For BJ8s in California, I was once told by my old mechanic that they were installed on the part of the centre console just under the radio past the bend, so that the lighter faced straight up. In my case, I didn't want to drill anything so I just got one with a little bracket and mounted it under the dash right next to the centre console, using one of the centre console fixing screws that was already there..

I have a 2 lb. Thor copper/hide hammer I've been using for years around the shop, but using ONLY the hide end on the knockoff ears. The hammer has the mass and therefore the dead weight clout to do the job properly. The hide end eventually mushrooms out to the point where it needs to be replaced. That has averaged about one new one every 15 years or so, not a bad investment for a $35 tool. Of course the copper end is also very useful around the shop, being able to again utilize its heavy dead blow weight to drift punches, chisels and the like.

Fellow Healeyoids, I have been having a hell of a time trying to get my rubber seal installed from the bottom of the windshield to the body on my 63 BJ7. Mind you, I have three different windshield frames that I have tried. As well as three different seal suppliers. They are Moss, AH Spares and Healey Surgeons. Moss seemed to be the closest fit. I read in the archives the Healey Surgeons is the best but I disagree thus far. I have tried to "pull" it through after judiciously lubricating the channel as well as the seal and tried three different lubes in three long different attempts. Windex, silicone seal and lithium spray grease. I have also tried to wedge it in just a little at a time with a thin screwdriver. This worked better than "pulling" the pig-bitch seal through. I have also tried to razor cut a small portion (1/16th ") off of the "T" in the rubber seal to no avail. It then would not stay put. As far as difficulty of operations is concerned, I put the rubber vent seals in and it took about 10 minutes. That was super easy. This is one for the hardest things that I have done on a frame up restoration. Harder than getting the door gaps to look good. I have two Healey buddies coming up this weekend and I will again attempt this futile endeavor with them. That is, if we can find a sober enough moment. My buddy is turning 50. Anyway, I'm looking for a detailed description of how to perform this seemingly impossible task without seriously maiming or killing anyone. Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Hi Randy, When I did my BT7, I lightly lubricated the seal with WD-40 and pulled it through. When I got about halfway, I had to sort of push-pull the thing a bit at a time, but it was relatively easy. Mine was supplied by Bob Yule at the Healey AutoFarm. Could the channel in the windscreen be crimped anywhere? Sounds unlikely. My only issue was getting the lip to lie flat against the shroud when the windscreen was installed - I still have one little hump that I caress down flat whenever I pass by the car!

Randy: You are quite right - it's one of the ugliest jobs on a convertible Healey. No great mysteries - best bet is to feed it into the groove rather than wedge it in with a screwdriver. Too much chance of damaging the rubber. Sometimes you can 'tweak' the lead-in to the groove sligtly to avoid snags. And make sure that the corner bracket screw heads are not too high. Here, we do it with 3 strong guys (and a lot of beer) pushing and pulling. Like Marek, we have had good success with WD40 as a lube, but you need to keep the whole channel continuously wet as you go. And of course your hands get the stuff on them, which is lots of fun! It's simply a lot of scut work, but the key (for me at least) is enough help. FWIW, we have been using seals from AH Spares for the last few years, and once installed, they seem to work as well as any. On the other hand, you could do what Ed suggests, but then the guys at the auto glass shop would get to drink the beer instead of you and your buddies. Your call. Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

Randy, I just installed the bottom seal onto a Phase 1 BJ8 assembly and it went quite well. It is identical to your BJ7 seal arrangement. Unfortunarely the BT7 roadster seal Mirek was describing is a totally different animal. Anyway, I had the distinct advantage of having the old intact seal sitting on the bench in front of me. I was able to note that the ends have been trimmed back at about a shallow 30 degree angle to the T edges, leaving a length of the front flat flap extending beyond the ends of the windscreen posts by about another 4". These 4" flat flap ends will be tucked around the end of the windscreen post when installed on the car and will be trapped and held there by the windscreen post to front fender seal. I began by using a bit of liquid soap and starting one end of the T portion into the slot about 5" from the extreme end, the forward edge of the T going into the slot first, and carefully pushing the rear edge of the T ino the slot with a blunt (so it won't cut the rubber) flat blade screwdriver. I worked about 4 or 5 inches of the T into the slot and then slid it down to the extent of the channel. With the 30 degree angle cut already done, the end of the T will slide along and butt into the post section. Then it was a case of lubricating and working the rest of the seal into the slot. At about 12" from the other end I stopped, checked and trimmed the other end for final length and angle, then worked that end into the channel about 5" away from the end as I had done at the first end. With a few inches of it installed, it was slid down to the end, leaving the last few inches in between to be carefully slotted home. You should be left with two flat end flaps and the complete seal in the T channel. Hope this helps.

One thing to check before you start trying to install that seal is that the channel has not been damaged anywhere along its length. It is often difficult to tell that it has been crushed at some point. I ground the head of a large flat head nail so that it would just fit into the groove and tap this along the entire length of the groove before starting to install the seal.

It is very important to keep this maintained (don't ask how I know this!). Do not put any forward or reverse pressure on this when tightening, as it can crack you OD over time - just a gentle slightly firm compression of the bushes on the frame, even front and back, is ideal.

Years ago, I bought (also on Ebay), a photo of Kirk Douglas taking delivery of his new Austin-Healey 100 in July 1955. Does anyone know if there is a connection between the two? Did he fall in love with the Healey while shooting the movie, and then go buy one? Thanks for your thoughts.

Rick, I believe Fourintune had a complete car and both Geoff Healey and Roger Menadue inspected it determining it to be NOJ391. A replica was built but that car is definitely advertised as a replica and the original complete Fred Hunter car is now owned by the Hillingers.

Gordon Wilkins driving NOJ 391 back to the chateau from scrutineering was hit by a vehicle driven by a drunken French peasant. Wilkinss wife, a passenger in the car suffered severe damage to her mouth. Luckily Stirling Mosss father, an excellent dentist, was also at Le Mans and he carried out some brilliant repair work. NOJ 391 was seriously damaged and required a complete rebuild in time for practice; this was not helped when all the teams mechanics were struck down with a severe gastric complaint due to a combination of French food and Napoleonic sanitation. This car was already cleared through scrutineering and the story goes that major bits were transfered to another car with official seals in place. _______________________________________________ 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 Wed Dec 3 13:23:37 2008 From: Norman Nock To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2008 12:22:52 -0800 (PST) Subject: [Healeys] BN1 side curtain I have received many e-mails for these early type solid curved plastic side curtains in good restored condition , my lowest price I will take is $700.00 Will have photo's this week end ,if you are still interested send me an email and I will send you photo's next week ...

Although I only have one bj8 that I totally restored I have experienced installing this seal at least 4 times on it before the job was completed. I, like Rich, took 4-5 inch sections and pushed them into the slot, then moved on to another section starting at one end and continuing all the way around. I then trimmed as Rich described leaving tails to be tucked around and underneath the wings. They sit up there without any adhesive except for the door molding (draft excluders). Here's my method: Tuck one side of the T strip into the track, then use a window glass tool (the one with a rounded smooth end and a wedge looking sharper other end) to press the other side into the track, use the sharp end to do this. You will notice that one edge goes in easier than the other edge on the straight areas. You sometimes have to give the gasket a little stretch to thin out the T as you push it in with the sharp end of the glass tool. When you get to the curves you have to reverse your tactic and tuck the opposite edge into the track first, then press the other side in with the glass tool. You have to pinch the gasket in your fingers and angle it to get the first side started and hold it like that to expose the T while you press the other side in. It only takes me about 10 minutes to do this now by myself. Lubricant helps it go in easy but it also pops out easy when you don't want it to. If the ends come out during the placement on the scuttle you have to take the windshield frame off the scuttle and just lightly stretch the gasket and tuck it back where it belongs. If you get it in place and let it set overnight before installing to the car it will conform better and maybe not come out as easy.

UPDATE! Fellow Healeyoids, First of all, thanks to all whom replied, especially those who took out the time to write such lengthy descriptions like Rich and George. Anyway, I got the seal in. Lots of soapy water. Lots of cussing too. It was actually too slippery at the end and the ends of the seal kept coming out through the curve, especially when it kept going over the little cut-out for the screw. I used a heat gun which helped to mold it in and evaporate the water and soap solution. I hope that it stays in tonight. It seems like there are multiple ways of accomplishing the task and everyone sues slightly different techniques and tools. My question is what to do with the extra rubber at the ends. I didn't quite understand from the descriptions of what to do with the extra. Should I nip it off flush with the edge of the frame so that the outside chrome posts but up against the ends or fold it under and install the four screws and tighten the outside post down on the rubber seal?

UPDATE! My question is what to do with the extra rubber at the ends. I didn't quite understand from the descriptions of what to do with the extra. Should I nip it off flush with the edge of the frame so that the outside chrome posts but up against the ends or fold it under and install the four screws and tighten the outside post down on the rubber seal? Thanks again! --------- Randy, Here's a picture showing how to trim the rubber seal (remove everything above and to the right of the red line). http://www.loftusdesign.net/bottom_seal_cut.jpg Then after installing the windshield assembly to the shroud, the extra trim drops into the wing/door gap and then is stuffed forward into a small opening at the very top inside surface of the wing. At least that's where I stuffed mine to keep it from being loose every time the door is opened. That might be difficult to follow so if you open the left door, look/feel above the top hinge to the very top right corner of the panel and you should find a gap between the inner wing and the vertical panel. Voila.

Just after he fixed it to his car he drove to Long Beach for a business appointment. On the way he was stopped for a red light and a somewhat antiquated American car with and equally antiquated driver pulled up along side. The old duffer in the Detroit iron surveyed the car and asked, "Build it yourself?" Thinking the question was directed at the fiberglass top, my friend answered, "Why, yes, I did." Whereupon this old fellow said, "Well, next time you build a car, it will come out a lot better and only take you half the time."

Typically, fasteners are not brittle below 180 ksi ultimate tensile strength. Grade 5's have an ultimate tensile strength of 120 ksi and a grade 8 fastener has an ultimate tensile strength of 150 ksi. This is why brittle is a relative term. Nearly all fasteners are considered ductile except some made from PH 15-6 Mo, 17-4 PH and 17-7 PH. " More: http://www.rockcrawler.com/techreports/fasteners/index.asp Generally you can't go wrong with a grade 8, unless it's made in China of course....

I want the car to look mostly stock but I will most likely install newer seats and possibly a roll bar. Are there are any completed 100-4 cars in my area that I could look inspect?

It seems that set off a storm that I MIGHT be recommending stainless or Grade 8 or that Healeys ORIGINALLY HAD ANY STAINLESS or Grade 8. NEITHER IS TRUE, (IMHO). I also agree that Stainless is less than grade 5. I only said where I get my bolts and screws, and that is true, Mcmaster.com. We have an account there for my business and have a KEEP FULL program with Bowman Bolts where they come in every two weeks and replenish our shelves with bolts, nuts, screws, cleaners, etc. We do use stainless quite often as we occasionally build medical devices and products for water and wastewater treatment systems which require stainless. We have Bowman come in once per year to train our people on the proper use of fasteners. BTW, if you are not familiar with Bowman, look on the side of ALL NASCAR Cup cars and the Bowman logo is there. They use Bowmalloy, a grade 8 +, fastener. Sorry to bomb, just MHO.

Bottom of follower - Ave. 0.936" dia. = 23.77 mms Top of follower - Ave. 0.935" dia. = 23.74 mms Reason for removal - the engine was emitting quite a loud knocking/clicking sound from the inner depths directly related to the engine rpm. Replaced with new cam followers and pushrods, set the tappet clearance to the factory recommended 0.012" when the engine was quite hot - problem solved. The base of each follower had become fairly well pitted which I believe is quite common in the 6 cylinder Austin engine.

Normally nut torque is specified for "dry" threads. If a fastener is lubricated and then torqued to a "dry" specification, it can be overtorqued even to the point of failure because there is less friction between the lubricated threads to resist the torquing process. That is, the tension produced in the fastener will be higher at the point where the specified torque is reached on the torque wrench. If a torque is specified for lubricated threads, it will be stated as such.

You can put a crimp-type connector on the end of your coil wire--removing the threaded collar--but if you're using stock stranded copper wire cables the connection won't be reliable. Unfortunately, I don't know of a good solution to this problem, and I've looked. Bob Michael Hartfield wrote: > My BJ8 has a coil wire that is threaded when it enters the coil.

I should have mentioned that I joined the Yahoo Modified Healeys list as well, I just haven't introduced myself there. My father transferred his subscription of the Wheelspinner to me since I have the car now. He still owns a '59 BN4 that is basically stock. I will definitely be visiting Stockton to meet the Nocks in the near future. I have joined the Sacramento United British Sports Car Club, but will check out the Golden Gate Club as well. Since my 1 year old daughter comes first, I expect this to be a long build process so I won't be driving the car too soon. I will get information to Rich about me and the car.

I had wear in the upper bushing that is just bored in the aluminum case itself. My fix was to bore the full length oversize and use two bronze bushings with the same OD and different wall thickness to allow for the two shaft sizes. It worked great. Contact me if you are thinking about doing this. I'll fill you in on the details. It turns out I'm missing a piece. Does anyone have a "locking plate" for a BN-2 steering box? It's the strap that locks the adjusting bolt on the top of the box. (part #29 in the Moss catalog) I sure could use some help here.

This is for a BN2, I don't want to take any risks here as I believe they are absolutely NLA. The input shaft is out of the trans. I believe there is just a bond between the nut and shaft from 52 years of immobility and some oxidation, the shaft was not really rusted, the box was taken out of commission with a broken OD, stored under a workbench here in dry California. The transmission has all signs of low mileage, just a couple nicks on the 1st/reverse (which I'll clean up a bit). I used heat, PB blaster, WD 40 and I usually repeat this process, coming back to it every couple of days. I am considering putting the input shaft in the clutch/engine but I don't want to break anything. I am replacing synchros, needles, thrust washers, layshaft, balls, springs, etc so I like to replace this (original) bearing as well. The front bearing surface of the input shaft, which goes into the pilot bearing has no pits or nicks but has some discoloration from oxidation. A machine shop could turn this to the next available ID of the bushing. But then this is out of spec, do I just clean this up?

I can only suppose the chrome on the bumper of the fellow you spoke to must have been thin or inferior in some way. the chrome feet are rubber tipped where they rest on the bumper. As for the holes in the hinges wearing thin, the only wear possible would be each time the hinges pivot, and I can't imagine that being too frequently.

When my bodywork was done by Phil an expert in Healeys, he would love to rant about shoddy reproduction boot hinges and the excessive play, and crap construction. He therefore said it was better to have mine repinned by his machinist. Unfortunately even though they looked brilliant and came back with no play, we found they need some play as the shrouds are probably not true and need some play in the hinges to accomodate any variance in the curvature of the shroud and true parrallel'ness' of the hinges. With no play the left hinge would pivot on opening and the pointed shroud end dig in and mark the paint. Hence the hinges going back to be re-re-machined with a bit more play:) and the shroud repainted. So perhaps not all those chinese reproductions are 'crap' and they knew they needed some play!

In addition to what Michael wrote, another point. If you kneel down at the back bumper and look upward across the boot lid you will see that the lid slopes off to the right and left. This slope tells you which hinge goes on which side - that is, so as to keep the hinges sort of level without slope to the outsides. Keith > Keith, > What defines a left or right hinge?

The "retrospective" "proactive" tests are probably the most important as far as real-world effectiveness; for explanation see http://www.mcafee.com/us/local_content/white_papers/threat_center/wp_imuttik_vb_conf_2001.pdf This also shows the errors that you will get in the ratings if you don't test a huge number of viruses & other malware in your comparison. Recently on the Healey list there have been several free & paid antivirus programs discussed. At av-comparatives.org, free programs tended to show more false positives, resulting in lower ratings. It was mentioned on the forum that this site is starting to consider use of system resources by the AV programs (which was mentioned prominently in the Healey list discussion) , but I didn't notice this yet in the comparison summaries. Bottom line: many AV programs are acceptable, some are better, none are perfect. Over the years there is much random & systematic variation, so you need to consider results over several years. http://www.av-comparatives.org/forum/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=798 My take from personal experience: The risk of hardware failures may exceed the risk of viruses & malware, but to deal with BOTH you'd better be darn sure to do full system backups on a scheduled routine. Some people will learn this the hard way - & some won't learn. regards Richard Thrift _______________________________________________ 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 Mon Dec 8 23:20:21 2008 From: Al Malin To: Healey List Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2008 01:19:27 -0500 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Antivirus comparison OFF-TOPIC -Don't reply to list.

We drive this car through the year when streets are dry. Yesterday was out to get the oil changed and it starts running quite rough. Cancelled the choke-seemed a bit better, but not running on all four. On the way back it got progressively worse. I'm thinking a plug wire is not right, though I checked them at the oil shop. The car did not like any work and sort of "pinged" if strained at all. Got the car back in the garage (1.25 mile round trip downhill there,up back) and sort of idling and saw WATER droplets coming out of the tailpipe! Blown head gasket?

The frame/chassis is totally stripped and is on a rotisserie. Once blasted and primered I need to do some repair work, driver's floor, left footwell, rear trunk floor, and both shut pillar face plates (where door latch and front of rear fenders attach) will need replaced due to rust. The frame itself seems very solid except for the top of the left rail from the motor mount to about the center of the drivers seat, which is rusting from the outside and appears thin. Kilmartin makes a u-shaped frame repair piece that is supplied 4 feet long and is designed to fit inside the frame rail once the very top (or bottom if desired) of the frame is removed. That is the area that is 3 inches wide that has the weld bead. The repair piece has 1 inch legs that fit inside the frame and then whole thing gets welded in place. Question, how and where should the chassis be supported when we cut out the top of the rail at that location? I would definitely assume we would not leave it on the rotisserie! Would supporting the bottom of the frame in four spots, two near the front of the car, say between the motor and suspension mounts (on each rail) and two near the back of the x-frame be sufficient? Should we be concerned with warping or twisting of the chassis as the old piece is cut out and the new piece is welded in? If so, how do we prevent this short of rigidly attaching to a frame machine which we do not have? We will use a MIG welder and certainly take our time to minimize any heat. Anyone have any experience with this repair piece? Suggestions? Are we in over our head with this repair?

Fellow Healeyoids, I have a simple question regarding the rear seat on my 63 BJ7. I have a complete leather interior kit from AH Spares. I have a woman who does upholstery on old cars and she is going to cover the front seats, but Im trying to tackle the rear seats by myself. I have already done the rear squab and it looks nice. My question is, how thick is the foam padding, (if any) that is used on top of the rear seat pans. The leather kit already has some thin foam sewn on the backside of the leather. Probably 3/8 or so. Also, how dense is the foam, is it like landau form that is used on the backs of the uppers of the front seat? I was thinking that it cant be too thick like < or less otherwise the leather wont come around the sides of the seat pan nicely. Thanks in advance!

Randy, Well to start with they never used leather on the little rear seats. They used a very thin vinyl and it was padded only very slightly (less than 1/8"). Therefore you are already probably starting with too much thickness. I hope the woman who is building up your front seats has some idea of what they are supposed to look like in the matter of form and contour. I just had the opportunity to inspect a totally original BJ7 yesterday, and after 45 years the rear seats give the impression of having no thickness or padding at all except in the middle pleats, though what was there was a very thin cotton gauze. The pleats were laced down through little holes in the seat pan to keep them down. The old original vinyl is almost paper thin.

Check the simple stuff first, you mentioned the choke, choke can stick on, which will make the motor run worse as it warms up and doesn't need the choke anymore? You can push the jets up on the bottom of the carb with your fingers to check this. You said not to mention "Cr*****ed H**d" so am trying to give you other options, given what you have described could be a carburation or iginition problem too. Also you may want to pull the plugs, most any car fix it book will have pictures of what a plug should look like if the motor is running right or wrong (if you don't have that knowledge internalized already). Oil filter is on the same side as the distributor, could they have knocked a wire loose or something when working on the car?

Rich, Thanks a lot for the info on the rear seats. I'm providing the woman upholstering my seat with pics and the Moss video. I figure if it is too thick or thin, I can always adjust by removing or adding foam to the seat. I have done everything on my car except these seats and pull the trigger on the paint gun. I just can't work with leather or cloth. I can't even make a bed or fold a t-shirt worth a sh*t. I will use nothing on the rear seat other than what is there currently. My older brother had an all original 1963 BJ7 (#19669) he bought used in 1969 for $425. As a kid I used to sit in the rear seats a lot. They were vinyl and very thin as I recall. I didn't know if they just got that way from use or were already that way. Thanks again. Your help is incredible in putting my car together.

Randy, Well to start with they never used leather on the little rear seats. They used a very thin vinyl and it was padded only very slightly (less than 1/8"). Therefore you are already probably starting with too much thickness. I hope the woman who is building up your front seats has some idea of what they are supposed to look like in the matter of form and contour. I just had the opportunity to inspect a totally original BJ7 yesterday, and after 45 years the rear seats give the impression of having no thickness or padding at all except in the middle pleats, though what was there was a very thin cotton gauze. The pleats were laced down through little holes in the seat pan to keep them down. The old original vinyl is almost paper thin.

Mike - None of this suggests you have a blown head gasket. Typically a blown head gasket will result in a HUGE amount of visible vapor clouds coming out of the tailpipe and the exhaust will have a sweet antifreeze smell, either that or if you pull your dip stick the oil is white and foamy. Water dripping from the tailpipe is normal in all Healeys. It happens when the exhaust pipe cools down after being driven, then as the air cools, the natural vapor in the air condenses on the inside of the exhaust then sits in a little pool in your pipes & muffler. Next time you start the car, the water is pushed back by the exhaust force and forced out the tailpipe, dripping out. My guess is you have some sort of fuel or ignition problem, with the pinging I am betting fuel. After running the car, when it has trouble, pop the tops off the float chambers and see if there's fuel in there. If one of the float chambers in low on fuel or mostly dry, then you problem is either a weak fuel pump or if you are lucky a blocked float jet.

Mike, I'm going to disagree with Alan on this one. It is indeed likely that the head gasket has "burned" though between two cylinders, thus two are being pressurized simultaneously caused very pronounced pinging. Alternatively a sticking valve will cause similar symptoms. OTOH, a stuck float will cause a drastic loss of power, but not pinging, so I'll go with my picks given your description.

The kit I bought *only had padding on the seat bottom*, not the sides because you don't want padding sewn in there because it makes it hard to stretch it properly.

Currently I'm running side exits that were jerry rigged by myself..I took the full BJ8 (late model) falcon system and simply exited after the first resonators. Sound is a little coarse and load for everyday use. The engine is heavily modified +200hp 3.2litre. Does anybody out there use Denis Welch Side Exits or Stebro or any other types.

If I may rank them, they would be in the order: 1. rustfreeness 2. no bodywork, or body work which was done professionally the above 2 should result in: 3. no bondo no the car :-) 4. originalty 5. completeness Once these are there, the value of the car is at a X level. If the car is good, original, well done, the original modifications will take the value of the car up. But if the car is tatty, M modifications will not help.. This can be often seen on eBay, where M modifications on rougher cars do not really add to the value of the car, but on good cars can raise the value. That being said, I am not sure the value of the M upgrade using modern parts (probably of about $10k) will increase the value of the car that much.. Also, each modification that is not original takes this value down, but modifications that are according to the original specs take the value of the car up. I am not taking obviously about concourse cars aiming for 100% originality - they would probably fall into a different class...

If you still have you original radio or can get your hands on one or a good looking vintage, a company called S & M Electro Tech will put a modern am/fm radio in the original case. The only thing different in looks will be a small LED light on the face for FM mono, FM stereo, and AM. We had them add a jack for our ipod so there will also be a very small toggle switch that you can mount anywhere. The jack will be out of sight so we put in a cord that stays in the car and we just plug in the ipod. S & M first put the jack on the side off the radio and it interfered with the speakers we put on the side so they nicely moved it to the back for us. You will want to tell them were you want the jack. We have had our Healey for over 40 years so it has been through all the musical formats changes with us; AM radio, AM/FM, 8 track, cassette, sony 10 CD changer in the truck: but this system is the best.

As an investment, the risks may be far greater than the benefit/rewards; this is especially true in the current economic climate. If you wish to make the modifications for your own enjoyment, that is an entirely different situation. For details of the Le Mans modifications, you may wish to spend some time on Larry Varley's fantastic Austin Healey 100 Restoration Site. There you will find a letter [ provided by Patrick Quinn ] which outlines the Le Mans engine modifications [a pdf copy is attached] as well as a 16 page Special Equipment and Tuning Instructions for the Austin Healey 100 BN1.

This had a hole in the top area of the bell housing that lined up with the marks on flywheel. The gearbox casing had timing marks around this hole. A small cover, held in place with two screws, was fitted to cover the hole to keep the dirt out. For this marking to be of use the flywheel had to be fitted with these marks at TDC. This hole did not appear on BN1 or BN2 gearbox casings so there were no accurate timing marks on a 100. An imprecise pointer was added to the timing chain cover of later engines but the corresponding mark on the edge of the crankshaft pulley was not always to be seen so it is hard to say when the both timing marks first appeared together. If a flywheel; although balanced before fitting to the engine has been balanced again when fitted to the whole engine then it is important that it goes back to the same place rotationally. If not a good overall balance can turn into an imbalance. Have you removed the flywheel after full engine balance and if you did, did you replace it in the same position?

Tadek, The LeMans cars had big bore side exhausts. There were a lot of modifications, that did not make it to the kit, i.e. all aluminium body, different larger tank, aluminium bumpers, no louvered bonnet (only for 100S cars), no soft top. 100Ms were not at all close to the real LeMany cars. For me a 100M is still nothing else than a bid of a modified ordinary 100 and I still do not understand this glorification of the 100Ms. It is like you order the sportiver option of a car. And even the modification at the Healey factory (Cape) was done in the style of a backyard garage. For me the 100M is highly overestimated by some enthusiasts. A 100S is a different car. Jaguar did similar with the XKs and fitted high performance cylinder heads as an option. But there is not at all such kind of different rating. I know other may think different. But I just see it from the technical point of view.

Yes there were loads of mods done to the "works 100s" that ran at Le Mans that aren't on the street version. One big value point on the "M" model is that while all regular production cars were built by Jensen and Austin, the 100M cars were actually handled through the Healey shop at the Cape. That makes them a bit special to some. _______________________________________________ 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 Wed Dec 10 14:18:45 2008 From: GSFuqua1@aol.com To: e-wilkins@cox.net, Healeys@autox.team.net Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 16:17:31 EST Subject: Re: [Healeys] Speaking of the M modification.. I have been following this thread with some interest because of the discussion in "Value Added" if one does the LeMan or M Kit NOW Vs if it came from the factory or can be documented back to a specific dealer add on when it was originally sold. Granted the total number of either "Factory M's or Originally Added Dealer M Kits" is somewhat debatable it still falls into a specific category which has a value assigned to it by the various companies that do that sort of thing. i.e. N.A.D.A. for Classic Cars, Sports Car Market, etc. It seems that most of the discussion has been that adding the M kit now doesn't add value or if so very little (Except as it may be for the current owner) and that IF it adds value it would not be enough to cover the cost of the M kit. Some of that has to do with where & when you buy the parts & who does the work BUT there is a specific category listed for stock BN 2's, one for Converted M's (Doesn't matter when) AND one for the truly Certified Factory M's. While I haven't looked at my books in a few months the last time I did there was over a $20,000. difference in the valuation assigned to a Factory M Vs a Stock BN 2 and there was about $10,000. difference between a Stock BN 2 Vs a Converted M. (again, not matter when the kit was added). This would seem to differ from what many have indicated. While it may be a "Moot" point to many, as they never intend to sell their cars, it does indicate there is value in adding the M kit from a "Market" view point in addition to what the owner may get from driving a slightly upgraded BN 2. In my opinion converted M's will NEVER equal what a Factory M is worth in the market (Nor should it!) but if the question is "Does adding the M kit now add value?" The market makers say it does. So as usual it boils down to a personal decision. Are you looking for value, improved performance or trying to stay Concours correct for your car? Value would only seem to matter if one intended to sell the car. The other two will always be a matter of personal opinion, of which, everyone has one. The biggest issue to me is that if one does decide to add the M kit now and then later decides to part with the car is should NEVER be represented as a true "Factory M."

Kenny: "I looked on the Nada site last week the 100-M was around $115,000. USD and the 100-S was Around $189,000 USD . the 100-S is way under priced " Here in Germany/Europe (perhaps except Switzerland) I think there is no way to sell a 100-M for $115,000. You would not find one to buy. But if you can show me a real 100S for sale for $189,000, I would ask all my friends to lend me money to buy this car.

'09. Meanwhile, the harness on a late BN4 after c.68959 will have the following: main harness black loomed with single white-thread diagonal tracer. The chassis harness (bulkhead to back of car) was black loomed with a yellow tracer. And while we're here, the early BN4 apparently had only a black loom with no coloured tracer. Only the sub harness feeding the wiper motor had a single yellow tracer on a black loom. Above has been taken from the 2008 edition of the Concours Guide.

Since some of the replies came to me alone and not the list, I thought I'd share the information.First of all, it seems that the fellow I talked to who tried to persuade me not to install one of these racks is the only person with negative comments about them. I even telephoned the person he gave his rack to (he said "gave"; the new owner said he paid $200 for it) and he thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. One reply came from a dealer who has installed about 15 factory-style racks with no complaints about chrome wearing off the bumper or wear in the hinge pin holes. He did say that no two racks seem to fit the same but the beauty of this rack is no weight on the trunk lid. Another respondent said that he had used one of these racks for over 5 years with no problems and highly recommended them.Two people suggested the Cape racks and both had them on their cars for several years. Although they are pricey one commented that the exchange rate is good at the moment. It might be good if you're an American but unfortunately I work with Canadian dollars. I got a comment from someone who saw the response about the Cape racks and he experienced paint wear under the rear attachments.One person suggested trying to find an Amco rack that mounted with rubber suction cups to which someone else commented that the suction cups were hard on paint. He also advised against the Amco permanent racks because they are a PITA.One person suggested the Holden factory-style rack. I checked and the price was good - little more than half the price of a Cape rack.Someone suggested I forget a rack and consider a small trailer.That's about it. Lot's to think about and, apart from my friend, nothing negative about the factory luggage rack.

The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, Invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and Sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were There with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since The electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and Instead asked that he come out to the p arking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, Turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, Where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but They wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was Installed. Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Semitic, and there Was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords. They haggled back and forth for about two hours, and finally agreed On $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max on the controls. So, now you know... P.S.

Mike - You can pull the dizzy from the engine but you have to make a note of the rotor position as the 100 motor's distributor is connected to the dizzy drive like most Detroit iron. The points and condenser for the Lucas DM2 dizzy is not a the most common Lucas set up, but maybe a NAPA will have it in their warehouse - only way to know is go and ask. that being said if you have a "short" in there, it suggests the condensor is bad (the points should be fine) - if this is the case.... any Lucas condensor should work in there, even if it doesn't fit exactly, it'll work. If you have a short in the distributor, you may also have a cracked cap - not necessarily a bad condensor.

Since some of the replies came to me alone and not the list, I thought I'd share the information.First of all, it seems that the fellow I talked to who tried to persuade me not to install one of these racks is the only person with negative comments about them. I even telephoned the person he gave his rack to (he said "gave"; the new owner said he paid $200 for it) and he thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. One reply came from a dealer who has installed about 15 factory-style racks with no complaints about chrome wearing off the bumper or wear in the hinge pin holes. He did say that no two racks seem to fit the same but the beauty of this rack is no weight on the trunk lid. Another respondent said that he had used one of these racks for over 5 years with no problems and highly recommended them.Two people suggested the Cape racks and both had them on their cars for several years. Although they are pricey one commented that the exchange rate is good at the moment. It might be good if you're an American but unfortunately I work with Canadian dollars. I got a comment from someone who saw the response about the Cape racks and he experienced paint wear under the rear attachments.One person suggested trying to find an Amco rack that mounted with rubber suction cups to which someone else commented that the suction cups were hard on paint. He also advised against the Amco permanent racks because they are a PITA.One person suggested the Holden factory-style rack. I checked and the price was good - little more than half the price of a Cape rack.Someone suggested I forget a rack and consider a small trailer.That's about it. Lot's to think about and, apart from my friend, nothing negative about the factory luggage rack. I'm leaning in that direction.CheersRick'59 BN4 - hopefully restoration will be completed in time to use a luggage rack next summer ___________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys You are subscribed as jwbn6@verizon.net http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ 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 Fri Dec 12 04:19:00 2008 From: jerry wall To: britishcars@shaw.ca Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 05:17:31 -0600 (CST) Subject: Re: [Healeys] Motor Mounts. only if you participate in concours !

Then Mrs. Claus told Santa her Mother was coming to visit, which stressed Santa even more. When he went to harness the reindeer, he found that three of them were about to give birth and two others had jumped the fence and were out, Heaven knows where. Then when he began to load the sleigh, one of the floorboards cracked, the toy bag fell to the ground and all the toys were scattered. Frustrated, Santa went in the house for a cup of apple cider and a shot of rum. When he went to the cupboard, he discovered the elves had drank all the cider and hidden the rum. In his frustration, he accidentally dropped the cider jug, and it broke into hundreds of little glass pieces all over the kitchen floor. He went to get the broom and found the mice had eaten all the straw off the end of the broom. Just then the doorbell rang, and irritated Santa marched to the door, yanked it open, and there stood a little angel with a great big Christmas tree. The angel said very cheerfully, 'Merry Christmas, Santa. Isn't this a lovely day? I have a beautiful tree for you. Where would you like me to stick it?' And so began the tradition of the little angel on top of the Christmas tree. _______________________________________________ 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 Fri Dec 12 15:47:55 2008 From: "rjhco" To: "'healeys'" Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 16:47:21 -0600 Subject: [Healeys] Tow bracket Does anyone still offer the rear tow eye bracket that mounts to the leaf spring at the rear fastener?

Hi John- My brother and I attended the 2002 Healey International at South Lake Tahoe. We were in my BJ8, Blackie, with the side exit exhaust. The muffler and side exit pipes were purchased from Hemphill's Healey Haven Ltd. in Baltimore, MD. In their catalog the system was described as a "Large Bore Stainless Muffler With Side Pipes" and was the same system that was available from the SC Parts Group which they described as a Bigbore silencer. I like the sound of the systems so well that I bought a second set with the larger 1&3/4" rear exit pipes. It is easy enough for me to switch from the side exit to the rear exit pipes. And I do alternate from time to time depending upon who is going to be my passenger. (The attached picture is the current look of Blackie after some cosmetic body work. I.e. wing louvers, openings below the grill for air flow to the oil cooler, removal of mirrors from the wings, and removal of the radio antennae from the right side of the cowl. Not sure that you can see the side exit pipes in this picture but they are on her.) **************Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.

Fasten it on to the hinges, using the bolts which fit through the hinges in place of the hinge pins. Put the little hinge pins in a small plastic bag in your hand-tool kit which you keep in your driver-side door pocket. Reverse the legs so that they go down and then bend outward to the rear, instead of going out to the rear and then down. You will discover that the legs will fit into the rear overriders, with their rubber feet resting against the inside of the overriders. The bed of the luggage rack will be slanted back, roughly parallel with the deck lid. Use a bungee cord to hold the luggage rack securely in place, running the bungee cord from the center of the rear of the luggage rack and hooking the two hooks under the bottom of the rar bumper. Now, pack your trunk, fasten the luggage rack down, and fasten your suitcase to the luggage rack. You're ready to go. When you need to get into the trunk, you will need to unfasten the bungee cord and lift up the luggage rack to open the trunk, but this isn't difficult. Normally, you don't need to get into the trunk until the end of the day, when you have the suitcase off the rack, anyhow. When you don't need the luggage rack, or want to remove it for the show, simply slide out the bolts at the hinges, put the hinge pins back in, and put away the luggage rack. That takes approximately five minutes. When you're ready to get back on the road, reverse the process; that also takes approximately five minutes. And, bottom line, no drilling, the luggage rack is not permanently in place, but when you need the extra luggage space, you'll be all set. Buy the luggage rack, try it out, and this will all become very clear. Cheers gary ************** Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. Try it now.

I know Marlene will appreciate hearing from all. At one time Dave was a prolific poster to this list and helped so many of us with all kinds of things. Though I spoke with him by phone a number of times and exchanged lots of emails, particularly about projects in which we had a common interest(installing NICAL hardtops on our 100's was one that was the subject of numerous letters, photo exchanges, etc) I never got to meet Dave in person. A few years back Gary Fuqua of Missouri, myself and Dave ( we all had similar 100's) had corresponded about getting together for a trip somewhere but it never came off. I regret that.

Every Sunday morning he would take his 7 year old granddaughter out for a drive in the car for some bonding time, just he and his granddaughter. One week in particular he came home sick, and on Sunday he was still battling a bad cold and really didn't feel up to going out for a drive at all. Luckily, his wife came to the rescue and said that she would take their granddaughter out. When they returned, the little girl anxiously ran upstairs to see her grandfather. "Well, did you enjoy your ride with grandma?" "Oh yes, Grandpa" the girl replied, "and do you know what?

Though I haven't tried it myself, I think your attempts to test the clutch by manually pressing on the fork lever may be misleading. There is a great deal of mechanical and hydraulic advantage exerted by the clutch pedal and master and slave cylinders, probably more than you can exert by hand with even a large pry bar. I have a new, uninstalled clutch cover and for a test I put it on a concrete floor and stood on the release bearing surface on one leg. My (nearly) 190 pounds only moved the bearing surface a sixteenth of an inch or so; even bouncing on the surface didn't cause much more movement. The diaphragm clutch in BJ8s is butt-simple and reliable; I can't think of any installation error that would cause it to not be workable (though, having said that, someone will prove me wrong ;). Since disengaging the clutch involves retracting the pressure plate, about the only thing that could cause a problem is something jammed between the plate and the clutch cover. Not likely, unless your mechanic left a screwdriver or wrench in there. Bob mailmaineguide.com wrote: > Can anyone tell me how much force is needed to manually disengage a clutch?

Gary, I had my waterpump rebuilt by Ted Schumacher at TS Imported Automotive in Pandora, OH (http://www.tsimportedautomotive.com). That was some time ago and I don't know if the service is still available from him, but you could check. I bought a spare rebuilt waterpump from Bill Bolton, so that's another possibility: tricarb@aol.com Steve Byers HBJ8L/36666 BJ8 Registry Havelock, NC USA -----Original Message----- From: healeys-bounces@autox.team.net [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] On Behalf Of Warthodson@aol.com Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2008 11:26 AM To: healeys@autox.team.net Subject: [Healeys] water pump rebuilder?

It is published by the University of Illinois Press as part of a series of sociological studies. Since it is an academic study it gets thick in some places, but has a lot of examples. One that I remember is the time the shop told Austin that a new car wasn't ready for release at the designated time. He said to begin selling it and let the customers find the faults! Arrogance was the problem. The founders of the industry were self taught men. They had no use for trained mechanical engineers. If one approached for a job they were rudely turned down. I'm surprised that Alec Issigonis talked them into the Mini. I used to be a product manager at Teletype Corp, which is long gone. NIH was the motto of the engineering design staff. If they hadn't though of it, it just wasn't going to be a Teletype product. The book also points out that these designers were good at patching what existed, rather than creating an innovative answer to a problem . When the new US bumper and emission rules came in the folks at MG just jacked up the car without changing the suspension, detuned the engine and removed one carburator. The result was a poor handling car with no power. That they were able to continue to sell the cars was a tribute to those who had gone before.

Safety hooks on the bonnet are body colour. 2. Rubber split bonnet rubbers are fastened on by split rivets with washers under the head going outboard with heads inboard, through the longer half of the rubber, through the shroud flange, the ends then being spread flat. The easiest way to do this is to begin with the rubbers turned completely upside down, installing the rivet and spreading it flat, then carefully turning the rubber around to right side up, making sure the outer half is eased into the shroud flange trough.

BTW, if you are building your car to concours standard I would spend the time to look for an OEM bumper and have it restored - the shape of the repros are visibly different, and cheaper build quality.

I have changed to right hand drive and had problems with the conversion; the throttle spring being too small for the throttle shaft and have had to emery paper the shaft so there is not too much resistance on the return action. Now on fitting the new type poly bushes to the old throttle cross shaft it has again gripped this shaft too tightly when bolted up underneath the gearbox aperture (the bushes were loose on the shaft until the brackets were tightened). Has anyone else had this problem? It will turn but I guess is far too tight for the return springs on throttle and carbs. How slack should it be?

The new teflon bushes are FAR superior, for sure, but may need to be reamed out sufficiently to allow for free play - your throttle shaft has to be free moving and loose otherwise your throttle will never work properly. The worst part of it all is once the motor is in you basically cannot access this shaft without removing the motor again! I'd recommend taking it out and reaming the bushes slightly, bit by bit, with a Dremel tool until the shaft moves very freely when mounted. You may have to iterate this step in and out of the car a few times until you get it right. The good thing is once you get it done poperly, you'll never have to touch it again.

I know I said that bigger is better, but 25mm is almost an inch. Any of these cables would be massive overkill. The 2AWG I used is approximately 12mm with the insulation on. That is slightly larger than a normal battery cable (about 10mm on my Land Rover). Remember that whatever you choose you are going to have to solder a connector on the end. I don't think battery cable ends come that large. The amount of material in a cable increases as the square of the radius so a length of 25mm cable will weigh as much as four equivalent lengths of 12.5mm cable. That might be enough of copper to make a decent down payment on a new wire wheel or something. If there is an electrical utility contractor around maybe they will have some cut offs ends you could look through, sometimes they will sell these for the weight of the copper.Good luck in your quest.Bill Lawrence > From: keithbailey5@bigpond.com> To: healeys@autox.team.net> Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:19:57 +1000> Subject: [Healeys] Electrical> > I have checked out the welding cable Battery to solenoid as suggested> however they come in different sizes> I am usure which size I should use> 25mm 333amp @ 30%> 35mm 416 amp @30%> 56mm 527 amp @30%> Which one do you feel would be the most suitable> > Keith> _______________________________________________> Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html> > Healeys@autox.team.net> http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys> > You are subscribed as ynotink@msn.com> > http://www.team.net/archive _______________________________________________ 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 Mon Dec 15 18:58:52 2008 From: Randy Hicks To: "Randy Dickson" Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:58:30 -0500 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Healey 1/2 car on Ebay Hi Randy, that Healey was a Factory 100M and was restored by Fourintune a number of years ago.

Mine also has a history, but not quite as amazing as this one. When I restored it (actually restoration was mostly done by Malcolm Jennings in Westbury NY) we found it to be almost perfect under the old paint. So good, that we left the original under coating untouched prior to applying new paint. The body required only repair of the right rear fender and replacing or replating most of the brite metal. The most amazing feature is that you get to really see how amazing my 63 BJ7 really was, compared to the cars of it's day. _________________________________________________________________ Suspicious message?
