Aiieee.. I was getting some gas leaking from the bottom of my front carb. I didn't notice any gas coming out of the overflow tube. I've had this happen in the past when I turn the ignition key and listen until the fuel pump stops clicking. If the pump didn't stop, a couple of taps on the float chamber would take care of it. Yesterday I was running down a problem with one of the turn signals (bad bullet connector), so I had the ignition on for a while without running the engine. I noticed the fuel pump clicking every so often, and I could smell gas. No gas coming out the overflow tube, just gas slowly dripping from the bottom of the carb. A check of the list archive suggested the diaphram (jet assembly) was a likely culprit. I pulled the carb off, but the diaphram appears to be OK. Is it possible to have slow leak at the float chamber needle valve, so that the float chamber isn't overflowing, but you're getting too much gas at the needle? Another question -- when the diaphram fails, is it really obvious, or could I be over looking a small crack? I was looking thru my Moss catalog, and it sez the grosse jet is a superior replacement for the needle and seat. Does anyone have any experience with one vs. the other? thanks again!

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am. Bastards! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. This morning I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches.. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now...

You get the same bang from either but not the same buck. The 700's are almost twice the price and if you damage one good luck on finding replacement parts.

Team. Some advice from your collective wisdom please. I am rewiring my BN4 project and have reached the stage of running the main battery cables from the boot to the solenoid and then to the starter motor. I am using a standard starter motor and would like to minimise the volt drop throughout the length of the cable. Rather than using the standard off-the-shelf battery cables I am considering using welding cable. It is more flexible and has higher current carrying capacity. Could someone advise the size of cable I should go for? Choices available are 306/0.26strand (16sq.mm) rated at 110Amps, or 680/0.26strand (35sq.mm) rated at 240 Amps. The simple answer would be the biggest is best, but the size of the copper internal raises challenges sourcing connectors big enough to fit. Is the 16mm big enough and 35mm OTT or should I just go for the biggest and deal with the connection challenges?

Use a long screw driver to align the internal splines in the overdrive and at the same time make sure the brass thrust washers don't stick out into the shaft space (Unless you have a loose output shaft or a dummy shaft you have to do these things by sight). Make sure the pump cam on the output shaft is turned toward the top of the trannie away from the pump follower and perhaps wire the pump follower down so it can't interfere. Place the overdrive onto the output shaft gently to make sure none of these things change. You may need to turn the output flange slightly to align the internal splines with the output shaft splines. You know you have succeeded when a gentle push on the end of the overdrive causes the unit to compress the clutch springs and spring back. Start the nuts on the long set pins and pull them down gradually and evenly. If you encounter any resistance stop and check that the thrust washers haven't shifted. Better to lose a little time than break the washers. Some of them are getting hard to find. When the long pins bottom install the other fasteners. If you have wired down the pump follower be sure to cut the wire and pull it out before you pull the unit down to the adapter plate. Good luck.

You should pull the overdrive together with two large channel lock pliers. If you can not pull it together by hand there is a miss alignment in side. I have sold many adaptor plates the people broke pull the overdrive together with the two long studs and nuts.

In a conversation with the late Geoff Healey in 1992, he told me they never wasted anything. I believe this would apply to their inventory of bonnets at the time. Are you wondering whether to use a creased bonnet or not?? If so, they do fit and I do have one on my BT7 Mk2. But....it was pirated from a BN6 because my original (no crease) was badly damaged. Some think it looks odd but that sort of fits my attitude about Healeys. I can say that because I bought my car new and have kept it ever since. Yes, it has LOTS of non-original components. Sooo, if this answers your question, use it if you have it and you'll have at least one kindred spirit out there.

For example 100 1B 7361 3000 11B 5338 BMC did not change part numbers without reason and 1B 7361 went 'obsolete' and not 'superseded by' as it could have been if the later part were suitable.

I don't have my notes with me at the moment but I have equivalent ratings for Grades B, D, R, S, T & V with regard to the specific "Tons Tensile" ratings for these grades. You can reference these to the S.A.E. ratings of Grades, 2, 5 & 8. Off the top of my head I believe that Grade "R" is 45-55 Tons Tensile (nominal and ultimate loads) with equates roughly to a S.A.E. Grade 5. I'll have the specific information later this evening. And no, the letters are NOT the vendor, that would be the vendor name on the bolts, e.g., WILEY, NEWTON, TORRINGTON, AUTO, and about 30 others. One would think that an "S"rating would be a grade 8 but I believe that it's closer to a Grade 5 and the "S" replaced the "R" rating in the early 1960's.

The "Lynx C-Type" that was observed in the movie is, in fact, a current reproduction, built by the Lynx Company, of the Jaguar C-Type that was raced by Jaguar and won LeMans in 1951 and 1953. The "C-type" -- named because of its upgraded C-type engine, was built on the mechanicals of the XK120, with a tube-framed wind-cheating and exceptionally lovely body crafted by former aircraft engineer Malcolm Sayer. The Lynx is a very nice reproduction, developed by the company after it had developed a full line of replacement panels for the original C-types, and -- I believe -- has current Jag internals and engine.

On my BJ7, the accumulator sleeve is open at the bottom end, so as you introduce air pressure and simultaneously hold the piston down so that it is not forced out by the pressure, but at the same time you must not push the piston out the other (open) end of the sleeve down into the accumulator cavity of the od housing. All advice given here seems to point to non-removal of the piston from the sleeve. I found that getting enough "momentum" behind the sleeve, and keeping the piston in place is a delicate procedure. No wonder previous postings warn against this procedure without the proper factory tools. I'll have to add this to the ever growing list of things not to do. As previously stated, I had already removed the piston in ignorance. I was able to slide it back into the sleeve without consequence, however. When I applied the air pressure to the relief valve hole, I simultaneously held the piston in place with a screwdriver handle that fit the recess of the piston. I did such a good job of holding the piston in a fixed position that the sleeve slid up and out of the cavity right past the piston, leaving the piston behind, and in the absence of a surrounding sleeve, the piston dropped into the cavity. I easily retrieved it with a magnetic extension tool. I have to remark that the air pressure worked like a charm in the absence of the expansion tool designed for this purpose, but if your goal is to only change the "o" ring (s), BE CAREFUL. The piston has no reservations about sliding right out of the sleeve as the sleeve is pushed past it. Now I have both the piston and its' sleeve out. I need to determine the course of action for dealing with the scoring on both the piston and the walls of the sleeve. Incidentally, since the bottom of my accumulator sleeve is open, there is no threaded hole into which one could screw a threaded rod. Perhaps on different variants there is such a provision. I'm going back out to the garage to scratch my head on the piston damage, I'll check back later.

Fortunately it doesn't much matter as the pump makes sufficient pressure to operate the unit despite small amounts of leakage. The hard part is getting the piston back in the bore with out braking the VERY delicate rings. Make sure the splits are all at 90 degrees to the adjacent rings, just like a piston in your block. The bore is aluminum so do not try to hone. Clean the small inlet holes around the circumference of the housing. Wet the new O-rings with grease or oil prior to re-insertion.

Plus I had not difficulty understanding what you were saying. The Babel Fish (*) is an amazing thing isn't it? Clearly you didn't know that we Australians are issued with them at birth and I had one in my ear. Caroline, although born in England was issued her's by the Australian Translation Service when she became an Australian citizen. (*) "The Babel fish is small, yellow and leech-like, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix, formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centres of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear, you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language."

BTW I sent this same (similar) list out back on 2/4/01, so it should be in the archives, Re: "Unbreako - R, S or T." I've updated it slightly. *A* - 28 TONS TENSILE, I've never seen a bolt with this rating in 35 years of working on British cars. *B* - UNKNOWN, However the 3/8" Bolts that hold the bumper brackets to the frame on my BN1 are this rating and I've seen them in other low stress applications. The 5/16" bolts that hold my air cleaners to the carburetors on my BN1 are also a "B" rating with the "WODEN" vendor name. *D* - 45/55 TONS TENSILE, I've seen this listed as 45/55 TT but this would make it the same as the higher R rating which doesn't seem to make sense. I have at least one bolt in my collection labeled "BEES 45D55." *P* - 35 TONS TENSILE, This seems to fit the pattern and this is referenced somewhere in my research but I don't have any examples. I would suspect that this SHOULD be a 35/45 strength rating. I've also never seen a "P" rating code on any bolt. *R* - 45/55 TONS TENSILE The most common rating code for fasteners on my BN1and seems so be on most period cars through the end of the 1950s. I have plenty of bolts labeled "BEES 45R55. According to Phillip Brown at British Tools & Fasteners, this is roughly equal to a U.S. Grade 5. * S* - 50/60 TONS TENSILE, The S rating appears to have replaced the R rating around 1960 and as you can see it's slightly stronger. I have a bolt in my collection labeled "RUBERY OWEN S50-60" *T* - 55/65 TONS TENSILE, I have a bolt labeled "BEES 55T65" *V* - 65/75 TONS TENSILE, Once again I have an example labeled "BEES 65V75" I also found a bolt on my three speed transmission with the markings "SPARTS HT SAE" One of the few non BSF (Whitworth) bolts on the transmission and I believe that the HT stands for High Tensile, but that's just a SWAG. I have found other bolts labeled HT in high stress areas on the suspension of my '60 Bugeye. Don't we have anyone on the list in the fastener industry (UK) that could help us out with a reference to these ratings?

Also, if there's anything AH 3000 secific I should gather. Most of my restorations that weren't done with dad's old collection of tools have either been more modern british cars (70's) or american cars, so my present tool collection reflects that.

Of course, I have always been able to create wonderful reasons why I couldn't work on it over the years. It's too hot in the garage, it's too cold in the garage, I'm too busy at work, the kids are in college and don't have the money, etc, etc... Well, I have slowly chipped away at all the excuses and for the most part, they are gone! After a cumulative 8 years of college expenses, I'm down to the last child who only has 2-1/2 years to go. (Those years with two in school at the same time were a bit lean!) I have installed heating and A/C in the garage, new 110 and 220v service, compressed air and new lighting that's so bright I can attract bugs from 1/4 mile away. I even went as far as selling my Bugeye with the wind-up key I made to drive while the 3000 was in progress. (I really hated to do that because it was so fun but I needed the room to work) Anyway, now that I'm back on task, I'm sure I'll have a few problems that will pop-up as things progress. For those situations where I need a helping hand, I hope to use the list as a resource. I promise to try and avoid overtaxing your generosity and I will ALWAYS search the archives before typing. Thanks! Dan Corning Nashville Ps. If you have a minute, take a look at my old Bugeye.

I received emails from quite a few listers detailing the steps to follow. At this point I've got the bell housing/gearbox/overdrive assembly held up by a large floor jack with a carved out 4x4 inch wooden block between the casing and the jack. The engine is supported by a screw jack properly padded. Drive shaft and starter are out of the car. Clutch slave cylinder is out of the way. Gearbox damper is removed. Speedo cable and wire to gearbox removed. I've taken the precaution some mentioned about loosening the throttle linkage. I removed the bell housing bolts and the assembly moves freely away from the engine. Question(s) 1. How much separation do I need between the bellhousing and the engine rear plate before the first motion shaft is free and clear? 2. Can I continue to jack the bellhousing/gearbox/overdrive in that extended position without damaging the shaft? I understand that I need to jack the engine pretty much in sync with the gearbox, but should both "pieces" be bolted together before I raise the gearbox? As always, I anticipate and appreciate your help.

Are these new wheels the KN Minators?? If so, that's what I have. I purchased new 7/16" lug nuts from AutoZone for about $1.50 each (about 7-8 years ago). They have a thin stainless steel cover just for looks over the steel lug nut and they require a 3/4" deep socket for a lug wrench. The inner ends are "mushroomed" so they are wider and tapered so they are a perfect match for the KN wheels. BUT...you do have to install longer studs. I bought mine at a street rod shop near home.

Taking a suggestion that I found on a Triumph web site, I used a 1-1 1/8" expansion plug. I inserted the plug into the spacer tube and tightened the nut to expand the plug. I was then able to pull the tube, accumulator cylinder, and piston all in one piece by pulling on the expansion plug nut with a pair of vice grips. Somehow the piston had come out far enough that one piston ring was out of the bore. I see what you all meant about the rings being very delicate. I will know in another day or so, after I get everything back together, whether replacing the o-ring solves my problem.

I'm getting a clicking noise through the intercom when the engine is running. This is caused by some "noise" on the 12 VDC power supply line which comes from the car's electrical system. I know this because when I run the intercom from a separate battery there is no noise with the car running. I have been unable to find the source of the "noise" so I want to put a filter of some sort on the power supply line to the intercom. I've tried those cylindrical magnet things but they didn't work. Is there a simple in line filter that I can readily source (I leave on Wednesday) that I can run the power through to get the "noise" out. _____ Psssst...Have you heard the news?

All - My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior. Looks nice but nothing close to original! Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it over the next few months. My desire is to get the car back to as close to a factory & factory color scheme as possible. Keep in mind I want to have an OEM style red leather interior (as was available in the UK on special order). Note also according to my BMHIT cert, the car was originally White with red interior (and is confirmed by paint on the undersides), but I would also like to keep a two tone paint job. With all this in mind I have two real options I am considering: 1) Go with Black over Red with Red interior. This is an original color scheme and will be similar to what the car is painted now. The color looks fantastic as well. Downside is black does not age all that well and will highlight minor imperfections over time - also it gets hot in the sun. Also the car was painted white at the factory. 2) Go with the original color scheme of White with Red interior - with a twist (remember I want two tone). The only two tone with white done by the factory was white over black. I think that color combo is fine, but with a red interior I would really prefer to go with White over Red, with red interior. This is not an original factory color combination, but I have to imagine several cars were painted like this at dealerships? This would allow me to more or less have the car in its original color scheme but the coves painted red. This was a standard corvette paint scheme in the sixties. I do intend for the car to be a 98% restoration to original concours standard, with 2% stuff for the car to be a good daily runner (i.e. pertonix, spin on filter, proper air filters, etc.). I am leaning to white over red with red interior. Will you purists out there choke on your "pan au chocolat" when you see the car in this colo(u)r scheme?

This seems to be about the right balancing point. - With everything undone as you have, I lift gently on the chain falls a few links and as soon as the weight of the transmission assembly is on the chain falls, I can pull back the entire assembly, and literally swivel the transmission using the heel of my hand on the rear prop shaft flange. - The trans assembly can be turned 90 degrees and set across the floor, the sling removed, and the trans can be lifted (two people) and removed from the car. - Replace the clutch assembly as needed. - Bring the trans back into the car, resling as before, take the weight on the chain falls, and turn the assembly to face forward again. - Shift the trans into 4th gear, and with the weight of the trans still on the sling, you can push the assembly forward enough to engage the splines of the clutch, rotating the shaft by means of the rear prop shaft flange being in direct drive (4th gear). - When the input shaft splines enter the clutch splines, the trans will no longer be able to spin. You'll have about another 1 1/2" to go to shove everything home. Align bolt holes and finish reassembling everything.

It is now to big and I'm to old to do 50 miles in 4 days. The corral is an amazing collection of cars and other vehicles for sale. Always different and interesting. The car show on Saturday is an all day adventure, from the unofficial parade of vehicles arriving early in the morning to that last roasted turkey leg. If you have been there you'll understand. I'll be the guy that looks like he is enjoying himself, along with 100,000 others.

I would recommend that you acquire some replacement nuts.....for the wheelbox..... then cut the seized ones off. Make sure that you have the correct ones before you do as many suppliers will send a different size which do not fit. To cut the nuts off I would suggest that you used the old "Abdul camel trick". Have someone press the head of a club hammer against one side of the nut then using a sharp cold chisel and another hammer cut the opposite side of the nut. Once split in this way the nut will unscrew easily.

Should I hold the rear bush with vice grips and "pinch" the wheel box housing - sounds like a bad choice. Should I cut the wheel box housing and replace it - another less than desireable choice. Is there a way to get to the piece to which the nut is attached from under the dash? Do I need to remove the dash to do this work or replace the wheel housing? Thank you for your thoughts.

I used a cloth so there was little or no scratching on the chrome, which was a waste of time because.... 2) the chrome bodies wouldn't come off the spindles for love nor money.So... 3) I bought a Dremel and the appropriate little cutter/grinder, made a groove down the top, say, 7/8ths of the bodies, stuck a series of progressively bigger screw drivers into the slot and cracked them open and thus removed them. 4) Replacement is not, as they say, the reverse of the above procedure. One thing did strike me at the time........the spindles might have been caught on the inside of the chrome bodies. Having someone in the car pushing the mechanism upwards while someone else moved the body around might just have released them. Hard to recall exactly what might have been catching on what but I do recall that the chrome bodies were pretty hollow and that they weren't touching the spindles' casings all the way down. (which would have allowed 30 -40 yrs worth of crud to go solid for the friction/binding effect). The latter push/wiggle manoeuvre risks damaging the mechanism which isn't that robust. But the Dremel risks the paintwork. The chrome bodies cost nothing much. I replaced the spindles which are supplied with new nuts, the chrome bodies and got some decent seals. The ones that had sat on my work bench for a year or two were useless and I got some better ones. Afraid that I can't recall which of the "usual suspects" supplied which seal and I'd be perfectly happy to say without a silly asterisk in sight.

IMO- the BJ8's look best in a solid exterior color. The earlier two seaters look good in the two tone shades, but that's obviously just my opinion. If you stay with solid white with red interior you will have a striking car AND there is no doubt about the car being correct. --- On Tue, 9/9/08, Alan Seigrist wrote: From: Alan Seigrist Subject: [Healeys] Original Colo(u)r Scheme - advice? To: "Healey" Date: Tuesday, September 9, 2008, 1:46 AM All - My early BJ8 is currently Black over silver with Beige interior. Looks nice but nothing close to original! Anyway, as some of you know, I am tearing the car down and rebuilding it over the next few months. My desire is to get the car back to as close to a factory & factory color scheme as possible. Keep in mind I want to have an OEM style red leather interior (as was available in the UK on special order). Note also according to my BMHIT cert, the car was originally White with red interior (and is confirmed by paint on the undersides), but I would also like to keep a two tone paint job. With all this in mind I have two real options I am considering: 1) Go with Black over Red with Red interior. This is an original color scheme and will be similar to what the car is painted now. The color looks fantastic as well. Downside is black does not age all that well and will highlight minor imperfections over time - also it gets hot in the sun. Also the car was painted white at the factory. 2) Go with the original color scheme of White with Red interior - with a twist (remember I want two tone). The only two tone with white done by the factory was white over black. I think that color combo is fine, but with a red interior I would really prefer to go with White over Red, with red interior. This is not an original factory color combination, but I have to imagine several cars were painted like this at dealerships? This would allow me to more or less have the car in its original color scheme but the coves painted red. This was a standard corvette paint scheme in the sixties. I do intend for the car to be a 98% restoration to original concours standard, with 2% stuff for the car to be a good daily runner (i.e. pertonix, spin on filter, proper air filters, etc.). I am leaning to white over red with red interior. Will you purists out there choke on your "pan au chocolat" when you see the car in this colo(u)r scheme?

This was a '59 BN7 with 14000 miles from new.. The car was cleaned, the engine removed & regasketed. The timing chain tensioner was replaced (the rubber was bad on the original) but otherwise everything was put back into the engine that came out. The motor was painted. We rebuilt the brakes, fitted new tires and a new soft top. Buffed up the original paint & polished the chrome. The original spare tire is unused in the trunk. We had an information session on this car at Autofarm earlier this year. There are pictures of it on our website, and it will be at Conclave 2009 in Ontario.

Listers, Speaking of cheap BT7s I could not resist. I too have a BT7 now!!!!! I just picked it up from my buddy Karl last Thursday. He had lost interest and could not complete the restoration. I found the car on Hemmings website in May of 2001. Karl and I went to southern Iowa near Burlington and he bought the car for $500. It was rusted in half. We installed new main frame rails and most of the rest of the car was salvageable, minus some sheet metal and doglegs. It has had all of the rust cut out and new panels welded in. When I bought it last week it now has the following: rebuilt gauges, re-cored radiator, new tires, all new suspension, new brake calipers, rebuilt motor, rebuilt gearbox, rebuilt overdrive, new windshield and much more. It now needs the body panels hung on it and the bodywork completed as well as new wiring harness and exhaust installed. I figure another $6-7000 in parts and it will be on the road again. I will do the body work myself and have my brother in law paint it for beer. Needless to say,...the wife was not happy with the acquisition. I told her it was a good investment. I will post pics soon. Some older pics of the car can be seen at healeyarchaeology.blogspot.com. The pics of the car are at the start of the blog.

Together they're good for a big seat-of-the pants increase in power. Ask Reid Trummel--he drove it at Conclave in SD. Still has the Mk1 cam so probably limited because of that, though I do have the high-lift rockers. Can't say as I felt any difference between the HD6 & 8s though. Extension is necessary for KN air filter due to rear carb intake flange being exactly on top of slanted frame rail. Flange extends filter so it can hang into the area above the master cyls. The mechanical linkage required using the BJ8 firewall bracket and fabbing a longer 5/16 rod as well as a couple of new shorter rods. I have the [expensive] pieces necessary for the BJ8 dual choke cable setup, but got lazy and decided to try it with the rear choke only.

I have remained intrigued about the intake. I am not sure that I understand why you had to make the extension for the carb to air cleaner? Can you shed some light on that. Have you run the car? Do you find a performance increase? Have you tested it? Your installation looks very nice. I had seen a similar set-up on a rally car a couple of years ago. The owner used a throttle cable rather than the mechanical linkage. I did adopt the throttle cable on my car.

I wouldn't expect to find any additional information unique to a particular vehicle in those. BMIHT says the purpose of the technical specification is to supplement the certificate information when required to support licensing, registration, or importation of a car. I once received a request from a BJ8 owner in Japan to provide information to convince the Japanese registration authorities to allow registration of his car (which he had imported from England), since the information on the certificate was not sufficient. They needed the horsepower of the engine, which was a "Gold Seal" factory replacement. A letter on AHCA letterhead from the BJ8 registry did the trick. Perhaps this is the kind of stuff the technical specification has.

I've often wondered if these cars could get a BMIHT certificate. I believe that the certs are usually put together using the microfilmed build card information. I don't know about the models as early as a BN1, but the 3000s have another record at BMIHT that is hand-written entries in a series of large ledger books. If you go to the BMIHT archives for research, these ledger books are what they give you access to. Maybe this would be another source of manufacturing information.

Have someone rotate the whole mechanism while you look at the tube sticking out the front of the steering box. If the tube rotates, then you've found the problem. There should be a brass nut that the tube goes through. Underneath/behind the nut is an olive (compression fitting). Tightening the nut should squeeze the olive locking the tube in place. If the tube doesn't rotate, then I'm going to guess that the car has an adjustable steering wheel. With the adjustable steering wheel, there are two stator tubes. The long stator tube is clamped to the front of the steering box as described above. The other end of the tube has a slot. The second stator tube is attached to the mechanism (trafficator), fits over the long tube and has a couple of ears that ride in the slot of the long tube. The slot/ears allow the length of the stator tube assembly to change but not spin. The corners at the end of the slot are pretty sharp and after 40 plus years, the long stator tube develops cracks. After enough time the cracks get long enough that the tube fails or develops enough slop that the short stator tube is free to spin.

We need to wait for that. But last time Mike Sanders grease http://mike.british-cars.de/english.htm was the test winner. So I assume it will be within the first three in the test again.

I am a retired meteorologist and can say with some surety that Ike is going to absolutely hammer the area! Worst conditions will be from Freeport up through Galveston and on through High Island but things will be just as bad when the storm surge moves into Galveston Bay and the Houston ship channel. If you stay in those areas... well...... Across Houston the storm surge will not be so much of a problem but torrential rains and hurricane winds will cause major flooding and lots of roof and tree damage. Power will be out for a long time and food and water will become critical. Please don't take a chance on this one, folks.... This is the most dangerous storm for the Houston area I have seen in my 42 years as a meteorologist and I lived in Houston for 3 years!! Please pack up and leave NOW!

My frames were replaced in the restoration of the body. The pre-drilled holes in the door frames seem to be about 3/4 of an inch too high. The door is perfectly aligned with the other body panels, so moving the door to align with the catch would throw off the lines of the car. The only solution I see is to drill new holes in the door frames. Is there any alternative? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Jackson - Not sure if this makes you feel any better but one of the professors that "discovered" global warming has basically said because of the developing world (i.e. China and India) and that fossil fuels mostly come from the Middle East and Russia that burning fossil fuels will ultimately make no difference looking to the future with respect to CO2 reduction, because it'll all get burned anyway. He said basically that the most effective way to reduce CO2 as a result is to focus on Coal energy use and either reducing its use or CO2 reinjection, although in my opinion it's just easier to go to nuclear, hydro, wind or solar than trying to pump CO2 into the ground, having done something similar in the past it's a bit of a sketchy thing.

I'm just 3ft 6in and have size 3 1/2 shoes. That's why the pedals of the BN3 are built up with wood. There is an interesting piece of Australian history here. When the ANZAC soldiers arrived in England in 1915 the average Australian and New Zealand digger was 2 to 3 inches taller than their British and French counterpart. This was put down to the extra sunshine and better food down under. That makes the average British Austin-Healey owner no taller than 3ft 4ins.

Some of you flagged if on Craigslist. It is a real car and the price is what is stated. There are a few problems. The car came from Ohio, they bought it over the internet. The paint is new, yep, went right over that old paint and rust bubbles. The frame is a bit of Swiss cheese. The outriggers are gone. The sales guy thought that you could weld in new outriggers, but I think there is not enough metal left to weld. The sales guy finally asked what I thought it was worth. I told him that the car would have to be stripped and a new frame put on. He then mentioned that he might ship it over to England as he could get his money back with the sales differential. So, keep an eye out for a red , rusty, BJ8.

Some of you flagged if on Craigslist. It is a real car and the price is what is stated. There are a few problems. The car came from Ohio, they bought it over the internet. The paint is new, yep, went right over that old paint and rust bubbles. The frame is a bit of Swiss cheese. The outriggers are gone. The sales guy thought that you could weld in new outriggers, but I think there is not enough metal left to weld. The sales guy finally asked what I thought it was worth. I told him that the car would have to be stripped and a new frame put on. He then mentioned that he might ship it over to England as he could get his money back with the sales differential. So, keep an eye out for a red , rusty, BJ8.

I think if you don't you risk side loads on the bushings or even bending the shafts trying to contort one carb off the manifold. The funky choke mechanism on the HD8s have been discussed quite a bit on this list (usually, it's trouble getting the choke activation arms to return--supplemental springs are one approach). There is no magic bullet; you just have to get everything as clean, lightly lubed (I like silicone oil for this) and smooth-working as possible. Make sure there's no binding in the cables (from the knob to the choke arms), the choke/throttle augment mechanism operates smoothly and that both cables are set the same, with just a little slack. If the cables don't pull evenly the result will be that the bar that connects both cables to the single cable to the knob will be cocked in its bracket (on the firewall). As for removing/installing the carbs, all I can offer is to reach under the carbs from the front and use a stubby open-end wrench (don't think a ratcheting box-end will fit, unfortunately). It's when I do this job I'm glad I have small hands (but big feet ;) bs T W wrote: > Thanks to suggestions of a couple of listers, I replaced the diaphragm and > the needle/seat, and I'm back in business.

I very successfully TIG welded some cracks in my rear shroud several years ago. It was a large Miler square wave machine, but they do make smaller machines as well. Came out really nice. Miller claims you can MIG weld aluminum, but I haven't tried it. I have a Miller Challenger MIG welder that I've used for welding steel on my Healey. Really nice welder if tyou are looking to buy a MIG welder. I believe you can get a spool of aluminim wire for it, but as I said I haven't tried it. Whatever you do, practice on alot of scrap before you try welding the shroud. I don't remember the alloy used on the shrouds I think the designation was different than what we use today. I was going to use 6061T6 alloy for a repair on my front shroud, but I haven't done it yet. Be careful with aluminum alloys if you weld in a patch with new material; some are weldable, some are not.

The body of the vacuum cylinder has Girling stamped in it, so I bought the Girling kit. However, looking at the pictures in the shop manual, it shows a unit where the back of the drum is just a flat plate held to the servo drum by about 6 screws. Wish I had this unit as it would come apart very easily. My unit must be a later one as it is one of those that the two pieces are held together by a serrated band. You twist the two halves to line up the serrations and the unit comes apart. I have rebuilt a similar unit on a Triumph Stag but on that unit there are mounting lugs on both halves; you put the unit in a vise and I made a tool to pick up the lugs on the other half; came apart pretty easily. Q1. On this unit, there is really nothing to grab on to to twist the two halves apart. The only way I see to do it is to put the whole thing in a large vise, push down with your full body weight to unload the spring between the two halves and then put a large band clamp around it and hopefully it will twist apart. Has anybody done this before and does anybody have any suggestions for getting it apart? Q2. I bought the rebuild kit from British Car Specialsts in Stockton, CA. I believe this is Norman and David Nocks outfit? Unfortunately they are closed today; hopefully you're on the list this w/e. :) The kit appears to be for the early Girling unit. Is there a kit for the later Girling unit, or are they the same kit? The vacuum cylinder looks to be the same as the early unit judging from the pictures in the manual; maybe the only difference is the rear half of the drum and the seals for it? Hopefully I didn't buy the wrong kit.

On one nut I drilled out the threads so a suitably sized bolt would go through and engage the threads of the other, thus pulling the band tight. I think this setup will work but, unfortunately I haven't re-assembled the unit because the rubber elbow to the metal vacuum pipe broke and I haven't devised a suitable fix (my other unit is working fine so there's no imperative to do so).

This is either a) a better way to do it, b) cheaper, c) neither or d) both (my guess is "b"). I have a feeling this type is meant to be replaced rather than rebuilt. The other is a slight difference in the externals and internals of the body (note there are two cylinders: a slave which is used to operate a valve which gates either atmospheric air or vacuum (non-braked condition) to the vacuum chamber, and the M/C, which applies the pressure to the wheel cylinders). On the metal/leather/rubber piston-type unit, the tip of the "conrod" from the vacuum piston seals the M/C piston when brakes are applied and releases allowing fluid to back-flow when brakes are released. On the diaphragm-type, there is a small ball bearing which I believe is part of this check-valve setup. Here comes the favor: when I disassembled my unit, the check-valve fell out and I didn't see EXACTLY how it is installed so, if you do get your unit apart watch carefully for the location of this ball bearing and please, let me know where it goes. The rebuild kit you bought should provide all the parts you need, and then some (you won't need the rubber/leather seal for the vacuum piston, for instance). There are seals for both fluid cylinders, the gasket to seal the vacuum canister to the servo body and new copper sealing washers for the bolts that attach the vacuum canister to the servo body (most kits don't provide new valves for the air/vacuum "switch;" yours are probably OK). Ironically, if you could get to the bolts attaching the canister to the body without opening the canister you probably wouldn't need to open the vacuum canister at all; I think the rubber diaphragm should last a long time and there's nothing you can do to service or replace it anyway (this type doesn't need the dry lube on the inside of the canister as the perimeter of the diaphragm is pinched to between the two halves of the canister). If you get the cylinders sleeved, make sure your rebuilder does not media blast within the air/vacuum valve area; it'll muck up the machined surface (I don't think it's necessary to blast them regardless, but most rebuilders do because they want to clean them up and it looks pretty). Otherwise, just clean everything and reassemble. I've tried to find the history of these units, but can only find documentation on the early unit (the most info I got was from the Victoria British catalog). Like you mentioned, I think the sealed-band type is a later replacement design. bs ******************************************************************* Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ******************************************************************* _______________________________________________ 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 Sat Sep 13 13:36:14 2008 From: "Frank Magnusson" To: Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 14:36:03 -0500 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Brake servo repair - Pt. 1 good idea!; I'll have to look into that if I can't get it apart; I wonder if that part of the servo holds vacuum and if your idea would still hold vacuum or distort the drum? >----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Spidell" To: "Frank Magnusson" Cc: Sent: Saturday, September 13, 2008 2:24 PM Subject: Re: [Healeys] Brake servo repair - Pt. 1 > Frank, > > I'm glad you wrote the List.

They either wear so they don't seal properly or get brittle and crack from age and non-use; either way this allows brake fluid into the vacuum canister which can find its way into the intake manifold. If I recall correctly, you have to "break" the vacuum canister from the servo body to get at this seal. bs ******************************************************************* Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ******************************************************************* _______________________________________________ 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 Sat Sep 13 13:49:52 2008 From: To: "George" ,"Healey List" Date: Sat, 13 Sep 2008 15:49:46 -0400 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Fw: 6 Volt Battery Tray Mounting I wasn't sure who was being referred to as I don't recall too many sales pitches on this list.

Im in the middle of the re-assembly portion of a frame off restoration of my BN7 and its getting time to mount my batteries. Ive got the new aluminum battery trays but I dont know how they were affixed to the support mounts. I see no previous weld marks and no screw holes. Ive got two buddies in my car club who also have BN7s but they either bought the car or changed to one 12 volt years ago so they were no help. Does anybody know how the trays were affixed to the supports and batteries held in the trays? Any help would be great!

The kits Frank and I have are for earlier (I think) units that have the canister with the removable plate and leather/rubber tube piston seals. All the parts (gaskets, seals, etc.) fit except there is no replacement band and no diaphragm. I cut my metal band then welded a couple of nuts on the band so I can reuse it. My diaphragm appears to be in good shape, I just need the rubber elbow that connects the canister to the metal pipe that goes to the air/vacuum valve. Do you know where the small ball bearing that fell out of mine goes and what it's for (the earlier units don't have it)? Thanks, Bob ps. the other kits ain't "cheap"either; about $80 for seals, a couple gaskets and some copper washers Carroll A Phillips wrote: > Guys, from what your explaining I think you may possibly have the Girling Mk > 2b units.

Never forget that the slightest little thing can cause a brake foul up. In my case it was forgetting to put the spring washer back into the master cylinder that caused me to pump quarts of fluid through trying to find the air bubble that never existed.

I'm an overdrive novice but I think the washer makes a difference. It's the copper washer for the bolt that holds pressure on a spring and ball. (It's item number 91 on page 60 of the current Moss catalog) The inside diameter of the washer is too small to sit down on the shoulder of the bolt head and the outside diameter is too big to sit inside the recessed area of the OD housing. I'm pretty sure this will cause less pressure on the spring and ball assembly. Because my car hasn't run in over a decade, I have no way to test it's operation. Can anyone tell me what that bolt - spring - ball and valve assembly does and how it will affect the overdrive? Also, does anyone know where I can get a new washer or what the dimensions of the washer is so I can make one.

The brake booster rebuild kits usually come with a rubber seal for the vacuum piston that is too thick. You have to cut these seals in half, otherwise it can lock the brakes in the on position. The way you can check it (sometimes) is when the brakes lock up, if you tap the vacuum cylinder with a screwdriver handle or small rubber mallot (VERY GENTLY! You don't want to dent the vacuum chamber!) and the brakes come loose, this is your problem. Only way to fix this is to take the thing out, pull out the vacuum piston, pull off the rubber seal (located under the leather seal) and cut it in half. To be honest, you almost don't need this seal - it works best when it has very light pressure on the leather seal. When I rebuilt the old booster on my BJ8 several years ago, I had to cut it down twice (first I cut it only 1/4 off the seal and it still stuck - finally cutting it in half worked).

Upon inspecting the interior of the bell housing, I noticed the oil seal around the 1st motion shaft is failing. It was installed by a PO badly as it has a few dents on the metal lip of the seal - probably hammered in without protecting it. This has the effect of keeping my garage floor well lubricated. So, the question is - how difficult is it to remove the old one and install a new one? How does one get the old seal out? Do I need to separate the bell housing and transmission to properly get to the seal? I'm assuming I'll need (in addition to a new seal) the gasket set (assume Moss). There is a buffer pad that Moss doesn't carry. Is that something I'd need to replace? As always, I appreciate the collective wisdom of the List and await your responses.

If you wish to observe if the pump plunger is actually working, drain the oil from the overdrive unit by removing the large brass nut underneath, remove the gauze filter and also the setscrew, this will enable you to remove the centre nut with a small socket. With the aid of a good flashlight or lead light turn the rear wheels so it turns over the overdrive internals, if the pump is located correctly onto the operating cam you will observe the pump plunger moving up and down. If not then there may be a good chance that during the re-assembly you did not pull the pump plunger down with a draw wire to enable the pump plunger to locate under the operating cam and as such the pump plunger shaft will be bent and is unfortunately buggered. I hope that this helps you to solve your problem. Regards.

It probably did that when i was having trouble getting the OD on the gearbox the first time. I pushed the roller assembly forward and the pump now moves freely. The roller has a gash in it probably from hitting the cam at the funky angle.
