[Healeys] SU carb reamer needed

[Michael Oritt]

All--

I talked with Joe and he is way backed up as in several months.  It is
still nice enough here in MD to go driving about 50% of the time.  From
what lots of people say it is very possible that the wear is simply
confined to those parts of the throttle shafts which pass through the carb
body and if that is the case I will simply replace them with new standard
sized shafts.

Next time a front comes through and the roads get salted I will pull things
apart--in the meantime I am driving and in fact that is what I am going to
do today.

Best--Michael Oritt
