Price, I?m promoting the Austin Healey 2017 Concours Guidelines today!  ?

See if this helps:


  1.  Windshield Washer Bottle
100
? Had no windshield washer as standard fitting though it was available as an 
accessory on late BN1s and all BN2s.
100 Six, 3000

     *   Location: through the BJ7, the windshield washer bottle is mounted 
into the package tray inside the interior. These bottles and mountings are 
described in the interior section.
On BJ8s, with the revision of the interior to incorporate the walnut fascia and 
glove box, the bottle holding windshield washer liquid was moved to the engine 
compartment. On these cars, the bottle is made of white plastic with a plastic 
screw top.

     *   Bottle:
Longbridge BN4's used a Trafalgar glass bottle (17H579) (see Photos ? Figure 
III-8 a- d); a Tudor plastic bottle (37H9798) was introduced at Abingdon 
sometime prior to BN4 C. 68960 (this would have been before BN4 production was 
temporarily halted in spring1958). The Glass bottle (17H579) was also used on 
early BN6s up through C. 1182 (built in May ?58, according to Clausager). The 
BN4 Service Parts List shows another 1 1?2? neck diameter container (37H9763) 
followed by a 2 3/16? diameter neck one (37H9729) introduced when BN4 
production resumed at C. 68960 (in Sept. 1958). This same wide-mouth bottle 
(37H9729) is also listed in the BN6 Service Parts List as being introduced at 
BN6/1183, which would have been built well before BN4 C. 68960, so it is not 
clear exactly what the differences between the first two plastic BN4 bottles 
was, and when they were used.
25 On original BJ7s a metal squirrel cage has been found. On BJ8s, in 1964 and 
also later, white plastic squirrel cages have been found.
                                A plastic bottle was used on non-BN4 six 
cylinder cars.

                3000?s
                On Phase I BJ8s the bottle is plain, with no logo/markings, and 
sits in a metal support frame painted black. Cast into the bottom of the        
             plastic bottle is the location of the ?Tudor? company and other 
information.
                On Phase II BJ8s there is a large trademark screened onto the 
side of the bottle, consisting of the word "Tudor" reversed out in white on a   
                          distinctive bright blue background. (The Tudor 
trademark on these bottles definitely was not a separate decal.) The screened 
logo color      may vary a bit between cars as a result of aging. On Phase II 
cars, the metal frame is a slightly different shape and is painted a shade of   
                blue which was a bit lighter than the Tudor trademark. There 
also was an evolution of bottle cap and outlet shapes (see Figure III-7a-e     
for examples and detailed descriptions).
The 2017 Concours Guidelines are an incredible series of documents detailing 
how Big Healeys (and Sprites - separate document) were originally put together. 
 if you contact Mike Osipik (below) he will give you a couple options on 
receiving a copy of the Guidelines package. He can download it through DropBox 
(immediately available to you) or he can send you a CD. DropBox is very easy.

What is the proper color for the washer reservoir bracket on a 67 BJ8?  How 
many ?Tudor? labels are attached to the reservoir?  Is there a specific height 
on the reservoir?

Many thanks!

Price Lindsay
67 BJ8
