[Healeys] Rant - Parts don’t fit

[Perry Small]

Mike
I truly understand your pain. The real issue is that we all have the opinion that things should fit properly or be readily available or not cost an arm and a leg.....add the other possible thoughts here. 

The early Healeys were hand built, panels hand fit, and only selected suppliers providing the parts to the factory, and many of them didn’t fit. 

Couple the change in mindset in paragraph one with the changes in the assembly process in paragraph two and we are where you are at now. 

I have been doing this for 54 years and have had my hands on 100’s of Healeys and have given up on the easy way of approaching the repair and restoration of these cars and settled on the hard way for these cars being the norm. 

Let me know if I can help long distance.
