Well, it hit 52 degrees today so I took my Beauty out for a drive. Since the
streets are loaded with salt, sand and, in places slush, the drive consisted
of going down my driveway and backing up several times. Since my driveway is
about 70 feet long, I got a nice ride, the engine warmed up to proper
operating temperature and purred like a kitten. Now as we enter into real
winter, it is time to put it up on stands, kick in the garage heater and
perform some much needed maintenance.

Happy New Year everyone!

Alan,

Here are some pictures of my tool kit and a link to an MG site that
published my article.  Apparently an MG guy I talked to about tools included
my article on Blackening tools on his website...

Alan,

I believe my Article is on John Sims website but if not here's a copy along
with my BN1 tool kit where I restored all of the tools.  I've been using
this system for almost 20 years with great success.  This system also works
well on Whitworth fasteners since they were originally finished this way,
also the steel parts on the 100 carburetors.

Here's a link to a website with my article

Cheers,

Curt

But first, Happy New Year to all. This list is a truly great resource
for all of us. Hard to find this kind of selflessness anymore.

Searching through the archive took me to the GGAHC site with a pic
that seems to show that the red wire from the NAPA (GM) alternator
going to the the back of the alternator and connecting to the alt.
terminal there and then with a yellow wire on the same terminal going
to the terminal on the (soon to be former) regulator. Is that what I
am actually seeing? Also, in looking at the various pics of this NAPA
(GM) alternator, there seem to be differences in the attitude of the
alt. Seems to be twisted one way in some photos, differently in
others. The way that mine is mounting, the "plug" or spade terminals
are at the bottom. Does this make any difference?

Message-ID: <AANLkTimgWSzeL4iDtvEz8DaApG3txD2eWZYYvEeqnyU7@mail.gmail.com>

Hello Listers,

I am in need for some 100 parts to help some friends restoring their 100s,
an early BN1 and a BN2.

I would like to find an original BN1 adjustable steering wheel collar
locking knob.  As I remember, these are slightly different from the
six-cylinder ones.  This is a long shot I but have to ask.

Either a 1953 dated horn or the brass ID plate dated in '53 since it's
detachable.

A speedometer reset knob, this is a knurled knob on a 2 inch long tightly
wound stiff spring shaft.  I have pictures of what this looks like if
needed.

Anyone out there restoring their car and replacing all of the hardware with
modern buts, bolts and screws?  If so we'd be interested in any good spare
fasteners, and please, no buckets/coffee cans of bolts sitting around for
10+ years with rain water filling half the can.  Especially interested in
any good suspension fasteners both UNF and BSF.  100s and 100-6s preferred,
since that later cars had an "S" strength rating code on the head versus and
"R" on the early cars.

The main portion of a BN1 two piece dash, we already have the detachable
instrument cluster section.

A good rebuildable fuel gauge for a 100 (the needle must be in good
condition) for a Concours car.

And as always... any broken control heads (trafficators-horn button turn
signal switches) or parts.

Thanks,

Curt

Bob and List,

It has the side mirrors mounted in a very unique way that I have not 
seen before.

BTW This is the brokerage e-mail newsletter where I again found my very 
first Healey and bought it back. I purchased "Green Car" in 1972 and 
foolishly sold it in 1998. A few months ago I saw it on this Kent 
newsletter and bought it back privately from the same gentleman I sold 
it to 12 years ago. It was a nice homecoming!

I just helped a friend with this on an MGB yesterday.
Here is a good website with info about GM alternators and how to wire them
http://www.alternatorparts.com/FAQ.htm#how_to_wire
Here is the Reader's Digest condensed version.
The two spade terminals on the back of the alternator are # 1 (left side
looking at alternator from the rear with the spades facing up) and #2 (right
side same conditions)
Wire the #1 to the ignition warning light So that when the key is turned on,
voltage flows through the bulb to the alternator where, when the engine is
not running, it will be grounded and the light lit, this voltage from the
bulb will supply the excitation current to excite the alternator and turn it
on when the engine starts.  Once the alternator starts to put out voltage
the bulb loses it ground, and the ignition warning light goes out.
With the #2 terminal, you have a choice.  you may either leave it empty or
connect it to the main BAT terminal on the back of the alternator.  It will
work either way.
No the alternator does not care if it is right side up or not.  Nor does it
matter which way it spins.
You do have to modify the voltage regulator box when you install an
alternator.  You need to install a heavy wire shunt between the terminals
connected to the battery and the heavy lead running to the BAT terminal on
the back of the alternator. (terminal B to terminal D on an MGB).  I did
this by soldering a #8 wire on the back side of the voltage regulator.  This
wire needs to be a very heavy gauge wire as it carries the entire output of
the alternator to the battery.
Hope this helps,
Rick

I have these mirrors on my car - I like them a lot - no holes in the
fenders.  The brackets fit in the fit pillar hole.  On the off side you just
need to have a machinist make a simple extension.

Gary,

Yes,  it's all because of insensitive, politically incorrect folks like us
refuse to have our archaic, pollution belching old cars crushed and buy
Hybrids instead... or maybe not.  I say we tell the Chinese, Indians and the
rest of the emerging countries to to drive electric cars and I'll just keep
driving my Austin Healeysaurous ;-^)

They are all blind holes. A tip - when you install the studs, do not torque
them first as the factory manual suggests. Tighten all of the studs only
finger tight. When you torque the nuts, it will torque both the nuts and the
studs to the proper torque and it is a much better procedure.

Happy New Year benevolent listers!
 
Sadly, another year has now passed with my convertible top frame mounting  
brackets on the wheel houses still not in the correct positions, but .  . . 
I'm getting closer to my goal.  
 
Would some kind soul please shoot me some close up pics of  the windows in 
the up position so I can see where the rubber  seals and vinyl top are in 
relation to the top and rear of the glass?  
 
Maybe, just maybe, 2011 will see this car on the road.

One of the nicest modified Healeys I've seen is the 100 with a Ford 289
equipped with Gurney-Weslake heads and Paxton supercharger that was featured
on Bring A Trailer earlier this year. http://tinyurl.com/2ekk2ru  Apparently,
some other folks liked it as well as it was voted the website's most popular
feature of 2010:   http://tinyurl.com/38cprnd  BTW, it sold for $100k, which
must be a record for a nasty boy.

For those of you in Rio Linda  (a census-designated place (CDP) in
Sacramento County), "climate change" is the new politically correct term
for "global warming". An attempt to pull the "drastic fricking" wool over
our eyes. A necessary change after the memos became public. Wonder what

started?

hi all,



i may be selling one of my cars soon - it needs an interior (does not
currently have door cards; carpeting; trunk interior; and has rather poorly
done seats that were done YEARS ago)..............B  got a quote of $3,000 - $
3,500 to do everything (and, as we all know - what that estimate probably
really means is $3,500!!!!!!!!!!!!).B B  Anyway,,,,,,,,,,,,



MY QUESTION:B  Do you think it makes sense to do the interior, and add the
cost to my sale price; or to sell it "needing an interior"?????????

I would prefer to do my own interior on a car needing one so I could "rust
proof" the interior rather than guess what is underneath a  new interior car
needing other work...I can see it both ways however.

My opinion--if it is nice/done otherwise and only thing missing/bad is 
interior it will more than pay off to complete, if it is in need of 
restoration/rough for everything else adding the interior will maybe pay for 
itself, maybe not.

Wonder how many people will have read my first post and believed that I was
actually serious?

That's actually a good value for any built hot-rod, which says something
for the intrinsic value of the Healey car. The only scary thing, as most Ford
V8 folks know, is that if these things start having value, how many people
will make the conversion to perfectly good 100s, instead of just looking for
basket cases that don't much matter one way or another until they're
restored.

I don't know, but I understand there is a new theme park/teaching exhibit 
being built in the Southeast that has a diorama showing Adam loading two 
dinosaurs on the ark so they would survive the flood. Maybe their curators would 
have the answer to that.

Although it has an "M" badge on the grille, if you look through the build pics
here: http://b3hammond.com/sale/sale_detail.asp?ID=35  the shroud supports are
perfectly straight.  I'm thinking it's probably not an M or even a LeMans, but
just a garden variety BN2.  I don't recall seeing a BN2 selling for a $100k
lately.

Subject: [Healeys] Great Find and Historical Data Point
Message-ID: <4E25872E-2784-42B1-BB8C-E8809D6F6017@hunterbane.com>

I had a great Christmas surprise on a recent trip back home.  I was  
kicking around the flower beds of my brother's house (my old family  
home) and discovered the old steering box for my BT7.  Not sure how it  
got there, but I always knew that it was on said property.   
Surprisingly, it was in great shape.  The steering column with gear  
were located in a storage room and was covered in surface rust, but no  
pitting.

I have always known that my car was delivered in Germany and that the  
certificate said that the steering box was an adjustable column with  
steering lock.  I never suspected that it was the original box because  
my car's steering has always been non-adjustable and I never saw a  
steering lock on my car.  I always have suspected that because the  
front end was damaged, so too was the steering box and it must have  
been replaced.  A lot of folks with more Healey knowledge than I  
suspected that it would be very rare for a non-adjustable steering  
column car as late as mine, and thus I never expected that mine could  
be original.

Sometime in the early 90s, I tried to replace the bearings in the box,  
but I could never get the end plate to fit back like it was.  I pulled  
the box out to investigate what was causing the problems.  I found  
that the tube coming out of the box was slightly bent and causing the  
column shaft to bind.  I also noticed that the pitman arm was  
distorted, damage that was obviously from the wreck.  I never could  
figure how it worked before, and resorted to buying another non- 
adjustable steering box and arm in Atlanta and changed it out while I  
was home from school.  Never thought twice about the box since.

20 years later, a bit wiser, I studied the box a bit more closely to  
see if it had any indications of a column lock.  What I found was that  
this box and column was indeed a lockable column, just did not have  
the lock.  The outer tube had the hole for the locking pin and  
indications where the lock was mounted.   The column shaft had the  
tabs welded in place for the pin to lock into.  2 separate pieces and  
both have proof of a lockable column.  This is like the Holy Grail for  
me, and as you would imagine, I was excited to uncover this bit of  
historical significance for my car.

OK, so I now suspect that the certificate was partially wrong, should  
have been "non"- adjustable steering.  Because the date stamp on the  
column was 7-61 and my car was built in 10-61, I believe the box was  
probably never replaced as I thought it was after the wreck.  Even if  
it wasn't original, it still dates the non-adjustable column to 1961,  
which I have never seen on another car.

I plan on restoring the box by cutting the old tube out and either  
replacing the tube or straightening it and re-welding, but don't  
expect any updates from me for a long time.  I still need to find a

Came home from my trip to Los Angeles on the 31st, where I picked up a
Smitty 5 speed kit I bought.
Today, I went over to my friends house and we pulled my stock tranny with
overdrive.The clutch and flywheel are next. The flywheel will be going over
to the machine shop for fitment of the BJ8 clutch cover. It has already been
lightened. On return the Toyota box will be installed.
Almost done with engine bay detailing. Wow fitting new grommets to the
steering shaft was fun....
The HD8 carbs will be off for a rebuild next week.
all four running lights sockets have been installed, along with both
headlight assemblies.
Boot is almost ready for armacord...
cheers

Subject: [Healeys] trafficator questions
Message-ID: <AANLkTinmO=DQG_=R_bYuef9YLAvAtRRs=ckUGDYAYXdj@mail.gmail.com>

I have a non-adjustable steering column on my BT7
The control head broke 10 years ago and I removed it. It was rebuilt by Vic
Right about 6 years ago. I removed the stator tube last year.
so my questions:
tube goes through steering column and locks at the bottom of the steering
box.
Ok, so my question...
how does the control head attach? Does it screw to the top plate of the
stator tube?
is just held in place by the steering wheel set screws?
how is it aligned to remain facing up, with the turn signal arm at the top?
I can send photos of the bottom of my control head to anyone if it will help
with answers
Lastly, anyone have an extra cancelling ring? Mine has gone awol and I hate
to pay moss $50.00 for one
.

Thanks

It's attached to the plate at the end of the tube.

Yes

No

You place it there and tighten the olive/nut at the steering box end  
of the tube.

?Hi List,

I have taken the "rolling chassis" route with my BJ8 restoration, the engine,
complete drive train, wiring, plumbing, etc; etc; is all installed. Now it is
time to install the front shroud and fenders and do a complete paint job,
neither the shroud or fenders have been on this car previously. I am wondering
if any of you know of a quality body/restoration shop in the New England
States that hopefully has had experience putting healeys together? Also what
kind of money I might be looking at to do the work? Thanks as always.

We have a 65 Mk III which has become a long-term garage queen.  It's time to 
sell and move on but I want to ensure that it goes to a better place (no, not 
THAT better place).  So I'm thinking of selling only to a legitimate collector 
or a long-standing member of the Healey community with the means, ability and 
intent to make a pretty good car even better.  This is not going for a daily 
driver or to send a kid to college.  Not my intent to do Q&A here, but 
appropriate people can contact me to discuss it at martin_93555 at yahoo dot you 
know.  Location California high desert.

I not so sure if this weird weather is due to global warming or to the volcano
earlier last year. ( the one that caused all the flights to be canceled in
Europe due to the crap spewed into the air form Iceland). This happened with
Mt. Helena a number of years ago. Same weird weather.  It doesn't help global
warming but then my Healey doesn't get all the blame.

I managed to make a usable generator out of the 100-4 generator and the
100-6.

Something interesting I did notice:  The 100-4 generator pulley is a smaller
diameter and is solid.  The 100-6, 1957 generator pulley is solid with two
holes for pulley removal.  The 100-6, 1959 generator pulley is a "three spoke"
design.  Other six cylinder generators I've seen before typically have the
solid pulley with the two holes.  I looked in the concours standards, but
didn't see anything detailing the pulleys.

Looks like a Stebro Exhaust system.  Usually they exit out the side but this
one has been modified to go out the back.

Car's a beaut.  Exhaust looks like a custom fab to me--AFAIK no vendors sell a 'dual' front muffler setup like that, and 
hangers look fabricated (one of our Listers has an A/C-equipped car with a similar setup).

Two things stand out:

1) rear sits really high, even for a BJ8
2) am I the only one who thinks a stock steering wheel would look much better (wood-rimmed one dominates view of cockpit)?

I have been over there at his shop quite a bit lately, checking on his

gets $50/hr).

remaining 90wt oil.
The idler box apparently doesn't leak.
How much Penrite should I order for both boxes?

i could be wrong, but....
also the number plates on the car do not match the front plate in

Message-ID: <672856.29246.qm@web82204.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Hello,
Somehow over the years, I collected *two* sets of CA '56 yellow plates - each
with a 1962 sticker.  Both sets are clear with the California DMV as of last
week and legal for YOM registration. Since I am already overloaded with car
projects and two small boys, I doubt I will be getting a '62 of anything!
Both sets are unrestored with grime and small rust spots.  As-is would look OK
on an unrestored car.  Each has a decent rear plate with a slightly banged
front plate.  One set has 4 small match drilled holes where they were probably
screwed together onto a wall.  Asking $75 for the good set and $50 for the set
with holes.  Plus mailing.    Pics avail.

Olin,
You need to look for a "NEIMAN" (not LUCAS) steering lock as used with
Volkswagen Beetles. BMC used these locks also for all Austin-Healeys and MGs.
You still can get the later versions new from suppliers like SC Parts. But
they are a little different to the ones used in Austin-Healeys: Just as a hint
have a look here:
http://www.scparts.co.uk/index/lang-2/lkz-195/markenid-3/katnr-3/kat_sprache-
2/hrubnr-721/rubrik-1165/index.php?tpl=clickable_vertikal.tpl&marker=25#25

Or have a look to your local scrap yard and check if you can find a VW Beetle
with a complete lock and keys. Then you only need to drill out the old shear
bolts and buy two new shear bolts to bolt the lock to your Healey, see No 28
on my link above.

G'day

A few years back I drained the steering box in my car and refilled it with
Penrite Steering Lube.

I don't know how much it take to fill the box, but it didn't use the whole
container.

It was however very difficult to fill as it is VERY viscous.

If the box is still leaking do not use oil but the liquid grease as used 
in the swivel hubs of Landrovers.

This car was offered for sale on eBay in May 2010 out of Stillwater,
Minnesota.  It was also offered for sale on eBay in February and November
2009 by Mark Hyman of St. Louis.  From February 2001 to 9 October 2008, it
was owned by someone in Harrisburg, PA.  Prior to that, it was in Manheim,
PA from April 1988 to February 2001, and in Lancaster, PA from December 1972
to some unknown date.
The only front license plate I see in the photos is a UK-style plate with
number FAH 725.  One of the earlier owners has the initials F.A.H., so I
suspect that the front plate was made to match that.
 
Beverly Hills Car Club also has another BJ8 for sale on eBay:  220719001583.
Someone on the list posted a notice on 29 December 2010 that this one was
for sale at the website of the "Kent Car Collection", which apparently (from
the telephone number and the price in pounds) is a UK operation.  I conclude
that Beverly Hills Car Club is not a traditional dealer, and Kent Car
Collection is not a physical "collection", but probably both are storefront
"middle man" operations that locate and sell cars via international
connections.  They may or may not actually have the cars on their property.
I thought it interesting that Beverly Hills Car Club only gives an
unpublished telephone number as a point of contact.

I googled the address and went to maps. i saw the purported location.
cars of this type don't even drive thru that neighborhood.
i could be wrong, but....
also the number plates on the car do not match the front plate in

 I've used the Penrite for years and swear by it.  I put it in a pistol pump
oil can and pump it directly into the steering box.  No mess, no fuss.

Kent Car Collection currently has this same car listed on their site.
Apparently you are correct in that both of them are middlemen. The Kent web
site says:
Welcome to the Kent collection. Having grown up around the motor trade and
with a growing wealth of knowledge, we aim to offer unusual and interesting
vehicles for sale at more competitive prices than main dealers or other
classic car specialists.

We strive to go that extra mile to make buying cars a friendly and stress
free experience for all of our customers. 95% of all our vehicles are
sourced from the USA and Canada. We can take care of all aspects of shipping
and transportation so that you (the customer) have a stress free purchase.

One side of the business that we are keen to promote (following a shift in
the way people buy cars) is a car sourcing service. We have found that
there is an increasing requirement from the public to have a car sourced for
them, be it a car for the weekend or a car that they use everyday.

We are confident that we can locate, prepare and purchase your dream car and
arrange everything from finance through to insurance and delivery if
required. Please use our vehicle locator page to see if this could bring an
end to many fruitless hours of trawling the internet for that dream car.

Modern performance cars, as well as motorbikes, are also of a constant
interest to us, and therefore, whether looking to buy or sell, please feel
free to contact us if you have a car, motorbike or cherished number to sell.
Part-exchanges will be considered at all times with our aim always being
trying to do a deal.

Because the majority of our vehicles are located over seas vehicle shipping
plays a big part in our business. Be reassured that we have many years
experience in shipping and work along side some of the best shipping
companies in the world. We can take care of everything from sourcing your
vehicle to having it collected and shipped to almost any destination world
wide at competitive prices.

Yes, it makes sense to lighten the flywheel.  It will provide a more dynamic
feeling to the engine...more throttle response.   The downside is that the
car will have less momentum when starting off.  However, I have found the
trade-off well worth it.

I would stay away from an ALI flywheel.   This is for more high performance
cars and no necessary for street cars.   A better value is to simply have
your existing flywheel machined to remove some extra weight....or purchase a
steel one.

Sounds like *speculation mode on* a lightened flywheel would be less desirable with a 3.54 rearend *speculation mode off*

Several comments.
"Beverly Hills Car Club" is a new advertiser with the Mercedes-Benz Club 
magazine that I edit. Maybe someone knows from the address if they do have a 
storefront somewhere.

I agree on the steering wheel -- though obviously a Lempert Wheel, the 
light finish looks totally out of place on a gray/black car with dark wood and 
black interior. Wonder if they could have requested a dark stain finish? 

Did anyone notice that the engine was inserted with the sump and oil 
pick-up removed? Wonder if that's a good idea. Sure seems as if it would make 
clearance easier.

The $20,000 was just an opening bid. This has to have a $50k- $75k reserve.

With all the great condition of this car, why they wouldn't have fixed the 
sideview mirror before pictures is beyond me.

Finally, from the editor in me to all of you folks taking pictures of your 
cars -- MOVE THE FRICKING PICK-UP behind the car! How much effort could   
that have taken? Then use the brown house as your complete backdrop so that 
the white house doesn't show. The reindeer on the lawn aren't too bad -- sort 
of date the picture, (we're assuming this was taken Xmas 2010 not a year or 
two earlier.

I'll play along.

An Austin Healey isn't a drag racer, and the first gear with any of  
the rear ends these cars came with is a very short stump puller (IMNSHO)

I have a 3.54:1 rear end with a 28% overdrive and while I've yet to  
install the lightened flywheel that is in my garage, I'm pretty  
confident that it's not going to do much to the launch.

the rotating bits. Engine spills up just fine.

It is satisfying to piece together the individual history of one's 
car. I didn't have a proper VIN plate because the car had been stolen 
years ago and put back on the road by the local authorities (Quebec, 
in this case). After some educated guesses , detective work, and 
plenty of help from Steve Byers, I've established the identity of the 
car, and the fact that the numbers seem to match. When I finally 
found that number on the rear axle, I felt the satisfaction of 
putting into place the last piece of a puzzle that took years to 
complete.
Now to complete the car itself!

Steve,
I didn't pay much attention to this thread until you gave this 
information.  I knew the car, two of the previous owners, and the shop 
that restored it.  Those initials match the guy that I know.
The man that he bought it from has since died.  That is the man from 
Manheim, PA.  He had started the restoration, but his health was 
failing, so he sold the car.  I believe that at that time the car was 
the more traditional BRG color that BJ8s were painted.  He also had done 
some work to repair one of the front fenders and the substructure at the 
front by welding in some pieces from another car.  I don't know how that 
fared in the final restoration.
FAH did sell the car to Hyman at Fall Hershey in 2008 which corresponds 
to the Oct 9 date.
The exterior color appears to be black in the pictures, but is actually 
a very dark green.  The coves are gray.
 From looking at the auction, it appears that it started at $200.

Using the engine number is fine, if that is absolutely all you have.
However, if a car is missing its VIN, body number plate, and any other
numbers that can be related to the original chassis number, then there is no
guarantee that the engine that is in the car is the original, either.  What
you will get from BMIHT is the manufacturing data for the car that left the
factory with that engine, whether it is original to your car or not.  From
there, it is a leap of faith as to whether you actually know the true
identity of your car.
 
If Stephen will excuse my jumping in here, he and I have been trying to
figure out his car's true identity since 2003 (he has owned it since 1975).
It was carrying a BJ7 VIN plate, but had previously had a plate issued by
the Quebec authorities with a made-up number.  The Quebec number included
the digits 31481, which we thought might be a clue since it appeared to be a
valid BJ8 chassis number.  The only other clue available was the last two
letters of the engine serial number plate (81), the rest of which was
missing, perhaps due to a hot tanking of the block during an engine rebuild.
There was no legible VIN stamped on the shock tower.
 
Via a friend who researches for me periodically in the BMIHT archives, we
learned that chassis 31481 was a French-spec car sent to Paris that
originally had engine 29KFA/RU/H281 installed.  This car also had fixed
steering, which Stephens' car also has (and which is relatively rare on a
BJ8).  The information available to my researcher at BMIHT is not exactly
the same as that used to produce the certificates, and has no identification
of the rear axle numbers.  However, my researcher was able to convince the
BMIHT staff to check to see if 31481 had a rear axle number identified in
their records (they will not normally do a reverse search on a rear axle
number, since it is labor intensive).  It did, and the number matched what
Stephen subsequently found on his rear axle.
 
The successes are what make this registry stuff fun, and useful.

I disagree, Bob. While I do have a tweaked M Kit motor in my '53 BN1 
3-speed, I've been running a 3.54 diff and a Bill Bolton 23# flywheel 
for at least six years. I have no problem starting out and the 
acceleration and deceleration are much better. You'll find the new 
response very helpful in gymkhanas.

I would strongly recommend installing a light flywheel. We installed  
lots of them and no one has ever had a problem. We are selling a new  
light weight flywheel that comes in at 15lbs.  You will find that the  
engine will accelerate easier and  while driving you will have better  
acceleration due to less spinning mass.

Just out of curiosity, why did they make the flywheel so heavy in the first

I have both on my BN1. Great combination... The heavy flywheel may tend to
give a smoother start, but it also builds revs more gradually. The engine is
more responsive to the throttle with a lighter flywheel although it may not be
as happy lugging at 5 MPH in third gear. Easy choice for me.

Thank you Wilko!

Most of the pictures I see show the differential housing in a natural 
cast finish. The originality guidelines do not mention a finish with 
the exception of one photo showing a black diff.

To smooth out the vibrations of 3 bangs per revolution on 6-cyl engines. 
If you fit an overly light flywheel you may cause severe damage to the 
gears and some bearings in the transmission as these pulses/vibrations 
can cause very high strains.
How far you can go I do not know but although some lightening of the 
flywheel of the AH is certainly possible and desirable (as they are very 
heavy) I would think more than twice about an aluminium flywheel.

Geez!
Theory. Theory. Theory.
Theory is fine. But there is over 50 years of practical experience  
here on this list!!!
Ok. Here is mine....
Yes  I have a lightened steel flywheel, and a rear engine seal.
I also have triple 45 mm webbers, & a 300 degree cam.
And every reciprocating component has been lightened within an inch of  
it's road reliability.
E.g. Lightweight forged Cosworth pistons, steel flywheel,
I even lightened my Denis Welch bucket followers (by about 13 or so   
grams each) and my valve spring retainers were also lightened  
considerably.
Every component was selected and matched for weight. And strength.
And reliability?
It's now 2011.
My engine was built in 1998. Its done over 32 speed/ track/racing  
events. And a lot of road miles.
I'm considering a rebuild this year. I've never owned a competition  
car previously where I haven't removed the head in less than 10 years.
No, I've never removed the black & white healeys head. No need.
But given the years, I'd like to do it sometime soon. And give it a  
complete freshen up.
Oh.
And the man who built my engine, Peter Molloy, is retired. And being  
the only engineer in the Australian Motorsports Hall of Fame, and a  
family friend since I was a kid,
I'd really like him to implement the knowledge we've learnt over the  
past 11 years.
So he gets to see it.
Thanks Uncle Pete. Thanks again.

Don't bother.... Spokeo, like many other similar sites, merely aggregates
information that you've already provided to available open public sites.
If you've posted information on the internet, it can be found.   Further,
there are many public information sites available for looking into real
estate ownership, property tax records, etc.   If anyone wants to know
something about you in particular, they can do easy searches of public
records to find out stuff about you.   If you post information on Facebook,
or Twitter, or any other social network site, that information can be
retrieved by most anyone.   In the case of social networking sites, some of
them offer various forms of "privacy" (such as for "friends only", etc.)...
but the bottom line is simple:  The internet is a huge repository of
information tidbits about most anybody.

In other words:  trying to get your information expunged from Spokeo is a
waste of time... Just like the game "whack a mole", if you stop one site,
another will pop up with the information within seconds...If you are truly
concerned about privacy, then don't use social network sites, obfuscate your
email addresses, and minimize what information you provide to any on-line
service.   You can never be entirely cleared from the internet because
public records are still searchable.  But, you can be careful about how
widely you circulate information.

By the way, none of these information aggregator sites (Spokeo, Peekyou,
iSearch, Intelius, etc.) can guarantee accuracy of information...they merely
search for what is readily available.  So, even if there is a reference to
you out there, no one can be sure that the information is accurate...(
personally, I don't believe I am important enough for people to really care
about what information they can find about me on the internet....most people
spend their time searching out information on themselves... I think it is an
"ego" thing...lol)

The one thing that you can do to make matters worse is to respond to queries
or "cancellation" requests from sites like Spokeo... if you verify
information they've collected, then you've made matters worse...best option:
Just ignore them.

Can't speak to Healeys, but TR's used an ungodly heavy flywheel (24-28
lbs) on their 1.9-2.1 L 4's.  It was specifically utilized to smooth out
the vibrations caused by the basic design of the engine and firing order
and 2) lack of balance in the internal components.  There was also some
parts bin sharing going on, as the flywheel was used in larger sedans as
well.

American cars using in line 6's of similar vintage used the same
premise.

Modern in line's have internal balance shafts and other trick items to
compensate and therefore use lighter flywheels.

With balanced internals, I used a 14 lb flywheel in my TR3 powered
morgan for several years with no issues, although vibration at idle was
noticeably rougher than unmodified TR's I have driven.   Ability to
"lug" the engine in 3rd or 4th was unaffected - possibly due to the low
weight of the car (500+ lbs lighter than a TR3) combined with high
torque of the engine.

Lightening a flywheel is pretty common practice to achieve better
throttle response, engine braking, weight savings and some claim better
acceleration.

Question for the Healey 6 is why a heavy flywheel AND a damper on the
pulley?

Hello,

I have just completed a small winter project:
(too cold to work in the garage to finish my BN2 :-( ).


Assembly and descriptions are 1/3 way down the page:
http://volvo1800pictures.com/sweden/Volvo_1800_dokumentation_main_page_en.ph
p 

Detailed description, assembly & testing procedure is here:
http://volvo1800pictures.com/document/Service_manual_jack/part_5_brakes_disc
_brakes/part_5_brakes_disc_brakes.pdf


I have made a similar 'test station' as described in document above - the
functionality is roughly equivalent to the original Girling/Volvo one:
http://picasaweb.google.com/Volvo1800S/GirlingServoTesting#


If you are planning to rebuild it, I would recommend resleaving the pressure
cylinder in the alu body (I use a company called Past Parts in UK to do it).
Also, make sure your vacuum is tight & change all the bolts - especially
change the UNF bolts that hold canister to alu body to longer ones to be
able to tighten it better..

If you have any questions, shoot :-)

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110105220515.02024eb0@pop.att.yahoo.com>

With two original harmonic balancers and the pulley's in hand I 
checked the archives for the stored wisdom of the listers'. Alas, no 
answers to my questions.
They both seem to have rubber that yields and returns when poked.

I want an original style balancer, so I am wondering if I should I 
have the metal/rubber part rebuilt or just reinstall it?

There are two methods, other than an after market replacement, to 
rebuild the metal rubber interface; silicon and vulcanized rubber. I 
intend to go with the vulcanized rubber instead of the silicon 
because the latter can absorb solvents.

Any comments with experiences on materials, process, outcomes and 
from people with original balancers still in operation?

Use rtv to seal between pan and block and your oil will need to look elsewhere to leak.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Check for cracks and serious oil 
contamination. If all looks OK, reinstall.
If the rubber is gone try to find out what the hardness of the rubber 
was originally, as this is a factor in the damping, and have new rubber 
applied and vulcanized according those specs.
Silicon may not be appropriate, I think it has less energy absorbing 
qualities, not sure though.
The most important bit is to have the parts very well centralized in a 
jig when fitting the rubber.

Hi,

I have dismantled the differential of Cliff, and I have found it to be
completely shot: nearly all the bearings are worn, the wors being a
differential bearing (on the crown wheel side, which eventualy fall apart
when I removed it (I will put pics on my site).

Good points are that all gears are in perfect shape, including the
differential pinions, the shaft is also looking good, tehre were not much
metal dust/fragments in the oil (some brass powder only).

Bad point is, that I have never done such thing. I have read the BMC
Workshop Manual and the Haynes Manual for guidance. I think I have got the
tools to do the work.

Though I lack knowledge. Is there anybody who can guide me through a bit?

I have collected the bits I need, but not sure though.
- are there different brand of bearings?
- which is the best?
- which to avoid?
- do I need to buy the expensive shims for the differental bearings, or can
I use purpose-cut thin steel shims?
- how can I test the differential preload (not the pinion shaft preload)?

Though I am a bit affraid, it makes me excited to do something new,
something challenging.

Thank in advance!

A Vacation Love Story


He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me

into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were

alone.



He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low,

reassuring voice close to my ear.



"Just relax."



Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused

hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my

calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I

should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so

experienced, so sure.



When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and

partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing

fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm,

full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching,

knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid

them down my tingling spine and into my panties.



Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and

expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A

man not used to taking `no' for an answer. A man who would tell me

what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say ...



"Okay, ma'am, all done."



My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling,

holding out my purse. "You can board your flight now."

Bernard, the answer to your question is not just a simple one.
First of all, the change in light configuration was not implemented by
chassis number, but by body number.  Since the body numbers did not track
the chassis numbers in strict numerical sequence, it's possible for a lower
chassis number to have a "later" light configuration than a higher chassis
number.
Also, Phase 2 cars for Sweden and Germany had the four lights sooner than
did those going to other countries, although these were originally the
smaller lights like BJ7 and Phase 1 cars.
 
Assuming that you are interested only in the cars shipped to the USA or
Canada:  cars with body numbers 76138 and up are stated in the parts manual
to have the separate indicators.  Interestingly, BMIHT records give body
number 76138 for BOTH chassis 31259 and 31336.  
The BJ8 registry records many later cars with the single lights when they
should have the dual, and vice versa.  Whether this was the way it was done
in production, despite the parts manual, or whether the cars had their front
shroud and light configuration changed later due to damage repairs, who
knows?

Hi Gergo,

I'm part way through doing my BN4 diff and have found a
 few things so far. I
decided to change from the 4.11 ratio to a 3.54 
and in the process discovered
the cross-pin was damaged in the 3.54 and 
so elected to replace the whole
centre with a Quaife ATB. The Quaife 
unit has now gone back to the
manufacturer because it wasn't machined 
concentrically but that is another
saga altogether.

There are four critical adjustments in the diff:
the pinion bearing preload (set by shims behind the front bearing)
the pinion mesh depth (set by the thickness of the spacer behind the large
pinion bearing)
the side bearing preload (set by the washer thicknesses each side)
the crownwheel mesh depth. (set by the washer thicknesses each side)


My advice is to get an old-school diff rebuilder to do the setup work 
once
you have obtained the bearings and seal. They will have a hydraulic press and
a surface 
grinder to adjust the spacer thicknesses and also a stash of other
spacers to substitute. Getting a quiet diff is very much a black art 
still
and I would be very surprised to see a home-built diff give 
satisfactory
service.

Be aware of the order that the front pinion
 shims go back in, they must go
back in with the thick shims next to the
 bearing/spacer and the thin shim(s)
sandwiched between in the middle. 
If the thin shim is put against the bearing
or spacer it will be crushed
 and torn, resulting in it escaping and the
preload of the pinion 
bearings being lost. It is very important that the
pinion nut is 
tightened fully to 140lb-ft.

Re the side bearings coming in two, 
this is how they are supposed to be. You
take off the outer race and 
balls/retainer from the centre, then press the
centre onto the carrier. 
Then refit the outer parts. There is a slight lip on
the inner race to 
stop them falling off.

Only bearing brands I'd watch out for are 
chinese made ones. There are some
pretty random names of bearings out 
there but the supplier I have used AH4H
in UK assure me their bearings 
are not sourced from Asia. The prices vary
wildly so
 shop around for them- the local supplier here wants 3-4 times what
they
 sell for online for the pinion bearings but their side bearings are
about 1/4 the online price. You can Google the part numbers off the 
bearings
and come up with a few suppliers and crossover numbers.

If your axle hub bearings and seals haven't been replaced I'd suggest doing
them too at the same time.

Cheers,
Andy.

Subject: [Healeys] 3.54 differential questions
Message-ID: <00ca01cbaebf$c4a734b0$4df59e10$@ca>

I have a question regarding differentials selection.

 

I currently run a 3.90 differential on a highly modified 3.2ltr BJ8 with a
stock transmission. (late model BJ8).   I use the car mostly around town and
no so much Hiway.  

 

I have in my garage a 4:11 as well as a 3:54 differential.  I was

Is the Toyota swap similar to the one developed for the TR-6?

I can speak to the Toyota trans in a TR-6, and as good as the TR
transmission is, It's a no brainer.  The Toyota 5 speed has it all over
the TR with OD.  Better action, better ratios, and a usable 5th gear.

My only complaint is that the clutch operates as an "on/off" switch.

I have a question regarding differentials selection.

and
no so much Hiway.

Question:   when installing the 3:54 do you loose much low end

Interesting.....did you modify the electric override so that Overdrive works
in second gear also?

I guess the only downside is remembering not to go into reverse as the
override prevents that also.

The challenge with 4:11 is that you really have no more need for the first
gear...which can't be used in events anyways because of the lack of syncro.

Subject: RE: [Healeys] 3.54 differential questions

I used the 3.54 for a year to see how I liked it.  I do not like the 3.54.
When driving around town or on the highway, I was always wanting to
downshift to a lower gear.  Third gear on side streets even seems too high.
Fourth gear on the highway is what I was using. It is hard to go fast enough
for overdrive.

I recently switched back to 3.909.  It suits the car better.  Rpms are in a
better range for the engine.  I plan on switching to the 4.10 this summer
for some driving events....again, better rpm ranges.  

I like the centershift with overdrive....not the toy gearbox.  The overdrive
makes a Healey a Healey.  Second gear w/overdrive is nice for side streets
and slow traffic.

Just my opinions.  I think that the 3.54 rage is just wrong...too many
owners wanting low revving V8 American cars without the nice note of 3,000
to 4,000 rpms.  AH engineers were very, very smart and got the gearing right
for an European inline 6.

3,54 all the way no means of decreasing the acceleration. I will
suggest the 3,54 for all of us

This is probably a futile question but would anyone have a 3.54 differential
sitting around that they would be willing to sell?  Please contact me off line
at ghess4 at cox.net.

In 1957 I put a small Studebaker hypoid differential into a BN1.  It of course
was narrowed and spring mounts modified but the outcome was excellent.  This
will probably make the purists cry and if anyone has that car I would sure
like to know that it is still running.

There will be a slight difference in results depending on the Toyota 5 speed
transmission that you use. The Supra W58 has the best gear ratios in lower
gears and OD. The truck transmissions work well but might seem a bit tall in
low gear, well maybe compared to the Healey trans it won't be too noticeable.
The Supra trans really smooths things out. If you like the additional
excelleration but not top speed the 4.10 set is better. As mentioned by others
the 3.54 is great all around. Personally I like the 3.90. I think I have about
twelve 3.90 gears sets

in the container headed for PA!

would keep it in your car.   I changed because it was cheaper to convert

I'm converting to a Smitty for a few reasons,
Want a modern tranny, less idiosyncratic than Oem with over drive
Less stressful for wife to drive.
Lighter
Cheaper to fix
Pulling tranny anyway to put in rear engine sealand update to BJ8 clutch
Eliminating overdrive kick down because using Hd8 carbs and cable throtle
Bought a complete kit with tranny and cut down drive shaft for a great price
No need to teach kids and wife to double clutch

Other than that, can't think of a reason.;)

Hi Gergo,

Here is my experience and what my local rebuilder does and recommends. As I
say, so far I have had zero success at doing it myself despite trying several
times (not healey diffs though). My best attempt whimpered at 50kph, my worst
howled constantly and made people look around in wonderment.

After your parts arrive, firstly assemble the pinion bearing and cups, then
set the pinion preload by adjusting the shim pack at the front. Do it without
the seal fitted, only fit the seal at the very end. The 'starting value' they
refer to is the thickness of the big bearing washer next to the pinion teeth
which should be approx  0.215". This is just a starting value if you don't
have the original. I'd start with the original washer.

The manual says 180-200g.m pinion bearing preload which my rebuilder thought
was a bit high after he had a feel of it set to that. I got a 2m pole and
mounted it on the pinion flange bolts in the middle. I then hung a 190g weight
at the 1m mark and It just started to turn the pinion. This is purely trial
and error changing shims and requires torquing the pinion nut each time (only
once you are close, initially hand tight is ok).

Then fit the crownwheel and set the side-bearing preload. It is supposed to be
2 thou but this correlates to approximately a firm one-finger push on the side
bearing washer to install. Just a little preload, definitely no slack. You can
use washers and shims out of other makes of diff, mine now has Ford Falcon and
Nissan Skyline washers and shims.

Next step is to put some marking fluid on the teeth and run them firmly
together back and forth a few times to make a mark. If you are very lucky it
should be in the centre of the crownwheel teeth driving side and not running
off the ends at all. Say a little prayer to the Gods of Speed if you are this
lucky.

Moving the crownwheel sideways by changing the side washer thicknesses shifts
the mark from outside to inside of the crownwheel (toe and heel) and moving
the pinion in/out by changing the thickness of the washer behind the big
pinion bearing shifts the mark from the top to the bottom of the tooth (face
and flank). This is opposite to what you'd think at first glance. If after
several hours of fiddling about you get is a mark that runs off both ends of
the crownwheel teeth then your gears are worn out. There is no cure for this
apart from a visit to a Gleason lapping machine or new gears.

The whole procedure is long and frustrating if you don't have the right
thickness shims and washers. Each change in pinion depth requires pressing off
the big pinion bearing and either replacing or surface grinding the washer.
Near enough is not good enough, it equals a whiner and you can't tell until it
is driving down the road. The marking on the crownwheel must run centrally
across the teeth in a 'bean' shape when you are done. I have never been this
patient.

Good luck,
Andy.

The Solution here is to buy a Supra or Celica for the wife and kids to
drive.
 Keep the Healey as is because if you convert you won't really have a Healey
(only a look-alike).
 If you know how to drive you don't need the kickdown switch (only for
dummies IMHO)
Put a 3.54 diff in which will give a more usable first gear and drive it
like it should be driven

Hello Gergo,

In the attachment is an article from Practical Classics magazine about 
rebuilding a differential. Several types are dealt with and there are 
not all that major differences from one diff to another.
I hope it may be helpful.
Also look through Google for "reassembly differential", "rebuilding 
differential", "overhauling differential" etc. and perhaps the German 
equivalents, as I suspect you can deal with that language as well.

Success,

A Vacation Love Story


He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me

into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were

alone.



He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low,

reassuring voice close to my ear.



"Just relax."



Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused

hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my

calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I

should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so

experienced, so sure.



When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and

partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing

fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm,

full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching,

knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid

them down my tingling spine and into my panties.



Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and

expectant. This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A

man not used to taking `no' for an answer. A man who would tell me

what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say ...



"Okay, ma'am, all done."



My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling,

holding out my purse. "You can board your flight now."

John,

So if I come to Australia you will by my wife and kid a Supra.  Cool.
They both like red.

Warm Regards,

The Solution here is to buy a Supra or Celica for the wife and kids to
drive.
 Keep the Healey as is because if you convert you won't really have a Healey
(only a look-alike).
 If you know how to drive you don't need the kickdown switch (only for
dummies IMHO)
Put a 3.54 diff in which will give a more usable first gear and drive it
like it should be driven

I'm converting to a Smitty for a few reasons,
Want a modern tranny, less idiosyncratic than Oem with over drive
Less stressful for wife to drive.
Lighter
Cheaper to fix
Pulling tranny anyway to put in rear engine sealand update to BJ8 clutch
Eliminating overdrive kick down because using Hd8 carbs and cable throtle
Bought a complete kit with tranny and cut down drive shaft for a great price
No need to teach kids and wife to double clutch

Other than that, can't think of a reason.;)

A trick I used to use when rebuilding diffs is install the new bearing with
the old shim packs exactly as they were when you disassembled the unit.  Oft
times the bearings are so close that either the shim pack will be right on,
or so close that it gives you a great place to start.
Good Luck
Rick

Hello Gergo and all the others who have responded to this thread

I don't see what the problem is.

In what ever country you reside there are companies that repair and 
reinstall diffs.

This is not new rocker science.

Diffs are diffs - whether it is from a Healey, an Austin Healey or a Supra.

If you have a new crown wheel and pinion it may not need to be lapped 
in. This is generally a professional trade but most modern diff 
replacements do not need this IMO.

If you look any diff set up page from Google it will show the results 
that are needed when setting up a diff. It is trial and error and may 
take some time for a newcomer but it can be done.

cheers and good luck with this job

I know all of you are on the edge of your chairs waiting to hear my opinion on
this subject. So here goes. A well restored Healey is a wonderful experience
to drive with all its smells, sounds & tactile sensations & a big part of that
experience for me is the original, well restored transmission & overdrive.
At a recent "Spring Thing" event, participants were ask to submit a short
story describing their drive in the Healey that day. The stories were read
aloud at the awards dinner. In the most memorable story (according to me) the
author wrote that when the driver flicked the switch in & out of overdrive, it
made her tingle. I've never heard of a modern transmission doing that!

?I did two toyota conversions.  I used the Supra and the gear ratios are
xactly the same as a Healey.   If you original Healey transmission works, I
ould keep it in your car.   I changed because it was cheaper to convert
ersus rebuilding my Healey transmission which needed a new laygear, first
ear and reverse gear.

And "electric overdrive" just sounds damn cool.

In fact, I'm going to say it all day long today.

John,

I'm with you.  With all due respect, if you want "a modern tranny, less
idiosyncratic than Oem with over drive, less stressful for wife to drive,
lighter, cheaper to fix", along with AC, MP3 player, built in phone,
etc., then do as John suggests. BUY A NEW CAR. Then take your Healey "Put
a 3.54 diff in which will give a more usable first gear and drive it like
it should be driven". IMHO.

Wow!
Just building my car to enjoy as I age. I never told anyone they have to do it my way.
He asked about why to put a Smitty kit in.
Some folks do put ac in, as did the factory in 67.
Not sure why folks are so polarized.
Enjoy your car the way you want.
We need to be sure not to discourage people from asking questions.

Same guy but what you really need to know about him is that he was Bandito
#1 in Three Amigos. Actually, he has a lot of acting credits. Google Jorge
Cervera.

Mine used to make me tingle too. I found that the switch was shorting  
voltage to me as the ground.

When mine goes into OD it feels like she's settling in for a cruise. It's very satisfying. 

Speaking of her, Healey Data put her in this year's calendar. Check out November. It's a photo the previous owner used in the eBay add.

Drat!

Looks like if I want to enjoy a 'tingle' in the Healey, I'd better remove 
the Smitty Toyota conversion from the BJ8 (which is now almost complete - a 
full restoration) and install the original gearbox / overdrive unit.

Seriously, since it's being talked about here:  I ran the 5-speed for a 
couple of years before I took the BJ8 apart for restoration.  I liked it 
well enough to re-install it now, although the first Toyota was from a 2WD 
pickup.  I have sourced and installed a Supra unit now, so I'll be a good 
resource for a comparison of the 2 Toyota transmissions in a Healey.

One thing - first time I drove it with the conversion I didn't like the 
ratios at all.  That started a quest for a 3:545 diff which, when installed, 
made all the difference in the world.  This is especially true of the stock 
BJ8 gearbox - the 3:545 diff makes a huge difference because of the BJ8's 
weird stock ratios.  There are several BJ8's in my area with 3:545 diffs and 
original gearboxes - much better with that diff.

Having said all that, I would agree that the overdrive in a Healey 
contributes very much to the character of the car.  If I did not also own a 
very stock, gold concours tri-carb, I might never have considered the 
conversion for the BJ8.

For the record, the tri-carb was converted to the later BJ8 clutch, and both 
cars run lightened flywheels supplied by Bill Bolton.  No problems with 
either car in any circumstances.

Mine used to make me tingle too. I found that the switch was shorting

All this talk about making her tingle just reinforces my opinion that they

Anybody have some good photos of the aluminum trim at the B-Pillar?

I'm installing mine now and want to insure that I get all the spacing
right.

It would appear that the aluminum edge should sit approximately 3/8 of
an inch from the fender edge.  Unfortuntately, my new aluminum trim
doesn't seem to match the fender contour all that closely.

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the differential recondition tips. I will take my
bet, and report my failure/success.

Now I have another question.

On the cars I have built recently, there were no alloy parts in the brake
system, soo I have used copper piping with confidence. Unfortunatly the
Healey is not that type, as the rear brake cylinder housings are made of
alloy. Soo I would not like to use copper to prevent electric corrosion.
What to use then? Is Kunifer a good substitution, or it has the same
behaviour as copper? Only steel is good?

use copper pipe on brake lines. I used a coated steel line which is ok (that
may be called Kunifer (?) -I think it was a light copper coating to prevent
corrosion)

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the differential recondition tips. I will take my
bet, and report my failure/success.

Now I have another question.

On the cars I have built recently, there were no alloy parts in the brake
system, soo I have used copper piping with confidence. Unfortunatly the
Healey is not that type, as the rear brake cylinder housings are made of
alloy. Soo I would not like to use copper to prevent electric corrosion.
What to use then? Is Kunifer a good substitution, or it has the same
behaviour as copper? Only steel is good?

Gergo

Gergo,
Pure copper brake pipes should not be used because of possible fracture 
through hardening of the copper.
Cunifer is an excellent replacement material which is very durable, 
corrosion resistant and strong.
You will get electrolytic corrosion anyway, whether you use Cunifer or 
(stainless) steel.

Kunifer or Cunifer is a Copper / Nickel / Iron alloy which is very tough 
and corrosion resistant. It consists of ca.90%copper, ca.10% nickel and 
traces of iron. It is mainly used in off shore applications and is very 
suitable for automotive brake lines.
Original equipment in Volvo, Audi, Porsche, Aston Martin etc.
Steel brake lines can be galvanized with copper (rare), zinc or cadmium.

Gergo -

If you drive the car regularly, you will not have any Galvanic
corrosion problems.  If worried, you can paint the outside of the
slave cylinders which should help reduce the Galvanic potential of the
aluminum to the steel lines.  If you use steel lines, the potential
will be reduced too, esp if zinc coated.  Get pre bent steel lines
from Doug Reed of 18G Motorworks.

Mike - as far as the US is concerned,  Firestone tends to be one of
the best quality tire companies.  I'd rate them better than Michelin.

It's time to shoe the BJ8 restoration project.

I believe that 165 series tires leave way to much wheel arch on the
BJ8's.

I have installed 185 series tires on customer's cars, but for the life
of me can't recall if they had the 70 spoke wheels (which are 5" wide).

Can you install 185 series tires on 4.5" wide 60 spoke wheels?

Also, does anybody have experience with the K/O mag type sport wheels
from moss?  They are 5.5" wide and I'm concerned about offsets,
clearance and rubbing.

185mm wide tires are usually fitted on 5,5" rims. However 5" would still 
be OK. 4,5" makes the tire a bit unstable in my view but not dangerous. 
The higher the aspect of the tire (60, 65, 70, 80), the less influence 
the rim width has.

Over the years I think I have seen most of the movies or advertisements that
included our beloved Healeys, but I had never seen this one. Perhaps you
have,
but if not, enjoy the flashback to the sixties with Petula Clark!

Yes - I have been thru these loops and.....

1.  the 185x15 will be fine on 4 1/2 wheels, but better fit and look on 5
wheels. 5.5 wheels are too wide without body mods - a track wheel.

2.  the 185x70x15 are fatter cross section than 185x15 - ie more rubber
overhanging the rim edge, and do not look as good and turn as well in my
experience as the std 185x15.

3.  the 165 indeed leave too much gap over the tire and make the car look
'under tired'.

4.  I run 185x15 vreds on dayton 5 inch 60 spokes - perfect.

The centershift transmission in my BT7 tends to jump out of second gear on
deceleration.  Can anyone tell me which worn out pieces/parts I need to
replace?  My local "experts" claim that the necessary stuff from Moss mounts
up to a pretty large sum.  True?

Charlie -

Actually,  they don't know what they are talking about. Maybe you need
a new garage?

Order the three little detente balls and springs located just under
the cover of the box.  It'll cost you less than $20 and fix your
second gear problem (the balls slot on the gear selectors which keep
the car in gear).

These balls are often missing from when someone works on the box and
forgets to put them in.  Also the springs can get old with age..

If you have some mechanical ability, you can fix it yourself, it's an easy job.

On moss/meadows transmissions the springs for the detent balls go weak
with age/use.

We shim them using washers.

G'day Tadek

We're just North of Brisbane Tadek - it's been raining hard for 4 days - we 
had 200mm in 24 hours. No flooding in our immediate area but Brisbane city 
under flood warning and areas to West in serious trouble. Thanks for your 
thoughts. Wonder how John Rowe's going in Toowoomba,  one of worst hit areas

Popping out of second gear is not that unusual.

Ditente balls and springs....easy to install....

A trick to get the old ones out is to use a magnet.

Well this could be a number of things ranging from very cheap&easy to 
fix to a major overhaul.

Start checking and replacing the springs and balls in the shifting 
mechanism. The springs loose their tension and may have to be renewed or 
perhaps you can fit some small washers under them. You will have a 50% 
chance of succes.
In some cars soggy or broken engine and/or gearbox mounts can cause the 
gear lever to interfere with parts of the transmission tunnel thus 
knocking the gear lever out of gear.
These are usually simple and straight forward jobs costing little money.

After that it will become expensive. If synchro's, bearings, gears 
and/or forks are worn it means a rebuild and serious $$/.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a plater who will do zinc (or white
cadmium) plating on nuts, bolts, misc hardware?  I haven't yet found anyone
locally (I'm in the Midwest), though the new flat rate postal boxes make
shipping anywhere in the States pretty easy.  Also like to hear of any
recommendations for good chrome platers, especially if they are capable of
straightening and removing dings from items as well as handling the chroming. 
The local guys I've talked to so far make their living doing Harley chrome,
and aren't sure what to make of my Healey.

Can recommend Paul's Chrome in Evans City PA http://www.paulschrome.com/  for
the brite work.  But as usual you get what you pay for and you will pay!
I will be looking for a good zinc plater too once I have the new shop set up.

Bob ~ I've had some incredible plating done by:  The Chrome Shop, 565 Olde
Midway Rd., Menasha, WI 54952.  Steve Campbell @ 920-727-9444 is the person
that I have always talked to.  I always call ahead & tell him what I have &
get a good date to take it to him.  He has always had my stuff done when he
said he would.  Not cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Also, Motorsport Powdercoating, 4152 Industrial Court, Delavan, WI does good
Ceramic (HPC) Coating.  Tim Dieball @ 262-740-2030 is the person to talk to.
I've never had do any coating, but I've seen a lot of their work & that is
where I'll take my next job.  Not sure if they do small stuff tho, it's worth
a call.
Where in the Midwest are you from?  I'm in WI, near Madison.
Hope this can help you,     Mike Slechta

  Subject: [Healeys] BJ7 hardware


  Does anyone have a recommendation for a plater who will do zinc (or white
  cadmium) plating on nuts, bolts, misc hardware?  I haven't yet found anyone
  locally (I'm in the Midwest), though the new flat rate postal boxes make
  shipping anywhere in the States pretty easy.  Also like to hear of any
  recommendations for good chrome platers, especially if they are capable of
  straightening and removing dings from items as well as handling the
chroming.
  The local guys I've talked to so far make their living doing Harley chrome,
  and aren't sure what to make of my Healey.
  Thanks,
  Bob

Last count 23 inches of snow and still coming down.  The winds haven't started, so I'm not measuring snow drifts. My Bernese Mountain Dog just looks at me when I open the door for him to go out.

Greg,

You wimp ;-)  I remember my Sprite being *completely* (I mean NO part of the
car was visible) covered in snow in a big blizzard in Quantico, VA in '78.
I was driving it later that afternoon after I dug it out.  Of course that
was when my sprite was my only means of transport.

BTW, a perfect day here in San Diego County.

Stay warm.

Cheers,

Curt

Message-ID: <6E267242-CF33-4E3A-BD19-410CC07AFAF1@tidewater.net>

My rear suspension overhaul is done except for the rear shock install.  I have
overhaul exchange shocks from World Wide and new shock links from Moss.

The left side seemed to go together just fine.  On the  right side, the shock
attachment to the tapered shaft on the shock link will not go down as far on
the shaft as on the left side  The difference is about 1/4 inch.

Difficult to describe.  Did Moss have a batch of bad links?  What's the
remedy?  Or if all is snugged up correctly, am I O.K.?

Greetings and wishing good luck to those suffering the storms in Australia and

I need a set of 3.54 gears and wonder if anyone might have an opinion on the

Did you  compare the shocks before you put them on.  Could be a difference 
there.  Unless you
had your old ones rebuilt then they should be identical.

Curt,

That happened to me in '74 with my Sunbeam Alpine. Ah youth. 

I remember the winter of 78. I was in Dayton and we had some record breaking snows. It followed the winter of 77 when we had a month of 20 below. Respects to our friends in more northern climates.

Greg,

I was in Indiana '74-'78 and I remember those record cold temps and snow.
40 degrees below zero with wind chill in Lafayette IN., and the Sprite NEVER
failed to start.  Pooh, Pooh to all you Pertronix fans, the good old Prince
of Darkness never let me down.  In fact it would start with just a few
cranks.

Man, Not my story at all. Winter of 65-66 in Blacksburg, VA. If I had
an 8 o'clock, it would start. If I had a 9 o'clock, it wouldn't. Had
to call the Gulf station on the other side of town soooo many times
just to get it cranked, that the next winter I bought a Blacksburg car
('53 Ford wagon) just to use on those days the Healey wouldn't start.

John,
By "axle bearing", I assume you are referring the bearings in the rear hubs
instead of the bearings in the differential. In any case, there is no such
thing as an axle bearing. The rear axle "shaft" never touches any bearing.
As for the rear hub bearing, there is a spacer.  It's function is to fill the
distance between the outer race of the hub bearing and the axle shaft "flange"
so that the outer race of the bearing cannot turn. There are no shims anywhere
in this system and that is why they do not appear in any parts catalog. That
spacer should stand proud
of the hub (with the gasket in place) a few thousands of an inch, so that,
when the axle flange is tightened to the hub, there is a clamping force
applied to the flange, bearing and spacer.
If you explain to us why you think you need shims we can probably give you
more information to fix your problem.

Sorry, my fault.  The real time folks get a list of links in each message,
digest subscribers get different info.  I'll have to work on correcting
that.

Come on, man. My youngest son lives in Redondo Beach and he tells me that he
loves it because he can snow ski on Bear Mountain in the morning and surf in
the Pacific in the afternoon. You must lead a very sheltered life.

You mean that white stuff that I see when I open my patio door, walk out and
look at the mountains?
Never saw it up close.  See from what I have been able to Google, California
has just about as much of this "snow" as any other state, but apparently we
are smart enough not to live in that shit, we keep it up in the mountains
were, if we get the urge, we can visit it.  Speaking personally I never had
the urge.

Hi Richard,

I was in a hurry when I chose my words. It was the rear hub bearing 
shim that I was interested in. The shop manual states that the outer 
face of the bearing spacer should protrude by .001 to .004 beyond the 
hub face and I wanted to have shims available if I needed them. I 
don't think I will though, because the spacer is at least .006 
without a gasket.

Differential question came up because I am rebuilding the rear end as 
part of the frame up restoration. The rear drive train up to the 
OD/transmission will be complete in two weeks!

Thanks for making me think about how the axle and hubs work and 
offering to help!

John, I've had a 3.54 Lempert gear set in my BJ8 since February 2002, and it
never occurred to me to obliterate the original markings.  Why do that?  If
you do it on the diff, why not the axle housing, too?   The diff is so
robust it isn't likely that anyone will ever need to do any replacement of
the gears again unless they want to go back to the original 3.9, and in that
case they would want the original markings.
 
I converted my car to negative ground, also, but I didn't obliterate the
"positive earth" words on the tachometer.

It has been a while since I did the rear axle bearing replacement, but as I
recall I used a two or three 0.004" front wheel bearing shims placed around
the rear axle flange while pressing in the bearing and spacer.  This
provided the necessary protrusion of the spacer in accordance with the shop
manual.

If your experience is like mine, you may find that the paper gaskets available
today (regardless of the source) are too thick to leave the spacer proud of
the hub face. The gaskets I received were Approx. .013" thick. I made my own
gasket out of regular bond paper (Approx. .003-.004" thick). Use the gasket
you buy as a template for the gaskets you make.

Hello,



I am in the process of rebuilding the engine of my 100. In order to get
some more punch from it, I am thinking about fitting DW forged pistons
with an 9,5:1 compression ratio.  You all know that if you talk to three
people (all of them not A-H 100 owners) you will get at least four
different opinions. Statements given were:





"You will get detonation at this compression rate"

"You will loose all smoothness of that engine"

" A motor with that CR is only drivable on the track"

"You will have to buy three head gaskets every year"



I am aware that most of this is probably nonsense, but... maybe..??



I guess there must be experienced folks on the list who are running
engines with a 9,5:1 compression ratio. Please come forward and share
your experiences and thoughts with me.



Regards

A CR of 9,5 does not sound extreme to me and you will probably get away 
with 95 (EU) octane petrol without any bother if you do not overdo it by 
leaning out the mixture or an extreme ignition advance curve.

Be very careful when raising the compressions on a 100/4. We just  
finished re doing a 100 M that had 13:1 flat top pistons in it the  
engine would run on and ping so bad on street gas that you could not  
drive it. Also due to the high compressions it cracked that crankshaft.

DW only shows a 8.5:1 and 10.5:1.  I would say that with the 10.5:1  
option you will have to be very selective on fuel and possibly be  
limited to race fuel.

When we are building a performance motor for the street we will use  
the 8.5:1 pistons with a good performance camshaft, New lightened  
flywheel and an aluminium head with hardened studs and special head  
gasket that does not LEAK. We also will use a verneer cam gear to  
adjust the cam timing to the optimum performance.

We have installed lots of light flywheels on both 4 and 6 cylinder  
cars. As low as 15 lbs and had no problems with idle, accleration or  
any other of the things that have been mentioned on previous e mails.

First of all thanks for the big number of replys to my question. To
clarify my plans:



I plan to use:



DW Fast road aluminum head with hardened studs and DW competition head
gasket.

100S profile camshaft 228/234 with new lightened followers and vernier
sprocket, block with valve relief pockets

10.5:1 DW pistons turned/dished to give 9.5:1 CR

Harmonic damper on crankshaft

Narrow fan belt conversion

Lightened original flywheel

All components precision balanced

Con rods equalized

Thomas,

In my opinion you're trying to do too much and it's not necessary.  The head
alone along with some minor tuning will give you more than enough punch as
you call it.

The re-designed standard head was first developed and produced by the folks
at SC Parts in England.  The re-design of the head solved most of the
breathing issues inherent with the old design plus the added benefit that
this head isn't prone to cracking like the iron one.

Denis Welch took the basic design and casting and brought it up a level.

Mark Lambert of Tennessee, technical director for the Club did an evaluation
on the SC head on a standard BN2 using stock H-4 carburetors.  He found a
number of interesting things to include.

The effective power range of the engine was doubled, from the stock
2,500-3,500 to now 2,200-4,200 RPM.

Mark claimed that the new head gave better breathing than was attempted with
the LeMans modification.  It didn't matter that you put bigger carburetors
on the car, you just could not force that much air into an already
restrictive head.

According to Mark, on the re-designed head you could now fit a golf ball
through yjr intake passages where on the old head you could barely fit two
fingers.  Also, the larger H-6 carburetors were not needed, and in fact the
H-4's worked great giving a higher velocity of airflow.

Couple this with a hotter cam, balanced parts, and one trick I know that I
personally discussed with Denis Welch was using old Buick Straight Eight
lifters and custom push-rods.

You should get a 100 that will out run a stock LeMans modified car and keep
up with a stock BJ8.

The trick with compression is that you want to achieve a dynamic compression
ratio of 8:1 on all Healey engines. If you raise the static compression on an
engine you must use a longer duration cam, i.e. rally or race. If you use a
such a cam the dynamic compression is lowered and you will be fine. It's quite
straight forward to calculate the dynamic compression. You don't consider the
complete stroke (static) rather the remaing stroke after the intake valve has
closed. If you calculate with different cams you will see the difference and
that with longer duration you will get a lower compression. I build both 3000
and 100 engines with 300 degree cams for road use, without hesitation, pingin
or run on.

Message-ID: <003801cbb349$daabae60$90030b20$@ca>

Hi Tom,

Depending upon the octane you run, you will likely NOT get any detonation
issues.   Generally, detonation only occurs at compression ratios over
10.5:1.  I run a compression ratio of 10.2:1 with 91 octane fuel and have no
issue.   Occasionally, I purchase race fuel (octane 118) so that I can
advance my ignition timing and take the car for a good run.

Can't understand why you would loose any smoothness to the engine.....  This
is more a factor of the camshaft than the compression ratios.

With respect to a 9.5:1 compression ratio being a "track car".   Nonsense.
Most modern cars today are running higher compression than in the days of
old....especially with the advent of variable timing.   Track cars are
running compression ratios or >11:1 with high octane fuel.

Overall, a compression ratio of 9.5:1 would not be aggressive.  

The downside of increasing your compression might be along the lines of
disappointment.   I've never been a fan of trying to improve a cars
performance on a piecemeal basis.  An engine is a coordinated piece of
machinery; changing one thing without changing others has limited impact.
The biggest limitation of an engine is it's ability to breath......  just
because you increase the compression ratio does not mean that the engine
will be able to flow the intake and exhaust properly to accommodate.

DW forged pistons are expensive and I think there are a lot better ways to
get a bigger bang for your buck.....I would focus on the breathing of the
engine (intake and exhaust).  The three things I would do are:  change the
camshaft too something with a mildly larger overlap, spend some money
getting the head ported, install some exhaust headers, purchase a lightened
flywheel and get the crank/flywheel dynamically balanced.  This will give
you a much improved engine.....Now, if you add the 9.45:1 compression
pistons, you'll notice it and the engine will be able to take full
advantage.

Maybe a good choice would be to fab a small alum stamped tag and mount it to
one of the studs.  Just a thought.

Hi,

I Drive presently a 100 M with these modifications and it is a very
pleasant ride with a lot of power and a very good idle. These
modification were done by Bob Nicholson at BRITTANIC MOTORS Avon MA ,
you could probably contact him for more info.

Interesting note on the Buick lifters. From information that I have recently
come across the Welsh crew extracted info on the use of these parts from a
long time 100 owner in Hawaii. While sourcing a new crank and rods from the
Welsh's "the owner" asked about valve train parts availability. The GM lifter
discussion occured and the US source for the lifters and push rod sizes was
given up. I understand that these parts will/may be availble from the Welsh's
in the future. They currently offer modified stock lifters in their parts
listing but haven't seen the bucket lifters yet.

As an aside, when that 100 owner, whom we will call Andy, traveled as a young
man 30 years ago to England to work the family farm, he left several amunition
boxes filled with miscellaneous parts with me.  As I was cleaning out the
garage loft last month Andy was assisting. We found the ammo boxes with an
interesting partial set of push rods and lifters inside. Yes they were the
straight 8 lifters. A long discussion followed on where the parts came from
and the merits of light weight cam followers and associated parts. Andy's
current 100 engine that was recently assembled uses those straight 8 GM bucket
lifters and custom super lightweight pushrods sourced in the US along with a
bullet proof bottom end from Welsh.

Regarding the Personally I run 10:1 pistons with a slightly relieved
combustion chamber on 92 pump gas in our 100. Probably in the 9.5:1 range. No
run-on or pinging. Certainly not as smooth as a stock 100 but the cam has some
impact on that aspect.

No, you are not reading it correctly - or, it is just one of your cutie
comments ...

I am saying that with 185x15 the car looks more like the factory 'original'
non metric size, and, looks better design wise - in terms of filling the wheel
well - as intended.  The 165x15 is a poor compromise for the original size in
my opinion - just too 'skinney'.

Here is also some good information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_W_transmission

As far as I know, all of the aluminum cased W series transmissions look 
the same.  You may have to pick a gear that each one has a different 
ratio and try to determine which it is by turning the input shaft and 
observing revolutions of the output shaft.  Shifter position is 
different for different original uses, but could have easily been changed.

A future owner might want to know. Moreover, I have a 3.91 pumpkin 
with the stampings. It appears that removing the stamping from the 
axle housing will take more grinding while it was just a little on 
the pumpkin which can be easily changed.

Robert,

I understand your point but 165X15 IS the original radial size for BN2s
onward.  An no, they do not fill up the wheel well as do the bias ply
tires.  Actually the 175X15's have the same rolling diameter as the original
bias ply's and is probably what the factory should have used as a radial
tire option.

Subject: [Healeys] Compression ratio for a fast road 100
Message-ID: <132497.8451.qm@web112510.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

If my memory serves me correct(iffy these days), there was an old '55 or '56
mag that had modifications for a 100 to make it faster and more reliable. One
of those mods was the use of push rods and lifters from a "GM" engine. Maybe
Buick? The push rods and lifters were lighter allowing for higher revs. The
rods had a larger surface which mated to the lifters which made the engine
quieter.
I may dig out the old magazine someday(sooner if someone graces my bank
account with an obscene amount of money). and post the article and/or give it
to Simms for his website.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Compression ratio for a fast road 100

Interesting note on the Buick lifters. From information that I have recently
come across the Welsh crew extracted info on the use of these parts from a
long time 100 owner in Hawaii. While sourcing a new crank and rods from the
Welsh's "the owner" asked about valve train parts availability. The GM lifter
discussion occured and the US source for the lifters and push rod sizes was
given up. I understand that these parts will/may be availble from the Welsh's
in the future. They currently offer modified stock lifters in their parts
listing but haven't seen the bucket lifters yet.

As an aside, when that 100 owner, whom we will call Andy, traveled as a young
man 30 years ago to England to work the family farm, he left several
amunition
boxes filled with miscellaneous parts with me.  As I was cleaning out the
garage loft last month Andy was assisting. We found the ammo boxes with an
interesting partial set of push rods and lifters inside. Yes they were the
straight 8 lifters. A long discussion followed on where the parts came from
and the merits of light weight cam followers and associated parts. Andy's
current 100 engine that was recently assembled uses those straight 8 GM
bucket
lifters and custom super lightweight pushrods sourced in the US along with a
bullet proof bottom end from Welsh.

Regarding the Personally I run 10:1 pistons with a slightly relieved
combustion chamber on 92 pump gas in our 100. Probably in the 9.5:1 range. No
run-on or pinging. Certainly not as smooth as a stock 100 but the cam has
some
impact on that aspect.

All, 
 
When I had the fly lightened for my BN7 I went to my machinist.  He was a Mini 
racer and had experience on lightening flys on many race cars.  He cautioned 
against lightening too much.  The nasty part is the fly could fly apart under 
hard driving, becoming flyiing bits of shrapnel and tearing up legs.  He reduced 
mine to 17.something lbs.  Runs smoothly and revs quickly.  Feels real peppy! 
 
Anyone recall the orig weight of the 6 cyl fly?  I want to say 22-23 lbs.

The lightened steel flywheel I purchased from AHealey Spares is
15lbs.....when I weighed the old one it was 36lbs.

This was from a 2.9 litre engine

You are correct that using the bucket lifters were reported in a US magazine
decades ago.  I hope my earlier post

did not incorrectly infer that "Andy" originated the idea but only that this
info was passed on to the Welsh's by him. Again my understanding of the
events.

Its like a bottle of wine. Even you pay megamoney for it its still a bottle of

The 185's are just fatter. They don't fill up the wheel arches heightwise,
that all depends on the tire profile. Obviously any kind of modern tyre
should be avoided because the profile is too low.

The original tyres were skinny, but they had a high profile and so from a
side view they filled out the arches. BJ8 Phase II being the exception as
the rear arches were always too high even for the original tyres.

Isn't it possible to count the teeth on the internal gears and do the ratio 
math just like on a Healey unit?

Mark, some (but not all) rear axles have the ratio stamped on them near the
rear axle serial number.   Not all rear axles have a serial number.
See the attached photo for an example.  The "11/43" is the ratio.

Although our experience is mostly with "S" headed 100 engines I would hasten
to point out that many hours of dyno testing has indicated to us that trying
to get more power by increasing the usable RPM range from a normally
aspirated 100 style, long stroke, engine is not very successful.
Modifications to these engines with the intention of  improving the 3 -5000
RPM breathing produce good results and, because the standard valve train and
springs, when in good condition, are quite adequate up to 6000 RPM, efforts
to reduce valve train weight may produce only a marginal increase in
reliability and will make little or no difference to power.
Actual results may vary etc etc....

Message-ID: <002b01cbb40c$1fdc4e50$5f94eaf0$@cox.net>

Patrick, Perry, Michael,

If my memory serves me correct the fast 100s race guys in 1960 Southern
California were saying that they were reaching 8000 rpm. That was with
using:

Line bored main bearing saddles.

Fully polished crankshafts.

Fifteen pound flywheels.

Some, I believe had front crank dampers, but not all.

Lightened rods with high strength rod bolts.

Flat top pistons.

300 degree cams, Isky or Elgin, when combined with the flat top pistons gave
reasonable dynamic compression.

10 to 20 thousands milling on the head.

"Open it all the way out" porting on the head, with manifold matching.

1949 Buick Road Master straight 8 lifters and push rods.

Polished valve rockers.

Titanium valve retainers, I think made for 265/283 Chevys.

I think 265/283 Chevy valve springs, often with larger diameter fly cut
valve spring head surfaces.

Exhaust headers with exhaust before the rear wheel.

Rich SU needles.

I think most had the vacuum advance defeated.

 

Michael, I take your point based on your experience. If these guys were
reaching 8000, the question remains was there enough torque above 6000 to
make it worthwhile?

 

As I said before, in 1960 I installed the Road Master lifters and pushrods.
They were both lighter and stronger than the Austin items. I often explored
5000 - 5200 rpm. I felt the engine was smoother with the lighter valve gear.

Steve,

If my memory serves me correctly, the fast 100s guys were also using Chevy
265/283 intake valves and I think Dodge exhaust valves.

I read the original tire size as 5.90x15 and googled that.
I found this tire chart:http://www.pmcweb.fr/healey/atelier/pneus.htm

Ira,

True enough. Most used the 265/283 Chevy, I think one used a nail head Buick
and I think there was one Olds. 260 Fords and 215 Buick aluminum V8s came
later. I don't know of any straight 6 conversions, generally too long to
consider, nor of any flathead Ford conversions. And of course no Chrysler
hemi engines as their hemi heads are huge. Back to the 6 cylinders. I think
one guy was trying to put a 3.4L Jag engine in a Healey. Most used the
transmission that mated to the engine, typically a Borg Warner 4 speed. Most
of these guys used the Ford 9 inch rear end, but I didn't understand why
given that the Healey BN2 rear end was more than adequate for  V8 powered
road race use. I guess they were emulating the drag race guys.

I have seen a couple 100's on ebay with Chevy 6's.  One with a "blue
flame" the other with a regular stovebolt.

The latter was a real hatchet job.

Jonas,
Thanks for the info. I surely do not know of all the early 60s conversions
going on. Having owned a stovebolt Chevy 6, (Paid the dealer $100 for the
car with a guarantee good 'til the driveway) I am having a hard time see why
someone would want to put a stovebolt 6 in a Healey 100. Because it was
lying in the garage? As you probably know the stovebolt Chevy had splash
lubrication of the rod journals--not want one would want in a performance
engine--and it was heavy.

I've bought a couple ... they had crimped bullet connectors where you'd expect them and spade connectors where you'd expect them. The only leads that don't come with terminals are for the side lights which use the 'fold back the wires' type of terminal. 

Overall, the quality has been excellent.

To other who have offered a source. Tom Monaco
(http://tomsimport.com<http://tomsimport.com/new/index.asp>) is
offering 20% no local shipping. So I ordered one from him. I live 5 minutes
from him.
Thanks for feedback on wire ends.  replacement harness was installed 35
years ago, so it's time for  a new one. At least I can compare with the old
one.

The Moss harness that I installed in my BT7 tricarb a few years ago had 
all of the bullets and terminals attached.
Where it did fall short was with the sockets for the instrument bulbs.  
They used a different type of socket because the original type are no 
longer made.  They also shorted me with not enough sockets to light up 
the instruments.  I ended up using parts from my old harness to modify 
the Moss harness, which wasn't really a problem, but I was pissed 
because it was not totally right and there was no warning.

Britboy (Brad Del Sorbo in CT) sells them on eBay. You may want to check as a
price comparison. I bought one. I assume it's right.  The part I installed fit
all the right places.

Greetings,

Untill I recive the parts for the differential, I have dismantled the
transmission. After the shock of the differential, I was sceptic - and not
without cause. The box is in need of a major overhaul. Can You recommend a
good source of transmission parts?
Tomorow I will put some pics on my "site" to let You see the problem.

Have a nice weekend!

I fully agree with David in term of Syncro's......ask me how I know!

Also, be clear on your gearbox model.....early BJ8 syncros are not the same
as late model.

I'm certain you will really enjoy mating the gearbox and overdrive together
at the end.

David's book as a good tip on getting the overdrive plunger back in.

Re the lifters and pushrods:

My 100 came to me with a workshop manual in which the first owner made some
notes about an Iskenderian cam (I believe a T-3) that he installed, along
with Buick lifters and (I think) Studebaker pushrods.  Out of curiosity I
called Iskenderian and spoke with Ed's son who was very familiar with this
set-up.  He told me that his Dad   regularlysold the pushrods and lifters as
a kit along with the cam for Healey 100's back in the day.

Technically the optimum size is based on the rim width, therefore the 
tyre section size dimension is the selection criteria. You may have a 
choice of aspect ratio depending on the tyre market and supplier 
arrangement in your area.

I am pleased to see Michael is 'back' and agree that 175mm width was my 
choice.

 From the introduction or radial carcas construction versus the Healey 
design period cross-ply generally the go was lower profile ( aspect 
ratio ) therefore a corressponding smaller rolling radius and overall 
diameter.

Handling and tyre tread stability depends on the tyre fit to the rim width.

I do also recognise the one should not stuff-up the look of a Healey

Michael, your Michelins might be old (like ten years) and dangerous due to
age. I got what was suppose to be the last batch in 2002. They were dated
2000. I'm replacing them this spring even though they have low miles and lots
of tread left. Be safe and check the DOT dates.

If you have a BN1 with three speed box, leave your engine alone.  You will
break your gearbox with any additional power.

Yes, Some guys back then considered the Healey to be just another kind of
Willys. Small, light, simple--good for the drag strip.

hap, probably because the chevy six was dirt cheap.  i used to pay five
bucks for a stovebolt back in the fifties, so probably 25-50 bucks in the
60s and 70s.  some guys do not care about chopping up a car and the healey
was not that valuable then.   hjim

Subject: Siamese twins





Siamese twins walk into a bar in Canada and park themselves on a bar stool.
One of them  says to the bartender, "Don't mind us; we're joined at the hip.
I'm John, he's Jim. Two Molson Canadian beers, draft please."

The bartender, feeling slightly awkward, tries to make polite conversation
while pouring the beers. "Been on holiday yet, lads?"

"Off to England next month," says John "We go to England every year, rent a
car and drive for miles. Don't we, Jim?" Jim agrees.

"Ah, England!" says the bartender. "Wonderful country . . . the history, the
beer, the culture . . ."

"Nah, we don't like that British crap," says John. "Hamburgers and Molson's
beer, that's us, eh Jim? And we can't stand the English - they're so arrogant
and rude."

"So why keep going to England?" asks the bartender.

"It's the only chance Jim gets to drive."

I bought my new wiring harness from British Wiring when they were still in
Illinois.  The company has since been sold to someone else in Pennsylvania,
but is still in business (http://www.britishwiring.com).
My harness was correct and exactly like original, including the bulb
sockets.  The only thing wrong was the wires in the steering column to the
turn signal switch were laid out to be the same color as the wires coming
out of the turn signal lights.  Actually, by the BMC wiring diagram the turn
signal wires go through a connector and change to a different color before
going to the switch.  This caused a bit of confusion before I figured out
what they had done.  When I told them about it, British Wiring said no one
had ever pointed it out before, which seems strange.  I have no idea if they
ever corrected that.

Would it be possible to get a scan from this article? Also the

Once in a while members of this list indicate that they have "certain" items
for sale and since the list does not support attachments are forced to
forward photos individually to interested parties. Usually they indicate
that they are offering these items up for sale to List members prior to
listing on eBay or similar sites. I have built a "For Sale" page on my site
on which you can find items that our friends wish to sell. The following
rules will apply:

1. I will NOT accept a listing from a commercial enterprise.
2. Items to be listed must be accompanied with a good description, including
photographs, sellers name and phone number and/or email address.
3. Items will generally be listed for 30 days or sooner if sold.
4. I make no warranty as to the representations made by the sellers. They
are Healey people and I would trust that any purchaser would use due
diligence in conversations with the seller as is now done when one buys
direct from another Healey person. My only intent is to make it easier for
the dissemination of information so that you can make an informed decision.
6. All questions must be directed to the seller(s) not me.

There are two items listed by one seller at present.

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel line clips
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110115191848.02005878@pop.att.yahoo.com>

I recently purchased some fuel line clips that are similar to the 
brake line clips.

When I tried to install the clips and fuel line I found that they do 
not really work with a 5/16" line; they seem to be for a smaller line 
but I know they are not for the brake lines because that is an even 
smaller clip.

My fuel line had clips and screws like the ones for the wiring 
harness when I took it out.

What a people doing for fuel line clips? Do I need a different clip?
Could it be that the frame rail holes are two small for the clip? My 
rail holes are 13/64" but could be a little larger due to paint interference.

Thanks for any help!

The Moss catalog shows the 'hairpin' style clips for BT7s up to car# 17351, and P-style clips thereafter.

I got the hairpin style clips for our BN2 from Moss, but they weren't correct (same problem you noted, plus they were 
too 'wimpy' for lack of a better term).  BCS has better ones, but they ain't cheap (about $4 each).

I wouldn't be surprised if, when Austin changed to the P-clip, they left the holes for the hairpin clips.

Subject: [Healeys] Fuel Gauge Problem
Message-ID: <AANLkTin9JQEyOF8BB=WuqFqHduM+RxqteUQc6YxwL-t5@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Listers,
Been joyfully driving my 64 BJ8 for a little over a month now through the
holidays and the cold weather. Finally got down to some definitive
troubleshooting on my fuel gauge problem, without any resolution yet.
 Here's a concise explanation.
Smith's Gauge - not original, but supposed to be a BJ8 gauge. No identifying
numbers anywhere on the exterior. Restored/rebuilt by Nisonger.
Sending unit - brand new from Moss, part number 021-571.  Restorer modified
float mechanism was so electrical connection faces forward and float
assembly points rearward and float travels full height of tank. Can anybody
confirm that arrangement?

Problem - tank reads 5/8 full when empty and needle is out of sight past
full when full.

Troubleshooting.  With tank full, voltage at Battery side of gauge is 12 v,
Tank side is 1.6 v.  Resistance across gauge is 62 ohms when completely
disconnected.
                          With tank empty (out of gas), voltage at sending
unit is 7 v.
                          With sending unit out of tank, resistance at full
down position is 85 ohms, voltage when grounded is 7 v, gauge reads 5/8
full.

Sorry, don't know how the last message got sent, somebody must have hit
something on the keyboard.

Problem - tank reads 5/8 full when empty and needle is out of sight past
full when full.

Troubleshooting.  With tank full, voltage at Battery side of gauge is 12 v,
Tank side is 1.6 v.  Resistance across gauge is 62 ohms when completely
disconnected.
                          With tank empty (out of gas), voltage at sending
unit is 7 v.
                          With sending unit out of tank, resistance at full
down position is 85 ohms, voltage when grounded is 7 v, gauge reads 5/8
full.

resistance at full up position is 1.5 ohms, voltage when grounded is 0.5 v,
gauge reads out of sight past full.

Anybody know what's wrong?

Cheers,
Rick

Sounds like the gauge needs to be calibrated as per this site:

Are gauge and sender matched? If the gauge is a later 110: unit you also 
need a later sender unit and a 10V voltage stabilizer.

I'd strongly suggest you go for P-clips for your fuel line, screwed to the 
frame rails in such a way that the fuel line itself is above the bottom edge 
of the frame rail so it has at least some protection from hitting rocks or 
debris in the road. Personally, as a concours judge, I'd give you a pass on 
that arrangement, since the original clips really to put the fuel line, and 
you, in jeopardy.

Rick:  I didn't get into the voltage, resistance, calibrate phase of 
adjusting my fuel sender/gauge readings.  I just bent the float arm until I 
had a very close approximation on the 'empty' end of the scale.  The only 
thing that was important to me was to know when I would run out of gasoline 
(before it happened, Ed).  As insurance, if in doubt, I also carry a dip 
stick in the trunk.

Look in the Fuel System section on the Technical page of my site for the
"Fuel Dip Stick".  Listed as "Emergency Fuel Gauge". The photos are of the
one that I made using a piece of leftover quarter round. I use it all the
time even though I think that my Fuel Gauge is relatively accurate.

Rick:  I didn't get into the voltage, resistance, calibrate phase of
adjusting my fuel sender/gauge readings.  I just bent the float arm until I
had a very close approximation on the 'empty' end of the scale.  The only
thing that was important to me was to know when I would run out of gasoline
(before it happened, Ed).  As insurance, if in doubt, I also carry a dip

Subject: [Healeys] Queensland Floods - A land of droughts and flooding rains
Message-ID: <4D3399AB.2060002@iinet.net.au>

Were occasional listers and members of the Queensland Healey Club 
living in Brisbane, were in the flood affected area and sadly many 
Queenslanders are badly affected by the floods.Weve just spent a few 
days helping out with the volunteer army and the scale of peoples loss 
is heartbreaking.Thankfully we only had about three feet of water 
through our granny flat in the basement, and our family, friends and 
pets are all safe and sound.On the scale of things around here our 
misfortune is equivalent to the inconvenience of a mosquito bite so we 
cant complain.Im sure youve seen footage on the tube and therell be 
reams of print on the floods, but I thought Id share a couple of brief 
Healey related stories illustrating the terrific community spirit 
fostered by the floods.

We recently sold our much travelled BJ8 and bought a project BJ8 from 
San Diego and a local barn find BN1 as retirement projects.As Murphys 
Law always dictates the BJ8 arrived on the dock in Brisbane just as the 
flood was approaching.With water lapping at our back fence I received a 
call from the shipping agent advising that the car was ready for pick 
up.I let the lady know that we werent in a good position to collect the 
Healey and could she please store it for a week or so until the crisis 
passed.She replied that their holding shed was near the Brisbane River 
and as the water was rapidly rising perhaps it would be best to collect 
the car.Now Big Healeys are tough cars but not wanting to see it 
featured in the amphibious challenge on Australian Top gear I thought I 
should get it out fast.A quick call to a local tilt tray operator and he 
promised to do his best.To cut a long story short, he collected the car, 
tried to get to our place but was blocked by floodwater so he took the 
car to his own back yard shed (high and dry) to store until things 
returned to normal (at no cost).I dont know the bloke from a bar of 
soap but Im sure hes ridgy didge (the real deal in USA lingo).

As the water rose we decided we should evacuate our garage where our BN1 
and all my tools, spare parts etc etc are stored.I rang a mate up the 
street and asked for a hand.Within minutes, like the cavalry charging 
over the hill, an army of 30 local residents descended on our garage.The 
scene resembled a fast forward scene from one of those home reno shows 
as in about twenty minutes flat they moved the entire contents of our 
garage to higher ground.As I ran around like a headless chook trying to 
give directions it all happened around me and all our possessions were 
saved.

The last thing left in the garage was the BN1 and one young lad 
commented cool car, wed better make sure it doesnt go under

Sort of restores your faith in human nature

Cheers from Down Under

Thanks for the replies guys.  I'm an ol' attack bombardier/navigator and
love fuel gauge redundancy myself.  I use the trip odometer religiously, but
I'll have to add the dip stick trick to my bag.  Sounds like I'll be out
calibrating the gauge at the next opportunity if I can find a couple of 68
ohm resistors.  And finally, I don't have a clue if the gauge and sender are
matched, in fact I'd expect them not to be, and don't know how I'll find
out.  I plan to call Nisonger tomorrow to see if they can help with the
specs and calibration.
Nobody answered if they knew how the sending unit is supposed to sit on the
tank.  Electrical connection facing forward?  Float facing rearward?
Cheers,
Rick

The jury is still out on that. It is really a Title IX issue. If Rugby were
to stay under the Athletic Department, then that would create a big
imbalance of 60 men and no offsetting women on other teams. By moving Rugby
to the Office of the Vice Chancellor 60 male slots are removed from the
Athletic Department thereby making it easier for the Athletic Department to
conform to Title IX as far as the requirement of having equal numbers of men
and women on Varsity teams. Cal Rugby is largely self-sufficient due to a
large endowment and many former players who historically make large
donations to the program. There are no scholarships involved as none have
been offered in the past and the team will still have its own field and
other amenities as they enjoy now according to the Chancellor. Actually, as
part of the renovation of Memorial Stadium (American football), the Rugby
field is being upgraded. It is really a numbers game not a financial game as
far as Rugby at Cal is concerned.

Hope there is Rugby. This weekend Cal beat USC, Washington State, Oregon,
Utah, Arizona and UCLA (twice) by a total score of 246 to 20. Off to another
great season. Played 6 games on Saturday and one today for the tournament
championship.

Rick: The consensus on The List is that the float should face forward so 
that it drops down into the recess in the bottom of the tank.  Although I 
don't recall a question about which way the electrical connection should be 
facing, I have been told, and the Moss catalog diagram seems to indicate, 
that it should be to the rear.  However, the sending unit in my BJ8 has both 
the float and the electrical connection facing forward.  No explanation has 
been available for that.

The BMC parts manual shows the float arm direction to be forward.  The
diagram does not show the electrical terminal, but both original floats I
have had in my fuel tank, as well as both of the Moss replacements I have
used in an effort to find a good one have had the terminal toward the front
of the car.
The photo provided in the Moss on-line catalog for their replacement sending
unit also shows the terminal and the float arm on the same side of the unit:
http://www.mossmotors.com/graphics/products/PDF/980-004.pdf.
 
I found that my replacement fuel tank interferes with the float arm when it
is oriented forward, so I had to turn the sending unit one hole
counterclockwise to remove the interference.

Any experience with these is greatly appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am still pulling dents out of my frame (thanks to everyone that gave me ideas on how to do it) its a slow process but it is working...........Anyway I have found a set of rear  fenders and a trunk  lid ,they have never been installed and were bought at least 5 -? years ago from Moss they are painted black primer and were made in England. I have not seen them as they are located 700 miles away. My question is ......I have read there is a fitting problem with these ,does anyone have experience with these that could explain what the issues are ? what to look for? etc.etc.   Also what is a reasonable price to pay ....I have been looking for original fenders for a long time,but the ones I find have many issues as well (rust,etc.)

But another judge might not give a pass. What is a person to do? Is it common
practice in concours for judges to "give passes" based upon personal
preferences?
Gary Hodson




Personally, as a concours judge, I'd give you a pass on
hat arrangement, since the original clips really to put the fuel line, and
ou, in jeopardy.

What parts is it you need. We have lots of used trans and overdrive  
parts. However I would not go used when it comes the the cluster or  
First gear as well as the syncros. Unless you just enjoy having your  
car sitting in the garage and working on the transmission rather than  
out driving it like they are intended to be .

They won't fit well at all.  Actually I've never seen a good fitting
replacement fender.  The front are worse then the rear.  You most likely will
have to cut and weld the fender in several areas to make it fit, and still do
bodywork after that.  They typically bow out away from the shroud lip.  I have
spent 10hrs plus of metal work before getting two fenders to fit.  Originals
would be the best, but they still require fitting.  Sorry to sound so
negative.  They can be fit, it just takes more work then most would expect.

In all the years I've been judging I don't believe I've ever looked
underneath the car hard enough to notice the fuel line clips. Don't worry.

In my one experience about 30 years ago, I had a rr fender that did
not line up all that well, but after hours of pulling, pushing,
tugging and cussing by myself, it ended up being a very good fit. No
more havy duty work than that. Probably just depends on how lucky you
get.

I have to say I look underneath the cars and check as I need to see how the
chassis rails look and if they are strait. I do not check all the bolt heads
if they are the right ones and if there are the right paint marks on the
springs or the wiring looms have the tracer in right colour.
But that's my preferences.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] Fuel Line Clips

Gary

In all the years I've been judging I don't believe I've ever looked underneath
the car hard enough to notice the fuel line clips. Don't worry.

Cheers,

Curt

PS  And my motto is... "If I can't see it then, I can't judge it, and I don't
care."

In the strict sense of judging, if something is known and stated and
observed to be incorrect for the serial number and point in time of
production, there should be a deduction appropriate to the severity and
frequency of the error. However, as Curt stated it may not be observed
therefore may not be deducted. Keep in mind there are a lot of little things
that won't be seen due to the fact that judging takes place with the car on
the ground, and in a practical sense, if we can't see it, we can't deduct
for it.

I would take issue with the fuel line clip vs. the P clip. The fuel line
clip can be tricky to install but really holds well and keeps the line well
out of harm's way. The method I find works best is to snap the clip over the
line and then start the shank into the hole. Gently tap the ends of the clip
until it snaps into the hole. Originals go in beautifully this way, but some
repros can suddenly break off. Prepare to break about 1 in 5 of the repros.

Personally, as a concours judge, I'd give you a pass on
hat arrangement, since the original clips really to put the fuel line, and
ou, in jeopardy.

Subject: [Healeys] Nice Black on Yellow CA Plate for early AH..
Message-ID: <422003.57485.qm@web37904.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

All, There is a nice set of early black on yellow plates [AAH690] for sale on
ebay that would look great on an ealy AH - link below.  CA law allows you to
use these plates now by simply trading in your newer plates and using original
period plates that align with your AH's YOM - for yellow/black this would be
54 to 62.  63 started the yellow on black plates.

I have used this process with the CA DMV and it is simple with minimal
paperwork - providing the period plate you wish to use on the car is NO LONGER
on the DMV computer.  AAH690 is apparently NOT on the computer, and so are
usable now.

I have yellow on black plate SYS900 on my 65 BJ8.  Visually way better than a
modern plate.

Minimal extra fees per year.

I recently asked Bill Bolton if he still had lightened flywheels  
available.
He responded that he does not have them for the BJ8.
Don't know about other models.

List,

I completely agree with Mr. Blair. A pair of YOM (Year Of Manufacture) 
license plates are the finishing touch for your pristine Austin-Healey. 
The only problem is you would not wish to put a very used looking set 
like these on your restoration. I have found a gentleman in Georgia who 
not only does outstanding plate restorations, he specializes in 
California plates. http://www.tagdr.com/ Rod Pearman's prices and 
turnaround time are excellent. He has done two pairs for me, my '53 BN1 
and the personalized blue plates on my one-owner '72 240Z.

I rarely recommend anyone, but Rod is that good. NFI. Yada, yada, yada.

John,

They are designed to be reused.  But if you need to replace them, modern
equivalents are "Aerotight Nuts"

I have discovered that SS aerotite nuts tend to fracture after first
use, so if SS use only once.

<< They are designed to be reused. >>

Curt, whilst that is true [but I do not like to do so], the threaded
fastener *will* show 'evidence' of being "chewed up".  And I would
never re-use more than 3, maybe 4 times - threaded fastened only
twice [unless VERY non-heavy use, i.e. spare hold-down block];
three [3] times at worst.

I have my original BJ8 left rear and right front. They  need repair panels.
Pics available. Hate to take to the dump. 
My body guy would not touch the Moss replacements.

They won't fit well at all.  Actually I've never seen a good fitting
replacement fender.  The front are worse then the rear.  You most likely
will have to cut and weld the fender in several areas to make it fit, and
still do bodywork after that.  They typically bow out away from the shroud
lip.  I have spent 10hrs plus of metal work before getting two fenders to
fit.  Originals would be the best, but they still require fitting.  Sorry to
sound so negative.  They can be fit, it just takes more work then most would
expect.

Hello everyone,

I am still pulling dents out of my frame (thanks to everyone that gave me
ideas on how to do it) its a slow process but it is working...........Anyway
I have found a set of rear fenders and a trunk lid ,they have never been
installed and were bought at least 5 -? years ago from Moss they are painted
black primer and were made in England. I have not seen them as they are
located 700 miles away. My question is ......I have read there is a fitting
problem with these ,does anyone have experience with these that could
explain what the issues are ? what to look for? etc.etc. Also what is a
reasonable price to pay ....I have been looking for original fenders for a
long time,but the ones I find have many issues as well (rust,etc.)

Regards,
Mitch

The Aluminium pilot bushing with bearing pressed in. This is supplied by
Pete Delaney and is pressed in the flywheel. I "pressed" it in with a hammer
and soft drift with a rubberized hunk of gasket to keep from buggering up
the aluninium.



how do I get in touch with Pete Delaney? We are almost ready to install the

They can be reused, but be aware:  if you reuse them too many times they can
loosen on you.  This happened to me while on a trip, and before I noticed
anything wrong the splined hub adapter had worn "necks" into the studs, and
I eventually had to replace the studs as well as the nuts.
 
It's a good idea to mark "slip" marks on the nuts and adjacent hub adapter
surface (after torquing to 70 lb-ft) with a small spot or line of paint or
nail polish so that you can tell if the nuts begin to loosen.  You can see
through the wheel spokes if the marks become misaligned in the loosening
direction.

Some of the locknuts are slotted with two horizontal cuts parallel to

little web research I found that these can be reused a number of times.

Are people reusing this type of lock nut?

Hi Guys,

I most certainly didn't mean to imply you could reuse these indefinitely.
Once or twice is the accepted limit in my opinion.

This too good not to pass on.




Read before looking at the movie clip



   M I L I T A R Y    A I R C R A F T
   F-35's unintentional (?) loop at takeoff on a carrier.  This guy
  clearly has brass balls and you know the sailors on the flight
   deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them.
  Unintentional?  This is unbelievable!
   This is a real "check your laundry" event.  A supremely well-trained
  US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead
   of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million, F-35 joint strike
  force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt...
   Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem.
  There's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected
  at 100' upside down and lived, he would have.  Looks like the
  afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff.
  Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more
  "regressive testing".  This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight
  ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control...  If he
  didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been
  bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him!  Add to this
  flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment
  malfunctions, as in "flame out".  The F-35 is single engine aircraft
  with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics
  of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed.  This is the most unbelievable
  piece of flying you will ever see in your life.  This Guy deserves a
  Medal for saving a 70 Million DollarAircraft!!!!!!!!!!   You'll watch
  it at least 2 times!!!!!!!

This too good not to pass on. 




Read before looking at the movie clip 



M I L I T A R Y A I R C R A F T 
F-35's unintentional (?) loop at takeoff on a carrier. This guy 
clearly has brass balls and you know the sailors on the flight 
deck had a cow when they saw this unfold in front of them. 
Unintentional? This is unbelievable! 
This is a real "check your laundry" event. A supremely well-trained 
US Navy pilot, ice running in his veins instead 
of blood, fully regains control of his $70 million, F-35 joint strike 
force fighter, after a problematic vertical take-off attempt... 
Watch as the rear vertical thruster fires to cause the problem. 
There's nothing about this the pilot enjoys. If he could have ejected 
at 100' upside down and lived, he would have. Looks like the 
afterburner kicks in while still vectored for vertical takeoff. 
Lockheed would call this a "software malfunction" and do a little more 
"regressive testing". This is a good demonstration of power-to-weight 
ratio of this aircraft! And talk about stability control... If he 
didn't come out of the loop wings-level, it probably would have been 
bad news; maybe taking some of the carrier with him! Add to this 
flying through your own exhaust, which can lead to equipment 
malfunctions, as in "flame out". The F-35 is single engine aircraft 
with vertical takeoff/landing capability, but it has the aerodynamics 
of a Steinway piano at zero airspeed. This is the most unbelievable 
piece of flying you will ever see in your life. This Guy deserves a 
Medal for saving a 70 Million DollarAircraft!!!!!!!!!! You'll watch 
it at least 2 times!!!!!!!

Message-ID: <024a01cbb745$b7483420$25d89c60$@com>

Hello Tracy,

I've had the Dorman plug in place in the left-lower block spot, opposite the
pedals for 3-1/2 years. See

http://www.pbase.com/stevegerow/image/81903189

 

I used light gray Permatex RTV as a sealant but in the future would use a
hardening one.

 

Attached is the plug currently. It may have a slight weepage, but I had a
leaking valve cover gasket a while ago and what shows might just be residue
from that.

Tracy--

Though I have never blown a freeze plug on either of my Healeys I have blown
several on the MGA race engine in my Elva Courier.  Luckily they were ones
on the side of the block and I was able to access them--the one on the rear
of the block is inaccessible due to its proximity to the firewall.

In light of my experience I now use the Dorman plugs whenever I rebuild an
engine.  I clean the recess down to fresh metal and set the plugs in a
fast-drying two part epoxy and have had no problems since I started doing
this.  BTW I have experimented with trying to tap the hole for pipe thread
so that I could use a screw-in plug but could not find a tap that would get
a bite on the shoulder.

As a former Navy carrier  right seater (A-6E Intruder Bombardier/Navigator),
I  can subscribe to the notion that Navy Pilots are indeed #1.  However,
having seen this video,  and with my knowledge of aerodynamics, physics, and
carrier aviation, I have to conclude that the video is a fake.  Anybody
remember the video a year or two ago of a one wing stunt plane landing
safely?  It was a fake too.  Amazing how fakes can be made.  The F-35 is
likely a fabulous airplane, and Navy pilots are well trained, but I assert
that the video can't be real.

Message-ID: <AANLkTi=DnAGP0rDw=AhMLNqRKKnON5hqAnwodAdjwSSb@mail.gmail.com>

I've been off list for a few days, but I did manage to buy 68 ohm resistors
and talk to Dan at Nisonger.  My problem is an incorrect gauge - I have
BF2223/00 which is for a 62 to 64 MGB, and of course I need a FG 2333/10 for
my BJ8.  The BF is a bi-metallic gauge instead of the dual resistor with
magnet gauge that you can calibrate, so I'm out of luck on making this one
work.  Anybody know of a source for a rebuildable used FG2333/10, or a
source for rebuilt or new ones?  With the correct gauge, we wouldn't have
had to modify the sending unit to read correctly on the incorrect gauge.
 Now I can modify it back to how it's supposed to be with the electrical
connection and the float arm pointing forward - thanks to you who helped
with that last question too. On the positive side, I  can use the BF gauge
for my 65 MGB restoration.
Cheers,
Rick

Gergo,

Exactly what nuts and bolts are you referring to?

On the 100's, all of the steel parts on the SU carburetors were a black
oxide finish.  I believe the same was true for the BN4's with the exception
of the nuts that held the carbs to the manifolds, which would have been zinc
plated.

Several new features:

I have added a "competition" section to the Technical page for articles on
modifying our cars for competition. On such article (from 1961) is on the
site.

I am starting to add articles on the Technical page from other sources. I
have found that Wikipedia articles can be converted to PDF and downloaded.
They even have a link that allows you to do so. The first is on the
Miscellaneous section of the Technical page on the subject of "Parkerizing"
If you do not know what this is, read the article!!

Gonna snow again Thursday into late Friday morning so will have time to add
some more "stuff" before I kick in the old snow blower. At least with this
lousy weather there is something to drive.

Hi, my dad just bought a 58 austin healey 100-6 bn4 to restore and it came
with an extra motor.  We'd like to find it a good home.  He knows it isn't a
100-6 motor, it has 3 carbs, but do you know how we can find the year and
make
it is for?  The # is 26D/R/H53569.  Thanks!!!!!!!





               Derek


Oops!!!!!  My dad just came in from the shop and said 2 carbs at a 45.  So
maybe a 100-6 but the later engine?  Any ideas I would appreciate it or if
you
know someone who might know.  Thanks!!!!!

Hi Dave,

I copied you on this email because I bought the clips from BCS.

Do you know what diameter the snap-in-clip needs for the hole?

Thank you,

Thanks for the link, looks like a lot of history on that vehicle, very 
rough, but worth preserving rather than restoring? The plaques etc. tell the 
story of the interesting life the car led, but I guess the guy that plunks 
the money down will decide what will be done with it.

I know Jon Kelly; He publishes a tabloid motorsports newspaper in the Bay

for some more info. Will let you know what I hear.

I believe I should buy 60 spoke
I want

If you are using the standard factory set-up of drum brakes, I don't believe
you can put 60 spoke wheels on your BN2.  The spokes will come in contact
with the drums.  You can use 48 or 72 spoke wheels without problem.  If you
can find a custom offset 60 spoke wheel, that may work, but may be more
expensive.

Where you consider buying your wheels will yield differing opinions from
list members.  Moss does offer wheels made in England by MWS
http://www.mwsint.com/TheCompany.asp in chrome and painted.

There are many places to buy Vredestein tires in 165-185+ sizes.  It just
depends if you want a fairly close to original look or have a bit more
rubber on the ground.  I have the "Classic Sprint" 185 70R15 on my BT7 and
real pleased with them.

Everyone STOP!

He said he had disc brakes on the front, so 60 spoke wheels will work just
fine.

There has never been a problem with 60's on the rear.  60's also work fine
on BN1's both front and rear.

Cheers,

Ira,

NO - this is not correct.  PERIOD!

60 spoke wheels will work on the BN1 both early and late (later rear axle
with the wide brake drums) and the BN2 plus all other 6 cylinder Healeys.
The only problem are the front brake drums on a BN2 and the six cylinder
roadsters and then, it's minor and 60 spoke wheels can be ordered that will
fit without fouling.

Curt

No,

You need the pilot from Pete and the throw out bearing from Toyota.  You
will also need a new rear seal for the tranny and the angle adapter from
Toyota.

Did you get a manual with this kit?

Neil--

Did you have any clearance problems with the 185's?
BTW I have 60 spoke wheels on my 100, and though I have discs in front I
have no problems with the wheels interfering with the rear drums.  However
when I did get them (from BWW) I specifically told them the wheels were
going on a BN1 and as I remember they set up the wheels accordingly.

Best--Michael Oritt

I saw that.  My first thought was that it was worse than mine, until I
realized that it isn't piled as "high".
While this is a semi old picture, you can see that it is somewhat better than
it has been at some
points.http://www3.sympatico.ca/robertduquette/temp/garage.jpg( that cot frame
has found a new home and I was able to get the Midget over there this past
fall without having to use those dollies, the ladders are now suspended and
don't have to be hauled in and out to lower the lift, etc.  The vacant space
that you see in this image is still occupied by the Fiat in the winter,
despite me having given it to my son.  One bicycle is gone.  The MGC bonnet is
gone.  My dad's trailer frame is derusted and painted and assembled and put
aside )  I was able to walk from the front door to the back door of the garage
with all the cars in this past fall!!  That's a major accomplishment from the
past several years.
I have Miss Marple's performance engine off the shelves and being worked on..
In theory, this April, it should be in one piece again, instead of scattered
about the garage.
Progression / regression of the garage over the
years.http://www3.sympatico.ca/robertduquette/temp/the_garage.gif
Slow but steady progress at this point.  After getting the garage roof
structure repaired and new shingles last fall, I may drop the ceiling out next
summer and get more vertical space which may save my forehead somewhat.  I'll
only get about another 8 inches under the lift IIRC, which is max., but a
couple of feet more in some spots.
And, plans are to fix the pool shed this spring.  If I incorporate some
squirrel proof storage into the shed, then that gets me a bit more free space
( I almost wrote "storage" there instead of "free".  :))
It would be nice to find a 100M in there, but unless I win a lottery, it's not
going to happen.  :)

     John Sims has posted photos and some details of my '66 Nj8 / MK III 3000
on the For Sale section of his web site here
http://www.healey6.com/<http://www.healey6.com/> .

     I knew the time to sell it would come.  It's hard to think about just the
same.  It's a nice car - my second Bj8.

     Anyway I also have an original SU 'Carburetter' Workshop Manual.  Let me
know if you're interested.  $45 takes it.  An original BMC Workshop Manual and
BMC Service Parts List goes with the car.

Hello all,



It was a couple months ago,B I had a bad cell phone connection with the guy,
was having trouble understanding him, and finally gave up!B B  the car was
listed as MINT - in fact, this time the listing also said MINT, but I emailed
the person who actually is doing the listing and suggested to her that she
change the listing., which she promptly did...........



I'veB talked to a lot of people in the last couple months about a lot of cars,
and don't remember the details about this one - just that I was REALLY
disappointed to hear all the issues (since I believed I was calling about a
MINT car).............



If anyone is interested you DEFINITELY should call before
bidding..............

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Positive to negative grd wiring modifications
Message-ID: <AANLkTi=VxojTHQ4zSpXp=m52NkecDoJa4CUH2D7sO6DS@mail.gmail.com>

Sometimes I think I'm fairly intelligent, sometimes I think I compete
with my neighbor's fence post just outside my window. I do know that
sometimes I overthink and confuse myself unnecessarily. But OK, to the
point.

I have installed the GM alternator w/o too much trouble. Now for all
of the wiring modificarions I want to ask about, because different
emails in the archives seem to say different things. Soooo...
regarding the regulator, or control box. We all agree thet the reg is
now just a buss. Apparently all of the Mark III Healeys use the RB 340
unit. This is different from the one in the Lenschow instructions
which show RB106/2, I guess. So here are my questions (and
understandings) regarding mods to the 340.

If you leave the "guts" in place, is it necessary to sleeve or
otherwise negate the cut-out relay?

 I understand that the brn grn wire is no longer cogent to the
operation of anything. After all the end that was at the generator is
no longer connected to anything. (Well, that is not a question.)

The brn yel wire Connects to the No. 1 terminal on the alternator and
does not get changed at the regulator end.

A heavy wire gets cinnected from the Bat terminal on the alt to
whaere? Sometimes I read the instructions to say that it goes to the
battery terminal on the soleniod, sometimes I read the instructions to
say that it goes to the D terminal on the box. Another place I think
that I read that it goes to the B terminal on the box. To my thinking,
going to either the D terminal or rhe solenoid is the same thing.

Is it necessary to shunt the B teminal to the D terminal on the reg?
Or is that an option that can be done? If the reg is now only a buss
and you connect B to D, then it makes no difference (I think). Doing
this makes the brn and brn yel wires all the same.

As I understand, it is best to reverse the wires to the coil so that
wht connects to CB (aka +). Correct?

At the Tach, the direction of approach of said wht wire needs to be
reversed. Correct?

The fuel pump needs to be changed out for proper polarity if the one
currently in place is an SU positive groud pump. Correct? (I know that
there are varying opinions on what it is best to change to. Assuming
that the answer to the question is yes, I have already made a decision
as to which one I will use.)

Of course the battery needs to changed as well to get the polarity correct.

Aside from the question of adding fuses, a question for a different
time, are there any other mods to make to the electrical system for a
BJ8?

Once this is done, I will put together a BJ8 specfic document with pics.

Message-ID: <AANLkTikU8oGZxZmxY+8O6YKZtEw=0m81=SJSbkWa_6Eh@mail.gmail.com>

Greetings Mates,

I am still preparing for the diff rebuild.
I have disscussed the task on a couple of forums and with different
specialist-looking people personaly. Unfortunatly still not enlightened
enough.

My main problems lie by the pinion position.

- the factory workshop manual tells me to use a special tool for
positioning. Unfortunalty I dont have this item - and if I am righ, it is
not available any more.

- it would also be nice to know the exact distance from the differential
axle to the pinion top - but I have not found any source for this kind of
data

- as an alternative method, many sources recommend to measure and fix the
existing pinion height, and to bring the pinion back there after replacing
the bearing. Clear as springwater. I have made some plans for a simple tool
which would make it easy to achieve. BUT I moved on thinking about the
subject, and I find this not problemfree. As the bearings now in my diff are
quite well worn (after 50+ years) they must bring thurder away the pinion
from the factory spec. Is it worth bothering with the pinion height, or
better to install the new bearings, set preload, backlash etc, and check the
contact pattern with a contact compound (and reposition the pinion if
needed)? Or bearing wear does not alter pinion height by much?

Please if possible teach me.

Greetings:
Gergo

My very limited understanding is that the important part is the amount  
of backlash, and the contact pattern. Worn bearing will affect the  
backlash or "Play" which may allow the contact pattern to shift out of  
the acceptable range.

Don't unwrap it!  The Mayan calendar stops in 2012 and after the world ends it
will be a collectors item as the last full year.

Another monumental problem. I just received the January-February issue along
with the 2011 calendar beautifully wrapped in protective plastic. Now I am
wondering if I should open it or just gaze at it and keep it in its pristine
condition.

I agree, why not make a shrine out of it to the great Healey god?

I renewed my subscription last summer and still haven't received mine

It would be great if the Marque mag were wrapped as well. I second Bob's 
comment. Too many of my Marques come mangled in the mail. Maybe AHCA could 
put some of this year's dues increase towards the cost of  wrapping the mag?

<sigh>

Elton, you have any idea on how many times this has been discussed
[in both Clubs] ??  I do<G>.  Since it was discussed putting the
TYPED "Chatter" in a #10 business envelope !!!!

Now I got my AHCUSA mag yesterday like lots of you.  Has it
occurred to ANYBODY that The Mag AND the Calendar were in
ONE plastic 'envelope' and was therefore CHEAPER to mail ??

NAH !!! <F><F><F><F><F>

Olin, Who did you e-mail? If you have a question about your membership, you
need to contact the membership director, Sean Kochaniewicz,
skochaniewicz at yahoo.com. If you don't get a response, then contact Mark
Schneider,
mandmschneider at comcast.net. No reason not to get the magazine that you're
paying
money for, regardless of where the problem may be (what kind of a Healey does
your mailman drive?)
Gary
p.s. Don't get too spoiled by those plastic bags; that was done so that the
calendar and the jan-feb issue could be mailed together to save postage.
The fact that everyone is getting theirs about the same time says that the
system works better when the magazines are mailed from Denver instead of
Oakland.
Cheers
Gary

Perhaps you should lodge a complaint at your local post office.  In the last

OK, so after I heard back from Ed and Tracy, we concluded that I am  
having difficulties with my membership AHCA, not AHCUSA.  So the  
sequence of events was this:

Sent in membership fees through paypal that lists my business name  
(HunterBane Engineering).
Sent request in October to Mark Sneider to check on it with the  
payment date.  He sent me a confirmation that did not have "Olin  
Brimberry", but HunterBane as paying on that date.  So, I sent an  
explanation back that this was my payment, and thought that it was to  
be corrected.  I have not received a magazine since.

So, any help you guys can give to get this reconciled, I would much  
appreciate it.

Curious Olin, then why did you include EditorGary in your post ??

EditorReid is Editor of Healey Marque !  BTW, according to
the "List + password" Command for this List, Reid is a Digest
Member.  Membership Director Mark Schneider is NOT a
Member [either Active nor Digest] of this List.

So, as I see it, YOU need to 'offer-up' an eMail to BOTH of
those gentlemen [cc'ing this List if you would be so kind & ask
Mark to temp. re-join so he may do likewise] asking that YOUR
"problem" be resolved post-haste including the sending of back
issues. 

Maybe include President Gary Brierton [Active List Member] in
the eMail ??

I received a new armrest pad that is 5-3/8" wide on one end and 6" 
wide on the other end.

Is this correct? If so, should the fat end face forward or towards 
the rear of the car on a 1962 MKII BT7

Thank you,

Both Garys responded to me, and I don't keep track of what club each  
one is in, and I certainly don't know who is on the digest and really  
don't care.  But I believe they all have the message now.  For future  
reference, I think I speak for most of us that the use of "all caps"  
is not necessary.  It seems to have a derogatory meaning with it.

John,

Yes, those dimensions are correct.  The wide end goes to the front.

For location on the tunnel carpet,  the front edge of the armrest pad sits 1
3/4" back of the ashtray.  The left side of the pad is 1/4" from, and parallel
to, the seam joining the two tunnel carpet pieces.  This means the centreline
of the middle pleat does not line up with the centre of the ashtray, but is
offset to the right a bit.

By the way, the original pads were only 3/4" thick Dunlopillo foam rubber, not
the 1" or even more often seen in kits.

Best regards,
Peter

I should have known it was correct; it was made by Heritage.

Thank you Peter and Rich for the information!

Rich added:

That shape is correct. The wider portion goes toward the front and it is
pulled down and sewn to the tunnel carpet.

I do not want to run a front bumper, but do want to use my OEM NOS Lucas

Glad everyone liked the intact and unwrinkled Austin Healey Magazine that
arrived in your mailboxes last week. Poly-bagging them seemed like a
no-brainer for my first issue. We'll keep doing it. Plus we saved a ton on

greatly appreciated if everyone would help me with this new job by providing

Ira -

You are thinking too much.

Just weld a couple of L brackets (use ~2" L, weld/tack them to the bumper
brackets) under the splash panel, drill your hole and you are done.  This is
how they did it at the factory if you asked them to install lights before
they came out with the badge bar for dealers to sell.  Good thing is after
you install your lights, it will help stabilize the mounting of your splash
panel, which is a weak point on the 6-cyl healeys.

Sometimes it truly puzzles me how people can complain about the failure of
others to follow through when they can't follow simple instructions. I
didn't suggest to Olin that he post on the list his problem and expect the
officers of the various clubs to then go to the trouble of figuring out who
the
heck he is, where he lives, and which magazine he might or might not be
getting. What I told Olin, and I will tell anyone else with the same problem:
WRITE THE MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY (and yes, I know what all caps mean). WRITE THE
MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY directly with an e-mail (remember those? we used to use
them to communicate with other people before face book and forum lists).
Tell the membership secretary your name, your address, and when you think you
paid your dues, so he can check the membership roster and tell you whether
you're right or not.
Do not, I repeat DO NOT, post your complaint on a general forum and expect
someone else to straighten out your problem for you.
...There, now I feel much better.

Belive it or not, people of the socialism era waited for theese "cars" 6-12
years (!!!) NB: after they payed for the car/ordered it, it took that much
time to deliver.

Unbeliveable today. BTW I used to own one of them, and it was fun.

Actually Gary is no longer the Editor Jeff Eakin is.  It is quite typical
for folks to confuse the two clubs though and we get the "wheres my mag I
paid my dues" comment a lot.  Usually turns up they paid the dues but cannot
remember to whom.

Curious Olin, then why did you include EditorGary in your post ??

EditorReid is Editor of Healey Marque !  BTW, according to
the "List + password" Command for this List, Reid is a Digest
Member.  Membership Director Mark Schneider is NOT a

So, as I see it, YOU need to 'offer-up' an eMail to BOTH of
those gentlemen [cc'ing this List if you would be so kind & ask
Mark to temp. re-join so he may do likewise] asking that YOUR
"problem" be resolved post-haste including the sending of back

Maybe include President Gary Brierton [Active List Member] in

if the panels fit correctly they wouldn't have to kick the car to align
them.

This is why the aftermarket panels don't fit our LBCs. The originals didn't
fit either. This wasn't a problem at Abingdon. whe the cars were worked on
by teams. I'm sure there was a hammer by each body station.

BTW, the book I read about the decline of the British car industry said
Longbridge turned our more cars per day, but the quality at Abingdon was
superior. This was echoed by Geof Healey when he said he was concerned about
the transfer of maufacturing from Longbridge to Abingdon. He then says that
his fears were groundless and Abingdon was a better plant.

And thanks to all those who volunteer to all positions in all our clubs.
Sincerely. You guys keep our clubs alive!
 From now on, I propose that anyone who is a whiney whinger about  
anything Healey Club related on this list has to serve a term or two  
on the committee; or 2; of a few Austin Healey Clubs. Many of us are  
members of more than one club. In more than one country.

I.E If you have time to bitch about a club run by volunteers, then you  
probably have time to give back to that Club to make it better...

Just sayin.... If you can do better - most clubs would love you to  
step up and help.
Ok? Anyone can whinge. Anyone can complain. If you really give a shit,  
be part of the solution. And stop whinging in public. Nothing gets  
fixed by taking the piss in public out of a guy doing this in his free  
time so you get a club benefit.....
;-)
Think about it.
P.S most clubs I am a member of have volunteer committees. Your  
mileage may vary....

re: " if the panels fit correctly they wouldn't have to kick the car to align them." 

My father used to work for Ford and was based at the assembly plant in Milpitas, CA. He told me in the plant they got the biggest, strongest guy on the line and gave him a 2x4 to, ahem, 'align' the doors after they were hung.

The best car I owned other than the Healey was a Checker Marathon station
wagon which replaced the XK140 for the usual reason. . It was made away from
Detroit in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was having trouble with body alignment
and, since my mother in  law lived a short distance away, I took the car
back to the factory where a rubber mallet was liberally applied to the
window frames and body parts.

Hi All,
 I am doing a few more "upgrades" to my car over the winter and was looking
for the voice of experience. I am running triple weber's on the "short"
manifolds and am thinking of fitting the longer "works" type manifold.
Beside's the clearance issues can anybody share some factual experience of the
difference in performance between them. The longer ones should give more
torque but is it worth the hassle of modifying pedal boxes and possible the
shroud cutout?
Cheers

What;s your end game? Vintage race car? or super cool street car? On a left
hand drive car, the hassle to fit webers can't be worth the increase for a
street car IMHO. Back in the day, we did fit some weber setups on cars, but
RHD is so much easier to fit.

All along I thought it was just me that confused the two clubs.

And I confess to this day I still do - but thought it was just me.

So in that regard thank you Tracy for putting it into words.  I feel a little
better.

The magazines of the two clubs are something I think.  And anyway over the
years I have supported both clubs.

Way back when I once suggested the idea of combining the two clubs.  I could
tell right away the idea had been addressed -  before.  And I realized that
wasn't a good suggestion.

Carry on then.

Dick Matson

Actually Gary is no longer the Editor Jeff Eakin is.  It is quite typical
for folks to confuse the two clubs though and we get the "wheres my mag I
paid my dues" comment a lot.  Usually turns up they paid the dues but cannot
remember to whom.

I have a Bj8 for sale so took an interest in the Barrett-Jackson auction.

Bottom line for me after recording/watching the auction:  Commentators were
pretty positive about Austin Healey.  And second, it takes a lot of know how
and is costly to restore an Austin Healey.

Seven Austin Healeys were sold at Barrett-Jackson:

A fresh John Wilson car - #1243.1 / Bj8 brought (+-) $80k.

There were two Tanner cars.  972.2 / BT7 brought (+-) $55k.  #1336 / Bj8 -
brought (+-) $80k.  I don't know if either was a fresh rebuild.

The remaining 4 Austin Healeys sold for from (+-) $66k to (+-) $84k.

Combining clubs is a great idea to all of us with no history at stake or
personal involvement in running them.
On the other hand I do enjoy both magazines and calendars. One in my office,
one on my bedroom wall.

John Sims and Healey Listers,

It appears that the new Austin-Healey Club USA mailing envelope has  
been appreciated.  Our new AHC USA Editor, Jeff Eakin.  Jeff has made  
several productive suggestions, eg., mailing the magazine and calendar  
in the same bag, thus protecting the material and saving postage.  We  
will also be adding pages to the magazine as well as a couple of new  
regular monthly columns.  Finally, we are inviting photographers to  
submit digital Healey images along with short captions.  Selected  
images may be used in the 2012 calendar or magazine covers.   
Interested photographers may submit high resolution digital images to:  
Jeff Eakin at comcast.net.  Thanks for the comments.

Mark Schneider, President
Austin-Healey Club, USA

Oh it was (and still is) a good suggestion....but there are a few egos
involved, and they seem to be prevailing for the current time frame.
Eventually, once the egos die/retire, the clubs will likely get together.

All along I thought it was just me that confused the two clubs.

And I confess to this day I still do - but thought it was just me.

So in that regard thank you Tracy for putting it into words.  I feel a
little
better.

The magazines of the two clubs are something I think.  And anyway over the
years I have supported both clubs.

Way back when I once suggested the idea of combining the two clubs.  I could
tell right away the idea had been addressed -  before.  And I realized that
wasn't a good suggestion.

Carry on then.

Well I followed some of the Healey's that sold this past week in Scottsdale
and must say BJ8's were off this year. I believe the best one sold for
$88,000.00 golden Beige car and the last blue bj8 sold for 55,000.00 . You
can go to their website and view the prices of what they sold for.

Does anyone have a set of measured drawings for driving light brackets for
my BT7?
I do not want to run a front bumper, but do want to use my OEM NOS Lucas
driving lights mounted to the frame holes for the bumper brackets.

I can have them made for me by a guy who wants to trade for computer work.

Having actually seen all the Healey's at Barrett-Jackson, the $$$ were
generous.

The BN6 at Gooding was a steal at $42K.

You do have an Idea. I might just try to  find room for both of them.

I cannot speak for any auctions other than the RM one that I attended, but the
price paid for the two BJ8's there was pretty good given the condition of the
cars.
The British Car evening auction at RM was packed with people which I believe
bodes well for our marque and other British cars.

The 215 is 15mm wider than the 205 (about 9/16").

The 205 is (205mm * 75%) tall; i.e. 154mm (about 5.5")

The 215 is (215mm * 70%)  tall; i.e.  151mm (about 1/8" shorter than the 205)

These are 'nominal' sizes, actual sizes tend to vary by brand and model.

OK my old tire (215/70) is 3/8th " wider and 1/4" shorter
the new tire will be (205/75) 3/8th narrower and 1/4" taller

do I have that correct?
from those numbers i would say they are not worth changing.
thanks

Not sure how many of you are interested, but this is a new online magazine
and it's free! They have some great articles, cool photos and nice
features. All  you need to do is go to their website and sign up. No Financial
Interest, but  they did write a very nice review of my Bonneville Video, so I
thought I would  pass this along. And it never gets ripped in the mail!
Enjoy!

And the "Ponder" 100 M was way over-priced at $97.5K. Regardless if it did
sell 3 years ago for $231K.

Oops ... can't do basic math any more.

The width difference is 10mm, not 15.

WOW--I think they are great looking, very purposeful and probably heavy
enough to accomodate a snow plow as well.

Split the calipers and installed new seals today. The bolts broke 
free at 35 foot-pounds and the calipers separated easily. The 
existing seals seemed fine; I could roll them up between my fingers 
and they returned to their shape. The bolts did not have locknuts, 
washers or any sign of thread locking material. The entire process 
took about 25 minutes from start to finish. I had previously cleaned 
them though.

Thanks Mike... and, they did save my front end already!  When I was taking off
the trailer after bringing it home from the upholstery shop the trailer ramps
jump the track and dropped to the ground.  The front end of the car dropped on
to the trailer (the back was already down)... the car was held up by the
driving light brackets... no damage to anything!  And, yes, I have modified
the trailer ramps so that can't happen again.  I've had the trailer 5 years
and never had any issues with the ramps before.  All in all, VERY scary, but
every thing was fine.  I love the brackets.  
 
Cheers,
Steve

A lot of rubbers and seals seam fine.  But we replace them anyway as 
Preventative Maintenance
and preventing accidents in the case of anything dealing with brakes.   Now 
that many of the distributors are carrying the caliper seals and as cheap as 
they are, there is no reason not to replace them. You did , didn't you?

Lean on the side of caution, not convenience.

And while you had them a part was also the time to install  the SS pistons 
and their seals.  You
did , didn't you?      Thats a test of patience all by itself.  ; )

I would start by chasing (using the proper sized tap) all threads and
captive nuts on the chassis. It is a matter of pay me now or pay me later.

Jose,
I always start with the suspension, steering, then brake lines, engine,
gearbox, drive train, heater.
Test of engine with temporary wiring, just to run the engine. Then assembly of
the outer body panels and final adjustments. Then doing the top/hood/hardtop
(before final painting and taking off the hood again). Now final painting of
outer body panels and assembly. Now wiring loom, trim and ancillaries, final
fit of the hood.
That's just my way.

What Herb says below is very useful. I had to do this with the shock 
mounts in the middle of putting the suspension together, and have 
gone around and done the others since...the paint can be thick in 
there!

I would start by chasing (using the proper sized tap) all threads and
captive nuts on the chassis. It is a matter of pay me now or pay me later.

There are probably a bunch of items that are a pain to do once something else
is "in the way" but four that come to mind are the installation of the 100
heater, the oil pressure line to the gauge, the foot box insulation and the
throttle linkage along the foot box. I try to get a lot of the stuff in the
engine compartment before installing the engine. Back half of the car isn't as
critical.  Everyone seems to approach the reassembly process differently
including when the final exterior paint is done. I like to follow the
Jensen/Austin original assembly line plan....whatever that might be!

Ola Jose,

I started to assemble my BN2 in the following order:

front suspension and steering
rear suspension and steering 
handbrake mechanism (now I had a rolling chassis, that could be stopped by
the handbrake if necessary)
wiring
instrument panel and instruments 
brake lines
fuel lines and fuel pump
engine + gearbox
radiator

After that I started the engine and checked for leaks and made the first
adjustments to carb and ignition.

Only after all that I fitted to front shroud and front wings to the car. It
helps tremendously to have free access to all the places in the engine bay
and behind the instrument panel.

Good luck

Jose, If you're a member of the AHCUSA, you can access a 35-chapter 
instruction manual on restoration on the healey.org website. Reason enough to join, 
which can be done right on the website. If you save two hours on your 
restoration with these instructions -- and I guarantee you'll save 20 times that 
at least -- you've paid for the membership for three years.
Good Luck

Thanks for the kind words Richard!! 
 
Indeed I have put a lot of work into the website... over the years many people
have helped me out and this is an attempt to pay-it-back-and-forward. 
Certainly, a number of my "personalizations" may be a bit over the top for
some... but hopefully, I've included DIY items that could appeal to a broader
group of guys, such as the driving light mounts. 
 
You may have seen the write-up on my car in the Oct/Nov. 2010  Austin Healey
Magazine.  Thanks to Gary for that.
 
Thanks again,
Steve

Since you say you have the chassis on a rotisserie I think it would be smart
to install the fuel and brake lines, the wiring harness and battery cable. It
will be much easier to do it while the car is turned on it's side than while
you are lying on your back underneath...

Hello Jose,

You can check out the assembly order I did:
picasaweb.google.com/Volvo1800S.

I followed common wisdom and Roger Moment articles available in the Austin
Healey Magazine :-)

In general, I had the front and rear shroud assembled before paint, as my
body folks suggested to have them fixed on the car - proper assembly of
fenders is much easier this was, as there are fewer variations to fit all
panels..

I believe, I started with:
0. cleaning all threads :-)
1. Insulation, engine bay (check out Moss site for their description of
their new 'asbestos' panels)
2. Insulation, inside the car, (I used Koolmat)
3. Brake lines & hand brake
4. fuel lines & tank & pump, 
5. el. Harness
6. el components excl. Battery switch
7. pedals, gas linkage
8. heater, fresh air hose
9. bumpers (wrapped, they protect the body)
10. steering
11. anything else in the engine bay
11a. assemble instrument panel
12. instrument panel, mirror, all lift-dots and others
13. test electrical system
14. suspension, front
14a. suspension rear & rear axle (I installed assembled, Roger Moment
advises to install it in parts.)
14c. battery switch (do not fit prior to axle installation!)
14b. seat runners
15. bleed brake system 
15. car on the ground
16. engine & gearbox (remember to remove the left engine mount prior to
engine installation, it will interfere with steering tube. Engine tested
prior to installation!!!
16a. shaft
16b. exhaust system
16c. connect clutch linkage
17. door assembly & door panels
18. fenders & beading & doors
19. front lights*
20. upholstery*
21. aluminum door trim*


The ones with a star are yet to be done :-)..

Hi,

I have some time now, thus inspected my wheels.
I looks like they are in good shape, though in need for some spokes
replaced. Can You advice me any source of wire wheel parts?

Would like to know if anyone sells or has a design for driving light brackets which would fit with the bumper and apron without drilling holes in the apron. I'm thinking of a design which curves up between the rear edge of the bumper and the front edge of the apron.

Not interested in the badge bar solution.

Thanks in advance for any actual designs. I can design one myself but would prefer to buy it.

Message-ID: <AANLkTik7QFpMVdGNiMD4RN=eMCbcku9S=eTORsyxW4_Z@mail.gmail.com>

Hi Folks,

I have a question for my friends "across the pond." My wife and I are
finally getting around to taking our honeymoon and we've settled on
visiting the UK. Children's school calendars being what they are, it
looks like our window of opportunity is the second week in March.

We're having trouble deciding between Scotland, England or Ireland.
All the packages we've looked at are roughly the same price, but our
(read: her) concern is around the weather. It looks like the March
timeframe may be a bit nippy & wet.

Also, are there any big car events that I might want to steer
ourselves towards "by accident"?

Jody

I don't about big events, but my wife and I travel at that time  
because it's relatively cheap to go "off season".

I'd say if you're car type, go to England. Warwickshire is a great  
place to center your trip. Stratford upon Avon is in Warwickshire, as  
is Warwick. Stratford is very tourist, but the home of Shakespeare, so  
it's got the WIfe covered. Same with Warwick. A very beautiful very  
"English" city with the lovely (even if overly Disney-fied). You can  
still go to the Cape and have a pint and sit on the canal as the  
Healeys did.
Gaydon is very close to there with the British Heritage Auto museum.  
You're only a couple hours from Castle Combe which is a tiny beautiful  
English town with a huge racing heritage and a track. There may be  
something on the calendar at that time. A day trip south as you're in  
the Cotswolds will give you more than enough quaint english stuff to  
see on your way to Bath and Saslibury where you need to see Stonehenge.

There is not much clearence between body and front splash panel.  Drilling
through makes more sense, visually and structurally.

It's actually better to just drill through the splash panel like they
did at the factory (if on sp order) for your BN6 - it helps stabilize
the front splash panel.

I'm with Ira, Steve.  And if you don't like the idea of drilling
YOUR original piece, buy a new one [one of the best repros],
drill holes, prime/paint, and install [then lights <G>].

Or if you are determined for a "no holes" look, the steel
'upright' thickness inorder to get rigidity you need will require 
'notching' the splash panel.

Steve -

Ed brings up a good point.  If you design a bracket they way you are
suggesting, you will get a huge amount of light vibration because the
mount will not have any gussets to support against up and down
movement.  The fog lights are heavy...

Disney-fied Castle. Yes, that Warwick castle that's in the Healey Logo.

Not really Disney, but Madame Tussauds.

I found new Girling units available from Pegasus Racing at reasonable prices.

Thanks for posting this.

I saw the CG cyls and thought 'dang, those sure look better than the cast-iron
Lucas repros I have in there now.'

I'll stick with the Lucas.

Thanks to Ira, Alan, Steve and Ed for their thoughts on my driving light bracket question.

For drilling through the apron - is there a design or a product for the support that would be required underneath the apron?

Thanks in advance.

Steve:  Before I installed my badge bar which has the mounting points for my 
auxiliary lights, I had the lights mounted on sort of "L" shaped brackets. 
They mounted just like the badge bar does - down between the splash pan and 
bumper. Instead of being welded to the badge bar, they bent back parallel to 
the splash pan and were just high enough to allow the securing of the light 
with its bottom nut/bolt.  They could be secured with either the bumper 
bracket bolts or overrider bolts depending on what spacing you wanted.  They 
were very heavy duty and I do not recall ever having a problem with 
vibration.  Don't know where I acquired them and don't know where they are 
right now.  If I find them, I'll send you a picture.

Steve, I have a design [for the BJ8 - could be adjusted for any 6 cyl] that
does drill thru the splash panel/valence, and uses 2 simple alu machined or
steel bent brackets over and under the panel attached to the bumper irons to
fully stabilize the lamps and avoid valance wobble.  Easy to drill and fit.
Looks great.  I believe John Simms put my simple 3D dwgs on his web site.  If
you cannot find them I can send them with a pic of my lamps [7 inch Marchals]
on the car direct if you wish.

Interesting thread. I learned on this mailing list that the original Girling
master & slave cylinders were anodized on the inside, presumably to make them
harder wearing &/or smoother, so about 6-9 months ago I ask Moss if their
Classic Gold master & slave cylinders are anodized inside. Todate, no reply.

Besides [as Scott points out] the Club's Site, you plainly need what
is known as a "Flat Bed Scanner" or an "All-in-one Printer" which
prints, copies, and/or faxes.  I haven't "...cut them out..." in YEARS

Yeah. Didn't realize this was on the healey and not jensen list.

Turns out I know of a JH in the Phoenix area that was an abandoned
engine swap project. A mate and I were looking at parting it out, but
were waffling because the chassis is in too good a shape.

I forwarded Jorge's email on.

That's a new one.

Just a SWAG:

There's a slot in the piston and a 'key' on the carb body that keep the vacuum piston from rotating.  If that key was 
missing, and the piston was inclined to rotate counter-clockwise I suppose the viscosity of the damper oil could cause 
the damper piston to rotate and eventually unscrew the cap.

It's a long shot.

Replace the oil seal under top of the cap.  If it is old/too hard, it will
loosen over time.

They were, Alan.  I parse Jean's email to mean the side curtains with
a signaling flap, first version thereof.  I think there were two
varieties with flexible flaps that let you signal and open the door to
boot :-).  Unlike that solid ones where you had to unsnap the top to
open the door from the outside.

Hi,

I have dismantled my wheels.
I have made an attempt rebuilding one. It was not that hard as I thouht.
Although I have two questions: first of all, what can be called "true"
shape? After an hour playing, I have resulted around 0,8mm off-shape. Is it
enough, or shall I go thurder? It is difficult to use a dial gauge as he rim
itself is not 100% round.
I have tried to span each spoke the same amount, though not sure of this
"amount". I have used an aprox 10-12cms spanner with a medium load. Each
spoke is ringing alike.

What do You think, is it ok?

Ray, I sometimes find the front damper cap open.  I know that when my engine
spits back through the carbs, as when cold, it will sometimes blow the front
cap out.  I have seen some caps where the rod has been blown through the
plastic cap.  I would prefer that my whole cap blows out rather than the
rod.  The threads on the plastic cap do not appear to be damaged and will
screw back in tightly.  I have tried wrapping some Teflon tape around the
threads, but that hasn't stopped the cap from coming out.  I use 30W engine
oil in my dampers.
 
I think you are seeing the same thing, and your cap is not "unscrewing"
itself.

Gergo, I still have my notes from a technical session given by a Dayton wire
wheel representative at Conclave 1986.  The notes say that 0,030 inch is the
best runout achievable on a new wheel.  That is 0,762 mm, so you're pretty
close.

List,
    Has anyone seen or have any VariFlo externally adjustable shocks 
on the front of their Healey?

   We just had the opportunity to rebuild some, and I took some 
pictures. These were from the 60's I believe.

 From the lid   "Made By  Bletchley Eng. Co. Ltd.
                        Slough.  England"

Type 100     Patent no.  1

I have pictures that I can forward to someone who might want to host them.

I suspect the owner will want to sell them sometime in the near 
future. He's in Vancouver, but I'm just guessing.

They're interesting in that compression and rebound would each be 
adjustable separately.

It's not quite an o-ring, as the crossection is actually rectangular, not
round :-)

I looked for them for ages. I presume they are the same for all Girling
calipers. The Girling part no is 67320782, google it a number of suppliers
come up. Prices range from $0.60 to 10x as much :-)

HeeHee Ira, guess you never had the chance to see John Chatham
flog DD-300 around a track nor some of the chaps still doing it.

"Gentlemen racers" my foot !!!!!

Oh yeah, and some chap named Augie Pabst III in his priceless cars !!

Hey Ira,    I know your always looking for an appropriate way to pay the 
list back for all
 the valuable answers that you receive on an hourly basis.  It would be a 
huge benefit to all the
up and coming Bt7 owners to see how the latches and header bar on your old 
top are installed.

Several pictures , reversing the install of how the front of the top is 
connected and how the
header bar itself is covered would be HUGE.  These pictures need to be 
stored on someones
web sight once and for all cause a verbal description just doesn't cut it. 
And the break down of
these tops just doesn't exist, yet.  I tried but my camera broke.  I have a 
few and will get them
posted soon.

I'm still trying to figure out how that "curly cue" maneuver at the front 
corners of the tops is done,
and for that matter ,  why did they do that?  It doesn't seem to serve any 
purpose. Why didn't
they just run it straight and cut it off and secure it,  why turn the 
corners in like that?  If any of you
don't know what I'm talking about then you don't have a 60 Bt7.

The top is still good even if you took it apart a little bit,  I would 
think.

Just a thought,   Mark   ; )

Thanks for figuring out a way to fill my busy day. I will take a look at the
top and see if I can create a photo instruction set. My new top came pre-
assembled, but that's another story. I'll look at it this weekend and see if
I can take it apart without destroying it.
Hey I thought the valuable answers I provide was the quid pro quo for the
answers I get.....

Message-ID: <6EC5FC02359B7C4FA2254DB006FA2760941BFA@otnoex2.onthenetoffice.com>

My new Robbins top showed up today, and I'm looking at the old wood
thinking that no matter how much epoxy I patch it with, It's probably
not worth  saving.

That said - $335 for 5 pieces of wood from moss, (same from Victoria
British) seems outlandish - even with my discount.

Having restored a couple Morgans, making up new ones isn't out of the
question, but will likely take all of 8 hours to cut and shape.
Therefore, I'm weighing the value of my time vs getting this car done
sometime before summer.

Anybody have a source for this material that's reasonably priced?

Jonas, 

Those 5 pieces of wood are extremely complex so having worked with trimming
and installing originals many times, I don't think that $335 is out of line.
There are cutouts and reliefs and compound curves and angles in all those
that would take a lot of time to cut and carve. If it isn't accurate, it
just won't fit. If you can make these in 8 hours I'd be very surprised.
I don't know if I've sent you these pictures before but here they are again
showing some of these complexities.

Rich

Subject: [Healeys] Wood for Healey Top - BJ8

My new Robbins top showed up today, and I'm looking at the old wood
thinking that no matter how much epoxy I patch it with, It's probably
not worth  saving.

That said - $335 for 5 pieces of wood from moss, (same from Victoria
British) seems outlandish - even with my discount.

Having restored a couple Morgans, making up new ones isn't out of the
question, but will likely take all of 8 hours to cut and shape.
Therefore, I'm weighing the value of my time vs getting this car done
sometime before summer.

Anybody have a source for this material that's reasonably priced?

I'm still trying to figure out how that "curly cue" maneuver at the front 
corners of the tops is done,
and for that matter ,  why did they do that?  It doesn't seem to serve any 
purpose. Why didn't
they just run it straight and cut it off and secure it,  why turn the 
corners in like that?  If any of you
don't know what I'm talking about then you don't have a 60 Bt7.

Mark, 

I assume you refer to the cutting and curving around of the top material at
the front corners. This was done to bring the compound curved shape of the
front corner neatly around and finish them If the top material was simply
brought straight forward and wrapped down over the header bar, this would
result in an open curved bulge at the sides, and certainly wouldn't be water
proof. The top material cannot follow a compound curve in two different
directions so a V shaped slice is taken out of that front corner so the
bound and sewn outer edge can wrap around and finish neatly. The tacked on
"Hidem" strip will cover the exposed slice when it is fastened across the
header bar.

Great job Linwood!

In the past I had been thinking of getting a similar device from J. C.
Whitney. It possibly could be modified to use the Healey arm rest. I haven't
checked dimensions.

http://www.jcwhitney.com/padded-and-upholstered-center-armrest-storage-console/p2007485.jcwx?filterid=j1

Or just go to jcwhitney.com and search for arm rest. Then scroll down until
you find it.

Keep in mind that covering is a thin pebbly off-white, more of an ivory. I

When I was cleaning my brake adjusters I noticed a slight difference 
in he pistons. The machined slot around the circumference of the 
pistons is different; one is narrow and one is wider. It is the same 
way on the other brake adjuster too.

Anyone know why?
