Ron Soave and I were looking at three tach reduction gears I have in my parts boxes. We began wondering if the same gear that is found on the Frogeye Sprites was also used on any other English cars o

My guess on different tach reduction numbers....(pure guess) might indicate their compatibility (or lack of it) in terms of indicating accuracy with similiar but differently numbered tachometers, in

OK, in hot pursuit of this piece of esoterica, I looked at all of my parts manuals, and the one numbered 4302/00 was not illustrated in the Mk I parts book (AKD 829). The parts book for Mark II (AKD

I was sure Horlers listed a break-point for the tach drives. The Bugeye tach drive had the hex nut, it was only a short time period that the knurled fastener/banded construction was used, and of cou

But the parts book shows it had a mechanical tach reduction gear, and a brass nut at that. Personally, I think Donald Healey was jerking us around. Buster Evans

It seems that the 948 cars had the mechanical tachs and the 1098 cars were electric based on the numerous cars that I have owned. Kent 1960 Bugeye 1975 Midget - some day auto-x-er ...and of course th

Not us Buster, you should see what he did with the big Healey! Geoffrey at least did a little thinking when he designed the Sprite. Or at least learned from his old man's mistakes. -- Frank Clarici T

Then why does my NOS Smiths gear reduction drive, in the original box, have a date of 1 July 1971 on it? Is this a retro copy of an earlier version? From the many Bugeyes I have owned and seen come t

That is what I have noticed too. And I did have a very early 58 Sprite, unmolested but neglected, and it had a knurled nut. Now Horler's book is quite good but it is not perfect. There is a photo of

It might be interesting if we took a survey according to whether a member has an "old" or "new" Sprite. Mine, for example: VIN 5L/762 (built 4-22-58) Knurled VIN 5L/26893 (built 11-9-59) Hex Buster E
