I have Chrome 60-spoke wheels on my BN2, bought from British Wire Wheel
around 2005.

Less than 20,000 miles on them.  Hendrix installed Verdestein tires about 8
years ago.

Today I found one broken short spoke on a rear wheel.  Sheared at the hub
end.  I will

order a replacement soon, but should I worry about driving it in the
meantime?

Worry, that depends, how are the rest of the spokes?
You might be under warranty?
I seem to break the right front spokes.

The most I have come in from a race session with broken is five.  60 spoke wheel still held together.

Over the past 20+ years I have broken more than 15 spokes (not at the same time). I had 4 broken at a tire shop by some gorilla working there. Harbor Freight sells a rig for less than $40 (watch for their sales) to remove the tire from the rim.  Usually, you don't have to remove the tire, just pop the seal and push inward to access the end of the spoke. Sometimes you need to remove the spokes on either side to replace broken one. Tighten by sound of all the spokes around the replaced one. I have heard of driving on 4 broke spokes.

Eight year old tires might be a bigger risk.

One broken spoke out of 60 is fine.  I think at one point I had 15 broken
spokes on one wheel which I put on the rear and didn't notice the
difference.  Of course I rebuilt the wheel, haven't had a problem since...
I had Hendrix relace them with SS spokes which are much more durable.

Michael -

I am assuming you put a plug in the original engine road pipe, correct?
 it?s not clear in your blog post.

Cheers,

Henry,

It is hard to see the type of fasteners around the perimeter in the
picture. Are they Lift-The-Dot or Tenax?

Harold-I saw that photo on the web...typed in "Longbridge Healey"-they
have a site. Yes, difficult to see but they look to be Tenax all
around except at the door- turnbutton as typical with early Healeys.
Most hot rod upholsterers use American type or boating fasteners and
replace the expensive Tenax items. There is a real difference between
the Longbridge vs the Abingdon cockpit. Check with Heritage Upholstery
(Geoff Chrysler) for the correct fastener fitment. He can identify the
cover. Hank

 Henry, 
 It is hard to see the type of fasteners around the perimeter in the
picture. Are they Lift-The-Dot or Tenax?

Message-ID: <CAFP1XCCcT0bOZQrWT2x-_+pGWpfcXENs4xwM4hjGJQdBc+tuOg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

What is the recommended finish for the aluminum cockpit surround? The
original anodizing wasn't in good shape and has been stripped and the
aluminum has lots of scratches and nicks from over the years. These are the
finishes I was considering:
Bare polished aluminum
Re-anodizing
Powder coating the same colour as anodizing

I was leaning towards powder coating as it may be the best at hiding nicks
and scratches.

Thanks... Harold

 Harold? Take them to your local metal polishing shop. They can probably make them look great, unless there are some really deep gouges. I would leave them unfinished and just give them an occasional polishing with something like "Met-all" polish. It is an aircraft product that has something in it that keeps the oxidation at bay for quite a while. I think McManus Carr or Aircraft Spruce will send you some. A small can will last for ever.

Powder coating works well BUT I  have found that it doesn't wear well with
marks and discolouration occurring particularly on the driver's door after
a while.
Have also heard that suntan lotion discolours the finish very quickly.

I definitely recommend clear anodizing as original it is not very expensive. However, the expensive part is polishing the parts unless you do that yourself. Anodizing companies usually do not polish the parts. When the aluminum is polished it will have a mirror finish but after it is anodized the finish will be a dull gray as original.

The concours correct method is anodizing (a matte finish-not
polished). However the plater cannot guarantee that all the blems will
go away. I spent hours polishing mine on a wheel with varying grits
and got "most' of the scratches out. You can only go so far and then
the metal gets thin and the scratches are still there. I had some real
deep ones around the door ends. Achieved 90% success-not good enough
to concours.
This guy has lots of them at auction if you wanted to practice first.
Pick the best ones. Hank

Harold,
First of all you indicate that the original anodizing has been stripped, how was this done? Was it done chemically? If it was simply sanded there would still be remnant of the anodizing in the aluminium.
As someone else said re anodizing would very likely be the best solution, but it is expensive, or was. The place in Ontario that used to do it, has closed down and they did a fantastic job but about 8 years ago cost around $900. Cdn for the cockpit surround on my BN6.
If you had work done  on your cockpit surround pieces, like welding to fill damaged area, unless you used a rod #5356 with TIG welding, the anodizing will show up in dark grey where the welding was done and it will look awful.
I think from the suggestions you received here, the powder coating and the metal polishing paste suggested by Ray Juncal may be your best bet.

Subject: [Healeys] Finish for Aluminum Cockpit Surround

Hello,

What is the recommended finish for the aluminum cockpit surround? The original anodizing wasn't in good shape and has been stripped and the aluminum has lots of scratches and nicks from over the years. These are the finishes I was considering:
Bare polished aluminum
Re-anodizing
Powder coating the same colour as anodizing

I was leaning towards powder coating as it may be the best at hiding nicks and scratches.

Thanks... Harold

Harold,

 

I never had any success with trying to strip the anodizing chemically. The
best way is to have an anodizing company remove it by reverse anodizing.
Du-All Anodizing GMP Plating Inc. stripped and anodized my BT7 cockpit
molding for $115 USD. Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara California polished
the pieces for $275. Those are 2013 prices so no doubt the cost will have
increased.

 

My moldings were in pretty good shape.

 

John

First let me thank everyone for the tips and suggestions about the
different finishes for the cockpit mouldings. This is what I have done so
far.

During the summer, when I could safely work outside, I stripped the
original anodizing in a bath of sodium hydroxide (also called Lye). This
method did remove all of the original anodizing and left a dull, clean
surface.
Using a file and emery cloth I tried to remove as many of the nicks and
scratches as I could. The final treatment for nicks and scratches was with
a 3M sanding sponge and liberal amounts of WD40. This step was very
effective.

Despite all of the above there were remaining pits, nicks and scratches.
Polishing wasn't high on my list until I read Ray's post. I tried polishing
a small area with some Autosol Metal Polish I had lying around which is a
similar product to Met-All and the results were pretty good so I did both
surrounds. Picture attached. My total cost to date is about $20 and will
stick with the polish and see how long the finish lasts.

Lynn Martin of Forever Healeys in Post Falls, Idaho has used "King of Trim"
in Pacoima, CA for years. They do excellent work. I'll be heading up there
soon with two sets to have anodized. The old price was $800 USD for
polishing and anodizing, but I think it has to be more now.

Cheers,

Curt

There are clear coat sprays you can apply to protect the shine.
I have a couple sets of trim pieces and one is shinny the other dull. I
need to find the best bits and rationalize the finish on them. Most likely
I will polish

Where in the world is anodizing cheap for you?  Here in California I was
quoted $700+ for the 4 pieces of cockpit surround.  Used to be cheap here,
but California regulates everything out of existence. I had mine polished
and powder coated.  I'll just re-powder coat as necessary because that is
still cheap here.  I don't know for how much longer though.  Sacramento
usually gets around to every business and either regulates it to death or
runs it out of the state.  If it didn't have the high profit tech companies
in Silicon Valley there would be no economy here.

 Ira? If you use a spray clear it can chip and then you have to strip it and start over. If you use the polish with a sealer (Met-all) as the sealer wears out just a quick re-polish and you are good for another long while. I ride an aluminum mountain bike and keep it bright. I can even spot sand scratches with 800 wet or dry and polish back to bright.Ray

During the summer, when I could safely work outside, I stripped the original anodizing?in a bath of sodium hydroxide (also called Lye). This method did remove all of the original anodizing and left a dull, clean surface.Using a file and emery cloth I tried to remove as many of the nicks and scratches as I could. The final treatment for nicks and scratches was with a 3M sanding sponge and liberal amounts of WD40. This step was very effective.
Despite all of the above there were remaining pits, nicks and scratches. Polishing wasn't high on my list until I read Ray's post. I tried polishing a small area with some Autosol Metal Polish I had lying around which is a similar?product to Met-All and the results were pretty good so I did both surrounds. Picture attached. My total cost to date is about $20 and will stick with the polish and see how long the finish lasts.

Harold,

I never had any success with trying to strip the anodizing chemically. The best way is to have an anodizing company remove it by reverse anodizing. Du-All Anodizing GMP Plating Inc. stripped and anodized my BT7 cockpit molding for $115 USD. Wheel Techniques in Santa Clara California polished the pieces for $275. Those are 2013 prices so no doubt the cost will have increased.

?

My moldings were in pretty good shape.

Harold,

First of all you indicate that the original anodizing has been stripped, how was this done? Was it done chemically? If it was simply sanded there would still be remnant of the anodizing in the aluminium. 

As someone else said re anodizing would very likely be the best solution, but it is expensive, or was. The place in Ontario that used to do it, has closed down and they did a fantastic job but about 8 years ago cost around $900. Cdn for the cockpit surround on my BN6. 

If you had work done? on your cockpit surround pieces, like welding to fill damaged area, unless you used a rod #5356 with TIG welding, the anodizing will show up in dark grey where the welding was done and it will look awful. 

I think from the suggestions you received here, the powder coating and the metal polishing paste suggested by Ray Juncal may be your best bet.

Hello,

?

What is the recommended?finish for the aluminum cockpit surround? The original anodizing?wasn't in good shape and has been stripped and the aluminum has lots of scratches and nicks from over the years. These are the finishes I was considering:

Bare polished aluminum

Re-anodizing

Powder coating the same colour as anodizing

?

I was leaning towards powder coating as it may be the best at hiding nicks and scratches.

?

Thanks... Harold

Moss has two center consoles for MGBs. One is padded #453-800 for $160 and the other is taller (to use as an armrest) but not padded #453-965 for $100. They look like they may fit in my BT7. Has anyone out there tried one of these in their Healey?

I used to have an MGB and the latches on the center console were always
breaking.  If you get one, make sure you buy several replacement catches.

Allan,

 

The gentleman you saw at Mt Maunganui with his VW camper would have been local Tauranga classic car restorer, Dave Doling.

The car you saw was not a genuine 100S.

It was a very nicely prepared reproduction belonging to AHCCNZ Auckland member, Michael Sexton.

I have many photos of the car during its build, which was begun originally on a Hundred chassis by Steve Pike in Australia, and finished by Dave.

When completed, Michael had the car fettled here in Auckland.  

He still owns it, and has raced it here and hillclimbed it in Italy.  He owns a collection of gorgeous classics which he campaigns here and overseas.

Some time ago, probably  2013, iwas lucky to be in Mount  Monanui, North Island,  New  Zealand. It was a hot sunny day and was strolling along the front towards the Mount,  wearing a 100S  T shirt and this chap in a Vw Camper  Said " I have one of those"

    Well i was Sceptical , but he gave me his card and invited  me over.

The next day was Raining so my son and I  went over to Tauranga to his workshop, convinced it would be a replica !!

Well  it turned out to be Real, a fully restored  100 S, in  white.    What a Day  !! I could not beleive it !

 

There was a rumour that the  Madagascar, "S"   ahs 3806  is now in  Minnesota, were there any updates on this ??

Presumably over time a few missing cars will emerge  ??

Ahh!  Wish I knew this earlier.

Both my kids over the years have played rugby in the summer in Tauranga ...
most recently my 15 year old boy was lucky enough to play on the Mt.
Maunganui College team that won the Bill Hill Cup this last summer!!!  He
loved every minute, thought the team spirit was the best.

Cheers,

Alan

It's good that there are enough knowledgeable people in our community who
know the history and whereabouts of the real/original 50 S's, and no one
needs to be defrauded or fooled unless they choose to.

re: '... now made in China'

Disappointing. Now I'll have to check the 9-51516s I have sitting on the 
shelf, bought years ago. Also got enough Valvoline VR-1 Racing oil for 9 
changes (plus extra I donate to my driveways).

re: '... The XP states it is "Designed For Full Synthetic Oils...?'

Means basically nothing, just jumping on the 'synthetic anything is 
better' bandwagon (see: Castrol 'Synthetic' brake fluid). I think the XP 
has a higher burst pressure, and it might flow a bit better than 'std,' 
but not much value for a street car.

re: "... Just question if there is a problem using with heavy 20-50 dino 
oil?"

Nope. Been using it (various brands) for 150K miles or so in two Healeys.

re: "... Any problems with using for a couple of oil changes instead of 
replacing with every oil change"

This is what's known as a 'false economy.' Not that it matters a /whole/ 
lot, but you'll leave a pint or so of old, dirty oil in the filter to 
mix with your nice, clean new dino oil. You're up on jackstands, or 
ramps or, if you're really fortunate, a lift; why not take 5min to put 
on a fresh filter? For just a few bucks more you can do the job properly.

Don,
It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made.
Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.

Have used other filters of same size requirement such as Mobil 1, K&N etc. All with no discernable problem.

I checked my Wix filters; they're 'Made in USA.' Hopefully, I have a 
lifetime supply.

As a corollary to this topic, a question?..

If one has two filters identical in all respects except size, would the bigger of the two be better? ie, does size matter?

I only ask because I have latterly been using large filters, Mann W1130/1. Made in Germany.:-

MANN-FILTER Online Catalog Europe - Product Details Oil Filter W 1130/1 <https://catalog.mann-filter.com/EU/eng/catalog/MANN-FILTER%20Katalog%20Europa/Oil%20Filter/W%201130~1> 

Impossible with the original Lucas starter.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Simon

Don,

It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made. 

Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.

yes generally if the filter is pointed down, the bigger the better...
usually the wider it is is more preferable to the longer it is.

But for filter conversions on our healeys, they normally sit sideways so
you gotta get it with the oil bypass valve

I use K&N 2009's which fasten to the engine laterally and wish I could find
a spin-on adaptor that has the filter facing (open-end) up simply because
it is much easier to avoid a mess.

Anyone seen the Ferrari engines with a large, usually Fram(!) oil filter 
mounted upside-down on top of each cylinder bank? I've always wondered 
1) why Ferrari did this and 2) how do you keep from dumping 2qts. of 
dirty oil on the engine when you change them out?

Although the rubber--I think most are silicone now--anti-drainback 
valves are a good idea, I think they allow most of the oil to drain back 
eventually except, of course, when the filters are mounted business-end 
up. They also only seal-up the inlet holes, so if the filter gets tipped 
oil will drain out quickly from the outlet hole.

I got one of Moss?s first ?spin on? adapters in the late ?80s because of the mess caused by the original canister, and the need to special-order the replacement cartridges.  This adapter holds the spin-on filter parallel to the centerline of the car, with the aft end of the filter lower than the front.  Changing oil is easy and causes no mess.  I don?t know if this type of adapter is still available, but the one I have is the only one I?ve ever seen.  All the others hold the filter perpendicular and level to the block and seem to be sized for a smaller filter than what I use.
I have several Wix 51085 filters, and all except one (China) are marked ?Made in USA?.  I remember back in the ?60s that I used to pass the Wix plant in Gastonia, NC about once a week.

Don,

It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made. 

Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.

Gents,The solenoid and switch preceding it are twenty years old on my BJ8. In the past few months it operated unpredictably. I've pulled the tranny cover and demonstrated that the solenoid was failing to engage though power was coming to the switch. Before I could test to see if current was coming out of the switch to the solenoid, the later suddenly engaged. I was unable to reproduce failure of the solenoid to engage. The intermittent failure must be either due to the switch or the solenoid itself. Which is most likely to be the culprit? TIA.? rich antal

I'm pretty sure that was the same one I had on my BJ7.  Worked great.

OK Healey guys I'm trying to the small details and I could use some help. Why is it the little things that always disappear or weren't on the car when I put it in a box all those years ago. I'm looking for the 1/2" dia. 3-BA thumb nuts that? hold the speedo and tach in the dash of early BN-1s and maybe 2s with the criss-cross knurling. The later cars had 8-32 BSF threads and linear knurling. (see photo) I also need two of the brass clamps that hold the temp gauge coiled wire to the edge of the bonnet opening. (see photo) Anyone willing to root through their odd parts jumble and see what's in there?Thanks 
Ray

Hi Steve -

I had one of those as well but I discovered it was improperly designed and
the oil completely bypassed the filter in operation.  Not sure if it?s
because it was designed for a puralator and I had a teclemite or vice
versatile, who knows.

Best,

Alan

I would look to the wiring and switch. Probably a loose connection
somewhere before the solenoid. The high amp wiring inside the solenoid is
pretty bulletproof unless it doesn't get switched off when it should. And I
haven't figured out where an intermittent operation could be generated.

I too changed to a spin on filter, but mine came from AH spares, and I think I have a different WIX number.
When I had the original system, I found it much easier to take the whole assembly off the side of the block, change the filter on the bench, and then reinstall with a new gasket. I remember Rich Chrysler saying he did it that way too. A lot less mess.

If by 'switch' you mean the 1-2-R lockout switch on the gearbox 'remote' 
shifter it could need adjusting or replacing. To test, switch O/D on at 
the dash and move the shift to 3rd or 4th and hold hard to the right. 
Check operation of the solenoid (or with a voltmeter). It's a simple, 
spring-loaded SPST (single-pole single-throw) contacter, but its depth 
needs to be set with washers. If holding the lever hard right corrects 
the problem then you can try thinner spacers, but it's not a bad idea to 
replace it on principle; esp. if it's original or very old. If the 
solenoid works when it gets power it's not the problem (though they do 
fail).

I've had a couple of the dash switches fail intermittently--esp. 
aftermarket ones--but you won't get power at the lockout switch if it's 
not making contact. Another possibility is the relay on the firewall; 
I've had them go intermittent. It's just a set of points on a cam; I had 
one go intermittent and I opened it up in a hotel room and filed the 
points and it worked for a couple thousand miles (think I still have it 
as a spare).

How did you determine the filter was bypassing the oil?

I too changed to a spin on filter, but mine came from AH spares, and I think I have a different WIX number.
When I had the original system, I found it much easier to take the whole assembly off the side of the block, change the filter on the bench, and then reinstall with a new gasket. I remember Rich Chrysler saying he did it that way too. A lot less mess.

Don,

It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made.

Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.

Yes, much easier removing the bolts from the block and have the head
on the bench to extract and replace the gasket properly. On the early
100, due to the tilt of the bracket, you cannot drop the middle fixing
bolt from the canister and then get the unit out of the car-either
topside or from bottom...you must remove the whole unit from the block
and bench it-also easier to fill up with oil to prime the filter prior
to starting. The later 100 production modified the filter body to take
it away from the motor mount, but its still easier to take it from the
block and replace the paper gasket as well. Way less mess and positive
sealing a plus. Hank

	Don,   

	It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the
manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing
process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and
made by robots except the step of lining up the bottom part of the
filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a
Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made.    

	Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change
the filter every oil change.

Hi Bob -

I assembled it all and the oil turned dark very fast, so I pulled it all
apart and I don't recall all the particulars but something about how it was
all set up it had a direct stream of flow past the filter....  I switched
to the side mounted filter which was a big improvement, oil stayed clean
for at least 1,000 miles before start turning color.

Cheers,

Alan

That is indeed the best way to do it, have done so for years and stay with the original filter that way.

I too changed to a spin on filter, but mine came from AH spares, and I think I have a different WIX number.
When I had the original system, I found it much easier to take the whole assembly off the side of the block, change the filter on the bench, and then reinstall with a new gasket. I remember Rich Chrysler saying he did it that way too. A lot less mess.

Alan, I remember now that you mention it that Moss had a recall of their adapter for some problem like that, but it was solved before I got mine.  The adapter I have has filtered my oil for almost 40 years and 131,000 miles now, so if the filter is being bypassed it has caused no problems with the engine.  I think I?ll keep it.

 

Cheers!

Steve

Hi Steve -

 

I had one of those as well but I discovered it was improperly designed and the oil completely bypassed the filter in operation.  Not sure if it?s because it was designed for a puralator and I had a teclemite or vice versatile, who knows.

 

Best,

 

Alan

I got one of Moss?s first ?spin on? adapters in the late ?80s because of the mess caused by the original canister, and the need to special-order the replacement cartridges.  This adapter holds the spin-on filter parallel to the centerline of the car, with the aft end of the filter lower than the front.  Changing oil is easy and causes no mess.  I don?t know if this type of adapter is still available, but the one I have is the only one I?ve ever seen.  All the others hold the filter perpendicular and level to the block and seem to be sized for a smaller filter than what I use.
I have several Wix 51085 filters, and all except one (China) are marked ?Made in USA?.  I remember back in the ?60s that I used to pass the Wix plant in Gastonia, NC about once a week.

I use K&N 2009's which fasten to the engine laterally and wish I could find a spin-on adaptor that has the filter facing (open-end) up simply because it is much easier to avoid a mess.

yes generally if the filter is pointed down, the bigger the better... usually the wider it is is more preferable to the longer it is.


But for filter conversions on our healeys, they normally sit sideways so you gotta get it with the oil bypass valve

As a corollary to this topic, a question?..

If one has two filters identical in all respects except size, would the bigger of the two be better? ie, does size matter?

I only ask because I have latterly been using large filters, Mann W1130/1. Made in Germany.:-

Impossible with the original Lucas starter.

Any ideas?

Don,

It makes absolutely no difference where the filter is made unless the manufacturer specifies different material in its manufacturing process. Absolutely every step of the fabrication is automated and made by robots except the step of lining up  the bottom part of the filter and I doubt an American can drop it in place any better than a Chinese. See a video on YouTube how Fram filters are made. 

Given the relatively low price of an oil filter, I would still change the filter every oil change.

I don't know if this might help, but I just had my 'box rebuilt after 
which O/D wouldn't work properly, although it did for a quick drive 
afterwards. It turned out that dirt had got into the suction pipe and 
had blocked it. Clearing the pipe sorted it. Sounds like you may be 
headed in the same direction, perhaps?

Richard,  I had an intermittent OD engagement issue this summer on my BT7.  I found that the bakelite on the end of the lockout switch had broken and so it was not consistently engaging (i.e. completing the circuit in 3rd and 4th.   I have no idea if it is the same switch as the BJ8, but it is an easy check to pull it out.  Make sure you save any washers/shims as the depth of the plungers is set up by shimming the switch.

 

Cheers, Mirek

Gents,

The solenoid and switch preceding it are twenty years old on my BJ8. In the past few months it operated unpredictably. I've pulled the tranny cover and demonstrated that the solenoid was failing to engage though power was coming to the switch. Before I could test to see if current was coming out of the switch to the solenoid, the later suddenly engaged. I was unable to reproduce failure of the solenoid to engage. The intermittent failure must be either due to the switch or the solenoid itself. Which is most likely to be the culprit? TIA.

I did not want to bring this up as I do not like to bash our suppliers but
I wrote to Moss about their spin-on adapter when in about 2010 the one I
installed on my Elva Courier's MGA engine failed, allowing the entire
filter to come apart and the oil blow all over. Luckily it happened when I
was working on the engine and I was able to shut down immediately.  Moss
said thank you and sent me a replacement which never failed--perhaps it was
a bad casting or whatever.

Cool! Nice work, now all you have to do is fix it to the CarCamel, drive around north America and hit every Healey event and make a fortune!! I'm sure you will be welcomed everywhere and the time and effort will be well rewarded!?Seriously though, good on you for making old machinery useful again.Steven KingsburyBN1On Nov 10, 2022, at 11:51 AM, Michael Salter via Healeys <healeys at autox.team.net> wrote:New post on my blog.?https://precisionsportscar.com/tire-shaving-chapter-two/?_______________________________________________Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.htmlSuggested annual donation  $12.75Archive: http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys http://autox.team.net/archive/healeysHealeys at autox.team.nethttp://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeysUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions at icloud.com

Hello,

What is the advice/recommendations for shims between the windshield pillars
and the A-post on a BT7? All of the bolts are finger tight and I have a gap
of about 0.085" each side. I am hesitant to tighten the bolts and stress
the windshield and risk cracking. I was planning to put shims in the gaps
and then tighten.

I have to say watching the table saw short created quite a pucker reaction
in me. Glad you found a more sane way to get this done:)

The factory used shims.  And, so did I.

G'day

When a mechanical tach or speedo needle bounces, it's generally due to the drive cable has become too flexible due to age.

A new cable should fix it. You don't necessarily need a new outer, just the internal cable.

Bob--

See if moving the drive cable around helps--I found that in certain
positions the jacket was interfering with the inner drive, resulting in its
winding up and acting as you dscribe.

Tried that. Will try rerouting the sleeve.

I'm pretty familiar with the speedos, having a drawerful and actually 
getting a couple to work halfway decent. A cracked odo or tripmeter 
drive gear will give a fixed-interval bounce based on speed, and the 
cable loading-up and unloading is also fairly rhythmic, but my tach just 
goes crazy. It seems like the needle needs to be damped somehow.

I have encountered a couple of cases where a small amount of grease from
the cable has made its way into the speedometer or tachometer and into the
speedcup. Once there the grease can contact the magnet which makes the
needle move erratically.
Also had a couple of cases where the bush in the instrument within which
the magnet shaft rotates being so badly worn that the magnet  contacted the
speedcup occasionally producing the same effect.
To test try installing another tachometer to see if the problem goes away.

Bob,

Have you tried driving the tach with a variable speed drill, from the 
distributor end of the cable?

In order to replace the lip seal in a speedo pinion( at the back of the
overdrive) it is necessary to extract a tiny steel pin from the brass
housing.

Has anyone figured out a way to do this so that the housing can be
separated?

Michael,

I had two pinions and found out the hard way there was a pin when I took
the first one apart. Fortunately I was able to repair the threads with a
thread file. On the second one I very carefully drilled out the pin enough
to unscrew the nose piece. Drill bit was about No. 65. Wasn't perfect but
much better than the first method.

Message-ID: <C48CBE39-A257-42B0-8E21-E31C6A2E0D9A@shaw.ca>

Does anyone know the length of the dipstick tube for a BN6 or early 3000. And how deep its set in to get the correct oil reading on the dipstick. Mine did not come back from the engine shop and I don?t see any for sale. I will either make one or adapt one from another car. 
Thank you,
Ross Maylor

I presume that you are trying to circumvent the issues of brake fluid
taking the paint off.
I  have been told that 2 part epoxy paint isn't damaged by brake fluid.
Anyone know if that is in fact the case?

According to Mr. Google a 2 component or catalyst/ceramic paint for painting calipers will resist heat, brake fluids etc.  ERA and Dupli-color paints in special spray cans to mix the components are available on Amazon for almost $60 each.  I have two old reservoirs in a drawer that need painting.  The third one is on the car and slowly peeling away.  Maybe I will paint the calipers at the same time.

I installed two cast aluminum reservoirs that I bought offline--they do not
leak, tarnish or corrode.

Need some enlightenment.? Awhile back, the car (BJ8) was running fine, 
but I noticed the little red light that says the battery isn't being 
charged was on.? (I do keep the battery on a Battery Minder" when not in 
use.)? Chased the system down, and discovered the generator was putting 
out zero volts.? Adjusted the fan belt, no change.? On closer 
inspection, the rotor was damaged (a bar was actually missing).? Had the 
unit rebuilt, and it is working fine, but still had the little red light 
wouldn't go out.? Checked all the connections, continuity, voltage 
regulator, couldn't find any thing out of the ordinary.? Finally, upon 
closer inspection of the regulator with a mirror, found the contacts on 
one of the coils were welded together, and the leaf spring holding that 
contact was completely severed.? According to the manual, this is the 
"cutoff coil".? New regulator solved the problem.

Now the questions.

1. What could cause the rotor to be damaged?

2. What could cause the points to weld together?

3. Which likely failed first?? Did one cause the other?

4. I'm guessing the points stuck together first, and caused the leaf 
spring to break, so first the points were always "closed", and then 
always "open".

5. Would any of this cause damage to anything else, e.g., the battery?

Again, everything seems normal, now.? Battery holds charge well.

I use plastic reservoirs on my racecar. I can check but I think they came
from Summit Racing.

Sometimes a new dynamo needs remagnetizing. It relies on residual
magnetism to start giving out electrical power, All it needs is to
disconnect the field connection ( F  Smaller connection) and with a jumper,
lead connect 12 v from the battery to the F terminal. Just about 5 seconds
is sufficient. Reconnect the original connection and see if the red light
has gone out

Hello Mike,
DOT3/4 damages all sorts of paint used on a car, even two part epoxy paint.
I use it as paint remover on small parts and it works fine for any sort of 
paint.

I presume that you are trying to circumvent the issues of brake fluid 
taking the paint off. 
I  have been told that 2 part epoxy paint isn't damaged by brake fluid. 
Anyone know if that is in fact the case?

Hello Mike,
I presume the points sticked together, causing the generater to produce a 
high output voltage at the generastor D-Terminal, which resulted in an 
extremely high current which welded the points together. The generator got 
extremely hot (had to gave much more power than it was designed for) and 
the bar broke out.
Simple, but that?s to my opinion what happened.

Need some enlightenment.  Awhile back, the car (BJ8) was running fine, but 
I noticed the little red light that says the battery isn't being charged 
was on.  (I do keep the battery on a Battery Minder" when not in use.)  
Chased the system down, and discovered the generator was putting out zero 
volts.  Adjusted the fan belt, no change.  On closer inspection, the rotor 
was damaged (a bar was actually missing).  Had the unit rebuilt, and it is 
working fine, but still had the little red light wouldn't go out.  Checked 
all the connections, continuity, voltage regulator, couldn't find any thing 
out of the ordinary.  Finally, upon closer inspection of the regulator with 
a mirror, found the contacts on one of the coils were welded together, and 
the leaf spring holding that contact was completely severed.  According to 
the manual, this is the "cutoff coil".  New regulator solved the problem.
Now the questions.
1. What could cause the rotor to be damaged?
2. What could cause the points to weld together?
3. Which likely failed first?  Did one cause the other?
4. I'm guessing the points stuck together first, and caused the leaf spring 
to break, so first the points were always "closed", and then always "open".
5. Would any of this cause damage to anything else, e.g., the battery?
Again, everything seems normal, now.  Battery holds charge well.

Hello,

In the service parts list for my BT7 there is a "Hammer - copper 11B5166"
which is part of the tool kit. From other online sources I have concluded
the hammer is a Thor brand. What is the model/part no.? Is it copper on
both sides or copper and rawhide and what is the weight?

Thanks... harold

Early cars used a rawhide head #3H3128 (C138031), then lead #1B8996
(C157257), but ended up with the Thor copper #11B5166 (C229653) which
is still available today from the manufacturer. The early ones are
stamped "2" and the later "3" I believe that is correct. Check with AH

Listers,

I am redoing my head gasket.  I know the manual has a small drawing of the
torque sequence but I don't have a way to enlarge it.

Does anyone have a large, printable drawing of the head torquing sequence
on a 6 cylinder (BJ8)?

Thanks,
Fred

The copper-headed hammer is still around, for sure. It?s a fairly brutal thing. 

I bought one of these years ago, +/-50!, to use with my first 3000. A far more kindly thing altogether:-

 <https://www.screwfix.com/p/thor-soft-faced-hammer-16oz-0-45kg-/8281K?kpid=8281K&ds_kid=92700048793290430&ds_rl=1244066&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsoycBhC6ARIsAPPbeLtS8uehORM1Y402dyox_1ibYKt_LblKPOq4VpNaaUcOBTnetoz7lxoaAlKtEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds> Thor Soft-Faced Hammer 16oz (0.45kg) | Hammers | Screwfix.com

I use the nylon side to get the spinners started then the rubber one, and the other way round for putting them back on. I?ve got a copper one but never use  it.

This is a reasonable, perhaps the /only/ explanation, but it's possible 
the rotor damage was coincidental; I think a 'thrown bar' would have 
made a lot of racket.

Fred,

I scanned the page from the manual as a JPEG. You should be able to enlarge
as required.

Cylinder head torque is in a circle starting from the center of the head.
Start at about 30lbs first times then go to about 55 or 60 lbs, then finish up at 75 ft lbs.

Use a coating of Permatex Copper Coat on all surfaces prior to installing the head.

Listers,

I am redoing my head gasket.  I know the manual has a small drawing of the torque sequence but I don't have a way to enlarge it.

Does anyone have a large, printable drawing of the head torquing sequence on a 6 cylinder (BJ8)?

Thanks,
Fred

I have copper hammers and deadblow plastic hammers. Both will damage a knockoff. Knockoffs tighten when the car is driven and can be extremely hard to remove. The best tool I have found is very expensive, but it was worth it to me because it makes it very easy to loosen and remove a knockoff. You can view it here: http://knockoffspinnertool.com/

Hello,

 

In the service parts list for my BT7 there is a "Hammer - copper 11B5166" which is part of the tool kit. From other online sources I have concluded the hammer is a Thor brand. What is the model/part no.? Is it copper on both sides or copper and rawhide and what is the weight?

 

Thanks... harold

The Thor is for show the thumper for keeping the wheels on.

I made some of these from 1/2" marine plywood.
I've found  that I  can get the K O considerably tighter with them than I
can with a copper hammer and they do not mark the KO at all.
Also fit easily acros the back of the boot.
Highly recommended.

Harold,

Copper hammers are a very bad idea to actually use on your chrome knock-offs because of "work-hardening" - i.e. if you get a piece of metal or length of wire and bend it backwards and forwards repeatedly it gets hard and eventually breaks - that is what happens to the face of a copper hammer and plays havoc with the chrome plating.? Great for concours but practically useless.? I use lead.

Best.

I appreciate all of the feedback. My car is not a concourse contender but I
am trying to stay true to the original unless the original part left
something to be desired. I like the suggested lead hammer and will go that
route.

David,

Do you recommend any lubricant on the threads?

For re-torquing:
On cold engine or hot?
Do you slack off the nuts any before re-torquing?

Thanks,

Pete Pollock

Pricing isn?t too bad might have a look, but happy with my BJ9 Tesla.

Hello Alan

 

Certainly for sale in Australia.

 

Extremely well priced and they sell well, however I understand that you get what you pay for.

I checked a local dealership in Chile and they did not have one on the floor. I don?t think there are MG dealerships in the US. Perhaps it is sold as a KIA their.

EV's have a purpose, it is for city driving, no more, no less until battery technology improve tremendously. Countries where there are winter conditions for at least three months, the claimed distance between recharge is cut by at least half.

Hello

 

I find it very hard to compare Morris Garages founded by Cecil Kimber and
under the ownership of William Morris with the MG of today under the control
of Nanjing Automobile-Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation.

Hello

 

I understand that there is.

 

My knowledge is that they are made to a price. It will be interesting when they reach the second-hand market.
