On a n unrestored BJ8, from my experience, the best paint to match is the
paint under the chrome door top surrounds.
Buff it, and take the door to the paint shop for matching.

Message-ID: <4F4BAE16.5080609@comcast.net>

The reach of DMH's little car company never ceases to amaze me.  This is from the Feb. issue of AOPA Magazine in an 
article about Mike Dale:

"Dale was two weeks from becoming an active-duty fighter pilot in de Havilland Vampires when he was suddenly stopped by 
an insurmountable medical obstacle.  A genetic inner-ear condition (since surgically repaired) disqualified him from 
military flying.

He was crestfallen but redirected his energy to the automotive industry, and that led to positions at the Donald Healey 
Co. (sic), British Motor Corp., a move to the United States, and auto racing--were he became a production car national 
champion in the 1970s.  His success on the track and at motivating racing teams eventually brought him to Jaguar, where 
his talents in marketing and business strategy propelled his rise to president of Jaguar North America.  He retired in 
2000."

Well, I think the Old English White still functions under WT3, at least for
DuPont:

http://tinyurl.com/7kurx2c

This is where I at least got the paint from.

I did not actually use DuPont's black formula, but instead went for 100%
black. 50 years ago no one could produce black  like now..


BRG is more tricky I guess, as there are so many shades of it...

Does anyone sell wire wheel balancing set-ups - hub + spinner with machined

If not I need to locate a used left rear hub (with good splines) and a used
left side spinner to have machined locally.

I'm an engineer and I can do a drawing of the setup, once I go through the
process.  The only machining needed is on the spinner and this needs to be
coordinated with the balancing machine.  I'll use Hunter balancers, since
they're the most popular manufacturer.

Mark, Steve, Listers:

Mark is right - the instructions that came with the Bolton scuttle seals
(and originated way, way back with Don Mollett's Healey Motor Works in Santa
Barbara, CA - where Bolton got them when he bought Don out) make all the
difference to the success of the installation, regardless of whose seals are
used.

Fortunately I have a scan that I can send on to anyone that needs it - it's
in Word format, but I really should re-scan it to PDF (that is if I can find
the original sheet!)

I'll attach it here for Mark and Steve - the list strips attachments, so all
others will have to request a copy be e-mailed.

Yesterday I had new Moss scuttle seals installed and am disappointed in how
they look. The "gutter" doesn't stay open but basically lies flat. There's
no way I can see these can be made to resemble the picture in
Anderson/Moment page 109.

Are there better ones available from other sources that anyone knows of?

The mailing lists should be working again as you've probably noticed

Still having issues with the forums, though now the error messages
are different.  I guess that's progress ;-)  And there are some
issues with the archives getting rebuilt.  What fun when switching
to all sorts of new software version, updated operating system, new

If you do have troubles with your subscriptions and the web interface
let me know, I'll work on getting things resolved.  Right now I think I'll

Rich,

I hope you receive this on the Healey list as my e-mails to
richchrysler at quickclic.net are not going through.

I plan to visit the auction preview tomorrow and will try to get the batch and
body number. On my BN1 these are on a plate to the right of the car number
plate on the firewall. Are they in the same place on a BN2? Probably will not
attend the auction on Saturday, but will see what I can do about identifying
the purchaser. Maybe I can sneak a "Join the AHCA" card into the door pocket.

  Hello all,



  Well we can clearly see the louvered bonnet but without the Heritage numbers
and data we can't tell if she's a factory M or not. Poor thing looks pretty
stripped down for racing with almost nothing across the firewall, and sporting
an alternator. Too bad we can't see the rest of the car. These pictures are
extremely limiting in their views. Just for the record, this car would have
been produced about December of '55.

  Jim, if you get over to see the car can you try to get the batch and body
number of the car and let me know. Also can we try to see who buys it and let
me know?

  Thanks and regards,

It needed restoration by a 16 year old.  I did all the body work
(fiberglass and bondo) and painted it myself.  For a compressor
I used a little airless compressor about the size of a football
and a $10 sprayer. The paint?  Sears enamel. I mixed their off-
the-shelf black with some off-the-shelf green until I got a hue
I liked.  It made for a nice 10-footer.

I did the interior with black carpeting, black trim, and white!

You need to rebuild your master cylinder. The gunk inside is the problem. And,
bleeding it will not solve the problem.
I also suggest you rebuild the brake master cylinder at the same time. There
is gunk in there too!!

Check the slave cylinder hose for softness and "ballooning", also the master
cylinder, it may be bypassing internally, getting ready to fail.

Have someone pump the pedal while you watch the fluid in the reservoir.  If the fluid goes up and down when the pedal 
fails, the 'foot valve' on the M/C is kaput--time for a rebuild.

Probably a faulty Master cylinder. Dismantle, clean thoroughly and 
inspect the bore. If the bore is perfectly smooth, rebuild with an 
overhaul kit (seal, cap etc.). If not you can try honing and rebuilding, 
however most will prefer to chuck it and fit a new one.

I restored my first car (1963 galaxy) I was 15 yrs. old and payed $25.00 for it. I worked on it every day after school for 6 months. I worked on it in a cold,damp,poorly lite 1 car garage with few hand tools,tiny air compressor,beat up sears spray gun and a bucket of bondo. I finished it (looked great!)  just before I got my driver's license (16 yrs old)............I was styling.
Now I have a fully insulated garage,heated, and every tool you can think of........................and after 5 years I am still working on a little car( that I could fit in the trunk of the Galaxy)  called a 1959 Austin Healey 100/6 .........????  :)  :)...........................lol

Confession:  In the late '60s, I bought my first Healey, a 100/6.
It needed restoration by a 16 year old.  I did all the body work
(fiberglass and bondo) and painted it myself.  For a compressor
I used a little airless compressor about the size of a football
and a $10 sprayer. The paint?  Sears enamel. I mixed their off-
the-shelf black with some off-the-shelf green until I got a hue
I liked.  It made for a nice 10-footer.

I did the interior with black carpeting, black trim, and white!
Naugahyde seats. I was stylin'. :)

Perhaps check with Restoration Specialties and Supply in Pennsylvania, they
have some check strap assemblies, three types actually that are very much like
that of a BN1, cannot recall which one is correct, check their online catalog
page 153 these are for Fords 1938 to 1948, they have three different length,
What they have is the arm with the rubber at the end, not sure if they have
the other part with the springs.

Noel needs the earlier check assembly that is used in conjunction with the
flat alloy hinges and the built up weldments on the forward door casing.
These were used on all BN1's up to end of August '54, to Body 5000. This is
also when they went from the 160000 chassis numbers to the 210000 series
unified numbers. They are also nothing like the 6 cylinder checks.

There is also a Austin Healey paint chip book produced by Donald
ikovnik, the  " Vintage Colour Resister", that shows the Healey ( big
nd little ) color chip and also givers the ICI off-set color code.
CI is AkzoNobel / Sherwan Williams . These books were produced in the
ineties at about a Hundred plus a copy. There are a couple of copies
unning around NEOAHC. One of which is I own. NEOAHC members are
elcome to look up a color here at my shop. I will not lend it out!
PG can take the ICI code and give you an off-set to their paint.
Water based paints are  NOT mandated yet in hold in Ohio and there is
till a chance it will not ever happen.

Some people nowadays use rustoleum and foam rollers for what's called the
