[Healeys] Austin Healey Parts Lists for the BN4 through BJ8 are now online

[jnew at hazelden.ca]

OK, so there was enough interest to add zip files of each parts list  
to the site. They are there now.

I have had reports of the Parts Lists not working from a hard drive.  
It seems some of the modern browsers refuse to load the files for  
security reasons; browsers from 15 years ago weren't quite as  
locked-down as they are today. There's nothing dangerous about the  
files, just coding anomalies that the browser doesn't like. If that  
happens to you, send me a report and I will see what I can do to fix it.

>> So in the spirit of community, I have put the Austin Healey Parts Lists

>> http://lbcdigital.com. These aren't just PDFs of the Parts Lists, these are
>> transcribed, fully searchable databases that are presented in a similar
>> format as the original publications. You can search for part numbers and
>> keywords, and even print pages.
>>
>> Over the years, I felt that the hundreds of hours of effort that I put in

>> all that work. But then I realized that the digitized Parts Lists really
>> should belong to the Healey community. I understand now that helping to keep
>> our Healeys on the road is the reward.
>>
>> Enjoy!
