FYI, Viton (FKM) is not a suitable material for use with all brake fluids.
For DOT3/4, you'll want EPDM.

Jake,

I am using DOT 5 silicone brake fluid. What material would you suggest? I
only want to re & Re the tank once.

FKM (Viton) will be fine with DOT5.

Wow! If a major parts supplier is selling brake fluid reservoir seals that
are incompatible with the vast majority of brake fluid sold, seems like a
big miss.

I must be missing something.

I have been using the rich needles for years on my BJ8 because the Air 
Fuel meter said I was going too lean up my hills at cruise. I could feel 
it too.
SWMBO is really bugging me about burbling on the overrun.
Today the best I could do for idle mixture was 3 1/4 turns from flush 
instead of 2 1/2. When lifting the little pin, it didn't die but it 
didn't have the momentary speed up either.
Is this it for California fuel or should I try something else?
Forty years ago, I could get the momentary speed up, no sweat.
If I increase timing from about 8 degrees, it will ping.

I'm working on a Concours Guidelines update about reflectors and would
appreciate some help.
I  have these 3 examples.

1. This type has a grooved rubber back allowing it to be inserted into a
hole in the plinth pressed into the rear shroud of earlier 6 cylinder cars.
2. This is a type that I don't know about.  It appears to require an outer
lens (probably the colical type) BUT it has a 10/32 thread sticking out the
back such as the later 100 type did.
3. This type has the same back side as #1 but the front looks to me to be
of the type fitted to the plinth on the later 100's.

I suspect that #s 2 and 3 are not Healey but am open to being corrected.

Mike,  rather than clarify, perhaps I can add to the confusion.  I attached a photo of the reflector on my BT7, (HBT7L445129).  As you can see it seems to be a hybrid of 1 and 2.  The reflector is slightly recessed from the chrome bezel like #2, but it has the same rubber backing without the threaded stud as #1.  I am positive these reflectors are original ? as you know I have owned the car almost 50 years and knew the previous owner years before I bought it from him.  The car was never restored or in an accident that would necessitate their replacement.

 

Cheers, Mirek

#3 looks very similar to the ones I acquired for my BN2. I got them from 
a former jet engine engineer for Pratt & Whitney who made a small batch 
as a retirement project, who claimed to have researched them thoroughly. 
He constructed them from spun brass with 'proper' chrome plating 
(copper->nickel->chrome). I have no idea where he acquired the lenses, 
but IIRC--and the Moss catalog shows--they were attached to the plinths 
with 10-32 screws. The rubber pads I got from David Nock at BCS who had 
a batch made since the "usual suspects'" offerings were not up-to-snuff.

Hi Michael,

I can confirm, No 2 and 3 are not Austin-Healey. You can find those often 
at autojumbles in England. As far as I know early 100/6s had amber 
reflectors and not red ones.

hole in the plinth pressed into the rear shroud of earlier 6 cylinder cars.
2. This is a type that I don't know about.  It appears to require an outer 
lens (probably the colical type) BUT it has a 10/32 thread sticking out the 
back such as the later 100 type did.
3. This type has the same back side as #1 but the front looks to me to be 
of the type fitted to the plinth on the later 100's.
 
I suspect that #s 2 and 3 are not Healey but am open to being corrected.

Yep, that's him. He did mention he had something to do with P&W, as we 
talked quite a bit about the legendary PT6 (powers most turboprop 
aircraft).

Michael,

Here is a picture of what I believe were the original reflectors on my BT7
with a build date of Nov 1960. They look like type 1 from your picture. On
the back is:

RER 25
LUCAS
ENGLAND

Hope this helps.

 Regarding the now-hard-to-find "Dagmars" rear reflectors, they were originally made in three colors: red, orange, and clear (I've seen all three original items on the cars). And while they really are a 100-6 item nearly exclusively, at least a few early 3000s (including my current Healey) had them. Some, like mine *built 12/59), also retained the 100-6 horn-button flash. And I wouldn't be surprised if a couple had the peaked bonnet and even a 100-6 grille flash, as the 3000 was originally meant simply as an improvement, not a brand-new model.?

Robert, your car is beautiful, simply beautiful!  Mike ? this may provide some indication of a change point of sorts.  My car has a build date of October 1959, very close to Robert?s, and my car also has the 100-6 horn button.  Alas, my car has the flat reflectors as I posted this morning, not the beautifully pointed Dagmars.  I wonder if there was a period of ?whatever was handy in the parts bin? in late ?59/early ?60 regarding reflectors?

I'm working on a Concours Guidelines update about reflectors and would appreciate some help. 

I  have these 3 examples. 

 

1. This type has a grooved rubber back allowing it to be inserted into a hole in the plinth pressed into the rear shroud of earlier 6 cylinder cars.

2. This is a type that I don't know about.  It appears to require an outer lens (probably the colical type) BUT it has a 10/32 thread sticking out the back such as the later 100 type did.

3. This type has the same back side as #1 but the front looks to me to be of the type fitted to the plinth on the later 100's.

 

I suspect that #s 2 and 3 are not Healey but am open to being corrected.

Michael,
On my early 1958 BN6, chassis #750 and they started at #500, I have the reflectors with the "Dagmar" pointed covers, from original. The pointed covers had changed colour over the years and were basically clear when I replaced them about 10 years ago. The reflectors themselves are red and the rubber backing is like the #1 in your illustration but the chromed ring is like #2 in your illustration. I can send you a photo if needed. I believed that the rubber pieces, reflectors and chromed rings (I had them rechromed when I restored my car in the late 1980's) are original although I have owned the car only since 1987.

Jean

Thanks for the kind words! I do know that regulations (I think in the?UK) prohibited covering the reflectors starting sometime in 1960. So they could have?used any leftover Dagmars up until then. In?some cases, according to Bill Piggott?s book on the Healey Sixes, dealers simply removed the bullet lens over the reflector, retaining the wider bezel.?

Robert, your car is beautiful, simply beautiful!? Mike ? this may provide some indication of a change point of sorts.? My car has a build date of October 1959, very close to Robert?s, and my car also has the 100-6 horn button.? Alas, my car has the flat reflectors as I posted this morning, not the beautifully pointed Dagmars.? I wonder if there was a period of ?whatever was handy in the parts bin? in late ?59/early ?60 regarding reflectors?

Regarding the now-hard-to-find "Dagmars" rear reflectors, they were originally made in three colors: red, orange, and clear (I've seen all three original items on the cars). And while they really are a 100-6 item nearly exclusively, at least a few early 3000s (including my current Healey) had them. Some, like mine *built 12/59), also retained the 100-6 horn-button flash. And I wouldn't be surprised if a couple had the peaked bonnet and even a 100-6 grille flash, as the 3000 was originally meant simply as an improvement, not a brand-new model.?

I'm working on a Concours Guidelines update about reflectors and would appreciate some help. 

I? have these 3 examples.?

?

1. This type has a grooved rubber back allowing it to be inserted into a hole in the plinth pressed into the rear shroud of earlier 6 cylinder cars.

2. This is a type that I don't know about.? It appears to require an outer lens (probably the colical type) BUT it has a 10/32 thread sticking out the back such as the later 100 type did.

3. This type has the same back side as #1 but the front looks to me to be of the type fitted to the plinth on the later 100's.

?

I suspect that #s 2 and 3 are not Healey but am open to being corrected.

Michael,

I have owned no less than four [4] of the RER5 reflectors for BN1/2s, two
in red and two in orange, ALL NOS in box* [RER 5, 57-052]*.

My BN1 [b7197 11 Jan. '55] came with orange reflectors and it now has an
NOS pair installed. Many of the low mile BN1s [cars with <20K miles] within
200 body numbers either side of my car had orange reflectors.

Both the red and the orange reflectors faded severely with time. See the
photo of my restored faded reflectors. All of the NOS reflectors I've owned
came with a slotted, oval head, sheet metal screw which I changed out to a
proper 10-32 pan head, Phillips screw for mounting on the pods.

Reflectors were introduced on BN1s at... *Body no. 6128 (c221310) Sep ?54 -
Rear reflectors on pods fitted (NY Auto Show Car).*

Richard Gordon's  very original. [10K orig mile] Concours Gold BN1 built 18
Feb. '55 came with one red and one orange reflector.

Cheers,

Curt

Thanks Roger. BTW, a gorgeous Primrose yellow BN6 you restored some years ago is for sale at Gullwing Motors, based in Queens NY. It?s a rare disc-wheel, non-OD car that still looks great. It is also shown in Bill Piggott?s book on the six-cylinder Healeys. And at under $50k, the price seems quite reasonable for such a nice and rare example.

Attached are the original reflectors on my BN1L 223867 built 15-Juoly-55 --? the red car..

 ?

The Chassis number is way out of synch with others in this range that were built in Jan-Feb 55.? However, the Body Number of 9820 is right in the middle of other BN1 body numbers built in July 1955.

 ?

This oddity of chassis number (which was assigned to match the Engine number when the engine was put into the body on the assembly line) is but one of many that I have found from the records I?ve been gathering for decades.

 ?

Also attached is the reflector on BN1L 224035 build 18-Feb-55.l? This is a car that has only around 45,000 miles on the clock.

All mailings stopped again. No messages from the 24th of February onwards.
Reason unknown. Strange!
This happens frequently, and then all of a sudden messages messages 
start coming in again. Could be a few years in between.

WHY??

I?m in the midst of replacing the rear wheel bearings, seals, etc. The backing plates are now blasted and the paint is curing. Shocks, links, hand brake cable and fittings were done last year, but it didn?t have time to get to the radius arms.
Anyone have a tried and true procedure to get these out? Disconnect the prop shaft, brake line tee fitting, handbrake fittings and then support the axle housing and lower the springs enough to rotate the housing rearward?
Thanks,

What you describe is the easy bit. As Tom said getting the bolts out
without damaging other parts can be very tough.

Further to my earlier comment, perhaps you should examine your motives for
replacing the radius arm bushes. Is it necessary?
The original bushes are very robust and were made by Metalastic which I
believe was a division of Dunlop. Unless they are abused in some way they
seem to last forever.

Mike, I think I understand the measurement you want ? see the photo to confirm.   I get the odd size of 1.366?.  I cleaned the inside of the tube so I think that is a good measurement.  That diameter only continues for about 1.5? up the tube,  then the tube diameter increases; I can just feel the change with my finger.

 

Give me a call if you want to walk me through anything.  519 841 0676.

I replaced the two front bolts last year, tapped out easily. I tapped out the left rear bolt this morning, cleaned it up, anti-seized it and put it back in. The right rear is stuck hard. I think I?ll leave it for now. 
I see you have the hub bore diameter. Mirek is quick!
Thanks,
Dan

I have a 67. BJ-8 that I installed a DW 2? headers into his muffler into his two tail pipes. When I jack up the rear by the frame the rear axle hangs down and hits the exhaust system. The pipes don?t bend around the leaf spring brackets .like a stock exhaust system pipes ,so I have to jack up the rear by the axle. My question is there supposed to be an axle strap attached to the frame to keep the axle from hanging too low , not hitting the exhaust system?  I?m thinking I can?t be the only BJ-8 with a DW exhaust system. As always thanks in advance.

I have to replace the pistons on my BJ8 that is being rebuilt.
Wondering if others have any suggestions about the merits of forged pistons
vs regular cast ones.

Wossner from AH spares
or
Omega from Denis Welch.

Both are 3 ring vs 5 ring for the cast ones, and more that 2x price of
regular cast ones.
So my question is are they worth the significant extra $. Apart from
increased strength what are the benefits ? Less friction and less heat ?
Anyone with experience using them. Maybe better to spend on other upgrades.
Comments appreciated.

I put five ring pistons on my BJ8 20 years ago and despite common
misconceptions about too many rings, for my regular use BJ8 I have not seen
any erosion in oil use or compression after over 80k miles.

However from a different perspective  ... the biggest engine blow up, in
face the only major one, was as a result of J & E piston failure.

Just saying.

I went to the NAPA store today to get a V-belt and was sold a smooth belt
with an FH (Fractional Horsepower) designation.
The packaging said it was for lawn and household applications of less than
1 HP.
I asked the sales clerk if an FH belt was suitable for automotive use and
was told "Yes".
Now I see that Google AI says no--that such a belt is [i]not[/i] suitable
for cars.
Who is right--AI or NAPA and if not FH which designation is correct?

Michael,

If the belt states it "Meets or exceeds SAE J636" then it is suitable for
automotive use.

Michael, if the intelligence is artificial, why use it at all ? for anything!  I?d be inclined to rely on sales sources that specialize in British sports cars, especially Healeys, they know what works, or the wisdom of the List.

Mirek--

You recommended that I rely upon the wisdom of the List--which is what I am
doing.
Say what you may about AI but it certainly seems to know more about the
correct belt for automotive application than did the staff at the NAPA
store.
BTW all of the pulleys on my car have been converted to receive a narrow
belt so I am really seeking general belt knowledge not specific to Healeys.

According to what I now find online it looks like an "A" Classical Heavy
Duty" belt in 24" diameter is what I should get as its cross section
dimensions match those of the 4L belt I was sold.
See the chart.

Michael,  as I recall you are running an alternator on your 100. Has the
original 100 generator pulley been fitted to the alternator, as the
original alternator pulley would definitely require a totally different
belt than would be correct for the 100 pulleys?

Michael,

I want to save you from falling down the fan belt rabbit hole. A couple of
years ago I wrote the attached article for our club magazine. It should
help to give you a clear path forward.

Hi Michael--

The pulley on my alternator is two-piece which allowed me to shim it with a
1/4" or so washer and use an original 3/4" wide 100 belt.
Last year I added a harmonic damper and narrow pulleys both for the crank
and water pump and removed the shim on the alternator pulley so that
everything now accepts a 1/2" belt.

Hope that clarifies things.

Best--Michael Oritt

Harold--

The takeaway from the article is:

*"The ideal v-belt for a Healey would have these features:  **Specified for
automotive use"*

Obviously, despite the NAPA counter person's opinion, the belt I was sold
is simply wrong, and it will be returned tomorrow.

Thank you--Michael Oritt

Hank et al,

I am not familiar with the pulleys on the BN1 and BN2 other than I have
been told they are wider than both the 3/8" and 1/2" pulleys on the later
Healeys. If someone out there has a pulley from a 100 and can measure the
Effective Groove Width (the width at the top of the pulley) and the groove
angle (it should be close to 34 deg.) I can determine the right series of
belt. Length is more difficult.

I will use my 45 year old SAE manuals as opposed to AI.

Harold

Hank,

We may be going down that rabbit hole I mentioned before. Based on the
picture you sent it looks like BN1 and BN2 pulley is for an SAE 7/8 or 28
series (7/8 x 32) series belt. The dimensions of the pulley for the 7/8
belt are:
Effective Groove Width - 0.785"
Groove Angle 34 deg
Groove Depth Min. - 0.709"
Rideout - 0.090" +/- 0.045"

Google "28445 Automotive cogged Belt" and you should see something close.
Since you have a loose pulley may I suggest a trip to a good auto supply
store and see how a 28 series belt fits the pulley you have.

I looked at the belt on the AH Spares website. I will suggest that given
the size of the belt a cogged belt is a better option to more easily turn
around the pulleys. The markings on the AHS belt are a bit of a red herring.

Hope this helps,
Harold

The 7th European Healey Meeting is June 14-20, 2027 in the Netherlands.  I
know this conflicts with the International Healey Meet in Lake Tahoe, but
touring in Europe is a different experience.  I've signed up so if others
are interested let me know and we might coordinate shipping.

Michael,

 

I want to save you from falling down the fan belt rabbit hole. A couple of years ago I wrote the attached article for our club magazine. It should  help to give you a clear path forward.

Michael,  as I recall you are running an alternator on your 100. Has the original 100 generator pulley been fitted to the alternator, as the original alternator pulley would definitely require a totally different belt than would be correct for the 100 pulleys?

Now I see that Google AI says no--that such a belt is [i]not[/i] suitable for cars.  
Who is right--AI or NAPA and if not FH which designation is correct?

*I have watched this thread with a bit of amusement, hence I offer the 
following,?Blown Water Pump Belt Fiasco, for interest only.*

*
*

*_Blown Water Pump Belt Fiasco !_*

*
*

*Heading home from the stockcar races in up state New York, late one 
afternoon, in the 1960's, in my 54-100-4, Healey. I turned on to a 
lesser traveled road with an immediate steep uphill. Halfway up, steam 
billows from the front so I pull*

*over. I had blown a fan belt and overheated. I coast backwards fast 
enough to turn around and*

*then continue to coast down the hill to a gas station at the 
intersection. My girlfriend, now my wife, is*

*somewhat frantic at this point.*

*
*

*The attendant who sees my Healey and laughs heartily, doubts very much 
that he has anything*

*that will work. But I can look. After pawing thought about 50 or so 
belts on the rack and in the back*

*corner. I find a couple maybes. I fit them up and select one, borrow 
tools, a couple of adjustable wrenches, get it installed, and*

*add water, start the old girl up and all seems fine. *

*
*

*I Ask about cost, he smiles, says 5 bucks ought to cover it. I gladly 
forked over the 5 bucks and*

*head for home. The belt was for some diesel tractor-trailer accessory. 
Who knows what you*

*might find in a dusty corner of some old service station.*

*
*

*As a point of interest, I continued to use that belt for at least a 
year after this incident.
*

*
*

*My girlfriend was convinced we were stranded for good and needed to be 
towed home. Not*

*today though, even if I needed to use her pantyhose for a belt. I never 
mentioned that trick to her.*

*
*

*Memories from bygone days, Blown Engine, Burnt Wiring, Blown Rear End, 
Snapped Rear*

*Spindle, No Side Curtains and so on.*

Someone was asking what the situation was for the 100-4. I researched this recently and certainly in the UK it's like this:-
- Original pulleys are built for a 3/4" belt. 3/4" = 19mm. Not now available.
- 'B' sized belts are 17mm wide.
- 'C' sized belts are 22nm wide.
Both currently available belts have slightly the wrong V angle on them.
What I've found is that the C belt is way to wide and stiff. The B belt, whilst sitting a bit low in rhe pulley, actually works fine in practice. The last one I took off had done 20 years.
