I bought a thin open ended wrench off of ebay and did some filing.? Took 
the switch off easily.

So the next question - what's the thread size?? Looks to be 5/8"-13 - 55 
degrees.? Anyone know for sure?

Cheers,

What is your collective wisdom in using John Deer Cornhead grease NLGI 0 in
a Healey steering box? I had been using Penrite steering box oil, but the
usual places seem to be out of it.

I used it for some years with good results. While it's technically an oil
it's thick like grease, so warming it up before injection into the steering
box helps.

For best results you might want to get the old stuff out, but likely not
strictly necessary.

Hello,

I use Castrol SHL #00 grease, which is available at NAPA. The advantage of
Castrol SHL is that it comes in a tube that fits into a standard caulking
gun.

Since this grease doesn't flow or level well in the steering box, I attach
a hose to the end of the grease tube and push it down as far into the box
as possible. Once the grease begins to emerge from the top, you know the
steering box is full.

Best regards,
Harold

HI Team: I'm going to replace my generator in my BJ8. Is it the same
generator as in the 100-6? ARe there different sizes or models? I think
there is only one, but just checking. Racing this weekend at Lime Rock
(in a different Healey), if anyone is in the area.

Thanks

Jon,

The BJ8 generator (C42) is smaller than the one fitted to the earlier 6 
cylinders (C45).? The number gives the outside diameter - C45 is 4.5" in 
diameter.

Cheers,

Yes, Corn head grease is really the ideal solution - it liquefies on the
contact surfaces but stays solid in the rest of the box.  In effect it is
self sealing but still provides high quality liquid lubricaton on the high
pressure contact area

That's because lucas never used UNF  - it will be a BA (for small stuff) or
Whitworth spanner size.  This size corresponds to an 11/16" Whitworth
Spanner.

Jon, any reason to not just take the existing generator to a rebuild shop
and have it either IRAN'd or completely rebuilt?

Alan,

It's not listed on many Whitworth charts.? 11/16 W is 1.200" AF. 1-5/32" 
is 1.156".? 0.044" difference.? Seems a bit sloppy, but not a lot of 
torque required.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Well, the factory generator lasted 50+ years. Hopefully a good rebuild will
set it up for another 50!
