At that time I had a box of used angle drives, probably 20-25, maybe more and not one was usable. Either the cover plate was missing, the gears were chewed up or some other self destruction issue. There were a lot of the units that were totally dry inside. Even had on that looked like it had melted. I never figured that one out.</p><p class=MsoNormal>The best of the bits were gathered up and the rest were tossed. As it turned out there was lots of room in the shipping containers and those little parts would have fit easily. Still shipped 19,000 pounds of parts including a hundred shock cores and other seemingly eternal Austin Healey parts like brake drums, a monumental amount of brake shoes and many suspension bits, but that is a different story. </p><p class=MsoNormal>Perhaps at what ever interval the gearbox/OD cover is removed for any maintenance that it would be a good idea to squeeze a little bit of grease into the unit. I guess it would be good to lube your speedo cable at the same time. Don’t overdo it as too much grease will produce a negative outcome. <span style='font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji",sans-serif'>😊</span></p><p class=MsoNormal>P</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows 10</p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div style='mso-element:para-border-div;border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal style='border:none;padding:0in'><b>From: </b><a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">Max Byers via Healeys</a><br><b>Sent: </b>Wednesday, July 22, 2020 2:15 PM<br><b>To: </b><a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><b>Subject: </b>Re: [Healeys] Angle drive screw</p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Since the location of the screw on the angle drives for BJ7s and BJ8s makes it quite an operation to use it for lubrication purposes, I conclude that the screw is just there for when the same drive is used on other vehicles with better access.
