[Healeys] Winter projects, parts questions

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

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?

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.
