Reinhard,
Perhaps I need to work on me to be more patient. As a European I am only 
guest and should keep me in the background.
 
For me its not those (new) members asking questions in need of helpful 
answers who wear me out. To help those is the meaning of this list and I am 
in first row to help when help is needed no matter how qualified or not the 
question is. All of us started with no or very little knowledge.
What is really wearing are some answers of people always need to tell their 
two cents even they have no idea of the problem. it looks like they count 
their own value by the number of postings they do.
 
Sorry, but I know I am wrong and the list is better than ever, but for me 
its no more the list I liked so much.
Thanks to all of those who try to keep the level high, but there are only a 
few left of the ones whose input I enjoyed.

Josef,

 

Of course you are right. Many very experienced listers have left the list 
(the loss of Rich Chrysler was mentioned already) or went more and more 
quiet (Garry Anderson, Roger Moment, Josef Eckert  ;-) , ?).

 

As far as I can look back I am on the list since 2000. In the beginning 
only reading messages and sometimes asking questions. Lately even posting 
some of my little knowledge.

 

You as one of the more knowledgeable guys sure will no more get as much out 
as years ago. But now you are one of the valuable sources of wisdom that 
many would regret to lose. Especially knowledgeable about the 
continental-European view and problems. So I only can ask you to stay and 
share your wisdom.

 

Kind regards

 

Reinhart

Betreff: [Healeys] List quiet

 

I suspect many listers left the list, as the quality of this information 
source went so much down over the past months and years.
This list was a phantastic pool of wisdom about 10 years ago, but nowadays 
most comming through is very low level to my mind.
Sorry, I am also very close to say good bye as its more wearing what I read 
than refreshing.
Just my opinion, but also the one of several Healey experts I know and who 
already left or just staying quiet and are no more active.

I first registered on the Healey List sometime in late 1998. Over the years there has been a number of quiet periods. Sometimes it has been technical with the internet at large [During week of Oct 16, 2016 a major part of the internet was actually hacked ] or problems with our host. At other times some knowledgeable people [ I miss Rich Chrysler] have either passed on or moved on to other interests. Then of course there is the fact of competing forms of communications. 

In the main, I have really enjoyed the Healey List and plan on remaining a member. It is amazing what you can find out and pass on to others. Of course there are always a few members that I simply must use the ?delete? button on. But that exists in any group.

For what it's worth, here is a summary.  (Hope this transmits)

I will try 30/30 and see how that works.  Seems like good numbers to me, 
too.

Once again I am impressed with the knowledge of the participants on this
list.  I received many responses (including drawings and photos) to my
removal of the center console on my "new" 66 BJ8.

There were also many many responses to the question of missing keys and
what fits what as well as how to combine keys.

The willingness of the members to share information, experiences and
knowledge is gratifying when in need of information and input.  The list
and it's members is invaluable.

Thanks again to all who responded with help.

Likewise, you can use a tire depth gauge.  This will take more time but over 
time it can indicate problems other than tire pressure.  Measure the depth 
at the inner edge of the tire, the center of the tire, and the outer edge of 
the tire.  If checked every six or so months, even wear over the width of 
the tread would indicate a pressure that is providing full tread contact 
(9-9-9).  If wear is greater at the edges, tire pressure is too low (7-9-7). 
If wear is greater in the center, pressure it too high (9-7-9).  If one edge 
is wearing more than the other, wheel alignment could be a problem (7-9-9 or 
9-9-7).

If you need an excuse to  go out and drive the car hard periodically, the 
chalk method will be your first and best choice.  The depth gauge method 
will make you check your tire pressure and wear close-up more often so I 
recommend you do that, also.

While you are down there, check the date on the tires and the condition of 
the sidewalls.  If you are getting depth readings at or below the threes or 
they are over 7 - 10 years old, you are overdue for new ones.

In a couple weeks another anniversary will happen on my Austin Healey trip through life. It will be 51 years since I was allowed to buy my first car, a raggity but running BN2. Still sitting in my garage. 
Sometimes it is not about the wisdom of a list that keeps it alive but the common love of an item and the life experiences shared. Two sons that have or have had an Austin Healey and enjoyed them. Lots or great relationships, both short and long, with folks that also enjoyed their cars over the years. Now days there are lots of ways to share or ask advise but the list is still a good way to do it. 
Have a great day. Winter is on the way.

I was able to find one of the correct blanks at an old fashioned locksmith shop near my house. The other blank he was able to quickly order. 

A typical hardware store/big box store will not have anything even close.

This works fairly well on cross-ply tires, but on normal radial tires it 
only works when pressures are really way out.
It will however work for discovering front wheel misalignment for both 
types of tire.

I have also been on the list for many years and, although I rarely
contribute, I find the most of the topics interesting and some of them
absolutely invaluable in saving me time, money and heartache (which reminds
me to stump up my annual 'subs'!).

Long may it continue.

While measuring tire wear may give historically accurate information we
really want to get it right before the tire wears unevenly.

Consider doing what is recommended at:

http://www.fluke.com/fluke/uses/comunidad/fluke-news-plus/articlecategories/automotive/racetracktemp

Admittedly much of what the site touts is not relevant to street driving
but you can get the information you need to adjust tire pressures in real
time.  And while a contact probe may be most accurate I use an infrared
pyrometer to tell me whether tire temps are increasing too much or not
enough, etc. etc.

I wish I drove my car enough to matter. I am more concerned about the age
of the tires and sidewall failure than uneven tire wear :)
That said , my car is a bit bumpy since I put the new tires on it. I think
the shop over inflated them. I need to check on them.

I have used Pete Groh  several times.  Not inexpensive but genuine Wilmot Breeder keys.

BritishCarKeys.com           (410) 750-2352

He can also cut keys on American key blanks  ( great for a backup set ) .

Always have been a pleasure to work with him.

Rob
