Hello all, Would someone tell me what kind of wood is used in the interior; eg., back panel structure, fold down panels, and the convertible side and top rail pieces of a BJ8? I would guess cedar, ma

I think mahogany was used almost exclusively in major production British cars, with teak only in low production cars. BJ8 backrest is marine plywood. -- Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '59 Jag Mk IX '64 BJ8 ___

Wooden automotive frames are usually made from ash. After construction treat the wood to prevent woodworm and rot. Kees Oudesluijs NL wwscpo@aol.com schreef: _________________________________________

I agree with Kees. All the wood-framed cars I have seen from the UK used ash. This would likely be the European ash, (Fraxinus excelsior), not any of the several North American ashes. That said, when

Great, I agree, wood frame cars are constructed of ash. So buy a Morgan and join the Morgan list ;-) Healeys *are not* wooden frame cars and as such what wood in them can be Oak, Mahogany, plywood (

Curt is correct. And I suggest that it may be time to ask those who know. Why not check out Austin Healey Wood which is located in Oxford Massachusetts USA 508-987-7301 or http://www.austinhealeywood

According to their web site, the AH BJ8 dash is made from Black Walnut Burl. Other woods used are ash, beech, walnut and cherry. I would assume (dangerous) that it is ash that is used for the hidden

Whoops! Being a BT7 owner, I forgot about that later dash - of course that is walnut. No substitutions there! So far, I think the only one of us who has been absolutely 100% correct was Norm. Mirek _
