This list is great, and I have been on it for 30 years, but I am suddenly having weird problems with my 98 XJ8 and need Jag help. The front passenger window opens on its own when the engine is started. The lift switches for that window do not function. I can however close the window by using my key in the door lock. Sounds like typical Lucas electrics gone bad. At least my Healey is easy and starlight forward, making most fixes fairly easy. Any help would be appreciated.

I started to thread in a UNF bolt to mount the master cylinder and the familiar one turn and then stop when I am using the wrong thread on this car appeared.? I firmly believe if it's hard to do, you are doing it wrong.? Also, can someone confirm the horizontal part of the split air director that mounts behind the radiator grill is attached with two of the screws for the bumper apron?? I see no other attachment points other than the top of the air director vertical panel after it is bolted to the horizontal panel.? Where is the top attachment point on the body for the vertical panel?? This would be much easier if I had someone's BN1/2 to look at during assembly, but I am on my own pretty much relying on pictures I can find on the internet.Mike MacLean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This list is great, and I have been on it for 30 years, but I am suddenly having weird problems with my 98 XJ8 and need Jag help. The front passenger window opens on its own when the engine is started. The lift switches for that window do not function. I can however close the window by using my key in the door lock. Sounds like typical Lucas electrics gone bad. At least my Healey is easy and starlight forward, making most fixes fairly easy. Any help would be appreciated.

This is why I ask questions about small details of assembly.Mike MacLean On Friday, November 6, 2020, 8:15:22 AM PST, john harper wrote: Curtis Yes this is.

Can someone please confirm to me that the mounting bolts for the master cylinder on a BN1/2 is BSF threads or UNF.? I started to thread in a UNF bolt to mount the master cylinder and the familiar one turn and then stop when I am using the wrong thread on this car appeared.? I firmly believe if it's hard to do, you are doing it wrong.? Also, can someone confirm the horizontal part of the split air director that mounts behind the radiator grill is attached with two of the screws for the bumper apron?? I see no other attachment points other than the top of the air director vertical panel after it is bolted to the horizontal panel.? Where is the top attachment point on the body for the vertical panel?? This would be much easier if I had someone's BN1/2 to look at during assembly, but I am on my own pretty much relying on pictures I can find on the internet.Mike MacLean _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation? $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive Healeys at autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/cnaarndt at gmail.com _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation? $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive Healeys at autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/ah100tech at gmail.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The old cover was fully attached as designed but inside was full of fine dust and road dirt. The dust cover has a small opening through which the push rod travels, but, that opening is not very tight and clearly allows a lot of road dirt to enter.

You could try rubber cement, which should be flexible but would be a bear to align as you roll the paper; once rubber cement touches itself, it'll stick. As for paper, I have some brown painter's paper in a long roll from the local home center. It is meant to take the paint and not bleed through. That might be useful with glue. I'd do a test run of the materials before applying it to the real thing. Kent McLean 1956 100 BN2 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Before I found that he could supply them I considered wrapping paper tape( the kind used for sealing boxes) around a pipe with the adhesive out. Then wind the wire tightly. Then apply an outer layer of the same tape, adhesive in, wound in the opposite direction. I've never tried it but intend to do so next time I need some.

They include 5 rear axle hubs, a cleaned and painted rear end housing for a BJ-8 in good shape, A couple of 3:9 rear differentials that are in good shape but will need shimming. I removed some of the shims to rebuild other units. Two usable oil pans, one has had a new lower pan nicely welded on. They were removed to install alloy pans from running cars. Also two original radiators from running cars. If yourare interested in any of these parts contact me at waschu2 at gmail.com and I can supply pictures as needed. I really don't want to ship because of the size and weight of most of these parts, but I will consider doing so. I would like it if these parts went to local Healey owners in need?

Roger machined a billet aluminum cylinder the correct diameter and then had the correct spiral machined into the surface. The depth of the machined spiral was half the diameter of the wire. He then would the proper gauge wire into the groves of the cylinder and secured the ends. Then he found a thin light brown paper and cut it to size, and then soaked it in a solution of warm water and "Elmers" glue. Before wrapping the paper around the cylinder he sprayed it with a coating of WD-40. After wrapping the paper onto the cylinder, he then wound a soft braided nylon cord in between the spirals of the wire to hold the form. Then hang it up to dry. Once dry, the tube can be screwed off of the cylinder. The WD-40 aids in this process. Done and perfect!

I have the arrangement I bought from Tom's Toy Import for my BN2 trans in a BN2 chassis.? The pictures from Resto Nation just threw me off a bit.? Thanks for straitening me out guys.Mike MacLean On Sunday, November 8, 2020, 3:51:09 PM PST, Ray Juncal wrote: Mike nailed it. The first photo is a fabricated part made when the trans swap was done in order to use the BN-1 restraint bar with the BN-2 trans. BN-1 has a cast in mount in the same place as your fabricated one. See photo of BN-1 trans, mount in center of photo.

My BJ8 does the same, but I haven't driven the BN2 enough to say it does too (I presume it does/will). You said 'would not restart,' as in it would crank, but not fire, or wouldn't crank? When a marginal starter gets heat-soaked they often won't crank the engine as fast which, of course, makes starting more difficult. Same with a heat-soaked, marginal fuel pump; it might not pump well enough to (at least partly) overcome cavitation in the fuel line.

I fixed the poor starting power by cleaning the negative and positive connections. I replaced the negative clamp on the battery. Once you know positively the you have a solid grounds and a fully charged battery it is amazing how the engine will start when the engine is hot. Also, I had my radiator boiled out, installed a pusher fan with manual switch so that I can turn on the fan when driving under 4k rpm and I leave it on while idling before shutting off. Inaddition i installed a shovel between the radiator and the front frame member to direct air into the radiator instead of under the car. This is on a recently rebuilt engine. so now when the engine is at over 200 degrees the engine starts. And when driving at 40 mph in traffic and the temperature drops to 212 without the fan and at 70 plus on the freeway it operates at around 200. I should have wrapped the exhaust manifold etc. Will do next time I feel like taking off the carbs.

Make sure though that you replace it in the same position you took it off (mark with centre punch or permanent marker). If you do not this you may upset the balance if the crankshaft, as in properly rebuild engines the crankshaft is balanced with the flywheel and clutch assembly fitted.

When the engine is turned off residual heat soaks out of the engine and boils the fuel in the float bowls. Try cooling the float bowls with a spray of water or a wet rag. If that solves it you know the problem, although not necessarily the solution.

My BJ8 does the same, but I haven't driven the BN2 enough to say it does too (I presume it does/will). You said 'would not restart,' as in it would crank, but not fire, or wouldn't crank? When a marginal starter gets heat-soaked they often won't crank the engine as fast which, of course, makes starting more difficult. Same with a heat-soaked, marginal fuel pump; it might not pump well enough to (at least partly) overcome cavitation in the fuel line.

Before tackling it try to determine that the springs that you are installing are reasonably close to spec. as it is a real pain to have to change them if they aren't. Put the axle in position, preferably without the brake back plates installed, then install the springs without attaching them to the axle. Sometimes after attaching the front you have to put a wood block above the rear end of the spring and jack up the center to get the rear shackle pins in place. You may need a heavy person to sit in the trunk to prevent the car from lifting as you do this. Next use a couple of *very stout* zip ties to tie the axle down tightly to the frame on one side. Then on the other side use a very large and strong "C" clamp to pull the spring up to the axle. which will allow you to install the square shaped "U" bolts. (the wire ties are required to prevent the axle pivoting up on the opposite frame rail as you do this "C" clamp thing. (Take care and your time as there is a lot of stored energy in that compressed spring) Leaving the zip ties in place repeat the "C" clamp process on the other side. The bad news about this is that the new springs will sag after a couple of years and eventually you will have to repeat the entire process!!!

Also remember to position the strap so it is not in the way when you put the u-bolts in place.? Easy peasy.? See attached photos.

Most of the shops have to use .065 stock. Therefore, since my early BN1 used the "A" type neg. camber spring (really wimpy) I chose to have the spring shop only make the leaves that were broken. The finished package has to fit the original U clamp and plate and if you use all .065 material, it is too thick and stiff. Additionally, on the early frame, it is a flat floor, so there is not room for a thick rolled end to fit in the space. You cannot replace them with "C" type double eye springs. My ride height appears to be normal, as configured now; not as low as I have seen on some other squatty 100s. -----------------------------------------From: "Michael MacLean via Healeys" To: "S.Carr", "Michael Salter" Cc: "healeys" Sent: Saturday November 14 2020 9:00:45AM Subject: Re: [Healeys] BN1 rear springs I bought my springs from here.

Before tackling it try to determine that the springs that you are installing are reasonably close to spec. as it is a real pain to have to change them if they aren't.Put the axle in position, preferably without the brake back plates installed, then install the springs without attaching them to the axle. Sometimes after attaching the front you have to put a wood block above the rear end of the spring and jack up the center to get the rear shackle pins in place. You may need a heavy person to sit in the trunk to prevent the car from lifting as you do this. Next use a couple of _VERY STOUT_ zip ties to tie the axle down tightly to the frame on one side. Then on the other side use a very large and strong "C" clamp to pull the spring up to the axle. which will allow you to install the square shaped "U" bolts. (the wire ties are required to prevent the axle pivoting up on the opposite frame rail as you do this "C" clamp thing. (Take care and your time as there is a lot of stored energy in that compressed spring) Leaving the zip ties in place repeat the "C" clamp process on the other side. The bad news about this is that the new springs will sag after a couple of years and eventually you will have to repeat the entire process!!!

Gerry and his wife Marion were guests in our home several times while I was president of the Austin-Healey Club Pacific Centre and we have stayed in touch through Christmas cards and occasional visits ever since. Gerry was the most delightful person to meet, as thousands of Healey enthusiasts who met him over the years knows. In 2002, the last time Gerry was in my home, he gave me a print of his original plane view of the Healey Hundred that he had tinted and signed, and he signed my Donald Healey print of the Austin-Healey BN7 with hard-top, a perfect image of the car I have in my garage to this day.Gerry was one of the most innovative designers imaginable, and I will always remember the chats we had together about those days in 1952 when, as a new automobile designer just getting his start, Donald had asked him to sketch out his ideas for a new sports car, and from them engineered and built the revolutionary Healey 100.I've posted the pictures on my wall on my Facebook page.

I had a 59' engine rebuilt in SLC by a local engine builder. When I had my 57' Longbridge rebuilt the only problem was after boring it out I had to use later pistons and rods as early 100-6 clamp type pistons were unobtainable.

Interesting topic and I marched out to find out my seat time. I purchased my BJ8 30 yrs ago or so on a cold December night . At the the time the clock showed confirmed with documentation 50,396 miles. Today by surprise, I checked the clock and it showed 98,936! That said I have put 48,540 enjoyable miles on her as of 11/17/2020! My goal has always been to drive more miles then any other owner or owners(3rd), then at point I will consider her finally mine with more seat time and mileage then any other driver . On that day god willing, we will celebrate with a beer for me and few fresh quarts of oil for her!!

When I bought my BJ8 I rediscovered my love of cars--dormant since my teenage years--and with my father's tutelage began to acquire my (meager) mechanical skills. After my dad started helping me with my car--and drove it 600 miles over two days to 'break in the engine'--he decided he didn't dislike 'foreign cars' after all and, all on his own found and bought our BN2/100M, which we restored together over 10 years (while he fought two bouts with cancer). My son--who just finished a 260-day tour on a Navy cruiser on the South China Sea--helped a little, but hasn't yet 'caught the bug,' but enjoyed taking a couple long road trips with his old man. My annual road trips with my BFF were usually the highlights of my solar orbits. We lost Dad two years ago this December at 87 years-old, he'd hoped to make it to 90 because "It's a nice round number." You'll have to excuse me, I seem to have gotten some wildfire smoke in my eyes.

Noticed something leaking. First thought was the radiator overflow. Nope! Checked the radiator, the hoses and the pump which all looked good and there was no "hissing" or steam from any cooling system parts. Whatever is leaking was a watery black liquid (definitely not antifreeze) coming from the underside of the steering box. What makes no sense is that it only starts to leak with the engine running. It appears to be a fairly constant flow and fairly rapid but stops as soon as the engine is shut down. It is coming from the bottom front of the steering box not from the steering arm where it leaves the box. Whatever is leaking only feel a little oily but is very watery and black. I don't have power steering so there isn't any increase in pressure with the engine running, plus it doesn't look or feel like power steering fluid. I have run out of ideas.

In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <24dde09e-34cb-19d5-50f1-5e2bb1d532b4@comcast.net> Both carbs have to come off, as they're on studs and the throttle shafts are connected (the connector slides out, but only after you have the carbs out). Unfortunately, there are no secrets or tricks; but you'll want to use a 'stubby' end wrench (or cut a cheap half-inch end wrench in half). Last time I removed them from my BJ8, I went in from the front under both carbs to get the the lower/forward nut on the rear carb, which is the most difficult to reach. I have numerous scars on my hands and forearms from this and other mechanical endeavors (and working in an almond orchard; sometimes those trees feel like they have millions of fish hooks hanging from their branches). I don't remember which car you have, but since you'll have both carbs on the bench it would be a good time to go through them and replace any worn parts (diaphragm for HD, packing for others). In fact, your leak could be from a split diaphragm it you have HD carbs.

Anyway they have to make a show and the result of their work is not that important. If you look closely enough that shows. SU's are certainly not rubbish.? In fact they are a very clever design. However it is not easy to get them absolutely identical which makes it sometimes difficult to get them synchronised over the whole rpm range. On a tuned engine it is complicated to get the needle profile and dashpot spring right from scratch. On older cars with SUs you have the problem of spindle wear/false air, leakages and sometimes sticking pistons because of wear, dirt or vibrations. I had SU's on my Triumph Spitfire and worked on them for others on A-H, MG, Mini, TR, Sunbeamand on Strombergs (similar to SU) on TR5/6, Saab, Volvo, Jensen-Healey. Spindle wear was nearly always an issue. A Double Weber/DellOrto set up has a barrel for each cylinder which makes for better breathing, no moving parts other than the butterflies and accelerator pump and its spindles are on sealed ball bearings so no wear/false air or leakage. They are very simple to set up on a rolling road if you are properly equipped specialist with a large choice of chokes and jets and once set up properly you do not have to touch them for a long time. Many clubs have information on the jetting and the venturies to be used. Failure of the diaphragm of the accelerator pumps is extremely rare. In more that 40 years it never happened to me. The gas mileage for both a properly set up SU set or Weber/DellOrto set are very similar but Webers/DellOrtos perform better on full throttle and high rpm. I have a double DellOrto DHLA set up on my car (J-H) and I have not touched them for years. If need be they are easy to balance without the need of vacuum gauges and even setting the idle mixture without CO meter or Colourtunes is easy enough if your ears are alright.

I had it done so that it would work with electronic ignition or points. It?s more expensive to rebuild for electronic ignition, IIRC $315 including return shipping. I think it is $285 to have it rebuilt for points. It becomes electronic pick up instead of induction pick up, i.e. the loop in the back of the tach is replaced by a single wire sticking out. You have to connect that single wire to the distributor side of the coil. I used the white w/ black tracer wire for the trunk battery master switch that grounds the points. I had to cut it off from the wire that it is paired with and add a spade connector to attach it to the other coil terminal. This wire has a junction right in front of the driver side of the firewall. I replaced the single Lucas connector with a double and tied the white wire from the tach into that wire and ran it through an existing grommet hole in the firewall. This connects the distributor side of the coil and the tach without adding a non-original looking wire to your harness. It grounds the tach when the battery switch is off, which of course is not a problem. My only complaint is that the tachometer needle seems to have a lot of dampening, but that shouldn?t really be an issue.

The replacement parts were from Borg & Beck, the EOM. However, I had some serious problems with the clutch disc as they had just changed the design of the cages that retain the springs. I had the g'box out and in again three times and was getting very quick at it, although that is not a skill I ever wanted to excel in. In the end, I cleaned up the pressure plate and de-greased the old clutch disc plate, and put the old stuff back in and it has been functioning fine, albeit I know the pressure plate is still scored somewhat. I am rebuilding the motor this winter and as I will dynamically balance the rotating parts, I want to put a new pressure plate in so they can be balanced together. Although the problem with the clutch a few years ago was not with the pressure plate, and I suspect B&B have fixed the problem with the clutch disc as this seemed to be a unique problem, I still have a preference for using an NOS pressure plate, or at least an older, but unused replacement B&B pressure plate. I have since secured an NOS clutch disc (thanks Mike Salter!). My question to the group is whether anyone has an older but new (i.e., unused) 10" B&B pressure plate that is surplus to needs and that they would part with? Many thanks for any help provided.

The temperature on the gauge stayed at 212 degrees until driving the last few miles so I switched on the fan which kept the temperature below 230 degrees. Drove the car into the garage and let it idle for a few minutes and turned it off. The temperature was over 230 degrees which is normal. I waited 5 minutes and tried to turn on the engine. It groaned and suites downed and no electric functions. Since yesterday when turning on the ignition the fuel pump operates, but, when I engage the starter everything shuts down. I checked the 2 fuses and they are fine. Where do I begin to restore starting the engine. Bob Begani.

Also check the starter relay and the earth strap connections. 212F (boiling point water) is way to high to see on the temperature gauge under normal conditions, not to mention 230F. It should be well below 190F0-200F depending on your thermostat. It would be wise to check the gauge for accuracy. It may be faulty as you do not mention any boiling.The actual boiling point of the coolant is higher because the anti-freeze/anti corrosion additives and also because of the pressure in the cooling system.

Last I heard, converting an electronic tach for use with a Pertronix costs $200-300, and the 'do-it-yourself' instructions are fairly complex, so I'm passing this along for general information. *Disclaimer: This worked for me; maybe there's a 'trick,' or maybe I just got lucky. I did calibrate my tach once--to an external tach/dwell meter and confirmed with radar/gear ratio calculations--but I don't recall that it was related to the Pertronix install.* In the engine bay, the white wire (12V) is spliced to the black lead from the Pertronix--pos. gnd. car and Pertronix--and the black/white striped lead goes to the -/SW terminal on the coil (the coil will work either way, but puts out a bit more voltage if it's properly wired). Note the Pertronix switches current to the coil 'upstream' of the coil, whereas points switch the current to ground 'downstream' of the coil. The white/black wire from the +/CB terminal on the coil is the ground; when the cutoff switch is in the 'on' position the coil is connected to ground, whereas on a points system the wire is switched to ground when the coil is in the 'off' position (current is shunted around the coil). You can switch the two small leads on the cutoff switch to accomplish this; I used a large ring crimp terminal as one of the terminals on the switch is larger than the other. It's been years, but IIRC I had to cut the spade lug on the ignition switch in order to route it through the pickup. If you want, you could cut the wire, temporarily splice it together as you try out different routing, then permanently splice them together (the ignition switch on a BJ8 is a PITA? to get to, you have to pull the console). The underdash photos show the inductive pickup on the tach. I forgot about the little 'clip' the wire goes through, that may be part of the secret to making the tach work. The white wire in the foreground is ganged-up on the ignition switch on the 'run' terminal, the other half of it goes into the wire loom and comes out as the white wire I've spliced to the Pertronix black lead in the engine bay. I've included the schematic from the shop manual in case you don't have it. Remember not to leave the key in the 'run' position with power for more than a couple minutes; it will fry a Pertronix (Pertronix II/III have protection from this, but last I checked with Pertronix--about a year ago--they don't make the II/IIIs for pos. gnd.). -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Brought in two spare gearboxes to Eric Grunden (Absolutely British) to rebuild my original. While my original was around #7300, the two spares were before #5146, however upon disassembly and inspection, both spares had been converted to the newer gears decades ago. I managed to sell one set of gears to Eric, since he was also rebuilding an early gearbox for a Moss Motors customer that had the early gears, and was toast... Win, win!

The temps seem very high. You didn?t mention oil pressure while this was happening. My first impulse would be to try turning the engine over manually to make sure the problem isn?t a spun bearing. Then check the starter, solenoid, power supply and low current circuit conditions respectively. I realize that the usual sequence is to work through the least expensive items first, but in this case damage can be done to the cheaper components if the more serious ones are not cleared first.

The temperature on the gauge stayed at 212 degrees until driving the last few miles so I switched on the fan which kept the temperature below 230 degrees. Drove the car into the garage and let it idle for a few minutes and turned it off. The temperature was over 230 degrees which is normal. I waited 5 minutes and tried to turn on the engine. It groaned and suites downed and no electric functions. Since yesterday when turning on the ignition the fuel pump operates, but, when I engage the starter everything shuts down. I checked the 2 fuses and they are fine. Where do I begin to restore starting the engine.

I just installed the Pertronix (points conversion) system and coil and now the tach does not read correctly. The comments mentioned that tachs had to be rebuilt specifically for the pertonics conversion. Several places that repair/rebuild/calibrate our Smiths tachometer with the Pertronix ignition system were recommended. As I put the car away for winter, I would like to get the tach repaired/rebuilt/calibrated. I have lost those comments and therefore the links to those repair sources.

Everyone has their own experiences. I guess I was one of the lucky ones. I installed my Pertronix in July of 2000. There was no effect on the tachometer. In June of 2004, my tach started reading incorrectly. Based upon an article by Frank Filangeri (source unknown), "BJ8 Tachometer Reads High", I swapped out the capacitor marked ".2 uf" drilled a hole in the back of the case to access the adjustable pot on the back of the circuit board, and after reinstalling the tach in the dashboard, calibrated it to match an external tachometer. It has been running accurately ever since.

In general an air compressor will not use an awful lot of Amps. It may well be that the switch you have is sufficient. A rough give away of the Amps used would be the thickness of the wires to the compressor.

Mine shows a poor picture of the choke abutment on pg 38 but there is not enough detail to really figure out what it is.

I have worked extensively on AHX12 and AHX14 and learned a lot about these differences. The pic I sent: [image: image.png] Although Rich Chrysler did have the engine out of this car and the pic is not very clear is definitely of the type that I have seen on many original cars, particularly earlier ones.

As far as the Fiesta is concerned, I am just wondering why, other than money, would DMH align himself with a Ford product that, at the time, was just an econobox, and not a very good one at that. As Rick Neville indicated, apparently it was a quick little car, I certainly never drove it, basically read the articles about it, first in Road & Track magazine. Its rarity is not in question, I guess, for me it is so totally different that what we were used to see from the Healey family, especially being associated with a Ford product. At that time, the Japanese cars, such as the Datsun, Toyota and Honda were far better cars in that same configuration of models that to me, it would have better suited their image.

The rwd Sunbeam/Talbot Lotus was developed from the Sunbeam Ti as a pure rally beast with the Vauxhall slant 4 derived 2.2 ltr Lotus 911 engine (an enlarged 907) and was very successful at that. Around 250hp in rally trim and 160hp in standard road trim. They are a hoot to drive thanks to the high power/low torque engine, the low weight and the short wheel base. The US spec fwd Ford Fiesta was just jazzed up slightly with some small engine (80hp) and bodywork mods. Healey had very little to do with the car, he just lend his name for well needed cash.

They are a hoot to drive thanks to the high power/low torque engine ..." I think that's a European take; Americans like torquey engines. Even my Mustang, with 480HP--and comparable max torque--and a 7,400RPM redline annoys me with its lack of torque below 3,000RPM (a bit of clutch slippage is required for launch). After over 13K miles with it, and 120K miles with a previous model, I still manage to stall it occasionally at launch; I never stall my grunt-heavy Healeys (you can pretty much dump the clutch at idle, it might ping a little but it'll crawl off). Maybe that's why Americans preferred Healeys over many high-strung European cars? Many torquey pushrod engines are still in production and popular here--Chevy and Dodge come to mind--and, for better-or-worse, diesels are common where I live. Of course, drag racing is more popular here than elsewhere. Bob On 11/30/2020 2:35 AM, Kees Oudesluijs via Healeys wrote: > These two cars are totally different and cannot be compared.

Here are the scanned photos of AHX11 engine and choke fixing. Yes, as you say there are many differences between them and the production as Bill noted here that top of the carb suction plunger is round rather than hex. (at least you can't wrench it too tight) I do believe the choke fixing is as was done on the early production cars. Using the short eye, so that it can fit between the fuel pipe and the bracket, it could assemble as shown here and in your photo. I did not have the short eye item...maybe you have a spare to correct my car (built 10-53)? The one shown on Perry's car uses the longer eye with a v-shaped pinch washer.(later config.) My notes say that AHX11, built 4-1-53, the Turin Show car, restored, was auctioned in 2004 and appears on Healey Data.com, currently located in Derby, UK Regards, Hank -----------------------------------------From: "Michael Salter" To: "Hank Leach" Cc: "healeys at autox.team.net" Sent: Sunday November 29 2020 11:21:47AM Subject: Re: FW: Re: [Healeys] BN1 Choke Cable Hank, you must have a totally different edition of Piggott's book to the one I have. Mine shows a poor picture of the choke abutment on pg 38 but there is not enough detail to really figure out what it is.I would caution against using pictures of the pre-production cars for accurate information on production cars as there were many many differences.I have worked extensively on AHX12 and AHX14 and learned a lot about these differences.The pic I sent:Although Rich Chrysler did have the engine out of this car and the pic is not very clear is definitely of the type that I have seen on many original cars, particularly earlier ones. M On Sun, Nov 29, 2020 at 2:00 PM wrote: If you look in the book "Austin-Healey 100 in Detail" by Piggott on pg. 50 is a good photo of the actual correct fitting as used on AHX11 (a Warwick car). Note that, unlike the photo I sent you of my incorrect fitting, the correct hardware is a stubby eye which goes thru the backside of the bracket...being stubby it does not interfere with the fuel pipe and then it is attached using a loctal nut and thick washer on the outside. If this was in fact carried thru into production, it would be the preferable connection to use. You must have that stubby eye or it won't work. The one I had was too long to mount behind the bracket, so I went with the clip.(see photo DSC02998.JPG [2]) Moss has the bracket between the two carbs 372-295 and an abutment 378-025 (but no photo of it). So I'm not sure that it is the item needed...no illustrations shown for the choke mechanism. Not in the shop book either. I think I would go with the one shown in the Piggott book if you have the correct parts.

As you experienced, not having a solid description, I winged the fitting a few times. Here are pictures of the first tries. The clamp that squeezes on the outer cable was in the wrong place. Both the one I sent, and the photo from Michael, go thru the bracket in the correct direction and put the cable in the proper location, vertically over the choke levers. The cable passes thru the eye on the backside of the bracket. The clamp pinches the cable just enough to hold it fixed while the inner cable can move. The actual nut and washer differed on early to later cars. I think the later cars used a loctal nut and the earlier used a thin BSF nut and spring washer. You might check this description with Michael as well.

I love high revving engines. The best ones were the small Honda's in the 60's like the S800, 4-carb 790cc DOHC all of 75hp at 8000rpm and in race trim quite a bit more at around 10.000rpm. Very fast on the track together with the Fiat Abarths and Mini Coopers of the time. Ran rings around the mustangs. These cars are much better suited to European roads than heavy US iron. On long straight roads with a bad surfaces the US cars were on top though. It culminated in the Honda S2000 of some years back. Kees Oudesluijs Op 30-11-2020 om 18:12 schreef Bob Spidell: > re: "...

A short look in Bill Emerson's, The Healey Book did show me that there was only one prototype built. Interesting: On the two pages about the Healey Fiesta Bill did write about an "Escort by Healey" too and there is a picture of postcard produced by Ford of America as the only known proof. Bill ends here: "Where is it now?"

Yes they do Rick.? Keys are mainly for switch locks.? There is a key for the back door of the cab.? You close and lock the front door from the inside and leave by the back door.? The caboose has door keys.? Even though the major railroads are not maintaining the caboose that are left, they use them for a shoving platform for a crew member to stand on and report to the engineer that is backing up a train when to stop or how fast to go.? I also have switch keys for Amtrak locks, UP locks and keys from the San Diego sub.? As a railroaded you have all kinds of keys.Mike M (former switchman, conductor and engineer on BNSF Railway) Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail on Android On Mon, Nov 30, 2020 at 2:42 PM, HealeyRick wrote: Do locomotives have keys??
