You can do it with the hub still on the axle, but you may have to pull the hub forward to have enough room to get the old stud (hammer) out and put the new one in between the hub and backplate (with a load of washers as Michael suggested).Theres a picture on my website of a stud being reinstalled: http://www.austin-healey3000.com/apps/photos/photo.jsp?photoID=5132641 cheers andy Get fish-slapping on Messenger!

The upper Armacord panel carries out to a raw edge. They weren't worried about gaining access to the boot lid hinge bolts once the Armacord was installed. Covering those access holes helps to seal off the boot area from the interior. The upper edge of the rear Armacord on a BJ8 will (usually) fall just under the rear hoop edge, and come out around the two harness clips. I don't usually apply a lot of glue to this piece in case I need to get to wiring, etc. I just apply enough down into the curve of the shroud to keep this piece in place. Notches are usually required to clear the gas tank hold down straps and the middle strut. Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: Charlie Frazer To: richchrysler@quickclic.net Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 4:41 PM Subject: Boot Armacord Rich, Would you be willing to help me out with a few questions about installing the Armacord in the boot of a BJ8? I'm concerned about the large more-or-less rectangular piece of Armacord that covers the vertical panel of the boot that separates the boot from the cockpit. If you look carefully at the picture of the blue car attached you'll see that the top edge of the Armacord is bound and comes right to the edge of top of the boot on the surface parallel to the ground. I know that this car is restored rather than original, but it is a very well done restoration. In my Heritage kit, the top edge of that piece is not bound and installing it as was done on the blue car would expose an unattractive jute edge along the top of the boot. It would also cover the holes that allow access to the boot lid hinge bolts. The holes are shown in the attached picture of my green car. This makes me wonder if the upper Armacord edge should actually be where the panel with the bolt access holes bends downward at 45 degrees or so (the section with the obvious spot welds in the picture). That would make the raw edge less obvious and leave access to the hinge bolts. I have the same question about the location of the upper edge of the rear-most Armacord piece that runs horizontally across the car. In my kit the upper edge and sides are bound, and the bottom edge tucks under the gas tank. Does upper the edge fall behind the lip of the boot lid, or somewhere below it? Thanks, Rich. I really appreciate any advice you have to offer on these details.

He arrived and supervised the installation while I could only smile sitting in my wheelchair.

I stopped the car when I heard a thumping coming from my rear axel. I looked at the drivers side rear tire and it seamed loose then I reached around and came out with a hand full of gear oil. I have disassembled the drivers side and found the thin paper gasket that was holding the oil in was bad in about a 2 space the rest of it was still intact .This car has been sitting a long time could the gasket have gone bad in this one spot from just sitting?? Also one of the screws holding the break drum in was broken and the screw that was holding the axel in was striped or at least aperies to be striped on the very end but the last < or this screw still had sufficient threads to hold. Sorry for the long beginning I have a couple of? Instead of using that paper gasket could I use a silicone sealer of some sort? And how much further should I check the rear end out .This was the same axel that was installed when I bought it brakes and the entire previous owner said it had been rebuilt so all I did was check the fluid and adjust the brakes. The other side still seems fine?? All help and suggestions would be appreciated as always this list has been a huge help.

Just buy a set of disks from them. The spacing is slightly off with this disc also but with 1/8" spacer on the inside it will bring the track right in line original spec. www.cape-international.com They also sell the hand brake rods, which are custom for the Jag rear brake caliper. I think the mounts are identical to the DW kit, so Cape's rods should be very helpful. I have the cape kit on my BJ8, love it.

DO NOT, I repeat , DO NOT use silicone sealer in lieu of the paper gasket. If you have your paper gasket (get the proper one from a healey supplier, don't make your own - they are made to a precise thickness) and the O ring replaced (also replace the Hub oil seals), I can promise you you will not have any leakage at all provided your lug bolts on the spline hub are kept tight. My BJ8 hasn't leaked oil out of the diff in 15 years since I fixed it. Basically what I am saying is fix the job right, like it was from the factory, and you won't have any problems here. Trying to outsmart the factory design for the rear hubs is pointless, and more than likely will work against you. The thing is bullet proof, you just have to maintain your car properly.

If you have your paper gasket (get the proper one from a >healey supplier, don't make your own - they are made to a precise >thickness) and the O ring replaced (also replace the Hub oil seals), I realise that I have slightly changed the subject but I always use a ring of silicone sealer as well as the original gasket on early BN1 rear hubs. These are the same as your Atlantic and do not use an 'O' ring. These early versions on Austin hubs were a bad design and if you read the workshop manual it says "It is essential that the face of the outer hub protrudes .001" to .004" beyond the face of the hub plus paper washer.......". This means that the paper washer is never compressed so oil can seep past it. This problem was recognised on the A30/A35 hubs where they gave this reason for a modification to include an 'O' ring. It might be possible to modify these early hubs to allow for an 'O' ring but I find that a carefully closed ring of silicone sealer always works for me. By the way the same applies to early 5 stud hubs that do not use an 'O' ring I agree an 'O' ring in good condition is all that is required.

They have the speed to at least keep up with the other traffic on the highways, they have the stopping ability too. Those factors allow the owner to use the car with reasonable confidence. I think that's a major factor that has certainly caused prewar cars like Ford Model A's and even the postwar T series MG's to slide somewhat in the market place. They simply can't keep up with the highway traffic, nor can they get stopped in a panic situation if need be. The AHCA's Future 50 programme is cartainly a start, and you have to start somewhere. However, thus far it's primarily aimed at the kids under 12 that are accompanying their parents to the AHCA Conclave each year. If these kids see the Healey as a cool, desireable item, maybe when the time comes, and it's up to them, they'll want to keep the car in the family. It's a simple economic fact that the big Healey is generally far out of financial reach for most younger people under 30 unless they inherit the car. That's where the basic desireability cuts in. Does he/she want to keep it, or do they simply see $$$$ sitting there that can be used for something else.

I think that you are on the right track. If your car is using an alternator things may be a little different but it seems to me that the heavy brown wire which runs from the starter solenoid to the regulator is your problem. This wire carries all the power to the car. I would suggest that you use a good quality test light and check to see if there is power on both ends of that wire. The most likely culprit is the connection on the regulator. It may be just a case of tightening the little grub screw a 1/4 turn I think there is an eyelet connector on the solenoid end of the wire on your car and these are pretty reliable.

The rotors are not a problem as there are a variety of import as well as domestic rotors which can be used. You first need a good reference such as AIMCO parts book -which has mounting requirements, hat depth, hub opening, it is cross references between makes; and several good wrecking yards for test samples. I have been do this for a BN1 potential conversion, surprisingly the Saturn rotors are a good source for the rear. As to the calipers for the BJ8 they can be XJ6 and XJS; and I believe looking at the E-type parts manual -those calipers may also work. As to the article I wrote it was based on what I received with the inherent over sight by Cape of not looking at the late BJ8's bounce tower and assuming "one size" fits all. In addition, the sloppy packing resulted several items omitted to which they refused to supply when approached about the absence pieces. In looking at conversions for BN1 on their site recently, and in their literature, I did note the kit for the BJ8 was identical to the advert I responded to in 2000. I think the article is fine as it stands as it provides some ideas not provided in the instructions.

The rotors ARE the problem. I have spent years trying to find a rotor from another application that will work. The interior dimensions of the hat must allow for the fit around the rear axle flange. Then you have the offset problem, then the 5 bolt hole problem, the thickness issue and finally the outside diameter. The best I am aware of is a Rover rotor, but after the cost of modifying and machining it, it's cheaper to buy a Denis Welch rotor. If you have a better rotor choice please share with me the name (make, model and year) of one domestic or import rotor that you KNOW has the proper clearances.

The constant news reports 'Down Under' indicate that cars spend the majority of their life parked with motor running in the middle of a log jammed freeway.

I suspect that the best way will likely be to buy a 'whole bunch' of memory cards and simply swap another one in as they fill up. You could also set the camera to shoot at a reduced resolution when appropriate - each file is smaller, so more files (images) will fit on a given card. My camera will store approx 2000 images at 'medium resolution' on a 2 GB card (secure digital type in my case), and the images are still a fairly high quality. If you shoot video on the same card, the whole thing goes out the window - those files are much larger. Hoo Roo yourself - and have a good trip. Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

I have a pair on my 100 6. I got them from an after market supplier and they were for a low rider Harley. They came in three different arm lengths and I got the longest. The arm dises 1 inch them is 8 inches long after the bend. The mirror is adjustable anywhere along that length. See a picture of it on my car this link http://www.carolinahealeys.com/car%20Mirror02030107.jpg Seached the web and found some at J.C. Whitney.

They are likely available elsewhere. Note there is a tapered washer that fits the taper of the bolt that I removed to in stall them.

Never shoot low res, because you never know when you're going to get that photo of a lifetime. Nothing pains me more than to have to tell someone that the fantastic, beautiful pic of his Healey or whatever that he just sent me "that looks great on the screen" isn't sufficient for printing (which means it also isn't sharp enough to print and frame). Shooting jpeg at today's standard of four to eight mb will give you portrait/wall quality stuff, and you should still be able to get several hundred on a couple of 2 gig cards. Some tricks: keep in mind that the more you shoot, the more you have to look at. If you're coming home with more than a few hundred shots, you'll spend more time sorting through them than you spent on the vacation. Feel free to shoot, but then whenever you're sitting somewhere doing nothing, sort through the pics on the camera and delete the finger and foot shots, the low light ones, the ones with shutter shake, and the ones with junk in them (eyes closed, pedestrian in background, poorly framed, etc). That way, when you get home, you have only the keepers. have a nice vaca. Cheers gary ************** Get trade secrets for amazing burgers. Watch "Cooking with Tyler Florence" on AOL Food.

Gary makes a good point. Resolution choice (image file size) has a lot to do with the camera used, and the intent and purpose of the photgrapher. I always shoot at the highest resolution that my camera is capable of - it's a new compact pocketable point and shoot - it's highest resolution settings give images in the 3.5 - 4 MB range, just over 500 images on a 2GB high speed SD card. Suits my purposes for now - still gives decent 'not too large' enlargements. If I need more, another memory card goes in. Patricks original post indicated that he was trying to solve a problem - my suggestions were merely for a couple of different ways to do it, not knowing what camera he uses, or what his (or his wife's) photographic purposes are.

Best thing to do is to let us know the part number on the current laygear then and only then can it be properly matched.

DMV allowed me to run them even though they were not original to the car. They gave me a pair tags:month and year and a couple of aluminum tags for them that hang off the bottom holes. I added nylon washers in between the plate and the tags so when I want, I can rotate them behind the plate and they disappear. Cool huh! Anyway, the CA DMV is not a big fan off these plates because they are hard to photograph at Tolls and by other monitoring devices. They are non-reflective and Big brother is watching. They allow it, but they don't like it - William Berg '54 BN1, '61 BT7 _________________________________________________________________ Instantly invite friends from Facebook and other social networks to join you on Windows Live Messenger. https://www.invite2messenger.net/im/?source=TXT_EML_WLH_InviteFriends _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces+mharc=autox.team.net@autox.team.net Wed Jun 4 05:27:45 2008 From: John Harper To: Alan Seigrist Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2008 12:15:28 +0100 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Lay Gear for BN 1 Alan Further comments.

Probably cranking them out faster than the production line could really handle, whereas with the A90 it was dullsville hence the nicely made gears in the early BN1s..

It's been very interesting as I have learnt quite a bit about digital image storage over the last few days. I have 2 cameras. A Sony point and shoot which takes the Sony Memory Stick thingies and an all singing, all dancing Canon SLR digital that does everything including making coffee that takes a Compact Flash card. My wife and I will be overseas for 4 weeks and I don't want to take my lap top with me. If I do I know what will happen. I'll be looking at emails when I should be looking at some historical artefact and I'll be in strife. It would be different of course if the artefact had 4 camshafts and 12 cylinders. I have been into a few shops and told them what I wanted to do. I was very patient advising the 17 year old (computer whiz) shop assistant that I really didn't want to buy the world's smallest laptop at $500 not did I want a gold plated Epson thing that stored 6 zillion images and came equipped with a Imax size screen for just $1,200. I find it amazing that no one makes a gizmo with a built-in 12 to 16 gig storage for downloading from digital cameras. Why do I need another screen when the camera already has one? Anyway I have decided to buy more storage cards. And you know what really pisses me off? When I first mentioned to my wife a week ago that I didn't want to take the laptop, she suggested that I buy more storage cards. Don't you hate it when they're right in the first place and you have spent ages fartarsing around only to realise that later? Hoo Roo Patrick Quinn Sydney, Australia Ps Last night she delivered the final blow. I asked what do we do if we run out of space. : "Buy another card."

This is not surprising as the instructions do not appear in the 100-workshop manual but are in the 100/6 3000 version.

Dang if it isn't a modern kind with a printed circuit board and 2 little relays. I forgot I replaced the original one years ago. Putting on my specs and examining it more closely, though, I saw that the little copper strip from the #5 terminal had fried a little and broken it's litle old self. That explains the inop brake lights. I'm a-wonderin' could I solder in a little bridge between the rivets on either side of the break? Seems like that'd work.... What do you think?

It won't hold the Armacord panel in a neat, precise and tidy manner. The surrounding panel is thoroughly glued in place with a top quality contact cement. In addition, aluminum pop rivets were installed at the front corners to further secure the Armacord.If you're worried about water getting under there and causing problems, a friend of mine has a BN7 in which extensive rot has crept into almost every area of the car except for this area. Thoroughly glued, moisture does not seem to have gotten in under there. Anyway, before glueing or applying any trim panels or pieces to the car, get a 1" paint brush and apply a swipe of flat finish paint that reasonably matches the interior trim colour around the battery compartment aperture and flanges and the hinge portion that will remain exposed. Install the already trimmed battery lid into the car. The heads of the screws will be up, with flats, locks and nuts on the under side. Then the main Armacord panel surrounding the battery compartment lid is carefully glued into place, lumping slightly over the hinges and screw heads. In normal service, this area will be mostly covered by the spare tire envelope. The tire strap will anchor at the front onto the chrome footman's loop screwed to the middle of the lid. The strap will pass up through the slot in the upper forward area of the envelope, pass over the tire inside, and come out the back into the boot area where the other end of the strap will anchor to the second footman's loop secured in the boot. The buckle connecting the two will be accessed from the shorter strap in the boot.

When he was in high school, we restored a TR 6 and he still gets a kick driving top down and bugs in your teeth roadsters. Even gets a lot of attention at import car shows.

Rich, who goes out of his way to pass on the correct info.). I think there is a "crop" of young enthusiast, but the cost of getting into the game is prohibitive for many. In addition, most younger enthusiast, like myself, didn't grow up around these cars and inherit the mechanical knowledge that's beneficial to have for ownership, which can seem overwhelming. I just attended the British Field Meet in Vancouver BC, and the crowd was made of people of all ages who have interest in these cars. I feel that part of the joy of ownership is sharing the experience with others, which doesn't happen much when a car sits in the garage. My plan is to keep it on the road where it was meant to be...letting the youth of today see a Healey maybe for their first time and sparking that desire that makes them say "someday I'm going to have one of those"...(the few times I had the Healey out before the restoration, I got more looks, smiles, thumbs up, etc. then I ever got in the flashy Porsche...and I had just as much fun in the Healey) Joel BN2 _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces+mharc=autox.team.net@autox.team.net Thu Jun 5 19:23:25 2008 From: "Alan Seigrist" To: PG , "Keith Taylor" , Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 09:23:41 +0800 Subject: Re: [Healeys] FREE HEALEY....looking to the future Hmmm.... it's this very same "group think" that explains why arguably the most Orwellian candidate we've had in history actually has a chance at winning?

That varience in amperage can fry contacts too! I agree with you the best thing is to solder a small braided wire bridge over the break, hopefully connecting it somewhere where there's enough metal for the solder to bite and stick. Drilling holes and soldering the bridge from the underside probably will be the best. Alternatively you can just make a new PCB with thicker connections and do it that way, but that will take more time and effort. - or - If you saved your old relay you can break that one apart and see if filing the contacts fixes that one.

The madam opened the brothel door to see a rather dignified, well- dressed, good looking man in his late 40's or early 50's. 'May I help you?' she asked. 'I want to see Valerie,' the man replied. 'Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else,' said the madam. 'No. I must see Valerie,' was the man's reply. Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man that she charged $5,000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five thousand dollars and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour, the man calmly left. The next night, the same man appeared again, demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no man had ever come back two nights in a row - too expensive - and there were no discounts. The price was still $5,000. Again the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie and they went upstairs. After an hour, he left. The following night the man was there again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for the third consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs. After their session, Valerie questioned the man. 'No one has ever been with me three nights in a row. Where are you from?' The man replied, 'South Dakota.' 'Really!' she said. 'I have family in South Dakota.' 'I know,' the man said.

When it was time to take the children to the bathroom, it was decided that the girls would go with one teacher and the boys would go with the other. The teacher assigned to the boys was waiting outside the men's room when one of the boys came out and told her that none of them could reach the urinal. Having no choice, she went inside, helped the boys with their pants, and began hoisting the boys up, one by one, holding onto their privates to direct the flow away from their clothes. As she lifted one, she couldn't help but notice that he was unusually well endowed. Trying not to show that she was staring, the teacher said, 'You must be in the fourth grade.'

I would just glue the Armacord like the factory, water just won't get in through the battery door unless you live in the tropics somewhere like Saigon or something. Even if you do, I doubt you will be driving the car in a torrential downpour. That being said, even in a downpour I don't think water would get up in there. Even in the worst case scenario where water does get in there, all you have to do is park your car in direct/hot sunlight for a couple of hours and all the water will evaporate. Drove my BJ8 in a torrential downpour here in HK (on a freeway with no shoulder - I couldn't pull over and put the top up) and had and inch of standing water in the car in 5 minutes. Took it the next day to a carpet cleaner and he sucked out all the water with a carpet shampoo machine. Then the next day I parked it in direct sunlight for about 4 hours. At the end of it all the water was completely gone, even under the carpet's rubber backing.

In my car the fan went crashing into the front cross-member and cut the bottom radiator hose to shreds. Not because of the engine mountings, which are AH100 type grafted on to a 6-cylinder engine but because the gearbox tie-rod rubbers had completely disintegrated. That allowed the whole engine/gearbox to move forward under brakes. The rubber in the gearbox tie-rod rubbers is highly susceptible to oil, of which everything behind the engine receives copious amounts. Solution???? Fit new gearbox tie-rod rubbers made from neoprene - they don't disintegrate. Friday arvo here and I am about to knock off.

Urethane is better here - it's an area that gets a lot of oil blown back on it which can turn rubber rubbers into soft goo quite quickly. The correct shimming of the engine 'rebound' mounts will reduce or prevent the engine from 'shuddering' as the clutch is let out, particularly in reverse gear. The correct clearance is also important to better control the engine's drop in the event that a main mount ever breaks. I have always shimmed the rebounds according to the manual. Of course, what then happens is that the new main mounts quickly settle, usually eliminating the clearance. I figure that someone at the factory probably calculated that it would happen, so I rarely re-do the shimming. Better that the mounts rest lighly on the brackets than be way to high. Besides, it's a real pain to get at the shims on the carb side because of the heat shield. Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

A grade school teacher in Kentucky asked her students to use the word "fascinate" in a sentence. Molly put up her hand and said, "My family went to my granddad's farm, and we all saw his pet sheep. It was fascinating." The teacher said, "That was good, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate, not fascinating". Sally raised her hand. She said, "My family went to see Rock City and I was fascinated." The teacher said, "Well, that was good Sally, but I wanted you to use the word "fascinate." Little Johnny raised his hand. The teacher hesitated because she had been burned by Little Johnny before. She finally decided there was no way he could damage the word "fascinate", so she called on him. Johnny said, "My aunt Gina has a sweater with ten buttons, but her tits are so big she can only fasten eight." The teacher sat down and cried.

I wonder if anybody has come across this before and have any comments to make. I am talking about the 'big' Healey overdrive solenoid. In my case Lucas 76515 Date Code 4878. Although almost 30 years old I fitted one of these about 4 years ago as new, old stock. For some reason when running for a long time on a motorway recently the coil burnt out for no obvious reason. Almost certainly the operating coil contacts had made although all external adjustments appeared to be correct. I opened up the solenoid to see what might have caused the fault and was surprised to find, under the nylon inner cap, that this was filled with white soft rubber. It looks as if this had been injected somehow and allowed to set. What seems to be very strange is that this rubber was interfering with the correct action of the contacts. This all seems wrong to me; hence my concern. I have two other new, old stock solenoids with the same date code and I am considering removing all the rubber before using them. I used the helpful query service of ODSpares in Rugby UK and this was their prompt reply. 'There is no need to remove all of the white rubber but certainly clean away any that will cause problems with the movement of the points or the little plunger that activates the points. Some of the Lucas ones were prone to this problem' Any further advice or comment?

The most important thing is to find a car with a clean, non rusty chassis & clean body - fixing this stuff is by far the most expensive and hardest to repair properly. Don't worry about the motor - usually they are working well and even if broken, and easier to fix by yourself, or by a mechanic. Looking for a car with a good interior is a good idea - these can be expensive to fix unless you do it yourself, which is a very big job. But finding the right car with specifically a good red interior - well that could take you a couple of years.

It took me two years of looking until I found my blue BJ8 and I still had to replace top, interior, wires and tires and on and on and on.... Key is to join the clubs, go to meetings, ask how to spot a good car from a fine paint job over a rusted hulk and look at a lot of cars. Those you can't see yourself pay someone to check out. Many members will do that for free for you. I made up business cards with what I was looking for and handed them out to members who posted them. I visited every British shop in my area and handed out the cards. It turned out to be a member that found my car. Networking. Buy the best you can afford. It's the journey. That can be a lot of fun in itself. Of course if you have $250,000 cash and ready to buy it will be amazing how fast you can find one.

Since it is a point of difference between cars, I try to record the badge style (cloisonni or painted) as an item of data in the BJ8 registry. The goal would be to determine from actual evidence at least the general change point for the badges, although availability of new ones and possibility of replacement messes up the data somewhat. Inaccurate responses to the BJ8 questionnaire could also mess up the data. If the data I have is correct, then the painted badge was used on cars throughout entire BJ8 production. The earliest chassis number recorded with a painted badge is 25396. For those who are interested, as an example the following are also recorded with painted nose badges: 26345 26576 26707 27532 28359 28770 30114 30248 30430 30730 31494 (the earliest car with a painted badge that I have actually seen with my own eyes) 33042 33437 ... etc., etc. The point at which MOST cars have the painted badges seems to be somewhere around chassis 39XXX/40XXX. I had never paid attention the missing hyphen in my car's badge, which I'm convinced is original to the car. It made me curious about the original badge of my BJ7, and I see that it does have the hyphen. You learn something every day. Now, am I going to have to create "HYPHEN" and "NON-HYPHEN" sub-categories in the registry?

They did mine some years ago and it came back looking better than anything "new" that I've ever seen. Not particularly quick or particularly cheap, but well worth it. When people see your car for the first time, isn't the front badge often the first thing they look at? And, if you refurbish your original, you'll know that your hyphenage(?) is correct!

The originals might also have been cloisonni (note: the list server seems to change the accented "e" on the end of this word to "i"), but I would guess that someone would have to intentionally remove all traces of the cloisonni, unlike paint which could easily flake off on its own.

There was no contrasting piping on the seats or armrest. However, the red Armacord throughout was bound in the contrasting orange shade. It wasn't until after January '56 in the later BN2's that a red interior was introduced that was much more of a deep crimson red, again with no contrasting piping. Perception of a colour from someone who isn't necessarily "up to speed" on what is correct and what is not, could possibly have the unwary buyer paying top money for something found later to be incorrect. Of course to each his own and best of luck finding your dream car. There is one here in Ontario that may be available that is exactly what you describe. It's a BN1, Old English White with the red/orange interior, completely finished and a Gold level Concours winner. We assembled and trimmed out this car in 2002. The car is excellent and needs nothing. Not going cheap, but worth every penny. Contact me if this sounds like what you want, and I'll put you in touch with the owner.

After running them in the normal fashion for a few years I installed Putzkes Bilstein conversion kit. To use the conversion kit you run the Armstrong shocks with the valving removed. That basically converts the shock to just an upper "A" arm assembly with no damping. I have been running with that system for years now. My Armstrong shocks bushings are worn and there is now some play. So I need to buy some new front shocks. Obviously I am interested in finding shocks that are in excellent working condition. I will the remove the valve and use them as before. Does anyone have a set that they are willing to part with? I am interested in the versions that will fit under the wheel well tub without modification. Also the 4 mounting points need to be in good condition. If anyone is interested in selling me these parts, please contact me off-list.

This would be considerably cheaper than new shocks, which will require mods to the wheel wells. Otherwise, you'll need to buy used OEM--doubt there is any NOS left--and probably get them rebuilt anyway.

I have to eat a little crow because, obviously the $4/gal mark has been reached and then some. However, the rise in oil and gas prices didn't come as soon as my "adversary" claimed, nor has the world economy come to a halt (at least not yet). So, if that Lister's still online congratulations on calling the situation correctly, if not a bit prematurely (if I recall, I felt more expensive gas was probable, but that the increase and effect would not be as severe or come as soon as the other Lister predicted). FWIW, though I enjoy cheap fuel as much as anybody I've never felt it was a divine right and always tried to use fuel--and other resources, for that matter--efficiently. My hobbies (driving and flying) sure have gotten expensive, though.

I am using two diagrams provided by List members and both have been nearly 100% identical as I've gone through the entire car. When I came to the overdrive relay, the drawings conflict. They differ in the terminals used for ground and 12v power from the fuse box through the dash switch to the relay. I have pictures of other BJ7s and one of them has a relay that has the bakelite side with screw-down terminals facing forward, toward the motor. Mine is a metal-enclosed enclosed relay with spade tips facing down. Terminal identifications are stamped on the relay and correspond to both the drawings, but as I said, the terminations differ. Does someone have a working BJ7 that can tell me how this model should be wired? Color-coded wire connections to the terminal number would be perfect. I hate to try one method and burn out the relay by having the ground attached incorrectly. You can reply off line using my email below. Many thanks, again.

Sometimes a little air gets sucked back when the stroke has finished.....so you get 95?% of the air out of each line, but never the last 5%. There's something in my BMC manual to that effect.

Since I have a plastic Texas Kooler fan, I would be reluctant to try to turn the engine with the fan. I use a spanner, and even that isn't really easy even with the plugs out, and that's why I welded an extension to it for a little more leverage.

I cut an access to the nut that was stripped with a dremel tool and lifter the access plate uo and with a little grinding and a hammer I knocked the stripped nut out. I had a friend of mine machine a new nut to match the old one and actually made it 1/8" higher. He retained the same step done feature and then I welded it in place.

Wiring is as follows: W1 - black (ground) C1 - White with a green stripe (two wires) C2 - White (two wires) W2 - White and purple (2 wires) C1 and C2 on my car are the reverse of what is on the wiring diagram in the manual. Since these are the relay contacts they are interchangeable. One useful modification (based on Norman Nock's recommendation) is to add an in-line fuse to the white wire which runs from the unfused side of the fuse block to C2 (or C1 if you have it wired that way). This will protect your overdrive solenoid from burning out if cut-out contacts for the pull-in winding do not open when the solenoid is activated.

At a show a couple of weeks ago, I saw a BT7 that had just been completed, and they used pans, foam and the leather kit from Moss. The leather looked very nice, but if the front of the seat cushion was up against the front of the seat frame, there was a one inch gap between the back of the cushion and the seat squab; it looked like the pan was too short to fit properly in the seat frame.

There is an on going problem with the molded seat foam parts. Apparently Moss has the same problem I bought a complete Heritage Interior. The seat foams are not molded correctly. If you fit the foam into the seat pan so it fits correctly across the front, there is about a 1 1/2 gap at the back. If you pull the cover down over and under the seat pan you'll have about a 1 to 2 " gap. Heritage is well aware of the problem. I guess new tooling for the seat foam is too expensive. So their recommendation is to stuff whatever you have handy into the space until the gap is filled. I glued a piece of foam across the back of the seat foam and then slowly trimmed the sides until the cover fit properly. The next problem was that the pleats and the bolster w/piping was not sewn together far enough back. Allowing the the foam to show. Sewing this by hand is a real bitch. Check this out before you glue the cover pleats down Also the Heritage instructions say to use "supplemental" foam on the bolster. When I pointed out that it was not furnished in my kit. I was told "we don't use that any more". This means the pleats are as high or higher than the Bolster. I added a 1/2 thick piece on top of the bolster. I've attached some pictures which may help. Good luck, Dave and Daisy ( Who has nice round Bolsters) [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of DSCN2725.jpg] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of DSCN2728.jpg] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of DSCN2729.jpg] [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type image/jpeg which had a name of DSCN2727.jpg] _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces+mharc=autox.team.net@autox.team.net Mon Jun 9 18:54:38 2008 From: "Healey Bruce" To: "David Schweninger" , "Ron Fine" Date: Mon, 9 Jun 2008 17:54:57 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Seat pans Thanks, David.

I'm in a sentimental mood having just decided along with my daughter what song we should dance to at her wedding coming up in October. I suggested a song ("Here For You") that is on Neil Young's "Prairie Wind/Heart of Gold" DVD, which well expresses some of my feelings on her getting married. Sniff sniff.... There's another song on the album--"This Old Guitar". Neil is playing on a guitar formerly owned by Hank Williams and the lyrics might well be applied to our cars. See below.

Keep in mind that when the covered seat is installed it is held down in the back area by the 3 metal tabs on the seat frame. It does help to have a slight ridge or blank area here so these tabs are not totally imbedded in your brand new leather covers. Over time I can see how these tabs may certainly start to cut into the back of the seat bottom. Just my observation, anyway. Sure am glad my interior feat is over. Almost as mentally grueling as some of the Healey mechanical stuff. It would have helped if I new of all the items that were know longer used or needed in the seat cover installation of my Heritage kit. Maybe its time that Heritage updates their pictures.

I called them and asked them to sell the fractional shares and send me the proceeds. They each said this would require me to pay a $10 service fee, more than the fractional shares are worth.

If you want to tune an SU carb's mixture at all different loads and RPMs, the only way to do it is to have a test track, a stack of different needles that run lean, and then drive the car around at successively different loads and speeds with a mobile gas analyser and then sand paper the needles down until you get correct mixture at all speeds and loads. Some people have done this with spectacular results in terms of mileage and power, but an exceptionally time consuming process. Long story short is your mechanic doesn't understand how SU carbs work. A gas analyser at idle is no more useful then just tuning by ear and using the dashpot piston lifters.

When I bought my apt. in San Francisco I paid less for the apartment than the previous owner. That meant that the first year the assessed rate was higher than I should have paid and then the SF city owed me a refund of about $1,500 after the first year where I had to overpay the tax. It took me about 2 years, and placing about 20 midnight phone calls from Hong Kong to finally get the refund check. The final person I finally got a hold of was some SF bureaucrat that told me "well it's about time you called me - this check has been sitting in my desk drawer for about 18 months because I didn't know where to send the check." Of course, if this jerk had just looked at the SF Tax website online they would have seen my Hong Kong address on the bloody public website and that would be the same address they send my property tax bill to every year, which of course if I pay one day late I have to pay 10% in penalties, but if they pay me 2 years late somehow or another it's my fault. But hey, disfunctional government unable to provide even basic services to it's tax paying citizens is far less important than giving hand outs willy nilly to the homeless that crap in the streets and a sleazy mayor who hands out illegal marriage licenses to gay couples simply to get the media on his side so they ignore the fact that he's a complete slime ball, so much so that his super duper hot ex wife left him because she couldn't handle the sleaze and now she is simply the smokinest hot anchorwoman in US news ever - Kimberly Guilfoyle on FOX.

I don't know about how plentiful the automotive units are. They, at least with the MC units, print out a nice graph of HP, Torque and the Air-Fuel Ratio. Dyno time might be more cost and time effective than track time.

I have an account just to handle bills. I automate that as much as possible. I get a statement that tells me how much a bill is and when it will be taken. They take it on the due date, which is the last date. The "float" is mine to keep. Some items that can't be automated with a direct withdrawal go to a credit card which itself has been automated to the account. A deposit into that account is also automatic. I keep about an extra months of funds in the account just in case. Nothing is ever late and no expense or hassle on my part. Maybe twice a year at most I might adjust the balance on the account. I'm down to 2 checks with credit cards that I use and vary widely in the monthly amount. Even with those the "minimum payment" is automatic. The worse case is if I don't then pay the full balance on time I could pay a finance charge but no late penalties or default risks. . I like free and no hassle!! Works well with all except for me I don't want PayPal in my accounts. I insulate myself from them by using a credit card with those that insist as that for a method of payment.

Animal rights people consider us as "current custodians" of our pets; and if THEY disapprove of any aspect of our relationship with our "current custodian" pet they believe they have the right to take it away from us. Further, the Government believes we are the "current custodian" of our estate and when we die our estate pass on to Government (by taxes or other means), not our heirs. So your gorgeous Healeys, of which you are the "current custodian," are only temporarily part of your estate and if a cop or other Government employee sees you endangering one of your Healeys, by let's say making an illegal U-turn, they have the right to relieve you of your "custodial" relationship and turn the car into Government property.

I am concerned though with the size of the reamers - what should they be? I found somewhere, that the sizes should be: Large 0.688" = 17.4752mm Small 0.817" = 20.6248mm (These are the reamer sizes, not the king pin sizes) Can anyone confirm this?

I never intend to sell the car, but I know eventually that it will have to move on to the next owner and I sincerely hope he/she is someone who will appreciate and enjoy the car as much as I have. Whether we admit it or not, all of us are just "custodians" for a limited time, not permanent owners of Healeys or anything else. For the BJ8 owners on the list: have you ever wondered who were the custodians before you? Many owners do, but for many of these 40+ year old cars, the chain of ownership is unknown and now perhaps unknowable because there was no place to record that information. Will some future owner even know that you were an owner of their car before them? Some don't care about that, but if you do then the BJ8 registry provides a place where the history of your car can be documented and preserved for the benefit of those owners who will come later. Unless you know you have already provided the information (or if you are just uncertain), please let me record what you know about the ownership history of your car. You may know some history, the next owner may not care and allow the information to fade away, then the ones who come later have no clue.

They were on the car when I got it, since the car had been continuously registered with that number from its original sale. I assume they were put on the car by the original owner in 1963, when Calif switched from black on yellow plates to yellow on black plates, and then left on when the state realized how expensive it was to switch everyone's plate whenever they decided to switch colors. That, by the way, is why the phrase "original black-plate car" often appears in for-sale ads. It indicates that the car has been continuously maintained and registered as a California since the early 1960s. Seems to me there is legislation pending that would allow "Year of Manufacture" plates to be used on cars built after the black plates came into existence, but afaik that isn't possible yet. I think YOM plates can only be used with cars build before 1963. Anyone with more interest can easily check the Cal DMV website and look up the regs on YOM plates.

He still had all of the original sales and other documentation and 40-year old photographs of the car and wanted to pass the stuff on to the current owner if he could locate them. Fortunately, I knew who the current owner was because he had contributed the details about the car to the registry. Therefore, it was a simple matter to connect the former and current owner and let them take it from there. The original owner of my car (who hadn't seen it since 1969, when he sold it to enter the Air Force) was very excited when I met him in Alabama in 1994 and gave him the keys for a while. Maybe someone in the future will want to contact you for similar reasons; but if no one knows who or where you are, how will they do that?

Original positive ground. OK, I installed a mechanical brake switch on the brake pedal. Wired as follows: Tied a wire from this switch into the green purple wire that goes to the brake lights using a double connector from and old harness. Then, because I wanted the brake lights to come on whenever I touched the pedal (like an modern car) and because I do not have a radio in the car, I wired the other side of the switch to the brown radio wire. This works perfectly, except... whenever I stop the car and turn off the ignition switch, the motor continues to run until I take my foot off of the brake pedal. I don't understand why it works this way. Can anyone explain it for me? I don't believe that the car would continue to run if I had a radio on, turned off the ignition, but not the radio.

But, now that I shipped it back to my Kentucky home having lost my calif job of 6 1/2 years last week, I will be likely required to take them off and put KY "Antique Auto" plates on it. But, I will keep the plates for the next owner (no, no plans to sell anytime soon) Richard of Ca/KY 1960 BN7 #440 soon to be just "Richard of KY" :^) _________________________________________________________________ Its easy to add contacts from Facebook and other social sites through Windows Live Messenge
