Chris,
The right side of the car is always when sitting in the car looking forward.
The brake bleeding issue is again dealt with from the pint furthest away
from the 4 way pipe junction, and that doesn't matter whether the car is
right or left hand drive.
The interference between an HD8 air filter is more correctly described as
being with the diagonal brace on the left side of the engine bay which has a
relief pressed into it. On left hand drive cars, the master cylinders and
pedal assembly are mounted up into this area. Hence probably the confusion
in terminology. I am enclosing a picture to Chris of the relief area on the
diagonal strut I'm describing. I am also including a picture of the 4 way
junction always mounted on the inner right front area of the engine bay.
>From that point, the furthest distance , therefore the bleed screw to begin
bleeding is the rear left.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] re-bleeding brakes
I always get confused with this "right" "left" thing on Healeys on an
international email list.
My Healey is right hand drive. So when I sit in my Healey, my
passenger is on my left, from my perspective.
So if people say "right" or "left" is that from the perspective of
sitting in the car, or from standing in front of it???
At least "near side" (nearest to kerb) and "off side" give a
perspective of the view!
All the lines (fuel, brake) run down the same side on the chassis on
my RHD Healey. That would be my drivers side. Or the off side. Or the
left hand side facing my car when standing in front of it.
Perspective.
No matter which direction I face, my right hand is never confused with
my left....
So that would be the right Hand side, standing at the front, looking
at the car, David????
I'm not being a smartarse.
My Healeys have always been RHD. As sold from the factory.
And I never knew a pedal box could interfere with a HD8!!
sincerely.
Chris.
