Doug:
I'm looking at my Smitty instruction book. The 4 cyl. Healey uses a '62 -
'72 Nissan pickup hydraulic clutch master cyl. that mounts to an existing
frme stud in place of the Healey's original mechanical clutch linkage. A
hydraulic line is then run to a 6 cyl. clutc slave.
Other than that, the installation is much the same as for the 6 cyl cars,
including the trans cover modification for the side-shift cars. I have
converted my BJ8 and like it very much - although it really came into it's
own when I installed a 3:545 diff.
If it will help you, I can fax you the Smitty instruction book, which will
probably make things clearer for you. My book is quite old, and I don't
know if it has been updated since I did the job ( about 8 -9 years ago), but
it should give you the information that you need.
Let me know.

Subject: [Healeys] BN1 or BN2 Transmission Conversion
Good Morning List- I know there are many of you who have converted their
stock transmissions to a Toyota, but most of the folks who have done this
are you guys who have 100-6 or later cars. I was hoping that if there are
some of you who have done this to a BN2, that you will respond with the
steps you had to take to get this completed.
My main concern is the mechanical clutch linkage and how it has to work with
the Toyota tranny; were you able to use it or did you have to use some sort
of a Clutch Slave Cylinder to make things work?
Any other info would be greatly appreciated because I am at the stage where
I need to make a decision one way or the other if I am going to make this
alteration to my car.
