[Healeys] Starting a BJ8

Thanks for the explanation. Now, if I could just figure out what an 'old vacuum cleaner spray gun' is I can die happy ;)

For those outside the orbit of British materials, Araldite is a quite 
good epoxy patching material. In the US JB Weld is a good substitute 
although it takes longer to harden. Probably the quick version would 
do fine in this situation. 

Araldite is very widely available. I got some a few years back in an 
almost invisible shop on the island of Iona, Scotland. It worked.
