Can someone remind me of the various rear axle ratios available for the
3000 and the benefits of each?

Thanks

Jonathan,

I wondered the same thing myself and created this table when restoring my
car.

Overdrive Ratio        0.82        0.78        0.82        0.78
0.82
0.78
Rear Axle Ratio        4.10        4.10        3.91        3.91
3.55
3.55
Final Ratio        3.37        3.19        3.21        3.04        2.91
2.76
Engine RPM @ 60 MPH      2,624      2,484      2,502      2,368      2,269
2,148
Just to further muddy the water there are two OD ratios available in
addition to the three rear axle ratios. I have the 0.78 / 3.55 combination
and my Healey happily cruises at 60 in OD.

 Thanks, Jon, for this comprehensive and accurate chart showing the 4.10 (100/6 overdrive), 3.9 (3000 overdrive, 100/6 non-OD), and 3.54 (3000 non-OD) ratios. I recently installed a Driven Man Tremec T5 five-speed in my '60 BN7, which I highly recommend as it's a brand-new transmission vs. having to hunt down an old and now hard-to-find Toyota W58 and most likely have to rebuild it.
Your combo of the .78 overdrive and 3.55 rear axle is especially illustrative, as that 2.76 final ratio is about as steep as you should get on these cars. My T5 has the optional .73 overdrive offered by The Driven Man in combination with the standard 3.9 rear end, which yields a final ratio of 2.84--great for relaxed cruising while maintaining good passing power, hill-climbing ability, and a fifth gear that's still usable at around-town speeds. Their standard .63 fifth overdrive gear yielded an impossibly low 2.46 final ratio, which made fifth unusable at anything below highway speeds, sapped any passing and hill-climbing power and leaving you stuck over-revving in fourth around town.?
Trust me, The Driven Man Tremec T5 five-speed transmission kit is the way to go if you want a much stronger transmission with the convenience of a synchronized first gear. It includes most of the necessary parts for what is essentially a bolt-in conversion, though you'll have to supply a later Healey center-shift tunnel plus the screw-in floor and bulkhead mating sheet metal if you have an earlier, side-shift 100/6 or 3000 (no kit yet for the four-cylinder 100s, sadly).?
However, DO NOT ORDER THEIR .63 FIFTH GEAR SET; spend the extra $500 for the .73 overdrive. I'd also stick with the 3.9 or even the 4.1 rear gears, even with the .73 overdrive, netting you either a 2.84 (which I have) or 2.99 final ratio--still significantly steeper than standard.?
For reference, pairing the Driven Man .73 fifth with a 3.55 yields a too-steep, 2.59 final ratio--pretty much the same as combining the .63 fifth with a 4.10 rear--while the .63 fifth brings the overall ratio down to a ridiculously low 2.23!!! Even the Denis Welch 4.3 rear gear combined with the .63 ratio yields just 2.709 overall in fifth and doubtless makes first gear a stump-puller.?
Hope this helps anyone considering a Healey five-speed swap ...

It?s on the passenger side (US) a little to the left of the grab handle under the dash. Reach around under there and it will fall to hand?

It's on the RHS under dash. Quite possibly in a rats nest of wires. It's
more of a loop than a handle. Just put a finger in, through and pull. Item

Thanks all for the replies.

I came across what I thought was a BN/T7, but now I'm pretty sure it's a 
BJ7. The car may (eventually) be for sale; the owner of a shop who 
rebuilt my Ranger's transmission is holding it for the daughter of the 
owner (who is incapacitated). It has, as far as I could tell, a near 
perfect body and a recent engine rebuild by a mechanic I know well who 
does excellent work. If I hear from the daughter I'll look further if 
anyone's interested.

Bob

Scroll down. Firefighters try to save what appears to be a TR6 (I can't 
tell for sure).

Above and beyond, IMO.

It's been for sale on Dennis Collins's website for a very long time and I
assume he's still the owner with Auburn Classics acting as a broker.
https://collinsbrosjeep.com/1958-austin-healey-100-6-goldie-roadster-chassis-no-bn62260/.
The $1.85m price one might call "ambitious" but at least Dennis takes
Paypal.

The hardtop for my 1961 BT7 is just about ready for final paint, but what
were the OEM colours? According to the Clausager book the hardtop colour
for a Healey Blue body colour was either Black, White or Blue. I am
planning to paint the hardtop white. Was the original white Old English
White?

Thanks... Harold

After more than fifty years of servicing British automobiles in the Seacoast NH area, Brit Bits has closed for good, leaving at least 200 regular customers homeless. Can anyone suggest other garages that would service a '65 BJ8 within 100 miles or so of Portsmouth NH. I'd once read about some place west of Boston but the name escapes me.

 Maybe of interest to some ...
I have never used the washer in my BJ8.
So, used that hole to install a 5/8 red led indicator light.
This light now indicates solid red for OD engaged, and flashing red to show
engaged but *"waiting for kick down". *Off after releasing the kick down
latch circuit.
I find it quite useful - the flashing *"waiting for kick down"* in
particular is a good driving reminder.
The circuit I cobbled together uses 2 small boards sandwiched together and
ptp wiring all in a small plastic enclosure. All wiring is done under the
dash; fused, and fully reversible and no original wiring molestation.
If of interest contact me for circuit and details.
Would work on all of our cars with a suitable LED location.

P.S. Does anyone know max file size ? Tried to post a few pix but gets
rejected.

I?d be very interested to see what you have put together.  I?ve just a simple light that shows when the OD should be ON, but I very much like your idea of flashing in the ?waiting for kickdown? mode.

 

I put my light on a wood panel I put in place of the speaker grille (along with three extra toggle switches) rather than the washer button.

Maybe of interest to some ...

I have never used the washer in my BJ8.

So, used that hole to install a 5/8 red led indicator light.

This light now indicates solid red for OD engaged, and flashing red to show engaged but "waiting for kick down". Off after releasing the kick down latch circuit.

I find it quite useful - the flashing "waiting for kick down" in particular is a good driving reminder.

The circuit I cobbled together uses 2 small boards sandwiched together and ptp wiring all in a small plastic enclosure. All wiring is done under the dash; fused, and fully reversible and no original wiring molestation. 

If of interest contact me for circuit and details.

Would work on all of our cars with a suitable LED location.

P.S. Does anyone know max file size ? Tried to post a few pix but gets rejected.

Hi Fellow Austin Healey lovers

I own a 2006 Corvette since new in addition to my 1963 BJ7.  Until today the only damage was 2-3 very minor scratches.  Unfortunately, I was just side swiped and sustained a fair amount of damage.  Can you recommend a good body shop that specializes in Corvettes.  Preferably in western Suffolk or eastern Nassau.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

My goal has been and continues to take the "wobbliness" out of the side
curtains which results from having the unthreaded pins drop-fit into the
unthreaded sockets and to give as good a weather seal as possible.  To that
end, several years ago I had a machinist make four brackets to replace the
stock-style brackets which came with the NICAL side curtains.  The new
brackets are machined out of a solid billet of AL.  They are about 5/16"
thick and are much stiffer than what came with the curtains. I attach them
to the curtain frames with SS machine screws and nuts so the brackets are
firmly mounted to the side curtain frames.

Instead of having fixed pins on the lower leg of the brackets they are
drilled to receive chrome plated button-head M10x1.50 screws about 1-3/4"
long which pass through the brackets.  I picked that size because the OD of
the screws is just a bit larger than the smooth interior of the stock
sockets. I was able to use the screws as taps, and with a bit of machine
oil and gentle hand I threaded the socket interiors and I can screw the
curtains down onto the sockets with a T-handle and largely eliminate the
wobble that was inherent with the stock system where smooth pins simply
dropped into the smooth sockets.  The screws are loosely retained in the
brackets with rubber washers slid up onto the shank and under the brackets
which keeps them from falling out when I store the curtains, and also
provide a bit of protection against scratching the top surface of the
sockets.

Initially everything was very good but over several years' use two of the
four sockets--which are threaded into the wooden blocks--have become loose
because of wear in the wooden blocks' thread and I can no longer draw the
button head screws tight without the sockets rotating in the blocks, etc.

I have a couple of solutions in mind but all involve getting the sockets
firmly attached to the car.  The easiest would involve replacing the wood
blocks with metal ones fixed to the doors' interiors with holes tapped to
screw the sockets into (which would preserve the eccentric adjustment the
sockets furnish) but in any case I need to know what is the thread on the
sockets.  The set of dies I have are not of sufficient diameter to
accommodate the exterior of the sockets for sizing and in any case I doubt
that the thread is either SAE or Metric.

I hope this long explanation explains my problem and thanks for your
interest.  BTW I will post pics, hopefully tomorrow, of the brackets and
fasteners.  I have no pride of authorship and hereby waive all rights and
release the concept to any other semi-compulsive owner of any
side-curtain-equipped vehicle.

If anyone is replacing the interior of a BJ8 Mk III and the old (black) Interior Panel and Trim etc are usable please let me know. I have a project car that is lacking all of this and it would be nice to have something in the interim prior to purchasing new interior.
There must be someone who is doing a full restoration where the interior is not up to snuff but still usable.

I found my inner A arm bushing lock nuts all loose today. These are Moss 
parts. Nylock nuts are not appropriate for those nuts. I should have 
used my old pins that have castellated nuts and cotter pins. I think if 
one keeps the Nylock nuts, they should be tightened at every lubrication 
interval. This is after 20000 miles.

As the large washer and the pin can't rotate, I wonder what would cause 
the nyloc nuts to loosen.? The rubber bushings got shorter? Might be 
interesting to put witness marks on the nuts and the chassis to see if 
the nuts are rotating.

I remember a problem that the nuts from some suppliers were too thick to fully engage the locking part of the thread. Someone from Australia or New Zealand had posted that there?d been failures. AH Spares agreed it could be a problem and sent me different nuts, but I ended up using fujilock nuts, which have a stainless locking feature?.no loosening so far.

Speaking of blue threadlocker, I recently had the outside of a flash 
drive come off.? A drop of blue and reassemble, and it's fine.? I'm so 
techy!

I found that the nylon feature of the nut barely engages the threaded 
pin. By looking at the nylon in the nut, one can see that there is only 
a very faint impression left by a thread. When assembled, the nut is 
just flush with the end of the pin. I was taught that there should be at 
least 1 1/2 thread protrusion, so I guess I ignored my own rule in 2017.
I will try a nut with a deformed thread style locking feature plus 
Loktite. If still not satisfied, I could drill holes in the pins for 
cotter pins or drill holes in the nuts for lock wire.
Yes there is no rotation of the bushings or pins that contact the nut so 
I guess the loosening was normal vibration over 20000 miles.
Thanks to all for responding.

Hi Bob,

It seems my reply was misunderstood. I think people might believe that NyLock nuts are an improvement over the OEM castle nuts. I was suggesting that people should use the original castle nut and not NyLock nuts. As you know, the castle nuts are available to purchase from most any local hardware store! A couple of thoughts come to mind; don't reinvent the wheel and if it isn't broke, don't fix it.

 

Regards,

John

Hi John,

 

You could always pop down to the nearest hardware store and buy a 'regular' nut; 7/16" fine IIRC (but I'm not crawling under my car to check ;). Note, as others have, that nylock nuts weren't OEM.

 

Regards,

bob

All true. Plus, we know that castle nuts and nylock nuts are appropriate for different purposes. Nylocks should not be used where they would be subject to rotation, and castle nuts with cotter pins are best for that application.

I am in the process of refinishing the glove box cover on my 1965 Austin Healey.  I need to restain it ? does anyone know of a good stain color match as the rest of the dashboard is still original and in great shape.

 

Thanks,

I use a product called Epifanes Clear Gloss Varnish, it comes in sizes of 250 ml, 500 ml or 1 litre. I have redone at least 8 dashboards from Austin-Healey and TR-6 with that product and it lasts. Quite expensive but very good quality  this is a marine product, mainly used on wooden boats.

Thanks for the recommendation on the varnish.  Will look into this and was
definitely planning on using a marine grade varnish.

 

Before I varnish I need to restain the wood on the glove box door.  It
needed to be sanded so it needs to be stained first before I can varnish.

 

Thanks,
