[Healeys] Healey phase 2 rear end serial number range

[BJ8Healeys]

Wayne, I'm surprised you didn't check with the BJ8 Registry first.  The BMIHT certificates sometimes give the rear axle number, but there are apparently long strings of cars in their records  for which no rear axle number was recorded and are therefore not on the certificate.  And you are correct that some axle housings apparently have no serial number (mine doesn't).   

 

The BJ8 Registry now has data, records, and ownership history for almost exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,853 of 17,712), including copies of certificates for 935 chassis numbers (plus BMIHT data for several thousand more for which no certificate  is available).   There are 1,247 rear axle numbers identified to the chassis number currently in the registry.  Rear axle numbers for very early BJ8s were generally much higher than later ones and could vary widely in sequence with the chassis number (e.g., chassis 25317 had rear axle 23564, chassis 25507 had rear axle 28736;  but chassis 26898 had rear axle 505).  Later cars seem to have a more reliable pattern to the numbers.

 

What are the serial numbers you are interested in?

I am trying to date a couple late BJ-8 rear end housings by their serial numbers. Does anyone have that information from 1965 to 1967? I understand that not all housings had serial numbers. 

 

                       Thanks

                        Wayne
