[Healeys] Frame torsional rigidity - was: Working on door gaps

[glemon at neb.rr.com (Greg Lemon)]

>From seat of the pants feel the Healey frame/structure is stiffer than a 
TR2-3, but less rigid than an MGA.  The 100 was pretty good for its day, as 
I believe Geofrey Healey noted in one of the Healey books the whole thing 
was weakened/compromised by adding the length and weight for the 6 cylinder 
motor.

The Healey was good to maybe even ahead of its time for its design time in 
the early fifties, but auto technology grew by leaps and bounds from the 
early fiftes to the mid sixties, and the 3000 was certainly not state of the 
art in its final days.
