Seeking access to an existing full set of Healey 100-4 body molds. A carbon fiber 100-4 is my dream. Before I take molds from an existing car help me if you can with information leading to an existing set.
Thank You,

Thank you David. I?d love to talk to them if possible. Maybe they?ve made the rest of the parts in the mean time!?

I have a guy with the car and have offered to do the bodywork necessary to make molds in return for the improvement in his car. 
Haven?t got a commitment yet on that.

Now, if there?s a ready car with an owner willing to allow molds to be made for some compensation, like discounted carbon parts, that would be even better!
I?d love to talk to anyone who can help move this project forward.

It almost looks like it was taken from an E-Type, at least the small chromed piece at the top.

Looks like an epoxy resin or something similar to me. Real leather or vinyl
would not be shiny like the image you sent.

My son got a similar one for his MGB then didn't use it. I got it and have installed it on my BJ8 and works and looks fine. He got his either from Moss or British Parts Northwest.

The cover in the picture looks very oversized and messy. Although the 
principle looks promising and it could be made very attractive looking. 
The leather part should be very easy to make if you can use a sturdy old 
fashioned Singer or similar hand sewing machine or an industrial sewing 
machine.

Bob:

 

I found this one in my box of Healey Interior bits. I think it came with the
truckload of parts that comprised the car when I bought it, but I have no
idea why I never installed it.

 

As you can see from the attached pictures, it is for an MG [consistent with
another lister's experience] - and it is a simple one-piece vinyl cutting.
The top is rolled and stitched, with a single side stitch forming a cone
shape. Once you had a paper or muslin pattern anyone with a basic sewing
machine could whip this up in minutes [if not seconds!]. The material is
light enough that I see no need for a heavy duty sewing machine.

 

----------------

All the best,

 

Al Fuller

The item is often referred to as a "witch's hat" or gaiter.

My BJ8 had one installed by the prior owner and I liked it much better 
than the look of the stock setup so have kept it.

Here is a place to begin your search for a ready-made gaiter:

https://www.amazon.com/Universal-Manual-Cover%EF%BC%8CPU-Leather-Shifter/dp/B07G5GTY17/ref=d_pd_day0_sccl_4_5/147-8332929-0835636?pd_rd_w=5bYmI&content-id=amzn1.sym.8ca997d7-1ea0-4c8f-9e14-a6d756b83e30&pf_rd_p=8ca997d7-1ea0-4c8f-9e14-a6d756b83e30&pf_rd_r=VH46TX1Z1PGRCWYZN58W&pd_rd_wg=sNfIn&pd_rd_r=7b2043da-acc4-4361-971f-ba02cb10df31&pd_rd_i=B07G5GTY17&psc=1

One issue: the lower edge of the gaiter needs to be glued-down or 
otherwise retained, under the console ring.

Hi,?? ? ??I?m assuming you?re talking about the gear shifter knob.I recently replaced my bj7 knob because the old one?was stripped?out and loose. I got a new one from Moss. The new knob was a smaller thread than the stick was so I just ran a bolt into the new knob which is hard?plastic inside.?It?s a good quality and has held up so far.Good luck.?Dave Walsh

 It almost looks like it was taken from an E-Type, at least the small chromed piece at the top.

Hi Guys:

?

The above picture shows a full leather cover on the gear shifter of a BJ8 which is not standard.? Do any of you know where I can get one similar, or how to make and install it.

Looks like an epoxy resin or something similar to me. Real leather or vinyl would not be shiny like the image you sent.

My son got a similar one for his MGB then didn't use it. I got it and have =
installed it on my BJ8 and works and looks fine. He got his either from Mos=

The cover in the picture looks very oversized and messy. Although the principle looks promising and it could be made very attractive looking. The leather part should be very easy to make if you can use a sturdy old fashioned Singer or similar hand sewing machine or an industrial sewing machine.

I believe it's designed to be screwed onto the stick.? Sort of 
self-threading.? That's what I did with mine.

Subject: [Healeys] Floor Mats for BT7
Message-ID: <032d01d96904$35a98cb0$a0fca610$@sympatico.ca>

Hi all,  I am thinking of buying some floor mats for my side-shifter BT7 to
save the wear and tear on the original Karvel carpet I have.   Several
suppliers sell a pair of mats  that are described as "embroidered" with the
Healey wings and they are listed as fitting all 3000s from '59 to '67.  I
thought the side-shift and centre shift gearbox tunnels were different and
had a different profile to the carpets, so I don't see how these mats will
fit all 3000s.  Anyone have any experience with them in side-shifter?  The
ones Moss sell seem a little different and they say they fit only '62 to '67
cars, which would be the centre shift cars.   More generally, anyone
recommend some inexpensive fitted mats to go over the carpet?  Many thanks.

Yes, the side shift / center shift gearboxes require different 
profiles.? The rubber Ammco mats have the two profiles molded in and you 
cut the excess rubber off to fit your car.

I recently bought these rubber mats from Moss - Floor mat Set, Black
Rubber  021-430 for my side shift BT7. There were guidelines to trim for
the different gear box profiles. They fit well and I am happy with the

Hi all. In addition to my beloved BJ7 I own an '06 Corvette that needs a new harmonic balancer. Does anyone on the list know of a good Corvette shop in western Suffolk or Eastern Nassau. I prefer not going to the dealer.

Thank you Mark!? Cannot believe 32 yrs. of "Family".? The information 
shared, friendships made, the humor, the gatherings for which you are, 
in a large part responsible, and yes, the losses. R.I.P.? Frank(13 yrs 
on the 11th), Paul, Jim, Ed and others I don't know about.? In their own 
way they are the pillars of the list.? It is staggering to think of all 
the people Mark has brought together through all the various lists he 
moderates.? Keep up the great work Mark...the rest of youse....send $$$$.

Coco Mats (cocomats.com) make great mats, though they are not cheap.  When I had my mats made for my BN7, they did not have a patter for BN7/BT7 side shifts, so I made some and sent them to them.  They should be able to do side shift 3000 now.

Hello Ray

 

It?s a right hand drive Austin-Healey 100 with what looks like multiple switched fuel pumps and oil temperature and ampere gauges.

Ray, I think that is a better solution than mine. Very likely switches 
for fuel pumps. You nailed it.

Message-ID: <CAL4ZEOOug3cnJg4r3q8tw6UXndfrACu5ZQqhH8Pxu2Z_s0Wa2g@mail.gmail.com>

Someone please explain to me why the filter required for my 1.8 ltr MGB
engine (51515) is so much larger than the filter called for the spin on
conversion for my BN2. (51516)  Just to add to the confusion, a
cross-reference chart for either filter calls out the other filter as an
alternative.  Does filter volume make any difference from either car?

I am not only an Austin Healey enthusiast, I'm also a watch enthusiast and
collector.

While I do not have a Federique Constant watch [they make fine Swiss
timepieces], I do have the promotional model and display.

The extra switches are most likely for driving fog and reverse lamps. See
the photos of my BN1

A hearty 'second' on CocoMats. Several choices for materials, they don't slip and have excellent customer service. Even if they have a pattern, you might want to provide a template; the better your template, the better the fit (including notches for the seat rails). IIRC, they don't charge for a custom fit.

I had cheap rubber mats for years; they would slide up and interfere with the pedals (an annoyance and minor safety issue). I finally wised-up.

I recently bought these rubber mats from Moss - Floor mat Set, Black Rubber  021-430 for my side shift BT7. There were guidelines to trim for the different gear box profiles. They fit well and I am happy with the result.

Yes, the side shift / center shift gearboxes require different profiles.  The rubber Ammco mats have the two profiles molded in and you cut the excess rubber off to fit your car.

Hi all,  I am thinking of buying some floor mats for my side-shifter BT7 to save the wear and tear on the original Karvel carpet I have.   Several suppliers sell a pair of mats  that are described as ?embroidered? with the Healey wings and they are listed as fitting all 3000s from ?59 to ?67.  I thought the side-shift and centre shift gearbox tunnels were different and had a different profile to the carpets, so I don?t see how these mats will fit all 3000s.  Anyone have any experience with them in side-shifter?  The ones Moss sell seem a little different and they say they fit only ?62 to ?67 cars, which would be the centre shift cars.   More generally, anyone recommend some inexpensive fitted mats to go over the carpet?  Many thanks.

I'm not an engineer, but I imagine one difference would be the filter change interval - a larger filter being able to be changed less often. My guess is that the MGB, being a "newer" car, has a longer interval between oil filter changes, say 6000 miles v. 3000 for the BN2. But that's without looking at maintenance schedules.

Ray and Curt,
Definitely nice watches and the dashboard on the 100S is quite interesting as well. Here is a photo of a dashboard, not on an Austin-Healey but a work of art nevertheless, pretty easy to tell on what kind of car this is in if you look closely.

Curious Q. ?I have wondered the same thing. ?However, if you look at filters for modern cars size dos not seem to matter. ?Many engines today call for a 3 in long filter not 4 to 5 inch.

Someone please explain to me why the filter required for my 1.8 ltr MGB engine (51515) is so much larger than the filter called for the spin on conversion for my BN2. (51516)? Just to add to the confusion, a cross-reference chart for either filter calls out the other filter as an alternative.?

 Al?? That's interesting. The add was in a high zoot Western / ranch style magazine "Cowboys and Indians". Nothing to do with cars at all.

The external size of an oil filter is of little importance. It is the 
surface of the filtration medium that counts, and of course the size of 
the particles that can pass.

Modern engines are made to much tighter tolerances and better materials, 
hence they wear very little, thus little debris and contamination. 
Service intervals can easily be as much as 10.000mls or way more. Engine 
life for normal everyday cars is usually beyond 200.000mls and over 
500.000mls is not a rarity. Often the mechanicals last longer than the 
electronics.

It is always difficult to decide when to change the oil filter. These 
days I usually change the oil every two years with an annual mileage 
these days of about 3000mls and change the oil filter every three oil 
changes. When changing oil I find it remarkable that the oil is still 
very clean rather than black. I now use K&N filters and 10W50? or20W50 
oil for motorbikes as these have more additives than automotive oil due 
to various regulations: Bardahl, MPM, Penrite, Castrol Power RS etc.

Jean,


Early Jaguar?? SS100? (SS on the gauge faces).


What are the gauges marked "Front" and "Rear" used for?

Definitely nice watches and the dashboard on the 100S is quite interesting as well. Here is a photo of a dashboard, not on an Austin-Healey but a work of art nevertheless, pretty easy to tell on what kind of car this is in if you look closely.

A hearty 'second' on CocoMats. Several choices for materials, they don't slip and have excellent customer service. Even if they have a pattern, you might want to provide a template; the better your template, the better the fit (including notches for the seat rails). IIRC, they don't charge for a custom fit.

I had cheap rubber mats for years; they would slide up and interfere with the pedals (an annoyance and minor safety issue). I finally wised-up.

I recently bought these rubber mats from Moss - Floor mat Set, Black Rubber  021-430 for my side shift BT7. There were guidelines to trim for the different gear box profiles. They fit well and I am happy with the result.

Yes, the side shift / center shift gearboxes require different profiles.  The rubber Ammco mats have the two profiles molded in and you cut the excess rubber off to fit your car.

Hi all,  I am thinking of buying some floor mats for my side-shifter BT7 to save the wear and tear on the original Karvel carpet I have.   Several suppliers sell a pair of mats  that are described as ?embroidered? with the Healey wings and they are listed as fitting all 3000s from ?59 to ?67.  I thought the side-shift and centre shift gearbox tunnels were different and had a different profile to the carpets, so I don?t see how these mats will fit all 3000s.  Anyone have any experience with them in side-shifter?  The ones Moss sell seem a little different and they say they fit only ?62 to ?67 cars, which would be the centre shift cars.   More generally, anyone recommend some inexpensive fitted mats to go over the carpet?  Many thanks.

It is indeed, what a beautiful dashboard, perhaps a little busy but quite a feat of engineering for the late 30's

Absent extraordinarily dirty conditions I doubt that the ability of any
filter, regardless of its length, to freely pass oil will be compromised
before mileage warrants a change.

If I have gone to the trouble of draining and changing oil it takes little
effort to also change the filter and since the most expensive filters cost
less than US$20.00 I think it borders on penny-pinching to not change the
filter given the costs of owning, storing, insuring and fueling of our
vehicles which are likely not our primary means of transport.

In any case if one is concerned about the internals of their oil filter (as
well as their engine) it would pay to buy an oil filter cutter and pull out
the medium for examination under sunlight.  This will tell more than simply
the appearance of the oil as detergent oil goes dark after only a short
amount of time whereas finding shiny bits of metal/bearing on the paper
surface--or not--will likely tell you something useful.

Looks lovely from that side!?but I helped a mechanic friend work on one of these several years ago  (I could contort myself into positions he couldn?t) and the wiring behind that dash full of instruments is a nearly inaccessible nightmare?..

Ray and Curt,
Definitely nice watches and the dashboard on the 100S is quite interesting as well. Here is a photo of a dashboard, not on an Austin-Healey but a work of art nevertheless, pretty easy to tell on what kind of car this is in if you look closely.

I considered the "SS" stood for one of the automobiles mentioned in this thread but I noticed that directly under the "SS" is "Smith and Sons (Ltd ?)".  I thought the SS might have been their business logo.

Another recommendation for CoCo mats.  I had to send them a template for
the modified floorpans of my Nasty Boy and they fit perfectly. I've
probably had them in my car for 10 years and they have held up well,
although the navy blue has faded over time.

Hi All...

At that point of restoration and need to get an interior on order. Anyone
have any experience/comments on either John Skinner in the UK or Heritage
in CA? Have quotes from both and it's not a pricing question but more about
quality and ease of install etc...

Thanks,

I?d consider Rightway Heritage Trimming run by Geoff Chrysler.  He is in BC.  Geoff is Rich Chrysler?s son and has an outstanding reputation.

Hello

 

Can someone please remind me of the ubusual thread size of the below support
of a generator bracket fitted to a six-cylinder engine?

 

It's the thread below without the nut.

 

Many thanks

I don?t think that HT RFI affects modern car radios, which are mostly FM, not AM.  Ditto with modern digital TV and other digital communications.

Back in the eighties when I attended race meetings on RNZAF (Royal New Zealand Air Force) bases we had to run resistive HT leads because solid-core affected avionics on the airfields.

I'm sure that only your neighbor gets pissed when you drive by their house with bumblebee wired Healeys and they also have an old tube type radio or TV.  Not sure that LED TVs or modern car radios are affected by engine noise, but all of it is RF so it might affect even your phone as well. Hank

I think plugs are unnecessarily changed too frequently.  I remove them once in a while (every few years) and clean and check the gaps.  I run them until they shows signs of deterioration.  I have never had a plug fail me in the Healey.

I've run over 150K miles on Champion plugs with nary an issue (and will continue to do so); RN12YC for the BJ8 and whatever the recommended is for a 100M (RN10C?). With Pertronix Ignitors in both, I run slightly over 'book' value (0.025") at 0.028" and both run very well (I also run stranded copper wire secondaries, so the 'R' is important, plus the plug caps have a resistor in them as well). My one-time auto shop teacher father maintained whatever spark was sufficient to ignite the mixture was adequate--mixture and compression took it from there--but a larger gap induces a 'hotter' spark which may be beneficial with leaner mixtures and at higher engine RPM (but has less margin as the electrode erodes). A larger gap requires the coil to produce more secondary voltage to jump the gap; a sports coil may be required to produce a consistent spark. 12K miles on plugs is fine in my experience--as long as the engine is in good nick--and they can be cleaned and re-gapped at least once. Sandblasting is a no-no as it will pit the ceramic insulator and can cause issues.

I came across a YouTube video by David Vizard where he claims E3 Diamond 'Split Fire' plugs produced slightly better mileage; yep, E3 makes a plug for Big Healeys (6-cyl only, I think). I've heard rumors that counterfeit NGK plugs are in the market.

So, I?m trying to get all my ducks in a row for a short run abroad. Car is a MkII BT7 with a DW fast road cam, 3 HD6s, big bore 6 branch and 123Ignition plus a so-called Sports Coil.

 

1.	I was looking through my library of files on Healey topics and saw that we were all over the place on plug gaps?..all the way up to 0.035?. So what?s the opinion there??
2.	And which plug? Seemed to be mostly between NGK?s BP6ES & BP5ES. Was a hold-out for their B8EGV 5627  but that was dismissed fairly vigorously by Jeremy Welch as being way OTT for normal road use.
3.	And, I have 12,000 miles+++ as plug replacement mileage so long as they still look and perform OK. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks, Simon

I would concur.  Geoff is very knowledgeable and does excellent work.  I've
sent him BN1 seats from California to BC, paying the awesome shipping costs
and unreasonable border delays, for him to finish because he was the best.

Hi Pat, that little beastie is actually called a "Pillar" and the part
number is AEC293.
The thread on the end with the hex (engine plate end) is 7/16" UNF and the
other (dynamo link end) is 3/8" UNF.

Just finished a car with a john Skinner interior and is was very good. Much better than the 3 other suppliers that I have used. Also, you can mix and match any colors and piping that you want. They have the stamping for the seats as per original also.

Hi All... 
At that point of restoration and need to get an interior on order. Anyone have any experience/comments on either John Skinner in the UK or Heritage in CA? Have quotes from both and it's not a pricing question but more about quality and ease of install etc... 

Thanks, 

Simon

I purchased a John Skinner carpet kit which fit reasonably well but needed
some adjustments. I took my front and rear seats and the rear back rest
(squab) to Geoff Chrysler. The seats were finished to a very high standard
and I am very happy with the result. Other Healey owners who have seen the
seats almost always ask "who did your seats, they look great".

A word of warning. The similar part fitted to the 100 engine is 1B1724. It
looks almost the same as the AEC293 as fitted to 6-cylinder engines except
that it has BSF threads and nuts. The larger is 7/16" BSF.

Adding to John?s comment, here is what the two pillars look like: 6-cyl ? top,  100 ? bottom.

I use a Nyloc nut and flat washer on the link side.

Message-ID: <009701d97126$d7599ad0$860cd070$@rr.com>

Hello, Healeyphiles -

 

I received the message below from a BJ8 owner.  I'm passing it on to see if
anyone has any thoughts or advice about the problem.

 

Thanks!

Steve Byers

My question for you on my transmission rebuilt is when I was downshifting
from third gear to second the gears were grinding I was always having to
double clutch to get it in the second gear. I have replaced just about every
part in the gearbox including the second gear which I thought was the
problem as the synchro was bottoming out or touching the face of gear it was
well worn. Went yesterday for my first test drive and all of the gears
worked perfectly and shifted very smoothly but when I try to downshift from
third to second it grinds terribly I had to come to a complete stop to be
able to shift it into second gear. It shifts from 1st to 2nd no problem
third and fourth gears work very well as does reverse. Do you have any
suggestions? I couldn't find anything on the tolerances between the gears
would you have access to some kind of chart or spec sheet?  My other thought
was the plunger in the sliding hub might not be engaging on the first motion
shaft. Any thoughts or ideas for me to try! 

I would certainly appreciate any help you might be able to provide!

The syncro cones in the BJ8 gearbox, the ones that use steel syncro rings,
have a special coating on them. This coating has a tendency to flake off if
the box is subjected to abuse (not double declutching) for a
prolonged period of time.(You touched on this with your mention of the
syncro ring contacting the gear face.)
Are you sure this coating was in good condition on the replacement gear as
what you describe sounds to exactly the symptoms of the coating having come
off?

The Pertronix ignition (and many other electronic ignition systems)? 
usually needs a resistance of 3 Ohm. A lower resistance may lead to 
failure of the Pertronix. A 1,5 Ohm coil should be used together with a 
1,5 Ohm ballast resistor. If you use a 3 Ohm coil you will not need the 
ballast resistor.

Thanks Kees.  The 1.5ohm is for V8's.  3 ohm for 6 and 4's.  That was my concern with using the 1.5 for the Healey 6.Tom

 to use the 3 ohm coil--unless you are in a racing mode.  just
 wondering if any of you use the 1.5, and if so any
 problems----i.e., what is the downside of using the 1.5?

Doesn't using a ballast resistor require two circuits; one for starting 
(no resistor, hotter spark) and one for running (resistor for cooler 
running coil, less erosion of points)? AFAIK, no Big Healeys used a 
ballast resistor with requisite two circuits.

Tom,

Be safe and use 3 Ohms for a single coil or 1,5 Ohms for a coil plus 1,5 
Ohms for the ballast resistor. On my car I have disabled the shorting of 
the ballast resistor during cranking and it starts without fail within 
one turn of the crank.

Cheers,

Kees Oudesluijs

I am not sure but isn't the AH using a resistor wire instead of a 
ballast resistor?

Steve -

As a general rule, I never bother downshifting in the BJ8 box except from
4th to 3rd, anything less you are better off using the brakes because brake
pads are way cheaper and easier to replace than synchro rings or a clutch.
Of course this means you have to brake intelligently (esp. going downhill)
and not burn em.

Another thing to consider other than a worn synchro is if the throwout
bearing is worn, you'll have a tendency to grind various gears.

Best,

Alan

My question for you on my transmission rebuilt is when I was downshifting from third gear to second the gears were grinding I was always having to double clutch to get it in the second gear. I have replaced just about every part in the gearbox including the second gear which I thought was the problem as the synchro was bottoming out or touching the face of gear it was well worn. Went yesterday for my first test drive and all of the gears worked perfectly and shifted very smoothly but when I try to downshift from third to second it grinds terribly I had to come to a complete stop to be able to shift it into second gear. It shifts from 1st to 2nd no problem third and fourth gears work very well as does reverse. Do you have any suggestions? I couldn?t find anything on the tolerances between the gears would you have access to some kind of chart or spec sheet?  My other thought was the plunger in the sliding hub might not be engaging on the first motion shaft. Any thoughts or ideas for me to try! 

I would certainly appreciate any help you might be able to provide!

On these old cars double declutch when shifting down and take your time 
shifting up with a small pause in neutral, less than half a second will 
do, just to match the revs. This will keep your synchro's alive. Just 
treat it as a non-synchro box. I am so used to it that I also do it on 
my more modern daily driver.

When I got mine in ?07 they were $150 for fronts and $215 for front and rear.  Check their website for current prices.

A hearty 'second' on CocoMats. Several choices for materials, they don't slip and have excellent customer service. Even if they have a pattern, you might want to provide a template; the better your template, the better the fit (including notches for the seat rails). IIRC, they don't charge for a custom fit.

I had cheap rubber mats for years; they would slide up and interfere with the pedals (an annoyance and minor safety issue). I finally wised-up.

I recently bought these rubber mats from Moss - Floor mat Set, Black Rubber  021-430 for my side shift BT7. There were guidelines to trim for the different gear box profiles. They fit well and I am happy with the result.

Yes, the side shift / center shift gearboxes require different profiles.  The rubber Ammco mats have the two profiles molded in and you cut the excess rubber off to fit your car.

Hi all,  I am thinking of buying some floor mats for my side-shifter BT7 to save the wear and tear on the original Karvel carpet I have.   Several suppliers sell a pair of mats  that are described as ?embroidered? with the Healey wings and they are listed as fitting all 3000s from ?59 to ?67.  I thought the side-shift and centre shift gearbox tunnels were different and had a different profile to the carpets, so I don?t see how these mats will fit all 3000s.  Anyone have any experience with them in side-shifter?  The ones Moss sell seem a little different and they say they fit only ?62 to ?67 cars, which would be the centre shift cars.   More generally, anyone recommend some inexpensive fitted mats to go over the carpet?  Many thanks.

Listers,

I am assembling my rebuilt 66 BJ8 cylinder head.

What torque reading should I take the nuts to?  The manual says 900 inch
pounds which is 56.25 foot pounds.  That doesn't seem right.  I have been
told 70 - 75  foot pounds.  I have also been told 85 foot pounds.

Everyone says to reach final torque in 3 steps, increasing by 15 pounds
each step.

What is correct?

I have also been told to seal each head bolt into the block.  If so, what
sealant should I use?

Fred,

900 in-lbs = 75 ft-lbs. The three steps are a good idea. ARP assembly
lubricant liberally on the nuts and washers will help to get a uniform
torque.

When torquing the nuts it's a good practice to do them in 1/3
increments so if 75 is your target-do the first tightening around
25-30 then about 60 and finally 75 following the diagram in the
workshop manual for all 16 nuts recommended tightening order. Haynes
also recommends 900 inch lbs as the target.Use Locktiite white as the
sealant for all studs-especially the ones which go into the water
jacket! Hank

The head studs do not go into any water jacket.  Do not use any sealant.  In spite of what any manual says, you should only put the studs in finger tight.

The car is a 3000, MkII BT7 ie it does not have wind up windows.

 

Now, the door will shut but it sticks out about 7+mm at the top. One closes
the door which engages with the latch on the striker. The door is firmly
closed and will not open until one turns the interior or exterior handle.
BUT, once the door is shut and engaged, it moves out. Doesn't look good.

 

I tried moving the striker plate inwards, bit by bit. No change. 

 

I thought/hoped that the catch mechanism had worn out and replaced it. To be
fair, the mechanism was pretty well worn out - it's old!! - but this made no
difference.

 

I tried messing with the striker plate again. No change. It looked pretty
worn and shabby so I replaced that too...No change.

 

The process seems simple enough in theory but, in practise, I'm making no
progress. Is it one of those situations, which I seem to encounter all too
often, where the cure is so counter-intuitive that it never occurs to the
inexperienced amateur?? I'm moving the plate inwards..seems obvious, right?
Should it be going outwards? Or what?? 

 

This has all been pretty frustrating. Getting the catch mechanism out was a
nightmare and the so-called escutcheon on the door handle was solid so had
to be sacrificed with a cold chisel..etcetc.

 

Any ideas would be very welcome.

 

Thanks,

Simon

Hard to say without seeing it, but you may require some shims behind the 
hinges (to compensate for a sagging chassis).

Simon- Typically the body shop takes a 2x4 and bends the top of the
door inward-something that you may not want to tackle, but it is one
method of "adjusting" the door fit. If the gaps around the door are
equal you probably don't have the dreaded chassis sag but if the top
edge is a tighter gap than the bottom gap, Bob may have hit on the
issue. Additionally, the cockpit trim and swedge line would not line
up. If you have a good panel beater nearby, I would suggest a
visit...they have a good eye for that type of thing. I don't believe
that the striker or latch adjustment is the problem or the door would
stick out in the middle of the door edge.
Back in the good old days, Geoff Healey designed (engineered) the
metal for the floor pans and sills out of .015 ga. material. To save
$$ the Austin design team spec'd the metal to .018 and the body sagged
and the doors would not open. The factory had to go into each car and
weld in a new floor pan, stamped 100, out of heavier stock to remedy
the problem. This photo shows the factory "patch panel" in place. Hank

 Hard to say without seeing it, but you may require some shims behind
the hinges (to compensate for a sagging chassis).

In that case, a lot of us could use some shims.

I don't profess to be an expert coachbuilder but have had considerable
success following the procedure demonstrated to me many years back.
Install the door on its hinges completely bare, no latches, no liner, no
door seals, no combing and then make the necessary adjustments to ensure
that it fits correctly into its aperture with correct gaps.
If the door will not fit "bare" significant alterations will be necessary.
After that is correct start adding things one at a time ensuring that the
fit of the door is adversely affected by what you just fitted.
Takes a while but has always served me well.

I am a firm believer in the SU fuel pump.  If it ever does quit,  a thump on the rear bulkhead will free up the points and it will start working again.  It will always be enough to get you home or around town for the next 6 months with another thump every now and then.  With electronic pumps they just die and you are screwed.

I absolutely concur with Ricchardd SU pumps, once set up correctly, are
incredibly reliable. The only ones that I have seen fail are those where
the inlet becomes blocked which can result in the points remaining closed
and the coil overheating and failing.

Hoo boy ... SU pumps have been a personal bugaboo for decades. I have tried:

- points with capacitors (SU and home-rolled)

- points with diodes (SU and home-rolled)

- points with TVS diodes

- points switching power transistors

- SS with SU conversion kits

- SS from SU

Earlier pumps had no arc-suppression, then SU added capacitors (similar 
function to condensors with ignition points), then diodes in a 
'flywheel' circuit, to shunt the large voltage/current 'backflow' from 
the pump body/solenoid. The SU SS pumps use a Hall Effect sensor to 
switch a transistor (similar to what Pertronix uses). The late Dave 
DuBois--who all but dedicated his retirement to designing a bulletproof 
pump--used an optical sensor for switching (I believe he also designed 
the points/transistor system which was unsuitable because it DIDN'T 
allow sufficient current across the points to clean them).

It's a crapshoot; some owners report years of reliable function from 
points-based systems; some SS units don't last long at all. Dave DuBois 
was a meticulous rebuilder--he would run pumps on a test rig for 24 
hours before shipping--but I never got infinite reliability with them. 
Like Richard said, you can keep a points pump going with a whack from a 
hammer, or pull the pump off, file the points and readjust the preload 
on the solenoid to get you home (I once rebuilt one in a hotel room). 
I've got 2 or 3 pumps for my BN2--I forget which one's in there--but 
always carry a spare. Towards the end of my extended trips--up to 5K 
miles--I carried two spares in my BJ8 and have enough parts and partials 
to assemble a couple.

It's been a few years, but the last time I sourced points sets they were 
crap; they appeared to be made with a shiny metal like silver, and they 
should be made out of tungsten, which is a dull grey color. The 'silver' 
ones would start eroding within just a few miles. Anyone know if decent 
points are available (last I heard there's a similar issue with ignition 
points)? One issue with points is their arcing, if not sufficiently 
suppressed, generates ozone which can quickly corrode internals, so make 
sure the one-way vent valve on the control end is functioning properly. 
FWIW, I haven't seen a failure that I can definitively attribute to 
contemporary fuel blends.

It's some consolation, I suppose, that even modern fuel pumps are known 
to fail; but with some of them you have to pull the tank out to get to 
them. And don't get me started on engine-driven pumps with 6V ignition 
systems (it's a toss-up if the engine starts before the battery dies).

Attached photo is either one of Dave's rebuilt units or an OEM SU; I 
still don't have a clue why that happened (I think Dave eventually went 
to a Hall Effect setup, too; my memory is blurry).

I am a firm believer in the SU fuel pump.  If it ever does quit,  a thump on the rear bulkhead will free up the points and it will start working again.  It will always be enough to get you home or around town for the next 6 months with another thump every now and then.  With electronic pumps they just die and you are screwed.

SU AUF301 or the later replacement AZX 1308.

Keep the standard set up and repair the original unit but add a 
bidirectional diode (transil/TVS 18V or 19V peak) over the standard 
capacitor to further reduce arcing over the points. It is usually 
sufficient to sand the points using say 400 wet&dry until there are no 
or hardly any black spots visible and finish the surface with 1200 
wet&dry. Set the gaps at 0,9mm and 2,8mm. If the valves or valve seals 
do not leak leave them well alone. The same with the domed covers. When 
separating the coil housing from the pump? body make sure you do not 
tear the thin white mylar layer of the three layer diaphragm. If the 
original diaphragm is intact keep it and do not use a modern 
replacement. I have rebuilt many pumps with diaphragms over 60 years old 
that are still in pristine condition. I have rebuild well over a hundred 
pumps and rarely see deteriorated diaphragms and the ones that are 
faulty usually had the thin mylar layer damaged. Carefully loosen the 
three layers, clean with brake cleaner and let dry thoroughly and apply 
some talcum powder very sparingly between the layers to reduce friction 
and binding.

If the Bakelite top or the bridge is cracked or even broken you can 
easily fix that using Araldite or similar. The bridge can easily crack 
when the screws are turned down to tight.

These pumps are utterly reliable when used regularly and can last well 
over 100.000 miles on a set of points and even then it usually suffice 
to polish them. When left for a considerable time in a not completely 
dry storage the points will corrode and fail, which means taking the 
points out, polishing and adjusting them properly.
Even when buying a new points pump it might not work initially because 
of corrosion forming during storage. Before installing one should always 
run a bit rough carton followed by flower paper 1200 through the points!

The pump on my Jensen-Healey, which is the same as on the A-H 3000, has 
done well over 250.000 miles since 1974 on two cars. It was not in use 
between 1985 and 2008 bar a yearly start up. I transplanted it from my 
first J-H to my present one (from the US) which had a modern pump 
installed when I bought it. Most parts are still original including the 
(re-polished) points but I did add a transil a few years ago and renewed 
the cork seal under the large dome as the cork was a bit crumbly.

On various official SU sites you can find an excellent description of 
how to rebuild and set up these pumps. There are also some good 
recordings on You Tube however there are also some that are absolute 
crap and do not give any description of how to properly set up the pumps.

When adjusting the diaphragm you should officially turn back the 
diaphragm 4 holes. It is sometimes necessary to turn back 5 or 6 holes. 
Start with 4 and if the pump is not starting up part dismantle and turn 
another one or two holes.

If need be the original points pumps can be repaired "en route". The 
solid state pumps cannot.

The solid state SU pumps can be temperamental. Some last for ever 
without fail but others just give up or won't start up at all. They are 
also difficult to set up reliably if they need attention. The culprit 
seems to often be the small plastic bush in the coil housing that is 
meant to guide the shaft on the diaphragm. This bush can sink out of 
sight ending up near the diaphragm.

The similar plastic replacement SS pumps from New Zealand under various 
brand names seem very reliable and cheap.

Important is that you fit the pump in the car with the outlet facing 
upwards!!

Some of you have fitted the AZX1307 which is for an MGB. It will work 
for normal driving but as its delivery pressure is lower than the 
AZX1308 it may not do for spirited driving. These two pumps are 
identical bar the conical spring on the diaphragm which determines the 
delivery pressure and the plastic cover with the vent on top.

Thanks to all that took the time and trouble to reply. Much appreciated as
ever.

 

The issue was a mixture of most things relevant to your varied advice.
Except, happily, not to a sagging chassis. Things in our household do sag,
but we won't go there!

 

The lock was almost certainly original..pretty knackered. Nothing
particular, just a bit sloppy all round. One little crack just beginning.
Trouble for the future avoided there.

 

The striker likewise looked pretty worn and it was a fraction
wobbly...didn't rotate but could move around a little on its axis. Replaced.

 

Moving the striker upwards and inwards a little did the trick although one
has to give the door a fairly brisk shut. Nothing too serious, but it's not
the nice "thunk" that one gets with, say a Mercedes! I have to admit to not
appreciating the two positions ie where the tongue of the lock locates on
the striker. Holes in ones knowledge is why one asks the List???

 

The PO had lost(?) the tapped plate that goes in the wheel arch and into
which the four locating bolts are screwed and replaced them with a weedy
piece of steel (biscuit tin?) and nuts with flat and spring washers. Have to
admit that this did work but it was a complete pain to deal with. The tapped
plate, which I'd been missing all these years, did simplify things. I
suppose I've got the same arrangement on the other side but will leave that
sleeping dog well alone for the while.

 

Problem solved.fingers crossed. Thanks again,

 

(My Roger Moment book arrived just as I finished putting everything back
together. The perfect answer is probably in there somewhere!)

 

Simon.

Sorry I made a typo, the gaps should be 0,9mm and *_/2,3mm /_*instead of 
the 2,8mm as stated in my first mail.

Bob,

The photo is of an OEM SU electronic pump.? Dave Dubois used an optical 
switch.? He removed the points from the toggle and soldered a brass vane 
on to it.? The attached image shows Dave's circuit board and the optical 
trigger epoxied to the pedestal.

He wrote in an article that you need some arcing to keep the points clean.

That is a SU electronic fuel pump from Burlen. Seems to me it has been 
inundated and not been drained in time.
If I am not mistaken the optical sets Dave Dubois manufactured and 
fitted to the pumps are still being supplied by Mel de Haas in the 
Netherlands. At the time he worked in close cooperation with Dave.

Yep. That's why the points-fired power transistor 'boosted' fix didn't 
work (for long); there wasn't enough current passing through the points 
to clean them. Also, points setup should be such that the points 'wipe' 
each other clean as the throw-over triggers (they should be set slightly 
offset). Norman Nock once noted that they used to clean the points and 
readjust the pumps as part of routine (12K miles) maintenance (Step 1: 
Remove the engine ;)).

Thanks, I couldn't remember if Dave went to a Hall Effect trigger or not 
(he did repair that one for me). The pumps have the check-valve vent for 
a couple reasons: To facilitate the movement of the diaphragm and to 
evacuate the ozone that can result from arcing. There are a couple 
versions of the vent; one smaller one that has a small ball and a larger 
one that, IIRC, doesn't.

In theory, the SS units should work forever but, as others have noted 
they may not work 'out of the box.'

I like to do the "Throw over" adjustment on a live battery which
insures that the diaphragm is in the correct hole location (4 or 5
back). Energizing the unit insures it is correct for the
point/diaphragm length position. 
Then viewing that photo as was sent with more rust than desired, I
feel that one of the most important items in the rebuild is the cap
seal. Usually missing or rotted but friction tape would substitute if
necessary. It keeps water out of the critical electrical parts
constantly slopping at it under the wheel well. Additionally, Moss
supplies a paper SU seal cover to finish the look. SUs forever! Hank

 SU AUF301 or the later replacement AZX 1308.

 Keep the standard set up and repair the original unit but add a
bidirectional diode (transil/TVS 18V or 19V peak) over the standard
capacitor to further reduce arcing over the points. It is usually
sufficient to sand the points using say 400 wet&dry until there are no
or hardly any black spots visible and finish the surface with 1200
wet&dry. Set the gaps at 0,9mm and 2,8mm. If the valves or valve seals
do not leak leave them well alone. The same with the domed covers.
When separating the coil housing from the pump body make sure you do
not tear the thin white mylar layer of the three layer diaphragm. If
the original diaphragm is intact keep it and do not use a modern
replacement. I have rebuilt many pumps with diaphragms over 60 years
old that are still in pristine condition. I have rebuild well over a
hundred pumps and rarely see deteriorated diaphragms and the ones that
are faulty usually had the thin mylar layer damaged. Carefully loosen
the three layers, clean with brake cleaner and let dry thoroughly and
apply some talcum powder very sparingly between the layers to reduce
friction and binding.

 If the Bakelite top or the bridge is cracked or even broken you can
easily fix that using Araldite or similar. The bridge can easily crack
when the screws are turned down to tight.

 These pumps are utterly reliable when used regularly and can last
well over 100.000 miles on a set of points and even then it usually
suffice to polish them. When left for a considerable time in a not
completely dry storage the points will corrode and fail, which means
taking the points out, polishing and adjusting them properly.
 Even when buying a new points pump it might not work initially
because of corrosion forming during storage. Before installing one
should always run a bit rough carton followed by flower paper 1200
through the points!

 The pump on my Jensen-Healey, which is the same as on the A-H 3000,
has done well over 250.000 miles since 1974 on two cars. It was not in
use between 1985 and 2008 bar a yearly start up. I transplanted it
from my first J-H to my present one (from the US) which had a modern
pump installed when I bought it. Most parts are still original
including the (re-polished) points but I did add a transil a few years
ago and renewed the cork seal under the large dome as the cork was a
bit crumbly.

 On various official SU sites you can find an excellent description of
how to rebuild and set up these pumps. There are also some good
recordings on You Tube however there are also some that are absolute
crap and do not give any description of how to properly set up the
pumps.

 When adjusting the diaphragm you should officially turn back the
diaphragm 4 holes. It is sometimes necessary to turn back 5 or 6
holes. Start with 4 and if the pump is not starting up part dismantle
and turn another one or two holes.

 If need be the original points pumps can be repaired "en route". The
solid state pumps cannot.

 The solid state SU pumps can be temperamental. Some last for ever
without fail but others just give up or won't start up at all. They
are also difficult to set up reliably if they need attention. The
culprit seems to often be the small plastic bush in the coil housing
that is meant to guide the shaft on the diaphragm. This bush can sink
out of sight ending up near the diaphragm.

 The similar plastic replacement SS pumps from New Zealand under
various brand names seem very reliable and cheap.

 Important is that you fit the pump in the car with the outlet facing
upwards!!

 Some of you have fitted the AZX1307 which is for an MGB. It will work
for normal driving but as its delivery pressure is lower than the
AZX1308 it may not do for spirited driving. These two pumps are
identical bar the conical spring on the diaphragm which determines the
delivery pressure and the plastic cover with the vent on top.

All -

I know it is sacrilege but I have had very good results with the Bendix
style pump made by Facet.  It's very quiet, has an inbuilt filter, and
provides the correct pressure for the SUs.  Very easily installed on the
3000 using an off the shelf T bracket from your local hardware store.

Before throwing tomatoes at me, I still use dual SUs on my Jag and and an
SU on my 100.

Cheers,

Alan

Subject: [Healeys] Bendix Pumps
Message-ID: <00a401d97691$96b7be60$c4273b20$@gmail.com>

Gentlemen:

 

For your information for 40 years, I traveled the world selling automotive
and industrial products.  I was the regional director for the Automotive
Exporters Club and attended meetings in New York on a regular basis. Many of
the members were VP Sales International of major automotive corporations.
The Bendix international sales manager had been trying to convince the
Healey group to switch over to their pump for many years.  Finally, they
agreed, and orders were being prepared for the change over when the
production of the Healey was cancelled. 

 

The pump we are speaking about was developed by William Bendix in the 20's
for use on airplanes because it was designed to allow fuel to continue to
flow when planes were upside down.  Over the years it has been improved
using solid state electrics and continues to perform to provide fuel to
engines operating on land, in the air, and on sea.  My sailboat has a Kubota
diesel engine with a Bendix fuel pump.  I was having problems with starting
the engine due to lack of fuel going to the engine, so I changed the filters
and forgot there is a screen filter in the bottom of the Bendix Pump. Then I
remembered, opened the pump, and noticed the filter had been doing its job
as it was packed with yellow cake particles. After cleaning the filter in
the Bendix pump and purging the fuel tank of the crud the hard starting
problem was solved.  They just keep on ticking!

 

Next time the fuel pump in my Healey gives me problems, I will change it to
a Bendix.

Well as long as we are being honest about fuel pumps:

Though I use a solid-state SU on my Healey (backed up by an inline FACET
cube) on both of my Weber-equipped race cars I use a Carter 2040 which is
THE recommended pump for Webers and of course will work on SU's as well.
I've been using the Carters for about 15 years and have never had one break
down or fail in any way.  They're reasonably priced, easy to mount and make
no unseemly noises.

I have had a backup generic electric fuel pump on my BJ8 to supplement the SU since installing it in preparation for the cross-country trip to Lake Tahoe in 2002.  I?ve always considered the SU the primary and the generic the backup.  On outbound trips, I?ve used the SU and on the return switched to the backup.  During the post-Conclave Northern States Tour after Deadwood in 2019, I broke away from the group to drive over into Montana alone, about a 160-mile loop.  Just after crossing the state line, and in a cow-country wilderness, I felt the car failing to respond to the accelerator.  Running on the backup pump, it was the one that failed.  A quick switch to the SU kept me going ? fortunately, since it was now pouring rain.  I was able to locate another identical generic pump at an Autozone in Minot, ND and had it installed in about 15 minutes.  

I?ve never had the SU fail except early in my ownership in 1984.  After the Montana failure, I now consider the generic the primary pump and the SU the backup.   I know if the generic fails again, I can easily find a replacement someplace locally.   I do exercise the SU periodically, just to make sure it is still working.

I?ve installed a double-ended SU which sort of reinforces my faith in SU whilst doubling up on the reserve pump option. One can switch from end to end, both of which are individually fused. One end did fail and the other got me home. It was the points.

Simon,

I thought that the AUF400 series pumps were configured to use both pumps 
at the same time and the AUF500 series was the use one side at a time 
version.? Will have to see if I have one of each to look at.

Bendix fuel pumps cylinder style is what I use on my boat, however, some on this list use a cube style as a backup pump.

Also, I currently have a Carter Pump on my Healey because it was available 10 years ago.  When it dies, I will install the Bendix cylinder pump shown above.  Watch what you?re buying as there are Chinese copies

Thanks, Bob.

I've come across this one which looks promising; though I haven't tried 
one. You might have to tweak the inlet/outlet lines:

While we are on the topic of fuel pumps ....
I recently installed a new SU electronic pump on my BJ8.
Relatively straight forward install.
However the "tick" interval was my concern.
Ticks approx. every 5 secs with the engine off.
Almost continuous when idling.
Very different to the old points style tick interval.
No delivery side fuel leaks.
Spent a lot of effort hunting for inlet side leaks - checking seals etc
Car runs fine.
Eventually gave up and called Bulen in the UK (where pump came from)
Evidently the electronic pumps have a ball bearing arrangement to simulate
the classic SU tick sound ?
They indicated all OK and just within spec.
Being cynical, still a little suspicious of potential  problems down the
line ?
So wondering what others have experienced when fitting electronic SU pumps ?

The electronic ones I have encountered all sounded like the old points 
pump, i.e. a rapid clicking when switching on the ignition that stops 
after a few seconds when the float bowls are full. The same with the few 
I converted to electronics as an experiment on request. There was no 
difference in behaviour compared to the points pumps.

This Hardi pump is often found in various classic cars in Europe. They 
seem to perform well but pressure and delivery may be an issue. I think 
they are more AZX1307 spec (MGB) rather than AZX1308/AUF301 (A-H, J-H, 
Jaguar,Stag. Higher pressure) For normal driving they should be OK. I 
think the threads are compatible with the SU pumps. Most threads in 
hydraulic/fuel/water fittings in Europe are still Imperial instead of 
Metric as one would expect.

G?day

 

To increase the amount of collective trivia knowledge, everyone might be interested to know that Warwick built Healeys or real Healeys were fitted originally with twin SU fuel pumps. One for sea level driving and the other for Alpine. To change from one to another or to both it?s a matter of pressing a button on the dash.

 

One of the pumps fitted to my 1948 Healey Duncan is still points operated, while the other is electronic. The electronic pump is polarity sensitive (+ve), while the points pump is not.

I?ve installed a double-ended SU which sort of reinforces my faith in SU whilst doubling up on the reserve pump option. One can switch from end to end, both of which are individually fused. One end did fail and the other got me home. It was the points.

An SU pump with points when polarity sensitive is easy to convert to non 
polarity sensitive. Just replace the diode with a bi-directional 
transil/TVS. Converting the electronic polarity sensitive pumps is more 
involved.

Had this pump on my BJ8 for the last decade, works fine, sounds same as 
original.

It is simple.? To send messages to healeys at autox.team.net you send 
messages to healeys at autox.team.net.? If you send messages to 
healeys-xxxxxx they will NOT go to the list.

I was driving home the other night in my  BT7 when it started to
rain.nothing much, a heavy drizzle.

No great worries..I try to avoid rain, but it's more or less inevitable in
SW UK.

But what was irritating was that it started to leak after about 10 minutes.
Not a lot, but it would probably have been much worse if the rain had been
much heavier.

It was only in one spot.running down the windscreen right in my direct line
of sight. Typical.

I'm sure this is a regular occurrence; they were probably issued with leaks
at the factory.

How have you guys fixed(?) this? I thought that I had..I cut up an old inner
tube and stuck that to the mating surface of the bow. Now I wonder whether I
should put another piece in where it leaked or would that create a little
raised section and that it would now leak on either side of that..?

In the past, anticipating a long drive in the rain, I've taped it up. Works
a treat.

Thanks,

Simon

When my BJ8 was restoration was being discussed I wanted to completely
replace the top and wanted to stop the water leaks.  The restorer said, do
not worry, we know how to fix it.  Two years later, the leaks began again.
Fortunately, the car was shipped to our new winter home in SWFL where it
never rains in the winter. In fact, just put up the top in December for the
first time in 10 years.  Still no rain.

 

So, is there a fix?

Simon, there should be a rubber seal along the bottom of the top bow that
seals it against the chrome strip of the windscreen frame.  I recently had a
new top installed, but I looked after the seal.  I am not sure what the
original seal looked like, so I got a couple of candidate replacements from
a local English Car trimmer and experimented.  It is tricky, as I found that
most of the seal profiles made is very hard to get the top bow on and
clamped down, but I eventually found a thin, rectangular section seal that
worked.  I have yet to test in the rain, but I have high expectations.

 

Also, make sure the leak is between the top bow and the frame, not between
the frame and the glass.  As tops age they shrink slightly and get very
tight and when up can pull the top frame right off the windshield.  I was
horrified some years ago when I put my old top up, got in the car, and could
see daylight between the glass and the frame!  I took the windshield out,
took it apart and re-assembled with new sealing around the windshield glass
(actually Rich Chrysler did it for me - it is a tricky job).

 

Good luck.

Good afternoon everyone,I am trying to remove my od without removing the tranny.? I know it is not a great way to go, but I am into it. Do I lift the od and tranny as a unit and if so how high do i dare Iift the unit without damaging something? I have separated the od and tranny about 2 inches and have the od slid back so it is sitting on top of the 2 rubber mounts. The chassis keeps me from sliding it back any further back unless I can raise the tranny/od high enough to clear the chassis. I would appreciate any advice.Thanks in advance,Sam DeSalvo?

What could you expect from a British soft top? Most of them are crap. 
Remarkable as it often rains in the UK. In Italy where it does rain a 
whole lot less the soft tops from Fiat, Alfa etc. are usually leak proof.

Others may advise differently but it isn't the way to go. Although you may,
with difficulty, get the get the overdrive off reinstalling it is almost
impossible even with my special tool.

I had an employee damage an overdrive very badly (cracked case) trying to
proove me wrong.
Just sayin'.

Did this once and will NEVER try it again. You will have to slide the overdrive into the driveshaft tunnel and get the overdrive out. Then you have a fight to get it back in.

I would recommend that after you get the overdrive out, remove the transmission, install the overdrive onto the transmission. Then install the complete unit into the car.

50 years of working on British cars and I have found that there is NO short cuts. Just bite the bullet and do it right the first time.

Good afternoon everyone,
I am trying to remove my od without removing the tranny.  I know it is not a great way to go, but I am into it. Do I lift the od and tranny as a unit and if so how high do i dare Iift the unit without damaging something? I have separated the od and tranny about 2 inches and have the od slid back so it is sitting on top of the 2 rubber mounts. The chassis keeps me from sliding it back any further back unless I can raise the tranny/od high enough to clear the chassis. I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks in advance,

Disclaimer: I've never even tried this; sounds risky and why not refresh 
the clutch while you're at it (unless you know it only has a few 
thousand miles on it).

But, I'll throw out a wag. There are several things that could limit the 
vertical travel of the drivetrain--in roughly decreasing levels of 
risk--off the top-of-my-head:

1) Fan hitting the radiator.

2) Breaking something in the throttle linkage (more finicky than even 
the 6-cyl cars IMO)

3) Stressing/breaking something in the mechanical clutch linkage

4) Stressing the motor mounts (aftermarket rubber parts are sketchier 
even than OEM)

5) Hitting scuttle/firewall or other restraint

It'll be a bitch getting it mated back to the gearbox--at least, I KNOW 
it is in the 6-cyl cars--unless you get REAL lucky.


#s 1-3 require further disassembly of your drivetrain.

I don?t know about a 100-4 but with my BT7 I find it better to remove the transmission and OD as a unit. The tunnel on the BT7 also interferes with removal and installation. It is difficult to align the third motion shaft when you mate the OD to the transmission on the car. Also, you will need to tie down the pump plunger which is also easier to do with the assembly out of the car.

 

You will need to lift the engine, tranny and OD as a unit and high enough to obtain the clearances you need to remove the OD. You most likely will need to loosen the motor mounts to do this. There may be other things you need to disconnect so you don?t bend or break things when you lift them. The engine will need to be supported during all of this work. Also, be careful that the fan does not tilt into the radiator and damage it.

 

As counter intuitive as this might seem, it could be easier to remove the engine, transmission and OD as a unit. It takes me less than two hours to do so and about the same amount of time to reinstall it. The only difficult part is easing the assembly out of and back into the hood opening.

Simon,You seem to be close to a water tight seal if you only have one leak & it took 10 minutes to get inside.I would consider replacing the seal you made out of an inner tube. That rubber is not very compressible. Try to find a thin (like the inner tube rubber) & spongy rubber strip.Gary Hodson

What could you expect from a British soft top? Most of them are crap. Remarkable as it often rains in the UK. In Italy where it does rain a whole lot less the soft tops from Fiat, Alfa etc. are usually leak proof.

Will be interested to hear how you make out ... ?
BTW I have had the OD annulus out, in situ in my BJ8 to replace the
tailshaft bearings.
Doing it in 2 stages may give you more space.
What OD repair are you expecting to do ?
Not for the faint hearted though.

There are numerous types of weatherstripping available at your local

variety and they come in various thicknesses.

Subject: [Healeys] 100-4 od
Message-ID: <0d674264dd51ca35fbad20f99881908bc5493490@webmail>

David has probably, over the years, pulled more transmissions than all
of us combined. Listen to what he is saying. Pull the whole unit as
one from the engine backplate.
I have this task awaiting me in a gearbox swap. If you read the shop
manual; even with the trans attached it will require you to get some
clearance -loosen the motor mounts and remove the radiator as you must
raise and tilt the engine 5" in order to clear the GB/OD unit at the
rear.
Put a jack at the engine backplate and place a board across the X
opening (for safety) and use a rope to lift the unit AFTER it is clear
of the clutch-do not stress the clutch or upset the fit of the
pressure plate by letting it rest on the splines-that way it will slip
right back in and no damage is done to the driveline. It must be a
smooth, slick move out, and then in as well, or you are in trouble.
Unit is heavy to say the least. 
If you did successfully get the OD off and out-putting it back is
another story as you must tie back the oil pump plunger (else it james
into the main bushing and bends or breaks the cam wheel) and how will
you line up the mainshaft into the OD clutch and insure the 8 springs
end up on their pegs? That all should be done vertically on the
bench-see some online YOUTUBE "experts" fumble thru that process!
Best if done with two people one on the top and one (safely) below to
hand it backward and guide it forward upon return. Take your time (as
David suggests-no shortcuts)-drink beer after its out and in. Hank,

   Did this once and will NEVER try it again. You will have to slide
the overdrive into the driveshaft tunnel and get the overdrive out.
Then you have a fight to get it back in.   I would recommend that
after you get the overdrive out, remove the transmission, install the
overdrive onto the transmission. Then install the complete unit into
the car.   50 years of working on British cars and I have found that
there is NO short cuts. Just bite the bullet and do it right the first
time.       David Nock

I eliminated leaks along the top of the windscreen on my 100 as follows:

I purchased from Moss the chrome rod used on certain MGB's and Spridgets
upon which the rear view mirror was mounted.
I drilled a 3/16" hole in the scuttle just in front of where the stock rear
view mirror mounts.
I fabricated a small bracket, threaded the top end of the rod into it
and attached
it to the inside of the top bow.
I passed the bottom end of the rod through the hole in the scuttle and by
reaching under the dash and using a fender washer and wing nut I created
tension on the rod which clamps the top bow to the windshield and
eliminates the air gap/water leak.

When using my hardtop I remove the stock rear view mirror and use the
mirror fitted on the B's/Spridgets.  The mirror can be slid up the rod
which gives better vision to the rear and eliminates vibration transmitted
through the scuttle. The mirror's higher position also lessens the amount
of glare from headlights of following cars.

In practice the rod becomes almost invisible because the eye is focused in
the distance.  The installation sounds more complicated than it actually is
and--provided you are willing to drill the small hole in the scuttle--it is
an effective and easy way of eliminating leaks along the top of the
windshield.

 positioned incorrectly

I recently purchase a new rear bumper for my 67 BJ8 because it costs over
$1,000 to have it re-chromed.  When installing with the license plate
assembly attached, I noticed that it was tilted downward.  Immediately I
looked at the position of the brackets in the inside of the older bumper and
noticed they were positioned close to the dent line whereas on the new
bumper they were 1/2 inch away from the dent line, hence the tilt of the
bracket.  The problem can be fixed by my friend who has the machine shop by
taking the bolt holes in the bracket and cutting a 1/2-inch slot so the
plate will roll up straight.

When I mention the problem to the supplier's sales manager, he responded
that he went into the warehouse and all in stock have the bolt brackets in
the same place as I described.  They have been making these bumpers for
years and no one has ever mentioned the brackets are 1/2 inch off from the
original bumpers.  So, we both wonder, have any of you had the same
experience? Note the pictures above starting with the old bumper.

I would use the thinnest compressible insulation you can find. Remember, it will need to be compressed the full length of the windscreen by the 2 latches at each end. If it is too thick you will have difficulty getting the catches closed & saying closed.Gary Hodson?

Simon, Gary expressed exactly what I went through, but more succinctly!

 

I attached some photos including one of my old seal, which I believe to be original, and the seal that I eventually used after a few trials with different thicknesses.  As I noted in our off-line thread, Martin MacGregor at MacGregor British Car Parts is an excellent source of all trimming material for English cars (amazing selection of trim fasteners too!).  He is in Ancaster, Ontario, Canada.  www.macgregorukcarpets.com <http://www.macgregorukcarpets.com> 

 

I attached a few photos of what I used.  I found ?? wide by 3/16? thick perfect, but as with a lot of Healey details each car is different.

 

Cheers, Mirek

I would use the thinnest compressible insulation you can find. Remember, it will need to be compressed the full length of the windscreen by the 2 latches at each end. If it is too thick you will have difficulty getting the catches closed & saying closed.

There are numerous types of weatherstripping available at your local Home Depot equivalent. They work well; I recommend the 'closed cell' variety and they come in various thicknesses.

What could you expect from a British soft top? Most of them are crap. Remarkable as it often rains in the UK. In Italy where it does rain a whole lot less the soft tops from Fiat, Alfa etc. are usually leak proof.

Simon, there should be a rubber seal along the bottom of the top bow that seals it against the chrome strip of the windscreen frame.  I recently had a new top installed, but I looked after the seal.  I am not sure what the original seal looked like, so I got a couple of candidate replacements from a local English Car trimmer and experimented.  It is tricky, as I found that most of the seal profiles made is very hard to get the top bow on and clamped down, but I eventually found a thin, rectangular section seal that worked.  I have yet to test in the rain, but I have high expectations.

 

Also, make sure the leak is between the top bow and the frame, not between the frame and the glass.  As tops age they shrink slightly and get very tight and when up can pull the top frame right off the windshield.  I was horrified some years ago when I put my old top up, got in the car, and could see daylight between the glass and the frame!  I took the windshield out, took it apart and re-assembled with new sealing around the windshield glass (actually Rich Chrysler did it for me ? it is a tricky job).

 

Good luck.

I was driving home the other night in my  BT7 when it started to rain?nothing much, a heavy drizzle.

No great worries?.I try to avoid rain, but it?s more or less inevitable in SW UK.

But what was irritating was that it started to leak after about 10 minutes. Not a lot, but it would probably have been much worse if the rain had been much heavier.

It was only in one spot?running down the windscreen right in my direct line of sight. Typical.

I?m sure this is a regular occurrence; they were probably issued with leaks at the factory.

 incorrectly

I recently purchase a new rear bumper for my 67 BJ8 because it costs over
$1,000 to have it re-chromed.  When installing with the license plate
assembly attached, I noticed that it was tilted downward.  Immediately I
looked at the position of the brackets in the inside of the older bumper and
noticed they were positioned close to the dent line whereas on the new
bumper they were 1/2 inch away from the dent line, hence the tilt of the
bracket.  The problem can be fixed by my friend who has the machine shop by
taking the bolt holes in the bracket and cutting a 1/2-inch slot so the
plate will roll up straight.

When I mention the problem to the supplier's sales manager, he responded
that he went into the warehouse and all in stock have the bolt brackets in
the same place as I described.  They have been making these bumpers for
years and no one has ever mentioned the brackets are 1/2 inch off from the
original bumpers.  So, we both wonder, have any of you had the same
experience? Note the pictures above starting with the old bumper.

Message-ID: <000001d97be7$b52d3180$1f879480$@sbcglobal.net>

I have a set of 1962 BT7 carburetors I plan on listing for sale on eBay. I
plan on listing them for $390 USD. What does the list think about the price
and listing?

 

This is the listing:

SU HS4 Carburetors - Original Fits Austin Healey

These are Austin-Healey SU HS4 carburetors from a 1962 BT7 MKII 3000 series
Tri-carb. It is a set of three; front, center and rear without the
carburetor to carburetor throttle linkages. 

They were fully functional when removed from the car about a year ago and
have been sitting, boxed, in a garage for over a year. All parts have been
nickel plated so they do not have the original finishes. 

Rebuilt in the past; including new, standard size, throttle shafts, jet
assemblies, new plastic floats and needle/seat assemblies. There are not any
missing parts, springs, etc. All screws and levers adjust and move freely.
The jets were centered and the pistons do not stick and they drop freely
against the jet bearing per S.U Burlen specifications.

It is possible they may need new float gaskets and the jet assembly. While
it appears new, it is possible the plastic feed tube from the float bowl to
the jet has dried out and cracked. It is flexible so I am not certain about
this.

There are some dark spots on the outside of the piston chamber and other
areas. These spots may not be removable. I have tried to remove them with
lacquer thinner and could not. More aggressive methods have not been tried
because of the nickel plating.

Please review all the pictures for overall condition and do not hesitate to
ask any questions prior to bidding or purchase. If you have any questions
about them, please feel free to message me on eBay.

Items sold as-is, no warranty. Review the pictures, read the description,
and make sure that this is the right part for your vehicle.
