[Healeys] Fender Fastener Diagram?

[Larry Wendland]

On the my '67 BJ8 the beading pieces by the turn signals are unpainted gray plastic. I bought my Healey new in 1967 and they were never painted.

Thanks very much Steve - I really appreciate it.


Jean Caron on the list replied to me also, with actual pictures of the fasteners & confirming that the buffers were actually sprayed the same body color.


I think I'm almost ready. Almost :-)  The piping / beading pieces by the turn signals are body color, correct?


Cheers,


Neil

Neil, I've attached the appropriate sheets from the BJ7/BJ8 BMC Body Service Parts lists with the identification of the fender fasteners.  I think I have the definition of the fastener codes also if you need that.
Although I don't know for sure about the buffers, I would guess that they were installed originally after the chassis was painted, not before.

Hi all.


 

  For a 67 BJ8 - I've looked through the archive and googled to see if I could find the answer to which fasteners go where, and in which orientation.

 All I was able to come up with was a reference to some diagram that used to be on the Moss site (not there any longer that I can see), and a brief mention of reversing the direction on the fronts of the front fenders)  http://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?3,1118

 

 Similarly, the Anderson / Moment book p 161 simply says "Since the fasteners used to secure the fenders are of several different types, reference should be made to the Service Parts List for details on the correct fasteners used in each location" which I don't have :-(

 

  Can anyone lend a hand / pointer?

 

One last thing - I believe I read somewhere that the rubber buffer for the front wheel arch / fender was actually supposed to be painter body color, is this accurate? Painting rubber? Obviously the paint could have come off over the last 50 years, but the old ones had no indications or being painted.

 

Thanks for your help!

 

Neil
