I also plan to dismantle the asbestos parts. But how can I do this without risk? Do you have experience? I even don't know where to look for asbestos parts. There is one part on the firewall, another part might be between exhaust and floor. Are there further parts?

Since the asbestos sheets in the Healey are hard packed, the airborne risk with them is extremely low, as long as you aren't breaking the sheets or throwing them around. If you are worried, you can wear a disposable face mask (your hardware store should have them) when removing the sheets from your car. The only other asbestos on the car is in the brake pads if they are old ones made before the 1990s. Again, very low risk to handle them.

Spray the asbestos with a solution of PVC water based glue to hold the fibres intact, remove carefully and place in a sealed plastic bag. A mask is good practice. NOTE; original brakes and the dust from the linings is a similar risk which should be avoided. Wetting with water to prevent the particles from becoming airborn is another process. Too much water and the sheet will break easily, too little and you have the risk of dust. The asbestos cannot be removed from the lung lining once inhaled. I believe that old style toll gate money collectors were considered to be in a high risk situation.

You can see a video of it at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHnuW8AI-FE The Daimler passes me on the downhill and we have a good dice for several laps--I am a bit faster through the corners and can outbrake him but my 1220 cc engine cannot keep up with the V-8 on the straights. Nevertheless the Daimler handles quite well for a relatively large car. The race ended with my crashing heavily into a tire wall when a right front control arm breaks suddenly. Lots of damage to my car but no injury. BTW the car in the video was powered by the original engine--I can only imagine how fast the one on ebay would be! Though head-on a Daimler SP 250 is somewhat ideosynchratic the car's overall tough appearance is in keeping with its nature.

Obviously this one made it. I need to rewrite the blurb I did about posting. One of the most common is that people can't figure out that to send mail to healeys at autox.team.net you send to healeys at autox.team.net. Keep an eye on where your replies, as well as new messages are going. Another problem is not editing your replies. Many mailers include the original message in the reply and that can put the message over the list's size limit. It really isn't that difficult to highlight and delete the parts that don't need to be seen again. Keep in mind that *you* are not a member of the list, but your *email address* is. If you subscribed as workerbot at heartless.com but you send mail from another account like kloolys at random.net your mail will be held as a non-member submission. What I really ought to do is come up with a nice FAQ page to add to the links below so that folks can easily get some details on how this all works. Yep, RealSoonNow. mjb.

I need advice on setting up the engine mounts. I've read the archives and Alan Bromfield's engine mount PDF (with great pictures and diagrams) on John Sims's site. Bromfield suggests setting the gap between the rubber buffers at 1/22 of an inch (.8mm) and trimming them at the right angle to fit where they meet. (The gap now is 3/8 inch on 1 side and about 5/8 on the other.) 2 questions: has anyone had experience with this particular set up and adjustment?

It is the workshop manual that says the clearance should be 1/22". This limits any sideways rocking of the engine. Straightforward assembly using the mounting rubber blocks provided today creates the crazy gap you are finding. It also causes the engine to be carried about 1/2" too high with air filter clearance problems and perhaps potential collision between the top of the carbs and the underside of the hood. I slotted the bolt holes to set the gap correctly and haven't had any problems. On 2 December 2011 12:44, Thomas J.

Fiber glass is large enough that it will in almost all cases be filtered out by your natural immune system, caught in mucous and expelled in phlegm. Asbestos on the other hand is so small, so sharp and so resistant to degradation that it can be carried all the way into the alveoli in the lungs, where it can implant itself and never be expelled. As a foreign body it causes irritation, immune responses and eventually cancerous changes. That is asbestosis. It is also small enough to penetrate the lung and imbed in the lining of the thoracic cavity, where it can cause another form of cancer called mesotheleoma. On the other hand chances of exposures which cause a high degree of risk are small if you take precautions such as wearing a respirator rated for asbestos, some clothing you might be ready to dispose of and wet the material before removing it with water and a surfactant (soap or water wetter) and transfer it to a plastic bag (double bagging is a good idea) and seal it. Removal is fairly simple, as you can see, disposal is another problem and is probably regulated by local authorities. It's been 25 years since I received truing on this topic, so there may be some errors in my post attributable to technological advances or incipient alzheimers...

Based on a report by Graeme Hurst of Classic & Sports Car, NOJ 393 was bought by a Continental collector at the auction after the collector went against another bidder on the floor, and one on the phone, to secure the car. The buyer indicated that the car would be restored in the UK. Now there is a rumour that NOJ 393 has sold again to Australia for #1.2m or $1,885,000US [using the same exchange rate].

Scott Morris Sent: Monday, 5 December 2011 10:16 AM To: Austin Healey Subject: [Healeys] NOJ 393 at Bonhams Auction STOP PRESS: The Austin Healey '100' Special Test Car, NOJ 393, sold for #843,000 or $1,324,000US inclusive of buyer's premium, at Bonhams auction on Thursday. Based on a report by Graeme Hurst of Classic & Sports Car, NOJ 393 was bought by a Continental collector at the auction after the collector went against another bidder on the floor, and one on the phone, to secure the car. The buyer indicated that the car would be restored in the UK. Now there is a rumour that NOJ 393 has sold again to Australia for #1.2m or $1,885,000US [using the same exchange rate]. If true, what a quick buck to make.

They can't be interchanged. I suspect the BN1/2 adapters are just more rare, hence more $$$. We were baffled by these for awhile, but I finally took a hammer to one. If you look at the adapters, they appear to be sealed. There is a 'disk' a little larger than a nickel on the side of the adapter body opposite the collar that connects the adapter to the O/D, and a smaller one opposite the 'output shaft' that connects to the speedo cable. Both these disks are interference, press-in fits. You can pop the big one out by gently tapping the 'input shaft' on the O/D side while bracing the adapter on a vise. Then, you can pop the smaller one out by tapping on the 'output shaft' on the speedo cable side (assemble in reverse order). These two disks act as thrust washers for a small spiral gear driven by the O/D, and a smaller worm gear driven by the spiral gear which drives the speedo cable (since it's a right angle drive there are side and end loads; in a way it's like a spiral/bevel differential, but reversed). Once apart, clean everything, grease or oil lightly then reassemble. You can gently tap the disk-shaped thrust washers/caps back into place. If they don't fit too snugly you can punch the center of the disk a little--like setting a freeze plug--and/or put a little JB Weld around the edge to make a good seal. You may bunge up the shafts a little, but you can file out the peined-over part. There might be some other pieces in there so watch for them when disassembling (but I don't recall any). One of ours had a lot of wear on one of the shafts, but we were able to substitute from the donor. Make sure the gears mesh easily; I suspect different gear ratios were used and yours might not be the same.

He was 56 years old. Mark was our biggest supporter at Conclave 2010 and without his sponsorship we could not have put on the kind of highly regarded Conclave that we did. His place at the center of the car show presented the type of high level Healey restoration work that he and his company did. The 100S tribute car was one of the last major projects he finished. Along with the presentation of his own silver 100 concept car, he was hoping to gain a more national exposure for his company. His company is carrying on in his stead with the over two-year backlog of work. He is greatly missed by his family, friends, customers, and fellow club members.

Fwd: Engineering 101 - Finding Packaging tech solutions..... Message-ID: <4EE55788.50008@justbrits.com> *submitted by Bill B.of Atascadero, CA:* Cost Effective Engineering Solution A toothpaste factory had a problem: they sometimes shipped empty boxes, without the tube inside. This was due to the way the production line was set up, and people with experience in designing production lines will tell you how difficult it is to have everything happen with timings so precise that every single unit coming out of it is perfect 100% of the time. Small variations in the environment (which can not be controlled in a cost-effective fashion) mean you must have quality assurance checks smartly distributed across the line so that customers all the way down to the supermarket don't get angry and buy another product instead. Understanding how important that was, the CEO of the toothpaste factory got the top people in the company together and they decided to start a new project, in which they would hire an external engineering company to solve their empty boxes problem, as their engineering department was already too stretched to take on any extra effort. The project followed the usual process: budget and project sponsor allocated, RFP, third-parties selected, and six months (and $8 million) later they had a fantastic solution - on time, on budget, high quality and everyone in the project had a great time. They solved the problem by using high-tech precision scales that would sound a bell and flash lights whenever a toothpaste box would weigh less than it should. The line would stop, and someone had to walk over and yank the defective box out of it, pressing another button when done to re-start the line. A while later, the CEO decides to have a look at the ROI of the project: amazing results! No empty boxes ever shipped out of the factory after the scales were put in place. Very few customer complaints, and they were gaining market share. "That's some money well spent!" he says, before looking closely at the other statistics in the report. It turns out, the number of defects picked up by the scales was 0 after three weeks of production use. It should have been picking up at least a dozen a day, so maybe there was something wrong with the report. He filed a bug against it, and after some investigation, the engineers come back saying the report was actually correct. The scales really weren't picking up any defects, because all boxes that got to that point in the conveyor belt were good. Puzzled, the CEO travels down to the factory, and walks up to the part of the line where the precision scales were installed. A few feet before the scale, there was a $20 desk fan, blowing the empty boxes off of the belt and into a trash bin. "Oh, that,"? says one of the workers"one of the guys put it there 'cause he was tired of having to walk over every time the bell rang"!!

[copy attached will be stripped from list] According to the article, the owner of the trophy was seeking to reunite it with the Austin Healey 100 Jackie Cooper ran in the 1954 Lockbourne AFB races.

You will have to find a method of stopping the top felt bush sliding down the new tube. First tin the last inch of tube with soft solder using a gas torch very lightly. Use Liberal amounts of solder flux in the housing. Housing in a vice tube hole side up. Sit the tube on the hole and carefully heat the outside of the housing until the tube slides in under it's own weight. Then run a little extra solder around the joint to finish off.

However, if you plan on powder coating the box and tube or even if not, use silver solder because it has a higher melting point. The higher the better because regular solder and powder coating are done at about 400 degrees F. Don't get things too hot, keep everything clean and use lots of flux.

Then when re installing you need to tin both the box and tube. The heat after re installing heat the box and sweat the two together. The put a small bead of black silicone around the joint to seal.

Bend tube about 70 degrees. Rotate duct 180 degrees, bend duct to straight and then on to about 70 degrees. While you're doing this you will notice the "corrugations" are getting further apart. Continue to manipulate the duct in various locations until you reach your desired length. Stay away from the ends of the duct. This only works on new ducts. Once their dried out all bets are off.

Now, it's the victim of one. In recent weeks, thousands of consumers and companies have reported that they've had suspicious emails, purportedly from the BBB. The emails include attachments or links that, if opened, could give online thieves access to personal or business computers.

When Donald or Geoff were in town I would often take them on the boat and usually got to test drive or ride the latest Healey or BMC product. But although a car guy, I never owned one for various reasons. Ed was also my son's godfather and a longtime family friend. About 5 years ago I was asked to go look at a "barnfind" Healey and when the deal didn't happen I did some research and bought it for myself. I did it primarily because of nostalgic reasons from my "youth" but also doing some track time and back country road driving against and with other Marques the Healeys were always the ones I admired. So that's my story of my BN7 sitting in the garage cooling down from a short spin down a few country roads of southern KY today.

A neighbor got a big Healey that was striking in red over black(or was it the otherwayaround),but I didn't see it much and then we moved. I turned 16 in 1966 and took my drivers test in my sisters' Spitfire. Shortly therafter, I was looking through a Road and Track at the drugstore when I came upon an ad for the Austin Healey 3000 MKIII. Again struck by its beauty, I went over to the dealer on the east side of Madison and they had a red one in the showroom. I didn't know how I was going to get one of these but I was going to get one. The following june I paid $600. for a 1958 100/6 MM.

There are a couple advertising pictures of this top running around, looks "cool" but that's about as far as it goes.

Maybe this will help explain it. At Conclave in Colorado Springs this year, I entered my BN1 in the Economy Run event. I was by myself. Traffic was very light, the route scenic and it was quiet. The Healey was running smooth; it didn't miss a beat in spite of the altitude. And I thought how lucky I was to be driving a very beautiful fifty one year old sports car in this place. Donald and his boys, especially Gerry Coker did well.

The rubber draws the Vaseline in as it thaws. The process may also work in protecting rubber generally.

Back in about 1969 I was a car mad cadet laboratory tech and one of the blokes in the lab owned a hot FJ Holden that I thought was the greatest thing. That was until he took me up to the local shopping centre one lunch time to meet a mate of his (Kerry Horgan the local pharmacist) who owned a Healey 100. Parked outside the chemist shop was the BRG Canberra Speed Shop BN1 which apart from Helen Tregea in haematology, was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. I vowed then and there to own a Big Healey and as I was earning about $17 per week it was a pipe dream. However I finally managed to buy a 100-Six in a bucket from Carl Stecher and despite my poor prospects and propensity to waste money on old cars also married Helen.

As a young teen, a black-and-gold 100/6 would pass by my house on its way to visit a neighbor. I love a convertible, and this one looked fabulous (in spite of its colors) and sounded even better. When I heard it was for sale, I bought it and did my first restoration. I changed the color to BRG, and stitched up some white Naugahyde seats (hey, it was the 60s). With its black hardtop, it was a nice 20 footer.

Those are the best. If in a humid or rainy climate, I would only use the car-bag and if not, I would NOT use a car cover and park on concrete. Car needs to either be completely sealed, or it needs to breathe freely. Most car covers do inbetween which is bad for corrosion.

I also put two containers of "Damp Rid" dehumidifying chemical on the floors before sealing up the bubble. http://www.carcapsule.com/ The bubble plastic is EXTREMELY durable and I never once had any issues whatsoever.

At the time that I rebuild/recovered my original seats, it seemed like I was almost sitting on the floor. In fact, I had added some thin foam, and maybe even a layer or two of towel, to raise me up a bit. When I redid the seats, sitting on the new foam put my eyes even with the top of the windshield. Not good. However, I did not disassemble the seat and drill the holes as suggested. As I continued to drive the car, the seat gradually sank to a lower position and at this point is quite satisfactory. If your wife's foam is new, I would suggest waiting until she has driven it for a while. The foam may compress and make the seat more comfortable. I think that cutting the holes too soon may speed up the process where it is too soft and too low. No matter what you do, the foam will change with use.

Unfortunately the car blew a head gasket and did not start the race, but if you check out our website http://www.healeysport.org/ri_syd_segal_June%2010.htm there is a report of the race, a picture of the car in the paddock on the gallery page and also in-car video footage of the event. I have the low-res picture that is on the website and may well be able to obtain the hi-res version of the same if you would like it. Hope this helps.

I neglected my Bugeye (too long since I started it - yes, I know better!), and now when the ignition is switched on the SU pump clicks like crazy, but it is not drawing fuel. Tank is almost full, so I am not out of gas! I am wondering if I need to somehow prime the pump to get it going. If so, what is the recommended procedure. Alternatively, do I have another problem? New pump required? It is a solid state SU pump, not points. I replaced the mechanical pump original to the Bugeye long ago. Thanks for your thoughts and recommendations would be appreciated.

I neglected my Bugeye (too long since I started it - yes, I know better!), and ow when the ignition is switched on the SU pump clicks like crazy, but it is ot drawing fuel. Tank is almost full, so I am not out of gas! I am wondering if I need to somehow prime the pump to get it going. If so, what s the recommended procedure. Alternatively, do I have another problem? New pump equired? It is a solid state SU pump, not points. I replaced the mechanical ump original to the Bugeye long ago.

Several people suggested blowing into the fuel tank. I tried that since it was the easiest thing to do, but alas no joy. I have a clear plastic fuel filter between the pump and the tank and so I can see that no fuel is flowing into the pump. As suggested, probably air in the line for some reason?? In a day or two I will jack it up and disconnect the fuel line at the tank and see if that helps. Again, thanks to everyone. Happy Holidays!!!!

And isn't one of the commonest causes of this a bad connection at the pump (where the fuel line enters)? This happened on my BT7. I think the thread on the pump body was pretty well shot (another common thing) and the sealant gloop had dried out. PTFE tape is a good sealant as long as the surplus doesn't get into the system.

Here's wishing you all a healthy, happy, Healey New Year! My wife and I were spending a few days at the Hotel Peabody in Memphis last week. The in-room magazine (Preferred Lifestyles, Vol. VII, Issue 2, page 61) has a small photo illustrating the Allison Inn & Spa in Newberg, Oregon that features a Big Healey. The picture is too small to see clearly, but with a magnifying glass I can tell it's apparently a 100-Six. Healey Blue over White. Anyone know the story?

Managing Director Charles Morgan said the 100-year-old company has created a model that will stand out from the crowd in Asian showrooms. That's partly because the M3W is hand-built, wood-framed and based on a 50-year-old design - and mainly because it has three wheels. "Try to sell a Ferrari and you're up against Lamborghini, the Audi R8, Lotus, McLaren," he said. "Send a Morgan three-wheeler there and they'll know the difference." Morgan, known for retro designs harking back to the England of local composer Edward Elgar, is betting on the M3W to spur Asian demand as slowing economies crimp European and U.S. sales. The company said it has been approached by 20 potential Chinese dealers this year for the $39K successor to a series of three-wheel models it stopped making in 1952. Other top-end automakers are also targeting China, where luxury sales may jump 39 percent in 2011 to 939,000, surpassing Germany as the No. 2 market after the United States, said Jenny Gu, an analyst at research firm LMC Automotive. British sports-car brand Lotus, a unit of Malaysia's Proton Holdings Bhd, added its first Beijing dealership in October, even as Chinese consumer demand is forecast to slow as the economy grows less quickly. Founded by Charles Morgan's grandfather, Morgan said the company seeks to create a sense of "automotive theater" around its models. "Products that combine design and authenticity are very attractive to the connoisseur, and Morgan appeals to somebody who wants those real materials," Morgan said in an interview at the company's base in Malvern Link. The family-owned company has chosen to remain a niche manufacturer and avoided overreaching to chase higher volumes, he said, something that led to the collapse of other British carmakers. The M3W, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March, has just entered production with a backlog of 800 orders and reaches dealers next year. The open-top two-seater is powered by a 2-liter Harley Davidson motorcycle engine made by S&S Cycle Inc. of Wisconsin, and will reach 60 miles per hour in 4.5 seconds before topping out at 125 mph, all at 50 miles to the gallon. Morgan said it is targeting 1,500 deliveries in 2012, half from the three-wheeler; it said it expects to sell almost 1,000 this year, including 100 M3Ws. The model joins four-wheeled designs that include AeroMax, which has a 367 horsepower V8 engine and can reach 170 mph, and the "Classic" range of 1930s-styled roadsters. "They're moving a little bit more toward the 21st century while retaining an extremely large dose of nostalgia to ensure that their products remain unique," said Andrew Jackson, an analyst at Datamonitor in London. "It'll certainly produce an interesting offering for China, where there seems to be quite an appetite for vehicles with a strong brand identity." The company will open its first Chinese dealers in Beijing and Shanghai next year and will also offer the three-wheeler via a Harley Davidson outlet in Hong Kong with the aim of selling at least 50 cars in the first year and 150 after three. The push in emerging economies amounts to a "contingency plan" for coping with the weakness of traditional markets, with sales slow in the States and "worse than flat" in Europe, said Morgan, 60, who joined the firm in 1986, when it was making 450 cars a year, after 10 years as a TV cameraman specializing in war reports. He succeeded his father Peter as chief in 1999. "At least in China and India you know they've got money," he said. "We've got a dealer in Greece, but I don't think we've sold a car this year. If Greece expands into Italy, into Spain, into France, then we've got problems. Europe is on its knees and anything could happen. People could just stop buying." Morgan is also counting on the M3W to spur sales in the United States, where it will be sold as a motorized tricycle to avoid a car import license. The sales pitch to China will play on Morgan's Englishness and dedication to traditional craftsmanship. Ash frames, which the company said are best at absorbing energy, are built by carpenters at a site across the road from that founder Henry Frederick Stanley Morgan established in 1909, a mile from the house where Elgar wrote the Enigma Variations a decade earlier. The company contracts tasks it's not expert at, Morgan said, sourcing engines from Bayerische Motoren Werke AG and Ford Motor Co. and gearboxes from Mazda Motor Corp., as well airbags and brakes from Continental AG and Robert Bosch GmbH. "A product like the AeroMax or the three-wheeler has an immediate visual appeal," Morgan said. "Some would argue that they're really beautiful. And unlike most cars that are interesting for six months, when you come back from paying for the petrol the interest remains." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 2011 SF Chronicle NOTE: There was a picture attached, It may be seen at: http://www.justbrits.com/morgan/Morgans.jpg From: Rick Feibusch Automotive Historian & Appraiser, So.

I appreciate the kind words. I will admit that over the last 20 some years of doing this there are times *I* get tired of it, but the feeling usually passes quickly. Especially when people voice their appreciation, or like one subscriber to both this list and MGs who just sent a check to my PO Box - just in time to pay the Team.Net ISP for next month.

Especially when people voice their appreciation, or like one subscriber to both this list and MGs who just sent a check to my PO Box - just in time to pay the Team.Net ISP for next month. Thanks to all of you who enjoy the lists. mjb.
