[Healeys] Import Healey parts from AH SPARES UK, OR OTHER UK SUPPLIERS

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

Hello Alan

 

If you’re used to production Austin-Healeys you will find the BN3 a challenge and very interesting.

 

There are components from a number of differing Austin cars and parts clearly made by using tin snips and a big hammer. 

 

For instance, last Sunday I spent five hours refitting the radiator, which surely after squeezing a six-cylinder engine through a 100 bonnet opening, is the second most difficult job with the car. It is not a standard 100 or 100/6-3000 radiator, but actually the same as fitted to my Healey Duncan Saloon complete with bottom brackets for bolting to the chassis. The radiator itself fits tightly between two vertical uprights beneath the front shroud. There are no cross braces. A suitable rubber hammer along with a shaped piece of wood. Don’t know how many Austin-Healeys need to have the front wheels removed to fit the radiator.

Patrick -

Sounds like my mate in uni who had a beautiful BSA with a Triumph front wheel!  TSK TSK.

Cheers,

Hello Alan

 

I sent the cattledog to them. All my orders have included a mix of 100 and 100/6 parts. Then when I bought a new clutch, it was for a BJ8.

 

Always fun.

G’day

 

While I am of course in a different country I have been purchasing Austin-Healey parts from AH Spares since 1973 when everything was done by snail mail. Always dealt directly with Fred Draper who was a gentleman

 

Never had any problem. Even last year when they sent +60 pistons instead of the +40 that I ordered, the new set was sent the very same day that I advised them. AH Spares organised for the pickup of the incorrect set a week or so later.

I am considering importing from AH SPARES part for my Healey.  However, I am concerned about the problem of going through customs and the cost.  Have any members of this group had any recent experience?
