Message-ID: <5dbfac599829bc304624a21e0beb737672ac2e5e@webmail> Ah, the wavy grille. This was designed by Eric Neele, engineer at Jensen, to be used on the first 100-6 body produced by Jensen. The powers to be wanted a departure from the 100 vertical bars and Neele came up with this look, and the tractor seats, to be installed in the 4-place Healey BN4 (a misnomer as the "N" stands for two seat roadster). (photo) As you know over the years the vertical treatment came back to represent the original Healey look. As Michael indicates, the parts bins had lots of those grilles, and they got used as standard equipment on many models from BMC.

He made a point out of keeping vertical lines in the grilles of the 100 because Healeys always had vertical lines in their grilles. He was not a fan of the horizontal grilles at all. Personally, I like them on the 100 6's and the early 3000's, but that's just me and of course those horizontal lines would never have worked in the 100 grille. ???In fact I remember him saying when he was tasked with fixing the fit of the grilles on the 100 6's, he said there wasn't much he could really do as they had ruined the look already with the horizontal grille. ???If you haven't seen it, here's the interview I did back in 2008 with Gerry Coker at the AH Conclave in San Diego.??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPHbli48uLM? ???Steven Kingsbury ???BN1 (Getting close to being drivable again) On October 1, 2020 at 1:04 PM, Michael Oritt via Healeys wrote: "So the conclusion seems to be that BL had a collection of wavy bars in the 50s that the cut and refitted until they ran out." --------------------------------- What a surprise....

As to the additional tractor seats, I?m afraid it had nothing to do with a Jensen design, although they did modify the first car to see if it would work. That vehicle has the standard AH 100 wheelbase and after it was realised that only legless dwarves would fit, was the decision made to stretch the production 100/6 by two inches. That car now sits in my garage. Our 100 BN3 besides being a six-cylinder prototype was also the first Austin-Healey to be fitted with the extra seats. The attached photo might be of interest as it shows the rough and ready way this was done.

Ah, the wavy grille. This was designed by Eric Neele, engineer at Jensen, to be used on the first 100-6 body produced by Jensen. The powers to be wanted a departure from the 100 vertical bars and Neele came up with this look, and the tractor seats, to be installed in the 4-place Healey BN4 (a misnomer as the "N" stands for two seat roadster). (photo) As you know over the years the vertical treatment came back to represent the original Healey look. As Michael indicates, the parts bins had lots of those grilles, and they got used as standard equipment on many models from BMC.

Also, Rich being Rich and liking to use correct English nomenclature when it comes to Healeys, he may have used "headlamp" instead of "headlight".

Many years ago my Dad went along with me to show me how to aim the headlamps on my old '61 MGA. We went out onto a quiet straight flat stretch of country road at night and stopped on the road in the normal lane position of travel (making sure it was a place where there would be no other traffic). With headlamp rings already removed and adjusters accessible, we first placed my jacket over the left headlamp and proceeded to aim the right lamp so the beam was about 30 ft. ahead and clearly defining the edge of the pavement and the shoulder. I was told that this is important when having to find the edge of the road in bad conditions such as fog, snow and so on. Then we proceeded to cover the right lamp and aim the left. This was set about straight ahead and much further out, about 80 ft. or so, and being careful that it did not shine to the left to impair oncoming drivers. This has the lamps working as a team, curbside one to always clearly light the right edge of the road and onto the shoulder somewhat, while the left showed up the distance. A double check was done by checking the high beam to make sure the left (distance) lamp still did not shine too high and be useless or too far to the oncoming lane. It's always worked well for me.

I figured someone would have information. We did record the movie, but haven't watched it yet. Leo McKern is one of my favorites... "Ah, I'm being called by She Who Must be Obeyed." I did see the same thing with them clipping a wider mirror into the original holder to do the "two-shot." But the wider mirror would actually be a nice accessory. Wonder if anyone ever made them? And my favorite Healey siting scene is still one of the closing scenes of On the Beach, where she stands next to her BN6, watching the submarine come out under the Sydney bridge. Good eyes can spot the stock factory blanking plate in the cockpit filling the space where the heater controls would have gone, since the car had been produced for warmer climes without a heater.

Photo 18 in the supplement shows the Shelley LJ21 and 3 sets of jack handles, the bottom set being for the LJ21, which should therefore be the correct ones for the KD B. 1881 as well. The caption provides the lengths for the other two sets of handles, but not the handle length for the LJ21! The text does not provide the lengths either. The bottom set in Photo 18 look to be intermediate between the other two sets, perhaps around 18"? Does anyone have a set of handles that are correct for the Shelly LJ21/King Dick B. 1881 that they could measure the lengths of for me? This would be a useful addition to the next version of the guide. With thanks, Mirek -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The handles for the LJ 21 are very close, and are also 14" long with the only difference being that the handle end that fits into the LJ 21 jack is just the square rod with a spring loaded ball in the end, and does not have the larger rounded end with spring loaded ball like the other aforementioned jacks have.

Leo McKern was born in Sydney in 1920 and died in the UK in 2002. An interesting snippet about McKern was that he was frightened of flying so used to do his international travelling by cargo ship. A bit of a mix-up with ?On the Beach? as the car was a BN4 and still exists in our state of Victoria plus the scenes of the film were set in an around Melbourne and not Sydney.

I figured someone would have information. We did record the movie, but haven't watched it yet. Leo McKern is one of my favorites... "Ah, I'm being called by She Who Must be Obeyed." I did see the same thing with them clipping a wider mirror into the original holder to do the "two-shot." But the wider mirror would actually be a nice accessory. Wonder if anyone ever made them? And my favorite Healey siting scene is still one of the closing scenes of On the Beach, where she stands next to her BN6, watching the submarine come out under the Sydney bridge. Good eyes can spot the stock factory blanking plate in the cockpit filling the space where the heater controls would have gone, since the car had been produced for warmer climes without a heater.

The final scene is of the submarine leaving, not Sydney Harbour, but Port Phillip Bay, heading toward Bass Straight. My father had an Australian office in Melbourne and several of his staff were? extras? in some scenes. They said it was a lot of fun. Some of the track footage was, I believe, shot at the wonderful circuit at Phillip Island, which many Australian and New Zealand motorsport followers know well.

My father had an Australian office in Melbourne and several of his staff were? extras? in some scenes. They said it was a lot of fun.

I figured someone would have information. We did record the movie, but haven't watched it yet. Leo McKern is one of my favorites... "Ah, I'm being called by She Who Must be Obeyed." I did see the same thing with them clipping a wider mirror into the original holder to do the "two-shot." But the wider mirror would actually be a nice accessory. Wonder if anyone ever made them? And my favorite Healey siting scene is still one of the closing scenes of On the Beach, where she stands next to her BN6, watching the submarine come out under the Sydney bridge. Good eyes can spot the stock factory blanking plate in the cockpit filling the space where the heater controls would have gone, since the car had been produced for warmer climes without a heater.

I've become a "collector" of films that have Healeys in them and have well over a hundred of them, but this wasn't one. In watching the movie, I was wondering why it had such an oversized rear view mirror until I saw they used it to reflect both the driver and passenger in the car in the same shot. As a Mercedes guy, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Gullwing Mercedes in the final scene, driven by Leo McKern, later famed for "Rumpole of the Bailey" The whole movie is available here: [15]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8v5vgk1cME [16] Healthy Healeying, Rick Neville [17] Virus-free. www.avast.com [18] On Tue, Oct 6, 2020 at 1:03 AM editorgary--- via Healeys wrote: We were watching Turner Classic Movies this evening -- a little know film-noir called "Time without Pity." In the initial close-up of the two actors driving through London, with the backdrop moving behind them and them sitting in the car with just a little bit of the car showing, the car looked familiar When they moved to a camera angle where you could see the A-pillar, it had the distinctive folding windshield of an Austin-Healey BN1/2, but given the year of the film, probably a BN2. A street scene showing them pull up to the curb showed the registration number on the plate: OOX 926. Does that car or film or registration number ring any bells with anyone? I haven't looked it up in IMDB, but it was a pretty obscure film.

When younger I read through all his books, each of which I truly enjoyed. While born in the UK, Shute moved to Melbourne, Australia and lived there until he died in 1960. He was also keen on motor racing and was quite competent in his Jaguar XK140 racing it at Phillip Island.

His solution was to take the brake pedal shaft, which was bent so as to place the two pedals close, and with a vice and a BFH he bent it the other way ... 'Job done!' as Ant would say.

This will cause the points to corrode. Although I do not use my car very much these days I have not encountered any problems in the past 12 years / ?40.000mls after I rebuild an original AUF301 SU fuel pump. However the car is kept in a very dry and heated garage. Quick wear of new points may also be caused by not cleaning/polishing them before installing. However there could also be a quality issue with new points. That is why I prefer using old points that may be a bit worn but are still serviceable enough to polish. Dave Dubois designed an optical switch to replace the points. The system is still being fitted by Pel de Haas in the Netherlands who cooperated with Dave.

AFAIK, transils are a pair of zener/avalanche diodes in both polarity, so they 'breakdown' and allow current flow at the nominal rating (IIRC, they were 20V or thereabouts). I think one possible problem with points is when they aren't installed so as to promote the 'wiping' action to clean them.

It later became a quest to save the 6 cyl engine from going to the scrap yard with these cars. We probably saved 9 -10 sedan (saloon) engines over the years, most of whose parts have by now been utilized by Healey owners needing to rebuild their engines. The engine that you have found would have the exact same block casting as your BT7 tri, and would be suitable for your tentative project. The block, crankshaft, oil pan, valve gear is the same, cyl head, manifolding, carbs, cam, rear plate are all different. If you are looking to create a complete spare engine for your tri-carb, you would need to locate those Healey specific parts from other sources. There were 2 different block casting numbers for the 3000 engine - the difference being the distributor / dipstick mounting on the block that was done for the BJ8 (and it's sedan counterparts) with the 25D distributor and the electric tach drive - which was mounted differently. Otherwise, the blocks are interchangeable other than the somewhat inconvenient distributor mounting if you put the earlier block in a BJ8. (I know of a couple because it was the only way when needed). The crankshaft is the same from the automatic - can be used in the Healey with the addition of the pilot bushing. As far as I can determine, the crankshafts are starting to get a bit thin on the ground now - our salvaged spares here have all been used. So it's starting to look like a good idea to round up what we can at this point. It's difficult to determine the condition of a non-running engine. The big considerations: is the block cracked or otherwise not useable, and is the crankshaft going to need an expensive repair (beyond the normal refurbishing). It becomes a matter of not paying too much, or just taking the leap, and hoping for the best. Hope this helps with your decision.

I just got an order from Ahead 4 Healeys which included the two brackets for the choke cable and the fresh air cable. Location and cable routing would be very helpful. I did not take this car apart and have to rely on pictures I can find on the net. Unfortunately, there are damn few pictures under the dash. Lots if firewall pictures, but the under dash area is very elusive.Mike MacLean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The early 240Z cars are in the memories of those with a high disposable income and they realise that such models are in short supply and therefore bring good money. We have a member in our AH club who apart from his BN2 and BJ8 also has a couple of very early 240Zs. There are telltales with the 240Z as there are with early 100s and such cars in good condition are bringing good money. Like yourselves I was initially surprised, but when you think about it the logic is easy to see. He sent me the attached photo of a meeting of 240Z owners at the Mt Panorama Circuit, Bathurst that might be of interest.

I believe, but am not certain it is the W58 version. It has recently become difficult to engage any gear (1 to 5 and R) from neutral. The clutch is engaging/disengaging properly and the transmission is full of Redline MT90. The amount of effort to get into any of the gears does not change at speed or whether the car is hot or cold. I am suspecting/hoping there is a bushing at the base of the shift lever that has become worn and in fact a dose of WD40 into the top of the tower made shifting a bit easier. I don't want to show up at the Toyota parts counter only to be turned away for lack of a part number and am hoping someone might have it.

I am making the the rear quarter panels and noticed some Healey's from the same time frame as mine have two screws holding the rear quarter panel in place. It looks like the screws go through the wheel well and then secure the bump stops. I have the the original wooden pieces which are in very poor shape but definitely no holes. The car in question was manufactured in November 1960 and is towards the end of the BT7 Mk1 production. Were these holes added by the factory or are they aftermarket? Thanks for your help....

That's funny! I've used nylon and urethane--which may be what 'prothane' is--over the years on my BJ8. In general, they do what you'd expect; i.e. stiffen things up (and//they///should/ last forever). There are two potential drawbacks: they may squeek, and making one part of a suspension more rigid puts a greater load on related parts. Urethane or nylon sway bar bushes will put a somewhat greater load on your end links. When I put the urethane bushes in, however, I also added a thicker sway bar, uprated end links and urethane bushes on the links. I don't remember the order of installation, but IIRC when I added the sway bar, before the uprated end links, I broke an end link (it snapped at the thread). FWIW, when I added the larger sway bar, plus uprated links and bushes, I felt the car stayed flatter in corners. I got the sway bar and end links from Addco, don't recall where I got the bushes. They do squeek a little; a fellow on this list has gone so far as to add zerks on his A-arm bushes to prevent squeeks (I think some will squeek eventually, regardless of manufacturer claims).

Rubber is the best choice Closer examination indicates that 2 need replacing and missing one. Now that the car is back on the road, every spring before I leave Florida for the north, after putting it on jack stands I will look at all the bushings, oiling the leaf springs and so in before putting the cover on the car. Jean do you have a list of things you look out for every year?

I would just replace the missing one and the cracked one with new rubber ones, simply because, while they may not last anywhere as long, it is still basically a maintenance item and even if I have to do that job every 5 to 6 years, it is part of my maintenance of the car.

In general, they do what you'd expect; i.e. stiffen things up (and they should last forever). There are two potential drawbacks: they may squeek, and making one part of a suspension more rigid puts a greater load on related parts. Urethane or nylon sway bar bushes will put a somewhat greater load on your end links. When I put the urethane bushes in, however, I also added a thicker sway bar, uprated end links and urethane bushes on the links. I don't remember the order of installation, but IIRC when I added the sway bar, before the uprated end links, I broke an end link (it snapped at the thread). FWIW, when I added the larger sway bar, plus uprated links and bushes, I felt the car stayed flatter in corners. >> Same experience here. I put on the next size up anti-roll bar(!), "rose" end links and poly bushes. No squeaks, no visible wear and a flatter ride. (Are they called "rose" links? Seem to remember the odd name..) I got the sway bar and end links from Addco, don't recall where I got the bushes. >>Don't recall where I got my bits. Probably Cape who was then my preferred supplier. But, since they've been in situ for +/- 20 years, I doubt that the manufacturer or supplier is relevant. If I had to do it again, I'd still go with poly. Ditto the front suspension bushes. Simon They do squeek a little; a fellow on this list has gone so far as to add zerks on his A-arm bushes to prevent squeeks (I think some will squeek eventually, regardless of manufacturer claims).

Several hardnesses usually indicated by the colour, galvanised steel or stainless steel for the bearing surfaces, various lubricants, large differences in prices etc. Do not go for the hardest variety, that is for racing purposes only,? and go for stainless steel as steel will corrode and wear away the PU rapidly. Regarding the squeaking you have to lubricate profusely when fitting and you may have to spray the bushes? with a silicon lubrication fluid once in a while. Be careful with oil leakage as PU will disintegrate when in contact with oil.
