Not many of those left, nearly all stopped with WW years ago. Most will 
do AF inch sizes, but not the Witworth, BSF, BSW etc. sizes as was 
indicated on the spanners before. Of course many AF inch spanners are 
compatible, but they do not cover all sizes.
Perhaps Britool?

Google will help you out, or ebay.co.uk for second hand stuff.
I sourced many secondhand spanners in the UK sizes on shows, ebay and 
local selling sites from my favorite brand Hazet. Most of them well over 
50 years old. I now have a practically complete set of metric, AF, 
Withworth, BSF/BSW spanners.

Safety belts will prevent serious injury to a point and if positioned 
properly. Often I see the lap portion of the belt positioned over the 
abdomen instead of over the hip or thighs. This will cause lethal 
internal injuries in an accident.
Typical injuries caused by seatbelt wearing are rib, sternum and 
collarbone fractures. A lot better than a smashed rib case by the 
steering column or a battered skull.
However when you hit a brick wall at 50mph all is lost. In these older 
cars you may perhaps expect a reasonable protection by seat belts in a 
frontal collision that can be compared to about 25-30mph against a 
concrete block, which means you have a reasonable chance of survival, 
beyond that it is death or very serious injury.
One of the most dangerous items in the car will be the steering shaft 
for obvious reasons.

Geez.
How many of you guys have had a serious accident in a Healey????
Theory is really interesting.
Reality is actually the answer.
Laws are in place. Obey them.

Interesting thread--I never thought about age limits on seat belts.

IIRC, the original/stock belts--they have the BMC stickers but could be dealer additions--in my BJ8 are secured with a 
bolt through the floor pans, a big flat washer and a nut.  I always assumed the bolt would pull through or the pan would 
buckle before the webbing or stitching gave out.  Reminds me of the people who bolt massive 'roll bars'--the 
manufacturers call them 'light bars,' probably because they don't want the liability--to sheetmetal pickup beds.  My 
take is if you're not fastening these 'safety' items to some serious metal--like a real chassis--they're mostly for 
appearances.

Hi John

 

I need some help please 

Can you advise who to contact about this and find out more

 

It's a steel-bodied special based on a 1958 100/6, we think it's called a
California,

and we think it was bodied in the 1960s in the U.S.

 

At the moment this is all the info I have

 

Thanks

Use FIA approved safety belt pickup like theese:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Harness-eye-bolt-backing-plate-FIA-approved-/260742508539?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cb576effb

They offer more than enough support for the belts.

The bolts through the sheet  metal should be fitted with special 
spreader plates about 3mm thick and about 2"x1" in size. Usually a nut 
is welded to it. A large washer is not enough.
I have always been surprised that that is enough to hold about 20kN. It 
will deform but not pull through.

I have a small (3/8") hole in my blower motor casing with some 
hairline cracks radiating from it. I am thinking of using woven 
fiberglass inside the case with urethane.

Is urethane compatible with fiberglass?

How about JB Weld and fiberglass?

Any repair suggestions?

Maybe not surefire, but I've heard spreading fresh coffee works. Just  
sprinkle it on the carpet, don't ever get it wet, let it sit for a while and  
then vacuum it out. Don't think I'd try it with white carpet, but dark colors  
should be fine. And when you're done, you can brew up a batch of gasoline  
charged Joe!

I had 2 serious accidents in a '76 MGB.  Luck helps alot!!!!( Seatbelts were
instrumental in both also. )

I picture here:

My first impulse here was to dive out of the car, but realized that I didn't
have time to undo the seatbelt; so I kissed the passenger seat instead.

If it is bakelite you can use (colored) epoxy paste. No need for glass 
fiber but there is no law against it. Best would be to drill holes at 
the end of the hairline cracks to stop further cracking and then opening 
up the cracks with a small saw blade or using a DREMEL tool. Shape some 
of the edges in a V to give the repair some hold. Put some masking tape 
on the back of the area and stiffen it up with some cardboard. This is 
to keep the paste at the inside a bit level, it is not critical. Fill 
the holes from the outside and make sure all nooks and crannies are 
filled. Leave it alone in a warm area for about 24 hours and then shape 
if required with wet and dry from 280-1000 grade and cutting paste.
If out of sight just leave alone.

Just one addition: do not veld theese plates. If You need to fix them, use
silicon glue instead.

Gasoline smells good. Why getting rid of it?

Sorry, I have no other idea than letting it go away with ime.

Knowing how little repair shops know about wire wheels with innertubes, I
wonder if there are any instructions I could keep in the car?

I have seen folks put a white powder inside the tire, ostensibly to help the
tube slide easily in place. Are there any other hints? I carry a spare
innertube, is there a repair kit I should also carry? Powder?

Thanks,

Make sure when the tire is mounted that the installer uses the plastic Valve 
Stem protectors that fit in the hole where the valve stem comes through the 
wheel.  It helps center the Valve Stem.

Vey cool!  Looks like a MGB windscreen and air vent.  Also when you look at
the carbs they appear to be early 100-6 Longbridge carbs, but when you look
closer it has the later intake manifold- yet angled like the early cars.  Very
interesting.

This o/d is wired w/o the accelerator switch, etc in place. It is actuated via
a switch on the dash. (Yes the switch on the trans renders the bottom 2 gears
and the reverse out of the mix.) It worked fine for a while, but now
sporadically and almost never when at freeway speed. It almost always works at
35-40 mph when warmed up.This trans has 5000 miles on it since a complete
overhaul. I use 30ND oil.

I would weep thin CA glue (instant glue) into the cracks with a very small
applicator like the tip of a tooth pick. I would fill the hole with a black
epoxy. If possible hold a small piece of wax paper (slightly larger than the
hole) over the outside of the hole with a larger piece of tape. fill the hole
with epoxy from the back side. When everything is set up you can sand the
outside lightly to get a smooth surface with progressively finer sand paper
just like leveling paint. It should be almost invisible.

I have a small (3/8") hole in my blower motor casing with some hairline cracks
radiating from it. I am thinking of using woven fiberglass inside the case
with urethane. .

Is urethane compatible with fiberglass?

How about JB Weld and fiberglass?

Any repair suggestions?

1.  Verify that the electrical side of the system is working.  With
the engine running
and the overdrive switch on, you should be able to hear a distinct
click when you move the
shift lever from the 1st/2nd plane to the 3rd/4th gear plane.  I am
not certain how it happened,
but I had one solenoid that would work when the engine was off, but
not when the engine
was running and in gear, it was not strong enough to open the
actuating valve against the
oil pressure.

2.  Check that the solenoid is adjusted correctly as described in the
shop manual.
There should be a small rubber bumper which the plunger rests on when
the solenoid is off.
If that bumper is not there the plunger may be too low for the
solenoid to pull it in.

3.  Get a guage and check the oil pressure in the unit.  The unit
needs about 420# to stay engaged.
If your pressure is lower than that, the most likely problem is the
o-rings in the accumulator.

I am parking my 57 Healey  in our garage which is attached to our house.
There is a very strong smell of gas that clears up if I don't start the car
for 3 or 4 days.  I have checked the gas tank and there is no leak or
excessive smell in the trunk.  Any ideas where the smell might be coming from
and how to stop it.

I'm in the process of fitting 3 point non-retractable belts to the Nasty Boy
and have done a bit of research on the subject.  Original belt mounting points
for the BJ7s and BJ8s were a bolt through a fixed plate on the driveshaft
tunnel and a special fitting that was attached to the floor between the sill
and seat.  The mounting for the shoulder belt is via a chrome mounting that
attaches to the inner rear fender wells by two acorn nuts.  Both the rear
mount and the special floor mount are available from British Car Specialists. 
The factory workshop manual has detailed measurements regarding placement of
the floor mount.

Interesting thread--I never thought about age limits on seat belts.

IIRC, the original/stock belts--they have the BMC stickers but could be dealer
additions--in my BJ8 are secured with a bolt through the floor pans, a big
flat washer and a nut.  I always assumed the bolt would pull through or the
pan would buckle before the webbing or stitching gave out.  Reminds me of the
people who bolt massive 'roll bars'--the manufacturers call them 'light bars,'
probably because they don't want the liability--to sheetmetal pickup beds.  My
take is if you're not fastening these 'safety' items to some serious
metal--like a real chassis--they're mostly for appearances.

First thing to always check is to turn on key and look under the car.
If you see fuel spilling out from carbs on the floor it means your
float jets are probably stuck.  Give the float a few taps with a
plastic mallet or piece of wood, that should stop the overflow.

Usually this is a result of too much crud/rust in the fuel tank.
Having your tank flushed and cleaned is probably a good idea.  Fuel
filter will help too.

And if they aren't overflowing from the floats another common leakage point 
is the gland seals on the jets towards the bottom of both carbs.  Anyway, if 
the trunk looks dry and the smell isn't coming from that area then it is 
coming from the carbs, and if not the carbs then the only other option is 
the fuel line from the tank an back up to the carbs in front.  Gas flows 
fast and as noted by you and others today has a distinctive odor, a littlle 
work with your nose and flashlight should help find it.   Should not be too 
hard to find.  Once found post here again if you are stumped on the fix.

I'm not totally sure what the standard seat belt was in the U.S.  I 
suspect
there were "official" BMC seatbelts as well as dealer installed 
belts.  I
have some old belts with the MG/Austin-Healey logo like these:
http://tinyurl.com/4a664ly.  and am having some vintage style aircraft buckle
belts made up by  www.seatbeltplanet.com who will sew the rear fenderwell
mounting onto their belt.  I'll then transfer the MG/Austin- Healey logo onto
the new belts.
  As far as U.K belts go, I believe the "Britax" style
 shown in the link I
provided earlier were fitted.  Original buckle stickers can be found by going
on  http://www.ebay.co.uk/ and searching for "BMC Seatbelt Stickers"

Before starting inflate the tube partially.  You want just enough air to
unfold it.
Make sure the ends of the spokes have tape over them
install the first bead of the tire onto the rim
push the tube in place trying to keep it as straight as possible.
install the valve though the hole.
Remove the valve stem.  Attach a valve stem tool so the tube doesn't fall
inside the tire
install the second bead making sure you don't catch and tear the tube.
The next part is vital to getting a good result on the first try.
with the valve stem removed, inflate the tire to say 15 lbs and allow it to
drain completely.  This allows the tube to get into the correct position and
prevent folds tears.
Install valve stem and inflate tire.
If the tire goes flat after the very first turn you take, you had a fold in
the tube.  Ask me how I know this.

If you want to put some talc in the tire to help the tube slide in the tire
it can't hurt, but I never have.

tube type tires.

I don't know if this applies in the States but I also have this problem 
in my house with an integral garage. I put it down to the volatility of 
fuels that are being produced these days.

I am fairly certain that I have no leaks so I believe that it is due to 
the fuel left in the float chambers evaporating due to the residual heat 
left in the engine bay when I park the car. It is particularly 
noticeable after a long journey on a hot day.

I have experimented by adding a temporary switch to the fuel pump and 
let the engine run until the fuel runs out; therefore the float chambers 
are virtually empty. Having done this there is little or no smell of 
fuel when I close the garage door. With the door closed the garage is 
quite small and well sealed against drafts. The fuel vapour smell is 
very noticeable if I don't let the fuel run out. The alternative is to 
leave the door open for about 3 or 4 hours. This works, but gives me a 
security risk.

Regards

The white powder is talcum powder to prevent sticking and providing a 
kind of lubricant for the tube to position itself correctly during 
inflation. It also helps to keep natural rubber from deteriorating.

FWIW, I have a small, reasonably well-sealed 2-car garage and I never smell gas from my BJ8, even after a long, hot 
run.   I don't believe any gas smell from any car--or other source--is tolerable (but I also have a natgas water heater 
with a pilot light in my garage).  I think you've addressed the symptom but not the problem (possibly a deficient carb 
heat shield or  bad float valves or maybe the gas cap gasket is shot).

The first poster said "there is no leak or excessive smell in the trunk."  There should be no smell in the boot at all; 
the tank should be completely sealed and I wouldn't even expect an odor at the gas cap if properly fitted with a good 
gasket.  If there's any odor, there's a leak, even if you don't see liquid petrol.   Metal gas tanks can develop pinhole 
leaks--in fact, they will develop leaks eventually.  This should be fixed, preferably with a new tank.  This is nothing 
to mess with (don't forget you have several electrical sources of ignition in the boot, including the battery).  You 
might also have a leak from the flexible fuel line, or even from the metal line, big enough to cause odor but not enough 
to leave a puddle (it doesn't take much petrol to create odor).  Even at 'room' temperature, the tank may be slightly 
pressurized (the vent in the cap is to allow air in as fuel is consumed--not to relieve pressure).

I have a fuel pump shutoff switch and do exactly the same thing, shut  
it down as I come into the drive and burn the gas out of the float  
chambers.
Doors open for a few hours.

I had a similar problem. Turned out that my chokes were partially
frozen so that when I pushed in the choke cable, the choke was not
releasing completely, so that the jet was staying too low and the car
was running way rich. Car always had a gassy smell until I found and
fixed this.

Yes it's legal in many locations.
IMHO if you have a gas smell you should not put your car in an enclosed
garage. Because if you get the right mixture any spark (light switch?) and
your garage and car go BOOM!
Fix the leak or park outside.

Without debating the merits of common sense and garage safety, there is
no cause for alarm here.

Without getting into the specifics of "flash points" and the ratios of
gas to air that would be required to cause such a scenario, I'd say that
this is much to do about nothing.

There isn't enough gas in the float bowls of the carbs to make a garage
go boom under any condition I can think of - unless you were to atomize
it and spray it into the directly into the pilot light, which would be
nasty, but not something akin to a "movie" style explosion.

Short of letting a propane bottle for a gas grill open, natural gas leak
or painting a car, there are few "gas" problems that I can think of that
would cause such an explosion.

Short of spilling liquid gas, ether, paint thinner, or other solvent
into the pilot light, there is no way that they would cause it either.


There is no cause for alarm with pilot lights for either furnaces or hot
water heaters in a garage as long as a modicum of common sense is used.

Hi guys,
in my country there are some specific regulations when there is a garage
attached to the house: a fireproof door between garage and house interior,
and ventilation openings in the garage wall and the garage door.
For a separate garage the requirement is still to have vent openings which
cannot be closed off.

re: " There is no cause for alarm with pilot lights for either furnaces or hot 
water heaters in a garage as long as a modicum of common sense is used." 

Yup. But I don't want to smell any fumes in my garage at all (and one of the worst potential offenders--carbon monoxide--is odorless). 

Back to the point: Healeys shouldn't smell of gas. It is not a normal condition--something is wrong. Eliminating the smell doesn't solve the problem. 

Now, if I had an SR-71 leaking JP-7 in my garage well, I might be OK with that.

I believe it is 18 inches off the ground in California and, of course, 
strapped to the wall studs so it won't fall over and break the gas 
connection in case of earthquake.

Off the floor to keep them above bumper height for those who would use
them to stop against. Also in the Charlotte NC area they have to have
2 4" steel (?) posts to protect them.

Finally a mid 50's degree day here in South Central PA.  I torn the side
curtains and tops off the Bugeye as quick as possible.  Picked my wife up at
her office and drove for lunch.  So many jealous looks from others.  Hot wife,
hot car, and beautiful weather.

For those of you in the US, If you travelled I-95 in VA you may have
seen Sadlers Travel Plaza in Emporia. Many years ago when one of his
tank trucks was dropping a load of gasoline at sunset, the sign lights
on the canopy came on. There was just the right combination of vapors
under the canopy and a short in the sign wiring. BOOM! Fortunately it
was only the boom from the vapors that were present. No other fire,
just some scared as s*** people who were fueling. Could have been so
much worse.

I believe it is 18 inches off the ground in California and, of course,
strapped to the wall studs so it won't fall over and break the gas
connection in case of earthquake.

Which ones (SU or aftermarket)? 

I've had an electronic SU in my BJ8 for 8 or 9 years--it's been flawless (can't say the same for a couple conversion kits I've tried).

I was dismantling a motorbike on the patio, using a torch for the frozen
bolts.  The tank, which had been drained three days before, lay with the
filler neck near the floor.  A red hot nut dropped and rolled to within a few
inches of the open neck and SHHUMP !  The tank spun several yards away like a
deflated baloon.  No flames.  It was a very distinctive sound- exactly like a
shovelful of gravel into a tin bucket.

I had a Moprod plastic-bodied electronic pump last 2000 miles before giving 
up the ghost---fortunately I had bought 2 at the sale price. The second one 
lasted 5 miles----again fortunately it was close to home and I could coast 
downhill part of the way! I now have one of the SU electronic pumps with 
good luck so far.

" Back to the point: Healeys shouldn't smell of gas. It is not a normal 
condition"

I have heard this opinion expressed I think a couple times on this list, I 
would respectfully disagree.

Last I checked Healeys have SU carbs which have an orifice or mouth for the 
air intake, if you look inside just a couple inches there is a piston, lift 
the piston and you will see a needle which goes into a jet full of gas, when 
the car runs gas is sucked out to the jet and mostly atomized and burned but 
there will always be some in the bottom of the jet.  The jet and the 
interior of the carb, the piston and inner walls, are exposed to the gas as 
it is sucked out of the carb and are open to the world (there is an air 
filter, but it doesn't filter out gas fumes) a slight smell of gas, 
particularly after running is not at all outside the range of normal.

Now if the fumes are stinking up the garage to the point the significant 
other complains and you are afraid to light matches or make sparks in the 
area that is not normal.

A more debatable point is that the fuel system was never built to be that 
precise or leak free, and a little seapage from the carbs, not drips, but 
some fuel getting out where a seal is not absolutely gas tight, such as the 
jet or float bowl lid, seeping along the surface and smelling a little of 
gas is fairly normal as well, and won't cause any harm, and fixing it or not 
is a matter of your overall worldview on such things and wether the effort 
and potential frustration is worth the reward to you, I will concede that 
this point is debateble, but when I drove SU carbed cars (Healeys, MGs, 
Triumphs) when they were used cars and daily drivers seemed to be the way 
they worked.

That happened to some firends of my parents.   They turned on the
light switch in the garage, and the whole thing blew up.   They were
both badly burned, but survived.

Guess I should have been more specific.  You shouldn't smell a strong gas odor when you open the bonnet, and none in the 
boot (mine reeked of gas until I replaced the tank).  I don't usually stick my face down by the carbs, but wouldn't be 
too alarmed to get a faint whiff of gas if I did.  Any more than that, however, and I'm looking for the leak.  Best I 
can tell, the needles and pistons seal the jets pretty well when the engine is stopped (if the pistons don't drop the 
jet is misaligned).

I'm basing this opinion on my experiences with my two Healeys and a few others I've observed so others' experiences may 
differ, of course.

Jose,  a friend of mine sent me some pictures of a car show in Medellin that 
he took about two years ago.  There are some beautifully restored cars 
including a BJ8.  The best that I can tell from the pictures is that it is a 
very dark green over white or beige.  There was a very artistic plate on the 
front depicting the Word "SCOTT" with two small dogs on each side and the 
words "Cuida A Los Que Amas" or 'take care of those you love' in my poor 
Spanish translation.  The cars...such as 57 Chevies etc. are a wonderful 
example of the skill that it took to return those cars to probably better 
condition than when new and I hope, one day, to go down there and visit one 
of their car shows.

Well, any old car will smell of gas/petrol, some more than others. It is 
only in recent years that petrol fumes cannot escape anymore and/or are 
carbon filtered.

Hello,

There is something called TIF8800A - a combustible gas detector. You can buy
them used on ebay, for much less than new ones cost. 

They do detect petrol fumes - I tested it :-)

Thanks for that, Scott.  Fabulous !

As a Messerschmitt driver, I found that a clear plexi dome wasn't quite the
greenhouse you would think, and offered quite a quirky but pleasant driving
experience.  Nevertheless, several accessory sunshades were available and
sometimes necessary,  including an external white linen cover, which would be
torn off at speed in a Healey.  It did magnify interior car sounds somewhat,
like a parabolic mike.

Listers, Interesting...

Could there be enough interest among BJ8 folks to get such a custom clear
plastic bubble top moulded in quantity to shape - and then everyone makes up
their own clamp down hardware?

What would you pay for such an item?

A couple of years ago Corvette was the featured marque at the  
Ironstone Concourse. There was a early 50s corvette there that had an  
original Clear Perspex removable top. The owner said that there was  
only about 5 that remained in the world and that GM dropped the idea  
after a very short time. Turns out the clear top would turn the  
inside of the car into a little a sauna and just cook anyone inside  
the car.

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110303215753.020c0400@pop.att.yahoo.com>

Thank you for all of the excellent suggestions. Here's what I did:

Hobby shops have liquid epoxy with the consistency of motor oil with 
various curing times. I wanted to backup the hole and reinforce the 
cracks with fiberglass.  Liquid epoxy was needed to thoroughly wet 
the glass fiber; paste glues cannot properly do that. The fabric and 
resin was applied as a backing inside the case and I used JB Weld to 
fill in the hole. Sanded it down and then applied India ink. I did 
not refinish the rest of the casing because it cleaned up well and 
has a nice original patina.

Cheers,
John

Listers, Interesting...

Could there be enough interest among BJ8 folks to get such a custom clear
plastic bubble top moulded in quantity to shape - and then everyone makes up
their own clamp down hardware?

What would you pay for such an item?

Subject: [Healeys] Restoring or Over-restoring
Message-ID: <003b01cbda76$3cfd2410$b6f76c30$@com>

I'm planning to sell my very nice 65 BJ8 driver in a couple of months.  I've
had some high-quality frame rail restoration done, painted black with the
remainder of the frame in great shape and still in red body color.  Can
anyone advise me whether I should paint the rest of the frame either color
to match or just leave it alone and let the next owner decide?  I don't want
to hide anything, but I'd like to have the car present well.

 

Thanks

Brian,
 
Hide it or not but keep yourself happy. If you are happy with it, then the
next owner is likely to also be happy with it. There are few Healeys with all
original metal work. Replacing metal is a way of life with these light weight
sheet metal cars. These cars were born of the buy it, race it and replace it
mindset. Long term life was not designed into the metal work.

Brian--

I'm not suggesting you withhold info on the work done but there is no sense
in highlighting it.  The black paint is incorrect and will just call
attention to the repair.

Brian,

If the metal work was quality like you state then a coat of red paint won't
hide anything more than a coat of black paint would.  IMHO, paint it red.

If you meant MBZ (Mercedes-Benz), the answer is not exactly.
The new SLK coming out later this year does have an optional glass insert
in the retractible hardtop and you can order it with the optional feature
where it electronically darkens to nearly opaque or goes transparent at the
flip of a switch.

What will they think of next?

Hi All,

I know this is the wrong list, but I'm currently not on the Spridget list so
I'll have to ask here.  I've developed a pinhole leak in my top radiator
hose and since we have a Bugeye get together tomorrow afternoon, there's no
time to order a new on from Moss.  Does anyone know if any of the auto parts
suppliers sell a small enough hose, say for a Japanese import, that will
work on the Bugeye, with and original 948 engine setup?  Of course I know
that  I'll probably have to cut it down to size, but the correct diameter
and curve in the elbow  is basically all I need.  I'll most like take the
hose down and see if I can find a match , but was hoping someone on the list
had some ideas.

Cheers,

Curt

Can't give you specifics, but every belt and hose I've bought for my BJ8 in recent years has been an 'off-the-shelf' 
product, usually Goodyear.

Maybe Goodyear tech. support--if they have such a thing--could help.

Hi Listers.

Bob Duquette is the winner.  I called a buddy (with 4 Bugeyes) and he had
plenty of very nice, "Made in England" Kevlar reinforced Bugeye top radiator
hoses.  He also had a number of the bottom hoses but I decided not to press
my luck.

Off the the Bugeye BBQ in about an hour.  Over 20 Bugeyes expected to
attend.

Thanks again to everyone.

PS I also bought some rescue tape!

the hose goes through the front opening and is clamped to the inner fender

I used my adjustable Trafficator on my new steering wheel which had to be used with a non-adjustable hub.  No problem. No modifications.

If you are talking about the hubs for wire wheels.  Why not go to moss's web 
site and see what you need.  The 12 Threads Per Inch hubs were use on Models 
except BN1 up to BJ8 chassis no. 26704 then they changed to 8 TPI hubs for the 
remainder of the BJ8 build.  At least that is what is listed on the Moss Web 
Site.  The BN1 hubs where 12 TPI but had a four bolt mounting pattern.  The BN2 
onward were 5 bolt mounting pattern.

G'day Keith

The Jamaican was a fibreglass body made by Fiberfab in the States. The WSM 
was a one-off aluminium job by Wilson-Spratt Motors in the UK. I had some 
correspondence with Tony Wilson-Spratt (son of the builder) some years ago 
when he contacted me after he saw photos of the Ward Special (there are 
distinct similarities in styling and provenance) I hadn't heard of the WSM 
3000 at the time. Tony was trying to buy back the car which had sat for 
years in less than ideal conditions, but the owner wouldn't sell. I've just 
emailed Tony to see if it was he who stumped up the Stg45k to buy it!

Cheers

Ira,

The adjustable trafficator can be used on a nonadjustable car, however the
short adjustable stator tube will have to be removed and since that piece
has the canceling mechanism, a separate "Striker Ring" and corresponding
wavy washer will have to be sourced and added to the unit so it will
cancel.  Also the canceling arm will need to be added (installed under the
steering wheel nut.)  It's Moss part no. 021-244 at $59.95.

See attached pictures of a non-adjustable unit I restored for an Austin
Healey owner.

Contact me off list and I can help.

Cheers,

Curt

Ira,

Now that I think about it, if the guy interested in your trafficator has a
nonadjustable setup, he already should have the canceling arm installed, so
all he'll need is the striker ring and wavy washer.

Hmmm... In the late 80's I owned a Bugeye with blue CA plates that read "BBQ".
Had it for 2 or 3 years.

All -

Speaking of AH coupes, there is a very pretty one-off Belgian converted BN1
coupe for sale in Italy right now:

http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page.php/carno/86882

I think has been featured around for a while, and the car was finally very
well restored recently.

I like the right hand shift lever, and the weber supercharger.  I would have
to imagine this thing is pretty darn fast.

While rear hub assemblies from late 1954 5 bolt rear axles to end of
production are interchangeable, they are not all the same.

Early 1954 cars from C221536 used hub ATC7240 with 5 BSF bolts while later BN1
and BN2 from C222571 used hub ATC7256 with UNF bolts. This had a plain surface
where the axle shaft face met and used just a paper joint gasket.

Later cars used hub assembly ATC7595. This hub has a groove cut into it for
the "O" ring ATC7588 plus the paper joint gasket that helped seal the joint.
You will want this hub

G'day Peter

I have had the pleasure of driving a few Messerschmitts including a Tiger and
found them one of the most amazing cars I have ever driven. There is a bloke
near me who has a well used one and for his other car he has an Aston Martin
DB4.

Not fast, but I found that all I had to do was to think about turning and
around it would go.

Yes I agree about the plexi dome being a pleasant experience.

Thanks for that, Scott.  Fabulous !

As a Messerschmitt driver, I found that a clear plexi dome wasn't quite the
greenhouse you would think, and offered quite a quirky but pleasant driving
experience.  Nevertheless, several accessory sunshades were available and
sometimes necessary,  including an external white linen cover, which would be
torn off at speed in a Healey.  It did magnify interior car sounds somewhat,
like a parabolic mike.

While rear hub assemblies from late 1954 5 bolt rear axles to end of
roduction are interchangeable, they are not all the same.
Early 1954 cars from C221536 used hub ATC7240 with 5 BSF bolts while later
BN1
nd BN2 from C222571 used hub ATC7256 with UNF bolts. This had a plain surface
here the axle shaft face met and used just a paper joint gasket.
Later cars used hub assembly ATC7595. This hub has a groove cut into it for
he "O" ring ATC7588 plus the paper joint gasket that helped seal the joint.

I remember in the sixties, after the tube and tire are on the rim, I was instructed to over inflate the tube just a bit with the valve missing to "get the kinks out". Afterwards replace valve and inflate to proper presure.

Ed - I don't mean to be argumentative but I believe a rear hub for a 67 BJ8 is
a rear hub for a 67 BJ8. Pretty simple, I think. There appears to be multiple
studs to be pressed into the hub; that's valuable but ancillary information.
One lister did explain that the later cars had different hubs (spacer and "O"
rings) which was helpful. I have sourced a used replacement and thanked all
who responded.

I would like to powder coat the steering box and column. However, the 
column is soldered to the steering box. The powder that I have been 
using curs @ 400 degrees F which may be very close to or over the

Have people experienced a problem with the column separating from the

Any suggestions or comments?

I believe the original steering box solder may have a much lower melting point.

Hi All

We are planning a trip to the New England area in Sep-Oct 2011.

Apart from the beautiful countryside and Fall colours is there anything 
special that we should see.

Hi John,
Too bad you weren't here after our Austin-Healey Conclave in the summer of 
1991 when I offered a week's tour through New England.  Almost 30 Healeys 
toured together.  We started in the historic village of Sturbridge in 
Massachusetts and then hit the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, then up to Newport 
Rhode Island to see the mansions.  Up to New Hampshire for a ride to the top 
of Mt. Washington and a tour on that beautiful Kancamagus Highway.  We broke 
up into 3 groups.  The 50s, 60s, & 70s.  Someone asked if this was by age.  
No, it was by speed!  Obviously the Bugeyes were in the first group.
Since you have time, you should get the tourist information from the states 
you plan to visit.  Maybe one of our listers can help you more there.
Good Luck and enjoy!

John--

Don't miss the Maine coast and if you want to do a city Boston has tons to
offer.
If you're up for a busman's holiday there are vintage races at Watkin's Glen
(NY) and Lime Rock (CT) that may fit in to your schedule.  If you'd like
further information let me know.

Perhaps a visit to a rather small car show in Hershey Pennsylvania on Saturday

New England is a great area for tourism. The area is loaded with places to
enjoy. Among them is the Mystic Seaport in Connecticut full of old sailing
ships and lore; Salem and Boston Massachusetts where there are infinate places
to go (Salem, where you can visit the various witch and warlock shops and even
talk with some of them). Definately rent a car and proceed up the coast line.
Send to the various  states for travel brochures. And above all, allow plenty
of time to enjoy New England!

I powder coated mine (twice, as I did not like it the first time) and there
was no problem. 

But I also tried to power coat gas tank - this WAS a problem. DO NOT try it.
Trust me... Unless you know where to find guys who like to solder old gas
tanks. :-)

Best, tadek

PS. I think someone on the list actually disassembled the tube from the
steering box - I think it was our Swedish friend, but I might be wrong.

David, do you [or have you in the past] pointed the solder joint out
to the Powder Coater so that the baking temperature is taken
into consideration ??

And it is not too far to go to the Brits on the Beach car show in Ocean
Grove, NJ on September 17. Very picturesque one square mile religious
retreat town that still has tents for many of the people there for the
summer, most of the houses are original Victorians, a wonderful beach and
approximately 150 British cars.

places to go (Salem, where you can visit the various witch and warlock shops
and even talk with some of them). Definately rent a car and proceed up the
coast line.
Send to the various  states for travel brochures. And above all, allow
plenty of time to enjoy New England!

The Graham Hill video had me staying up late -- then I discovered all the

later...........  (Note the Healey in the Jackie Stewart video.)

John - I believe that rather small car show in Hershey just happens to be
associated with the AACA annual fall meet which includes the world's largest
auto flea market also the preceding week you have the Fall Carlisle Auto flea
market which is about 35 miles from Hershey. I hope you can get away from New
England for a couple of days during that time period. You will definitely not
be disappointed with either of those auto related activities.

So much to do, so little time. By state:

Vermont:
     as someone mentioned, The British Invasion:
     <http://www.britishinvasion.com/>
     VT-100 for a scenic drive
     <http://www.travelguideofamerica.com/scenicdrives/route100.html>
     But it will be jammed with leaf-peepers, (tourists driving
     slowly to see the foliage)
     One of the Norman Rockwell museums. He painted covers for Life
     Magazine, and captured the spirit and soul of America, and
     of people in general.
     <http://www.normanrockwellvt.com/FramedPrints.htm>

New Hampshire:
     Mt. Washington (highest point in the northeast, and site of the
     highest recorded wind speed). It has a toll road to the top,
     but it might be closed by then.
     <http://mtwashingtonautoroad.com/>
     If so, take a ski-lift tram up Wildcat Mtn, across the road.
     <http://www.skiwildcat.com/>
     Kancamagus (kank-a-maw-gus) Highway for scenic beauty
     More leaf-peepers.
     <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancamagus_Highway>
     Lake Winnipesaukee, New England's largest lake.
     <http://www.winnipesaukee.com/>
     Great views of it from Castle in the Clouds.
     <http://www.castleintheclouds.org/>
     NH Motor Speedway has lots going on, including a Richard Petty
     Driving Experience.
     <http://www.nhms.com/schedule/>

Maine:
     Route 1 and Rte 1A along the coast
     From the NH border north, as far as you have time.
     Stop in Portland at J's Oyster for a pint and steamers
     (it's a small fisherman's bar on the waterfront, and
     they serve Guinness on tap and steamed clams.)
     <http://www.jsoyster.com/>
     Owls Head Transportation Museum, old cars and planes
     <http://www.ohtm.org/>

Massachusetts:
     Boston, and if you are into history, its Freedom Trail
     Grab a bite anywhere in the North End (Italian section)
     <http://www.thefreedomtrail.org/>
     Beer? A tour of Boston Brewery, and a taste of its
     award-winning Samuel Adams Boston Lager.
     <http://www.samueladams.com/>
     If you are into the American version of cricket, which we
     call "baseball", there's the venerable Fenway Park, the
     cherished home of the Red Sox. If you time it right, they
     might still be playing.
      <http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/index.jsp?c_id=bos>
     Faneuil Hall (fan'l hall) will keep you shopping:
     <http://www.faneuilhallmarketplace.com/>
     Education? My alma mater, Boston College, is up Comm. Ave. in
     Chestnut Hill. Across the Charles river is Cambridge, are
     Harvard and MIT (Mass. Inst. of Tech.). I'd start a fight
     if I didn't mention BU and Northeastern, too.
     Outside of Boston:
     Pick up a nice 100 S for the ride, and take it home as a souvenir:
     <http://www.copleymotorcars.com/sports_and_classics5_45.4vo893.html>
     Fancy a Mercedes Gullwing, instead?
     <http://paulrussell.com/>
     Lars Anderson Auto Museum, in an old estate in Brookline:
     <http://www.larzanderson.org/>
     If you are into rugby, or Australian Rules football,
     there's the New England Patriots in Foxboro. They
     should be in season.
     <http://www.patriots.com/>
     American soccer is played at the same stadium, but if we
     don't care, why should you? :)
     <http://revolutionsoccer.net/>
     The Mayflower and Plymouth Rock, "where the Pilgrim's landed"
     <http://www.plimoth.org/features/mayflower-2/>
     "The Cape" - Cape Cod, where much of New England and large
     parts of Canada spend their summer. It will be off season,
     so it should be nice. The Chatham Bars Inn is a nice place
     to stay.
     <http://www.chathambarsinn.com/>
     In Sandwich you'll find a car museum:
     <http://www.heritagemuseumsandgardens.org/current_exhibits>
     Western Mass - the Bershire Mountains
     <http://www.berkshires.org/>
     And just over the border, in NY, take a ride in a biplane:

3-of-3.

Rhode Island
     The "cottages" of Newport. Everyone else calls them mansions.
     How the other half lived, before they created income taxes:
     <http://www.newportmansions.org/>
     It's also the once-and-some-hope-future home of the America's Cup.

Connecticut
     Mystic Seaport, but you'll have missed the wooden boat show:
     <http://www.mysticseaport.org/>
     <http://www.thewoodenboatshow.com/>
     Lime Rock Park, for road racing
     <http://www.limerock.com/>
     F40, to pick up a car as a souvenir. Bring money. Owner Wayne Carini
     hosts a program called "Chasing Classic Cars".
     <http://www.f40.com/inventorymanager.php?filter=current>
     <http://dhd.discovery.com/tv/chasing-classic-cars/about/about.html>

Since you are in the neighborhood, you might want to spend a day in
New York City. The Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty by day,
and a Broadway show at night.

For reference, you can drive from Boston to western Massachusetts
(East-West) on I-90 (Interstate-90, the Mass(achusetts Turn)Pike,
in about 3 hours. You can drive across Rhode Island in an hour if
you stop for lunch. Vermont (VT) or New Hampshire (NH) south-north
will take 3-4 hours, depending on which road you take. Maine all
by itself is about the size of the other 5 NE states. Except for the
coast, there isn't much in Maine except pine trees. All those times
are on highways, not stopping to dawdle. But stick to the back roads,
eat at non-chain restaurants, and you'll have a great time.

And if you're a drinking man, New England has lots of brew pubs.
Just ask. :)

Maybe you should stay another month or two.

Lyn and I have just purchased a finished, road ready, very early Healey Blue
BN1. This car was fully restored by us about 4 years ago, so we know her
inside and out. She's Body 156, finished 19 August, 1953. We haven't had a
drivable Healey in 16 years, always building them for others. We talked it
over, nobody's getting any younger, so we went for it.
Come on spring!

Since other people have written asking questions about trips they're planning
I figured why not me? Please delete if you're not interested.
My wife and I are planning a visit to England in September. We'll spend time
visiting her family but highlight for me is the Goodwood Revival. We have
tickets and a place to stay during the event but I'd like to correspond with
anyone with Goodwood experience. Any hints, tips, suggestions for getting the
most out of the 3 days would be welcome. Anything Healey-related happening? To
save listers the trouble of deleting, you can reply to me off-list.
Thanks in advance

Congratulations Rich and Lyn.  That is a beautiful car you got from Don
Husack.  But then you know that since you did it.  As you mentioned on the
phone, I checked out the AHCSO website at http://tinyurl.com/4jtef2y  and it
is 3 pages down under Don's name.  Gorgeous.  Once Spring arrives, you and Lyn
can have some wonderful country drives.

Nope, just a couple of small details that werenbt available 4 years ago,
like the early style tonneau cover, and the early pattern main boot mat. I
also have a pair of the early solid Perspex side screens to restore and fit.

Dear Healey Friends,
A company called ACME fabricating company had an ad in Road and Track 1962 that showed a very handsome looking Hardtop for a 3000. It looked like a fastback and came all the way to the back.

Has anyone heard of them and if so does anyone know if they are still to be found and for sale?

Many thanks and kindest regards,

Much thanks to those who answered my question about mounting tube tires.
Looks like talcum powder and a repair kit (if I can find one), will be added
to the inner tube in the boot.

Now to turn in another direction. I have been wanting a set center lock
alloy wheels for my BT7. They usually go on sale at VB under the guise of
MGC wheels, but they have the same part number. I have been trying t
convince myself to buy them for two years. Last February I found a set of
mint used ones at the Chicagoland MG Club Autojumble. That is why I was
trying to decide which car (I have a C also) to put them on. I decided to
leave the C with wire wheels, and to make sure a flat wouldn't cripple the
car.

The alloy wheels are 5.5 inches wide as opposed to the 4 inches of the wire
wheels.Vb suggests using 185-70-15 tires.

Has anyone made this upgrade? Will that size tire affect the speedometer?

I hope someone has tried this before and will share their experience with
the list.

Thanks again,

/Jack

This is the same size as 72 spoke rims.

No major probs with the speedo at that tire size.  You might read
about 5% fast (depending on tire manufacturer), check w/ GPS on
highway.

Subject: [Healeys] Transport to Conclave
Message-ID: <AANLkTin6K92NK2nd7kUqpExX4PbEVMoW=_CJUrFbzBbM@mail.gmail.com>

Those of you who have read the March issues of *HEALEY MARQUE* may have seen
the article about transport via enclosed car carrier to Conclave.   I am
serving as coordinator for this program and am able to supply pricing and
other information for groups of drivers who might be interested in having
their Healeys transported to or from Conclave in Colorado Springs from
various cities around the continental US.



My job is not to put interested individuals in touch with each other but
rather to help previously-formed groups of Healey owners from various areas
explore the option of having their cars trucked to or from Colorado Springs
by truck.  BTW this program is not restricted solely to members of
AHCA--Healey owners whether or not affiliated with any club who might want
to attend Conclave those folks are welcome to participate just as they are
welcome to attend Conclave!  Conclave is taking place July 3-8 and in order
to coordinate logistics plans should be made as early as possible as the
major transportation companies are already getting busy for this peak
period.


Please send replies and inquiries to me OFFLIST at michael.oritt at gmail.com or
call me at:  305-793-9467 (cell) or 443-295-7888 (home).  I'm in MD (EST)

To get a good idea of the layout of the land, Google Maps works wonders.
<http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1000+bryn+mawr+road+carlisle+pa&ie=UTF8&z=16>

And Bing.com maps will give you a bird's eye view.

Either one will give you driving directions from where you are in New England.
For example, Boston MA to Carlisle PA is 412 miles, 7 hours driving time.
(Google maps will also give you directions from Perth. I like this step:
"31. Kayak across the Pacific Ocean".)

185/70-15 is very close to the same diameter as 165-15, so there should 
be little difference in your speedo reading if that was what you ran 
previously.  Your biggest problem will be finding that size without 
spending a lot of money for them.  It has gotten to be a rare size.  
Some of the companies that sell lots of different brands and sizes of 
tires will have information on their website about the specifications of 
each tire which would include the outside diameter or a conversion chart..
Tire Rack may be one of those sites.  
http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/45_conversionchart.html
Other sizes to try would be 195/65-15 or 205/60-15.

Subject: [Healeys] rear muffler
Message-ID: <004e01cbde67$69c00220$3d400660$@com>

Hey folks,

 

I cannot seem to find a set of rear mufflers for my 3000.  I don't see the
sense in replacing the entire exhaust with SS when I need only a left rear
muffler. Can anyone provide a lead to a supplier? 

 

I don't usually cheap out on a project.  So if I can get some practical
advice regarding replacing the entire system with Stainless and which
supplier to buy from, I'd appreciate it.  If I go with the SS, I'm seeing
pricing from $800 at VB to $1200 elsewhere.  

 

      Thank you,

A good muffler shop should be able to splice in a couple new 'resonators.'  Should cost less than $200.

I replaced front and rear mufflers on my BJ8 with some glasspacks I got from JC Whitney.  It's louder and harsher than a 
stock mild steel system but, oddly, it's pretty quiet at highway speeds (and no, I'm not supersonic, yet).

BTW, what's a 'left rear muffler?'  The resonators fit crosswise (I assume you're talking about the resonators).

Brian, I purchased new resonators from Moss Motors and cut-in, and welded 
them myself.  The resonators were very good quality and perfect bends in the 
output pipes.  The old healey sound is back and I'm very satisfied with 
them.

Hi Brian.  I would try Healey Surgeons.  I bought a complete exhaust from Moss
about 20 years ago on my 3000 and just had to replace the rearmost muffler,
but it turns out that the ones I got from Moss all those years ago are not the
stock shape or size so when I did get the correct one, it didn't fit, so I
would have had to buy both.  I chose to patch it instead until they both go
out, then I'll buy the set.  Moss may have the correct ones now, but Healey
Surgeons does for sure.

Does anyone have any experience with Rostra 250-1223 cruise control.  It is a
non-vacuum unit. The following is needed to complete an installation: cruise
control console switch 250-3592; clutch switch 250-4206; drive shaft sensor
250-4165. I found a vendor that sells everything as a package for $282.

Here's the installation manual, if you're interested:
 http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/1223inst.pdf

It looks like the Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control is not being made anymore.
They're available from Ebay sellers but some are pricey (buy-it-now $399)
and/or not covered by warranty (one Ebay seller said it *might* be warranted
by Audiovox, another said no returns)

Audiovox sells a model # 250-1316 but it's the same as the Rostra 250-1223.

I believe Al and the rest of us would appreciate  an opinion of the operation
and the quality of the unit also.

What did you think David?

Thanks,   Mark

The installation is time consuming to make it look good. We have the  
unit installed but will not be able to road test for a while since it  
is in a resoration project that will not be road worthy for a several  
weeks. However it is a nice unit clean I will post some photos on our  
web site on it soon.

Finally, after years of putting up with engine misses above 3000 rpm, 
I've installed new plug wires--
metal core, with NGK plug caps.
Currently using NGK plugs in the Denis Welch head.
I've heard many times that the graphite core wire breaks down, 
etc--maybe that is true.
Still using the threaded distributor cap and coil.  Thanks to Randy at

Hi Lou,
Although I can attest to the fact that solid core plug wires will make your
spark plugs operate really well be cautioned that the EMF interference that
they produce is very substantial and can be a serious impediment if you try
to use other electronic devices such as a cell phone, radio receiver or GPS
in your car. Been there, done that!!
New good quality carbon core wires will work perfectly and resolve these
issues when you encounter them.

Indeed they will interfere with electronic equipment.  I have a Racecam
camera and Traqmate data acquisition system on the Courier  that I moved
slightly over the winter and when I went to test the systems in their new
location I found that the DA section was totally inoperative and that the
camera deck would rapidly turn off and on.  I was totally befuddled until I
remembered that I had for whatever reason also switched over to a
distributor cap with solid-core wires and once I went back to the carbon
wires everything was once again fine.

I do have it installed and it works great.  Here's a link to my project paper
on the topic.  Lin Rose has a project report on cruise control that I link to
a couple places in my project paper.   Lin's is the vacuum cruise control
version and mine is the electric version of the same product.  Hope this
helps.

Does anyone have any experience with Rostra 250-1223 cruise control.  It is a
non-vacuum unit. The following is needed to complete an installation: cruise
control console switch 250-3592; clutch switch 250-4206; drive shaft sensor
250-4165. I found a vendor that sells everything as a package for $282.

Here's the installation manual, if you're interested:
http://www.thecruisecontrolstore.com/1223inst.pdf

It looks like the Audiovox CCS-100 cruise control is not being made anymore.
They're available from Ebay sellers but some are pricey (buy-it-now $399)
and/or not covered by warranty (one Ebay seller said it *might* be warranted
by Audiovox, another said no returns)

Audiovox sells a model # 250-1316 but it's the same as the Rostra 250-1223.

And be kind to your neighbors!!!!

Interference will not only be confined to your vehicle.  So sitting at a traffic 
light you can
bother other vehicles surrounding yours too.  If you are using the vehicle 
solely on the track
and need every last bit of spark energy then use solid wires in that controlled 
environment.
If your vehicle is a street car please stick with the carbon core cables.

NFI in any cable manufacturer but a personal interest in noise levels as it 
effects my "Ham"
radio and also the broadcast, AM, band where I listen to traffic reports in the 
New York City
area.

I also use the solid core wires but have to change back to the old carbon
core to tune it because of the interference on my dwell and tach meter.  I
was surprised by just how much interference they put out.  The only carbon
core wire I have had go out was too close to the header.  I use Taylor wires
and both kinds are quality made so if you use any type of electronics in the
car I would suggest using the shielded core wire.  For performance solid
core is the way to get the most spark.

Steve,

Thanks for the info. You did a great writeup on the Rostra unit.  For me, your
experience shows the Rostra is a better alternative to an Audiovox from Ebay.

Thanks,

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110312110058.01fe4940@pop.att.yahoo.com>

There are a couple of types of chrome like triple plate (show 
chrome?) and flash chrome which I believe is a single plate. I 
believe healey's may have had the single plate but I am not sure.

I may not re-chrome everything because some of the parts are in very 
good condition.

What type of chrome are people having done?

Thank you,

All,

Not that I have solid core wires but I don't use any of those devices when driving the Healeys.  Just really enjoy listening to the purr of the 6 banger!

Ed,

It makes us, albeit becoming seemingly rarer, a group of enthusiasts, who
enjoy the Healey and other LBC's for what they were and are, not what we
want them to be (AC, Ipods, Stereo, cruise control, fuel injection,
etc.), a period sports car of timeless grace and beauty, that traverses
the back roads and highways with a sound sweet to the ear and a grace not
found in modern cars. I will say it again..... you want the amenities,
buy a Miata!!  Just checked my mail and we can add Randy to the rare
gathering of enthusiasts!!

Hi John,

Was just reading up on chrome myself and found this page very informative.
http://www.finishing.com/faqs/chrome.html

I haven't seen any copper under the nickel after sandblasting some bumper
overriders and also noted that the nickel thickness wasn't very consistent.
There are areas where the chrome has gone almost on the bare steel. I'm
guessing they had a single nickel layer on the steel then straight to chrome.

As the article above indicates, there are a lot of buzzwords around chrome and
particularly re-chroming.

I plan on having the steel parts like bumpers stripped, repaired/polished and
triple chromed (copper, nickel, chrome) The non-ferrous items such as the
grille and instrument bezels will be stripped, polished and chromed.

Smaller items like screws and dome nuts are hard to justify rechroming but
then again I don't want to replace them with the nearest modern equivalent and
spend the next ten years wishing I had kept the originals.

Cheers,
Andy.

Lucky you!!  My Marque magazine arrived minus a large piece of the cover with 
the first few
pages creased and damaged.   So I e-mailed for a replacement copy.

Another Healey magazine arrived wrapped and in good shape.

I'll leave it to the accountant types to determine if it is cost effective to 
replace a few or
wrap them all.  My preference would be to warp them and fix the problem.

i have always had wire center plugwires.  i assume that is why i have a lot of static on my radio, but then it has static even when the motor is off.  aren't most carbon center wires too big for the distributor cap openings?   hjim

I believe I remember this same 100S NOT selling at auction, 7 - 8 years ago,
for $175K. But sold right after and then 3 - 4 years ago or so it for sale for
around $350K. Not a bad return on investment. (if that was what you wanted -
I'd still own it!)

It's better to use the TR6 cap with pre made suppression core wires.
That's how you get the suppression core wire to last if you want to
use them.

Carbon core wires never last very long in the original Lucas cap
because the wires aren't designed to work with a pointed male screw
terminal.

I had a tr6 cap once but it wouldn't fit on my dm6 distributor.  That cap 
only seems to fit the later
distributors.

I use the same equipment and have no problem with interference. I play the
radio (both AM and FM) in my garage while the engine is running without a
problem. My wife has used a cell phone and an iPad in the car while we were on
the road with no interference. Same story with my 57 Land Rover. So start the
Lucas jokes now.

Message-ID: <004001cbe12d$ad81bd50$4001a8c0@markl946cfrd7q>

I picked up an NOS top load, dissy cap that has the black bakelite "screw in"
caps and copper washers for all the plug wire holes.  Has anyone tried to use
the carbon wires with
this type of cap?   Normally its necessary to spread the individual wires over
the
copper washer before you screw the bakelite screw caps in.  But its not really
possible
to spread the carbon wires like that.  Can the carbon wire just be bent in one
direction and screwed down?   Or are the old stranded wires the only way to go
with this cap?

Definitely stranded... Maybe there are some newer tech wires out there
that might work, but standard carbon core is a bad idea.

I've had the same problem, time and time again. I would love to have the 
Marque mag wrapped. You would think they could afford it seeing as they 
raised the dues by $10.

I have figured it out, Bob !!

One get FIVE [5] cars !!!  i.e.,
1]  One has badge bar w/lites & badges & headlite stone guards;
2] One comes without;
3] One car comes with correctly oriented spears;
4] One car with them incorrect;
5] One cars sans Windscreen Wipers & Wiper Arms.

All cars have steering wheel wrong:  SORRY - sue me <G> !!!!

And of course & due to price, ALL cars are Certified 100M Lemans !!

I have always used copper core plug leads and non suppression plug caps. 
I did fit extra capacitors and surpressors in the circuitry (alternator 
/ dynamo, radio feed) though and fitted the aerial on a rear wing. In 
the old days there could be considerable interference on the AM/MW and 
LW, but these are hardly used anymore over here. It is all FM, which has 
barely any problems with static from the ignition. No problems with a 
Garmin/TomTom. I do not know about the mobile phone as I never use it in 
a car.
Anyway, a radio in our cars is a waste of time. I have to wear earplugs 
to protect my hearing so I why bother with the radio.

The copper plug leads are meant to be used with suppression caps. This
combination should be as good at interference suppression as using carbon
leads.

The second picture with the driving lights and badges shows the spears

We have been trying to find the source of backfiring & eliminate it on a
friend's BN7 (twin carb). Every time he shifts it back fires one time, very
loud. It sounds like a rifle shot. I am not talking about the normal rumbling
during deceleration. The car has recently been fully restored. The engine,
distributor & carbs were professionally rebuilt. We have double checked the
timing & carb adjustments. We cannot find any exhaust system leaks. If there
are any they are very small. The tail pipes exit in front of the left rear
wheel. The muffler has some damage, it was partially crushed when trying to
unload the car from a trailer when it got hung up on the trailer bed to ramp
angle. However, I could not see, feel or hear any exhaust leak in the muffler
or pipes. I have read previous posts on this subject & they always seem to say
that the cause is running lean or rich or exhaust leaks. I don't think we have
any of these issues. Can you suggest any tests we could do to isolate the
cause of the backfiring? Has anyone experienced this type of backfiring &
eliminated it? How?

A member of our Jensen fraternity here in the Netherlands had a lot of 
chrome work done by chrome paint spraying. I is nearly indistinguishable 
from real chrome. It is just different to the touch, chrome could, paint 
warmer.
It is an excellent replacement for chrome on mazak items that are pitted 
or bumpers that have been repaired. Just clean, fill, sand and fill, 
sand again, prime, sand, paint, clear coat.
Mazak items cannot be restored with metal so cannot be chromed unless a 
lot of material is removed to smooth out the pitted areas. Same with 
bumpers, on repaired items it is hard to get an absolute even and smooth 
surface when repair welding or dent removal has been performed if you 
cannot use filler.

That sound like a valve issue to me. Stuck/slow combined with a  
mixture issue maybe caused by an intake manifold leak. Yeah, intake  
leaks usually cause a spit back on the intake side like 100 Sixes  
always get, but the excess mixture can detonate in the hot exhaust  
pipe. DOes the car have headers?

Kees,

Actually altogether not true.  Repeated layers of cooper followed by
sanding/polishing can fill in some irregularities not fixed by quality metal
work, dent removal, and welding.  However this get very expensive very
quickly!

Subject: [Healeys] Rotor Bolts
Message-ID: <4D7D0DA9.2040504@comcast.net>

My P2 BJ8 has bolts holding the front hubs to the brake rotors.  I'd like to check torque on the nuts occasionally 
(yearly), but the bolts turn.  It occurred to me that I could tack MIG weld the heads to the rotors on the backside.  I 
mentioned this on the Forum and a racer said he tried it on the rear studs and the studs failed almost immediately and 
he lost a wheel.  He attributed the failure to the heat from welding.

Anyone tried this on front bolts?  Recommendations for/against using Grade 8 (or Grade 5) bolts?  I wouldn't want to gas 
weld the bolt heads, but it seems to me MIG tacks would keep the heat more localized and not cause embrittlement but, 
obviously, there are potentially serious possible consequences.

Subject: [Healeys] FW:  backfiring
Message-ID: <003d01cbe1b2$1e61b820$5b252860$@ca>

Hi Gary,

1.	When the car is in the driveway and you "rev" it up with a quick
release, do you get the same backfire? Or,
2.	Does it only backfire when the load on the engine is suddenly
reduced?
3.	Is there any "popping" in the exhaust at idle?
4.	Does it backfire when changing gears "regardless" of rpm?
5.	If distributor timing was the culprit, I suspect that the backfiring
would be coming through the carb not the exhaust.  Unless the timing was so
retarded that it was firing when the exhaust valves were open..  However, if
such was the case, you would have no power.
6.	If Cam timing was the issue, I can't understand why it would only
occur "once"..this tells me that it is likely one particular cylinder giving
the problem.  Cam timing would affect every cylinder.
7.	Are you sure that your spark plug leads are fine?
8.	I would try a different dist cap.

At the end of the day, it sounds as if you have unburned fumes in your
exhaust that are "exploding" when you take the load off the engine..  This
raises two questions:
1.	Where/why are there unburnt fumes and where are they coming from?
2.	How are they being ignited?

Unburned fumes can come from an exhaust valve being slightly open during the
compression stroke, (valve clearances too tight?)
Ignition can come from a distributor cap or possibly spark plug leads
arcing? (try running the engine in the dark and see if you can see any blue
arcs)

Have you checked to see if the gaps on the rockers/pushrods are
correct.....I'm wondering if you have one exhaust valve that is too tight
and remaining open on a compression stroke.

Try doing a compression test on each cylinder and see if one stands out as
being low.

Good luck

Paul

It sounds to me as though the vacuum advance capsule has ruptured. When this
is the case the timing does not advance when you lift your foot so on
overrun the engine behaves as though it has retarded ignition.

In general Locktite or similar should be used with bolts holding brake 
discs, calipers, caliper halves etc. They should not be used twice but 
renewed when they have been fitted before, however that is a bit over 
the top AFAIAC
Do under no circumstance weld them as they may loose their strength. 
These are grade 8 (at least) bolts.

Bob,

I think welding is a bad idea.  It will adversely affect the strength of 
the bolts.

If you want to use a better than OEM, I'd go with AN bolts and nyloc 
nuts.  Just check the bolts when you repack the wheel bearings.

Curt,
You can get away with it when the irregularities are very small, however 
deep pitting and "waves" cannot practically be dealt with by repeatedly 
electroplating it with copper and sanding. This is only theory.
The only thing I can imagine is lead loading of steel parts first to get 
it smooth but I am not certain this will stand up to the electroplating 
of copper.

Sorry Kees, but in approx. 50 years of working on all sorts of cars,
I have NEVER seen, felt, R & R'd, etc. anything but Grade 5
hardware until recently - only on brand new car.

The electroplating process resists entering pits and small cavities.
Therefore the usual method of repairing pitted castings, etc. is that each
individual pit must be drilled out clean and then filled with silver solder
and buffed. Then the usual copper, nickel chrome stages are applied. Of
course a casting with many pits is going to be very expensive to process, as
drilling and repairing each pit will be very time consuming.

Subject: [Healeys] Rear Hub  Bearing Challange
Message-ID: <004501cbe1bf$10cb6780$32623680$@ca>

I had a leaking seal on the rear hub.  While replacing it, I decided to
replace the bearing also.

 

I purchased the bearing from Moss (powertune brand)..made in Taiwan.

 

To set the bearing into the hub took an extraordinary amount of pressure and
the bearing lost some of It's "freewheeling".

 

I'm in the process of putting the hub (with bearing) back on the rear axle
case..I've been using a drift on the inner race (as per factory manual).

 

I've been pounding for 10 minutes and making little if no progress past the
threads...  without going to a sledge hammer, I can't see getting this thing
on.  Furthermore, the race is getting "less free" as the pressure
builds..it's certainly not freewheeling.

 

Question:   

 

1.       Anybody else have this problem?

2.       I understand that the bearing has to be tight, but this seems
extraordinary.

3.       Anybody else have problems with tolerances with these bearings?

4.       Suggestions?

 

Thanks

Paul

Ed,
My experience spans about the same period but mainly on EU cars. I do 
not think I ever came across low grade bolts in the high stressed areas 
mentioned plus most suspension parts. Hardly any experience on USA iron 
though.

This would exclude mazak. You cannot solder it using lead, bronze or 
silver. You may have a small chance with some aluminium alloy, the name 
of it I cannot remember at the moment, but it always appears on classic 
car shows in EU.
However melt down of small parts is very likely.
Chrome paint spraying is easier and way safer with an astonishing result.

Thanks for the replies. Keep them coming.
I will double check the timing & valve adjustment & look closely for exhaust
leaks. One thing that I noticed is that the backfiring seemed to occur almost
immediately as we left his house for a test drive. The car had not even had
time to heat up. I would not think that there would be enough heat in the
exhaust system to light off the backfire. We will try pulling out the choke to
see if the problem gets better or worse. I understand the concept of the
timing gear being installed off by 1 or more teeth, but I do not know how to
check for that other than at top dead center (on the compression stroke) both
valves should be closed. The engine was rebuilt by a shop that has
considerable experience, but of course anyone cam make a mistake. I also
understand how the distributor could be 180 degrees out, but it makes my head
hurt when I try to understand how the engine could run without manifesting any
other problems other than a single backfire upon shifting gears. This car
drove to Conclave last year & other than the backfiring, appeared to be fine.
No fuel mileage issues, starts easily, does not over heat, runs & idles
smoothly, etc.

Run a compression test to see if one of the cylinders is off then check the

I thought those "bolts" are actually studs that are pressed into the hub. The
unthreaded portion of the stud has splines which should prevent them from
turning when you tighten the nuts.

My P2 BJ8 has bolts holding the front hubs to the brake rotors. I'd like to
check torque on the nuts occasionally (yearly), but the bolts turn. It
occurred to me that I could tack MIG weld the heads to the rotors on the
backside. I mentioned this on the Forum and a racer said he tried it on the
rear studs and the studs failed almost immediately and he lost a wheel. He
attributed the failure to the heat from welding.

Anyone tried this on front bolts? Recommendations for/against using Grade 8
(or Grade 5) bolts? I wouldn't want to gas weld the bolt heads, but it seems
to me MIG tacks would keep the heat more localized and not cause embrittlement
but, obviously, there are potentially serious possible consequences.

No, BJ8's have bolts. Comes in handy when converting to solid wheels from
wires. Over the past 30 years, I have had mine off and on a few times. I can't
recall ever finding a loose one. I think it is a non-probem.

Can you at least tell if it's front or rear?  If so, pull wheels on both sides--you might be able to feel roughness or 
looseness on the one going bad.

This doesn't sound right.  The bearings should go into the hub without inordinate effort with a hydraulic press.  I 
don't think they should bind at all after insertion.  These are roller bearings, don't think there should be any preload.

I pull the hubs using a combination of the axel reversed and a large gear puller.  I've always been able to get them 
back on with a piece of steel tube the same ID as the inner race and a, ahem, suitable instrument of persuasion.  You 
can warm the hub and bearings up a little in the oven (obviously not hot enough to melt the seals).

Paul, I reinstall the rear hub (after cleaning and lubricating the O.D. of
the axle housing and the I.D. of the bearing), by putting a block of wood
across the diameter of the hub and tapping on that until the hub is far
enough on to install the nut.  Make sure that you don't get the hub cocked
or it will bind.  When the nut will thread on, you can use the nut to push
the hub the rest of the way on.
 
If you are having so much trouble, you may have the hub cocked.  I would
pull it off and start over.  I didn't experience a problem with getting the
hub on.  
It's best to alternate tapping on one side of the hub and then the other,
and move around the diameter as it goes on.

I had a leaking seal on the rear hub.  While replacing it, I decided to
replace the bearing also.



I purchased the bearing from Moss (powertune brand)..made in Taiwan.



To set the bearing into the hub took an extraordinary amount of pressure and
the bearing lost some of It's "freewheeling".



I'm in the process of putting the hub (with bearing) back on the rear axle
case..I've been using a drift on the inner race (as per factory manual).



I've been pounding for 10 minutes and making little if no progress past the
threads...  without going to a sledge hammer, I can't see getting this thing
on.  Furthermore, the race is getting "less free" as the pressure
builds..it's certainly not freewheeling.



Question:  



1.       Anybody else have this problem?

2.       I understand that the bearing has to be tight, but this seems
extraordinary.

3.       Anybody else have problems with tolerances with these bearings?

4.       Suggestions?

Paul,

Doesn't sound like the correct bearing.  Installing the bearing in the 
hub or on the axle should have no affect on the bearing's ability to 
turn.  I'd suggest measuring the inside and outside diameters of the new 
and old bearings and see how different they are.  You have a six inch 
dial/digital caliper?

I normally get these bearings from a bearing supplier.  The Timken part 
number is 209L.  The OE supplier's (Ransome & Marles) part number was LDJ45.

Cheers,

Concentrate on the manifold to head junction - are the bolts too loose
or too tight or was the gasket changed?

Also, if you have a bad ignition wire or cracked/ failing distributor
cap or rotor, that can also cause this problem.

Mr. Ward Special -

If you suspect it is the front, usually a hard left or right turn (at
about 20-30 mph) and the resultant noise should give you a good idea
which side.  If checking rear, do drunken S turns in your neighborhood
(at 20 mph) - noise will increase if bad at the back.

I suspect front bearings - rear bearings are more or less bullet proof.

Gary, had a similar problem with a fellow AHSTC members car.  Backfired LOUD!
Drove three hours each way to help him out.  Went through everything and it
only made it somewhat better.  He previously had Pertonix ignition installed
and when we swapped out the dist with and conventional points one, the problem
went away.

We have been trying to find the source of backfiring & eliminate it on a
friend's BN7 (twin carb). Every time he shifts it back fires one time, very
loud. It sounds like a rifle shot. I am not talking about the normal rumbling
during deceleration. The car has recently been fully restored. The engine,
distributor & carbs were professionally rebuilt. We have double checked the
timing & carb adjustments. We cannot find any exhaust system leaks. If there
are any they are very small. The tail pipes exit in front of the left rear
wheel. The muffler has some damage, it was partially crushed when trying to
unload the car from a trailer when it got hung up on the trailer bed to ramp
angle. However, I could not see, feel or hear any exhaust leak in the muffler
or pipes. I have read previous posts on this subject & they always seem to
say
that the cause is running lean or rich or exhaust leaks. I don't think we
have
any of these issues. Can you suggest any tests we could do to isolate the
cause of the backfiring? Has anyone experienced this type of backfiring &
eliminated it? How?

I was having backfire a few years ago and Norman Nock diagnosed it as a leak
between the exhaust manifold and the front exhaust pipes. I had tightened them
too much and put a crack where the bolts go on one of the flanges. Years later
I had a similar backfire and imediatly went to the same junction. This time it
was the "cheap" exhaust  gasket I got from a big name supplier that blew. It
looked fine and the bolts were tight.  John at BCS sold me a quality gasket
set that solved the problem which has not returned in years. I believe they
told me to sand the surfaces before installing.

Installing Pertronix usually requires a significant adjustment of the
distributor to adjust for different timing setting on the cam-magnet
sleeve.  If you didn't retime the car, you would have gotten poor
running.

Have had Pertonix on all four of my LBCs with FAR less trouble over
the last 15 years then dealing with contacts on just one car in the
80's when I still used them.

No thanks!!

Thats a very good question.   BJ8 used bolts.   However, Moss's new wire 
wheel  adapters now use bolts even for the roadster 3000.   I found that out 
a bit late after attempting to install the studs that would not fit.  After 
contacting Moss they let me know of the  change.  Almost destroyed one of my 
hubs in the process.

This leads me to another question.  I have always fastened the hubs to the rotors by running the bolts through from the 
backside, probably because that's how they were when I bought the car.  Now, I see that, probably, the bolts should be 
run through from the outside; i.e. the bold heads would be on the outer side of the hub.

Now, I'm wondering if I could tack weld the nuts on the inside of the rotor, avoiding heat embrittlement of the bolts.  
Yes, I know how to torque the bolts properly, but without anything to stop them from turning the nuts or bolts can loosen.

I'm an original owner of a '67 BJ8 and the rotor bolts are from the backside
and the nuts on the outer side.  As I remember the bolt heads are held from
turning by their proximity to the machined flange on the backside of the hub.
If the bolts turn when torqued, the bolt head points on the flats must be worn
alowing rotation.  Hope this helps.

I was refinishing a couple of parts and found:

Fuel tank filler pipe manufactured by "Westwood P.Pending 29584". I 
wonder if a patent was ever issued?

A number on the back of the Smiths heater: "T62, 1, 4". I refinished 
the heater but protected the number even though it cannot be seen 
once assembled.

Finds like this when restoring a healey are a nice surprise!

I know you are not looking for front wheel bearings but I recently 
bought some from Applied Industrial Technologies and they had the 
Timken bearings in stock. They might have the rear bearings too. They 
are a nationwide (USA) distributor.

The wires I'm using are Belden 7MM, stranded metal core, with NGK 
suppression caps. No RF interference today on our Healey drive--180 mile 
trip to the desert, the mountains and back again.  The best part-- a BN1 
keeping up with a BT7.
Now I have to save up for the HotWires on Udo Putzke's website for some 
extra muscle !

Hello Dan,

 and welcome to the list.

Before you buy one, make sure you get advice from the list - there is
incredible help out there..

I did the mistake of buying before joining the list, and I paid for it :-)

Are you looking for a car for restoration or a restored one?

Best of luck,

PS. BTW, before anyone says it, it's a 100 you are looking for not a 100 4

John,
 
Here are pictures of a Healey Blue BJ7 we restored. These were taken as the
car was being carefully dismantled. Those brackets were black and were
fastened there with zinc screws. You might wish to note also the welded top
mounting brackets hand brushed grey to match the top bows.

Hey guys,

Well the wife decided to run away with some fat biker guy (honest). So now 
I'm in the middle of a divorce. In filling out the financial forms, I need 
to determine my car's value. For my purposes a lower value is better.

I drive a 64 BJ8 driver. The car is mostly sound and runs very well. It 
looks good from 20 or 30 feet. The body paint is all cracked and damaged. 
There's a lot of bondo all over. Chrome is pitted. Trunk floor has some rot. 
Interior is servicable but needs to be completely restored. So when you get 
close you can see it needs a full body restoration.

What do you think it will appraise for?

Thanks,
Dave

I know this will be an odd question, but does anyone have a good, high resolution image of the bakelite trafficator that has lost its black color? I have my "after" shot, but did not keep a "before." Can anyone help?

I would recommend selling the car to a trusted healey friend for a low
price, settle the fat biker divorce, then buy the car back after.
Hand write an option to buy it back at the same price later just in
case.

Now we are waiting for the Marque to catch up to 'high tech wrappers'.....to
avoid damage and replacements for those who wish to keep their copies

Hi Dave,
Sorry, but we can only pay you $1,500 for such a rough example that needs all
that rust, paint, mechnaical, electrical, interior work that you so carefully
listed ......
And if you find anything else, it will be only $1,000
It is over 40 years old and should be off the road by now.

I think you should make a list of everything, and I mean everything, that's
wrong with it and get estimates for all of the work from someone competent
(and expensive) and keep it in a binder. Then when old fat ass and her biker
stud show up in court touting some stratospheric auction results you can open
your folder and show the judge how much it will take to make your car worth
that much... Show them it will cost more to restore than it's worth to her and
she will probably lose interest.

Good luck.

Bill--

The old saying that 'truth is one of the first casualties of war' holds true
for divorce as well.

Dave did NOT accuse his wife of having a fat ass but rather said that she
has run off with a fat-assed biker.  There is a difference....

*"Then when old fat ass and her biker  stud show up in court touting some
stratospheric auction results" **
*
----------------------------
Dave--

Having been through one divorce I feel for you but if it gives you any
solace whenever I encounter my first ex I come away with the feeling that
the divorce was one of the best investments I have ever made.

In the recent posts the idea of spray on chrome was discussed. I have a 2 inch
clock on a drop down gauge holder with a matte grey bezel that doesn't match
the chrome rings on all the other instruments. The bezel cannot be removed
from the clock as it is part of the case. How would the spray on stuff match
the real chrome? What brands seem to be the best?

It may be cheaper to replace the clock with a genuine SMITHS item (52mm) 
with a matching bezel.
See some examples in the attachment.

Umm this is incorrect in several ways.
House rebuilding costs don't depreciate they go up. I think you are confusing
the concept of coinsurance with ACV.
I'm at work so I don't have time for a deeper explanation now but I will be
happy to fill you in later.

Ummm... sorry Bob, not exactly.
Sometimes a little information can be dangerous. Note, I am a licensed Fire
and Casualty Independent Agent in California. The following applies to
California but the carriers pretty much standardize their policies and
concepts throughout the country.
*See your agent for your specific circumstance and know your policy
provisions!*
*
*
Ok, maybe I can illuminate a bit:

* Assuming a total loss like a catastrophic fire - if your home is insured
for $400k and you have a total loss, y*ou get $400k, less any applicable
deductible*. Often in a fire the deductible is waived.You may be required to
re-build to avail yourself of the full $400k.  You can always negotiate a
"walk away" settlement with your carrier.

* Earthquake policies are a separate rider. They are insanely expensive (in
Calif. at least) and deductibles can run anywhere from 10-20% of the face
value of the policy and are usually a very bad deal.

* In the case of an *uncovered* earthquake event, many HO policies do not
cover the home or contents lost.
You are on your own! If the house burns down as a result of the earthquake -
your fire coverage kicks in and all's well.

* If after a catastrophic loss, you decide to re-build the home, you get the
face value of the policy (which is usually a pre-determined or negotiated
amount and always specified in the policy summary, *not the appraised value
or depreciated value*)  and sometimes more (sometimes up to 100%) to cover
code upgrades, etc. This is spelled out in your policy summary and these
coverages vary widely by carrier, policy and State.

* Assuming a total loss - If you lose all possessions in the home, and they
are not covered by specific riders (like art, jewelery, musical
instruments), you get whatever "contents" coverage was specified in your
policy - less any deductibles. This is usually a variable percentage of the
face value and is specified in the policy summary. *However*....  for
contents reimbursement, you "*may*" be required by your insurance company to
re-purchase the items to receive their *full retail value* (very few people
replace everything lost, thus they come up short on insurance
reimbursement). Otherwise, you may be reimbursed for only the *depreciated
value* of the items. You always want full retail-value replacement coverage.

Hope this helps..
Best,
Randy

I agree with Peter Caldwell that the part number for the outer bearing race
is 11910 (LM11910).   This may be an original Timken number, but I've found
that SKF bearings also use LM11910 for the outer race.

Don't think this really pertains to Healeys but the MGA and MGBs have brake
caliper pistons
with a cut out on the open lip of the pistons.   I am changing over my MGA
pistons to
MGB pistons (much cheaper) and need to know which direction the piston cut
out
should go.  Here is the rub.    The B manual says "cutout towards the hub" and
the A manual
says "facing downward".   Since I am mixing parts here I am all
discombobulated.

Which way should the cut out go and what frigin difference does it make,
there's nothing
inside the piston thats going to leak out?  )

Anyone?     Mark

The cutout is designed to alleviate pad squeal. Its efficacy is 
questionable, but if you have the cutout, it should be facing into 
the rotor rotation, so downward and toward the hub for a rear mounted caliper.

Are you actually telling us that in the relaxed and NON-EMERGENCY 
situation you are in Mark, you are with malice & forethought going to 
"play" with a *SAFETY* item ??

If *BRAKE* caliper pistons are *SO* expensive for you, then IMNSHO it IS 
time to SELL the car.

Normally when someone does something like that and the "alteration" is 
only something that could effect the Owner, I say
"hope your hospitalization/funeral  policies are good & will cover
you in case of a violation discovery.".  In this case, you could very 
will effect the LIVES of yourself AND others.  *

I recently purchased Timken front wheel bearings and cups from 
Applied Industrial Technologies. They are a nationwide distributor 
and they had the bearings in stock except one of the bearings was 
slightly different than the one specified for a 3000 MKII. The 
difference had to do with the radius on the outer bearing where it 
contacted the flat washer; I don't think this makes any difference.

I don't know which part number is which, and they maybe Applied part 
numbers, but they are:

TIMK 07087 (I think this is the outer cup $27.69 each)
TIMK 07196 (inner cup? 10.43 each)
TIMK LM67048 ($15.13 each)
TIMK LM67010 ($7.33 each)

(408) 436-5464 San Jose, California (I think I dealt with Nancy - 
very helpful women!)

Pssst, Ed Orr, somehow you typed 3000 Mk11, where in fact you have a 3000 MK
3 Series 2 BJ8. There is a difference.

Hello,

I need to buy headlamp light units (European) for my BN2. My priorities are:
 - non-sealed beam
 - good quality (with good light output)
 - original (Lucas?)
 - preferably accepting H4 (round base or prong fit)

Can anyone make a recommendation?


I have taken a look at Lucas documentation for 100 & 100/6 and here is what
I found:

100
Headlamp    Lens                     Bulb
51337B/D/E 555447 (round LUCAS sign) 355 (E Transverse, L.H. drive 42/36W)
51339A/B/H 553940 (rect. LUCAS sign) 370 (F Transverse and hooded axial,
duplo 45/40W)

100/6
51966B/E   555447 (round LUCAS sign) 355
51959A/E   553948	(rect. LUCAS sign)  --

Yes Ed,  be quiet,  your typing too loud.   Both MG gurus, Twist and Barney
confirm this mod.
You definely have a brake mod issue Mr ED.   You always get
your panties in a 
bind when
someone mentions "brake calipers".    Being a
"Brit car shop"  I would have 
thought you'd have 

been using this mod long
ago.  SS MGB pistons are grrrrrrrreat.

beam
- good quality (with good light output)
- original (Lucas?)
- preferably
accepting H4 (round base or prong fit)

Can anyone make a recommendation?


I
have taken a look at Lucas documentation for 100 & 100/6 and here is what
I
found:

100
Headlamp    Lens                     Bulb
51337B/D/E 555447 (round
LUCAS sign) 355 (E Transverse, L.H. drive 42/36W)
51339A/B/H 553940 (rect.
LUCAS sign) 370 (F Transverse and hooded axial,
duplo 45/40W)

100/6
51966B/E
555447 (round LUCAS sign) 355
51959A/E   553948    (rect. LUCAS sign)  --
58290A     556452 (rect. LUCAS sign, above centre) 410 (C Unified, 3 lug,
Duplo 'D' assymetric type 45/40W)

Thanks Peter.   But you can't have it both ways.   It has to be either down or
toward the hub.
The manuals have pictures of both.

Maybe it really doesn't
matter.

The cutout is designed to alleviate pad
squeal. Its efficacy is 
questionable, but if you have the cutout, it should
be facing into 
the rotor rotation, so downward and toward the hub for a rear
mounted caliper.

Hella or Cibie Halogen units fit as a straight replacement with genuine 
H4 bulbs instead of the adaptions used for old style double filament 
bulbs. If you use relays and heavier wiring to the lamps you can fit 
80/100w bulbs.
80W for main beam, 100W for dipped beam.
The Hella units have a rather flat lens, the Cibie is more curved and 
looks more like a Lucas unit. In my opinion the Hella has the better 
light pattern.
I have fitted Hella lights with 80/100W for donkeys years,  in a Triumph 
Spitfire, Landrover, Mini and Jensen Healey's without any bother.

Definitely, Ed. On our race cars we pull off all the MGA front suspension
stuff from the A-arm pivots outward and replace them with the improved and
much safer MGB hardware. Now of course, I wouldn't do that with a Healey, but
I don't drive my Healey at 6,000 rpm in fourth gear.

As far as I know these so called H4 bulbs are illegal as they are the H4 
bulb fitted on an old style base. The dimensions are not correct which 
can lead to an incorrect light pattern. They are not certified/homologated

advice and all the info is much appreciated.

It will certainly make for a more organised trip.

I have a set of Ciebe lamps and H4 bulbs, I have been sitting on for 30
years, and they are going into my car after I complete the rewire project in
a couple of weeks. There are many modern lamps on cars that are blinding to
look at in low beam, so I can't see how my H4s will cause a problem.....

Tadek,

I put Wipak Quadoptics in my BN2 when I brought it back to UK. You can
get them 
either left or right handed. I got them from www.s-v-c.co.uk. These
units take 
the H4 halogen bulbs. They don't look all that original because
the lens is 
flatter than the originals, but I like them for the modern light
output. I also 
bought the option of the integral side (parking) lamp. With a
little rewiring, 
and yellow bulbs in the existing sidelights, I now have
yellow front direction 
indicators, with the parking lights in the headlamps.
This is of course easily 
reversable for future sale.

Peter is, of course, totally correct.  The MGA disc brakes were very 
early in disc brake design and they thought that the pistons had to be 
spring loaded like a drum brake to return them to the original 
position.  This was not the case and actually it is a mildly unsafe 
design because there is a lag in braking to make up that extra distance 
that the piston must travel.  Some have found that they need to pump the 
brakes quickly to make them as effective as they should be.  Using MGA 
pistons, therefore is not only more expensive, but less safe.
I have MGA disc brakes on my TD with MGB pistons in them and the car is 
very much safer than with the original drum brakes up front.
I think that I put the cutout toward the hub.

Bill--


The old saying that 'truth is one of the first casualties of war' holds true
for divorce as well.


Dave did NOT accuse his wife of having a fat ass but rather said that she has
run off with a fat-assed biker.  There is a difference....

"Then when old fat ass and her biker  stud show up in court touting some
stratospheric auction results" 


----------------------------
Dave--


Having been through one divorce I feel for you but if it gives you any solace
whenever I encounter my first ex I come away with the feeling that the divorce
was one of the best investments I have ever made.  


Best--Michael Oritt

The Cibie lamps are fitted with the correct H4 lamps, not the H4 
lookalikes on old fashioned bases, so they will have the correct pattern 
and will not be blinding for oncoming traffic, even with (road illegal)

Mike, Kees, Ira and others, Many thanks for all comments. I will try to sum
it up in a short while.


Before I make a decision to go for originality or for best lens I have one
more question to the Concourse gurus - what is 'approved' for a BN2? 

The guidelines are fairly liberal, stating "(...) any period U.S. headlamp
or Lucas headlamp will be acceptable (...)"
So, if this were a BN2 picked up by a US citizen in Europe, what would be
the right headlamp?

Tadek,
 
I can only speak for the policies and Guidelines we have developed for the
National Concours Registry here in North America. First you would have to
state to the judges that the car was built to for example "Canadian
Specification, or U.S. Specification, or West German Specification, etc.
Then the car would be evaluated against those specs.
 
There are quite a few examples in the Hundred Registry I'm maintaining where
a U.S. service man picking up a car in Dusseldorf through his PX program,
the car would usually have been made for the market it's destined for...in
that example, the car would be made to U.S. specification. Of course there
were exceptions, and that makes the possibilities endless.
To answer your last question, the U.S. market had the U.S. dealer install
standard spec. sealed beams before delivering to the customer because the
bulb type wasn't allowed. In Canada, however, the standard lamp fitted right
at Longbridge would be the RH dipping bulb type 700 series lamp and
reflector, at least up till mid 1961 when they went to sealed beams.
Years ago I went part way between with my BN2. I fitted a pair of Lucas
lemans RH dip reflectors with an uprated wattage hi and lo beam Lucas bulb.
The resulting light wasn't quite that of a halogen, but almost as good.

It would be the Lucas unit for the Tungsten dual filament or duplo bulb, 
45/40W, P45t fitting. You can fit adapted H4 halogen bulbs with this 
fitting in them but these bulbs are not homologated and thus illegal. 
They may give the wrong pattern as the filaments are not in the same 
place as in the old type bulbs and cause glare.

However it is wise to fit units that are designed for the proper and 
homologated H4 (60/55W) halogen lamps with the P43t fitting as standard 
on most cars until about1995 and still used by many today. They give a 
much improved vision. They provide a sharp cut off to prevent glare for 
oncoming trafic, much better than the later (and much more expensive 
lights with H7 bulbs or even more so Xenon gas discharge lights), and 
are easier to adjust as well.

I just looked over the so called "'53" that Gullwing has for sale. 

A '53 should still have the 2 pc. dash, this one is later. 
Any sidescreens of any sort?
Panel work in the area of the rocker panels looks scary to me.
Interior is very poor. Some cheap kit that somebody didn't know how to
install, seats are awful. 
Boot trimming is a piece of carpet.
None of the colours are right. 
4 Speed gearbox?? That's a 3 speed cover, so maybe the blanking plate for
1st has been removed, or more likely the person who did the wording doesn't
really know?
And the rest??? Who knows.

The Astoria in  NY is about 30 miles from the nearest NJ point and in no way
can be confused as being in New Jersey. There is also an Astoria in Oregon
and there are Astorias in several other states as well thus my question.

Engine bay looks scary..
Someone stole the rear view mirror..
And the roof is missing.

No, I do not think this is the car you want to buy. (there are at least 30
other reasons not to buy it..)


But it does have the original turn a dot fasteners I am looking for!! And
the original oil flex pipe!

There is a '56 on ebay though that looks more decent, but it will probably

I want to know how they expect to drive this car.....There isnt a gas  
tank in the car.

Then there is the 2" gap between the the bottom of the windshield and  
the shroud.

And the list goes on and on and on.

Google "Gullwing Motors" and you can see pictures of it. Looks nice for only $34k.

Is there anyone in the Astoria area that could check this out at
Gullwing for $34, 750 in "good" conditiion?  I went down once [4 hrs
each way] for one in " excellent " condition and it would hardly get
around the block with a sticking valve, doors that were noticeably
sagging, some frame welding, altogether disappointing. The photos of
course look good.  Maybe it would save me a trip. As a novice I am
trying to acquaint myself with as many as possible as advised by members.
I know this is asking a lot.

thanks to all,  Dan

John,
Gullwing is in NYC, presumably Astoria, Queens and advertise all over 
the place to buy cars.  It could be that someone on Long Island has a 
better shot than someone in New Jersey to help him out.  But it sounds 
like from Rich's comments that the car is a p.o.s.
Charlie
PS Daniel, have you checked the various club's websites to see if they 
have anything in their classifieds?  That would be AHCA, AHUSA, and 
AHSTC.  Even the local clubs may have something advertised.  You say
that it was a good drive for you to go to Astoria, but didn't sat where 
you are.  You went down, so are you in New England?  There is a very 
large local club, part of AHCA, in New England, so it may be worthwhile 
to join that club and ask around.

Thanks to all for their responses on my divorce question. Some were useful,

I may be taking up an offer for an appraisal shortly. I am meeting with my

Wowsers, though certainly not perfect, and probably overpriced (maybe way), 
I was expecting FrnakenHealey from the various descriptions of this car. 
The windshield thing is certainly weird, there is no rubber seal that I can 
tell, maybe it is not seated into the base right? Don't know what would have 
to happen to get it so far off.

It looks to have the right motor, transmission, most of the trim.  The paint 
shines, the chrome shines, the panels seem to go together pretty well, if it 
runs and the underneath is solid I don't know if it is a "run away" car, the 
details can be sorted, or not ,if you don't give a big hoot about the 
details but love the classic lines of the car, and the great sound of the 
motor, that is more important than that the bonnet return spring is mounted 
wrong is it not?  if you are looking for a Healey to enjoy and drive, not 
everyone can afford, and maybe do not even want perfection.

I am not knocking the concours and originality guys, but there are more than 
one way to own and enjoy.

When I had my Hundred it was far from perfect, I did a lot of work on it to 
improve it, but in the rough and alsmost ready condition I bought it in I 
was proud to own it, take it to shows etc. because it was the real deal 
(maybe it is easier for us guys who live where the cars are few and far 
between, didn't have many nice ones to compare it to, so it got lots of 
attention and compliments from the LBC crowd as it was).

I can agree with Mike here in most of what he says. The most disturbing
thing to me about the car is the rocker panels and lower edges that scream
to me that it likely needs inner sills, the ends of the outriggers,
certainly the bottom 6 inches of all body panels all around, bottoms of door
shut pillars and possibly bottoms of hinge pillars. 
I would never want to lay out the asking price and then be faced with
starting to rectify all that, paint redo because of metal repairs, etc. plus
all the interior and soft trim, plus, plus. 
For what that car likely needs, I would want to start with under 20K
invested in it, then take it from there.

Wowsers, though certainly not perfect, and probably overpriced (maybe way), 
I was expecting FrnakenHealey from the various descriptions of this car. 
The windshield thing is certainly weird, there is no rubber seal that I can 
tell, maybe it is not seated into the base right? Don't know what would have

to happen to get it so far off.

It looks to have the right motor, transmission, most of the trim.  The paint

shines, the chrome shines, the panels seem to go together pretty well, if it

runs and the underneath is solid I don't know if it is a "run away" car, the

details can be sorted, or not ,if you don't give a big hoot about the 
details but love the classic lines of the car, and the great sound of the 
motor, that is more important than that the bonnet return spring is mounted 
wrong is it not?  if you are looking for a Healey to enjoy and drive, not 
everyone can afford, and maybe do not even want perfection.

I am not knocking the concours and originality guys, but there are more than

one way to own and enjoy.

When I had my Hundred it was far from perfect, I did a lot of work on it to 
improve it, but in the rough and alsmost ready condition I bought it in I 
was proud to own it, take it to shows etc. because it was the real deal 
(maybe it is easier for us guys who live where the cars are few and far 
between, didn't have many nice ones to compare it to, so it got lots of 
attention and compliments from the LBC crowd as it was).

Subject: [Healeys] BT7 windscreen frame
Message-ID: <000301cbe460$90e8f290$b2bad7b0$@net.au>

On my last drive, with the soft top up, without the side screens, the top
frame was lifting up away from the glass. At one stage there was approx 1mm
of gap between the top of screen and bottom of frame in the centre. 

I had thought of running a stainless steel threaded rod from the centre of
the top frame to dashboard (as MGB??)

The top is a Robbins which I have had for about 5 years. The front timber
frame is the original from the car as is the aluminium clip over frame.

Could the cover be too tight a fit?

Any suggestions appreciated

Hello Tadek,
Here in Europe (UK) we are also stand to the Concours Guidelines of the
American Concours Committee, as there is nothing better.
Only we have different rules as regards the way of running a Concours
Competition. We are checking the cars in a different way and having a sort of
competition amongst the Concours entrants.
But if you like to receive more information on that and you are thinking of
joining National Concours in the UK with your car, just come back to me.
Best wishes,

Josef Eckert
National Concours Secretary

John--

I did just that on my 100.  Rather than using solid steel I used very
lightweight 1 x 19 stainless steel cable  with fittings that you can
purchase at a good marine supply and swedge on with tools they have on hand.
 I used a toggle fitting at the top and attached it in place of the buffer
plate.  The bottom end of the cable ends in a threaded terminal which I pass
through a small hole in the scuttle just behind the mirror, then tighten
everything down via a thumbscrew so that the top seals absolutely tight at
speed.

Purists need not comment.

John,

Lots of interesting feedback from others but the bottom line is that the
glass in the channel needs to actually be bonded there by the sealing
channel as it was originally. Many years ago I had a '62 BT7 with original
glass that had never been disturbed in its frame until we suffered a flying
stone that caused it to crack from top to bottom. Removing the original
glass was a devil of a job because it was literally bonded in the channel.
The replacement glass and after market sealing rubber always allowed the
condition you described until I went to a professional who reinstalled it
with a rubber strip that expands when exposed to clean oil. This locked it
all in place and the problem was solved.

Unfortunately we aren't allowed to post pictures on this list or I would put
one up.  It actually looks quite elegant--similar to the stabilizer bar that
356's and SL's had, though in their case it was to keep the windshield frame
from distorting as opposed to clamping down the header bow.  The hardest
part is drilling that one little 3/16" hole behind the mirror.....

This is a common problem. The rubber that is around the glass is not  
holding onto the frame and the force of the wind against the inside  
of the top  material is lifting the frame from the glass. We usually  
have the window installed with Urethane for both the windshield and  
the door glass on the BJs rather than the rubber that swells when  
installed.

This was the same problem that MG had with the MGB and the fix they  
had was an adjustable rod from the rear view mirror bracket down to  
the top of the dash pad.

Mark--

Unfortunately we aren't allowed to post pictures on this list or I would put
one up.  It actually looks quite elegant--similar to the stabilizer bar that
356's and SL's had, though in their case it was to keep the windshield frame
from distorting as opposed to clamping down the header bow.  The hardest
part is drilling that one little 3/16" hole behind the mirror.....

I think I misconstrued John's original post.  Apparently his problem was
with the windshield frame pulling away from the glass.  My issue was with
the front wood bow lifting away from the windshield at speed.

My apologies to the list--Michael Oritt

John,
I've had the same problem with my BT7 MKII. The cure was to install a
threaded rod as you suggest. It required a bracket installed to replace the
mirror (which is now attached tot eh rod) and a bracket attached to the
windscreen frame at the top. The rod used actually comes from a MKIV Sprite.
The MGB rods are too long. If you Like I can try to take photos.
Bob Brown

On
my last drive, with the soft top up, without the side screens, the top
frame
was lifting up away from the glass. At one stage there was approx 1mm
of gap
between the top of screen and bottom of frame in the centre. 

I had thought
of running a stainless steel threaded rod from the centre of
the top frame to
dashboard (as MGB??)

Any suggestions appreciated

Darn!  I missed it.  I wasn't paying attention to my calendar and "reminders".
I apologize to HBJ8L39031.

HBJ8L39031 turned 44 yesterday.  Conceived (built) 10-17 November 1966.
Delivered (dispatched) 16 Mar 1967.  It was a "home delivery" and spent the
first couple of years of its life in Spain which explains why it is 'left
handed'.  Complexion blue over white.  Adopted from previous parent (2nd
owner) in October, 1970, with 14,640 miles on its diapers.  Has lived with us
ever since and now has 186,282 miles recorded (and it still needs diapers!
;-)  )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,  HBJ8L39031 !

Peter,
I can`t recommend a specific location, but I would stay around Goeschenen or
Brienz to have the Susten, Grimsel and Furka passes close. You can do these in
a round trip. These are for me the most beautiful passes in Switzerland. And
there are several other beautiful passes and fantastic places around.
But late May is very early in the year and not all passes may not be open to
that time. I would go mid June the earliest.
Also don`t miss to do the Vierwaldstaetter See on the easterly lake route.
Btw: Stelvio is also nice, but I would prefer the Western part of
Switzerland.

John,

Lots of interesting feedback from others but the bottom line is that the
glass in the channel needs to actually be bonded there by the sealing
channel as it was originally. Many years ago I had a '62 BT7 with original
glass that had never been disturbed in its frame until we suffered a flying
stone that caused it to crack from top to bottom. Removing the original
glass was a devil of a job because it was literally bonded in the channel.
The replacement glass and after market sealing rubber always allowed the
condition you described until I went to a professional who reinstalled it
with a rubber strip that expands when exposed to clean oil. This locked it
all in place and the problem was solved.

Come on, Ed, uh, I mean Anon:  You sorry for anything you say?  That will be 
the day.  <VBG&W>

Anyway, this *lady* (who ruled that automobiles were female?) is proud of 
her age and not ashamed to flaunt her beauty.  In almost every encounter 
with admirerers, the first question asked is, "How old is she?".  She has 
never bitten me and dumped me on the side of the road.  We have always 
driven home together with only minor squirmishes.

I never named my Healey.  My wife did, however.  She is my first and only 
wife yet she calls the car "The First Mrs. Hartnett".  She is convinced that 
if I could get the car into the living room, that is where I would park it.

After acquiring the Healey in 1970, Marge participated in most of the 
activities that I did - rallies, tours, shows, meets, etc.  Then, in 1983, 
she decided that she was no longer interested in hearing about engines, cam 
shafts, carburetors, distributors, etc., etc.  It became a running joke in 
the Club for all those that had never met her that I was probably not 
married at all and she became known as 'The Fictitious Mrs. Hartnett'.  She 
had not even ridden in the car since 1983 until last year when her car had 
to go to the shop.  After two trips to the shop, she was more convinced than 
ever that the Healey was not for her.  In a way, that is good.  There is 
never any argument about who will drive the Healey today.

Love the car (for 41 years).  Love the wife (for 58 years come June).

Let's see, now.  The garage is just on the other side of that living room 
wall.  If we moved the sofa..........

My soft top has been off the car for a couple of years since I installed a
hardtop.  However I am going to take the HT off in a week or so to enjoy
some of Maryland's beautiful spring weather and will send a few pictures to
John Sims who has offereed to host it on its site.

Gentlemen,

 Is anyone familiar with an all aluminum aftermarket hardtop for a BN6 (I
think) ? Just got it today, rescued from the crusher..

Rear glass and a head liner.. I think it may be missing the windshield frame
hardware or at least some of it?? I've never seen one like this.

Its very well made and I'll take some pictures as soon as I can.

Dave

https://picasaweb.google.com/porterscustombicycles/2011_03_18#
<https://picasaweb.google.com/porterscustombicycles/2011_03_18> 

 It has some surface scratches and a tiny <dime size dent in the top. The
liner is serviceable but has a couple small cuts. I'm just unclear how it
adapts to the windshield frame. It has 2 pins and the rear has 2 brackets
that receive bolts.

The sides have the typical pin into the top frame holes. Hell it may not
even be for a healey but the base shape and window opening scream Healey..

 I'll measure it and see if that tells me anything..

Not a bugeye, the side panel would have to be flat along the bottom.  I'm
thinking E-Type Jag.

This probably is the same configuration I have on my BT7. The shop that did the work told me that he probaby used an XKE rod when I had a problem. I found a SPrite rod that fit so I used it as a replacement.

Keep it. The next owner will appreciate it the numbers match and that will
increase the value to the buyer. I'd hate to see them parted. I personally
would not buy a car with a Smitty trans with out the original to restore to
factory condition. That does not mean I would not enjoy driving with a
Smitty.

This 100S was offered on ebay in Nov 05 and again Dec 05 when it was said to
be situated in Warwick (USA) and the other time in Southern New England,
once with a starting bid of USD 10,000, the other time GBP 10.000.

At both auctions the reserve was not met, once with bids climbing to USD
187,566.99 and at the other auction to GBP 99.300.

Good question.
I'd say in the case of of AHCUSA--Rendezvous-- it's because the date  
and venue are selected by the individual hosting clubs (BC, Cascade,  
Oregon, Golden Gate, San Diego, sometimes LA, Bonneville and Denver,  
based on how the dates work best in their activity calendars and when  
they are able to schedule a desirable venue.
In other words, for AHCUSA at least, date selections are individual  
club decisions made without knowledge of AHCAmerica's plans rather  
than decisions made by a national organization.
I agree it would be nice if we could spread these meetings out.

For me the timing works well this year since the meets are a week apart and 
relatively close together.  I'm planning on going to both - all on the same 
trip.  I wouldn't be coming to Conclave this year if it was to be held 
anywhere on the eastern seaboard.  I'll probably leave Vancouver WA a day 
early in order to ease the drive to Colorado Springs.

Anyone else?

John,

I've never thought of washing my parts in the washing machine, but I
don't think 
SWWBO would appreciate it.

Maybe it was the "left it in my pocket" accidental wash.  I have also heard 
ugly rumors that they might not like accelerating the drying of glue and 
paint by baking at low temps in the oven, or using the dishwasher as a parts 
washer, but I am sure my dear sweet understanding significant other would 
not mind at all (if she were ever to find out that such I think might have 
happened while she was gone for the day).

The washing machine may not be very suitable, but the dishwasher is 
perfect for the purpose. I am lucky SWMBO is still working so I have 
plenty of time to make use of it.

Guys guys guys

Run for an office in one of the clubs, become an officer, then you will be
able to put your own spin on these meets.

Until then let the volunteer folks YOU voted into office manage these meets.
Rendezvous has always been scheduled for this general timeframe.

Warm Regards,

Noting that was produced in 2002, and suppposed to be in production by 
2010. Best laid plans???
In any case, drive by wire and multi-use chassis are still   concepts of 
the future, though everything except steering is now done by wire on most new 
cars. Fuel cells, on the other hand, are a reality. Mercedes-Benz is 
delivering 100 to customers in California this year. I drove one from New Orleans 
to San Antonio, as part of their 125-day around-the-world tour. The only 
problems are that we don't yet have a good way to produce the electricity needed 
to produce the hydrogen (or recharge our electric cars for that matter) 
especially since atomic energy is now off the table for another 20 years, and 
the power grids and gas station networks that we need to break free of 
gasoline are years in the future, even if we started building them today.

The answer is simple "Lack of Communications".  This has been  
happening now for about the last 6 years. The reason that the dates  
usually picked around late June was originally alot of the attendees  
had kids or were teachers in school and that is when they were out.  
Now I don't think that is as much of an issue. The next more  
important reason for the timing is the COST. If you stay in the month  
of June usually the cost is much less than if you get into July and  
August. In the meets that I have been involved in the difference in  
cost is usually about 20% more.

Then comes the 2012 meet as well that should have been the 60th  
anniversary International Meet which would have been a joint meet  
between both clubs, not happening.  Now what do we have AHCUSA having  
their meet in Canada and AHCA having their meet in Kentucky and both  
will probably call them the 60th anniversary meet. I hope that this  
don't mean an end to these national meets in the US.

This is one more reason the I think there should only be one National  
US Club. They could have several large regional meets and then one  
large meet every 5 years and come together. The meets could be spread  
out from April to September and then you may have to opportunity to  
attend meets in other regions. If you look at the calendar right now  
you have this happening all across the US.

Yes I know this has been brought up many times before in the past and  
it always turns into a big argument between the two national club  
boards but someday this is inevitable that it is going to happen.

Hi Earl,
The timing works great for me too.  I'll attend Rendezvous Monday-Thursday
(June 27-30) and spend Friday-Sunday (July 1-3) driving to Colorado Springs,
arriving on Donald Healey's birthday for the Conclave welcoming reception.
John Watson of the UK's Healey Drivers Club and I will take turns at the wheel
of my BN2.

<tahoehealey at hotmail.com>, "Healey List"<healeys at autox.team.net>For me the
timing works well this year since the meets are a week apart and relatively
close together. I'm planning on going to both - all on the same trip. I
wouldn't be coming to Conclave this year if it was to be held anywhere on the
eastern seaboard. I'll probably leave Vancouver WA a day early in order to
ease the drive to Colorado Springs.Anyone else?Earl KagnaVictoria, B.C.BJ8,

Gergo,
There are several, look around on eBay as every now and again they come up.
Here is a link for some from Australia.  You could also try Dennis Welch and
various other suppliers.

Ira, the manufacturer should read Wiesmann, not Weismann. A small company around the corner of my home town, producing great cars with BMW technique.

Their website is http://www.wiesmann.com/en

Enjoy!

Ease up here Ira. instead of the Friday funnies, I thought I get a jump on
that one on a monday. You certainly will not find anything on the Net about
it, as GM built only one of these cars. But since GM has had numerous recalls
over the years I thought I'd throw that one in and as far as the UAW is
concerned, I have not seen anything positive spoken from them in a long time.

Hey guys, I thought that it would be of interest to the Healyophiles among
us. I am interested in all things relating to automobiles, airplanes, ships
or anything else that  reeks of technology. Mistakenly, I thought others
would be also. Whether or not it would work is immaterial to me. Many of
DaVinci's inventions were nonsense but they interest me. Guess I will
restrict these things to my regular list of people who do not get their
shorts knotted up.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimJmqrRoZFwfb2gFaCjp+JPW79DWNmy8fkqV8UQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have just collected my engine from my machinist (rebore, crankshaft
reground, new cam bearings etc). For my greatest solace, he folloved all my
instructions, soo all the clearances are accurate (=>
hipp-hipp-hurrey!!!!!).

Now I have made some measurements with the new pistons.

I had to experience that the new reproduction pistons are quite a bit lower
than the originals! If You can remember, my engine is a "26H", soo may be
some kind of "special" engine. The original pistons came about 0.3mms *above
*the dech height. The new pistons are 1.75mms below the deck.
I am using a 12 port head (non-original to this engine, original lost). I
have counted a rough 7.6:1 CR now with my new pistons. This is *very* low.
Whats Your opinion: shall I get the block skimmed by 2mms, and get the
pistons to the "original" height, skim the head, or skim both to get a
higher CR? What numbers to go for? 9.5:1? Or higher?

The Hy-Wire is nice but Hydrogen cells can be added to any vehicle via a dry
cell or a bubbler cell. I prefer the dry cell. It supplements your fuel to
add to your MPG . I will be adding a dry cell to my Healey probably in the
fall . It should help to double fuel mileage , keep the internal engine
clean and remove all emissions from the exhaust. I have done a lot of
research on the subject and it is simple and cost effective. I will be doing
this first on a Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel where these have huge
mileage gains.

I take just the opposite viewpoint -- there should be two Austin-Healey
Clubs, one to cater for Rockies and West, and one to cater for East and
Midwest. Face it. My bet is you won't see 50 cars in Colorado Springs next
year
from anywhere east of the Mississippi. The biggest challenge to all of this is
the feeling on the part of AHCA that they should conquer the entire country,
even though it can't be served when 75 percent of the club's drivers won't
drive more than 150 miles to a meet.

If we'd just acknowledge that we should have two clubs on this huge
continent, with its great emptiness in the middle, then   we could (and we
should)
happily call the two meets in 2012 celebrations of the 50th Anniversary of
the Healey and give a welcoming reception to the 20 or so long-distance
enthusiasts who will actually drive cross-country in that year to attend the
opposite club's meet.

You tube has tons of videos on adding Hydrogen to a vehicle. I would only
use a dry cell less upkeep. People think of hydrogen cars burning water,
well they don't in this case hydrogen gas is created with voltage created
from your car which is a type of gas vapor that is 50 times lighter than
helium. I would plumb it directly into the air cleaners but if you have a
fuel injected car you would plum it into the intake . Check out the video's
some are really good and some aren't.

Something I have never understood about people wanting to disassociate water
into Hydrogen and Oxygen using the alternator in a car, and then burn it and
claim great MPG improvements.
How is this possible?
Explain please.

Also BTW Hydrogen is not 50 times lighter than Helium.  Hydrogen has an
atomic weight of 1.0079.  Helium has an atomic weight of 4.0026.  If you
want something that is 50 times heavier than Hydrogen it would be Vanadium a
metal with an atomic weight of 50.942.

Neither of yoiu are correct.  Hydrogen is roughly 2 times lighter than helium.  Comparisons of atomic masses to determine density does not hold water.  Also I fail to see why any comparison to helium is even being made.

Club affiliation is so much more than who goes to what annual national meet
and where it might be each year. The vast majority of either club's members
never have been and probably never will be attending the national meets. Of
course there's the core group like any organization that will try their best
to attend, but that might amount to less than 10%.

There are two distinct flavours in these two clubs. One strives to serve its
members by having regional chapters, a board of delegates for national
decision and policy making, support and publicity for regional and national
club events and a magazine, national insurance and web site to tie it all
together.
The other has a magazine subscription and support for their members regional
and national events.
Of course each has much more for its membership, but I'm speaking in
generalities here.

Oh, and keep in mind, they are both more international than just U.S. with a
substantial percentage of Canadians deeply involved, including hosting many
of the national events. So it ain't just, quote, "this country", unquote.

I have been trying to get my delete file up to 10,000 items so that I can
see how long it takes to delete them  all when I click on the "Empty Folder"

I wasn't trying to start a debate and nor am I any scientist. I just look at
the method of hydrogen gas like propane injection in gasoline or diesel
engines. I work off of a mechanical mind not a study it to death method.
I am also not interested in the hydrogen as a green factor in saving the
earth if I were I wouldn't be driving diesel and gas hog Harley's. I am just
trying to supplement gasoline with hydrogen to to bring down the overall
cost of pump fuel.
There are too many people in this world studying everything to death just go

Fred,
The problem with all of these videos about H2 on youtube is a little thing
called the second law of thermodynamics.  The second law is not only a good
idea, but it is the law, and it is not subject to repeal.
Simply put you cannot get more work out of a machine than you put in.  If
you did, you would have perpetual motion.  It is a commonly accepted fact
that perpetual motion is impossible.*
So you put fuel into your tank.  You burn the fuel in the engine to do
work.  You get X miles per gallon.
OK, now you add a rig in your car somewhere to dissociate water into H2 and
O2.  To do this you need electricity.  Electricity comes from your
alternator.  So now your alternator will have to work harder to generate the
necessary juice, and this puts an extra load on the engine.  This causes you
to burn more fuel so you have the electricity to dissociate the water.  You
fuel mileage is now X MPH - A (the amount of energy needed to run the
alternator flat out)  You have decreased your fuel mileage.
Nice.
But wait we are going to burn the H2, you say.  Yes you are, and H2 has less
energy in it than gasoline. (look it up)
Plus, your engine is nowhere near 100% efficient, and your alternator is not
100% efficient either.  This means that your fuel mileage will go down by
more than you will recover by burning the H2.  To pretend any different
would violate the second law of thermodynamics.
Anyway you look it you lose, or more simply put There ain't no such thing as
a free lunch.

*Interesting trivia note.  The US Patent office does not require a working
model of a proposed patent, unless it is what they judge to be a perpetual
motion machine.  In that case you have to submit a working model.  No one

you something.

This is rubbish.
To create Hydrogen you need a lot of electricity that has to be 
generated which will cost you the fuel to do so. No gains!!!!
Hydrogen is about 1/4 of the weight of Helium.

Sorry, I'm late to this discussion.
So someone has converted their Austin Healey to run on Hydrogen. Like,  
you mean Hydrogen Peroxide? Have you ever poured that shit (diluted)  
on an open wound?
Wow. Ok. 4 questions;
Does it make more power per litre than Avgas?
What main jets do I need to run on my triple webbers??
Do I need to adjust my distributor?
Will this save my girlfriend some money? I have a side exhaust, RHD  
Healey, so a drive might both blow dry her hair and peroxide it  
simultaneously!
Off to the local chemist supply place.....
This Austin Healey list is awesome!!!
;-)

P.S my girlfriend doesn't peroxide her hair. You ask her!

Hey Joe,
Hoping you have a great weekend in Melbourne.
We all know that the the last production based Healey (red car) will  
turn a few heads!!!!
Shame your blue car (1965 Paul Hawkins Sebring Healey 3000 GT) wasn't  
also there.
But I suppose you can only drive one DHMC built Healey at a time on a  
F1 parade lap....
Hey, i've got an idea.... Next year, I could drive blue car, and you  
could drive red car?
Ok. You are right ..... I've got more experience in the A series  
world. So I'll drive red car.. Ok! Done deal!
;-)
Sincerely.
Chris.

P.S. Ok if you insist. I'll drive blue car.

Interestingly, in the written proposal of merger prepared in 1993, the 
proposed name for the combined association was "Austin-Healey Clubs of North 
America." The Jaguar clubs have been, since their founding, called the "Jaguar 
Clubs of North America (JCNA)"

Richard,

Whereas you are entirely correct about the 2nd law here, there is a
serious error in that You have assumed that your cars engine is working
at 100% efficiency all ready, which as we all know isn't the case.

The fact of the matter is that there are lots of opportunities to
increase the efficiency of converting fuel to power through recycling
heat, conversion/storage and optimization of air/fuel ratios etc.  We
use these opportunities all the time in industrial applications.

In most cases your generator/alternator is generating electrical power
that doesn't get used in normal driving in your average car, it might as
well get used for something, otherwise, it's wasted.

I for one fail to see how an SU carb would use less fuel while taking in
gaseous H2, and I also fail to see how a fuel injected car would know
the difference either.  By injecting H2, I think you would get more
"bang" for the same volume of fuel and "air", but don't see how any
volume of fuel is saved.

Oh, don't skim anything.  Get the proper pistons.  Once you skim you
can't ever fix your head/block after that - it's a one way trip.

You don't want compression more than 9ish to 1, no one makes gas that
has high octane anymore.  It's no fun to have to add octane boost to
every tankful.  It's best if compression is around 8.5:1 for ease of
using modern fuels.

There are actually three Austin-Healey Clubs in the US.

The Austin-Healey Sports & Touring Club is sort of the Rodney Dangerfield of
the group (no respect).

Although, I believe you can bump the static CR if you have a 'race' (or 'hot') cam; since the dynamic CR is reduced by the greater valve overlap.

Oh, don't skim anything. Get the proper pistons. Once you skim you 
can't ever fix your head/block after that - it's a one way trip. 

You don't want compression more than 9ish to 1, no one makes gas that 
has high octane anymore. It's no fun to have to add octane boost to 
every tankful. It's best if compression is around 8.5:1 for ease of 
using modern fuels.

Seems to me, the more clubs the better; just shows how much passion--as evidenced by the contention--there is for these great cars. One club would be like 'one-party' rule in a country, no? 

Ain't no law says you can't join more than one, is there?

Hi,

I have some intresting new data based on a day of measuring.

Soo, I have dismantled a 29D engine, just to make some comparisions.
- rods are equal lenght
- pistons in the 29D engine are the same height as new pistons, soo differ
from the old pistons in the 26H engine.
- stroke is the same
- the difference is the block deck height. The 29D engine is 1.3mms lower
than the 26H block! Assuming that the 29D has a CR of 8.9:1, the 2mms taller
pistons in that "mysterious" 26H engine gives the same!

- Question one: why? As it is a "26H" aka "miscellaneous" engine, the answer
may be hidden forever. The engine has also got a nonusual camshaft with the
same lift, but greater duration than the 29D' camshaft (especialy longer on
the exhaust).
- Question two: where is that extra 1.3mm material? Unfortunatly definiatly
NOT on the deck, as the deck thickness is roughly the same as the 29D.
Somewhere below.
- Question three: wattodo? I can order special higher pistons, but they will
be aftermarket, unproven items. It means risk, if not quite high, but still
some. OR I can skim the block 2mms. OR I can skim the head. OR both. OR I
can order a special thin gasket (with 0.7mms compressed thickness) , skim
the block and the cylinder head to get the pistons were they belong.

One extra think I have uncovered today is, that the BMC 2639ccm engine
existed in low compression-form (Wolseley 6/90 for example). Theese engines
had only got 7.3:1 CR. Wich number is quite close to the one I get if I put
the new pistons in my engine.

???

BMC forever.

I'm putting a redi-sleeve over the rear axle shaft where the oil seal 
rides, and the instructions say to use a non-hardening sealant inside 
the sleeve before sliding it over the shaft. I thought of using 
Hylomar, but I thought I'd heard somewhere that people used lock-tite 
in this application.
What does the collective wisdom of the list say?

Briefly,
Wrong, right, wrong, and right.
In order
>>Whereas you are entirely correct about the 2nd law here, there is a
>>serious error in that You have assumed that your cars engine is working
>>at 100% efficiency all ready, which as we all know isn't the case.
*Ah, no go back and read what I wrote: **Plus, your engine is nowhere near
100% efficient, and your alternator is not 100% efficient either.  I never
assumed 100% efficiency*

>>The fact of the matter is that there are lots of opportunities to
>>increase the efficiency of converting fuel to power through recycling
>>heat, conversion/storage and optimization of air/fuel ratios etc.  We
>>use these opportunities all the time in industrial applications.
I agree completely.  I work on modern cars for a living, and they produce
more horsepower per cubic inch with better gas mileage than vintage cars.
 This is not done with mirrors.

>>In most cases your generator/alternator is generating electrical power
>>that doesn't get used in normal driving in your average car, it might as
>>well get used for something, otherwise, it's wasted.
A common misconception and totally completely and without a doubt 100%
wrong.  (Don't feel bad about this, I had an EE that did not understand this
either)
Basically  an alternator or generator is a demand driven device.  It only
produces enough current to A) run the car and B) recharge the battery.  On
my car I have a 180 A alternator. Assuming that my car's battery is fully
charged, my alternator will typically put out right around 15A which is what
my car requires to run.  If I turn on the headlights and blower fan that
number will go up to cover those loads (probably about 30A)  If the
alternator were to put out more amperage than is needed, first off the
voltage would skyrocket (a function of the resistance of the battery),
secondly the battery would start boiling, and lastly in about an hour the
battery would be destroyed.  Just because a alternator (or generator) is
capable of producing more power, that does not mean it produces max power
all the time, it does not.  That extra 10A requires more power to the
alternator field, which makes the alternator harder to turn, which means the
engine burns more fuel.  No free lunch.

>>I for one fail to see how an SU carb would use less fuel while taking in
>>gaseous H2, and I also fail to see how a fuel injected car would know
>>the difference either.  By injecting H2, I think you would get more
>>"bang" for the same volume of fuel and "air", but don't see how any
>>volume of fuel is saved.
I agree completely.  Now with a modern car with an oxygen sensor feedback
system, you might get a small gas savings, but you have to expend the energy
to create the H2 and O2, which isn't free.

John,

I'd make a steel drift with a pilot and use a hydraulic press to 
install.  But I have a lathe and a press.  May have to ream the ID of 
the bushing once installed.

Note that the bushing has a top and bottom.  The slanted groove doesn't 
go all the way to both edges.  The edge that doesn't have the groove is 
the bottom and goes next to the oil seal.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell

 I can now move it sideways to gain more space to work on one side then the

rebuild my carbs and re-install the exhaust system. Might move under its own

When I read this post I was reminded of the term, balkanized: to divide 
(groups, areas, etc.) into contending and usually ineffectual factions 
(from Dictionary.com).

It seems to me that the more, independent, full-scale club operations 
there are (I'm not speaking of local chapters), the less effective and 
wasteful of efforts and resources the sum total is.  To illustrate, to 
the absurd, if competition within the hobby is so desirable and 
positive, why not have actual Austin-Healey clubs for each and every 
state, and province, within each country, with each operating 
independently and producing a slick monthly periodical. That would 
certainly fit the "more is better" model suggested by the poster, but 
would likely be proven less than useful, overall.  Certainly, if nothing 
else, economies of scale should come to play somewhere in an analysis of 
club structures.

Not having been involved in the politics of the various clubs, viewing 
it from a fairly neutral perspective (I believe), it might make more 
sense to have a single umbrella organization, with regional sub-groups, 
that don't duplicate, but support, each others efforts.  Of course, if 
egos are involved, and I suppose they are, since we are all human, no 
one is likely to give up the sovereignty of their own organization.  
While I laud the individual efforts of all those who have built sweat 
equity in each of the Austin-Healey clubs, I think that some of the 
leadership may view their particular fiefdoms as indispensable entities.

So, until the cost of maintaining the existing organizational structures 
becomes obviously so much greater than the cost of changing, such as 
with some sort of unification, there may be little evolution to be expected.

I believe Hylomar works great under compression between two flat 
parts but I don't think it would make a good filler sealant which is 
what you might need in this application. Just a guess on my part though.

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110322154013.020558f8@pop.att.yahoo.com>

I am installing the wiring and noticed that the fuel pump wire is too 
short to reach the pump connection. I have a LHD BT7 with the pump on 
the right side.

The wiring diagram shows an in-line bullet connection that was used 
to extend the wire to reach the pump. My harness was spliced to 
extend the wire (it may have burned at one point because a green wire 
was spliced onto the white wire.

Would and in-line bullet connection be correct for extending the wire 
to reach the pump or should a new harness be supplied with a 
continuous wire of the correct length?

Thank you,

The wire coming out of the harness going over to the fuel pump should  
not have a connector in it originally.

G'day Steve

Hylomar is great for gaskets etc but I don't think it'd right for an 
interference fit like a Redisleeve. I used Loctite bearing fit when I 
installed one on one of my cars (can't remember which one!) By the way, if 
the sleeve isn't an interference fit (ie if it will slide easily into place) 
it's not the right size. They have a removable flange in order that you can 
drive/press them into place (or at least Speedi-sleeves do, which I assume 
are the same)

Cheers

Peter

I believe Hylomar works great under compression between two flat
parts but I don't think it would make a good filler sealant which is
what you might need in this application. Just a guess on my part though.

I did what Stephen is planning on doing to the axle stubs on my Elva Courier
which has a Morris rear axle (same as Spridget only 4" wider).
I used a non-hardening but filling gasket sealer--Hylomar would probably be
fine though I would not use Locktite.

In order to get a tight seal between the sleeve and the machined surface of
the stub any scratches and gouges should be carefully taken down and the
expanding sleeve will make up for this and at the same time provide a new
smooth surface on which the seal will ride.

The sleeves work fine and I now actually have rear brakes!  It's important
to follow the instructions so that removing the inner scored portion of the
seal that forms the bell-shape can easily be done.  I destroyed one seal in
learning this--$50.00 down the drain.

I bought a complete brake pipe set from Moss on sale a few years ago--they were cunifer from Automec (where you probably 
got yours).

The set didn't come with M/C to reservoir or clutch pipes.  I ordered these separately from Automec--service was good 
and shipping was reasonable.  They might sell you just the pipe.   I haven't seen cunifer anywhere in the States 
(besides Moss).

John, 

Signal light rubber boots that are too stiff could cause problems when
installing the glass lens and the chrome locking ring. You'd have to be very
careful not to have the installation tool slip and hit paint.

Are the hard boots good; have people experience any problems with

I'm putting a redi-sleeve over the rear axle shaft where the oil seal

If that is the same as Copper/ Nickel,  then  Automec ?  should be able to 
help you.  I purchased
mine through Moss.   This kit was a breeze to work with. Very user friendly 
and forgiving as hell.
Hope it stops my car.  They should be able to supply on a piece by piece 
bases.

We use a lot of it. The Fedhill folks... great people by the way, 
have the same stuff as the Automec stuff.  Great catalog to have

One attempt is to get greater MPG of GASOLINE. By using a  
supplementary energy source (hybrid), the car will use less EXPENSIVE  
GASOLINE.
No one is claiming a perpetual motion machine, just a reduction in the  
imported, expensive gasoline.

SUre one could work out the math and show that the breakeven point  
makes the ROI negligible. Though I'm all for reducing the demand for  
foreign oil.

If you generate the hydrogen through the alternator/dynamo you will burn 
more petrol than before as the process is by no means 100% let alone 
more than 100%.

It depends on which Concours value standard you are using.  Is it the
"I'm getting divorced" value standard or "I'm insuring for replacement
cost" value standard?  Note these standards are inversely
proportional.

I believe an original MKII hand brake was nickel, not chrome.

Are people using the new chromed ones or re-chroming an original or 
are they nickle coating them to original specs?

Thank you,

Ah, well, if you aren't getting a divorce, and you want to stay  
married, then there are two prices. One is the price you actually pay,  
and the other is the 'wife discount price'. Typically, wife discount  
can be 40% - 90% from actual price, depending on her perceived value  
of the Healey related item.....
;-)
Try the eBay archives for recent sales of something similar.

John handbrake handle was chromed.....but it seems only the grab portion was
highly polished, the rest was not so bright.

Bob,


I am familiar with the term 'balkanized.'  It seems to be a new favorite of
the marketing types, joining perennial favorites 'paradigm shift' and
'win-win.'  It must have been Word of the Day in USA Today recently.

Anyway, I have carefully considered your argument and concluded you are
entirely correct.  In fact, your argument is so compelling and persuasive I
believe it must be applied across-the-board.  There is simply no need for all
the contentious and redundant city, county, state and national governments.
It would make so much more sense to have only one central government.  It
would be called the 'World Tranquility Federation'--'WTF' for short--to
reflect the peace and harmony that will be brought about once we all cease to
(occasionally) disagree and go our own ways.  The obvious choice for the
capitol of the new government is Beijing, since we all know how good the
Chinese are at acquiring, hoarding and allocating resources.  Plus, they
already have 'debalkanization' down (except for that Taiwan nuisance, which
will be dealt with forthwith).  We will all start our days with a Pledge of
Allegiance to WTF.

We will, of course, have no need for more than one religion.  Our beliefs will
be given to us by the representatives of the WTF, the Scions of Brotherhood
(SOBs).  Also, there will be no need for such a variety of sports and teams
(although I haven't figured out how this will work with only one
'basefoothockaball' team).

We can see this happening already in our telecommunications industry, where
the customers of T-Mobile are ecstatic over their debalkanization into
AT&T--good ol' Ma Bell--because free choice and competition is just so messy
(and hurts profits).

If you choose to go your own rebellious ways your mandatory daily dose of
Prozac will be increased.  If you still fail to conform you will be exiled
to--where else?--the Balkans.

I'm in the process of revisiting the documentary I made back in 1993
entitled "Just In Time. the rediscovery of a Healey Special Test Car". Many
copies of that video were sold over the years.  The video was the automotive
archeological dig of Fred Hunter's 100-S, which proved to have been hiding a
previous identity underneath. It was shot with consumer hi-8 cameras in
August of 1992 (Roger Menadue) and Feb, 1993 (Geoff Healey) at Fourintune.

 

As I re-edit this, there wlll be a number of new scenes and outtakes that
weren't in the original.

 

Here's Geoff Healey describing oil usage.

When I have the project finished, I'll post something and the video will be
available for sale once again, $20 US vial Paypal. In the meantime, I'll
continue to post some small clips.

Jeez, I am starting to getting a funky seventies love and peace vibe going 
after reading all this stuff about one club:

"Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one"

Best piece of political satire (at least I hope it's satire) I've read in

The last (energy independence) is easy... we'll just hook up all of our
alternators/generators in parallel and create one big hydrogen cloud to fuel
our Healeys...

I think these are all made by Autosparks in the UK.  Even 20 years ago
when I got my BJ8 harness, the wire was too short.

At some point they moved the fuel pump to the right hand side for
safety reasons.  Also, doing this eliminated vapor lock problems on
hot days.  The harness makers never updated their patterns for this,
for some reason.

I moved mine over to the right and used a bj bracket when  I put my car back 
together.    I should have a few pics some where if  you need a "look see."

I don't remember having to add any extra wire.

I can't resist this story, especially after Ed's comment.

I friend of mine thought he was living a life of domestic tranquility One
day he was having dinner with his wife when the doorbell rang. It was the
Sherif's deputy with a divorce notice.

This would be a good place for a sexist comment, but I'll spare you that.

Hello
May it would be a better idea, if you are ready, to put it on a CD instead

The problem with putting it on CD is that CD's don't have the  capacity to 
hold as much information. With today's editing equipment, you can  make a 
DVD version in PAL for the European, Australian and other markets as well  as 
NTSC DVD's and all is well. 
    I say the more videos we have out there the better  and I look forward 
to "Just in Time" being released. It will give us all  something more to 
share with the folks who just love to hear about our Healey  obsession. Well at 
least it will entertain us. 
    Keep us updated!

setting the mark on the crank wheel to Top Dead Centre (TDC) includes the 6
degrees advance or not I also would like to know how to ensure that the

but not  cylinders 3 or 4 which are sparking but not firing.

the notice), but in hopes that this doesn't set off any cranky types, here's a

If the link doesn't work, try a search for the item number (150581720016) on
eBay.
I'll be selling more interesting items as I reduce the collection over the

Message-ID: <AANLkTinrQJHvVhov4-s6wg+9YmREa+E3PB8rS5T7-QBV@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I have some problems with engine color.
I have an early BN4, built around 1957dec/1958 jan. This is the factory
moving time.
The engine I have bought my car with was a 29D, non-original. It was painted
healey-green with the gearbox. But two parts, the starter and - maybe - the
clutch cylinder (hardly any paint left on it) was BMC green. Maybe they came
from another car of the period, OR they came from my original 2.6 engine. If
soo, I feel it would be better to paint the engine this color. Unfortunaltly
as Heritage Cert is not available for my car, I cannot be sure what code the
negine had (1C or 26C) also no info on the original fitted cylinder head.
Body number is 52381.
Which green would be better to use to be correct?

Anyone planning on attending Import Carlisle and driving their Healey, 
please preregister before April 18 and your windshield ticket will be 
sent in the mail to you.  That way you do not need to wait in line to 
pick up your packet at the gate.
Also, use the drop down menu and select The Austin-Healey Sports and 
Touring Club for the club to register under.  That will allow the club 
to get a free tent next year if 25 preregistrations are received this 
year.  Then park by the tent, introduce yourself, hang out, and enjoy a 
free lunch on Saturday.

Which clutch and brake master cylinders does your car have. When they  
changed cylinder head design they changed the master cylinders from  
the style with the reservoir as part of the cylinder to a seperate  
reservoir

Anyone planning on attending Import Carlisle and driving their Healey,
please preregister before April 18 and your windshield ticket will be
sent in the mail to you. That way you do not need to wait in line to
pick up your packet at the gate.
Also, use the drop down menu and select The Austin-Healey Sports and
Touring Club for the club to register under. That will allow the club
to get a free tent next year if 25 preregistrations are received this
year. Then park by the tent, introduce yourself, hang out, and enjoy a

The new cylinder head with detachable manifolds was in use by then. These
seemed to have come with Morris Green engine paint.

Hi,

I have some problems with engine color.
I have an early BN4, built around 1957dec/1958 jan. This is the factory
moving time.
The engine I have bought my car with was a 29D, non-original. It was painted
healey-green with the gearbox. But two parts, the starter and - maybe - the
clutch cylinder (hardly any paint left on it) was BMC green. Maybe they came
from another car of the period, OR they came from my original 2.6 engine. If
soo, I feel it would be better to paint the engine this color. Unfortunaltly
as Heritage Cert is not available for my car, I cannot be sure what code the
negine had (1C or 26C) also no info on the original fitted cylinder head.
Body number is 52381.
Which green would be better to use to be correct?

Tadek / Kees -

It was an option on A90 Atlantic Convertibles to have power windows in
1948/49, if you can believe it.  The factory used, if you can believe this,
a hydraulic ram system to move the windows up and down, and the convertible
top up and down.  Let's just say you would not want to get your fingers or
your neck stuck in there somewhere then it was in operation.

You can see how the whole thing was plumbed in these pics:

https://picasaweb.google.com/Healey.Nut/PeterSAustinA90AtlanticPrototype#

Note that I have seen that black A90 in Tadek's link around before.  It is a
highly modified A90 and not really my cup of tea.  It should not have power
windows (it's a coupe) so probably some aftermarket kit.

On the top dead center it was never my understanding that the mark was at 6 
degrees, thought it was at 0.  If 1 and 2 are firing and 3 and four have no 
spark it is probably not ignition timing, that should affect all 4 
cylinders, first guess and easiest is plug wires reversed on 3 & 4, if you 
did a rebuild and this is first start do a compression check if the wires 
aren't reversed, maybe a compression problem on 3-4? but that would be odd 
to be on both too, I think something is off in your ignition wiring from the 
problem as you describe it.

Good luck!

Stephen -

There isn't a TDC mark per se on the pulley unless someone put one
there.  Sometimes there's a dimple on the back of the pulley.

You find TDC by hollowing out a spark plug, putting it on #1, then
putting a long coat hanger type wire in the hole through the plug and
rotating the crank by hand until the wire reaches the peak position.
Once there you can then mark the pulley and timing cover with some
white-out so you can use a strobe later.

I think Kees also suggested using soap bubble water over the little
plug hole to sense TDC.

RE 34 vs 12 I suspect your car probably is just way off time....

I have checked my vin and compared to some cars with known production dates,
and it looks like my car was built in dec. 1957. It has some "Longbridge"
features (like 1 windscreen washer, early hood frame, early door seals). Soo
I think it was a built in the Longbridge plant. Am I wrong?

No,

At approximately the same time when they moved BN4 production to Abingdon in
October '57, they also introduced the later cylinder head design to
production cars. Changes included the later separate hydraulic reservoir
"can" and later style clutch and brake master cylinders, and of course the
cylinder head, separate manifolds, heat shield, twin H6 carbs, etc. These
engines for a number of months were usually painted in the dark Morris
engine green. Beyond that, the rest of the Abingdon assembled BN4's retained
the earlier Longbridge features, including the single windscreen washer jet
in the middle of the shroud, the early sliding hood frame, early door seals,
the "Longbridge" interior, except for changes that evolved in the style of
the arm rest, which became shorter as it came down the left and right sides
of the tunnel. The boot lining was still colour keyed to the interior during
this time.

Hi,

I have some problems with engine color.
I have an early BN4, built around 1957dec/1958 jan. This is the factory
moving time.
The engine I have bought my car with was a 29D, non-original. It was painted
healey-green with the gearbox. But two parts, the starter and - maybe - the
clutch cylinder (hardly any paint left on it) was BMC green. Maybe they came
from another car of the period, OR they came from my original 2.6 engine. If
soo, I feel it would be better to paint the engine this color. Unfortunaltly
as Heritage Cert is not available for my car, I cannot be sure what code the
negine had (1C or 26C) also no info on the original fitted cylinder head.
Body number is 52381.
Which green would be better to use to be correct?

Gergo

I seem to recall that it was a calendar year thing.  Jan. 1, 1968 
brought a bunch of new safety and emission regulations.  I'm not sure 
that dual circuit brakes were one of them at that time.
I have a '69 XKE that does not have dual circuit brakes.  It does have 
two brake fluid reservoirs, but not an additional set of brake lines, so 
I don't consider it dual circuit.  Foreign cars were not exempt.

I would suspect the rear carb. No fuel getting to 3 & 4 cylinder. Check the
float bowl to see if it is full of fuel. Check the jet setting. Is it set at
the same height as the front carb?
Is fuel able to flow from the float bowl thur the main jet into the carb? One
way to check is, with the float lid removed, fill the float bowl to the top
with fuel. Fuel should flow out the main jet. lift the piston & check to see
if fuel is flowing out the main jet.

I just found this book a few weeks ago at my local Borders that is going out
of business.  It is not a McQueen biography per se, but goes through his
life discussing the cars, bikes, vintage airplanes, and motorsports that
were the true passion of his rather short life.  He owned a number of
significant vehicles.

He owned a MGTC when he was a young actor in NY, but the AH 100 he owned in
1956 or '57 after he and his wife moved to California barely gets a mention
the book, even though there is a full page overhead B/W photo of him with
the car.  The first car discussed in detail is a '53 Siata 208S that he
bought in '57.

BTW, McQueen owned something even rarer than a Jag D-Type.  It was one of
the sixteen cars that was converted to an XK-SS.  He sold it and then bought
it back 12 years later and was again sold at his estate auction in 1984 for
about $148,000.  What a deal in retrospect.

The recounting of his driving the '62 Sebring production car race in a MK II
Sprite and a special bodied fastback Sprite in the 12 hour race gives us
another connection to the man for us Healey enthusiasts. 

There is an extensive chapter of his making of the film "Le Mans".  An
interesting detail was using a Ford GT40, converted to a roadster, as a
camera car.

"McQueen's Machines" really is a great book that takes you through one of
the golden ages of motoring and the life of a very interesting "car guy".
The rare photos throughout the book are alone worth the price.

Agreed, Charlie.

I would expect that "the change" actually occurred at or just
before the mandatory seat belt cr*p in '69.

I am not sure I understand this. Does the XKE have two brake master cylinders,
one for each reservoir? Or only one master cylinder & two reservoirs? If two
master cylinders, is one for the front brakes & one for the rear? If yes,
wouldn't that be dual circuits? If no, what was the intent?
Gary





I have a '69 XKE that does not have dual circuit brakes.  It does have
wo brake fluid reservoirs, but not an additional set of brake lines, so
 don't consider it dual circuit.

I hate to leave this kind of opinionated nonsense laying on the table. What 
part of the measurable reduction in traffic deaths that has been due to 
seat belt use do you consider cr*p?

Most idiots who oppose seat belts say things like "I'd rather be  
thrown clear"

Found this, which comports with my recollection:

The National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966 gave 
regulators
until January 31, 1967 to develop federal motor vehicle 
safety standards that
were practical, stated in objective terms, and met
 the need for motor vehicle
safety. In addition, the initial federal 
standards were required to be based
on existing safety standards, such 
as those developed by the Society of
Automotive Engineers. New and 
revised federal standards (that did not need to
be based on existing 
standards) were required by January 31, 1968. Violators
of the standards
 were subject to a $1,000 civil penalty for each offense, up
to a 
maximum of $400,000 for a related series of violations (the maximum
penalty was increased to $800,000 in 1974).
Regulators issued twenty standards
for passenger cars by the initial 
deadline, including rules requiring
installation of seat belts for all 
occupants, impact-absorbing steering
columns, padded dashboards, safety 
glass, and dual braking systems.

It was the NTMVSA that sounded the death knell for the big Healey.  Attempts
were made to bring the car into compliance (e.g. removal of the knock-off ears
so that innocent pedestrians wouldn't be sliced to ribbons) but it just wasn't
cost effective to do bumper and steering column mods.  Of course, that may
have been a BL smoke screen as the Healey at that point was already past being
long in the tooth and BL probably wanted to concentrate on federalizing the
MGB and the "Healey replacement"  MGC.

Most likely, those in Darwin Award contention wouldn't be caught dead wearing
seat belts.  Google "Masten Gregory" if you want to see a racer that made a
career of jumping out of his car moments before the big crash.  Against all
odds, he died in his bed.

I'm thinking that it must have happened for Jan.1, 1970.  I have a 1970 
Volvo 1800 that does have dual circuit brakes, but Volvo would sometimes 
do things before it was mandated.  I'll have to check the manufaturer's 
plates on both the Jag and the Volvo to see if they say when each car 
was actually built.

It is kind of weird to me.  One of the reservoirs goes to the master 
cylinder and one goes to the booster.  Any of you XKE experts feel free 
to chime in.  There is definitely only one brake line that goes to each 
of the front brake calipers.

Kees -

The Atlantic was their flagship "sports" vehicle at the time.  Don't
forget Austin used to make the Sheerline and Princess limousines which
were almost as luxurious as any Jaguar or Rolls at the time.

Everyone knows about their small cars, but like GM they were so big
they made pretty much everything on four wheels at the time.

Dunno about E-types, but aren't most 'dual circuit' systems split?  IOW, they are not completely redundant, but have 
separate lines--driven by separate M/Cs or chambers--to either front/rear, or side-to-side (e.g. one circuit controls LF 
and RR, and one controls RF and LF)?

I don't know of any systems that have two lines to every wheel cylinder--without some sort of check valve a breach in 
one line would affect the other.

Dan, Rich, Greg, Charley, Steve, and interested listers, I went to Gullwing
today.  It's the kind of place you might like to go to on many, many days. A
bit overwhelming. I saw 7 Austin Healeys in 2 5000 sq ft+ rooms that were
cramed full of cars, kind of like those photos we've seen of just discovered
vaulted car collections. Due to lack of room it was difficult to thouroghly
inspect them and I didn't spend a lot of time there but the people working
there were friendly and told me to go ahead and climb over any cars in the
way.

 Dan, that blue/blue 100 is tarted up. Rich summed it up quite acurately. I
could see rust thru on bottom of X, and the underneith is a mess in general.
Some metal work has been done but to a low standard with sloppy welding
visable in wheel wells and sprayed black to tie it all together. Rear end was
very wet all over. The exterior paint does look good. My instinct told me the
batteries in these cars would be dead and I did not try to start any of them.

::: Sigh::: Is this thing on?
The change to dual circuit brakes took place with the 1968 model year.
Don't believe me?
Go look at the Moss catalog.
MGB tells the story
The listing are:
MGB Single line system 1962-1967
MGB Dual line non-servo system 1968-1974.5
Looking at the Triumph listings TR-4s are single systems, and TR-250s (1968)
are dual line systems
Moss doesn't have pictures of an Etype brake system So I had to dig out my
complete and official E type.
The series 1 had a totally dual circuit system with dual master cylinders.
This shows the Jags racing heritage, not Federal regulation.
The Series 1.5 and 2 had a dual circuit single master cylinder with a servo
system.  The hydraulic diagram clearly shows that one circuit feeds the
front brakes, the other the rears.
And Trust me Charlie, Volvo did it for 1968, but when they got rolling they
did dual circuits they really did dual circuits.  Two separate circuits in
each front caliper, and single circuit in each rear.  So one circuit had 1/2
of each front wheel, and one rear wheel.  Lose one circuit and you still had
braking in each front wheel and one rear wheel. Interesting front calipers
on these cars, two hydraulic lines and 3 bleed screws.
Speaking of which, dual circuits can be both fronts on one circuit, and
rears on the other (very common) or RF&LR / LF&RR (used on some ABS
systems), or some strange arrangement like Volvo (and SAAB) had with the
dual triangle systems.
A quick look at almost any old car parts catalog will show that I am
correct.

Alan,
The Sheerline and Princess were more or less coach built vehicles and in 
a totally different league than the Atlantic. The Atlantic was meant to 
be a volume production car for the USA market but never came to any 
volume. Anyway "modern" or complicated technology was not something 
Austin, they were the ultimate in conservatism. That is why it surprised 
me that the Atlantic had hydraulicly lifting windows.
Cheers,
Kees Oudesluijs

On the last two BJ8's, the VIN numbers don't seem right...
HBJ8L 56236  = I don't think  BJ8 #s went this high
HBJ8U 425736(or G) = I'm unfamiliar with the "U" designation or the "G"; and 
it must have been a G 'cause otherwise there are too many digits.
Anybody able to un-confuse me?

Richard is correct, early E's used 2 twin masters S3 and 12cyl switched to a
dual circuit master.

As the beneficiary of the information provided by Jackson Krall I  
agree that the write up was very thorough and shows the value of the  
time and effort going into organizing the whole thing.

Gullwing is place to visit for the sheer number of cars they have and  
the staff is friendly.  I don't know how many huge Bentleys I saw.  
When I was there 2 Buicks (1937?) same body style and year had just  
been brought in looking like a great barn find.

thanks to all,  Dan

Dan, Rich, Greg, Charley, Steve, and interested listers, I went to Gullwing
today.  It's the kind of place you might like to go to on many, many days. A

I have been watching this show, Chasing Classic Cars on HD Theater for a few
months
 and am just curious if anyone know whats behind this show?

Does anyone in the Connecticut area know of this shop, the credibility, or who
is
Wayne Carrinie?    The shop is F40 Motorsports, (I believe)

The show deals a lot with the Cal. and Arizona car auctions and mostly rare
classic
and unusual cars.   Wayne ships his cars across the states to sell and buy.
But lately
he seems to get "skunked" on his sales, which makes me wonder why go through
all
that expense just to have to bring your car back home and then end up selling
it locally.
Hmmmm?

One has to wonder sometimes which TV shows are on the level and use credible
information as opposed to just another "reality show" that is staged to draw
as many
viewers as possible.  (like the American Chopper reality show. That is getting
ridiculous
but pretty nice bikes.)

Waynes collection of inventory at his shop seems to be on the upper level of
unusual and
higher priced but they don't dwell too much on the inventory that he has in
stock much.
And where is the wife?  She must be the most understanding woman in the world
to
stand by while her husband travels all over the US and does his Guy Toy
hobby/business without
her along.

Anybody know of this shop/ person or what is behind the makeup of this show?

I based my previous response to Gary's questions on a quick check of the BJ8
registry data with the numbers given by Jackson Krall.   A more in-depth
review of the data requires me to change my response.
 
The BJ8 at Gullwing Motors that Jackson identified as HBJ8L 56236 is said to
have a body plate with the number 3222 BJ8 81135.   The chassis number 56236
is obviously incorrect for a BJ8, and based on the body number I said that
the correct chassis number was probably 36236.  However, I now find I have
36236 in the registry with a body number recorded of 3222  BJ8  81072.
Since 36235 has body 3222 BJ8 81071, I conclude that the data I have on
36236 is correct.  I also show that 36236 is a yellow car (originally BRG).
I have a continuous history of it back through nine owners to 20 June 1973.
 
However, that leads to the question:  what is the correct identity of the
car at Gullwing Motors?  The body number 3222 BJ8 81135 suggests that it
should be somewhere around 36257, but it can't be 36236.  Maybe 36286, which
was offered for sale on eBay out of Oregon in October 2010 (36282 has body
81131).
The "BMC-66" tag would indicate this car originally was dispatched from the
factory to California.

Gary, late in production of the BJ8, BMC changed the format of their VIN -
not just for Healeys but for all their cars.  The previous designation of
"L" for North American specification changed to "U", and the "G" was added
at the end to signify assembly at the MG Abingdon plant.  Like so many other
changes to Healeys, the change in format was not applied cleanly.  In the
BJ8 registry, I find strings of cars in numerical chassis sequence having
the old format, the new one, or any combination of, use of, or omission of
"L", "U", and "G".   But generally, for BJ8s the VIN format change occurred
at approximately chassis 42XXX.
 
"HBJ8L/56236" is a mistake in reading/recording the chassis number because
these only went as high as 43026.  By the body number given (81135), and by
reference to other cars in the registry, I can tell that the correct number
is probably HBJ8L/36236 (e.g., HBJ8L/36257 has body 81136).

On the last two BJ8's, the VIN numbers don't seem right...
HBJ8L 56236  = I don't think  BJ8 #s went this high
HBJ8U 425736(or G) = I'm unfamiliar with the "U" designation or the "G"; and
it must have been a G 'cause otherwise there are too many digits.

As far as I can tell, the XKE has a front brake master cylinder & a rear brake
master cylinder. I am not aware of any brake system with two lines going to a
single caliper.  The XKE has an unusual (to me) type of brake booster. It is
vacuum operated & applies pressure directly to the pedal assembly. It is
called a "pedal assistance" type of system. As far as I can tell, there is no
brake line or hydraulic system going to or from the booster.
I have two original XKE work shop manuals (and no XEK's), would you like to
buy one? Contact me offline.

It is kind of weird to me.  One of the reservoirs goes to the master cylinder
and one goes to the booster.  Any of you XKE experts feel free to chime in.
There is definitely only one brake line that goes to each of the front brake
calipers.

"Earless" knockoffs were available as early as BJ7s, according to the BMC
parts manual, and so were not produced in response to the USA NTMVSA.
HBJ8L/25316 (built 6 - 13 Dec 63) and despatched to Germany, and HBJ8L/26359
(built 15 - 23 Apr 64 and despatched to Switzerland) are just two examples
of early BJ8s with octagonal knockoffs.  Although it isn't possible to
determine it from the parts manual, registry evidence suggests that all cars
for (at least) Germany and Switzerland had such knockoffs from the beginning
of BJ8 production.
 
One very interesting thing I have noticed from the mass of BMIHT data in the
BJ8 registry:  "Wire wheels (w/octagonal nuts)" were on cars for the USA
built as early as December 1964 - but ONLY on those that were dispatched to
Philadelphia.   Anybody have a clue why that should be?

It was the NTMVSA that sounded the death knell for the big Healey.  Attempts
were made to bring the car into compliance (e.g. removal of the knock-off
ears
so that innocent pedestrians wouldn't be sliced to ribbons) but it just
wasn't
cost effective to do bumper and steering column mods.  Of course, that may
have been a BL smoke screen as the Healey at that point was already past
being
long in the tooth and BL probably wanted to concentrate on federalizing the
MGB and the "Healey replacement"  MGC.

Mark,

I have a good friend here in SoCal who is the West Coast equivalent of Wayne
Carini.  Nothing in the Discovery show surprises me since I've seen/
experienced the very same thing with my buddy Tom at Classic Showcase (
http://www.classicshowcase.com/) here in Oceanside, CA for many years now.

Being located on the West coast is convenient since Tom concentrates on the
Auctions in Monterrey and Scottsdale every year, but like Carini, he also
ships cars across the county to Amelia Island and often has to ships them
back when they don't sell.

You ask why go through the expense... because you can very often hit a home
run at auction that you would never get selling out of the showroom.  Look
at it this way, how many BJ8's or other Healeys get Kurt Tanner prices
selling out of the back of the two Heming's Motor News or the AH
magazines...? The answer is none!  This is why Kurt DOES NOT do customer
restorations, only auctions.

Is this show on the level?  From my separate but similar experiences, it
absolutely is on the level.

BTW, my buddy;'s wife almost never goes with him on his selling trips to the
west coast auctions.  She will accompany him to Jaguar events where they can
promote their business since my friend specializes in Jags, and is a JCNA
Concours judge.  Wives deal with husbands on the road for business all the
time in much less glamorous jobs.

Cheers,

Curt

Octagonal centre lock nuts were termed "safety nuts"  It was illegal to fit
them to any U.S. car as a result of the NMVSA after 2/67. Germany and
Switzerland had already outlawed the deadly knock-offs, so it was easy enough
to start fitting the ones already in production to U.S. bound cars.  I wonder
if anyone had actually been injured by a knock-off (other than trying to get a
seized one off)?  Why the Philly cars got them?  Just a guess, but like a lot
of BMC stuff, when they ran out of parts, they fit whatever happened to be
lying around the factory.

Agree on all.  I remember what I think was the original car/bike show, the one with the (now reviled) Jesse James.  I'm 
not into bikes, but I loved watching real craftsmen--metalworkers, painters, etc.--ply their trades, and became 
fascinated with welding thanks to "I gotta weld some every day to feel right" JJ.  Then, American Chopper came along and 
it was interesting for a few years for the same reason, but now it's a soap opera.  I still watch occasionally, trying 
to pick up welding and metalworking tips that are usually only shown inadvertently.

I think I've watched this particular show; I lose track sometimes.  My overall impression is that the businesses are 
legit, but after the cameras are around too long and the 'stars' become minor celebrities the shows degenerate.  There's 
one that's fairly new about a family that owns a huge junkyard in Nevada and now they're 'restoring' junkers and trying 
to auction them without a whole lot of success.  The restos seem to be only cosmetic--e.g. painting over surface 
rust--and there's little-to-no attempt at originality.   I keep hoping to spot a Healey in the junkpile.

Still the best are the regular production shows; 'Powerblock' on Spike is pretty good.  Ian on Extreme 4X4 really knows 
his stuff, Kevin Tetz (sp?) is a bodywork guru, the guys on Muscle Car are pretty good and it's not particularly 
difficult to watch Courtney Hansen strut around.

Here's an idea for a reality show: a dedicated auto mechanic/restorer devotes his life to maintaining and restoring 
classic British Austin-Healeys, and helping out fellow enthusiasts whenever possible.

No personal experience, but I often visited the F40 website before the show
came on.  Always seemed to be a nice assortment of very desirable cars. One of
his clients is Herb Chambers who owns a bunch of auto dealerships in greater
Boston and owns some beautiful collector cars (including a McLaren F1). I have
seen Wayne's wife on the show accompanying him to some shows.  As far as Wayne
getting "skunked" I bet the TV show underwrites the cost of some of his less
successful sales for the sake of getting the cars to auction.

It was not only the knock offs that became illegal in the 50's or 60's 
in many European countries. All unnecessary protruding parts had to be 
removed from the cars, e.g. bonnet mascots (these were absolute killers 
to pedestrians), protruding ornaments on front bumpers, eye lashes for 
head lights etc.

If you like to watch Jesse fabbing and welding, search YouTube for "Jesse

Bob,

If you like to watch Jesse fabbing and welding, search YouTube for "Jesse

Selling at auction is a lot like playing championship poker. You have to 
know enough when to fold and fold early, which is often more often than you 
play your cards, while waiting for a hand that allows you to take the big pot. 
Sure you spend the money to ante up with each car, but you hope the big 
scores will at least make your nut for the game.

Steve, I have a set of earless knock-off nuts which I only use to get my car
through the once-every-two-years inspection of our Ministry of Transport -
nuts with ears are considered to be 'protruding parts' and therefore
dangerous to other road users (yes, we do have silly laws here in Holland as
well!). It also sounds realistic to me that knockoffs with ears were (and
probably still are) forbidden in Germany and Switzerland, but maybe Josef
Eckert in Germany can throw more light on this matter.
A fixed jumping Jaguar, a fixed  Rolls-Royce angel, non-flexible rear view
mirrors, they are all forbidden in Europe and are only allowed when they
flex.

Not quite, but close, is Wheeler Dealers, on Discover HD Theater. A British car 
dealer finds and "restores" classics ranging from Minis to Porsches. Certainly 
not to concours standards, but they do a good job of showing some of the work 
they go through - including cutting and welding metal and rattle-can painting 
pieces. They turn dogs into presentable drivers.

The VIN plate for a BJ8 is in a place under the choke cable bracket that
makes it difficult to read clearly, especially if there is any surface
corrosion on the plate.  3, 5, and 8 can easily be misread for each other.
However, 36256 has body 81107.

Looking at your numbers could 36236 be 36256 with body 81135, that would

Yep, that's a good one with, I think, at least one of the guys from one of the original 'car guy' shows: Shadetree 
Mechanic.  I haven't seen it in a while though--must be buried in one of the triple-digit cable channels.

Subject: [Healeys] exhaust mounting bracket
Message-ID: <4D8E6E5E.3060901@earthlink.net>

Listers,

I'm installing a new Bell SS exhaust system on our tri-carb and, of 
course, none of the brackets line up.

Question - Which way was the front mounting bracket originally installed 
on the car - with the bolt flange to the front or to the rear?  The 
drawing in the parts list shows it to the rear.

To the front, the down pipes are too long.  To the rear, the down pipes 
are way too short.

The two mounting bolts on the tail pipe don't line up with the mounting 
brackets either, off by an inch or so.

You got to wonder how often a manufacturer offers the parts up to the 
car to check fit.  FWIW, the floor pan and the outriggers appear to be 
original.

Cheers,

Bob Haskell

I bought a smaller version of the Talbot mirror (90cm) with only one bolt
mounting from Holden in the UK.  I put them in where my car originally had
Lucas mirrors over the front wheel wells.  Looks MUCH better and quality is
good:

the Raydot mirrors, if that's what you are talking about, were always poor
quality.  In my opinion they don't look good on a Healey anyway.

Many years ago I had a Spitfire.  I put the u-bolt mount Talbots on it.
They were the two best things about that car.

Gentlemen, sorry for the confusion, I was trying to be careful, this was the last car I looked at and indeed it could be human error. I will try to get back there in a week or 2 and clear up the mystery. I don't want to be considered a pest by the people at Gullwing but I will make the point to them that I can work in their favor, and ofcourse, this sort of thing goes with the territory anyway. Otherwise, thanks for the appreciation and am always happy to contribute in meaningful ways when I can. But really, I'm just trying to keep you guys juiced up for whatever help I might need in the future and Dan, yes, please send one.

I have one Moss bullet mirror on my car for a couple of years and have had no
problems with the mirror itself. The rubber pad for the base is another story
- it started to deteriorate almost immediately.

I thought I recently read that the Moss ones were very poor quality.

Anyone have any comments?

F40 Motorsports is a top notch operation and I only wish that I had seen the 
show prior to selling "No 2" Healey as I am sure Wayne would have found the 
appropriate customer for such a historical piece not to say that the current 
owner appreciates this car for it's historical significance.

One of the reasons, and probably the most important, you do not see Wayne's 
wife is that they have a special needs child who Wayne had on one of his 
shows some time ago and most likely his wife has to be on hand to help with 
her care.

Wayne worked with his Dad who had a similar shop and his first projects was 
to restore a Ferrari. He has continued in this field since his early 
twenties and built a very impressive operation. I look forward to stopping 
buy whenever I am in the area.  Don Paye

...if you want to see something REALLY nasty, one of our members just bought 
this (he does own a proper BN1 too!) It's an Aussie made kit car called a 
Pandarus (thankfully only a handful made). It has a Toyota Crown chassis and 
a Leyland (Buick derived) P76 alloy block 4.4 litre V8 motor.

Cheers

Hi folks,
I am now ready to install a heat barrier. I was going to do it on the cheap
since I will have to do this twice since my car is not restored but I decided
to do it right. Now I am confused as to what product to buy. Does anyone have
a recommendation on which Dynamat product is best for the Healey interior, how
much I will need to buy, and where to get it?

Here in Germany its very strange what they do. Knock-ons with ears on
Austin-Healeys, MGs, Jaguars or other English cars are forbidden, but the ones
used on Mercedes 300SL Gullwings, Ferraris and Lamborghinis are allowed. Maybe
its they have a better lobbying.
Most of my friends and me have the ear one on the cars as police so far does
not put a fine on it. But for MOT inspection we have a set in our local club
which is handed from one to the next who needs them for the MOT test.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] Seat belt what?

Steve, I have a set of earless knock-off nuts which I only use to get my car
through the once-every-two-years inspection of our Ministry of Transport -
nuts with ears are considered to be 'protruding parts' and therefore dangerous
to other road users (yes, we do have silly laws here in Holland as well!). It
also sounds realistic to me that knockoffs with ears were (and probably still
are) forbidden in Germany and Switzerland, but maybe Josef Eckert in Germany
can throw more light on this matter.
A fixed jumping Jaguar, a fixed  Rolls-Royce angel, non-flexible rear view
mirrors, they are all forbidden in Europe and are only allowed when they
flex.

Scott,

Check out the product by FatMat.  Fatmat.com is their site.  

You can get 100sf for $130!  That's enough to do two cars.:

Hi folks,
I am now ready to install a heat barrier. I was going to do it on the cheap
since I will have to do this twice since my car is not restored but I
decided
to do it right. Now I am confused as to what product to buy. Does anyone
have
a recommendation on which Dynamat product is best for the Healey interior,
how
much I will need to buy, and where to get it?

Cheers,

Was under the dash putting the speedo back in and noticed a slight bit of wetness around the rubber dust boot on the 
clutch M/C.  Pulled the boot off, and there was just a teensy smear of fluid on the cyl, and a bit of dark gray greasy 
crud where the pushrod goes through the retaining washer.  Fluid use/loss is negligible, about what you'd expect from 
brake surface wear.  The outside of the M/C is dry and clutch works fine.  I use silicone brake/clutch fluid, FWIW.  The 
M/C is one of the iron Lucas types Moss was selling a few years ago, and probably 6-8 yrs-- +/- 30K miles--old.

My question to the List is: am I in danger of imminent/eventual failure of the M/C, or is this no big deal and to be 
expected, or something in between?

Scott,
I used a product called Q-Pad. It does not have the aluminum layer 
and seems stiffer than dynamat so it is a little harder to install. 
It was recommended to me by a jag restorer. You will need to measure 
the areas you intend to place it to get an estimate of the square 
footage. I installed it on the floor and on the front footwell. Some 
people also install it in the doors and on each side of the front 
footwell. I also placed it under the tar paper on the interior of the 
firewall. I have not driven my car yet so I do not know how well it will work.

Condition, colour, type of transmission, type of fuel used, manufacturer,
sports/convertible, number of doors, and model year...  Everything that
describes the car EXCEPT WHICH DAMN CAR IT IS!
It annoys the hell out of me when sellers don't bother to identify the car
they have for sale by the number the manufacturer chose to distinguish THIS
car from all of the others.
 
The notation that this car was a BMC Press Car is probably on the BMIHT
certificate.  The BJ8 Registry has two similar cars in the records, a BRG
one and a Metallic Golden Beige that have such a notation on the
certificate.  Unfortunately, no red one is currently included.

When ever we are trying to stop as much heat as possible from getting into the
cockpit there are several things we will do.
	First be sure all hole in the firewall are plugged with the correct size
grommets.
	Next has to be done prior to installing the harness, we will install Dynamat
on the upper part of the firewall above the air tube.
	Then install Dynamat to all surfaces that are covered by carpet, behind the
front kick panels, inside the doors, and also cover the transmission tunnel.
	Next use DynaLiner under the floor carpet and all the carpeting in the foot
bax area.

This will take 36 sq ft of dynamat and One box of Dynaliner

There really should be no fluid loss at all. It should not be an expected
"normal" condition.

Scott,   I used the Dynamat Extreem through out my car floors, doors and 
tunnel. It is tacky/tarry on one side and "BRIGHT" foil on the other.  Great 
sound deadener and seals up any cracks, holes,  and
is suppose to keep the interior heat down. The tacky side is self adhering 
to fresh paint or clean metal.

About $190. for my box from Eastwood off of their Ebay sight.

Won't the fluid level drop--albeit a little--as the brake pads wear in?

Technically, yes, the fluid level in the reservoir will drop a tiny bit over
time as brake pads wear and pistons have to reach further out of the bores,
but hardly enough to notice. This has nothing to do with dampness getting
past the m/c seal.

Won't the fluid level drop--albeit a little--as the brake pads wear in?

I do not disagree with Rich, but will add as far as the question about leaks 
as described, they will generally slowly get worse over an extended period 
of time, not fail catastrophically.  I would monitor closely and get fixed 
when time and schedule permit.  Newer M/C is likely not scored or corroded 
so a rebuld kit would probably be worth a try.

Condition, colour, type of transmission, type of fuel used, manufacturer,
sports/convertible, number of doors, and model year...  Everything that
describes the car EXCEPT WHICH DAMN CAR IT IS!
It annoys the hell out of me when sellers don't bother to identify the car
they have for sale by the number the manufacturer chose to distinguish THIS
car from all of the others.

The notation that this car was a BMC Press Car is probably on the BMIHT
certificate.  The BJ8 Registry has two similar cars in the records, a BRG
one and a Metallic Golden Beige that have such a notation on the
certificate.  Unfortunately, no red one is currently included.

The level will drop and more than a tiny bit as the pads wear.  It is quite
noticeable in the master.
Getting back to the original question in a perfect world the bore should be
clean as a whistle and dry as a bone. However we are talking about a 6-8 year
old cylinder of Lucas quality in the real world. So here in the real world a
bit (and I do mean a bit) of dampness that took 6-8 years to accumulate is
nothing to be overly concerned about.
If it were me I would clean it up and then recheck it after a few drives.

Hi folks,
I am now ready to install a heat barrier. I was going to do it on the cheap
since I will have to do this twice since my car is not restored but I decided
to do it right. Now I am confused as to what product to buy. Does anyone have
a recommendation on which Dynamat product is best for the Healey interior,
how
much I will need to buy, and where to get it?

Cheers,

Keith -

Look / listen for an intake manifold leak possibly.  Also check
compression - if a cylinder is scored it won't run well at low RPM but
will recover when revved up.

Hi Keith - for the manifold leak possibility, spray instant start around the 
intake manifold joints. If the engine speeds up, that's your problem. I have 
a compression tester if you need one (but surely you haven't revved it that 
hard yet!) Is your vacuum advance take off OK, and is that working properly? 
A simple suck on the tube will show if it is.

Cheers

Peter

Hey all,

The wife and I just came back from a wonderful week in Scotland. We
stayed in North Berwick, just outside Edinburgh. Along with all the
castle touring and stopping to take pictures of muddy sheep in muddy
fields we ran across this funny little car museum: Myreton Motor
Museum.

It was out in the middle of nowhere, and had it not been for my wife's
sharp eyes we'd have never known it was there. It was a great little
wander. I put photos online here:

This is the only proper reaction regarding a hydraulic circuit.. This 
certainly goes for a brake circuit where no leakage, seepage is allowed 
at any time because of obvious safety reasons.
Some seepage can be tolerated in the clutch circuit but it is unwise as 
it messes things up, can damage your paint and in the end losses the clutch.
New seals are cheap and easy to install. Even if you have to replace the 
cylinders it is a cheap and easy job.

Look at:
Lean mixture: loose or leaking vacuum line(s), inlet manifold and/or 
carb gaskets leaking, worn butterfly spindles.
Faulty ignition timing: to much advance, sticky fly weights in the 
distributor.

Jody,
That looks like a very nice little museum. There are literally thousands 
of these jewels all over Europe. Most of them are exquisite and much 
nicer and more interesting than the big, brash, well organized and 
commercial musea.
The problem is finding them. Often they are in very remote parts and 
they are usually not extensively advertised if at all. Many tourist 
bureaus would not even know about them. Some local car clubs may be 
aware but even they often have no way of knowing.

Can anyone tell me offhand the size socket I'll need for the nut on the front
end of the crankshaft? The car is a 6 cylinder but I seem to recall the 4
cylinder one is the same. I have to tighten it and need to go to town to pick
up a socket. It looks to be somewhere between a 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" but I won't
know until I pull the radiator and can get a good measurement.

Had an intermittent miss once, though it was mostly higher speeds under load.  Finally diagnosed with the 'dark test:' 
run the car in a dark garage--but with plenty of ventilation--and look for any sparking.  My problem was an aftermarket 
distributor cap that leaked.  Put an original Lucas in; problem solved.  Also, if you're running a standard distributor 
cap with carbon-core wires you'll get missing sooner or later.

But, an intake leak sounds more likely in your case (but the dark test is quick and easy).

Thanks for the feedback, all.  I'll get a seal kit on order.

Looks as if this might be a common problem with the newer 'rubber' components and or fluids.

Kees,

Yes. And if it hadn't been for my wife's sharp eye we would have spent
our entire vacation just miles from it and never gone to see it.

I, on the other hand, was so busy concentrating on driving those tiny
roads that I barely noticed anything that we drove past.

We pressure watch the fiberglass tunnel and install the dynamat in the
interior side of the tunnel. Dont think it is really necessary to do on  both
sides.

Remember you must also use the Dynaliner on top as the carpet insulation.

Be careful of those that are selling Dynamat on the Web i have had a couple of
people tell me they can find it on line at less the cost. I have contacted
Dynamat about it and the ones that I have called them on are not dealers  so
they can not say what the product actually is, also there would be no warranty
with Dynamat.  Just one more reason to be cautious when buying on E Bay.

The grease that the part were lightly packed with will eventually sort

Maybe it has to with whether or not they protrude past the edge of the  
rim.

Almost Robert but not quite.
The crank nut is a 1" Whitworth OR 1-1/8" BSF size, and yes, the same size
nut is used on 4's and 6's.

It would be very disappointing if someone bought 1-1/8" Whit socket or
wrench only to find it was too big!

The true 'across flats' dimension of the nut is 1.67" so 1-11/16" will be
about 20thou" oversize.

Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me offhand the size socket I'll need for the nut on the front
end of the crankshaft? The car is a 6 cylinder but I seem to recall the 4
cylinder one is the same. I have to tighten it and need to go to town to pick
up a socket. It looks to be somewhere between a 1 5/8" and 1 3/4" but I won't
know until I pull the radiator and can get a good measurement.

I used a foil faced bubble product specifically manufactured for the
automotive industry called BA820 and manufactured by Reflectic Inc.
(800-879-3645 Jerry Saunders.)  This product utilizes thicker aluminum
facers and a thicker core material than what can be found from other
manufacturers.  I installed the product on the underside of the transmission
tunnel using double-back tape.
 
No financial or other connections with the manufacturer.

Message-ID: <SNT124-W22252A545D356F050A8372B5BA0@phx.gbl>

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about the size socket needed
for the crankshaft nut. Since there were a variety of answers I thought I
should try to set the record straight. A 1 11/16" socket fit perfectly. Those
who provided that answer go to the head of the class. I didn't try a Whitworth
size - both 1" and 1 1/8" Whitworth were suggested - since nobody stocks them.
Same for BSF. 42.3 mm was suggested but sockets in fractions of millimeters
aren't available around here either.  Alan, I tried a Mashie-Niblick but it
wasn't even close and choking up on my Baffling Spoon just left me - well -
choked up.
Crankshaft nut is now nice and tight and, unless I do something stupid again,
should stay that way.

The 6 cylinder engines have two different sizes of crankshaft nuts, 1-5/8 and
1-11/16. The cranks themselves are identical. The 1-5/8 may be the size used
on the 100-6 engines. I do not know when the change was made or why but I have
both size sockets in my tool box.

Chris, unclip and remove the padded dash top by removing the dash mirror,
and the two black steel clips that are bent and wrapped under the leading
edge, left and right sides. It will then lift up to clear the demister vent
pegs from their holes and the entire pad will lift up and back. That will
expose the hex head bolt that will need to be unscrewed to release the
middle anchor bracket from the cowl.

With the complete trafficator assembly already removed, pop the little C
clip from its groove at the end of the splined portion of the steering tube.
Unscrew the locking collar holding the adjustable splines from the column
and pull the steering wheel back and off.

Rich

Great article and photos.

I updated my website about 6 months ago with some new information about the
Streamliners.

My conclusion is that they were in fact 100S's and special test cars and not
built on 100-Six chassis even though they had 6 cylinder engines..

The explanation for this hypothesis can be found here

http://www.healeysix.net/Streamliners.htm

The original Bonneville '100-Six' streamliner was a special test car and the
three other aluminium bodies were exactly the same and fitted to the Sebring
cars. It also ties in nicely with the 'mystery' piece of aluminium stamped
Racer 25 that is in Bill Piggott's book and explained on my website.

If Joe Jarrick is reading this I would appreciate receiving his thoughts on
this idea.

cheers

Derek

Rick,
Thanks for the notice. I got my first CD subscription in 1962 at age 10. Yes,
I thought Warren Weith was pretty cool. I would take some of his columns to
English class.

I was looking through an Autoweek from a last Feb.7. And there is an article

Subject: [Healeys] Chasing Classic Cars
Message-ID: <64444422664143768E7F6BDC6892D2FF@TM1>

Well, the world is small...

 

When I bought my 100 3 years ago, I was looking for someone that could take
a look at the car. At that time I was not a member of this list. The closest
to the PO was the ..F40. I called them up if they could take a look at the
car, take some photos & let me know how the car is.

Their judgment was very fair (based on the Healey knowledge they had) and
price was modest. They also participated as 3rd party in the sale.

 

 

Best, Tadek

I have been watching this show, Chasing Classic Cars on HD Theater for a few
months  and am just curious if anyone know whats behind this show?

 

Does anyone in the Connecticut area know of this shop, the credibility, or
who is

Wayne Carrinie?    The shop is F40 Motorsports, (I believe)

 

The show deals a lot with the Cal. and Arizona car auctions and mostly rare
classic

and unusual cars.   Wayne ships his cars across the states to sell and buy.

But lately

he seems to get "skunked" on his sales, which makes me wonder why go through
all that expense just to have to bring your car back home and then end up
selling it locally.

Hmmmm?

 

One has to wonder sometimes which TV shows are on the level and use credible
information as opposed to just another "reality show" that is staged to draw
as many viewers as possible.  (like the American Chopper reality show. That
is getting ridiculous but pretty nice bikes.)

 

Waynes collection of inventory at his shop seems to be on the upper level of
unusual and higher priced but they don't dwell too much on the inventory
that he has in stock much.

And where is the wife?  She must be the most understanding woman in the
world to stand by while her husband travels all over the US and does his Guy
Toy hobby/business without her along.

 

Anybody know of this shop/ person or what is behind the makeup of this show?

I got the steering box back from the powder coater today.

The solder did melt but it did not fail or come apart. I can tell 
because there are a couple of solder drops on the outside of the 
powder coating at the joint.

The powder specification was 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes 
although the temperature can vary up and down a few degrees.

List,

I decided to go high-tech and save some money at the same time. With the 
crappy weather this year, I haven't had a chance to check it out in a 
really hot So Cal day. This stuff applies in the thickness of a credit 
card. I have it inside the cockpit and under the driver's floorboard and 
transmission tunnel of Red Car. It's called Lizard Skin.
http://www.lizardskin.com/

I ran across it last year at Rendezvous 2010 in Eugene, 0R. Steve Day of 
The British Car Ranch http://britishcarranch.homestead.com/ discussed it 
in a Tech Session he was putting on. He described how you could spray it 
on a piece of sheet metal, heat one side of that with a torch and put 
your bare hand on the other side without being burned. That was good 
enough for me. Mine was applied by Eric Grunden of Absolutely British in 
Santa Maria, CA.

I actually meant the "striker". I think OEM strikes wear too easily.

I have been wanting to raise the following for some time, it concerns an 
article that made a big impression when i was a kid reading C & D and 
others.
A write up,of a trip down the east Coast of US in a Maserati 'Birdcage' 
to a race meeting, Sebring?

Anyway it rained very heavily and there was no weather protection in the 
Birdcage and even less space for a passenger and his weekends baggage.

Does anyone know of this article and the magazine it was from?

I am skeptical of any product that claims to be a thermal insulating product
but does not provide the thermal conductibility ("U" value) or the "R" value
of the product.
Anything you add to a surface provides some thermal insulating & sound
absorbing properties. The question is how much? I have tried to get this
information from many companies & most of them never got back to me. When I
did get information, they never were significantly better that an equal
thickness of a similar common material such as felt/fiber products,
fiberglass, Styrofoam, bubble wrap & neoprene, for example. Personally, I do
not want any product that is permanently adhered to the floor boards. I have
been caught is a few torrential rain storms in my Healey & being able to
remove the carpet & insulation from the floors is a priority for me.

"LizardSkinB. Ceramic Insulation formula is an advanced, water-based
composition of high-grade acrylic binders with air-filled
insulating/reflective and sound-absorbing particles."
This sounds like a water based paint with air filled particles (Styrofoam
beads?) in it. The air is providing the insulation properties.
What part is the ceramic component?

Gary,

       I understand that you are concerned about being able to pull the 
material out if you get the carpets wet, but the added advantage of a 
product like Dynamat is it becomes a waterproof barrier for your floorboards 
and all you'd have to do is pull your carpets and then just wipe down the 
Dynamat.

Ward,

You're basically correct, the "ceramic" is glass microbeads or microballons. I
used the diy recipe here:
http://www.hotrodders.com/forum/alternative-lizard-skin-103610.html  to coat
the floorboards, firewall and footboxes of my Nasty.  I'm also going to use
Reflectix (available in HD and Lowe's) as an underliner in the interior, as
well as an insulating mat between the mufflers and floorpan (click my build
link below)  I'm hoping all that will provide some help with Healey heat.

think at some time there was a  link posted to a guy showing how he used
this cheaper product to insulate an ols VW bug....

There is a brush on product,called Lizard Skin (or something like that)
Supposed to be good.

Also expensive.


Someone did some research,on the MSDS.
It's just paint and Micro Balloons.

Any decent Fiberglas supplier will have Micro Balloons.
They are just like the name suggests,small hollow ceramic spheres.
Looks like powder,doesn't weight much.

Sorry my terminology knowledge is a bit vague but if this is the triangle 
post that is on the rear
shut pillar,  then I purchased mine from NOS Locators from their Ebay web 
sight.  They worked fine once I got them adjusted properly. Chrome is good. 
I reused my old plate and just purchased the triangle with the stud on the

I agree here with Mike.   The Dynamat Extreem becomes your floor and the 
foil side does not absorb moisture, obviously.   I was very hesitant when I 
first bought this stuff but the way that it sticks
down is pretty permanent and a very good seal against moisture getting to 
the floor.  I put Heritages
under carpet padding over the dynamat and then the carpet. The sound 
deadening effect is great.  I can always pull my carpets out since I cut 
around my seat slides and used the carpet snaps as recommended.

I did some research about 1.5 years ago and I went with Kolmat. It's
silicone based. Photos are at
https://picasaweb.google.com/Volvo1800S/AssemblyPhase2#

I read about it on few other lists and I think I was finally convinced by
someone doing an e-type with it. I also saw it installed in my friend's
e-type and I have to say heat is not a problem there, despite a V12..

I'm very happy with the mild steel system manufactured by Bell.  Quiet was 
one of my main concerns.

Kroil is another good one. <http://www.kanolabs.com/>

And I've heard, but haven't tried, a 50/50 mix of automatic transmission
fluid (ATF) and acetone works well, too. That may be easier to find in
Poland.

You're showing your (our) age. I remember the episode where "Maverick" jumped

at the livery stable. The address was 77 Cherokee Strip and the hostler was
Kookie...

Sigh, I can remember that, but can't remember where I put my beer down...

Subject: [Healeys] Vredestein 165x15
Message-ID: <23a4e.14c474f7.3ac57b11@aol.com>

So I'm driving down the road with a spare on my left rear, (an older  
Michelin) and the tire separated, blew apart and bent my left rear fender  up 
pretty good. But I survived, didn't crash and the car will be fine, so  all 
good there. My problem now is that I bought a Vredestein 165x15 to use as my  
new spare and it won't fit in the spare wheel well of my 1953 BN1.
    Anyone else have this problem? And if so, how did  you solve it. The 
new tire is wider than either my old Michelin, which was my  spare and the 
tires I have on the car now. Concords, made by who knows who, but  I like them 
a lot and they perform well. It seems the Vredestein is wider and  only goes 
part way in before it wedges and stops. 
    Any suggestions? And I'm only running 28 lbs of  pressure and it's 
still too fat!

Gbday list

Ibve just pulled the tank from the V6 car (itbs a custom alloy tank) to
replace the in-tank fuel pump. This is integral with the gauge sender and
mounts through a hole in the side of the tank, with a cork gasket under the
flange. When I first put it together I used my favourite sealant, blue
Hylomar, which Ibve used for years in most situations (if Rolls Royce use
it...) Anyway, when I took it apart it seemed to me that the sealant had been
attacked by the fuel, in that it was soft and came off very easily. can anyone
advise the best sealant to use where itbs going to be in contact with fuel?

Steven -

A couple of thoughts - have you tried putting any of your other tyres in the
boot?  Are they all Vredesteins?

If they are all the same tyre, I would recommend getting the standard Dunlop
ply tyre for the spare.  This is what I have in my BN1.  The Dunlops are
perfectly fine as a spare and, of course, fit in the boot properly.

Also note that Longstone Tyres has a very cheap 165x15 with a very narrow
section width from a company called Nexen:

http://longstonetyres.co.uk/page/search?searchMethod=term&searchTerm=590+X+15
http://www.nexentireusa.com/tires-9/SB802

However, I note the Nexen spec sheet is a bit different to the tread specs
on the Longstone tyre site.  The Longstone folks are usually quite helpful
so I'm sure you can call them and ask them to measure the width of the tyre
before you buy it.  If you're lucky this will be a very cheap option.

Let us know if the Nexen tyre pans out, that would be good info to have for
the list.

I had the same problem and I will fit a 155x15 Vredestein as spare while I
have 185's on the car

The other solution is to keep the 165 without air and have a small air
compressor on the car as Porsche 911's !!!!!

Steven--

* *When I bought my '54 100 it still had bias tires so I switched up to
175-15 Michelins (which I have used ever since--and wish I could get more
of).  Anyway when I went to load in the spare I had the same problem that
you are experiencing.

Covering the tire with dry cleaning bags allowed me to jam it in but it was
almost impossible to subsequently remove.  Ultimately by employing a small
scissors jack I was able to spread the opening just enough to accomodate the
tire.

Steven, 

That is odd as I have 165 x 15 Vredestein Sprint series tires on all 4
corners and in the boot of our recently acquired early BN1 and it fits fine.
(see pictures) One thing I always do is to cut the bottom 20" or so off a
jumbo sized green plastic garbage bag and sheath the forward half of the
tire in this bag, then push the tire into position. This makes a huge
difference in not catching or plowing Armacord and tire sheath. It also
makes it much easier to slide out again and is not visible when in place.

VW tires will fit in the spare tire opening  They are a little small  
for the car but how often do you need your spare tire. Hopefully never.
Also this a reminder to check the dates on all your tires. The  
seperation is usually caused by a old tire. And any tire that is over  
8 years old should be considered for replacement. I have found cars  
here in the shop that are driven on the road with 15-20 year old  
tires. very dangerous.

We have installed both, and they both seem to work as well as each  
other. The problem we have had with the Koolmat is that nothing will  
stick to it. What you are going to use as carpet insulation you will  
have to get some good glue to install it. If you use the Dynatmat   
material you can use their Dynaliner which has a peel a stick backing  
and sticks right in place.

Hi
Well, FWIW, I recently bought a new car. It doesn't have any spare wheel 
at all. Instead it has a little compressor. I have adopted the same 
principle on the Healey, bought a little compressor and using the extra 
space for luggage instead. Haven't needed any spare wheel for the four 
seasons I've used the 3000. And not for the Sprite either, for the 
eleven years I've had it.

Have driven my big Healey for 35 years without a spare tire. Less of an
adventure these days with a cell phone. Rather have the room for luggage
when I travel.  I know, I have now cursed myself and should expect all four
tires to go flat on my first drive after the resto is done....

Richard,

 
The boot support rod usually has a slight bend in it halfway along its
length to take care of this. A slight tweaking for more angle as needed will
usually do the trick.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I have already purchased the  
Vredestein, so I'm stuck with it so to speak. I am going to try the scissors  
jack suggestion and see if I can squeeze out an eighth to a quarter inch or  
so to get the tire in and Rich thanks for the suggestion of the hefty, trash 
bag  covering half the tire, great idea. And David, I totally agree with 
you about  the dangers of driving with older tires. I wouldn't have done it 
except one of  my new tires went flat, not the tires fault but rather a 
problem with the tube  and this was the reason I was driving with my spare that 
came apart. I was  waiting on new tubes and so was driving with the older tire 
on, but now I have  four fairly new tires (that all fit in the spare tire 
compartment) and one brand  new one that I will get to fit one way or another.
    Thanks all for the feedback.

Per, I hope you not only got a compressor but also a pressurized can with a
kind of liquid rubber which you are expected to blow into your flat tire.
That works only sometimes, not always. If your tire has come away from the
steel wheel because you drove too long on the flat tire your compressor will
not help as all the air you pump into the tire escapes immediately. If you,
as happened to me, drive over a rather large bolt which causes a 1.5 inch
long cut in your tire the compressor doesn't help either.
I have no experience with  tubed tires on spoke wheels but again I fear a
can and a compressor will only help with a very small puncture. Experience
anyone?
I personally will never accept a can + compressor in a new vehicle, I'll
insist to get an old-fashioned spare wheel.

David,

 

I run into the same problem. Silicone is a pain to glue on. After numerous
experiments I prime the Koolmat layer with a glue called PATTEX Extreme and
then on top use contact glue.. 

 

My upholstery shop gave me another solution - to sand it with very heavy
sand paper.

We have installed both, and they both seem to work as well as each other.
The problem we have had with the Koolmat is that nothing will stick to it.
What you are going to use as carpet insulation you will have to get some
good glue to install it. If you use the Dynatmat  material you can use their
Dynaliner which has a peel a stick backing and sticks right in place.

Hylomar always remains gooie and runnie.  Its not like a silicone that cures 
like rubber.   It is suppose to seal all liquids that
our cars use.   I am referring to the older type of Hylamar not one of the

I've gone the same route - with just a bit more security.  Besides the
compressor, I also carry a bottle of "Slime" (a thick liquid that will plug a
leaking tire, at least temporarily).  Another thought.  If your Healey is
still neg. earth, your mini-compressor may not work.  Would be a good idea to
install clips on the compressor lead instead of the cigarette lighter plug.

Per, you are right on, if you don't carry a spare with a tube tire wire 
wheel car you should carry an extra tube, not a bad idea even if you have a 
spare.  In my experience when a wire wheel tube tire goes flat it must 
either blow a big hole in the tube or shred the tube in an instant if you 
roll at all with no air pressure.

What this means of course is that the slime stiff will do you no good at 
all.  If you travel at all you don't know if the shop you are forced to use 
for repair has any tube in stock, so the tube is a good idea, and easy to 
stuff in a nook or cranny in the trunk.

Happy Healying

If you have inner tubes the slime will make them unusable after its use.   Its
a toss up I guess.
Repair the old tube with a nail hole or buy a new one because the slime ruined
it. 
 
Maybe if you carried an extra inner tube also you'd be in good shape.   The
inner tubes are hard
to locate sometimes.

All of this discussion about Vredesteins and other tires reminds me of how
very different my two BN2s drive with their very different tires.

The 100M has a set of the repro Dunlop RS5 (on 48-spoke wires), and it feels
very light and quick on its feet.  It also breaks loose VERY easily and you
have to remind yourself that you're driving on skinny bias-ply tires or she'll
try to swap ends on you.

The 100 with Le Mans Kit rides on a set of Avon CR6ZZ (on cast wheels that
look like Dunlop pressed-steel wheels of the 1950s), and it feels so very much
heavier and "slow on its feet," but the handling is about as good as it gets
for a street tire, even rivaling many race tires.

A photo on this page shows the difference in the height and width of these
tires: http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/page/Austin_Healey_Tyres.  Note that
the Dunlop is tall and oh-so-skinny, while the Avon is short and wide with
relatively little tread.

The result is that the Dunlops give you a real 1950s driving experience, but
the Avons give you a much safer ride, including much shorter stopping
distances.

By the way, you can see the Dunlop wheels on this page by clicking on the red
spot on the wheel (not the red spot on the knock-off):

Interesting...

I was once forced to run for 30km on a flat tire (standard) in a Renault
Clio. I had punctures in 2 tires, as a military vechicle pushed me of the
asphalt.
It was at that time I thought Michelin is an absolutely amazing tire - it
survived the 30km and did not fall apart..

Mind you, I was on the border of Israel and Lebanon; I happened to be there
as I could not comprehend signs in Hebrew saying 'military zone - road
closed'... 

My tires went flat just in front of a Hezbollah military camp :-)

Subject: [Healeys] Steering box oil seal
Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20110331203248.01ff66a0@pop.att.yahoo.com>

Is it just me or does the steering box oil seal seam very flimsy when 
compared to the idler arm seal?

Is anyone machining the steering box to install a beefier seal? Is it 
a good idea to do this? If so, what is the seal manufacturer and seal number.

Thank you,

John,

Are you talking about the little green seal that Moss sells?  They're the correct diameters (ID/OD), but thinner than 
the original-type seal.  Apparently, you can stack two of them and get a good seal, or maybe another supplier like BCS 
has the original type (I got a couple years ago from Healey Haven--they still in business?).

Message-ID: <6.2.3.4.2.20100323223353.01fce730@pop.att.yahoo.com>

Date:		April 1, 2011
From:		Committed Chairperson
Memo to: 	Concourse Committee <Healeys at autox.team.net>
Subject:	Revision to Concours Guidelines

The Committee on Originality Standards has elected, pursuant to the 
bylaws, to immediately and retroactively incorporate Section P (page 
P9 - Paint Refinishing Instructions), from "The Austin-Healey 100 and 
3000 Workshop Manual", for future Concourse inspections and for all 
prior Concourse inspections as of the date of this memorandum or 
whenever you happen to read this email as may be appropriate.

Requirements for body work to an Austin Healey must now comply with 
all aspects of Section P in the Workshop Manual; this includes, but 
is not limited too the stated suppliers, materials and outlined 
procedures to receive the prerequisite medal in a concourse judging.

To keep your Gold, Silver or Bronze medal, or to obtain one in the 
future, it will be necessary to completely strip the finish off of 
the vehicle in question and then refinish it with the appropriate 
methods, materials and procedures. Be certain to use the proper 
stripping agent as outlined in Section P of the Workshop Manual! Of 
course this will not be required if you have already complied with 
Section P and can prove it as outlined in the next paragraph.

You must keep records of the materials purchased, the quantities 
used, and the methods employed in the stripping and refinishing 
process. You will be required to  produce these records at the time 
your vehicle undergoes a Concools judging. The same will be required 
for those already in possession of a Concrete certificate. For 
disposable items, such as "Howard Blue Twill Emery Cloth", it will be 
necessary to save the used portions and bring them to the judging for 
inspection by the Concoerced judge. It is suggested, but not 
required, that you produce a video of the entire process.

We trust that the minor additional effort required by this revision 
to the judging standards will be a trivial inconvenience to our 
members. This change will continue to ensure that these beloved cars 
are restored to the highest standards and traditions that we strive 
to maintain in the pursuit of excellence in the restoration and 
preservation of these historic automobiles.

Should you have any comments or suggestions concerning this change; 
we don't care - keep them to yourself!

Insincerely yours,
A Chairperson that should be Committed
