[Healeys] Request

[BJ8Healeys]

Hello, Healeyphiles -

 

I am trying to respond to a request from a BJ8 owner and I need some data to
do it.  I am asking all BJ8s owners to tell me the "body parts code" for
their car.  This is the number stamped on the fixed part of the bonnet latch
in front of the radiator, the driver's side (LHD) bonnet hinge, and the
bracket attaching the prop rod to the boot lid.  In order to verify the
possibility of correlation to the chassis number, I also will need your
car's chassis number.  Examples of these numbers are attached.

 

Until recently, I was not recording body parts codes in the registry so I do
not have a lot of data.  However, the data I do have shows that there is a
pattern to the numbers and it might be possible to relate a given code to an
unknown chassis number and vice versa.  The person who requested this
information is restoring chassis 41212 and has a new bonnet latch, bonnet
hinges, and boot lid.  He wants to determine the original body parts code so
he can stamp them into the appropriate parts.

 

I will report the results of this study.  Thanks for your help.
