E-type and the BJ8. The purpose of the structural mod to the firewall is to
stiffen it to increase its natural vibration frequency. I did that mod and noticed
the difference, but it didn’t remove all of the shake. Allen Hendrix did his
magic by balancing and truing the wheels and shaving the tires. It removed
almost all of the shake, and balancing the drums did the rest. I consider
myself lucky to live close enough to Allen that I can take the car to him when
necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

have no scuttle shake on my 66 E-Type OTS and it is smooth as silk at all
speeds. Why would a Healey or any car be any different? If this was a function
of the tires, would'nt we see tires being shaved on many different cars? I have
this strange suspicion it is unique to the Healey.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
