[Healeys] Offset or Bad Q.C.?

[Michael Oritt]

Someone expressed skepticism that the holes in the sockets were designed to
be offset in order to provide eccentric adjustment for the side screens.  I
verified with Curt Arndt who is on the Concours committee that this was the
purpose of the offset. If contemporary sockets are supplied with holes
on-center it is possible that someone simply didn't grasp the subtlety of
the design.  In any case all four of the sockets on my car are properly
off-center.
