[Healeys] Tach rebuild

[i erbs]

Len,
 I hope to see you at Conclave. My intent is to drive the Healey, but I now
own an enclosed car hauler, so it may not get here under its own power. I
have a number of folks to visit on my way back and will not be driving with
the gaggle of car heading from OR. Health as always may be a factor as well.
Take care my friend.
