[Healeys] Top Trunnion Kit

[john harper]

Simon

I fitted these some time ago; it seemed to make the steering a little
lighter.

The drawback was that on the original setup, the lift could be adjusted by
choosing the correct spacer washer. To make this match the recommendation,
I had to file down the top of the swivel axle.

The 'official' recommendation for lift is two thou with the top nut
tight. I would not recommend leaving the top nut loose so as to get the two
thou lift

There needs to be a better way of adjusting the swivel axle lift

All the best.
