OMG. I have one in my storage cabinet in the box that I got on eBay a couple
of years ago for about twenty bucks.

Hi all,

To start off the year on a good note here is another Healey (1958 100-Six, 
BN6L755)  just back on the road after 21 years.
Back in 1989 the brakes were a wee bit shawdy so I started taking pieces off 
the car and before I knew it
a full blown restoration was underway. New sills, outriggers, floors, engine 
rebuild, rust removal, panel repairs.
Crap, I was in over my head, financially and skill wise. School, other cars, 
overseas work, houses, a wife and kids all conspired over the years
to slow the rebuild but it continued in fits and starts and finally it is 
complete....?
It's only trip so far is up and down the back lane and it will hibernate 
until spring when it can be really called 'back on the road'.
Everything is back to original including the brakes, which still are a wee 
bit shawdy.

Please visit the photo site below if you think a rebuild of a stock 100 Six 
is of interest.

Happy New Year to you all.

Just to share something.......

 

I've recently wired 12 volt bulbs into the brake/indicator lighting in my
MII BT7's rear reflectors. Since the rubber backing was probably original
and pretty grotty, I bought a new pair. I took these apart, expecting them
to be pretty much the same as the originals. Well, they were and, mostly,
the parts were interchangeable. But - and I think it's a BIG BUT - there was
no reflective foil in the new pair.

 

Correct me on the physics if I'm wrong, but I presume that the car behind's
light beams go into the reflectors, hit the foil and come back as a nice
little red reflected glow. Bit like a mirror? So, if there's no foil, the
light hits the black rubber and stays there? Seems likely to me. Seems that
a reflector without foil is about as practical as a chocolate teapot??

 

Our cars are none too visible at night with everything 100%. Something to
think about?? I've emailed the supplier and await a response.

 

Any comments out there?

You could install the reflective material yourself.

Simon -

All the new plastic reflectors don't have the foil.  Some are painted
silver on the back, but usually the modern plastic has an angle of
incidence whereby the light, when it strikes the triangular back, is
reflected back out again.  Take the reflector a check it at night with
a flashlight, you'll be surprised.  You likely don't need the foil
there.

This is something that has puzzled me for some time. A while back there was
a thread about a book on how LBCs worked. As soon as someone mentioned it,
the price for used copies zoomed to over $200. We discussed the same thing
here about the Moment/Anderson book.

The same thing happened with a cook book that my wife wanted me to get as a
present for a new bride. Several years ago I got one for her  for $14..95
on Amazon. This time when I looked there were three used copies. One for
$24.95, one for $176, and one for $179. Barnes and Noble had a used one for
$345! When Looked at the book it was a small paperback that sold for $6.95
in 1983! The publisher no longer exists.


Do folks really think someone will pay that much? Back when I was a Lionel
train collector I was visiting a book store that specialized in
transportation literature and notice an instruction sheet for a Lionel
accessory that was still available at hobby shops. The price was twice the
cost of the accessory. When I pointed out to the clerk that you could by
the accessory including instruction sheet for less than his price for his
instruction sheet, he said "someone will eventually buy it."

Is that the secret of these prices, or are the sellers just hoping to catch
some unknowing person?

 "Is that the secret of these prices, or are the sellers just hoping to

 Jack."

I think that must be it, and I think you are right I am seeing more of it 
too, from books to model trains (which I also dabble in) to cars, if 
something is no longer made it seems like more and more people are deciding 
it is (or at least maybe someone will think it is) rare and valuable.

My brother and I have owned many box Sprites over the years, a few weeks ago 
I sent him an internet listing for a mid sixties Sprite they were asking 
$10,000 for, there was nothing special about the car, it was not restored to 
a high standard, looked like it had merely been refurbished and repaired 
here and there over the years, which made the price extraordinary enough, 
but then as you read the description the owner admitted "it didn't run", as 
the kids would say OMG LOL.

I think with the advent of the internet it is so easy to cheaply list 
anything for sale to a wide audience that some just put things out there and 
say what the heck, its a ridiculous price, but maybe somebody will pay it.

It boggles my mind, because with the advent of the internet you can also 
research value and shop for the best deal pretty easily.

Happy new year to all.

I saw a discussion about this on a message board a while back.
In that particular case it was a book that had zoomed in price to over
$1,200.00.
It turned out there were two sellers that had a copy.  They each had a
robot program that repriced their book based on what the other sellers had
it for.
As I recall one seller has his robot to up the price by 35% or so, and the
other seller had his set to undercut the other sellers by a few percent.
 Someone got a copy of the price raises and each one was exactly the same
percent for each seller.
The net result was over time a 6 dollar book was listed for an obscene
amount of $

My parking brake - even though the rear drums are adjusted to drag slightly - has always barely caught in an almost 
vertical position. Not anywhere close to the "3-clicks up" position as desired.

In the process of installing my Supra W58 tranny, I discovered the internal mount for the handbrake lever was broken - 
the weld had come loose from the frame x-member, allowing quite a lot of free rotation before the lever caught.

I made a clamp-on reinforcing bracket and now the brake functions just like emergency brakes on other cars - it'll 
definitely hold the car on a hill.

Just a FWIW.

earlier, the price of the book went up to $23,698,655.93.
Twenty three million dollars for a book about flies.

That explains why I bought a book from a new vendor which never arrived. I
finally got my money back, and the vendor was kicked off Amazon.

Brad -

If it is a '63 shroud, that means it is from a BJ7.  This shroud will
be shorter because the dash is different on a BJ7.

If it's a '64, then it's probably from a BJ8 (unless it's a US model
year '64, then it could be from a BJ7).  All BJ8 shrouds are the same
length and size, the only difference is an additional mount for the
separate parking / indicator light on the front shroud, other than
that they should be identical.

By the way, let me know if you would be willing to sell the left front
quarter of the shroud to me after you are done chopping up your
shrouds.  At some point on my BJ8 this part was replaced with a clip
from a BT7 or BN6 and the grill openings and the part above the grill
are different on the earlier sixes.

Best,

Alan

Absolutely no difference in overall lengths within the convertibles, for
instance where fenders bolt up, bonnet openings, etc. Of course single lamp
vs. twin lamp changes, but not any of the sizes to fit the structure of the
car.

Alan and Brad, 

Again, no difference in the shroud on BJ7 vs. BJ8. The dash is different but
it doesn't affect the shroud. The deeper spaced wrap around convertible
windscreen assembly is what makes the difference and it sits in exactly the
same contour on all convertibles, which is where it differs from the 6
cylinder roadsters.

Rich is right, I was wrong on that.  I forgot that the BJ7 uses the
same padded dash top as the BJ8.  For a second I thought it used the
earlier short dash top.

Whether BJ7 or BJ8, it should be fine length wise.

Best,

Stephen, I don't know whether you are installing a new grille in the
console, or removing one that is already there.  If installing a new one, I
put my speaker grille in the console with small washers over the tabs before
prying the legs of the tabs apart with a flat blade screwdriver enough to
snug up the washers to secure the grille.  It isn't necessary to spread the
tab legs far enough to break them off.  The washer technique also makes it
possible to remove the grille if desired without having to risk breaking off
the tabs.

I picked one up at Radio Shack.  It's been a long time so I have no idea what the part# was; just get one close to the 
correct size, and I think they're 8ohm impedance (most speakers, etc. are).  Change the terminals on the wires if 
necessary.   IIRC mounting was not a problem.

Greg -

I am sure there are better experts on the list, but I have seen the
original factory radio set ups and it consists of a special radio with
an oval speaker mounted to the top of the radio.  Needless to say
there is no modern equivalent.  There are, however, many sizes of car
speakers available and you can usually find one that is a rough
approximation.

Note that most of the cars in the US were fitted with US radios by
dealers, so some dealer installed radios won't even have the speaker
on top....

Best,

Alan

Greg,
The speaker bracket that come with a radio that I have is for a speaker that
is round and much larger than the grill shape. The bracket is attached to the
radio via two holes for the radio knob shafts to pass through. The bracket
goes up and tilts away from the speaker grill a bit.

IIRC--don't have the cert handy--my BJ8's BMIHT cert stated 'radio' as part of the equipment list (along with the extravagant stuff like 'heater'). It's a 'BMC' radio.

The overall length of the BJ7 and BJ8 shrouds are the same. The  
differences are at the rear of the shroud where the windshield sits  
and at the front depending on which lights are on the car.

I neglected to add that further down on the Literature page is a price list
for accessories for the BN6 which shows a push button radio at 39 pounds
which was about one half of the price of adding the Overdrive so it was
pretty pricey.

Stephen:  I recently did this on my BJ8.  I wound up breaking one of the 
split pins on the radio grille surround in spite of being very careful when 
removing it.  (this is called the 'speaker fret' in the factory parts book). 
In addition, the speaker grille part had seen better days (this is called 
the 'fret - speaker' in the book).  I simply replaced both parts.  The new 
bits were excellent - I have seen some that were crap.  I sourced them from 
Bob Yule at Autofarm in Ontario.  They were not horribly expensive.

Actually it was the speaker grille, not the chrome strips, that is
held on with bent tabs.

Perry:  Welcome to the mainland, by the way. I've pasted in a copy of a 
listing of, I believe, Smiths parts numbers that was circulated years ago - 
can't remember who did it, or I'd credit him.  I think it's pretty reliable 
as far as the factory supplied radios are concerned.  I can't find any BMC 
parts numbers for radios.  Of course, a lot of the North American cars had 
other radios fitted by the dealers.  I have a Radiomobile 972T for my '67, 
which was sold new in the US and still works - push button AM only.  I have 
a couple of photos of the original assembled radio / cardboard speaker mount 
set up if anyone is interested.

Taking off from the original console question. Maybe someone can look this 
one
up. Is there a listing for a factory part number for a radio?  I have always
been under the assumption that all radios (and speaker) where added by the
dealer. I understand that not all cars were delivered to a dealer but I 
don't
remember seeing a part number. I don't have access to my BJ8 parts books
presently. Thanks

All - I have an original Radiomobile model 972T radio / speaker set-up for 
my BJ8.  At some point in the past, I hade to replace the speaker part - the 
paper was pretty torn up.  I went to an electronics parts supplier - this 
was before Radio shack was common, and had no trouble finding a replacement 
speaker to fit the cardboard mount.  I don't know if the radio was factory 
or dealer installed, but it works on the North American frequency, rather 
than the European.  I have photos of it out of the car if anyone is 
interested.

Greg -

I am sure there are better experts on the list, but I have seen the
original factory radio set ups and it consists of a special radio with
an oval speaker mounted to the top of the radio.  Needless to say
there is no modern equivalent.  There are, however, many sizes of car
speakers available and you can usually find one that is a rough
approximation.

Note that most of the cars in the US were fitted with US radios by
dealers, so some dealer installed radios won't even have the speaker
on top....

Best,

Alan

A better way to go may be to buy the one from Charlie Hart hartcg at msn.com It
holds six fuses and fits the existing mounting holes. See my write up on the
Technical page, My Modifications section of my site for the way that I wired
mine. Goes on in about 10 minutes including time spent wiring it.

I have an MGB fuse box in my BT7 but had to use one or two metal screws for
obvious reasons.
The screw heads look the same so not a huge deal.

May be a little late but hear goes.

As I understand, the radio was a common add-on at the dealers and in the US
Motorola was probably the most common supplied with the BJ8.  My 64BJ8P1 was
dealer (Pontiac/Austin Healey) ordered with a radio and delivered with only
the antenna.  After a few weeks of dealing with a confused dealer, I made a
complaint and visit to the US importer/distributor located in northern NJ and
was provided with a BMC AM transistor positive ground push button radio with a
clear plastic face plate with bBritish Motor Corporation stamp below the
numbers.  After having changed to negative ground, the radio has been on the
shelf in case I ever convert back.  Examining the radio, all paper stickers
were lost over the years and there was no manufacturer stamped into the metal.
A very faint outline that may have come from an original sticker seems to be
bLong Ten_e S28750b.

Good luck with your search,
Ray Carbone (64BJ8P1)

Simon,

Don't know why you want to go with the Prince of Darkness when there are so
many other options. I got a fuse block using blade fuses rather than
cartridges. ties4less.com has a number of ones on his web site at
reasonable prices. No interest other than being a happy customer.Brian is a
great guy. I really don't care if my car looks original, just that it is
dependable.

I bought an assortment of relays, terminals, and a fuse block and set a
talented wrench to revising the wiring. Did a great job including making
wire looms that look original.

One thing I did was to put a 72 amp relay in the circuit rather than taking
the fuse block feed from the ignition wire. That way all the circuits that
turn on when the ignition is hot go through a heavy wire from the relay
connected to the battery terminal on the starter relay. The possibilities
are endless.

Before you start follow John Sims advice and look at his excellent website
for ideas. It is full of great ideas to steal.

Ken,

Interesting.  I bought a radio and speaker from a list member with that exact set up. He could not say if the bracket was standard, just that it was what his car came with. I assumed it was non-standard, i.e.: non-authentic, and the speaker mounted directly to the back of the console. Which is why I asked about model numbers because if it did mount directly to the console, it would be an odd, oblong shape, what 2" by 8", or so.

In general, were there "Standard" Healey speaker mounts or regional or all over the place because they were all fabricated by the local dealer? 

Basically, what's authentic?

Greg

Manufactures quickly discovered that it was foolish to pay import duties on
radios when there were a number of US manufacturers willing to supply them.
I have a Motorola on the shelf with the British Leyland logo on the dial
plate. Automatic Electric was another big manufacturer of radios for our
cars. Many aftermarket radios could be mounted in the place were radios
were supposed to go.

The problem is that when our cars were new, speakers were a standard 5"X7".
With the advent of higher powered radios the standard became 6"X9". 5X7
speakers are no longer manufactured. Perhaps the folks that advertise radio
repair for classic cars have a source, but I wouldn't use them with a
modern high powered radio.

You can get a smaller square speaker and make some sort of adapter that
will work as well as a 5X7.They are designed to be used with more power
than the old speakers.

Since no one has addressed vintage antennas, I will. The low cost ones are
exactly the same as I was installing in 1954. They haven't changed. I
haven't needed one for years, but the last time I bought one they were
$9.95 a Walmart.

Jack,

Vintage speakers are available on eBay both used and NOS. Another option
is to have the original speaker reconed, as the frame and magnet are
usually good. Reconing is more expensive than buying a good used or NOS
(sometimes) speaker, but better modern materials are used and it will
last longer than you!!

I have ordered from onlinecarstereo.com a couple times and been happy with 
the products and service, you can find pretty much anything on there 
website, here is a 5 x 7" (the size mentioned as original I think) speaker 
for $15, no doubt better than OEM.

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_25804_Boss_Audio_BRS5768.aspx

or a two way 5 x 7" if you want to get fancy:

http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_17628_SoundStorm_F257.aspx

Lots and lots of other options there too.

Very interesting. Technically Hemmings owns the photo because they did the
photography for an article on the car a couple years ago. I can use the photos
(and others they shot) for my personal use.

I'll pass this on to Hemmings and if they have a problem with it, they can
deal with it. But I may drop the seller a note also!  :-)

I had a problem a few years ago that I was selling some old framed ads for cars of the 60s on Ebay and a couple of them were of Cobras and other Shelby cars.  All of a sudden Ebay takes them down and I got a cease and desist from Shelby America.  I did later negotiate a "Donation" so I could sell those ads if I wanted to, but Shelby was saying even though the ads were from national magazines, they still were trying to say they owned the rights to them.  Don't know if you or Hemmings would be able to say the same...

I knew of John Nikas' Quixotic trip across country and back from posts on
the List, but the story in this month's Austin Healey Magazine was amazing.
I am not prone to high emotion, but I cried through most of the story.  I
lost my mom to lung cancer 3 years ago next month.
Our community of "nuts" is fantastic. The help offered along the road was
wonderful.
John, could you add Jane Erbs to your car for me?

As many of you must have noticed, the folks who produce the Moss Motors

poor Healey. There certainly is quite a contrast, illustrating the great job

It fits to the lid.  Works better that way to keep it all dry.

Keith,
 
The boot lid seal on all big Healeys should glue to the inner perimeter of
the lid. Do not fit it to the gutter of the shroud. 
Think of it this way:
How efficient would the rain gutters on your house be if they were filled
with a molded rubber filler? The water would have no path to follow to drain
away.

Hey folks,

 Anyone have a pair of serviceable top latches for a BT7 they could part

They are not readily available through the usual sources and may only exist

Fwiw I was also confused and installed it on the shroud and not the lid. Not
correct as I was told much later but works OK on my BN7 after several years.

I have a complete used BT7 top I was hoping to sell as a complete unit to
someone who needs the wood, and assorted bits.
Let me figure out a fair price. I know the Nocks have new ones

I did not follow this thread too closely but from what I can see in 
the catalogs you may be reading the illustration incorrectly. The 
majority of the illustrations these companies use are from the 
original parts books. When I looked at the boot seal catalog pictures 
the seal is shown in the same orientation as the open boot lid near 
it in the picture; nearly vertical. The part's orientation is often 
the clue when trying to figure out where a part goes.

The only guides worth having are roger moment's restoration book and the
concours guidelines.  Add to that roger moment's 30 part series in the Austin
Healey club magazine and of course the factory parts book.

With these four documents you will have, arguably, the most complete and
comprehensive set of restoration documents for any classic car of any make in
the world.  Even E-type and MGB owners don't have resources quite like this.

Alan

Listers,

At this years Monterrey/Pebble Beach events I received several very nice
compliments from both the Jaguar and MG Concours folks.  They are very
impressed with our Concours guidelines even though my friends in the Jaguar
have a hard time understanding how we can spend an hour or more judging a
car while they take a maximum of 20 minutes.  The MG folks came very close
to adopting a similar set of guidelines, and would have succeeded if not
for one individual who sabotaged their efforts.

However, to those unfamiliar, the Guidelines are just that... there to
hopefully fill in the gaps that are not covered in other publications.

Cheers,

Curt

Hello ListersOne of the US National clubs - either AHCA or AHC-USA used to
periodically publish an informal value guide for all models based on a "one

Richard, take a look at this product. I have it in the BJ8 we tour with and
one of the 100's.

http://www.lobucrod.com/

Not the cheapest out there but I can drive the BJ8 or 100 with sandals in 95 -
100 degree temps and not get hot feet. Waterproof and will not burn.

NFI just very happy with the product.

Richard,

I have used FatMat on my two Healeys and a Mercury.

Price point is great too.

Very satisfied with the results.

Good luck.

Subject: [Healeys] Hood latch
Message-ID: <000001cccd28$022be9c0$0683bd40$@lachlan@homecall.co.uk>

When I was looking for my spare BT7 hood latches for Dave yesterday, I had
to dig pretty deep. I got to the layer of stuff that was in the boot when I
bought the car from John Chatham's some 15 or so yrs ago. You know what I
mean.....that accumulated heap of detritus that "may be useful one day". One
knows that it's junk but are convinced that the minute one throws something
out, it will turn out to have been pure gold.

Anyhow, I extracted a hood latch unlike anything on my car and determined
that it never had nor ever would have any use to me. I propose to ditch it
tomorrow unless anyone wants it. I'd be ashamed to throw away something
useful. Photo provided if you want. The latch would be free. Only pay
postage. There's also some other part which looks vaguely hood latch-like
too, but it may not be.

So, there you have it.

Richard,

I dug up my results of heat reduction test after installing FatMat in the
BN7. 
This was done last summer using a digital infrared thermometer. I live in
Atlanta.

I think the biggest heat culprits are air leaks from the engine bay through
the firewall and heat convection through the firewall, toeboxes and fresh
air ducts.

Check out the firewall temp reduction.
See below:

Before:                                              After

 
Outside Air Temp - 96                               same
Engine Temp - 170                                   same
Exhaust Manifold - 300+                             same
Firewall Temp - 122                                 107
 
I ended up retrofitting it all the way up the firewall to the shroud.  I
covered the box shaped air duct that runs from side to side, as well.  I
completely covered both toe boxes and recessed areas for pedal assembly too.


(I had already done the floorboards, transmission tunnel and rear bulkhead
years ago)

What is the best product out there for a heat and sound barrier? I know this
has been much discussed in the past. But, I was not interested back then -
and
I have not been able to find the thread in the archives.

Subject: Lizzard skin



Hi Rich
I just applied this to my 61 Healey 3000 Rally Replica
www.lizardskin.com

This product is unbelieveable. It can be applied with a splatter gun or one
that body men use to spray on thick undercoat or stone chip film on the
rockers of modern cars.
Lizard skin is on ebay out of Texas, summit racing out of Akron, Ohio
(www.summitracing.com)  search lizard skin, You may also buy it from the
factory.

There are two types 1 is in the dark can it is sound deadner sprays on
There other 2. is ceramic lizard skin it is a heat deflector.

I have had this sprayed on the under carriage of my car and under the drivers
seat and lower firewall near the muffler position.
It can be spray painted and looks great with paint on it.
Amount to use one gallon of each $89.00--105.00 each I think the ceramic heat
shield in the white bucket is a little more expensive.

Please (contact me if you want a first hand report on this stuff )  (I'm not a
sales person just a Healey lover)
pretty cool (also see www.youtube.com)
search (Lizard skin demo)

Much easier than dynamat

Richard:  Yes, there has been much discussion and numerous recommendations. 
Personally, I am using a foil/foam heating/AC duct product available at home 
improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowes.  It is self-adhesive, foil 
backed dense foam, 12 inches wide, 1/8 inch thick, 15 feet long, and costs 
less than $20.00 per roll.

I covered both the inside and outside of the tyranny tunnel and can not feel 
any heat being transmitted in that area.

Can not comment on sound barrier.  When it get too noisy (is that possible? 
;-)  ), I can just turn off my hearing aids.  That is seldom necessary, 
however, as I love all the sounds that I am hearing from my car.

Some years ago there was a thread on this and many recommended a heat proof
coating for Char-Broil Smokers Item 418 6119. It came in a roll and was
available at Home Depot. They told me that Char-Broil was thinking of
discontinuing this product so I bought all of their stock (two rolls - HA!).
Anyway, I lined my tranny tunnel with it and it is great. Probably have the
same type of product at a BBQ store. One caveat is that it is pre-cut for
doors, etc. on a smoker but with all of the curves, etc on the bottom side
of the tunnel, this is not a problem as I had to put the liner on with
several small pieces.

 I used dynamat Extreme and am satisfied.  Tary side sticks to floor or 
where ever, and the heat shield faces up.  Works well as sound deadening in 
doors too.  Also put it inside the trany tunnel.  This stuff is pretty darn 
permanent so think twice and stick once.

I bought a box from Eastwood online for 98.00 or 198.00 sorry can't remember 
exactly.  You'd have to check out the web sight. Plenty to cover all the car 
floor and plenty  left over for doors
and tunnel.

Message-ID: <DC4165BA-CAA4-4A54-80CD-2B252A4FCD51@jcomm.uoregon.edu>

On a drive today, a friend's oil flex pipe, the braid-covered hose  
leading from the crankcase to the oil pressure gauge tube, ruptured  
resulting in a catastrophic oil leak.
Fortunately, we discovered the problem early and stopped and secured  
the car after losing only several quarts of oil.

We have topped up the oil, but need to move the car 4-5 miles to a  
location where we can replace the ruptured pipe.
The break  is in about the middle of the flex pipe.

Can we simply clamp off the tube below (engine side of) the break with  
a hose clamp or vice grips in order to drive the car a short distance  
for repair?

Thanks for your help.

Charlie -

the only purpose of that pipe is to measure pressure.  It only feeds
into a dead end.  Go ahead a clamp it off.  vise grips should do the
trick.

Bob:  After looking at that several times without seeing the problem, I had a
talk with Dr. Freud.  He told me get a better spell checker.  Believe it or
not I had used the spell checker (it's automatic when I click "Send").  I had
typed "trany".  That was not included.  Not being careful enough, I mistook
"tyranny" for "tranny".  Oh, well.  Y not?  Reading some of the problems
reported on The List, maybe tyranny is the correct word after all.

"Sketches were worked on with the styling being their first concern.
Influenced by their love of the Austin Healey 3000 and a desire for a
slipstreamed shape, the Wiesmann roadster took shape on paper during the
 late
1980s."

staring oil is not  a great idea.
Try to find an oil tolerant tape to wrap the hose or break it loose, put a
section of hose with two hose clamps over the ruptured section.
Or pay for a tow. find  a friend with a AAA card.... not worth screwing
with your bottom end...

With 5 litres under the bonnet, this subject has a special interest for me. 
If I was looking for the easiest, cost no object solution, I'd go with the
pre-cut Kool Mat option: http://www.koolmat.com/british.shtml  As has been
said, sound insulation and heat insulation are two different matters.  I'm
more concerned about heat.  Like Len, a lifetime of loud rock, guns, and high
performance motors with no exhausts have rendered sound protection moot, but I
still can feel hot feet.  LizardSkin looks like a great, but somewhat pricey,
solution.  Basically, it's ceramic "micro balloons" suspended in a paint
product.  I made my own DIY version that you can see on my Nasty Boy build on
my sig.  I also did the low-buck big box insulation using Reflectix as shown
in the build link as well.  Another popular cheap insulation in the hot rod
community is this LowE closed cell insulation from Lowbucrod:
http://www.lobucrod.com/  So far, I'm happy with my
 alternatives, but I've only driven it in November in New England, which
probably isn't much of a test.

Richard:  Yes, there has been much discussion and numerous recommendations.
Personally, I am using a foil/foam heating/AC duct product available at home
improvement stores such as Home Depot or Lowes.  It is self-adhesive, foil
backed dense foam, 12 inches wide, 1/8 inch thick, 15 feet long, and costs
less than $20.00 per roll.

I covered both the inside and outside of the tyranny tunnel and can not feel
any heat being transmitted in that area.

Can not comment on sound barrier.  When it get too noisy (is that possible?
;-)  ), I can just turn off my hearing aids.  That is seldom necessary,
however, as I love all the sounds that I am hearing from my car.

Almost any product will reduce sound & heat some what, however in my opinion
no one product is best at doing both. Sound is generally treated with a dense
product. Heat generally requires a lot of small air spaces to retard
transmission (conduction) of heat & a reflective surface to reduce radiant
heat. Pathways (holes) must be plugged to reduce convection of heat. Generally
speaking, there is a limited space in which the materials can be installed.
I.E. On top of the floor board & under the carpet. How thick of insulation can
you tolerate? Personally, I choose to use the limited space for thermal
treatment & not sound. Dense materials like Dynamat are not very good thermal
barriers. Ever notice how hard it is to get certified thermal conductivity
information from any of the suppliers of this type of product? Also, thermally
speaking, what good does it do the put the reflective surface on the passanger
side of the insulation?

The period of time when the engine mounting holes to the engine were slotted
diagonally was on the earlier Longbridge built BN4. Therefore they were not
handed and could be mounted on either side and had the same part number.
Later they decided to make the mounting holes round instead of slotted, and
to achieve the necessary degree of engine tilt back, they were now
specifically handed and were clearly stamped L/H and R/H on the vertical
face between upper and lower holes.

Subject: [Healeys] list
Message-ID: <437.d9aeaf9.3c3b2a6a@aol.com>

I save list mail quite often as I find the tips and links here extremely  
valuable. But this time when I was booted off the list, it wasn't easy to get 
 back on and I still haven't found out why I was booted. I tried to post 
letters  to the list for awhile, only to be told that since I didn't have 
access to the  list, my emails would be held until the "moderator" would give me 
the yay or  nay. I never heard anything back from the moderator, so I guess 
those emails  were either left out in the internet void, or are still 
sitting in some inbox  waiting to be judged.
    I then followed the instructions given by the  website on how to 
subscribe to the list through email, only to get return emails  that 
_healey at autox.net_ (mailto:healey at autox.net)  doesn't exist! Sorry  we can't find that 
forum and we have no record of it! Thinking this is crazy, as  I've been 
sending emails and receiving emails from this list for years,  something must be 
wrong, so I would try again and the same thing would happen!  Frustrating. 
    So after many tries and no satisfaction, I went  back to the website, 
from the address I had in my saved mail from the list and  found a different 
way in and it worked! And so after all I went through trying  to get back 
on, I thought I would help someone else with the shortcut and not do  the run 
around dance that I just went through. Just trying to help out. 
    So believe it or not, but it wasn't easy to get  back here and now that 
I have, I'm going to try my darndest to stay. This list  keeps me informed, 
keeps me entertained and sometimes I hope that what I post  even helps 
someone else as it always seems I am on the receiving end of advice  and/or 
tips, because of the vast and superior knowledge I have encountered here.  It's 
not quite Schindler's List, "The list is life!", but it's close for me and  
has helped me keep my car on the road and that's something I never want to  
lose.
    So Ed, Happy New Year right back at cha', hope your  stay in the 
hospital was short and successful and if you ever get booted off the  list for any 
reason and get a bit frustrated trying to jump through hoops just  to get 
back on, save this email with my address, as you can contact me and I  will 
help you anyway I can to get you back on this wonderful list we have.

Didn't he finish his 3000 resto, keep it for only a short while, sell it and
move on? Of course, he may be a quiet lurker only nowadays. Pity if he's
gone as he was a nice bloke.

Haven't heard anything from Kees Oudeslys (sp?) lately. He was a regular and
well-informed contributor; wonder if he got bumped off the List. Hopefully,
nothing (else) bad has happened to him. 

Anyone know what's up with him?

All is well here. I have been thrown of the list for a while (no idea 
why) but I rejoined a week or so ago. Apparently this happened to 
several "foreigners".
I wish you all a very prosperous 2012.

I imagine that Ed is referring to the fact that EACH and EVERY healey 
message
for quite some time has had the following line it near the bottom:

    http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys


Seems to me that would be a good place to start if you have list
troubles.

Hi Siman,
I think you mix that up with Jack Aeckerlin. Jack did a very detailed BJ8
restoration, but unfortunately sold his car later on. Kees Oudehuis had no
Austin-Healey as far as I know. He owned a Jensen Healey amongst other cars.
But can`t tell you what happened to him.

By the way, I am *finally* doing some updating of www.team.net to reflect
the use of mailman as the list software, not the old majordomo.  Actually
I think there are still a few lists I have not yet migrated.  Maybe I'll 
work
on that during breaks in the Steelers game.

By the way, I am *finally* doing some updating of www.team.net to reflect
the use of mailman as the list software, not the old majordomo.  Actually
I think there are still a few lists I have not yet migrated.  Maybe I'll work
on that during breaks in the Steelers game.

Naw, I don't get that wrapped up in football, no violent reactions to a 
losing game.
I have some beers in the fridge to cry into, though I wish I had a 
bottle of good
single malt or my favorite bourbon, Woodford Reserve.  A wee nip would 
be nice.
But this isn't the single-malt list.

As for plasma?  Right.  I actually have an ancient 19 analog set with 
just a roof
mounted antenna.  My wife and I don't watch much television, maybe some 
evening
news during dinner and occasional specials.  I do watch some shows on my 
computer
like old Rifleman, Bat Masterson, McHale's Navy as well as more current 
offerings like
Hell's Kitchen, Iron Chef and some other cooking related shows.  Too 
much time
whacking on Team.Net to get in much TV!

Thanks to all for your valuable input.  I am restoring (a resto mod) my 1954
Jag MK 7,  401 Buick nailhead V-8, Vintage Air A/C, all GM running gear,
steering, brakes and suspension. I have owned it and driven it for the last 27
years. I have towed my race-car behind this beast for many years in the 90's
and even ended up in Classic and Thoroughbred Cars magazine about 15 years ago
as their featured tow vehicle in one month's issue. I want my baby to be as
quite and comfortable as a modern car in it's latest incarnation.
It appears that I will have to use a combination of both thermal and acoustic
products to achieve these goals. Thank you all for your assistance.

Happy New Year, 

I was off the list early this week/year thanks to a broken
computer. (needed partial restoration)

Follow up on my 100 BN2 engine
re-starting process.  Engine sat for 20 years after a rebuild by the PO
(mythical figure) and a restoration that never finished.  It ran perfectly
fine 8.5 years ago when I bought the car after a check-up and rebuild of
carbs/dist.  Then I disassembled the car and started a full restoration about
6-7 years ago...

Fast forward:  Charlie Hart came by last friday with an
external oil pump.  You might know Charlie from his long yearly road-trip
adventures he posts as BLU HLY or from his technical excellence.  We both live
on the far north side of the SoCal Healey club and I take every opportunity to
learn from him.  The oil pump is made with a 1/2 drill, a love-joy coupler, a
gear pump, a pressure regulator and gauge, tubing and an adaptor that fits on
a spin-on filter adaptor.  We pumped a quart of Valvoline VR1 Racing oil at 40
psi till slow drips came from all the rockers.  Charlie's setup is excellent
for this job.  Now as far as we can tell bearings are lubricated before the
engine actually turns over.  The engine will go in the car later this week.
Photo of the oil pump and engine at: http://www.austin-healey.org/node/4943
Big thanks to Charlie for all his help.

Message-ID: <CAGhWe-ez_hsHTyJBd+itCyNU0iLwemsPbXuSO1B83Pb72WyHCw@mail.gmail.com>

I recently discovered how easy it was to add a fuel pump switch and thought
it was a good idea.

However, why not put it in the switched hot lead to shut off whatever goes
hot when the ignition is turned on?

As I recently mentioned, the switched hot lead only closes a relay which
then powers the added fuse block. I don't see a current problem, but just
wondering why it isn't generally done.

Was it this list the mentioned Lizardskin?  I haven't used it, NFI, 
etc., but it may be worth looking into.

Inertia switches are usually used in racing situations where in the event
of a crash power to the fuel pump is shut off.  You can also install a
low-oil pressure switch so that in case the engine is shut down the fuel
pump is not energized and that will accomplish much the same thing.

All new  cars since about 1980 have had a way to shut off the fuel in  
case of an accident if the car was equipped with an electric fuel  
pump. Most have an inertia switch in the power side going to the fuel  
pump relay, they usually are mounted on the inside kick panel behind  
the upholstery trim.

Most inertia switches will have a button on the top the will pop up  
in an accident or hard impact to the car somewhere. This could be  
anything from an accident to a large pot hole in our wonderful roads.
The power to the fuel pump or fuel pump relay will go thru the  
inertia switch and when the switch is tripped it will cut the power  
to the fuel pump. Inertia switches are installed on a solid part of  
the chassis usually inside on the inner kick panel for access.

This could also be used as a security device when parking our  
Healey's. You could wire the power to the fuel pump as well as the  
power to the ignition coil thru an inertia switch mounted up under  
the dash. When you park the car and want it to be secured somewhat  
raise the button on the inertia switch and the car will not start.

All new cars since about 1980 have had a way to shut off the fuel in 
case of an accident if the car was equipped with an electric fuel 
pump. Most have an inertia switch in the power side going to the fuel 
pump relay, they usually are mounted on the inside kick panel behind 
the upholstery trim.

When I installed a backup fuel pump in my BJ8, I also wired in a used
inertia (rollover) switch from an MGB to cut power to both pumps in case of
rollover.  As David says, pulling up the switch manually serves as another
security measure to keep power from the pumps.  Once pulled up, the switch
stays there until pushed down again.  I mounted the switch to the heater
duct under the dash.

I've been told by a MG mechanic that the MGB rollover switch does tend 
to leak in it's old age and have bypassed the one in our 80 MG.

David Nock - any experience one way or the other?

On the MGB there are two switches. There is an electrical switch that shuts
off the electricity, then there is a mechanical roll over switch that is in
the fuel line. The mechanical switches do have a problem with leaking

Has anyone used the Caswell electroless nickel plating kit from Caswell?  I
have a number of small parts that I would like to have that look of nickel
rather than the look of zinc.

Dick,

I've been using Caswell's Copy Cad for many years and it's an excellent
home plating kit... HOWEVER, it takes some skill, practice, and patience to
get the results you want.  Follow the directions as written, take your
time, and be meticulously clean and you should get professional results.

Cheers,

Curt

because 
it is not connected. 


Several attempts to wire to operate the tach

While doing a little more digging on early 100-Six racing, I found a
list of many SCCA races listing the entrants along with car for 1957
(LOTS of Healeys).  If you follow this link
http://wsrp.wz.cz/natus1957.html#179 , it lists La Ruth Bostic driving
a 100-6 in 3 races at Riverside in 1957
 
I decided to see who she was I came across this link

 referring to a LaRuth Bostic (slightly different spelling) as being

Does anyone know about this, its an interesting and notable piece of

Unless Pertronix has changed the Ignitor design in the 8-10 years since I installed mine, it will work with a Smiths electronic tach on a pos-ground car. Mine works fine and, in fact, since I calibrated it is absolutely spot on accurate and stable. Hard to believe, I know, but it is as verified by my Sears dwell-tach and by inference with the GPS/speedometer/gearing/etc. 

All I recall doing was reversing the loop formed by the white wire on the back of the tach, but I might have rerouted the white wire. Sorry, I don't have a schematic, but the thing to think about is the Ignitor switches battery current to the coil--you have to provide an alternative ground to the coil (I used the notorious battery cutoff switch and white/black coil ground wire moved to a different terminal on the switch)--whereas points make and break a circuit to ground from the coil. The tach is probably (has to be) wired in series with the coil and the points, so you may (probably) have to change the routing of the white wire. I did not remove any wires from my harness; just rerouted them so that I can easily go back to points in an emergency. 

The loop on the back of the tach is an inductive pickup. If switched current flows through the wire--with the proper polarity--the tach will work. The needle on the tach moves in proportion to the frequency of the current pulses (in effect, it is a simple frequency counter). Not that I doubt a reputable outfit like Nisonger, but the Ignitor I ('one') is hardly more than an electronic points set (with some inductive-capacitive circuitry to even out 'dwell').

I've known a number of people (myself included) who run positive

Once again I'll reiterate.  The email lists DO NOT ALLOW attachments.
One can go tohttp://www.team.net/forums  ( link also below ) and
register.  Once you get your username and password you can post
pictures.  Then send a short note to the email list informing folks.

Personally I wish the forum was used all the time instead of email,
but that ain't gonna happen.  Oh well.

And would you remind us "how to get there" and "where The Healeys List

Dick,

I too have used this extensively.  You must sandblast to utter cleanliness.
Remove ALL rust.  Coat with clear protectant after coating lest you get
surface rust.

Nuts and bolts that were not coated with clear showed surface rust.  For
polished parts it takes a long time but the results are pretty darn good.

Brought out the mad scientist in me.

Warm Regards,

I've been using Caswell's Copy Cad for many years and it's an excellent home
plating kit... HOWEVER, it takes some skill, practice, and patience to get
the results you want.  Follow the directions as written, take your time, and
be meticulously clean and you should get professional results.

Hi Bob,

I ran into this when I first installed my Pertronix on my positive ground BJ8.
I found that the Pertronix doesn't draw as much current as points and
therefore does not create enough of a magnetic field with only one loop on the
back of the tach.  I ended up splicing in some thin wire so I could make 3 or
4 loops where there would normally only be one and that made the tach very
responsive and accurate.

You might try this.

Cheers,
Chris

o as you saw with my car...if you wire the coil and

ires from the harness
hat used to terminate at the coil.  But apparently
ou no amount of tweaking

Hey Folks,

I know this isn't specifically AH, but this is the best place I know
of for the following:

"I am in touch with a friend in Florida who is in need of help with a
541.  He is a Dutchman who now lives in Florida and restores British
cars as a hobby.  He has this 541 which is his, and when he bought it,
it had been stored for years...only has about 10k miles on it. Said
the pistons are bad (stored for years dry) and inasmuch as he is not
on the Internet, I told him I would search for him.



He needs a set of pistons and rings for that Austin engine, or a
complete or partial engine....in the Eastern part of the US, if
possible.



Anyone who can help, kindly contact me off this link and I will put
you in touch with this gentleman."

The Jensen 541 used the 4 liter Austin Princess engine with a triple SU
setup.

Been many years since I put in a Pertronix, but I seem to recall adding an 'extra' loop on the inductive pickup.

Hi Bob, 

I ran into this when I first installed my Pertronix on my positive ground BJ8. 
I found that the Pertronix doesn't draw as much current as points and 
therefore does not create enough of a magnetic field with only one loop on the 
back of the tach. I ended up splicing in some thin wire so I could make 3 or 
4 loops where there would normally only be one and that made the tach very 
responsive and accurate. 

You might try this. 

Cheers, 
Chris

Unless Pertronix has changed the Ignitor design in the 8-10 years since I installed mine, it will work with a Smiths electronic tach on a pos-ground car. Mine works fine and, in fact, since I calibrated it is absolutely spot on accurate and stable. Hard to believe, I know, but it is as verified by my Sears dwell-tach and by inference with the GPS/speedometer/gearing/etc. 

All I recall doing was reversing the loop formed by the white wire on the back of the tach, but I might have rerouted the white wire. Sorry, I don't have a schematic, but the thing to think about is the Ignitor switches battery current to the coil--you have to provide an alternative ground to the coil (I used the notorious battery cutoff switch and white/black coil ground wire moved to a different terminal on the switch)--whereas points make and break a circuit to ground from the coil. The tach is probably (has to be) wired in series with the coil and the points, so you may (probably) have to change the routing of the white wire. I did not remove any wires from my harness; just rerouted them so that I can easily go back to points in an emergency. 

The loop on the back of the tach is an inductive pickup. If switched current flows through the wire--with the proper polarity--the tach will work. The needle on the tach moves in proportion to the frequency of the current pulses. Not that I doubt a reputable outfit like Nisonger, but the Ignitor I ('one') is hardly more than an electronic points set (with some inductive-capacitive circuitry to even out 'dwell').

George,

Are you having problems too?

No posts received for at least last 30 hrs.until your message was just about

Then a message from Bob Spidell  received which was posted last Wednesday

Anyone know what's going on?.

Century Link is now the name of the company that used to be called Qwest.
They do telecommunications, internet such as Team.Net's DSL connection,
and now various entertainment products.  They spent a lot of money 
advertising
the change, and how they are so committed to customer service, blah blah 
blah.

I, personally, didn't think that much would change.

Be that as it may, the little green light on my trusty Cisco 678 DSL modem
is once again brightly lit, bits are flowing once again.

I do apologize for the delays, inconvenience and frustration those of you
addicted to your Team.Net fix may have suffered.

I just crawled under my dash to take a look at the back of my tach.  I call
it one (1) loop.  Wire goes under clip, loops around and goes under again.
One loop, two wires under the clip.

Tach works fine although I did have to do the internal capacitor swap much
later when the readings started going off (see
http://www.healey6.com/Technical/Werner/BJ8%20Tachometer%20Reads%20High.pdf
on John Sim's site).

'67, BJ8, positive ground, Pertronix Ignitor LU162AP12.  Many years of
excellent service without any modification to the tach or wiring.

I believe the 541 Austin Princess engine is a 6 cylinder version of the 100

Never seen one--I've got 2 BMIHT certs, one for my BJ8 and one for our 100M--with a photo.  Also, the 'built for James 
Bond' stuff doesn't smell right.

Are there different types of certs?  Are they sending them with photos now?    If not, that's not what I'd even call a 
fake cert, that is a complete fabrication; someone's fantasy of what a cert would look like (although the logo appears 
correct; think the ones on my certs are gold embossed, though).

It's a bit misleading.  The article states that the fake certificates that
have come to light are for Mini Cooper S and Healey 100Ms.  They don't show
a sample of such a bad certificate, but one for an Aston Martin that appears
to be legitimate.  I'm only familiar with certificates for BJ8s (I have 737
of them in the registry collection), but I've never seen one where the
factory recorded information about a car that occurred after it left the
factory, such as "used in the James Bond film".
I've also never seen one for a BJ8 where the car was built and shipped out
of the factory on the same day.  Healeys normally had a very leisurely build
process.

If you pop for the "Premier" certificate, you can add a picture of your car:

"Now you can include a picture of your car on your Heritage Certificate, the
ultimate way to present your vehicle.
Simply upload your favourite photograph
from your PC, using the form 
above. Your 'Premier' Certificate will include
your picture in addition 
to the original details from the factory build
record, as included on 
the standard Heritage Certificate.
The ideal way to
display your vehicle at a car show, or for framing to take pride of place on
the wall."

That makes a little sense; can't imagine the factory posing a car for photos before they ship it (even if it was James 
Bond's personal ride).

The certs I have are actually fancier, on thick graphics paper with an embossed seal logo (but no picture).

Interesting about the BMIHT certificates possibly being faked. We were
recently able to help establish one of the 100M cars seeming not quite right
during an inquiry by a prospective buyer. We carefully checked the numbers
against what we have in the Hundred Registry. Body numbers and date
sequences being quite out of whack was a first tip off to have the
prospective buyer check deeper with BMIHT who confirmed the discrepancies.
Meanwhile I personally contacted the legitimate owner I currently have the
chassis number listed for and the discrepancy immediately came to light.

Yes, we Registrars can be useful from time to time.

People frequently ask what value a registry has, or why they should bother
to contribute the details of their car to a registry.  Well, the registrars
have a record of the chassis, body, engine, gearbox, rear axle, etc. numbers
for a large number of cars, which makes it very easy to identify any numbers
on a car that are outside the pattern expected for its VIN.
Whether you as an owner ever get any direct benefit from a registry or not,
at least you can help to increase the value of the data to other owners and
potential owners by listing your car.

Several times new owners have sent their data to me and found out their BJ8
is not what they thought it was -- even when restored by well-known and
respected restorers.  It would probably have been to their benefit to check
with the registry before buying it.

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 seat height and the new foam
Message-ID: <l7g3h71m5murdaf2nmef5gfdjdlinervav@4ax.com>

I am restoring the interior of our BN1.  I have the sets of foam seat
bottoms and backs (squabs) that Moss offers for the BN1.  My trimmer
is asking me whether I want them to cut  down the foam seat bottoms
about 1.5 inches, as they are accustomed to do.

The story appears to be that modern foams are stiffer, not to mention
not having the square holes in the bottom, so that a person sitting on
the seats with as-offered foam bottoms  will sit too high and may have
difficulty with clearance between steering wheel and legs.  Well, I am
5'6" tall and at least in our former BJ7 I sat a bit too low for a
good driving position, even after adding spacers to the seat bases.  I
had a smaller diameter steering wheel in the BJ7 so I can't figure out
if I need a shorter seat cushion just so I can fit underneath the
BN1's standard original steering wheel.

If anyone has had experience that would help me decide whether to
lower the seat bottoms and if so how much, I would very much
appreciate hearing from them.

Roland, I am 6'0" so a little different dimensions, but I had no problem 
with the steering wheel clearance and legs with some very restuffed seat 
bottoms, my brother who is a few pounds heavier did though.  However, my 
head hit the roof with the top up, I had the foams cut down.

Maybe you and your trimmer could work it out so you can sit on the foams 
with the cover on but not attached to see if it needs cutting down for best 
driving position, since the bottom just sits in the seat frame shouldn't be 
too hard to do.

My (limited/BJ8) experience with the seat foams is that they collapse significantly, even over just a few thousand miles.

Roland:  I responded to a similar question a while back.  My Healey is a BJ8 
not a BN1 but I think the situation is the same.

I installed new foam in my original seats as it seemed that I was almost 
sitting on the floor boards.  I had made no modifications to the foam such 
as cutting the holes as per original.  Upon sitting on the seat the first 
time, my eye level was at the top windshield frame.  Since I drive my car as 
often as possible, I decided to let it be an see what happened.  Through 
use, the seat has gradually compressed so that now it is at a comfortable 
level with my eyes well below the top of the windshield.

Someone responded that the car they were working on did not get driven very 
often.  If that is your case, the modification may be warranted.  However, 
if you drive it a lot, I believe that use will compact the foam just as it 
did the original and you will be happy for a longer period of time before it 
becomes necessary to change the foam again.

Just my experience as a 42 year owner with 188,000 miles on the odo, 173,000 
put on by me.

We found that the seat foams from the current suppliers are solid and too
firm. The original seats had cross hatch foam construction in two layers which
overlapped. the hollow squares were about 3.5 inches across. To make the new
seats not only more comfortable, but sit like the original seats we bored or
cut round holes in the seat bottoms using a hole cutting bit. The seats are
very comfortable and even at 6' 0" my head just barely hits the hood when it
is erected.

Just one idea

Message-ID: <05381F9E7582432E8655CA533BBA1BDB@9535DEE118EC44B>

Drilling holes in the new seat foams is the way to go.  But it is possible to
"restore" the actual original foam cushions to their original soft feel and
resilience with a bit of patience, if they're in not-too-bad shape.

The original Dunlopillo latex foam cushions can be sliced horizontally like a
hamburger bun with an electric carving knife, leaving one side intact as a
hinge for location.  This exposes the honeycomb cavities on both sides of the
cut.  You'll see that most likely the cushion's collapse is due not to the
latex compressing, but to the breakdown of the honeycomb "pillars" between the
cavities, usually only a few on the drivers' side.

These can be individually reglued and restored to their original height and
shape with a professional flexible foam cement.  This should work on its own,
but bad cases of crumbling 'pillars' can be reinforced with stiff sheet foam
slices glued on.

The two halves of the hamburger can then be glued back together, if you prefer
with a thin 1/8" sheet of flexible material between for extra reinforcement.
Sagging side bolsters can be perked up with the insertion of foam wedges into
slits in the sides, then trimmed off.  The passenger cushion can usually still
be used as a height standard.

BTW, the long-lived Dunlopillo cushions were redesigned late in the BJ8 run,
pointing to a flawed original design.  The large 3" rectangular cavities were
replaced by a honeycomb of smaller, round, about 1" holes, making for a
stronger foam structure.

Fairly good original BJ8 cushions can still be found, as the Ambla vinyl and
completely solid steel pans minimised contact with the air which breaks down
the natural latex rubber.

Sheet latex rubber, called "Pincore", can still be had. But it is pricey, and
newer 'green' PVC sheet foams now approach its soft feel and resilience.

We recovered the original leather seats in my BJ8 a few months back,  
using new front base cushions from AH Spares and covers from  
Ahead4Healeys. About 12 years ago, I had extra foam put in the cushions.
The original cushion base foam had disintegrated, and there was  
constantly yellow fine crumbs on the black carpet.
The new seats are just fantastic. Yes, I sat a lot higher, but they  
have now settled. We didn't drill them or modify them.
The difference in "seat of the pants" ride is just amazing! The car  
feels so much more civilized.
I took an ex owner, Wally Gates for a drive, not long after the seats  
were done. He asked if I'd softened up the suspension.....
In fact, I'd just replaced the rear urethane suspension bushes with  
solid brass in the tramp rods and graphite impregnated nylon in the  
shocks, making it the stiffest the car has ever been...
Very very happy. The old cushions made it ride like you were sitting  
on the floor, and you felt every bump through your rump....
And the other benefit is the drivers side door mirror actually works  
now...

G'day

 

Casually watching a 1954 film called 'Tonight's the Night' staring David
Niven, Yvonne De Carlo (Sigh!), Barry Fitzgerald and George Cole.

 

Great scene when Niven and De Carlo (Sigh!) hop into a red 100 and set off
along the night road. The windscreen is lowered and of course there is not a
hair out of place.

 

I see that the film it is also known as 'Happy Ever After' and the English
registration number of the 100 is ZG 4517.

Many, many thanks for all the speedy and informative replies.  It
would appear that the seat foams that Moss supplies are 'taller' at
the front , which aims the driver's legs higher possibly interfering
with the steering wheel.  The cut that my trimmer proposes is to
remove a wedge, thick and the front and tapering to nothing at the
rear, so that there is very little reduction in seat height.

Many responses suggest that the seats will settle lower after some
use.   I won't soften up the seat bottoms by cutting holes because I
want to sit just a bit higher.

In grateful thanks, I will be sending off my annual contribution to
the maintenance of this list.

Roland -

I might suggest this isn't a very good idea by your trimmer.  Having
support under your legs in the front helps to make the seat more
comfortable on longer trips.  You will get used to the steering wheel issue.

If your trips are all less than 15 minutes in the car, then go ahead.

Alan-

The lowering of the front of the seat bottom is to bring the foam into
conformation with the shape of the original foam pieces, not to lower
the front edge lower than original.  Sorry, I did not make that clear.
Evidently the currently available foam pieces are not the original
shape in that regard.

A registration number prefixed with ZG is likely to be Irish; so perhaps 
this part of filming took place in Ireland.

Hi all,

To start off the year on a good note here is another Healey (1958 100-Six,
BN6L755)B  just back on the road after 21 years.
Back in 1989 the brakes were a wee bit shawdy so I started taking pieces off
the car and before I knew it a full blown restoration was underway. New sills,
outriggers, floors, engine rebuild, rust removal, panel repairs.
Crap, I was in over my head, financially and skill wise. School, other cars,
overseas work, houses, a wife and kids all conspired over the years to slow
the rebuild but it continued in fits and starts and finally it is
complete....?
It's only trip so far is up and down the back lane and it will hibernate until
spring when it can be really called 'back on the road'.
Everything is back to original including the brakes, which still are a wee bit
shawdy.

Please visit the photo site below if you think a rebuild of a stock 100 Six is
of interest.

Subject: [Healeys] Grille Surrounds
Message-ID: <98A391156CC443D2B866B82F6321E3A8@PatrickQuinnPC>

G'day

 

Please excuse my ignorance as you would think after 40 years of ownership I
would know.

 

I am looking at photos of the grille surrounds of the 100/6 - 3000 Mk1 and
the 3000 Mk2 Convertible.

 

Are they the same or is the grille surround in the 100/6-Mk1 in two pieces
and the Mk2 Convertible a single piece. Yes the grille itself is clear, but
I am only interested in the surround.

 

Many thanks

condition.

Fender vent cut in



Louvres welded in primer and filer going on

Sorry to go over this again but.....
I did not see this in the archive
Napa has 15/50 synthetic on sale for $3.47 a qrt.
I use 20/50 Castrol race now, but want to shift to synthetic due to
lubricating qualities.
I cannot find any syn oil above 15 weight.
Thanks

Patrick -

The Mk II and III grille surrounds are one piece, and fix to the shroud
differently than the Mk 1 / 100/6 grille.

You can see the difference on the moss motors website;

http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28958

Interestingly, many people don't know this but the shroud piece between the
grille and bonnet lid on the Mk II/III is slightly narrower and and shaped
a bit more rounded than the shroud on earlier sixes (I don't think this is
detailed in the concours guidlines).

Wow, the threads on oil point to synthetic to deal with that exact issue

Now I'm really confused

The 100/Six and early 3000 roadster grille surround consists of an upper
brow that bolts to the upper half of the grille aperture and a lower strip
of chromed metal that fits onto the lower half of the shroud oval.

The 3000 MK2 and Mk 3 surround consists of a full oval shell that fits into
the shroud aperture along with an upper brow (different than the earlier
one) that fits in behind the full oval shell and against the upper flange of
the shroud aperture.

Thanks,
Thats where I got the idea about synthetic. So they ate not all equal. I
think the diesel rated dinosaur oil is the best bet, cost wise.
Thanks for your time.

Ira,
It is the 50 that counts for the viscosity.
I would advise against synthetic oils though in our classic cars.  The 
so dreaded lower zinc contents may be an issue although I never 
encountered of trouble on this side of the pond with that. but also you 
may encounter problems with seals and gaskets causing leakages. Good old 
20W50 mineral oil changed every year has served us well for decades so 
better stick with it as long as it is available.

Penrite HPR.
30, 40 or 50 depending on climate and useage.
More Zinc for your flat tappets than almost anything else. And it  
holds pressure when hot.
No financial interest, just a very happy penrite user in Healeys for  
16 years or so.
Synthetic in gearbox and diff? Absolutely. Redline.
Again, no financial interest.

Hi, Ge -

Attached are scans of pages 92 and 93 of Anders Clausager's book, Original
Austin-Healey.  They should provide the information you are looking for.

Ge,
There used to be a website that was interactive so you could see all of 
the original color combinations.  Try http://www.austinhealey.com/ and 
go to the old, static site.  The new site may be helpful also, but I 
never saw it until today, so have had little time to see what it is about.

Ge, 

Be aware that no matter what the interior colour, the normal piping on the
Ambla vinyl BJ8 seats was a silver braid inside clear vinyl. This clear
vinyl always yellowed over time resulting in the silver piping taking on a
gold hue. This is available in accurate patterns and pipings from a number
of sources, just be aware to specify it.

Ge,
There used to be a website that was interactive so you could see all of the
original color combinations.  Try http://www.austinhealey.com/ and go to the
old, static site.  The new site may be helpful also, but I never saw it
until today, so have had little time to see what it is about.

List,
I have had good luck with Brad Penn oil which is a synthetic blend
loaded with zinc phosphate additives.  The price is about the same as mineral
oils.  It may be obtained as a 10W30 weight or as 20W50 weight.  I am using
the 20W50 and I have no issues with oil pressure or oil breakdown.

According to the Moss catalog, the single piece surround was fitted to the
BN/BT7 beginning at serial number 13751 on & all BJ7&8's. The BN/BT7 from
serial # 13751 would also have the MKII style badge which was also fitted to
the BJ7.

Patrick -
The Mk II and III grille surrounds are one piece, and fix to the shroud
ifferently than the Mk 1 / 100/6 grille.
You can see the difference on the moss motors website;
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28958
Interestingly, many people don't know this but the shroud piece between the
rille and bonnet lid on the Mk II/III is slightly narrower and and shaped
 bit more rounded than the shroud on earlier sixes (I don't think this is
etailed in the concours guidlines).

 Please excuse my ignorance as you would think after 40 years of ownership I
 would know.



 I am looking at photos of the grille surrounds of the 100/6 - 3000 Mk1 and
 the 3000 Mk2 Convertible.



 Are they the same or is the grille surround in the 100/6-Mk1 in two pieces
 and the Mk2 Convertible a single piece. Yes the grille itself is clear, but
 I am only interested in the surround.

Perhaps someone should make it in a gold hue so that it will look "age

Sold to KT in 2007 for "slightly more than doubled" cost new; I'd say he got taken to the cleaners.  IMHO, of course.

I had my block cleaned at a machine shop and because I was not able 
to paint it right away there is some light rust on the outside.

If I use soda to blast it away should I be concerned if some of the 
soda gets into the oil galleries?

I can clean the galleries with solvent but I am curious to know if 
the soda might harm the bearings once everything is back together.

'Soda' is sodium bicarbonate; it's soluble in water which makes it a good blast media but I doubt it's very soluble in 
oil (or solvent).   Try mixing some baking soda with solvent and/or oil and see what happens; my guess is it stays 
pretty gritty.

I don't have experience with it, but I don't think I'd chance it unless I could be sure not to get any media inside the 
block.  I'd probably use naval jelly or some other chemical rust remover.

I would wire brush it and or spray with some rust conversion spray. Eastman
or Por 15 then paint it. surface rust is not much to be concerned about.

Wire brush, liberally brush with Muriatic Acid (available at Home depot
in the pool section) rinse /brush repeat, hit with prepsol/or acetone
and paint.

Gallon of acid runs about $3.  Muriatic acid is a fantastic degreaser
and can also be utilized to strip metals prior to replating.  Also used
to prevent "flash rust" for you guys who live in places where it is
damp, and to etch galvanized metal prior to paint.

Need to be careful not to leave bolts sit in too long  (days) though, as
it can cause steel to become brittle.

One of my favorite uses is removing oil stains from
concrete...............But I'm sure I'm the only LBC owner that has that
problem.

$ for $ it's tough to beat.

Wear rubber gloves and use eye protection.

Noel:  I don't know where you are located, but you may not need a Vredestein 
outlet.  I obtained my latest set through our local Les Schwab tire store.

I talked to an associate and she said she would call Vredestein and see what 
she could do.  She was able to order four tires and I had Schwab mount them. 
I stood by to make sure the spoke nipples were covered, that they put new 
tubes in, put powder in the tires when mounting, and put the plastic inserts 
in the wheels to protect the valve stems.  I did not let them balance them 
as I knew they did not have the proper equipment.  I balanced them myself 
with a bubble balancer.

One tire turned out to be defective and Schwab ordered a replacement and 
mounted it at no extra cost to me.

The cost of the tires was no more than I had expected had I purchased them 
from a Vredestein dealer.  The fact that they were local was beneficial when 
there was a problem.

I read the article just now. He said he punched out one of the rear freeze
plugs by "punching it out from the front". Has anyone else tried this?

Thanks,

Check out the Bill Hirsch paint web sight.   Any cast iron blocks that are 
free of oil and a flaky scale can be wire brushed and then painted with 
their engine enamels.  No primers necessary
on cast iron.  That would be the block and heads on our engines.  Steel 
items should be primed.
I am a user and had good results with that process on my Healey engine. 
Remember, not all
 engine enamels are NOT equal.  The Hirsch engine enamels encapsulate and 
adhere to light surface rust very well.

I used Moss's Healey Green engine paint to paint my block and exterior
engine parts in 1999, and they are still in perfect condition.  As with any
paint job, the durability depends on how clean the surface is before
painting.  The engine paint requires no primer.
Before painting, I degreased the parts with engine degreaser and rinsed
well.  For secondary degreasing and etching, I sprayed the bare block down
with phosphoric acid metal prep according to the bottle directions, rinsed
well, and blew it dry with compressed air.

Performance tire plus in Long beach is close to Anaheim in Californian miles.
 However they ship for free so why go through the hassle?  If you're out of
state you even save on sales tax.  Then have them mounted at your trusted wire

There is NOT a great deal of confusion regarding these hardtops.

Universal Laminations in London made quality accessory hardtops for the
four-cylinder and six-cylinder roadsters (as well as for a number of other
contemporary cars).  They came in small and large window versions, and the
exterior was always covered in leathercloth vinyl.  Matching fiberglass-framed
sliding plexi windows were available for the fours.  These were not BMC items,
but because the factory didn't offer one of their own, they were "factory
approved" (like the Radiomobile radio) for the four cylinders and the DHMC
offered them on their list.

Later, the factory decided to do their own, and the six-cylinder roadsters
could be ordered with an official (not "so-called") factory hardtop of the
familiar design with the two support bars behind the window.  They were made
by Jensens, had their own sales brochure, and could be had in primer or a
range of matching BMC colours outlined in the official BMC colour scheme lists
under the "hardtop" column.

A number of other aftermarket hardtops, as well as other accessories such as
luggage racks, could be had from other companies both here and abroad , but UL
was the "proper" one for the fours.    And then there's the transparent
Pexidome.....

The metal prep I used was concentrate in a bottle, available from the local
auto parts store that specializes in supply to body shops.  Mix with water
as directed and put in an empty Windex bottle to spray it on.  Spraying is a
way to cover relatively large areas quickly.  The solution can also be
applied with a brush.  Keep the surface wet with the solution for the time
specified, then rinse well and dry.  The solution will dissolve light
surface rust and leave a phosphate coating after rinsing and drying that
will prevent flash rusting, as well as provide a good basis for the finish
paint.  Phosphate is a corrosion inhibitor that is less hazardous than the
chromate coatings previously used.

When I use the phosphoric etch solution, the resultant white glaze gets scrubbed off using heavy duty #60 grit pads cut from a sanding belt, wire brush, and water. The process is repeated until clean metal appears. I've used gallons of this stuff and it works real well but it's slow and labor intensive. I try to do as little spraying as possible so I brush on. The end results rival sand blasting or acid dip. The 1958 Jeep fc170 chassis I'm working on now will take 12-15 repetitions.

Subject: [Healeys] 100M cold air boxes and flow
Message-ID: <1326473785.37473.YahooMailNeo@web110809.mail.gq1.yahoo.com>

All,

Has anyone conducted or read the results of anyone else's research
regarding the fluid dynamics of the 100M cold air box?

I'm no engineer, but a
keen mind looking at the 1956 cold air box design can quickly work out the
fact that it may have some ill effects on air delivery at higher RPM's.  I'm
specifically concerned about the size and depth of the box causing delivery
issues for both, but more likely the rear carb.  


I've done some very crude
calculations and crude bench testing just as a base to understand the flow
involved and the possible scale.  I've learned my engine can suck as much as
263CFM at 100% VE, but obviously it should be less, so I use this as a max. 
That puts the velocity at each carb above 85mph static, but much faster during
intake stroke.  The velocity at the air box inlet is above 65mph static.  The
box depth in front of each carb opening is only 1.75".  I can see potential
for not only vacuum creation and inefficient atmospheric replacement, but add
to that the inefficient dynamics of the flat and non radiused orifices.    
I've also discovered a fair amount of scavenging occurs between carb orifices
in-spite of the wide and presumably ample open ended box.

Anyway, I've
theorized that the probable advantage of thermodynamic control supplied by the
air box, may be negated by its inefficient design and inability to supply
sufficient volume.

If anyone has done or knows of some CFD (computational
flow dymanic) modeling and, better yet, 3d image modeling.  Please let me know
where to access the information.

Thank you and kind regards,

While doing a little more digging on early 100-Six racing, I found a
list of many SCCA races listing the entrants along with car for 1957
(LOTS of Healeys).  If you follow this link
http://wsrp.wz.cz/natus1957.html#179 , it lists La Ruth Bostic driving
a 100-6 in 3 races at Riverside in 1957

I decided to see who she was I came across this link
http://www.mshf.com/cgi/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=categories&action=display&num=109
3626162
 referring to a LaRuth Bostic (slightly different spelling) as being
the first African-American female race car driver.

Does anyone know about this, its an interesting and notable piece of
history if it can be confirmed.

Adam -

Any flow inefficiencies in the cold air box design are overcome by the
positive air differential created by having the front end of the CAB
paper tube face directly forward into the oncoming air stream when
driving at high speed.  In fact, the speed ram effect will provide
more HP improvement than having cold dense air going into the carbs.

If you look at pictures of some 100S/4 racers in the day, many of the
cars have run the paper air tube past the grill or even through the
shroud into the oncoming air stream to maximize positive pressure in
the CAB.

It's about the air pressure, not the air temperature.  Basically it's
a cheap supercharger when you are driving fast.

Hey Adam -

Thanks for the kind words.  Note that putting on trumpets in the box (and
other modifications) should help improve the flow at high speeds, but oddly
enough the turbidity at less than half throttle is probably a good thing to
help evenly vaporize the fuel, improving consumption and low speed torque.

I'm sure you could probably get much more by smoothing out the profile of
the dashpot piston and SU body Venturi chamber.  I wonder if anyone has
ever done this?

Best,

Alan

Hi Alan,
No, you cant pressurise a cold air box.
Never set up your cold air box so it rams air in at higher than  
atmospheric pressure straight into your carbs
If you do, the end result will be too much air, not enough fuel, a  
lean mixture and a destroyed/ melted piston or 4. Probably at high rpm.
A cold air box is just that. A cold air box  - the ability for cold  
air to be sucked into a carb on a hot engine. A cold air box generally  
is not sealed. It is open at one end (or somewhere) so it can't  
pressurize and force air into the carbs at higher than atmosperic  
pressure.
Think about an old supercharger for a minute. The carb - often an SU  
on the sort of superchargers found on BMC cars - is on the outside, it  
mixes the fuel and air which is then compressed and fed to the engine.
I.e it is a fuel air mix which is compressed, not compressed air alone.
I've seen the results from some homemade "cold air sealed ram boxes" -  
and trust me, unless your dad owns a piston company, you don't want to  
go there.
So the end issue is the 'flow' into the cold air box is pretty  
irrelevent, it's just a way to get cooler than underbonnet air in  
front of the carbs.
Whether the volumetric area of a 100m cold air box is enough - no idea.
But pressurize or seal a cold air box on SUs at your own peril....

Best
Chris

I recall reading a magazine article--probably one of the club mags--about a guy that raced a 100M.  He got better 
performance with a couple velocity stacks on the carbs.  Dunno if he proved it with a dyno or track times, but he was 
convinced.    Also, the box is mildly pressurized by the air under the valve cover that vents into the box (at least 
ours is).

OTOH, the box looks pretty cool.

Adam -

Any flow inefficiencies in the cold air box design are overcome by the
positive air differential created by having the front end of the CAB
paper tube face directly forward into the oncoming air stream when
driving at high speed.  In fact, the speed ram effect will provide
more HP improvement than having cold dense air going into the carbs.

If you look at pictures of some 100S/4 racers in the day, many of the
cars have run the paper air tube past the grill or even through the
shroud into the oncoming air stream to maximize positive pressure in
the CAB.

It's about the air pressure, not the air temperature.  Basically it's
a cheap supercharger when you are driving fast.

As far as I know, the overflow pipes of the carbs should go into the cold air
box and are sealed at the air box to preasurize the fuel reservoirs, by the
ram effect occurs. This gives a richer flow of fuel.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] 100M cold air boxes and flow

I recall reading a magazine article--probably one of the club mags--about a
guy that raced a 100M.  He got better performance with a couple velocity
stacks on the carbs.  Dunno if he proved it with a dyno or track times, but he
was
convinced.    Also, the box is mildly pressurized by the air under the valve
cover that vents into the box (at least
ours is).

OTOH, the box looks pretty cool.

Hard to tell from the photo, but three of the sideshift covers (left, with
tag, bottom right, far right ) appear to have the later double-bend, deeper
bulkhead flange of the cranked-lever sideshift 3000's.  The "missing" ashtray
one looks to have a 6"x 6" plate covering over the ashtray hole.

Steven:  A Google search came up with an informative article on spark plugs 
from ntahc:

http://www.ntahc.org/techtips/sparkplug1.html

The final paragraph says:

"...So what do you choose? Well, if you are concours, use the original spark 
plugs. If your car's engine is essentially set up the way that it left the 
factory, use the factory recommended plugs. If you have added power 
improvements to your car (higher compression ratio, more cam, more carbs, 
electronic ignition, multi-spark discharge, more powerful coil), consider 
stepping up to the next colder heat range. Added real power? Move two steps 
colder. Then, read the plugs after 100 miles, 500 miles and 1,000 miles. If 
the plugs are fouling or coated with carbon, move back to the next hotter 
plug. If the ceramic is cracked or chalky or if either of the electrodes is 
burning away (the gap has increased) go colder...".

The factory recommendation is Champion UN12Y.  I have been using them since 
I acquired my Healey (1970) without any problems or known loss of 
performance.

Can't help on flooding other than to recommend that you check to make sure 
you are getting adequate spark at the plugs and not applying too much choke. 
"Experts" will have more recommendations.

Carb needle valve. Could be sticking.. dash pods could also be gunned up.
Choke could be not returning to park. Sounds like carbs need
cleaning/rebuild

Standard procedure for a flooded engine is to run the starter with throttles held wide open ('WOT'); i.e. gas pedal to the floor. Without choke, of course.

Nominal plug gap is 0.025". Spark plug brands are a religious topic but I've used Champion RN12YC for almost 30 years with no problems.

Here is a pretty neat web site for plug reading.
I am trying to track down a big vaccum leak. I have been after it for a couple
of years, actually. I am going to try a mechanic with a smoke machine next. My
party smoke machine didn't work too well. I got a borescope for Christmas.
What I see in the combustion chamber is too scary and hard to interpret.

Hi All,

 

I'm in need of a flywheel that can be modified to set up an engine dyno.
The engine is a 2.9litre.

 

The flywheel will ultimately by modified such that it's only use will be on
the dyno.

 

Given that these things weigh more than a boat anchor...one close to
Vancouver, Canada would be beneficial.

Upper right is certainly BJ8 with no ash tray aperture because it was in the

Don't know much about the science of the cold air box, but do know that

Bonneville salt flats in 2009, the car went faster. And not just a little  
faster, considerably faster. You'd have to talk with him about it, for all the  
correct details, but it worked as far as getting more speed out of the  car.

All,

Has anyone conducted or read the results of anyone  else's research
regarding the fluid dynamics of the 100M cold air  box?

I'm no engineer, but a
keen mind looking at the 1956 cold air  box design can quickly work out the
fact that it may have some ill effects  on air delivery at higher RPM's.  
I'm
specifically concerned about the  size and depth of the box causing delivery
issues for both, but more likely  the rear carb.  


I've done some very crude
calculations and  crude bench testing just as a base to understand the flow
involved and the  possible scale.  I've learned my engine can suck as much 
as
263CFM at  100% VE, but obviously it should be less, so I use this as a 
max. 
That  puts the velocity at each carb above 85mph static, but much faster  
during
intake stroke.  The velocity at the air box inlet is above  65mph static.  
The
box depth in front of each carb opening is only  1.75".  I can see potential
for not only vacuum creation and  inefficient atmospheric replacement, but 
add
to that the inefficient  dynamics of the flat and non radiused orifices.    
I've also  discovered a fair amount of scavenging occurs between carb  
orifices
in-spite of the wide and presumably ample open ended  box.

Anyway, I've
theorized that the probable advantage of  thermodynamic control supplied by 
the
air box, may be negated by its  inefficient design and inability to supply
sufficient volume.

If  anyone has done or knows of some CFD (computational
flow dymanic) modeling  and, better yet, 3d image modeling.  Please let me 
know
where to  access the information.

Thank you and kind regards,

Ah, there's the rub -- you can't prove one or the other by dyno testing, OR
by track times. The first doesn't work because there's no air flow on a
dyno (other than induced by a BF fan, and that isn't accurate). Track times
don't work because of the multitude of other variables. The closest you'll
come
is the Menadue Method. You have a straight even slope behind the works that
allows you to run the car at speed, under load in a controlled setting.
(Incidentally, there was just such a ramp/hill constructed at Brooklands, for
just that purpose. It's still there.) You run the car up the hill against the
clock, make one change, and do it again. Reduced time -- right direction;
increased time -- wrong direction. That's how they set the timing and made
all the other changes that improved performance.

Hi Alan,
No, you cant pressurise a cold air box.
Never set up your cold air box so it rams air in at higher than  
atmospheric pressure straight into your carbs
If you do, the end result will be too much air, not enough fuel, a  
lean mixture and a destroyed/ melted piston or 4. Probably at high rpm.
A cold air box is just that. A cold air box  - the ability for cold  
air to be sucked into a carb on a hot engine. A cold air box generally  
is not sealed. It is open at one end (or somewhere) so it can't  
pressurize and force air into the carbs at higher than atmosperic  
pressure.
Think about an old supercharger for a minute. The carb - often an SU  
on the sort of superchargers found on BMC cars - is on the outside, it  
mixes the fuel and air which is then compressed and fed to the engine.
I.e it is a fuel air mix which is compressed, not compressed air alone.
I've seen the results from some homemade "cold air sealed ram boxes" -  
and trust me, unless your dad owns a piston company, you don't want to  
go there.
So the end issue is the 'flow' into the cold air box is pretty  
irrelevent, it's just a way to get cooler than underbonnet air in  
front of the carbs.
Whether the volumetric area of a 100m cold air box is enough - no idea.
But pressurize or seal a cold air box on SUs at your own peril....

Best
Chris

You forget that SU's are pressure compensated so there should not be no 
issue with "ram air pressure", which is rather low anyway (unless you 
use a mighty big cone) and not to be compared with the pressures of 
turbos or compressors.
If you want more mixture in your engine get double DellOrtos, Webers, 
Mikunis, Solex's, any decent sidedrafts on a proper manifold, one barrel 
per cilinder.

I'm doing some detail work on my BN1 and need some information on some parts.

A while back someone mentioned a source for the correct tach and speedo faces.
The ones MOMA put on 10 years ago are reacting to the sunlight and turning
purple where not shaded by the needle.

Does anyone know of a source for the vinyl strip that goes between the gauge
binnacle and the dash panel on the two piece dashboard? Mine as stiff and
allows the two pieces to resonate.

I got some good information about the prop rod bracket for the boot lid.
However it would help if I could get some measurements to fabricate one.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Interesting point on the gauge faces.   In order to help others ,  did you
contact Moma to see
if they have rectified the  problem in the past ten years?  What did they
say?

I'm doing some detail work on my BN1 and need some information on some parts.

A while back someone mentioned a source for the correct tach and speedo
faces.
The ones MOMA put on 10 years ago are reacting to the sunlight and turning
purple where not shaded by the needle.

Does anyone know of a source for the vinyl strip that goes between the gauge
binnacle and the dash panel on the two piece dashboard? Mine as stiff and
allows the two pieces to resonate.

I got some good information about the prop rod bracket for the boot lid.
However it would help if I could get some measurements to fabricate one.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Message-ID: <1327073628.89762.YahooMailClassic@web36705.mail.mud.yahoo.com>

Dear listers,

After 8.5 years my 56 BN2 came alive again yesterday.  I bought the car with a rebuild engine (somewhere in the 80's) but a stalled restoration.  After moving around 2 times here in California just after a relocation from Belgium I started a full nut and bolt, body, frame on rotisserie style restoration 6 years ago.  Since I am doing not all but a lot of the work myself it's a slow but fun learning process.  The amount of time I spend in books or workshop manuals is surpassed by sifting through the archives both here and over at the british car forum.  I probably spend more time studying than executing.

2 weeks ago Charlie Hart helped me with pumping oil in the engine using an external oil pump.  This helped us make sure the engine was lubricated again before startup after sitting again for 8 years.  Last week we dropped the engine and transmission in.  This week I further build up the engine. First getting the starter going, secondly cranking till I got oil pressure.  The car needed to sit through lunch to get the oil pump fully primed.  After getting a dribble out of the oil filter hole in the block and then from the pressure port, I got 55 lbs on the gauge during cranking after purging the oil line.  Hooking up exhaust, carbs, controls, radiator.  Yesterday checking ignition and setting static timing and confirming I got the little blue sparks.  A last little checkup on ignition points and the car was ready for the big day...

Yesterday morning after last checks we rolled the car outside, filled the radiator with regular water for now.  Poured a couple of gallons of gas in the tank and checked the fuel delivery.  Tightened the banjo bolts, All good.  I pushed the button, cranked the engine... no ignition... pulled a plug, no spark.  I knew the last thing I did was checking the points so I pulled the distributor cap.... we checked that the points were sparking, till we realized the rotor was gone!  I had pulled it out when checking/gapping the points the day before and forgot to put it back. I know I'll have to hear this for the rest of my life (specially from my neighbor Yancey!) but we had a good laugh!  A friday funny Healey comedy classic and a lesson learned that a small dollar part missing or broken can have you stranded.

The car then fired up without issue and after initial tuning was run for 25 minutes at 2000 rpm for a renewed breaking in of the cam.  The engine runs great.  Charlie also confirmed that it runs smooth.  Started up immediately on further tries.  It just needs a bit more fine-tuning of mixture and syncing of carbs. Then a check of dynamic timing confirming the advance is working properly and timing is spot on.  I'll also do a compression test later.  

We'll see how the cam holds up.  I am just taking this as it comes and fix where/when needed.  Everything was hooked up when I got the car with some evidence of having run.  Let's hope it was properly broken in 25-30 years ago.

Some things to fix:  a small seep from the waterpump, I rebuild it myself with new sealed bearings, stainless sleeves and a new modern seal.  I had originally planned to run the pump dry in the engine for 30 seconds for a pump seal break-in but we decided to go for a full on 20-30 minutes run for a renewed cam break-in which is more important.  I should have looked for a solution to do a dry run-in of the pump before mounting using a drill or so.  Or just cranking the engine after putting on the belt, with no plugs.

I'll try to correct this by draining the water, I need to replace it with my coolant/distilled water/water wetter mixture anyway.  And then do a short 30" dry seal break-in run with the engine.  Anybody has experience with that after an initial wet run?  I see one positive reference to this issue from somebody taking the pump out of the car, running it with a drill and re-installing.

I also have just a drop of water from the rear freeze plug.  This one is accessible through the transmission opening.  On close inspection it's sitting at a bit of an angle, tapping it with a hammer/drift might correct this or I can just install a new one when I replace the water with coolant.

Big thanks to Charlie and my supporting neighbors who came over, my almost neighbor Bill Hoyt who's restoring another BN2 a couple streets away from me.  Also big thanks to Ray Juncal who gave me a cart to wheel the body around in the shop all these years, it will go to the next club member restoring a big Healey.  And a huge thanks to Rich, Curt, all contributors on the list and our list manager Mark. 

So what a fantastic day, there's a new smell in the garage and I like it! 

Here's a photo, I am hiding behind Charlie who's in the Jeans shirt and blue cap.

  Gefeliciteerd Bert,
Leave the water pump well alone. If it is only a running in problem of 
the carbon seal the seepage will stop after some time on its own. Do not 
run it dry.
So no go out and enjoy.

My car has sat with oil in it for 2 years.
After a 3 month break, i will be getting back to the beast this weekend.
If anyone in the Portland, OR area is on the list and has adjusted doors
before, I could use some hands on help.

I will poor some ZPD additive into the top of the engine, then crank it by
hand, then with the coil unplugged, then kick it off. I have never spent
the correct procedure before to restart the car after it sat for a while,
so there could be damage, but the car always started right up before with
great oil pressure.
I have a bottle of Motor Silk (given as a gift) that claims to be high in
ZPD.
I have over 35K on the engine, so this might all be much ado about nothing.
the engine was run in in 1977 with start up oil, first oil change at 500
miles and so forth, back in the day.
Thanks for the info on Brad Penn Oil. there are two distributors in
Portland.
Oil starts religion wars, so I appreciate the comments on the topic.
Just like in the Computer world, asking if LINUX, Mac or Windows is better
will really get folks blood pressure up.
I'm agnostic. i use all 3 platforms. Please do not post to list
on computer platform choice, or restart the oil wars.
Cheers

Bert:  Not to worry. You are not the only one to experience this.  I watched 
a segment of the Boyd Coddington (hot rod builder, August 28, 1944 - 
February 27, 2008) TV show as he and his crew tried to start a new engine. 
They cranked and cranked and stood around scratching their heads until 
someone removed the distributor cap to discover - no rotor.  If it can 
happen to the famous pros, it can happen to us lesser mortals.

Yea, but wouldn't more air through the carb mean more vacuum in the dashpot
resulting in raising the needle higher?

At least that's what YouTube says. (;-)

as a newbie owner I hit a rock and blew a hole in my oil pan. ran the
engine dry. It had 2500 miles on it. Had to rebuild a new engine..... ever
since my eyes are glued to the oil pressure gauge....
fortunately I worked part time for a parts store and part time for a Healey
resto shop. Everyone felt bad for me so I rebuilt it practically for free.

Subject: [Healeys] It's alive. Part 2.

Some things to fix:  a small seep from the waterpump, I rebuild it myself
with new sealed bearings, stainless sleeves and a new modern seal.  I had
originally planned to run the pump dry in the engine for 30 seconds for a
pump seal break-in but we decided to go for a full on 20-30 minutes run for
a renewed cam break-in which is more important.  I should have looked for a
solution to do a dry run-in of the pump before mounting using a drill or so.
Or just cranking the engine after putting on the belt, with no plugs.

I'll try to correct this by draining the water, I need to replace it with my
coolant/distilled water/water wetter mixture anyway.  And then do a short
30" dry seal break-in run with the engine.  Anybody has experience with that
after an initial wet run?  I see one positive reference to this issue from
somebody taking the pump out of the car, running it with a drill and
re-installing.

I also have just a drop of water from the rear freeze plug.  This one is
accessible through the transmission opening.  On close inspection it's
sitting at a bit of an angle, tapping it with a hammer/drift might correct
this or I can just install a new one when I replace the water with coolant.

Big thanks to Charlie and my supporting neighbors who came over, my almost
neighbor Bill Hoyt who's restoring another BN2 a couple streets away from
me.  Also big thanks to Ray Juncal who gave me a cart to wheel the body
around in the shop all these years, it will go to the next club member
restoring a big Healey.  And a huge thanks to Rich, Curt, all contributors
on the list and our list manager Mark. 

So what a fantastic day, there's a new smell in the garage and I like it! 

Here's a photo, I am hiding behind Charlie who's in the Jeans shirt and blue
cap.

Hi Bill, Can't help you with the MOMA problem but Nisonger may be able to
help. They are who I use exclusively these days.

The black strip between instrument pos and main fascia panel is simply the
same stuff used between over rider and bumper. You need to notch out the
inside edge for each of the welded tabs, and the joint is done at the top
just to the outboard side where the cockpit rail hides it.

The bracket for the prop rod on the alloy boot lid is a small steel box like
affair with an elongated ear as the bracket. It is screwed to the left edge
of the alloy skin with two screws and there is usually a sandwich of black
butyl packing strip between the underside of the box section and the lid
skin.

Pictures attached.

I'm doing some detail work on my BN1 and need some information on some

A while back someone mentioned a source for the correct tach and speedo
faces.
The ones MOMA put on 10 years ago are reacting to the sunlight and turning
purple where not shaded by the needle.

Does anyone know of a source for the vinyl strip that goes between the gauge
binnacle and the dash panel on the two piece dashboard? Mine as stiff and
allows the two pieces to resonate.

I got some good information about the prop rod bracket for the boot lid.
However it would help if I could get some measurements to fabricate one.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Dear listers,

After 8.5 years my 56 BN2 came alive again yesterday.  I bought the car with a
rebuild engine (somewhere in the 80's) but a stalled restoration.  After
moving around 2 times here in California just after a relocation from Belgium
I started a full nut and bolt, body, frame on rotisserie style restoration 6
years ago.  Since I am doing not all but a lot of the work myself it's a slow
but fun learning process.  The amount of time I spend in books or workshop
manuals is surpassed by sifting through the archives both here and over at the
british car forum.  I probably spend more time studying than executing.

No I haven't spoken to Margaret about it. I could just drive a few miles down
the road and do that, but I know what the problem is. They use a photographic
process to reproduce the gauge face, where if I remember correctly, the
original was silk screened on a metal substrate.

I think it was Tadek who was saying that he knew of a source of the properly
colored and silk screened faces. I can't really complain about the work done,
as it has lasted this long. However the photocopied face is reacting to the
years of sunlight and is changing color. For that reason I'm looking for a
more original solution.

Interesting point on the gauge faces.   In order to help others ,  did you
contact Moma to see
if they have rectified the  problem in the past ten years?  What did they
say?

Thanks Rich, and to all the others who have answered. I guess I'll cast around
and see who uses silk screen for their faces.

I thought there was another application for the strip material, but couldn't
remember what it was. Maybe if I had bumpers...
Anyway if it's used for something else maybe Martin McGregor has it. I guess
I'llgive ohm a call...

Thanks for the pictures I cancertainly use them for reference, but would you
happen to have measurements so I can make an attempt at fabricating one. I'll
probably end up making it backwards, so if anyone is converting to RHD, oh
never mind...

Thanks again.

William,

West Valley Instruments "reprinted" my safety gauge last August. It 
is not in the car yet but it looks really good and I think it is 
painted but I don't recall if I asked him or not. 877-818-9402 and 
ask for Morris I believe. I think he used to work for MONA or was a partner.

www.westvalleyinstruments.com

Try: westvalleyinstruments at gmail.com

Sorry it took me so long to look up the information.

Morris was the "Mo" in Moma before they split up.  I would not be surprised if they still use the same techniques and processes but I could be wrong on this.  Worth checking out and double-check if you like their work.  I didn't like the clear coat on the faces, probably a good protection but it looked over-restored to me.  Just my opinion.

The swiss gauge restorers at austin-healey.ch seem to do a great job tampon- or padprinting the faces but they don't want to sell just the faces, they only do full restoration of the gauges, I asked.  Lionel Otto company seems to be a good alternative, they sell you the faces outright.  His site mentions silk screen.  I talked to somebody on the phone and I understood they press in the circular depression after printing.  This was probably what they did in the 50's as padprinting was't invented yet.  Silkscreening is a 2d process while padprinting is used to transfer a 2d design on a 3d object.  My father was a printer/graphics teacher so I learned a bit about this.

I didn't want to lay out the Benjamins, Swiss francs or Aussie dollars for this so I carefully cleaned the gauge faces with a super soft brush and diluted simple-green.  If anybody wants to try this out, don't let the simple green solution on there too long, carefully rinse and dry with a paper towel.  The white paint of those 50+ year old numbers on the gauge are dried out and powdery.  I then protected the face with a tiny bit of carauba wax.  

I rebuild the mechanisms and calibrated with a drill and a digital tachometer.  I scanned the original wheel strips and touched them up in photoshop and printed my own odo/tripmeter wheel numbers on vinyl sticker material to replace the faded and burned away numbers.  New glass and chrome et voila.  A nice winter project indeed.  

Didn't I just say I was having fun?  

Bert

Greg, I am not a scientist or engineer, but have a rudimentary or slightly 
more understanding of how the carbs work, you are right more air flow should 
raise the piston.  Normally a higher piston means less cross section of the 
needle blocking the gas flow from the jet, so more gas more air more 
power....  However you said more vacuum, wouldn't the vacuum in fact be 
less, because it wouldn't be sucking from the engine, well it still would 
but it would be pushing air through as well, and maybe a push doesn't suck 
the gas up as well as regular manifold vacuum, therefore  (someone who knows 
more may confirm this??? or tell me I am koo koo) a lean condition results 
instead of more power, along with the possibility of holed pistons and such 
nastiness as has been mentioned as the result of rm air to an SU by other 
listers.

Mercedes-Benz  300SLs have soared in value during the past 12 months,
and the trend  continued on Friday afternoon, as a 1955 Mercedes-Benz
300SL alloy  Gullwing rocketed to a record $4.6m at Gooding &
Company's  Scottsdale Auction.

Bidding  on the rare car -- it is one of 29 alloy Gullwings -- started
at $2m  and quickly ratcheted up, achieving a final sale price of
$4.2m. Factoring in the 10% buyer's premium, the car changed hands for
$4.62m.

The funny thing was they weren't particularly good driving cars for
the day, poor brakes and mushy handling for a "super" car.  Fast in a
straight line... I guess post war Germany producing something that
exclusive and fast was the gimmick.  Same era Jags, Astons and
Ferraris were better cars on the track.  Looks cool though!

Listers,

I have a very nice original (may even be NOS) rear leaf spring.  Six leaves
and the bottom leaf has this part number and name stamped in it, so does
anyone know its applicability?

AHB9980

If it's for a Healey does anyone need it?

Cheers,

Curt

My folks' neighbor has one (don't think it's the all-aluminum one, though).  What gets me is the cars look sleek from a 
distance, but up close they seem really bulky.

Message-ID: <531504569.19020.1327178287230.JavaMail.root@sz0043a.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net>

I'm in the process of doing my first rebuild of my HS6 carbs. They were working okay but developed leaks at the flexible jet tubes. Starting reassembly with a rebuild kit but I've noticed that the jet assembly seems to hang up inside the jet bearing. Does one lubricate the jet assembly or does the throttle linkage pull it back down as necessary? 

TIA
