If you just treat it like another gear and just touch the clutch when you change so it is not changing under full power it gives you a very quick change. I use it all the time this way in Tarmac Rallying and it works a treat. It's especially good if you have Sebring style gear ratios where you have a close ratio box and the o/d is 5th gear. cheers from West Oz John Rowe 1959 3000 ----- Original Message ----- From: "PG" To: "'Austin Healey'" Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 12:26 PM Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive works switch > The overdrive cars had the overdrive switch integrated into the shifter > knob. > > > > Did this switch by-pass the switch on the firewall that is tied to the > accelerator pedal.(to ensure overdrive only turned off when revs of engine > increase) or was it used. > > > > I've upgraded the accumulator piston and it would seem a waste to have the > response time of the overdrive impeded by the firewall switch. > > > > Comments? > > > > Thanks > > Paul _______________________________________________ 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 Sun Mar 1 20:47:44 2009 From: Alan Seigrist To: PG Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2009 11:46:18 +0800 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Overdrive works switch Paul - Yes, this rally switch typically bypassed the throttle switch but it would be very good practice to keep the R/1/2 gear cutout switch active on the gearbox, so that you don't leave the OD on in reverse by mistake.

The one tip I have is that HD6 bushes rarely (if ever) seem to go bad. Leak test the carbs and see if you even need to mess with them. If you car is running, and you can slow the idle down enough with the slow run valve, then you don't need to worry about them if you are getting smooth motion and good idle adjust.

So maybe after measuring you might find you don't need to replace the bushes?

Todd, the vast majority of suppliers actually have their products made off-shore, and not just auto parts. I just bought a fairly high end audio system made by Cambridge Audio, a small company that started up in Cambridge UK many years ago - all their products are now built in Asia. The only joy we can derive from this is that the more reputable companies still handle the design, material specification and QA/QC, so in my mind it is still betters to buy reputable brand-name components.

The 3 wires for the dip switch emerge from the main bulkhead harness almost in the middle of the bulkhead, engine side. The dip switch harness plugs in to the main harness and then proceeds along to the left side of the car (RHD car) running parallel to the main harnness and sharing the big double sized harness clip right beneath the fuse block. When it reaches the scuttle support member on top of the driver's foot box it goes down over the outboard edge of the structure and in through the grommet located in the inner corner just beneath the fresh air duct ring and vertically down to the dip switch. see pictures att'd.

Hi Paul - First things first - understand that there will be confusion on '54 BN1s because the cars are transitional in nature and were being switched from BSF fastners over to UNF fastners in varying degrees depending on when it was made.... Well, if it's 24 TPI that would be a 3/8" UNF fitting. 26 TPI will be a 1/4" BSF fitting. 28 TPI will be a 1/4" UNF fitting. There won't be a BSP fitting for any of the Healeys, it don't think. 1) This grease fitting is actually a fairly special fitting in that if you get a normal fitting there is no way to get a grease gun on it (no space). The original fittings were about an inch and a half long, and if I am not mistaken were BSF threaded for spiral bevel axles, and UNF threaded for later axles (I could be wrong on this though) - depends on what you have on your '54. Fear not, my friend, but this fitting is available off the shelf from our very favorite supplier in Stockton, CA. Go here: http://www.britishcarspecialists.com/pdf/2008RarePartsLowRes.pdf And scroll to page 21 and you will see what you seek at the bottom of the page. If you have an earlier BN1, fear not, you can order part # 831 as shown on this page: http://www.vintagemotorspares.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/hodge?opendocument&part=11 incidentally Tim Hodgkiss is fantastic and always sends orders out the same day he receives them, he keeps all this stuff in stock. At 1" the 831 is a little shorter than the original, but it should work. 2) Call BCS for this one (they should have it in stock, and know exactly which one it is), or Vintage will have the BSF ones if it is BSF.

Paul and Alan I can simplify this. The parts of the 100 that Donald Healey designed were all UNF because this thread by that date had become the British standard. However Austin designed parts, going back in a few cases to before W.W.II, were BSF. Therefore the engine BN1 gearbox, spiral bevel rear axle, suspension and hubs etc. were BSF. All chassis parts including such things as the grease nipples were UNF When BMC introduced onto the 100 the Spiral Bevel rear axle, the BN2 gearbox, the BN2 front suspension and hubs they had UNF threads. These major units having been designed for the A90 Westminster after W.W.II. If one uses this simple guide it will hold good for about 99% of all cases. It is also worth noting that some early Austin parts has B.A. threads. These were replaced later with 10-32 UNC threads. As you say the long rear suspension grease nipples are specials. As a matter of interest I have had made extension that will take a normal small UNF grease nipple.

I had not attached the clutch line to the bracket at this point so you can still see the angle needed for the job. A little more than mid way up the bulkhead you will notice a hole in which a metal clip inserts (not one of the standard hair pins but one that slips in the hole and wraps around the line) and attaches the clutch line to that side panel. It is a straight shot down and forward from the top of the firewall almost to the frame rail where there is a U shaped bend and turn in order to mate up with the bracket and flex hose to the slave cylinder.

When was the last time you bought a pair of shoes? For work I usually wear a pair of black leather business shoes. These days in Australia unless you want to spend a zillion dollars most are either made in India, China or Fiji. They have composite or man-made soles which tend to split after about 6 months. So when in North America last August I was determined to find a pair of full-leather shoes. The sales assistant in Macys, San Francisco was helpful, but wanted to sell me a pair of composite shoes made in China. Eventually we were in Kamloops, Canada and wandered into a shoe store. I walked out with a pair of full leather shoes made in the US with the brand name of Dexter. So be thankful that I helped the US and Canadian Balance of Payments. Think of how far worse your economy would be if I didn't buy those shoes.

She took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator. He pointedly advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for the crabs staying frozen, mentioned that he was a lawyer, and proceeded to rant at her about what would happen if she let them thaw out. Needless to say, she was annoyed by his behavior. Shortly before landing in New York , she used the intercom to announce to the entire cabin, "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans , please raise your hand?"

SAS ( San Antonio Shoe). These US made (family owned co.) shoes changed my life when I discovered them 20 years ago. My congenitally malformed foot has only hurt occasionally- and I can actually walk for a few miles- thanks to them. I recommend the Time Out model for general use. Granted, none are very dressy and all have their (superb) soft soles. I rotate three pairs, need a new pair about every two years. The uppers are near to glove leather, wear forever & keep looking good if you care for them (leather dyed through). (Their care products are almost as good as the shoes- if you get the shoes get the polish & scuff coat also.) Cost about $130 on sale. (For around $40 they'll resole them and send them back looking new -I only did that once as I want them to stay in business.) Highest recommendation. Pete Pollock BJ7 N.

Back in early 2003 Moss Motors announced a recall on Big Healey kingpins sold between June 2000 and April 2002. This recall affected kingpins that did not have forging markings. [see attached recall announcement & notice] A concern would be getting one of these kingpin sets over eBay or similar site. If you were to attempt it yourself, getting a kit from a reputable supplier is best. Then you may have some type of recourse.

The seal in the M/C that closes the line to the reservoir sometimes fails causing those symptoms.  When it fails, it's usually sudden.

Make darned sure you've properly bled the brakes before tearing into anything, though.

When you replace the pump, then float jets get stuck open because the new strong pump is pumping crud into your float chambers, causing sticky jets causing fuel overflow. You should drain and thoroughly wash out your gas tank. Put an inline fuel filter as well.

However, what do people do about parts that are pitted after priming. The part is the outer sill panel between the back of the wheel well and the A-pillar. It is structurally sound but has some pitting in the vertical face. Do people skim this with a little Bondo, use high build paints of something else?

Scott I don't have the exact details to hand for this particular part but you might be interested to know that on early gearbox gears and maybe later ones the part number on the item is not necessarily the service part number. Often the part numbers are close. The number on the part may be a casting or blank number or perhaps a gear without bearings fitted. Stages of manufacture would have individual part numbers with a number for the total assembly. If it were only the total assembly that was serviced this would be the number in the parts book. The number on the part may still be a blank part number.

In general use a (large) fuel filter between tank(s) pump(s) and one between pump(s) and the carbs. Also consider fitting a fuel pressure regulator between the last fuel filter and carbs. Another step is fitting an electrically operated fuel valve (e.g. as is used in most old types of LPG /dual fuel installations) in the fuel line. This prevents fuel drainage from the tank into the engine when the car is parked nose down. I do not know if your Healey's suffer from this, but mine does. Connect the valve to a circuit that is switched on by the ignition switch and also fit an extra manual switch on a hidden place as an extra anti-theft devise.

The floats in the old carbs are prone to pinhole leaks.  When this happens the float sinks and gas pours out of the carb.  Unfortunately some of the replacement floats can have the same problem.

In order to properly seal, some sort of goop is going to have to be used which will inhibit ones ability to make future adjustments to the wheels. The only time I've had tube problems was when I was trying to run a low profile on a 15x6" ww. Tubes continually blew due to being of higher profile than tire which causes tube to overlap on itself and resultant friction causes blowout in short order, no matter how much talcom is used. Searched everywhere for low profile tube but not even Shelby Goodyear could help me out so I went back to a higher profile radial w/tube which was fine because a low profile looks stupid on these cars anyway.

Okay, all you guys with the 6 cylinder = cars do in=20 fact have that aforementioned black hole inside the bottom portion of = the=20 diagonal brace, but Mike here states he has a BN2 which does not have = the same=20 black hole. Hundreds have a somewhat different black hole to contend=20 with.
I would suggest checking inside the = bottom of the=20 engine mounting bracket welded to the side brace and the frame. If he = dropped=20 the nut from the left side of the car, it likely dropped down beside the = front=20 air cleaner and into the inside area of the mount, coming to rest at the = bottom=20 where it sits on the top surface of the frame. That's just inside the = boxed area=20 where the brake master cylinder is mounted. I've included a photo to = Mike of a=20 stripped down project car minus engine or any other items that = would=20 obstruct the view.
It's going to take a flexible magnetic = tool=20 to retrieve that nut.
Best of luck Mike, and let us know when = and where=20 you find it.

Gentlemen  and List,

Red Car was restored in 2001 prior to the 50th Anniversary Meet in Lake Tahoe.  At that time I installed Dunlap 15 X 6" Stainless 72spoke tubeless rims from BWW.  Hand mounted and balanced were tubeless Dunlop SP Sport 4000, 205/65R/15's.   I have had zero problems with either the rims or tires in several thousand miles.

During the years tires kind of dry out. They get harder and harder and loose grip on the road. This effect is worse on wet roads or even on the snow. If you recognize this, it already might be dangerous, if you have to stop e.g. if a child runs across the street. = Little bit less dangerous but nevertheless a problem is grip driving through a curve. Especially if you have to brake or want to accelerate. And again it is worse if it is wet. And hard tires will increase wear on the axles and the steering system. Most of the automobile clubs recommend not to use tires longer than four years after production. They might look fine but got old due to physical and chemical process whether you use them or not.

Apparently, no owner of the car since you owned it has been a member of one of the two national Healey clubs or has seen a reason to identify its VIN to the clubs or the registry. With the information you provide, I will enter the car into the record with the note that you are interested in its whereabouts, and I'll notify you when it turns up if you keep me informed of your current contact information. In an effort to be aggressive about identifying the cars that still exist, I have developed many resources around the world to help me. If the car is still out there, eventually it will be identified. I do have your current BJ8, 32990, in the registry and I thank you for the information you provided for it. Happy Healeying!

Bill and List, I think many people are likely to see more emails bounced for exceeding the list's maximum size because of the recent changes made to the list. That change means that if the poster's email to the list contains html, it will be sent, with html, out to members of the list. Previously, the html would have been stripped and sent out only in plain text. When someone replies to that email, some email programs may automatically use html to compose the reply sent back to the list. An html message will almost triple the size of an email for 2 reasons: 1) Because of the presence of html markup (that stuff that you don't see in your email reader, but tells the reader what fonts to display, bold, italics, etc.) the size of the email has to be larger. Depending on how badly the email program produces html (and some are REALLY bad), a simple one paragraph email might exceed the list's maximum size. 2) Every list message sent in html contains TWO versions of the message: one in plain text, and one with html formatting. Obviously, this alone will almost double the size of the message and make it much easier to go over the list's size limit. If Mark (the list maintainer) really wants to keep html messages, he should increase the maximum allowed size of a message.

The tires have very crisp molding detail in both the markings and the treads, and even come with a red dot opposite the valve location to assist in balance for the tire installer . They are performing very well on the car. I really didn't buy these in preference over any other brand, or just to save a few bucks - I just didn't have much choice in our size range. Incidentally, I read where Ford Motor company released a contract last year to China for a couple hundred thousand Kumho tires to be used on the Taurus. The company must be meeting at least OEM quality.

Keith, I have been reading the tires et al disciussions - all the way from 'rubbis= h' to 'great' - on the same tires. I would make these comments: 1. Each driver has a personal impression that cannot be taken literally. 2. Todays technology produced good tires in most cases that are reliable. 3. Tires vary in wet grip based on rubber composition of course. There ar= e side marking codes which define A, B, C grip capability - personal choice= trade off of miles vs grip for your dollar - you cannot get both. 4. Size and profile are a personal choice of looks - for a late 3000 my ch= oice [based on what is available] is the 185x15. I am not a low profile fa= n - personal choice. 5. Replacing a set of tires at 10 years old is not necessary providing the= y are not worn by more than about 50% and have not sat idle for years in wh= ich case the tire shape will have morfed somewhat. Like all mechanical thi= ngs use it better than storage. True for engines - tires are no exception.= I ran 20 year old well cared for tires [stored in garage, not left in sun= , correctly inflated, inspected regularly] on a Ferrari with no trouble. A= t the speeds of road Healeys the stress on modern tires in minimal. 6. Avoid very narrow tires on very wide rims, and avaoid very wide tires o= n very narrow rims. 165/175 on 4 1/2 inch, 185/195 on 5 inch rims, 205 on = 5 1/2 or 6 inch etc. 7. I think we all wish there was a GOOD 175x15 tire out there - I could no= t find one, so I now use 185x15. Robert N.

Spares  part # D= RF 120 have fallen apart. This could result in serious injuries and I felt = compelled to notify Healey members. We  have experienced this problem = on purchases over the past 12 months. We strongly suggest you examine your = striker assemblies carefully.
We have notified A.H Spares of the problem= but unfortunately this issue has not been corrected on our most recent pur= chase from them.
We think door staying  closed is a pretty importan= t thing while driving down the road.

Happy Healeying,

In NH, as in ME, with regular cars there is also an excise tax based on the car's original price. But it hits a minimum off after some years (10 or 15). In NH, there is no sales tax, so the excise tax you pay may be a little higher than in ME. There is still a registration fee for the plates, and an inspection, and insurance. NH does have registration and plates for antique cars, but my BN2 has been off the road so long I don't know what the fees or restrictions are. -- Kent McLean '56 100 BN2 _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Mar 14 10:02:28 2009 From: Bob Spidell To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2009 09:03:01 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] gas tank seal Thanks to all who provided info and tips (and an offer to provide the material).

Tom Rocke is a personal friend of mine and I have been to his shop to see this car. If you understand what you read, it is not presented as anything other than a re-creation of the works car. Quote: restoration was completed on this car *to model* the 1960 works car", end quote. The car has a genuine Tulip engine Tom purchased in England, except the head is not the original alloy one, but it has been ported and modified to flow lots of air. The body panels are all aluminum alloy as on the origianl. The dash has all the correct instrumentation. This is as close as you will ever get to an original works car.
