[Healeys] Fasteners and Air Intake Stuff

[Michael MacLean]

 OK you guys.  Don't be throwing RHD parts around that are NOT on my LHD car.  It's confusing enough assembling a car from a bare frame with no example to go by.  Every time I have to assemble something I have to deal with the mystery of what fastener length, thread or "triangular adapter" parts I need to install a part.  If it were not for the internet where I can search for pictures of an assembly and the generosity of the members on this list, I might never finish this car.  This is why I ask questions about small details of assembly.Mike MacLean

Yes this is. I should have remembered that the States and some other countries are LHD.
Best regards

Hi John,
I'm not familiar with the "triangular aluminum adapter plate " on the BN1/2 master cylinder mounting.  Is this a RHD thing?
Cheers,
Curt

As you say UNF but it might be worth adding that the triangular aluminium adapter plate has a short countersunk bolt that is also UNF. 
Sometimes new owners when rebuilding are not aware of this plate and cannot work out how to fit the master cylinder.

Both of the master cylinder mounting bolts on most (most likely all) BN1s and definitely all BN2s were UNF.  You may have to run a 5/16 UNF tap into the holes to clean them out.

Healey 100 listers,     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
