Forgive me if I am posting incorrectly here, but I am searching for a list of fasteners posted some time ago entitled  
"Bolts, nuts & washers and more for BN2 cataloged.."
Anyone know where I might find it?
Thanks, 
Craig

Dave,

I had a healey radiator recored about a year ago. I took it to a shop that
recores highway trucks and industrial radiators as automotive shops don't
seem to do this type of work anymore. Once you find a shop that can do the
work discuss the make up of the core they can provide. The number of cooling
fins per inch is about 12 but check your core and there should be at least 4
rows of tubes. If you can increase the number rows of tubes to 5 it mat
provide additional cooling. The top tank, bottom tank and side should be
reused.

The finished product should be painted and pressured tested before it is
returned to you.

Harold

If you are able to reuse the original side rails and top and bottom tanks,
it should fit.

thanks for all the suggestions, it worked! 
I ended up drilling the lower portion of the wire out, pouring in some acetone to soften up the wires further, but not sure if this really helped.  Next day I used a 25" long 1/4" drill bit and after about 15-20" of drilling, which takes time, the wire harness started to shift and I was able to pull it out from the top.   But there was no way to pull a new cable through.   A 5/16 long masonry drill ($2.99 OSH clearance bin) ground down to stator tube inner diameter, about 9/32", was used to drill out all the rust, quite a bit came out of there!   Then a night soak in Evaporust and the harness (cotton/braided) slid right through without any cutting of bullets.
Kurt was right about the rust, the wire harness cover wicks up moisture and the tube rust from the inside out, reducing the inner diameter of the tube.

The Moto Lita boss need some machining to make room for the canceling arm but there was also a 3/32" or about 2.5mm protrusion of the splined section inside that needed to be milled off.
Getting closer...

Harold's advice is excellent and if followed should achieve a great result.
A couple of other points.
1. Frequently there is little wrong with an original radiator if the shop can "rod out" the core which involves removing one tank.
2. I would not recommend having the shop paint the finished product. They seem to use a very thick type of paint which never lools correct. After getting the rad back with no paint carefully degrease it then spray with satin blach from a rattle can, the result will be far superior.
