Speaking of lifts,=C2=A0 I would love it if someone would make a diagram of=
the Healey=E2=80=99s frame ( for the 100 and 3000 ) with proper jacking an=
d lift locations.
It would be great to keep a copy in the car in case you ever have to have s=
omeone in a shop that doesn=E2=80=99t know Healeys try lift it.
I had one incident where an unknowing attendant used the fender seams as hi=
s lifting point. Bugger .
