As a joke, during a political campaign, one of the party running in the Quebec Provincial Election promised to introduce driving on the right-hand side of the road but like all good politicians would do, they were going to introduce it in stages, trucks, buses and semi-trailers only for the first month, and then all cars after that........

...in 2009, Samoa changed from driving on the right to driving on the left. Having experienced driving in Samoa before that, It would not have been the place to be on 8 September 2009 (despite a 2 day holiday and a 3 day ban on alcohol sales!)

I recall that there was a kind of switch back arrangement at the border between Togo and Ghana. Over the switchback and down onto the other side of the road. Or under it and swap over. It worked as a method, but once back onto their respective road(?) systems(!!!) it didn’t make a lot of difference which side of the road you were on. I’ve driven in quite a few places but Africa is the most, shall I say, interesting traffic wise.

Hello



Yes that is correct there are more people in countries that drive on the right. However it reminds me of a Margaret Thatcher quote:-



“If it is once again one against forty-eight, then I am very sorry for the forty-eight.”



Interestingly all period Bugattis made and Ferrari competition sports cars of the ‘40s, ‘50s and ‘60s were RHD.



Also far more relevant is that 92% of all Austin-Healeys were made in LHD but only require about a week’s work to convert.

FYII don't know where I got a short cotter pin for the fulcrum pin from, but it was short enough that grease came out. I have figured out that those cotter pins have to protrude about 1/4 inch above the king pin boss and then tightened a lot while moving the king pin around to get them centered.I was having play at the wheel because the cotter pin wasn't really tight and blaming worn fulcrum pins and king pins. I replaced the short pins with old long ones and all is well again.Ken Freese65 BJ8

Hello

That's been the talk of the town over the last couple of months. Plus it's not just from the US either as there was another bloke who had big problems with a DKW he imported from Germany.

BTW. There are more countries that drive on the left hand side of the road than drive on the right.

Andy,

I wish you had sent this about 6 months ago. I tried the same approach but
couldn't find the ARP parts that would fit and settled on the replacements
of unknown origin.

Subject: [Healeys] six cylinder connecting rod bolt upgrade to ARP

This might be of interest to some folk on the list.

A while ago I was looking at the six cylinder engine rod bolts and found
they are not available in high strength steel and the only options appear to
be used original or lucky-dip replacements of unknown origin. I looked at
several bolts from other engines and with the help of ARP tech support
settled on 454 Chev part number 135-6401 which are 1/16" too short and
0.0075" bigger diameter. This increases the torque from stock 50lbft to
80lbft or approx 60% higher clamping force as well as providing press-fit
location of the cap.

The caps needed spot facing to account for the reduced length which I
achieved with a 3/4" counterbore off Ebay

Morse Taper, it works just fine in a regular drill chuck.

I used a low cost adjustable HSS hand reamer
https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftradetools.co.nz%2Fproducts%2F5620400&data=02%7C01%7C%7C1c9e882b731045fef8e808d555409632%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C636508658251934223&sdata=CMGR0ix8p0KaRUyWZwda0clJyVxLt2s4pNK7tj8vfSo%3D&reserved=0 and increased the cutting diameter
gradually until the caps fit snugly onto the 'wave' section of the bolts.
There is so much variation in the stock bolt holes that some needed a lot of
reaming and some none. Bolts were installed using a brass hammer since I
don't have a press.

Some pics attached of the semi-finished rod, it has had the clamping faces
machined 0.005" each and now goes back to the engine shop for resizing the
tunnel. There are two ways of resizing, using a hone which is rather sloppy
or using a machine which is far more accurate as it doesn't increase the
sideways diameter. The bolt holes are extremely close to the bearing tunnel
so honing isn't a good option.

Cheers,
Andy.

Okay, you got my curiosity flowing. Where is the car? Is there a ball park figure you're interested in? Does it need to be put on a trailer or can it be driven in its present state? Does it have a fresh paint job? Fresh rebuild? Etc. And yes, it sounds very interesting.
Thanks,
Steven?
