<html><body><div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000"><div>Michael,<br></div><div><br></div><div>Please recheck your source for the information that you have provided. Clausager in Original Austin-Healey cites the change point to the center change gearbox as E/2246, BT7/15881, and BN7/16039 in Nov. 1961. My Service Parts List for BN7 and BT7 shows the change point as 29E-H2246. And my car HBT7L/16323 with engine number 29E RU H/2760 indeed has a center change gearbox. I can check the number on the gearbox to see if it is the same as on my Heritage Certificate, but I'm pretty convinced that it should have a center shift and not a side shift gearbox. I know that the engine number matches the Heritage Cert. I also checked the Anderson/Moment Restoration Guide and they agree with Clausager. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The start of the Mark II is correct at C.13751, E.29E/101.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thanks.<br></div><div><br></div><div>Charlie Baldwin<br></div><div><br></div><hr id="zwchr"><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><b>From: </b>"Michael Salter" <michaelsalter@gmail.com><br><b>To: </b>"Al Malin" <amalin@mac.com><br><b>Cc: </b>"Ahealey help" <healeys@autox.team.net>, "i erbs" <eyera3000@gmail.com><br><b>Sent: </b>Sunday, January 24, 2016 2:10:55 PM<br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Healeys] side shift tri carb<br><div><br></div><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Yes,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">MkII started at C.13751 (Mar 61) and the top shift box started at BT7 17129 and BN7 17547 (Jan 62)<br><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Michael S<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">BN1 #174<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Jan 24, 2016 at 2:07 PM, Al Malin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:amalin@mac.com" target="_blank">amalin@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Yes, in the spring of 1962 I bought a Tricarb with a side shift.<br>
