[Healeys] Carbs Balance Pipe BN1/BN2 -

[Jean Caron]

Thanks guys, I was wrong in this case for sure, I have some of this stuff at home but not with lead, but have various products that will assist in getting it to seal properly, learn something new every day.

Jean,

John Harper is 100% correct, over the past 30+ years I've worked on many original BN1/2/100M manifolds (10+) and they ALL had this packing string type packing material material and NONE with a rubber seal.

Cheers,

Curt

I believe that you have this the wrong way around. The originals were made up of some sort of string impregnated with lead. As you say once used by plumbers. The original shape was a circular cylinder shape with ends shaped to fit into the beveled carburetor body on one side and a similar shape to the clamping ring. The leaded string was then forced tight when the plate was tightened.

'O' rings are supplied now but are not always a tight fit. Lead is not a favored material these days

Regards

There are very few things that I find when restoring Austin-Healeys that surprise me anymore but today, while dismantling a set of carbs for a BN2, I came across this at one end of the balance pipe. The correct part is a rubber gland seal but at some point it was replaced by some black plumber packing string, just shook my head.
