<html><body>The Piggott book I have is 2012 edition. Here are the scanned photos of AHX11 engine and choke fixing. Yes, as you say there are many differences between them and the production as Bill noted here that top of the carb suction plunger is round rather than hex. (at least you can't wrench it too tight)<div><br></div><div>I do believe the choke fixing is as was done on the early production cars. Using the short eye, so that it can fit between the fuel pipe and the bracket, it could assemble as shown here and in your photo. I did not have the short eye item...maybe you have a spare to correct my car (built 10-53)? The one shown on Perry's car uses the longer eye with a v-shaped pinch washer.(later config.) </div><div><br></div><div>My notes say that AHX11, built 4-1-53, the Turin Show car, restored, was auctioned in 2004 and appears on Healey Data.com, currently located in Derby, UK</div><div><br></div><div>Regards, Hank<br><br><div class="reply-new-signature"></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Michael Salter" <michaelsalter@gmail.com><br>To: "Hank Leach"<br>Cc: "healeys@autox.team.net"<br>Sent: Sunday November 29 2020 11:21:47AM<br>Subject: Re: FW: Re: [Healeys] BN1 Choke Cable<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hank, you must have a totally different edition of Piggott's book to the one I have. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Mine shows a poor picture of the choke abutment on pg 38 but there is not enough detail to really figure out what it is.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I would caution against using pictures of the pre-production cars for accurate information on production cars as there were many many differences.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">I have worked extensively on AHX12 and AHX14 and learned a lot about these differences.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">The pic I sent:</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small"><div><img src="/index.php/inbox/attachment/filenameOriginal/image.png/filenamefs/INBOX43380d2b5ca33bd970f64a6301fa75ae2eb22" alt="image.png" width="436" height="321"></div><div>Although Rich Chrysler did have the engine out of this car and the pic is not very clear is definitely of the type that I have seen on many original cars, particularly earlier ones. <br></div><div><br></div><div>M<br></div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Sun, Nov 29, 2020 at 2:00 PM <<a href="mailto:gradea1@charter.net">gradea1@charter.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>If you look in the book "Austin-Healey 100 in Detail" by Piggott on pg. 50 is a good photo of the actual correct fitting as used on AHX11 (a Warwick car).<div><br></div><div>Note that, unlike the photo I sent you of my incorrect fitting, the correct hardware is a stubby eye which goes thru the backside of the bracket...being stubby it does not interfere with the fuel pipe and then it is attached using a loctal nut and thick washer on the outside. </div><div><br></div><div>If this was in fact carried thru into production, it would be the preferable connection to use.

As you experienced, not having a solid description, I winged the fitting a few times. Here are pictures of the first tries. The clamp that squeezes on the outer cable was in the wrong place. <div><br></div><div>Both the one I sent, and the photo from Michael, go thru the bracket in the correct direction and put the cable in the proper location, vertically over the choke levers. The cable passes thru the eye on the backside of the bracket. The clamp pinches the cable just enough to hold it fixed while the inner cable can move.</div><div><br></div><div>The actual nut and washer differed on early to later cars. I think the later cars used a loctal nut and the earlier used a thin BSF nut and spring washer. You might check this description with Michael as well.</div><div><div><br></div><div>Regards, Hank<br><br><div></div><p>-----------------------------------------</p>From: "Charles Schott" <u></u><br>To: <a href="mailto:gradea1@charter.net" target="_blank">gradea1@charter.net</a><br>Cc: <br>Sent: Sunday November 29 2020 8:57:14AM<br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] BN1 Choke Cable<br><br><div style="font-family:times new roman,new york,times,serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><div>Thanks for the picture.
