I I've owned my Mustang for about 7 months now, and I've still got some learning to do but I've pretty much figured out the torque band, rev limiter and shifting. The Mustang has a Tremec TR-3650 5-speed transmission which seems to be regarded as a decent, if not good modern manual unit. Although the Tremec has (presumably) better gear spacing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremec_TR-3650_transmission) and a much shorter throw, I still sometimes get some grinding when shifting, usually going into second. On occasion, I'll get a seamless shift in the Mustang; however, in my BJ8 I never have any problem getting from gear to gear (except going into first at a dead stop, but that' a different story). Maybe it's because I've got 25 years' and 80K miles' practice in the Healey, but the Healey gearbox holds its own once you've gotten used to it (you certainly can't shift as fast, but the Tremec requires some timing and pausing to hit the gear perfectly as well). Granted, the Mustang isn't exactly the epitome of modern sports car design, but it's no slouch and it's interesting how well the Healey stacks up in overall driveability against the much more modern car (the Mustang's 4.6L V-8 is a gem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_10_Best_Engines). Probably because it has more than twice the HP, is only about 50% heavier than the Healey and comes from the factory with sh*tty tires, the Mustang is much more unpredictable in a corner. I believe the Healey has better weight distribution, despite the lump in front of the firewall. -- ******************************************************************* 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@autox.team.net Sat Nov 1 08:05:53 2008 From: Bob Spidell To: healeylist Date: Sat, 01 Nov 2008 08:05:43 -0700 Subject: [Healeys] Healey vs. Mustang - Pt. II Interesting (to me, at least), the Mustang rearend uses a panhard rod, just like the earlier Healeys (the BJ8 uses radius arms, theoretically a more modern design). Of course, the Mustang rearend is largely unchanged since it was a contemporary of the BJ8. I've got fat radials and a smaller-than-stock Derrington steering wheel so it takes some muscle to turn, but the Healey has, IMO, a better steering ratio than the Mustang's power steering. For a tight corner, I can grab the wheel with one hand and crank it, while the Mustang requires some hand-over-hand for the same corner. The Bullitt Mustang supposedly has a more "tuned" suspension than a stock GT, but the Healey with its original Armstrongs is only a tad harsher ride, and seems less affected by seams and grooves in concrete roads. And, although I haven't measured it myself, I'll bet the 60-0 stopping distance of my Healey with its Ferodo pads is at least a few feet shorter than the Mustang's (not noted for particularly good brakes, despite an "upgrade" from the standard GT's). Anyway, I was wondering if driving the Healey after driving the Mustang daily would make me feel like I was back in my father's Model A but, not to worry, the Healey is hardly a downgrade in driving experience. Yet another testament to how well these cars were sorted out--especially given the financial, technological and materials constraints--by Donald and Geoff more than 50 years ago.

I Bob, Common problem grinding into gear with the T-45 trans used in the Mustang GT 1999-2002 or 3, and more so with the TR-3650. Many have had theirs replaced for that same problem, only to have the new trans do the same thing in 5K miles. I tried varying amounts of friction modifier from 0-8oz in several oils including redline, amsoil, mobil 1, shell snythetic, and valvoline. There may have been others that I forget. The ONLY way that I was ever able to improve things in my T-45 or several friends TR-3650's was to use Royal Purple Synchromax oil in the gearbox, with NO friction modifier. I used to drag race mine a lot and hitting second without grind was always a problem, until I put that Synchromax in it. Much smoother. It took a day or two to really improve things, but right away the shifting was better.

The bid was under the reserve, so there was no obligation on either my or the seller's part to do anything. He made me an offer after the auction ended, which wasn't a whole lot higher, but I decided against it. He mentioned at the time that he had a couple of other interested parties. I guess that they did not pan out. As the auction says, the car is located in Savannah, GA, USA. It would require someone to work on it with good woodworking and panel beating skills. Maybe someone near Savannah could look at it in person and report back to all of us. Since then, the 3000 with 13,800 original miles on it came on the market and I bought that. I will not be bidding on this car, so you won't be fighting me for it.

It should ooze or seap out of the holes on the rockers-it will take a minute to get up there. It should not shoot out. Set the motor up to factory spec on timing and the carbs Put the plugs back in and start it--keeping an eye on the guages, you are supposed to run it for 20 minutes at 2000 2500 RPM, I had the hood off and put a big fan in front of mine to keep it cool. You can tinker with the carbs and timing a little bit while you have it going if needed. If things don't seem right in any way of course abort the 20 minute run. The 20 minutes is once again for proper cam break in which gets some splash lube at the higher than regular idle RPM. Nothing like that first start up for the feeling of trepidtion and hopefully pride and relief when it all goes and sounds like it should.

A large parking lot with food vendors and port-a-cans, literally across the street from our entrance and seats. After the race the traffic is terrible so plan on tailgating for an hour or two. We got to watch all the NASCAR car haulers pull out as we munched on fried chicken and beer. After the race we head south to Louisville.

They were a little slow on the shipment, but the price was right. With the dollar up against the pound, it's probably a better value today. I got the main harness and headlamp pigtails delivered for less than the going price for just the harness from suppliers on this side. Quality was excellent. The bulb sockets under dash will have to be spliced for correct, however, but that's apparently pretty standard. Fit was perfect- I laid it out next to original, and it all lined up. The rear chassis harness braid stripe color was off- you may want to confirm your colors with them. My only gripe- customer service gave me the runaround for a couple of weeks. I'd still deal with them again, though.

I see an argument that there is no aileron, but there clearly is. What I don't know is if an Extra300 has a full wing aileron like in the video or not. Freeze-frame at 49 seconds just before he cuts the power and you can clearly see a full-wing aileron deflected as far left as it probably goes. Further, as a pilot, I think the other control surfaces support the possibility that it's real. I've looked closely for a change in scale with the background and I can't find one. Also the engine noises are consistent with an Extra300, which can sound a lot like an RC due to quick response and a limited muffler. The other argument is that the plane is level when it lands and there's no way that could happen. It looks to me (again at 49 seconds) that cutting the power would in fact cause the nose to drop dramatically. The full left aileron and full left rudder would cause a roll in the correct direction. If it's real, though, it's a miracle all that combined to land the aircraft on its wheels. The odds of somebody doing that intentionally (or in a repeatable fashion) I'd say are next to nil. On landing, the plane would definitely bounce forward and the pilot would have to work hard to keep from flipping it forward as it appears nearly happened. Also, the wing is still clearly missing after landing. You can make out the wing root with appropriate holes for control lines and the shadow is missing on the ground as well. As the plane comes back onto the pavement, you can also see the foot peg on the left side of the airplane that the pilot would use for egress. If it's an RC, it's a very detailed one. Unfortunately, the cameraman loses center as the aircraft turns away from the crowd, but that is an action a responsible pilot would take if he still retained his wits as would have to be the case in order to survive this in the first place. If it's fake, kudos to the creator, for an amazing video including lighting, sound and a very accurate model airplane. But I've personally seen an Extra300 hang in the air on its propeller, and then push forward to resume normal flight, so despite the critics, I'm still leaning toward real as well as a both a good and extremely lucky pilot. Careful, nearly frame-by-frame review of the video itself. And my experience as a commercial pilot (albeit with zero aerobatics experience)." _______________________________________________ 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@autox.team.net Tue Nov 4 17:45:37 2008 From: bspidell@comcast.net (Bob Spidell) To: "Healey Mail List" Date: Wed, 05 Nov 2008 00:44:53 +0000 Subject: Re: [Healeys] UNBELIEVABLE PILOTING, Response Part 1 http://tinyurl.com/6qtaj3 -- *************************************************************** Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net '67 Austin-Healey 3000 '56 Austin-Healey 100M *************************************************************** -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Len and/or Marge Hartnett" > This may be belaboring a non-Healey item, but when the Daves both said the > video was a fake, I tried to find a confirming report on the usual hoax web > sites using the Subject title.

Actually, it was painted by hand with a brush at the factory, so to be "concours" you need to see the brush marks. The correct oil fill cap is the metal one with the wire lanyard. Yes, the choke cables were both covered with a black plastic shield from the splitter block bracket on the firewall to the cable bracket at the carb air filters. Later valve cover labels were stick-on decals rather than the riveted design of the earlier labels. Original radiator caps (7 psi) were silver zinc plated with a large brass button in the center.

The priest looked up from his book and answered, ''I am the Father of many". The boy said, ''My Dad has 4 boys, 4 girls and two grandchildren and he doesn't wear his collar that way!' The priest, getting impatient, said. 'I am the Father of hundreds', and went back to reading his book.

I would be a little concerned that the 40's are a touch small for your engine. You would be fine at the bottom end but might find that top end suffers if the engine can't get the air Mass that it needs. Given that you have gone to the effort of porting your head to increase the VE of the engine, it would be counter productive to restrict air flow in the carb area. Ideally, I think you will find that you might be more successful with DCOE 45's with 34 or 36 main venturi's. If you are not racing, go with the 34 as you will have better bottom end torque and vacumn. If I recall, the DCOE 40's were recommended for the TR6/TR250 engines which have a smaller displacement. All this being said, I would not give up on the DCOE 40's (especially if the price is right). I would just investigate the availability of main venturi's available for it. You really need a venture of 34mm. Any less than that and I think you will have some trouble. Do the Carbs come with intake manifolds? The suitability of any particular Singe Runner Carbs like Weber is calculated based upon the displacement of the cylinder it is serving. For example, the individual cylinder displacement of a 2.9litre engine is 490cc or about 30 cubic inches......Weber produces a chart that calculates the main venture size recommended (at peak rpm - 6,000 for the AH). Based upon this chart, you should have a main venturi of 34mm. On a side note, you should have a look at the sizes of the jets and air correctors as they will likely have to be replaced if not suitable for your car. There are some good books that address the Weber carbs 1) Weber Carburetors by Pat Braden 2) How to Build and Power Tune Weber and & Dellorto by Des Hammill 3) How to Tune and Modify Carburetor Performance by Forbes Aird and Malcolm Elston. On the plus side, because your engine is basically stock, the initial setup will be pretty easy.....Jets, correctors etc are all pretty well identified.

The Mustang has a Tremec TR-3650 5-speed transmission which seems to be regarded as a decent, if not good modern manual unit. Although the Tremec has (presumably) better gear spacing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremec_TR-3650_transmission) and a much shorter throw, I still sometimes get some grinding when shifting, usually going into second. On occasion, I'll get a seamless shift in the Mustang; however, in my BJ8 I never have any problem getting from gear to gear (except going into first at a dead stop, but that' a different story). Maybe it's because I've got 25 years' and 80K miles' practice in the Healey, but the Healey gearbox holds its own once you've gotten used to it (you certainly can't shift as fast, but the Tremec requires some timing and pausing to hit the gear perfectly as well). Granted, the Mustang isn't exactly the epitome of modern sports car design, but it's no slouch and it's interesting how well the Healey stacks up in overall driveability against the much more modern car (the Mustang's 4.6L V-8 is a gem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_10_Best_Engines). Probably because it has more than twice the HP, is only about 50% heavier than the Healey and comes from the factory with sh*tty tires, the Mustang is much more unpredictable in a corner. I believe the Healey has better weight distribution, despite the lump in front of the firewall. Interesting (to me, at least), the Mustang rearend uses a panhard rod, just like the earlier Healeys (the BJ8 uses radius arms, theoretically a more modern design). Of course, the Mustang rearend is largely unchanged since it was a contemporary of the BJ8. I've got fat radials and a smaller-than-stock Derrington steering wheel so it takes some muscle to turn, but the Healey has, IMO, a better steering ratio than the Mustang's power steering. For a tight corner, I can grab the wheel with one hand and crank it, while the Mustang requires some hand-over-hand for the same corner. The Bullitt Mustang supposedly has a more "tuned" suspension than a stock GT, but the Healey with its original Armstrongs is only a tad harsher ride, and seems less affected by seams and grooves in concrete roads. And, although I haven't measured it myself, I'll bet the 60-0 stopping distance of my Healey with its Ferodo pads is at least a few feet shorter than the Mustang's (not noted for particularly good brakes, despite an "upgrade" from the standard GT's). Anyway, I was wondering if driving the Healey after driving the Mustang daily would make me feel like I was back in my father's Model A but, not to worry, the Healey is hardly a downgrade in driving experience. Yet another testament to how well these cars were sorted out--especially given the financial, technological and materials constraints--by Donald and Geoff more than 50 years ago.

The nice part is that all the consumable parts are available from your local NAPA auto parts store... the exceptions are the custom bits we made/developed to mount/install the injection, i.e. distributor, injector blocks, fuel rail. The challenge on this type of installation is to have harmony in components and then "tune" the computer for the specific engine. The good news is that the Austin Healey 6 cylinder seems to LOVE the fuel injection! I'm tenatively planning on putting this on a dyno late Nov. so I could/should have hp/tq figures then.

I was over a year into my conversion development when the AH Spares efi package came out... but a big difference is that the AH Spares package LOOKS high tech (visible injectors on top) and I my design objective was stealthy techology whenever possible and hide the injectors. So I wouldn't have been a candidate for the AH Spares efi package although it does look well thought out..... as you would expect. The MegaSquirt unit is fine but we chose not to go that way since Ric was extremely familiar with tuning the GM ECU which is very flexible if you know what you're doing. Thanks for the questions.

Two questions: Have you considered the AH Spares solution? I wonder how it might compare - I have never heard of anyone with it, but from what I saw it costs prohibitive amount of $$$$.. Have you (or anyone else) considered using something called MegaSquirt (http://www.msefi.com/index.php) on a Healey?? >From what I know, it's a freeware solution of ECU. A lot of the vintage Volvo people use it.

Please respond to Dave at the email copied above. Best--Michael Oritt ------------------------------------------------- I am trying to remove the overdrive unit from the gear box. I have removed the adapter to gearbox nuts and the adapter to overdrive nuts with no help and in addition the when releasing the overdrive to adapter spring tension studs the two stayed together. Is there any other thing that has to be done to remove the overdrive unit? I did notice that the end of the output drive shaft was peened over like it had been pounded on by previous work done to it. I have also cut all around the flanges with a razor blade to break the seal of the gasket and there is about a 1/16 gap at both flanges with no further movement.

I did have a couple thoughts. I agree with Alan about heat concerns on the fuel rail. Slow traffic on a hot day will bake it and the rally vent probably won't do much when the car isn't moving. Maybe consider adding a heatshield? I was also curious what you did with the SUs. I think you said the CV pistons were removed? Did you fill that cavity where the piston was? If the cavity is still there, I would think it would cause a lot of turbulance in the airflow. It could cost you some horsepower or maybe even bring the peak power further down the RPM range. If it was me, I'd probably sleeve the venturi. Just some idle thoughts on a cool project.

The first turn small sports car. This was a running Bugeye that was disassembled to restore its body from the ground up. The body was restored but I now have no time to put it back together before we need to demolish the garage. The body is original as well as most of its parts. It is painted in its original "Old English White" color with a glossy finish. I was able to track down rare original parts including the original chrome hub caps, steel rims, dash, Armstrong shocks, and too many other parts to be listed. This was a California car and has no rust problems. The engine, suspension, and transmission are all here. All original parts were saved including the interior but there are tons of new parts from Victoria British still in their packaging. Between the original purchase, body restoration, and parts, I've put over $7500 into the car but will part with all of it for $5000. Its a great place to start. The body is in perfect shape. All you have to do is put it together again and you'll have a true classic. I'll throw in about 10 restoration guides and books specifically about the bugeye. You will need to pick up the car in San Jose. _______________________________________________ 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@autox.team.net Tue Nov 11 07:58:45 2008 From: "Freese, Ken" To: "Richard Pratt" , Date: Tue, 11 Nov 2008 06:58:17 -0800 Subject: Re: [Healeys] BJ8 Foam seats Been there and done that with the foam hole drilling bit.

Weight, height and comfort level are all variables. I cut my holes from the bottom of the seat maybe 2/3 up through the foam (since the foam is tapered). I ended up making about 15 to 20 small holes. One problem I had was the windshield chrome was right in my eyeline. I'd suggest not cutting too close to the top of the seat or it may feel lumpy when you sit. I weigh about 155 and am 6' tall if that helps. Cheers, Greg -----Original Message----- How deep should the holes be? Are they all the way through?

You can bet your bottom dollar (pun?) that the new foam will, also. I replaced my foam a few years ago. My eyes were level with the top of the windshield the first time I sat on them. I did not cut any holes. The new foam has now compressed with use and the windshild frame no longer obstructs my vision. I think that if the holes are cut, pretty soon your seats will be too low and uncomfortable again. I am only speaking from my experience.

She went to the front door of the first house and asked the owner if he had any odd jobs for her to do. 'Well, I guess I could use somebody to paint my porch,' he said. 'How much will you charge me?' The blonde quickly responded, 'How about $50?' The man agreed and told her that the paint and everything she would need was in the garage. The man's wife, hearing the conversation, said to her husband, 'Does she realize that our porch goes all the way around the house?' He responded, 'That's a bit cynical, isn't it?' The wife replied, 'You're right. I guess I'm starting to believe all those dumb blonde jokes.' A short time later, the blonde handy-woman came to the door to collect her money. 'You finished already?' the husband asked. 'Yes', the blonde replied, 'and I had paint leftover, so I gave it two coats - no extra charge.' Impressed, the man reached into his pocket for the $50 and handed it to her. 'And by the way', the blonde added ...

You asked for pros and cons, so here goes: CONS: - The car is no longer 'original'. This can be un-done, though, if you or a future owner wants - Conversion to negative ground is pretty much necessary. This is easy, reversible and well documented - Installing the alternator induced all manner of ideas for the car and extra work to plan and implement the ideas, such as: -- Volt meter / ammeter or both -- Power port for cell phone, GPS, etc. -- Stereo / radio -- CB radio [VERY useful for multi-car driving events] -- High mounted third brake light -- Fog / Driving lights on badge bar -- Extra stop lights in rear -- Extra fuse box [located where old voltage regulator sat] -- Extra circuits to/from the new fuse box -- Review / planning of current draw to ensure all the above can be accommodated with the new alternator PROS: - No worries about running out of electricity, given the high output of the alternator - High reliability - Access to replacement alternators at any NAPA or equivalent auto parts store [if the above-mentioned reliability doesn't materialize] - No worries about using any modern accessories - No worries about mistakes when charging or jumping the car with a modern battery charger or negative ground car - Headlights are brighter than with generator I hope this helps!

I have taken 3 pictures showing it here http://picasaweb.google.com/Volvo1800S/Restoration I have noted the following: - the car has been repainted to red from Old English White in 80s - I seem to have 5mm of filler on the edge of the fender (as on picture 3) - The original? paint is ON the filler - the door/fender bodyline seems to be going slightly upwards where the 2 meet. And this generates few questions: - has the filler been used during the factory process? - how should the bodyline of this place look like? - would anyone know what happened here??... Can someone mail me pictures of this spot & the bodyline?

I have used mid year range MGB fuel gauges (without any voltage regulator) in BJ8s and they work very well with the original sender. Because they use a bi-metalic strip system rather than the electro magnet they don't suffer from the wibbly wobblies that the Healey ones do and they look almost identical although the needle is thicker; something that can be improved with judicious use of a magic marker!!!

The more exotic/expensive ones tend to age and break down over time to the extent that they eventually leave more of their own dust on the car than would naturally accumulate without them. The covers I am looking for are primarily for indoor covering. They are light in weight and blow off easily. They do not, in my experience, deterioate noticeably over time, and are excellent dust covers for indoor (garage) use. The ones I have are called Silverguard, made by Rally Manufacturing in Florida. I have not been able to locate/communicate with them (Googled) and am afraid they may be out of business. Do you or anyone out there know if/where these "Silverguard" covers may possibly still be obtained?

A generator will not cover the load at night when the engine is idling and the lights, wipers, and heater are on. If you are running driving lights and use them for a long period of time at night there is not enough output from a generator to cover the load and it will eventually go flat. A generator will last a long time as long as you do not over tighten the fan belt. As for polarity if you install a alternator you will need to convert to neg ground. The advanatges you will have with converting is you can install accesories such as power supply for a cell phone, stereo.

In one race there was a spectacular accident involving an AH 100 that rode up over the rear wheels of a Ford V8 Special, launching itself into the air. Thankfully no one was injured, but egos were bruised. I have a bunch of low res photos that I am happy to share, but they will have to be emailed direct. So if anyone is interested let me know and I will send. I don't have the time today to send multiple emails so if you want to see them send me an email. It's almost 9am Friday here in Sydney and I will send out a email to all interested in approximately 6 hours time or around 3pm which is think is 8pm Thursday on the US West Coast.

I'm sure someone out there has the answers. 1. On a drive with ambient temperature about 40 F, tachometer was reading low. Whenever the turn signal was turned on, the tach needle would drop to zero when the turn signal flashed, then bounce back up. Same thing would happen when brakes were applied and released. The problem seemed to disappear when the engine warmed up. Since the turn signals, brake lights, and tachometer have a common power source at the green wire connections to the top fuse, I recommended that the owner look at these connections. Everything seemed to be O.K. there. I suspect an internal tach problem, but wanted to get some input from the list in case there is something I'm missing or someone has seen this problem before. 2. Anyone know what the free distance is on the BJ8 rear leaf springs? Thanks!

So he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When he returned, he told God, 'Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not. God thought for a moment and said, 'Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion.' So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time. When the angel returned he went to God and said, 'Yes, it's true. The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good.' God was not pleased. So He decided to e-mail the 5% that were good, because he wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going. Do you know what the e-mail said? Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either. ____________________________________ _Get the Moviefone Toolbar_ (http://pr.atwola.com/promoclk/100000075x1212774565x1200812037/aol?redir=http://toolbar.aol.com/moviefone/download.html?ncid=e mlcntusdown00000001) .

It gave me good service, but my 20 mile commute in city traffic burned it out fast. Just after I got married I traded it for a Jaguar XK140 Drophead. The car was a disaster. Quality control was not a concept the Jaguar motor company recognized. A stroll through the parts books showed that they never did decide how the car was supposed to be manufactured. My new wife was patient and when the family grew to four it was traded for a station wagon. Little Louis grew up and said "Father, why don't we get one of those cars like you used to have". Thus my return to an MGBGT. When I got it my wife, remembering the XK140, said that if ever bought another Jaguar she would divorce me!. I holding that as a get out of jail card.

I didn't have any success with the glazing strips provided by Moss. They would not swell properly to grip the glass. I gave up and took my glass and frames to the local glass shop.

You have to take up the slack on the shoes first before putting the car on the road. I am sure this is your problem - you are pumping up the brakes which pushes the shoes to take up the slack to the drum because you haven't adjusted the shoes yet. If that doesn't fix it, try bleeding the brakes using a ezibleed kit (best way to bleed a difficult system), starting L Rear, R Rear, L Front, then finally R Front.

They would build the bodies by test fitting and matching fenders and doors with shrouds until they found ones that fit pretty close. It was an imperfect job and they often had to weld or lead fill spaces to get gaps to fit closely. Each 100 was hand built and test fitted at Jensen - no two are the same as far as the dimensions go. Of course, over the years these cars have been repainted and often factory lead filler is removed or replacement panels are bought and the gaps are then refilled using bondo, which is MUCH safer to work with than lead filling, although lead filling is far more preferable from a restoration perspective. All of these 50's era British cars have these sorts of gap problems and unfortunately work just needs to be done on the panels to get it to fit up properly. If you have access to a panel beater and a good welder in Poland, make good use of them. Luckily here in Hong Kong there are a couple of very talented welders and panel beaters who can build up gaps with welds and beating for quite reasonable pricing. Now to your basic question - the body line between the door and the rear fender should absolutely be flat. Something is quite wrong with your car - this is poor work done here by the guy who painted the car previously. If you click on this picture of my BN1 and click on the magnifying glass to get a closer look, you can see the door top is flat, and slopes downward slightly into the rear fender: http://picasaweb.google.com/Healey.Nut/HealeyNutSCarStuff#5108199445914221410 You can see how the aluminum cockpit moulding fits on my door - compare that with the cockpit moulding in your pictures and you will see a big difference. Ignore the fact that my door is not fitted very well on my car, but the panels are in fact in the correct shape, just mounted a little off. That's my little Kristinka in the passenger seat: Cheers, Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '64 BJ8 On Thu, Nov 13, 2008 at 4:50 AM, Tadeusz Malkiewicz wrote: > Hello, > > I think I have begun to take my BN2 apart..

Several things can contribute to a soft pedal and tracing and eliminating them can be very time consuming. I would recommend gently clamping off each of the 3 brake flex lines with vice grips and then trying the pedal. (Be careful not to damage the hoses by clamping too tightly). With the hoses clamped off the pedal should be rock hard. If it isn't there is air in the master cylinder or brake lines. To get all the air out of the master cylinder it often helps to raise the front of the car slightly. Once you have achieved the hard pedal hold the pedal down while someone releases the vice grips one at a time. Often you will find that one has more effect that the others so you know where to concentrate your efforts I have on occasion resorted to removing the front drums and shoes and then bled the fronts after clamping the wheel cylinder pistons all the way into remove any air from them. Another contributing factor can be shoes which are not correctly arched to the drums. If you have new shoes on the car it may take some time before you can get a good pedal without having the shoes accurately matched to the drums. Good luck.

There is no sagging on the doors, and there seems to be no filler on the top of the door. I have no idea at this point why do the doors go up at the end, but hope my body guy will know... :-) He is the oldest one in town, and in the very early days of his career he was able to make a fender for a VW Beetle from a straight sheet of metal..

Your body guy may be very experienced, but I think he has no experience with doing Healeys. What I can suggest is to bring the car for getting the worst problem areas sorted out to a real Healey expert. I can suggest a Healey body artist in Holland. Have a look to http://www.toonspitters.nl/ . He lives close to the German boarder, so not too far from you, speaks English language and his prices are reasonable (not comparable to polish workers I know). He did two of my cars and also the car of Jack Aeckerlin, who is also active in this forum. Toon also does Porsches and other cars with difficult body work, but he also says Healeys are the most difficult cars he knows as regards body work and getting the gaps and lines of the car right. And getting a misaligned car right is a bid more difficult than starting from scratch. Just think about it.

November 2008 23:44 An: 'Greg Lemon'; 'Alan Seigrist' Cc: healeys@autox.team.net Betreff: Re: [Healeys] AH 100 bodyline Alan, Greg, Rich, Many thanks for your help & comments. I may be wrong, but I think the reason for all the filler is the fact, that the rear fenders were replaced by the PO by original fenders he bought in the 70ies from Sport & Classics for horrendous amount of money. They were probably original, sold as spares, so not really usable on any car assembled in the factory... :-) The other problem there is, is that the body guy who did this job in the 70s has actually welded the rear fender to the door shut pillar instead of using the screws... There is no sagging on the doors, and there seems to be no filler on the top of the door. I have no idea at this point why do the doors go up at the end, but hope my body guy will know... :-) He is the oldest one in town, and in the very early days of his career he was able to make a fender for a VW Beetle from a straight sheet of metal.. So, although it's dim, I see a light in the tunnel: with help & knowledge from the list I am confident I will get the job right.. Many thanks for all help!..

He will graph the distributor to suit the modifications (if any) made to your motor. I am running these on my BN1 & BT7 (both modified) with good results. They are available either as points system or electronic. I run the points version for simplicity & preference having had bad experiences with electronic in the past.

It may have just lost its electrical connection. You can physically override the solenoid by pressing the little rubber button on top of the solenoid, which will throw the switch and engage the starter. Try that first and get back to us, let us know what happens. Alan '52 A90 '53 BN1 '64 BJ8 On Fri, Nov 21, 2008 at 7:45 AM, Jorge Garcia wrote: > I think I killed the starter om my BJ8 today.

They also might have been "done" last week using parts that are commonly available. This car is NOT a LeMans by any stretch of the imagination: The carbs appear to be the original HD4's, there is no CAB, the hood is wrong (and terrible), etc. Further the interior (seats and door panels) are just wrong. I don't know where the seller got its statistics but there were approximately 5000 BN2's made and I am quite sure there are way more than 500 of them left. Maybe there is some subset factoid for BN2's with wheels and valve covers painted the same color but I am not aware of that number. Best--Michael Oritt 100 LeMans **************One site has it all.

Most do not see that kind of environment anymore, so after they are repaired with a good paint film between them, they aren't likely to corrode to any significant extent. The corrosion process is galvanic, between the steel and aluminum, and requires moisture for the electrolyte. I used an anti-rust primer called "Corroless" on mine back in the '80s and have no evidence of rusting since. I believe Eastwood has the same thing under the "Rust Encapsulator" name, which is what I am using now. Any good similar paint would do the same thing.

Whoever built this car up doesn't know anything about Healeys, let alone the Lemans bits. All I can see that could be remotely considered Lemans is the bonnet strap and the wrong louver pattern on the bonnet, possibly a larger diameter antisway bar. Much of it looks like they simply bought things from a catologue and stuck them on the car. Most things can be changed and made right but the irreversible is that the louvers on the bonnet are totally wrong. The pictures showing the rear inner dogleg area seem to have a riveted plate?? fitted in there. The interior is all wrong in that it should be blue, not black. There are terrible full pleats in horribly over stuffed seats, there's no arm rest and the doors sport set of Amco style door panels with elastic pockets right out of the '60's. The Armacord is running the wrong way on the rear deck behind the seats, and under the seats. Armacord should be on the propshaft tunnel on a BN2, not carpet. All the Armacord is bound wrong. It looks as though the top doesn't fasten to the body behind the doors. And what's with the blue vinyl covered dash? White painted wheels? The engine colours are wrong as are a lot of the engine bay pieces. On the other hand this car appears to me to have been carefully done as far as body panel fit and finish. It looks like somebody perhaps ran out of funds or whatever, and handed it to somebody to slap together and sell quickly. Divorce requiring quick settlement, death, who knows, but to me it has all the signs. I would love to have the opportunity to correct all the details on this car. It has the potential of being an excellent BN2. FWIW, the chassis number listed would have a built date of approx. late Sept. '55, so it's a relatively early BN2. If anybody knows the car I'd like to obtain (for the Registry) the rest of the numbers and who the owner is (or will be).

I used a team of 4: 1 inside the engine bay and later inside the car, 1 on each side to guide it and 1 controlling the hoist. Here's a picture of step one. It will be a lot easier since you apparently have the wings and shroud off.

In the Healey Blue and Old English White paint scheme of this particular early BN2 of late September '55, the dash would most certainly have been a midnight blue with dull silver inset. The interior would have been dark blue with light grey piping on seats and arm rest.

We also have a kind of crank triggered system which takes also care of the load of the engine and compensates (if you wish) for different conditions driving through mountains (barometrical sensor) and different temperatures (engine and environmental-wise). The system is relatively new and we have an information brochure only in German for the moment, but will start to translate it into English in a couple of weeks. If you have interest in it, please give me a shout and I'll put you on our list for the brochure. You'll also have the opportunity to have your AH fuel injected with this one (we offer a kit that keeps the original look with the carbs), but this may take you too far off of what you want.

It's easier with two, so one guy can lift the tranny tail over the "radiator support" sheetmetal as you push the hoist rearward, and then push down on the tail as it passes under the firewall. It's helpful, as stated, to protect any new paint from the 700 lb monster swinging in- namely steering column tube, scuttle areas, throttle linkage/firewall.

Note that I removed the gear box lid for extra clearance (this removes the stick shift extension which stick up higher) and covered the opening with tape. I also kept the motor mount brackets off and re-installed them just before setting the motor into final position. Then, because of a rear seal leak problem it was necessary to remove the gearbox through the interior. Re-installing the gearbox was a bit of a pain. There isn't much clearance around the bell housing and getting the motor and gearbox aligned/level so the two could be mated up was a challenge. I ended up getting it done using levels, a transmission jack and applying some pressure with a piece of 2x4 wood on the back of gearbox.

With the rubber cap sometimes you have to push it pretty hard. If you hear nothing then it means something is wrong with the starter or the electrical connections are bad. Its also quit possible the bendix is stuck on the ring gear. A couple of raps on the front of the starter with a small hammer might dislodge it.

Over the past year, several major tire discounters have been found to be selling tires that have been in inventory for years. This is a scam, since radial tires are considered by most experts (in and out of the industry) to be unsafe for use after five years minimum and eight years maximum (depending on which expert you consult). So if you buy a tire that is already three or four years old, you're only getting the equivalent of half a tire. Similarly, if you have radial tires on your Healey that are more than five to eight years old, even if they have an external appearance that looks relatively new, they are susceptible to delaminating without warning, which is not a good thing. It's a good thing to check the dates on the tires on your Healey if you weren't the one to buy and install them, to make sure that they're still safe to drive on.

I bought my last from a Shell station. Usually only one pump has it and it is well marked "for small engines and classic cars only". Better to call first because some of the stations are small and have changed hands.

But, in case you do not know, County engine bearings for our 6 cylinder engines are absolute garbage. It's not just my opinion. As a racer for over 25 years, I have first hand experience with good bearings and the poor quality of County bearings. I also have had the benefit of the collective experience of many of my Healey racing buddies. They all agree - garbage! Reticular tin - made in Israel. If you need good tri-metal, lead-copper, bearings (rods and mains), I have ACL bearings (made in Australia) in .010, .020 and.030 sizes. Call me before you buy dangerous bearings.

The LEDs I used are VERY bright, much brighter than even Halogen bulbs... almost too bright. The LEDs available from Autolumination are still the same, and there are some new ones available - I'd probably use the Eagle Eye 5 bulb if I did the job now (then I wouldn't have to use the 100 ohm resistor): ******** I thought y'all would like to know that I have done an even better thing with this reflector conversion. I have been watching LED technology for some time and I have found a company that makes a very VERY high intensity 1157. Trust me these lights are as bright, if not brighter than halogen bulbs... and they're better because they last forever and they have "instant on" functionality, plus the bulbs never get hot. This is how the set up looks before final assembly on my early '64 BJ8: http://picasaweb.google.com/Healey.Nut/HealeyNutSCarStuff/photo#5108189838072380146 I bought the LED from this company: http://autolumination.com/1156_1157.htm The LED I bought to use with the reflector was the Eagle Eye II 1157 in red (red is usually the brightest type of LED). I also bought the 1157 sockets from the same company. As you can see in my picture above I installed a ground wire at the bottom of the socket, as the light will be isolated from ground when mounted. I drilled a hole in the rubber mount using a 25mm carbide tipped hole drill bit. The Eagle Eye II light fits very nicely in the hole and will not fall out (slight interference fit). The only thing with these LEDs are the running lights and the brake lights are almost the same brightness (out of the box), so I put an inline 100 ohm/5 watt resistor on the running light circuit and now it all works perfectly. The light draws enough current so that a standard flasher will still work with this bulb. So, now my reflectors have running lights as well as brake/turnsignal lights. It works really well! FYI I also bought the Eagle Eye Tower 1157 (red) and put that in the standard Lucas turn signals. Just one question - one of the reflectors has silver paint on it. Any recommendation for getting rid of the liver paint so the light will be brighter? Will Tamaya hobby thinner work?
