR21".  I have an old SKF catalog that calls out
"NO. 2 SET & NO. 21 SET"  I hope this helps.
Here is the Timken link:
http://pdf.directindustry.com/pdf/timken-europe/bearing-and-seal-application-
catalog-for-automotive-and-light-truck/7626-147227-_581.html   You can see the
bearing numbers you referred to are there except the small bearing starts with
"LM" not "LH".

Good luck,
Larry '67 BJ8

Group,
I have a 1967 Cortina which has two different sets of wheel bearings listed
or this year.  I have measure the old bearings and know that they are 19mm
nside for the small bearing and 28.58 for the large bearing.   They are
imken bearings with the following numbers:
mall  LH 11949
arge  1988
Anyone have a conversion to SKF so when I walk into NAPA, I get the right
art?

inflated tire with such a short lift. Had anyone used one of these?

This is for a tire change if you have a flat when your on the road.   I 
doubt your going to have room
in your trunk for a harbor frieght jack.   Unless its a small scissors jack. 
I had a flat in my garage the
other day and  had a tough time with all the jacks that I had available. 
Thin and flat is the ticket.

They are in good condition with minor pitting in chrome and great threads.  8 tpi.  Moss wants $34 each on sale.  All 4 for $80 plus shipping from 23602.

Place the jack under the spring plate, with a small block under it if
necessary and 6-1/2" of lift should be plenty. Lift directly under the axle
and the axle travel is irrelevant.

I'm not really a fan of scissors jacks for our healeys.  If you're in a low
spot, the scissors are so spread out that it can cause the jack screw
threads to strip and fail.  I've had it happen to me.

the hydraulic bottles and the original screws are good enough.

I would just like to point out that if you lift under the axle, the spring
will be compressed and the tire will be pushed up into the wheel well.
If this is your game plan, may I suggest that you do a dry run in your
garage and make sure that:
A) That you can get the tire off the axle and free of the car, and that the
fender is not preventing you from doing so.
B) 6-1/2" of lift is enough to get the fully inflated new tire onto the
axle.
Trust me when I tell you that both of these are not givens, and it is much
better to find out in a warm dry garage, than out of the side of the road at
night in the cold (and probably rain)
Ask me how I know these things.

I just went to the junk yard, got a scissor jack from a Honda I believe.  
About 2 inches high, slides under the frame even with a flat tire on the rim, 
 fits right in and gets me high enough to fit my other jack in with no 
problem.  No AAA needed and only cost me $20. Plus it fits in the trunk using 
very little  space.

So you use this to get the car 6.5" off  the ground to then use your Harbor
freight jack to put it on jack  stands?  Not sure how 6.5" does much for  
you?

If you buy a piece of wood, 6" wide, & 4" high, with a gentle ramp on  
it....
So say the 45 degree ramp is say a foot long, and the top is say 6"  
long, then you have your own portable ramp you can use for anything  
(getting over speed humps, kerbs, with a flat tyre onto a Jack)
And its in your boot at all times.
You just never know when a 6" x 4" that's 18" long will come in handy!
Tack a piece of carpet on the wedged end, and you'll even be able to  
easily drive onto it.......

Listers,

I need some collective wisdom here.

I am having some difficulty with stiff steering wheel movement, particularly
at low speed.  The steering feels as though it is getting heavier.  I
checked the box and it does not appear that the fluid is low.

What type of oil should I use in the box?  What was the original size of the
steering wheels on our cars?  I have a 15" wheel but I have seen 15", 16"
and 16 1/2" diameter wheels.  Which is correct?  Obviously the larger size
would lessen steering effort.

Also, I have what I think is excessive steering wheel (2") movement before
the wheels actually move.  How do I adjust this?

Thanks,

Fred

Fred,
In general:
Service all greasing points first!
Check your tire pressures. Increase the pressure to about 0.5bar above 
the recommended pressure if you use wider than standard tires.
Check the front suspension parts on wear: king pins, bushes, steering 
joints, do not forget the idler.
Fit the 16" or 16,5" steering wheel.
Play in the steering wheel is normal. On most UK cars of that era more 
than 4" at the rim is not uncommon, e.g. on Landrovers a ridiculous 
quarter turn is permissible!!, but I am not sure what the limit is on AH's.
Use HP90 in the steering box or the semi fluid grease (less leakage) 
that is used in the front wheel hubs of Landrovers. Do not use EP90 if 
there are bronze or brass parts in the steering box.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=heDW_QC3ef9w7d_0PR=_JBS7vykOP=ENqfo6e@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All,

I bought a carpet and upholstery sets from Moss for my BT7, but I didn't
realize that they come with no instructions whatsoever. I've found some good
online resources for info on carpet installation, but not as much info on
upholstery and in any case a video is worth a thousand words so I'd really
like to watch the Moss Video/DVD.

But I just can't bring myself to cough up $84 ($70 + $14 shipping) for the
Moss DVD just so I can watch it one time. I am hoping someone on this list
can loan me their copy. I would be happy to give you a full-retail
"deposit", plus compensate you for your shipping cost and effort. Or if
anyone has a copy for sale, that'll work too. If anyone in the RTP NC area
has a copy, that would be even better!

Thanks in advance,

-Danny

If you haven't, check the fluid in the steering idler box, too. Also, grease
all the joints in the steering system. Also, using the correct gasket to shim
the top cover of the idler box is something that is often done incorrectly.
Wider tires will also cause increased steering effort, especially at low
speeds.
I use gear lube, but as long as you have any type of oil in the boxes, I don't
think that is your problem.
2" of free play is excessive. Some of the causes would include, incorrectly
adjusted steering peg (located in top of steering box), incorrectly adjusted
shims affecting end play on the steering box, worn sleeve bearings in idler
box &/or steering box, worn ball joints, incorrectly shimmed front wheel
bearings, worn king pins & bearings, etc., or an accumulation of several of
these. The shop manual has detailed instructions on how to correctly set up
all of these adjustments.

Check that all parts are free, especially the fuel pump.
It is a Landrover so before you do anything at all check all fluids, 
engine, gearbox, transfer box, front wheel hubs (very important), front 
and rear axles. Most may have leaked away. Nothing special, just like a 
Healey. If the car has been standing for a while it may be best to 
clean/overhaul/renew the injectors.
Perhaps spray some WD 40 in the inlet when starting up.
Let the glow plugs heat up 15 seconds or so before cranking the engine.
Be very careful with the brakes. If they work at all they will pull to 
the left or the right when applying them and often alternating. This is 
your first area of attention.
You will wander down the road struggling to keep the car between the 
lines. There usually is a lot of play, I think 1/4 turn is permissible 
according to the WSM, and even if it is in perfect shape it will be 
terribly vague. It also sticks a bit as there are a kind of friction 
dampers in the steering hubs.
The clutch will be rather heavy.
Start of at 10mph and slowly progress to 50mph at most. Going faster 
will kill you or so it feels.
Find a good religious person to pray for you. Any will do Muslim, Jew, 
Christian, Buddhist and the rest if it.
Good Luck,

Hi Simon,
I would add to Alan's recommendations the following:
After removing the speedo and before taking the car for a drive try driving
the speedo using a battery operated drill. You have to run the drill in
reverse and find a suitable bit of something to fit into the chuck which
will engage the square drive recess in the back of the speedo.
It has been my experience that very often cable failures are caused by
problems in the speedo itself, most commonly  a seized odometer.
If the speedo starts to "tighten up" as you are spinning it in this way do
not try to force it to turn or you will strip the small fiber gear that
drives either the trip or odometer counter. (don't aske me how I know or how
hard it is to find a replacement gear of the correct type :-))

Hey Fred,  the best fluid that I discovered on the list for both the 
steering box and idler box is STP.
Its thick, slickery, slows down leaking, and it has next to no odor if it 
does leak a bit.   Just heat it up
a bit to thin it out a little, put it in a oiler can and filler up.

No leaks or problem in my car so far for 800 miles.

The adjustment is done from the top of the steering box with the lock nut 
and screw.  Check out
your manual.

Put the car up on stands so you can rotate the wheel freely,  from one side 
to
another. There should be a slight drag when the steering gets close to the 
middle then loosen up after it passes middle.

 Excuse this very basic point, but if your tire pressure is low, it will be
harder and harder to steer.

Jacks and pieces of wood.  All good suggestions.  However, I highly 
recommend one or two of the small, metal, collapsible, wheel chocks be 
included.  Could be a lifesaver if the car wants to roll off the jack 
especially if you are not on level ground.

I have to dissent here. When properly set up the steering on a Land Rover is
just as precise as any other vehicle of its type and age and much better than
some. The box has to be in good condition, but it is pretty robust being a
recirculating ball unit and is longer lived than the Austin piece, The
steering links, ball joints and idler need to be in good condition, the
steering horns on the front steering balls have to be tight and the bolts
holding the mounting plate which attaches the box to the chassis and the
bulkhead have to be secure. With those conditions met There will be no
tendency to wander and  I think you will find that the LR is quite stable and
roadworthy (at a certain speed, my Series I is all the fun you can have at 50
MPH). I have driven LRs extensively in the Colorado Rockies and found that the
only down side is long ascents on the highway. Don't get impatient, you will
eventually top out. Climbing to the Eisenhower tunnel during one trip in my
old Series IIA I could have let the kids out to play in the snow. On the down
slope however it would keep up with the traffic easily at 70 MPH or more
(what's a little over-revving among friends?) and was very stable,
controllable and secure. Treat the old gal right and she will show you a good
time... Wink, wink, nudge,nudge, you know what I mean?

Bill, I very much disagree. There is no way you can get a LR SIII in a 
straight line down the road. I have road tires, Koni shocks, parabolic 
springs and front disc brakes, new swivel hubs and its bearings, new 
steering joints, properly set steering box (less than 5mm play), correct 
toe in etc. Although the mods (especially the tires) did improve matters 
tremendously it will still wander and will keep you busy at the helm. 
Any European  60's and 70's car performed far better in that area.
The best mod was the conversion to disc brakes which led to proper 
straight line braking at all times.

It is one of the worst cars I have ever driven, extremely uncomfortable 
driving position, noisy as hell over 45mph (even worse in a diesel) and 
while it may do over 60mph on a good day, 50mph is a more or less safe 
speed in traffic for a LR Series.
Of road it is brilliant with the proper tires.

However it is great fun. Masochism. I mainly used it to tow the horse 
box to and fro contests for the daughters.

Got to agree.

My wife once suggested we get an old landover to tow a horsebox, she thought
they looked fun. I bought one, in a sand colour, it was an S11 or S111 I
think. The most basic thing I have ever driven. A diesel engine in an
aluminum can. She drove it once and said sell it. I resold it before it was
ever even registered in my name. A great boy's toy for off road fun, farm
work or real safaris.

Then you need to adjust the steering box Kees if the ball joints etc are OK 
and it's still wandering. I have 2 Series 3s - a 79 LWB and a 76 SWB - both 
petrol. Both have no free play at the steering wheel and track true on the 
road.
Also with Fairey overdirve will do approaching 100kph on the freeway. I've 
had the SWB for 12 years and it's my daily driver (being superseded by LWB - 
anyone want the SWB?)

Cheers

Everything in the steering and braking department is perfect, at least 
as far as that will go with a LR. Condition is better than new.
I suppose I am used to far better steering classic vehicles. Not much 
into agricultural stuff.
OK I am well aware that it cannot be compared to a modern Impreza, but 
it should be comparable to lets say a  Morris Minor or similar. Well, it 
is not at all.

(Original message bounced. Too big. Forgot to chop off the preceding
messages. Sorry if you get it twice.)

I forget to which Series this string referred originally.
I had a about 50 LRs in my charge. Half LH drive, for Germany, and half RH
drive, for home use. A few were SWBs, the balance being Long Wheel Base. All
were Series II. Or IIa, if I remember correct, which I may not. All were
petrol.
The Steering was not a problem and, if any of them had started to wander, it
would have been sent to Workshops and fixed or sold out.
One aside, be very careful before buying an ex-army SWB LR. Some of them
steer horribly and drive like crabs. That's normally because they've been
strapped to a pallet and shoved out of the back of a Hercules. They'd land
with a frightful wallop, normally driveable off the, destroyed, pallet but
occasionally with a kink in something down below.
We never fitted Fairey hubs....one more thing to go wrong I suppose.
However, most people in UK who have that vintage fit them or find that a PO
has already done so.

Many thanks indeed for all the advice and articles re. the speedo. Now is
not the time or weather for road tests. (Snow forecast for later in the
week).

I'll have it up on blocks later in year - hopefully for new rear springs -
and will have a look at it then, starting with the angle drive.

<< Hi Simon,  I would add to Alan's recommendations the following:  After
removing the speedo and before taking the car for a drive try driving the
speedo using a battery operated drill. You have to run the drill in reverse
and find a suitable bit of something to fit into the chuck which will engage
the square drive recess in the back of the speedo. It has been my experience
that very often cable failures are caused by problems in the speedo itself,
most commonly  a seized odometer.  If the speedo starts to "tighten up" as you
are spinning it in this way do not try to force it to turn or you will strip
the small fiber gear that drives either the trip or odometer counter. (don't
aske me how I know or how hard it is to find a replacement gear of the correct

I had a Range Rover '87 2 door once... Green. It was a fantastic car and I

Never had problems Kees describes, and I did drive it up to 100mph.

But, it was a V8 and a different model..

Message-ID: <C911A64A.903E%tjmorrio@colby.edu>

Listers,

I9d appreciate recommendations regarding acceptable endplay specs for my 64
BJ8 OD. During reassembly I found that the sun gear has 45 thousandths end
play. The factory manual recommends 8 to 14 thousandths. Elsewhere (Nelson
Riedel9s rebuild guide) has noted that 14 to 20 thousandths is acceptable.
How critical is endplay in this case?

I can9t find shims to make up the difference to meet the manual specs, so
should I make up a new bronze thrust washer to do this?

Thanks in advance and thanks for past help.
Tom

when the odometer quit on the bn6 a while back, i investigated and found the small phenolic gear stripped.  unable to find a new gear and not wanting to pay for a full rebuild, i took it off and cleaned it up real good.  i then mixed up a small amount of (wait for it) JB WELD!! i smeared a small amount into the space where the phenolic had stripped out.  i let it set for a short while until it began to set up, then pressed the jb weld area of the gear into the worm gear that drives it.  it made the impression required for the worm gear to drive the phenolic gear.  i let it harden overnight, then took a small file and filed the excess off both sides of the gear.  put the gear back into the recess, put the small clip on the end to the gear to hold it from coming out, and tested the setup with a cordlesdrill on low speed.  worked fine so increased the speed and ran it for a while to insure miles were turning over.  have had it on the car now for about 6 months with no problem.  of course, it could die tomorrow, but my cost is nil and i have nothing but time.   hjim

Greg -

Well, she gets pretty good mileage, is built like a (Sherman) tank and has
a ridiculous amount of chrome, so she has her moments.  I have the coupe,
which is a hog's hair more attractive.  Interestingly, when new... the coupe
sold for about 20% MORE than the convertible model, so that shows you how
people valued convertibles in the early 1950s.

I saw this Atlantic on eBay and am impressed with the car, definitely one of
the most original examples I've ever seen.  If I was to purchase one, this
is the one to get.  Probably only 10 left in LHD.

FYI, I am content driving the Jag Mk IX these days, it's prettier, faster,
bigger, and about 2x thirstier :(

Can't wait to do my second restoration of the BJ8 and get back to driving
that one daily!

Thanks for the great link!!

Sort of a Porsche 356 convertible with swoops, don't you think?  I love the
winged "A" on the headlight fairings and in the door panels!

Yes, that's the Vokes air cleaner.  Similar air cleaners were used on other
big Austins, Bentleys, commercials and the Jag Mk 7/8/9.  It uses a huge
cylindrical filter which is, unfortunately, NLA.

It's actually a pretty nice filter if you could get the elements, it is
designed to completely muffle carburettor hiss.  It is, however, a bit of a
pain to get it off.

What is all the extra electrical wiring under the voltage regulator (shown 
in one of the last pics) Alan is that on your car?, is the convertible top 
powered? is that what the wiring was for, or maybe some sort of control box 
for the trafficators like the control box the 100s have for the turn 
signals?

That's simply the junction box between the harness in front of the bulkhead
and the rest of the harness behind the bulkhead (The Atlantic harness comes
in two main parts).  I think the idea is that trouble shooting the harness
will be much easier if all the connections are all in one place.  My Jaguar
Mk IX has something quite similar.

There's supposed to be a plastic card mounted in front, about 4" x 4", which
gives a pictographic description of all of these wires, so you don't need a
wiring diagram to diagnose.  It's missing on this car, the one major
omission I see on this very original example.  It was quite common for these
to be broken because you had to unscrew the card to get at the wires.

With respect to the top  - on this particular car it has a hand operated
top.... but....it was an option to get a hydraulically operated top and
windows on this car!  Can you imagine, you would not want to put your head
out the window while the window's hydraulic ram cut your head off at the
neck!

I only know of one guy who has all of the hydraulics working as original,
there are alot of hydraulic pipes running around the doors and behind the
seats.  Very finicky, most replaced them with electric motors or hand
cranks.

   Here's a question.  On my 100 the copper fuel line has two banjo fittings
at the float bowls then should go to a compression fitting and flex line to
the chassis.  Someone in the distant past has cut off the compression fitting
and used rubber tube and hose clamps.  What are the specs on the compression
fitting and where can I get one?  I am going to sweat out the old cut tube and
replace with a correct length tube and connection.  I don't need the whole
contraption as sold by various suppliers just the tube fitting.
Thanks

Ken,

Maybe, I hope I don't have to remove the mirror. Sounds risky.

I received one response saying to use this type of extension I needed an
"older model mirror".

Can anyone else comment on this?

Hi Ray,

Doug Reid, aka Mr. Finespanner has the correct compression nuts.  Do you
need the flex line?  There were at least 4 different types and I have
examples of all of them in my collection. I can send photos.

Give me a call if you will be at your Mom's this weekend.  I'm flying today
through Friday morning but should be home this weekend.

Cheers,

Curt

Rich Chrysler, specifically for his quick responses to my photo questions
To all no matter where you reside, have a wonderful weekend, and the Yanks
on the list Happy Thanksgiving, whether you be a loose or tight nut..

I need to check, but I think there was such version of the BJ8 Phase1 with
amber direction indicators instead of the usual reflectors for specific
European countries. These cars got separate reflectors.

Phase 2 or Phase 1 is irrelevant here,  many Phase II BJ8s had the
earlier combined flasher/brake lights -  I have one.

I think these cars were sold to meet German spec and some ended up in
the US when US servicemen (usually USAF) brought them home.

The BMIHT certificate will likely help confirm this, if you have it.

Of course you meant to say Canadian and American day given it was celebrated
in Canada 43 years earlier than the US if one is to believe Wikepedia entries

How about this for a bit of knowledge to share. The first Thanksgiving
celebration by Europeans in North America was actually in Newfoundland. The
English explorer Martin Frobisher held a feast to give thanks for successfully
arriving in North America in 1578. His attempt at founding a colony failed but
there was a thanksgiving celebration in North America 43 years before the
arrival of the Pilgrims. French colonists at Port Royal in Nova Scotia held
feasts of thanksgiving beginning in the winter of 1604-05, to which they
invited the local native people - the Mi'kmaq. This was also before the
Pilgrims. In 1879, 13 years after Confederation, Canada's Parliament declared
Thanksgiving a national holiday.
So while Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, they weren't the first, and they
are not the only country in North America to have the celebration.
Off my soapbox.

Not according to the BMC Parts List for BJ7 and BJ8.
The parts list distinguishes between Germany/Sweden and everyone else as far
as the external light configuration is concerned.
 
Only cars for Germany and Sweden got separate indicators for stop lights and
turn signals as early as the Phase 1 cars.  The rear turn signals were small
(amber) glass beehive lenses in the upper pods (instead of the reflectors
for non-German/Swedish cars), while the stop lights had small red glass
beehive lenses.  When the stop light lenses were changed to the larger red
plastic lenses, the rear turn signal lenses were also changed to the larger
plastic amber lenses.  This happened for cars to Germany from body number
75208 and up, and for Sweden at body number 76138 and up.
Body 75208 went into HBJ8L/30116 (built 23 - 29 December 1964), and body
76138 was for HBJ8L/31259 (built 1 - 2 April 1965) or HBJ8/31336 (built in
March 1965).  Interestingly, BMIHT data records body 76138 for both 31259
and 31336.
 
I don't see any configuration in the parts list for large red plastic stop
light lenses with small amber beehive rear turn signal lenses.   But as with
many configuration details relating to these cars, what is apparently
original is not always per the manual.  We also have to recognize the
potential for previous-owner activity in configuration changes.

I have run glass behive amber lenses on my BT7 for over 30 years as my only
rear lenses. I will install new red lenses as part of my rebuild.

Seems like a lot of BJ8s are advertised as '67s regardless of when they were
made.  Some folks think there is a greater demand for '67s, I guess.
In the USA, the "year" of a Healey frequently bears no relation to its
actual build date.   The USA custom of "next year's model" that appears in
September/October of "this year" also screws up the accounting.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all those to whom it is applicable!

Curt
  Now that Josef mentions it  the compression fitting will only fit one of the
five hoses in your picture(second from top).  My other engine has that same
compression fitting and is a stock 100.  I was focusing on finding the
compression fitting and not paying that much attention.  Now I have to check
the frame tube to see what that fitting looks like. Such fun.

Hello Curt,
Many thanks for the pictures.
What puzzles me a bit is, all 5
lines seem to have the 
same end fittings. I learnt, but maybe I am wrong, the
early BN1 100s had two 
different end fittings, as the fuel line coming from
the back of the car already 
had a male end soldered to the line. As said, in
this I might be wrong, but 
Keith Clapham told me that and passed this info to
one of our suppliers to do 
them that way, and I think he should know.
I will
do a picture of both aftermarket lines (with 
different fittings, one for
early 100s, one for late ones; the late one has 
fittings like yours) you can
get here from a UK supplier. Will send 
tomorrow.
Perhaps you can give me more
advice, if we are right or 
wrong.
Cheers,
Josef

  OK Guys

Here are some photos.

The clear plastic line 
  was what was on my BN1 when I purchased it. 
"VISFLEX Made in 
  England."

The braided steel line with the blue plastic tracer is what 
  we believe came
on the cars. 

The "TITEFLEX Made in UK" line is 
  very high quality an this will be what I
put back on my car.

The 
  fourth flex steel line is just another period aftermarket replacement. 
I 
  cannot read the tag.

Also pictured are the original BSP compression nut 
  along with the
replacement sold by Doug Reid.  The threads of course are 
  the same.  the
original were plated brass versus natural, no finish on 
  the replacement.

Cheers,

Curt

Ray,  
 
You are correct I did show five hoses, the top two are identical. 
The only difference is that some have the compression nuts attached and some
do not.  Otherwise they ALL have male fittings on both ends and are
interchangeable.

 
Don't let Josef confuse you.
 
Curt

Oh... Never mind...Josef didn't confuse me I did that all by myself.

Message-ID: <4CEFC162.8060008@gmail.com>

Hi

     I am having trouble fitting an after market aluminum oil pan to a 
3000 engine.  The inside of the oil pan is hitting the corner of the oil 
pump preventing the bolts from lining up with the block. Has anyone seen 
this before?  If I removed about 1/8 " or so from the corner of the pump 
I could probably get the pan to fit.

Yes... The Moss supplied Al sump pan and the Moss supplied oil pump won't
fit. I've waited about a year for an answer from their tech dept.

NOTE:   I fitted an ALI oil pan from Denis Welch a couple of years ago.

The instructions for the pan specifically stated  that the sump pick-up had
to be shortened by about .5" or the pan would not fit.   

To achieve this , I needed to cut the .5" from the tube that connects the
screened pickup to the  pump.

On the Moss combo, the pan's inside edge contacts the pump's outside edge..
Nothing to do with the pick up.

The instructions that came with the aluminum oil pan I purchased from Moss
said to cut he tube connecting the screen pickup to the pump 1/2 inch.  Did
as instructed and the oil pan fits fine.

  Hello,

                   Thanks for all the input from the group concerning my 
oil sump not fitting.  It seems as though others have had the same 
problem with the aluminum pan hitting the corner of the oil pump. My oil 
pan came from AH Spares in England.  They have been great and trial 
fitted a replacement pan to a block that had the oil pump installed and 
verified that there was clearance. They are shipping that pan to me.  
Since other people are having the same problem these pans are probably 
from the same source and supply to AH Spares, Moss etc. If the maker 
would offset the hole pattern slightly to one side this would probably 
take care of the problem as the mounting flange is pretty wide.


                                                                                          Wayne

Check the alignment before you do anything. Excessive toe and or  
camber will give you all sorts of steering problems. Jack up the car  
and support on the lower control arms so that the tie rods are not  
pulled down. They feel the steering if stiff you can disconnect the  
outer tie rods and try again. If still stiff the problem is in the  
steering box or idler. Also with the tie rods disconnected you can  
check for and stiffness in the spindle / king pin assy.

Oil in the steering box is a 90wt gear oil.

We also have a replacment  Torrington bearing for the upper trunnion  
on the king pins that helps to reduce the steering effort at slow  
speeds.

Ira - you just swap it over, the distributor's dog will come off and
you can peg the stem to your existing gear.

Subject: [Healeys] Axle casing powder coat
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20101126190513.01fc8d30@pop.att.yahoo.com>

Does anyone have experience with powder coating the axle casing.

I am wondering if it will warp and cause problems with the differential seal?

Same issue with the axle bearing hub assembly.

Should I be worried about warpage?

Thank you,

BTW, I completely disassembled the rear axle and brake plates today! 
I have a new (for seven years) Lempert differential on my workbench.

As I was removing the axle bearing hub retaining nut I noticed that 
the nut on the right side was further in that the nut on the left 
side. It was about 1/4" There were no missing parts and the bearings 
and bearing spacers are all the same thicknesses.

What might cause this?

I am restoring a 1954 BN1 and my engine rebuilder advised me I need 10 
thou under cam bearings as the cam journals have about 8 thou wear and 
require grinding, I can only find standard bearing sets listed with the 
usual suppliers but I believe oversize bearings are made somewhere, can 
anyone help with a supplier?

Hi John, never had a rear axle casing powder coated, but to adjust the  
camber and castor in a rear banjo you need a serious press, and  
serious localised heat.
I doubt powder coating would bend anything.

I had one Powder coated and did not have any problem with warp. I did
have a problem with the PC shop who could not get the whole assembly up
to the correct temp and some of the PC was not good. I now use another
IN based PC company. Crown Powder Coatings of Fortville, IN .

Cleaning out some old storage boxes.  If anyone wants these, they are yours free--you pay shipping.

1.  2 brake calipers (came from a BJ8)---one has been pulled apart----both need a good cleaning and to be rebuilt.

2.  2 front shocks from a BJ8.  Two of the mounting holes have been made a slight bit larger than original on both, so would need to have inserts in these holes----and shocks would need rebuilding.

I hope someone is skilled enough to take these and renew them.  I do not like to throw original parts away.

Let me know if interested.

Message-ID: <455002.24562.qm@web36707.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hi,

I am looking for a Lucas Battery Cutoff switch for parts to restore
mine.  100/4 or 6cyl ok.  Rust, grimy, broken is ok too.  From a different
brand/model is fine too as long as it's an st330. Specifically I am looking
for the post on the switch that grounds the coil as the one on my switch was
cut/hacked.  If it comes with a knob that would be great as mine has a piece
broken off, but I might just repair with epoxy.

Here's some pics of the work
in progress:

I just need it to last until spring.

rattle pin sits in the opening? Trying to describe the relief hole in the
top of the stat. It his something one can screw up, or does
the orientation not matter?

.... suggest CRC w/lub. This would leave a slight film of oil similiar to the
coating on new rotors( that you remove with solvent before mounting).
Where
the items are located would determine requirement. Carports are very bad 
in
cold winters because condensation occurs; worse if car/items  covered with
nonbreathing cover.
Didn't see the first post on this, but if they are loose;
spray, then put in a 2 
gal Zip lock bag(use straw to suck out as much air as
possible). Zips make good 
storage and are reusable.

Finally got my LR started, starting fluid did the trick.
Well due the fact that I am 6'3" tall and around 260 lbs, I'm glad I did not
drive that beast X country. wow , what a tight fit!
Steering is a bit vague, breaks are fine, stops straight.
Going to fix some of the rust and finish the interior and then re-sell it.
I was pleased that shifting with my left hand was not an issue, but the turn
signal being on the right stalk will take some getting used to.
Thanks to all for the advice.

Hi all,
The other day I was rummaging through some old Healey parts boxes and found
the brake master spacers for my BJ8P1.  Since they have not been in place for
the past 20 years without my noticing any problems, I am wondering what use
they were/are and what benefit I would see if I go through the effort of
disturbing the system and installing them?

All the best,
Ray (64BJ8P1) Original Owner

Well, I have one of those (64BJ8, original owner) and it didn't have any 
spacers, but my 66 did?

Are you referring to the bracket that has a rubber busing that the hand brake
cross-rod goes through? It would be welded to the upper back side of the
diff.

John,
When the nut is tight, is there any end play in the hub? I suspect that the
side that had the nut 1/4" further in has about 1/4" of end play.
I do not know if this is your problem, but I have seen rear hubs that have had
the spacer ring (distance piece) ground into the hub by 1/8" or more. I
suspect that it was because the nut had not been tightened sufficiently the
last time it had been fiddled with and it allowed the distance piece to spin,
thereby grinding itself into the hub.

No front/back orientation. There is no need to fit an O-ring. Some 
people do, I have no idea why as it should be a fairly good fit in the 
housing. Anyway the seepage will be far less than the flow through the 
small ball valve. So only a gasket is needed for the thermostat gasket.

Be careful to fix "some of the rust" as you may end up replacing the 
whole damn chassis.

The chassis has already been replaced. There is some small rust on the right
side floor and kick plate, and a couple of small spots on door.  The PO
spent $42,000 on repairing most everything on this rig. He ran out of time
and money before finishing the interior.

John, Ray and all.
The pedal height (in a big Healey) is fixed by the length of the pushrod
from the master cylinder which, as you will know, tops out on the retaining
circlip.  Fitting the crescent spacers between the master cylinder and the
bulkhead moves the master cylinder forward and lowers the pedal height. I
cannot imagine why anyone would retain these spacers.  The pedals in a big
Healey are in my opinion at least 1/2" too far away to be comfortable and
moving them further away with these spacers would not be a good idea.

By the way because of the mechanical advantage, the spacer thickness causes
the pedal to lower by about three times the thickness!!

They are necessary for fixed length pushrod so as to allow free play

If you have problems with that 1/2 inch of the pedal being too far away,
there are fixes. Tom's Import Toys sells extenders although they raise the
pedal about 2 inches. I drilled additional holes so that my pedals (brake
and clutch) can be adjusted 1/2 inch, one inch one and one half inch and two
inches which will probably be needed as I grow older and shrink. At present,
I have raised both 1/2 inch and there is a wonderful difference.

There is also a direction on my site to make your own  on the Miscellaneous
section of the Technical page.

John, Ray and all.
The pedal height (in a big Healey) is fixed by the length of the pushrod
from the master cylinder which, as you will know, tops out on the retaining
circlip.  Fitting the crescent spacers between the master cylinder and the
bulkhead moves the master cylinder forward and lowers the pedal height. I
cannot imagine why anyone would retain these spacers.  The pedals in a big
Healey are in my opinion at least 1/2" too far away to be comfortable and
moving them further away with these spacers would not be a good idea.

By the way because of the mechanical advantage, the spacer thickness causes
the pedal to lower by about three times the thickness!!

Not only should you get another cam, but you might seriously consider
getting a LeMans-spec cam. Roger Moment has fitted one to his BN1 and is very
pleased with the additional power and responsiveness due to the better
breathing.

I don't have any problem that I know of or that is apparent. The nut 
was just not positioned the same as the other side.

Several people stated that the threads are cut differently; which I 
presume to be not as far onto the axle. After looking at it more 
closely I believe that to be true.

If the dash support bracket in question is a long bracket , about 1/2 inch
wide with formed ends....it mounts between the air duct that crosses the
firewall and connects to the dash just to the left center of the tach.  There
should be holes in the bottom lip of the dash.

My BJ7 has a 1/2 round bracket midway between the inner fender and the rear of
the door opening to fix the top assist spring.

Oooops. Got my facts confused last night. The axle nut secures the inner race
of the hub bearing onto the axle tube. So, I do not know why there would be a
difference of 1/4" from side to side, unless someone fitted a spacer to the
inside of one bearing to move the hub outward a bit. Perhaps to keep a tire
from rubbing on the inner fender well?
What I was trying to describe in my post last night is that if the spacer
ring, aka distance piece, is left out, the outer race of the hub bearing will
not be properly clamped by the axle flange when things are nipped up. That
will allow the outer bearing race to eventually spin and then allow the outer
bearing race to wear itself into the hub. This will result in massive amounts
of end play and require replacement of the hub.

Dave/Alan,
Thanks for your replies.  Dave, I appreciate there would be less end-play
without the spacers, however, why would I not notice some negative affect
during my  20 years of driving?  To be clear, what would the added (or its
lack of) end play do?

Since John's 64BJ8 did not come with the spacers and, assuming John's P1 came
with the same master/servo, could my P1 #26618 Healey be the  recipient of an
early P2 (started at #26705) part allocation?

Thanks and all the best,

Some master cylinders have adjustable length push rods, some do not. Most of
the Healey mstr cyls. are more or less interchangeable or have been. Without
free play the fluid return port is blocked and the brakes will pretty
quickly lock up until the pressure is released. Often the difference in a
PITA problem or not is the thickness of the firewall shims..

 Worn clevis pins and/or ovalized pedal assemblies may be sufficient free
play to never have the problem show up.

As I recall the dash end of that bracket is secured to the dash with a 10/32
screw near the center of the bottom lip. Someone may correct me on that.
The lower end of the top assist springs are hooked into a tab which is
welded to the top of the inner sill just behind the door post. If you have
already painted everything securing said tabs each with a couple of sturdy
pop rivets is quite satisfactory.

Well, listers - After 54 years and 7 Healeys, I'm done. Always was puzzled
when I read notes similar to this one. How could anyone become tired of
Healeys? I understand now. Just sold my BN6 to a gent who I know will enjoy
it, and took its picture as it rolled down my driveway.
 Thank you, all you quirky owners of quirky cars. The list has been extremely
helpful, and also funny and entertaining. I think we are like-minded in many
ways. As a conservative  American and veteran, I've sensed a pro-American,
patriotic attitude in many of the letters. I appreciate that most of all. One
lister, after a few exchanges with me, said he'd pray for my son's acceptance
to the US Naval Academy. I'm sure it helped. Jake graduated last May and is in
flight training.
Time to move on. Happy Healeying - John Close

I finally broke down and ordered 4 of the Harbor Freight Mechanical Car
Dolleys -
http://www.harborfreight.com/1250-lb-capacity-mechanical-wheel-dolly-67287.h
tml 

to move my BJ8 around in my garage and give me more room.  I have had them
for a few months, but never seemed to put them together, as I wanted to have
the BJ8 ready to take out for a few rides when the sun was out before it
became too cold in New York to take it out.  Today I finally put them
together and was quite surprised on how well they performed. It was very
easy to push the BJ8 around in the garage and easy to change the direction.
I purchased them on sale for $59.00 each and the shipping was free.



I have no financial interest in Harbor Freight, but found the price very
reasonable and recommend them for anyone who wants to move their car around
in the garage without actually driving it.

Ok, don't hate me here.  There have been complaints about the HF dollies.
 For the dollies to work well, you need roller bearing casters, and I
believe these casters don't have roller bearings in them.  I suppose you
could purchase some proper casters, but be forewarned that it may require
alot of effort to move your car around with these.

Hi John -

Well, we're all sorry to see you go, but I understand that priorities
change....

  :(

Maybe you can think about getting a big comfy Jaguar Mk IX (like I did) for
those days you want a big bench seat, proper shock absorbers, and space
galore!

Cheers,

Alan

Hi Noel -

If you are a member of the Austin Counties Car Club in the UK, they have
these oversizes in their club spares.

I also suspect that Collector's Car Parts at Heathrow in the UK will
probably have them in there spares:

http://www.collectorscarparts-heathrow.co.uk/

My guess this would cost you around 25 quid or so.

<http://www.collectorscarparts-heathrow.co.uk/>I am sure if you check around
in your neck of the woods you should be able to find some as well.  The
usual AH suppliers probably won't have them.

Dear Alan,

 

I certainly could not hate you for bringing up a good point, as I agree a
lot of effort to move the car around is a bit counterproductive.  To my
surprise, the swivel portion of the wheels have ball bearings and the wheels
have roller element bearings on the wheel axel.  As I said previously, it
was easy to move around with very little effort.  I am not a big guy and
certainly not as strong as an ox.

Message-ID: <AANLkTinhLww=jMSp8Ehj7HNJ+mHcwLEYSwm242Lt-Jj9@mail.gmail.com>

I came across a couple of old boxes in the attic of 'stuff' from a Healey I
had about 3 years ago.  I was not able to contact the current owner, so I
thought I would put out a general request to see if anyone was interested.

Included:  Original Starter, fan blade, generator
New Parts:  lots of rubber stuff, and some interior replacement parts, brake
line kit.  Basically, a 2x2 box of tightly packed new parts from a list of
upgrades that didn't happen prior to selling the car.

Anyways, the hope is that there is someone in the Austin, Texas USA area
that has an interest and can come pick it up. Please send me a private
message if so.

Regards,
Andy

I have a set and my TR3A is sitting on them right now.  I have moved the car 
around a barn (no concrete floor) and moved a metal car port with them over 
dirt.   They work fine to me.

Yeah, That's been up there for awhile with no takers. I think it's Cliff
Byers Midlife Classic Books that's offering it for sale. I've seen them up for
real eBay auctions going for much less. Too bad I don't have any more to
sell.

Yup, in about the fourth printing (all the while refusing to let us revise 
anything), Motorbooks changed the cover to match their other How-To guides 
-- from what I heard, they never paid the photographer for that photo, 
either, just took it out of some of their old files.

Thanks for that Peter - by coincidence I've just finished reading Bill 
Boddy's history of Montlhery which describes this event - for the record, 
the 1 hour distances (miles) were:

Healey 100 (Ron Flockhart driving)    104.32
Riley Pathfinder R C Porter                108.03
MGA (stage II tune) John Gott           112.36
MGA (std tune?) Ken Wharton          102.54
Austin A90 Westminster John Gott   101.99
Wolseley 6/90 John Gott                   101.20

The Healey's run was in a gale with pouring rain. The Riley ran with the 
driver's wife and another couple on board, not a crash helmet or seat belt 
in sight.

The book is a good read despite many typos the result (say publishers 
Veloce) of an early attempt at OCR (the book is a reprint) The photo of a 
six cylinder Healey as the one involved in this event is not down to a typo 
though! I was taken by this bit too:

b
An interesting 1951 run was undertaken by H S F Hay, who, having taken part 
in the Le Mans twenty-four hour race in his Bentley Continental b
Cornicheb
 
saloon as part of a European holiday with his family, drove to the track 
(Montlhery) and put in an hour at cruising rpm. He covered 106.84 miles. The 
Bentley had not been touched after the Le Mans race and was carrying fifty 
gallons of fuel, five gallons of oil and a complete set of tools and 
equipment. Not even the tyres had been changedb


Way to go!

Cheers

Peter

Message-ID: <COL121-W31DCCD5C5D9560E99EF585A4240@phx.gbl>

 Moss is out of water pumps until late December. I need to move my Healey
about 200 feet, the last bit up an incline. The bad water pump has been
removed and the coolant drained.  Will I endanger the car driving it this way?
Engine on two minutes or less. Or should I warm up the car for 30 seconds or
so? Other option is to get two or three people pushing but the ground is icy.
For driving I can sand a track for the drive wheel. Last option would be to
put the bad one back on and refill with coolant.  Any suggestions?

I do not think there is any problem in driving the car 200 feet without water.
I 
would not let it warm uo but turn it on and then drive it for the 200 -500
feet 
you need... as long as it doesnt turn into 200-500 miles...

Rich,  to run the motor that short time will not be a problem It will  
not heat up enough to cause any problems. Just make sure everything  
is clear of the crankshaft pulley.

Message-ID: <SNT143-w20BE1030E669451B2CD988D4240@phx.gbl>

With all the talk about non-ethanol fuel, I decided to drain my fuel tank in
the 1957 today.  I don't drive the 1957 over the winter very much so the fuel
will remain unused for a few months.  I connected a 3 foot rubber fuel line to
the output on the front float bowl and and let the fuel pump, pump it into a
fuel can.  Once the pump started sucking air I gave the car a few shakes to
get the last bits of fuel.  Thinking there would be some fuel left in the
bottom of the tank, I removed the drain bolt with a drain pan handy.  To my
surprise I only got maybe a "baby food jar" sized amount of fuel.  I even
stuck a screw driver through the drain hole to make sure it wasn't just
clogged.
I was very surprised that the fuel tank/ pump actually sucks almost all the
fuel out of the tank when it runs dry.  Now I am going to put some non-ethanol
fuel in for the winter.

I'm glad this came up. I have been struggling with this for some time. I
would like your thoughts.

>From time to time I want to buy on eBay. Right now I'm perusing a good price
on a phone that lists for $129. . There are plenty of Buy It Nows, but they
are more than the list price. The highest being $200.The ;more sophisticated
model is 179.95

I'll probably get them from Amazon for $102.49 in their special sale.

Here is my problem. Are these being priced by ignorance or greed? Greed in
hoping someone will buy without knowing the price, ignorance in not knowing
what they have. I must admit I haven't followed the higher prices to see if
anyone buys them.

Opinions?

I paid $40.00 USD for mine. I did a google search fro the ISBDN # and came
up with a book seller that a few in stock. Sorry do not recall who it was. I
also found the Clausenger book for around the same price from Powell's books
here in Portland, OR I posted a request on their web site and a month or so
latter I got an email telling me they found one.

As I said earlier, I have purchased a couple and paid around $30-35.  Got them
both on ebay, so perhaps patience will do it.  Or perhaps Amazon will locate a
source at the right price.

Gang,
OK, I went for it.  To get to the bracket inside the mirror which holds the
adjustable ball end of the stem in place I had to remove the glass from the
back.  It was held on with some sort of aging glue.  I plan on re-gluing it
with few dabs of silicone.
Thanks
Greg

I've had pretty good luck with STABIL over the years, in one case having my
BN1 sit 18 months.  Started on first try, mixed in some fresh gas and then
drove for a good 300 miles before parking it again for another 12 months...
repeat.

When using eBay or Craigs List or any of the others, caveat emptor. There
are many honest sellers but there are also many who prey on the ignorance of
their buyers.

I'm glad this came up. I have been struggling with this for some time. I
would like your thoughts.

>From time to time I want to buy on eBay. Right now I'm perusing a good
>price
on a phone that lists for $129. . There are plenty of Buy It Nows, but they
are more than the list price. The highest being $200.The ;more sophisticated
model is 179.95

I'll probably get them from Amazon for $102.49 in their special sale.

Here is my problem. Are these being priced by ignorance or greed? Greed in
hoping someone will buy without knowing the price, ignorance in not knowing
what they have. I must admit I haven't followed the higher prices to see if
anyone buys them.

Opinions?

Ira,

I agree, I usually buy NOS # 420196 points for 100s at about the same price,
and sometimes a bit more.  The high end price wise is usually about $12.00 a
set

That's because the pickup pipe for the fuel is located in the bottom of the
tank in the drainage pan recess, meaning if you run the fuel out with the
fuel pump there will be very little if any fuel left in the tank.

Try going up a steep hill when the gas is low.  Although you can suck the 
fuel out with the car level, steep hills move the gas to the back of the 
tank and the car will sputter.   My first thought was , the nearest gas 
station was 15 miles away.   Once back on semi level ground, the car had 
enough gas to get me there.

That's because the pickup pipe for the fuel is located in the bottom of the
tank in the drainage pan recess, meaning if you run the fuel out with the
fuel pump there will be very little if any fuel left in the tank.

Yes, but surprised how little of fuel is actually left.  Would have thought
there would be a bit more.

I'm puzzled by the post. Moss isn't the only one who sells Healey parts. To
start with David Nock who's responses to questions on the  list are based on
years of experience, also carries new and used parts. Just Google British
Car Specialists.

Also Healey Surgeons specializes in only Healey parts. I have ordered parts
from both of them and they are super.

George,
You have a point but not a wholly defensible one.  Sure, the market might
bear some outlandish prices like the one suggested by the seller, but, it
should not be that way for the good of most people. What I mean is, the
motivation to charge so much beyond what is reasonable and fair is
nothing but greed gone rampant. We see it everywhere, you must admit
that.  Sure, some poor sap may buy that product but it does not make it
right to charge high prices when they are not justified.  No one is
forcing anyone to buy that product, you are correct.  But, the motivation
for an individual to ask such a high price is nothing more than over
profiteering.  It is too bad that people today must resort to this over
pricing tactic.  If buyers would start to put prices upon their items
that were fair and honest, just think how that would start to change the
economy? Instead of greed and profit only motivation, buyers and sellers
would begin to trust each other, maybe for the first time.

That's a pretty nifty compact lift you have there, is that a motorcycle
lift?  I guess you would not be able to use it if the exhaust was on the

Message-ID: <BAY147-w7D8E548B0C03189770F03B8250@phx.gbl>

I was driving down a road that I drive down regularly, when I noticed a
residential garage with dual doors and one door was open.  I don't believe
that I had ever seen that door open before and I was amazed at what I saw.
So, I did a lot of shoulder checking to see if I could see what was on the
other side.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  I can't remember the last time I've
seen an empty garage except for new construction.

A quick search on Abebooks found five copies ranging from $242.45 to
$1308.54US.  The two lowest prices of 242.45 and 249.95 were from the
Goodwill of San Francisco and the Friends of the Phoenix Public Library
respectively. The latter is a library discard.

Go figure.

Gentlemen,

Welcome to America and the law of supply and demand.

BTW I have a first edition, first printing, mint condition one signed by
both Gary and Roger, and as a special bonus I'll sign it too as chairman of
the Concours committee.

Special offer for today only.... just $1,500 ;-^)

Cheers,

Curt

At the rate the book is increasing in value my plan is to just wait 
another year or two and sell
the book.   Then I'll just buy a restored car with the proceeds....

Dallas,

I think the law of supply and demand still applies since I don't see anyone
buying these books at the asking price.   They are not flying off the selves
at these prices, and who knows if any have sold.  Give it time and the price
will go down, or of course there could be another printing and the price
will definitely go down.

Of course someone could just order the Concours Guidelines for $20.

Curt

Hi Guys,

          If you have a Facebook account I am asking for a favor.  A 
friend's company is doing a challenge to their employees to see how many 
hits they can get for a contest that whomever gets the most hits for their 
charity, that the charity will get a $1000 gift from the company.  My friend 
is trying to raise money for the New Hampshire food bank.  NH Food Bank 
donations are way down this year and with the high unemployment the need is 
way up.

This doesn't cost a cent, just a moment of your time to help.  Just click on 
link below.

It might be better to let Richard know.  Of course, sending him an email
probably wouldn't help as he might not have access to it.  If he does, he'll
eventually read his submissions and ...

I have one of the original prints as well as one of Clausangers book  
that have never been sold they have both been sitting in a plastic  
bag put away for  many years.

Possibly an e bay thing like the 3 speed gear knob a while back.

Any bidders.

This is the latest in "spam output". It appears that if you download something
from a company such as this, it goes into your "email contacts" and sends it
thru them. I have had two friends have this happen to them. Needless to say,
one was on viagra and the other was from a Canadian Pharmacy. Everyone on
their contact list got spammed repeatedly from these companies! Also it was
extremely embarrassing for them as we really kidded them on their iinterests.

Sorry Fellows,
Downloaded a piece of software to create multi session cd's. my virus
software said it was a Trogendownloader:win32/renosHL,DZ & DY in the windows
Temp Directory. Found it when I did a scan, but that was after the fact. It
must of hijacked my Outlook contacts.You just can' t trust anything you get
off the internet.
Again, sorry for the inconvience.

Thanks for your comment, it is spot on. I don't know of a single religion
which preaches "cheat thy neighbor".

Star Treck had the Ferengi as a parody of that kind of thinking.

I have my first edition that Gary and Roger signed and handed me. It's in
the shop and becoming rather well worn with constant references as work is
carried out, along with my yearly updated Guidelines done off in paper form
for quick and constant reference.
One can't have too many tools in the workshop and these are two of the most

This is why I have to copies (one was a give) The first is fully signed by
both Gary and Roger and stays in my den and the second is in the garage with
the rest of the working books. Now the problem is, which to sell -- the
pristine signed one or the well used one which I could sell as an antique
because of  the aging proving that it is a rare and valuable book.

Can we move on 

Just look at the prices of cars 

U.S. retail price (FOB, East Coast) for a 1964 Austin Healey BJ8 was only
$3,535

And how much do we sell them for now?

It's the same thing supply and demand

Hey All,

While I really don't want to offend anyone, I have to state that I'm
really tired of this topic.

I don't care that you have the book and got it signed, etc. etc. etc.
and bought it for 20.00 when it came out. It's out of print. I'm
actually annoyed to hear people whining about something they bought
going up in value. I mean seriously, if our cars all suddenly
appreciated that much there'd be untold glee on this mailing list.

I, unlike many of you, do not own this book. I've been looking for a
reasonably priced copy for 3 years now to no avail. Every time I hear
a rumor of a reprint I get giddy, but at current prices I simply can't
justify the expense when I should be buying parts.

So, be glad that you have the book and didn't have to spend a million
dollars to get it.

Jody

Right on Jody!  By the way, you sure have a nice stable as indicated
below! You did not offend me; personally I think that to pay such
exorbitant prices for some of these items probably borders on being daft.

Ok now what can be done.  If I go to my mail server and put Mr. Pratt in the
Spam list
will that take all my Autox. team mail with it or just Mr. Pratts junkola.

Any suggestions from the computer savvy amongst us?

First of all, I hope this doesn't start a flame war.  I'm a retired Software
Engineer and Oracle DBA with countless hours on Windows PCs and other
platforms so I feel qualified to comment because of my diverse experience with
many different computer operating systems. (I know, big deal :) I also
recognize that others with the same experience may not agree with me.

Second of all, this will be my only post to the list on this subject.

When it's time to buy your next computer you may want to ***consider*** a Mac.
Needless to say, your choice is easy if you depend on software available only
on Windows. However, if that's not the case, go to an Apple store and check
out the Mac laptops and iMacs. Macs are remarkably virus free. Most Mac users
never use virus checkers --- the people that do are usually those recently
switched from Windows.

A common argument why Macs are virus free is that the community is not large
enough for hackers to bother with. That may or may not be true. If true then
moving out of a neighborhood riddled with drug dealers, hookers and drive-bys
would not be worthwhile since it would only be a matter of time before that
quiet and safe rural community would be crime ridden as well.

Note, Note, Note!!! All I am saying here is consider a Mac for your next
purchase. This may be your escape from viruses.

BTW, I would be happy to answer any questions about a Mac, OFF LIST of
course.

I find myself concurring with Al. I'm also starting to like those
Ipads for casual internet use. I'd use one at home if I didn't need
the Visual Studio programming environment (PC only).

I'm a Software Architect for a major corporation, so I have a similar
technical background.

Hi  John

I removed the pumpkin, made a cover out of some ali plate I had luying around,
and also turned 2 bungs out of nylon for the axle ends, to keep the shotblast
grit out. Powder coated a treat.

cheers Andy
