Just yesterday I reassembled my gear box with the help of a couple of friends from the AH Club of Oregon. When we got the box completely together we noticed the first motion shaft allowed some side-to-side movement of the first motion shaft. I called the local Brit shop and asked if that was normal? , could it be corrected? I was told by the head of the British Car Works In North Plains, OR, west of Portland, this movement is normal and would be corrected when the shaft is in place mated up with the rear of the engine.

I followed the instructions on the paint remover can, use thick coat, wait 15 minutes and remove. It would not even soften that crusty finish. I tried again but this time I got called away during my 15 minute wait. When I returned 8 hours later the remover and the finish had crystalized. Just scraped it off. I did this again on a few other BJ8 dashes with same results. Grins, Norby On Tue, Mar 31, 2009 at 10:39 AM, billhuck wrote: > Some 25 years back I returned a BJ8 dash to its original condition.

The exteriors are painted in your choice of flourscent green, dayglow orange or banana peel yellow.

I was driving a left had drive Suzuiki SUV and still had a great time, the 2 hour trip to get there was well worth the effort just to get the chance to drive the course.

I have a MKIII Sprite project that I've had for many years. Rocky. A gorgeous new interior had been installed, but a now defunct raccoon destroyed it. All the body work was completed in metal, and the paint work (red) on it is exceptional. It has a new wiring harness installed. The suspension is detailed, and the chassis is a roller. There is no interior. The original 1098 engine is available, but certainly needs a rebuild. I am not sure I can provide a title for this. If someone is restoring a MKII Midget/MKIII Sprite, rather than go through all the effort and expense of metal, body and paint work, this might be an attractive alternative for you. Or, if you'd like to go racing, this would be a great start. Pictures are available, probably by the weekend, as the car is currently in the trailer. The car is located in central Wisconsin. $2500 (for another $200, you can also have a Sprite-worthy trailer with it.)

Now let the blasts begin. We use two different oils in all the cars we service depending on what someone want to spend 1. Castrol GTX 20/50 has a decent amount of ZDDP additive to protect the motor. 2. Red Line synthetic 10/40 has the highest amount of ZDDP additive that you can get. My personal choice is the Red Line, they have a speciality performance only oil and have not gone after the federal regulations on the ZDDP.

Let's all dig our hands into this old can of worms. I'll start: Valvoline VR-1 20-50 Racing Oil. Now, someone say Castrol 20-50, someone say Royal Purple, someone say Pennrite, and I'll counter with the best there is: Torco, at $10 a quart (which I run in my race car because of the higher level of metal protection -- have you priced a race engine rebuild lately?) The correct answer, I submit, is any standard branded oil as long as it's 20W50. Gary Anderson ************** Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.

Inertia being what it is, I doubt too many companies would bother to reformulate any oil they don't have to (unless it's to meet new SAE requirements; SL, SM, etc.). AFAIK, no one was required to add ZDDP in the first place. At first it was a competitive advantage, but was added by most brands eventually. Zinc and phosphorous were never reported on the bottle before (though it might have said something like "improved wear resistance"). That's changed, at least with VR1. Note I don't profess to be an expert, but I have done a bit of research trying to understand the problem. I recall reading that all ZDDP is made by just one company--at some point that business model may not be viable. Bob Robert Blair wrote: Bob, Why just believe - what does the can label say? Robert N.

These were also rather impractical as they gave of very little light. The modern (OK, all is relative) Xenon lights are quite accurate. They are all triggered by induction of no. 1 plug wire. Some pick ups work better than others. You can get the very basic one, or one with timing delay so that you can set the advance on the timing light and adjust on TDC. Some even have a dwell angle meter and RPM gauge included. In the past I had good results with Optimax from Hella (simple stroboscope light and still available I believe) and 80-Line (cheap, with advance setting) both are still working after 28 years.

If present, undo a plug of the the oil galery or oil pressure line and if you have the gear, fit a pump (a modified handpump for grease nipples filled with engine oil will do) and pump oil under pressure through the system. Pump several times more oil than the capacity of the oil filter. Turn the engine by hand a few times to feel if it has some tight spots, If all is OK, refit the plug in the oil galery and spin the engine on the starter untill you have oil pressure. Then refit the sparkplugs and leads, connect the fuel line, check the ignition points, timing and firing order. Time for starting up. Don't forget your gas mask.

I checked the manifold for a missing plug and there were none. I emptied the fuel bowls found a small amount of sediment so I cleaned the bowls. I sprayed carbretor cleaner into the jets and put some paper towel in the bowls to see what if any thing came out. The jets are not clogged now but I did get some dirt and metalic particles on the paper towel. I kep sparaying carb cleaner until there was no dirt on the paper towel. I cleaned the pistons throroughly and reassembled the carbs. I also installed an inline fuel filter just before the carbs to remove any debris from the tank. On my first try it ran briefly but very rough and it also sounded like there was some interference with the flywheel and the starter - I just installed a new gear reduction starter. I kept trying to get the car to start but no luck. I did have the carbs choked and it was a beautiful 75F with low humidity. OK guys what am I missing here I am ready to do bodily harm if this thing doesn't start someday soon.

Feel around the edges and make sure it is properly seated on the manifold. I suspect it is fine, but it's an easy check anyway. 2) I would try replacing both the rotor and dizzy cap with new ones. With a cracked cap you can still get spark on some cylinders and not on others, or you might get a severely weakened spark. A cracked cap can be very hard to see with your eye. 3) Replace the coil with a spare if you have one. Sometimes they can spark when turning over (very slow RPMs) but as soon as the motor catches it's too much and they crap out. 4) Replace contacts and condensor. 5) Did you check if one of the carb needles has dropped? 6) make sure the manifold nuts and the carbs to manifold nuts are not loose... you don't need to tighten them all that much (about 25 ft lbs, about half turn after finger tight).

Check if the plugs get wet with fuel after starting. Spray some propane/butane propelled medium (penitrating oil, WD40 etc.) in the carbs throat or better some aether when turning the engine on the starter. If it picks up and dies it is fuel starvation. Renew points, condensor, distr. cap, check or replace coil and plug wires, check if carb pistons move freely and drop with a clear clonk when fully adjusted back. Fill the dampers with ATF or sewing machine oil. Are the plug leads fitted in the right firing order?

Anyone out there have good results cleaning these to a usable condition with the spray cans of brake cleaner or is it best to trash the linings and start from new? --------------- John, I have had success using an old mechanic's trick: warming the shoes in an oven at perhaps 225 degrees F. The heat brings the fluid to the surface where it can be wiped off. Do this process several times until no more fluid is apparent, then clean the shoes with brake cleaner. Make sure you ventilate the kitchen and clear the project with whomever is responsible for the oven. Good luck.

For about 35-40 bucks you can buy the clutch slave cylinder bleed extension which will, in the future save you a lot of aggravation as you will then be able to bleed from inside the engine compartment with no strain or pain. This extends the bleed line to above the oil filter. Email Doug Reid at: mrfinespanner@earthlink.net. I would suggest that you go ahead and get this before you start to bleed if you are willing to wait a week or so. Then, use a speed bleeder at the tip of it and you can bleed by yourself.

He thought he had some air in the lines that was expanding at altitude. At the next NAPA store we came to, we bought some silicone fluid and a length of clear plastic tubing. With the Mr. Finespanner bleeder extension installed on George's car, it was a snap to bleed the clutch and after that the clutch worked fine.

I've never tried before. Recently I've rekindled my interest in finding it - my 1960 Austin-Healey 3000 BT7.

Connect the positive (red) lead on the TL to any bare chassis metal on the car. The pickup is attached as usual to #1 spark plug wire. If the TL's case is metal be careful; it's probably "grounded" for a negative-ground car, and you'll create a nice spark and small arc weld if you touch the case to the chassis. Otherwise, I've done it this way for years with no injuries to the car, the light or me ;) bs How does one connect the timing light leads in a positive ground system?

A typical good reason for all Healey owners to make sure that their car is entered in the appropriate registry. Registries don't exist to violate anyone's privacy, nor do they do so, but having your car on record can help people like Lady Monet have a chance at locating a cherished car they once owned -- or some future owner of your car who is interested in finding out who owned the car before them. There have been many occasions where someone contacted me for help in tracking down a BJ8 they used to own, with the desire to buy it back whatever the cost. Or wanted to give to the current owner the original driver's handbook, Passport to Service, or license plate or old photos which they still had in their possession. Or were just curious if the car still survives. The current AHCA keeper of the BT7 registry is Bill Naretta: mcroof@ameritech.net if the car is not a tricarb, or Bill Bolton: tricarb@aol.com if it is a tricarb. Bill Naretta is not on the list, to my knowledge. Bill Bolton may be. They will probably need the VIN, since the California license plate is not traceable. California no longer has vehicle registration records on inactive registrations younger than 4 years. If no VIN is available, one source might be the archives of the insurance company that insured the car. Robert, no contact information for Lady Monet was included with your post. Perhaps you could forward my response to her.

Gary Anderson out did himself again with at least a full second quicker lap times than last year. Usually when running the MGA (100 HP) against Gary Blacks BN7 (200 plus HP) Black gets way out in front. This weekend in qualifing Anderson went faster than Black. Gary Black put on a fresh set of tires Sat which put him ahead of Anderson but just barely. The two would close up at the turns then the Healey would streatch the lead to about 4 car lengths. This went back and forth all day Sunday and was fun to watch good friends fender to fender for the entire race. Jon Solderling, Cully Anderson, Nigel and Linda along with a few other Healey folks came by for some rides and racing. There was one Bugeye and a few Spridgets joining in the fun.

The distance pieces along with the shims ride on the bearings from the inboard side allowing a very accurate end float measurement (distance) to be obtained. I do not think they are primarily associated with strength. If the pieces are not present you cannot set the end float therefore possibly placing too much lateral force on the bearings when tightening the castle nut to the specified torque setting of 70 ft lbs.

We had a guy leave the shims out once and torqued the nut down as in the service manual. The wheel bearing lasted about 40 miles and seized the bearing to the spindle. If you leave out the spacer you will need to adjust the wheel bearing just like every american iron on the road. Snug up the nut the back it off to adjust the end float in the bearings. Then install special castle locking ring and cotter pin. Now try to do that inside the splined hub for the wire wheel.

The pedal was always soft and you could see the flex hoses swell when you pressed on the pedal. We found that some one had moved the position where the master cylinder attached to the pedal up approximatly 1/ 2 inch. This increased the pressure applied to the system so much that the hoses would swell when the pads and shoes pressed on the drums. So after learning this then possible you can do some math and move the hole up on the pedal and this would lower the pedal pressure required to get the same amount of applied pressure actually at the cylinder.

Another one that will work is, when I had some work done on my BJ8 about 8 years ago, the mechanic (a very good one, actually) made an honest mistake and swapped the brake and clutch masters on my BJ8 (they are different on the BJ8). This had the affect of making a VERY hard brake and a VERY soft clutch pedal. So... the first thing you can try is to replace your clutch master cylinder with a brake master cylinder from a BJ8 on your car. You may have to lengthen the cylinder's pedal rod a bit as the cylinder diameter on the BJ8 brake master is narrower, meaning you will have to push it a little further to get full clearance to shift without grinding gears. You can try this first, and then try putting on the BJ8 clutch after that. Those two things together should make for a very light clutch.

The differences between the earlier flywheel and the BJ8 - there are 3 dowel holes rather than 2, and they are in a different cicle. Also, the 6 clutch cover mount holes are in a different cicle, and are a different bolt size. Understandably, it would be easier to use a BJ8 flywheel, but if one is not available, the earlier one can be modified to take the later clutch by a competent machine shop. Either way, this conversion can be done with either the original gearbox / overdrive, or the Toyota 5 speed conversion.

He said Henry Ford took the opposite approach; i.e. leave the bearings free to turn some on the axle so the races don't wear in one spot. I suspect Norman Nock would know the 'official' purpose of the spacer. Bob This ought to start something with the engineers out there: With my limited experience after studying my hubs during the rebuild I believe the distance pieces are used just to get the proper end float of the hubs. The distance pieces along with the shims ride on the bearings from the inboard side allowing a very accurate end float measurement (distance) to be obtained. I do not think they are primarily associated with strength. If the pieces are not present you cannot set the end float therefore possibly placing too much lateral force on the bearings when tightening the castle nut to the specified torque setting of 70 ft lbs.

That would be most important for ball bearings, but probably advantageous for tapered rollers too. I suppose the distance piece might provide some support for the stub axle by stiffening it against deflection, but the assembly would have to be tight enough to pre-load the stub axle in tension. I don't think they are torqued that tight.

In my home town, Portland, Oregon we had a store called FASPEC that parted out many, many Healeys. With the permission of the proprietor, Stan Huntley, I took every stub axle they had (approximately 20-25) to my machine shop to have them magnafluxed, in an effort to find a few that were not cracked. I only found two or three that were not cracked. By 1990 I had changed over to BJ8 stub axles that have a slightly greater radius at the root and have a separate ring for the seal to ride on. I don't think the distance piece has anything to do with cracking, or not cracking, at the root of the early axles. I believe the BJ8 design change with the greater radius eliminated the cracking problem. Having said this, I think I will have my spindles crack tested in the very near future.

One OD task is causing some difficulties. I have had to replace the accumulator piston and accumulator housing due to severe scoring of both from the 120,000 miles on the car. Almost all is back together but I am struggling with the installation of the accumulator piston ring set and the insertion of the new piston and rings into the accumulator housing. I do not have access to the factory tool described in the shop manual. Does anyone have a technique that works? I have tried the obvious, i.e., after making sure the rings are installed properly on the piston, carefully inserting the piston into the housing from the top end where the edge of the housing is chamfered. However, it tends to allow 2-3 rings in okay but then binds on then 3rd or 4th ring. I have located a piece of tubing the same ID as the housing and am considering loading the ringed piston into it and then introducing the piston from the bottom of the housing. Again, I am seeking some guidance from the awesome collective experience of the group. Thanks.

Then use a small screw driver to help the rings into place. Do not force it they are cast iron and will break.

If all you want is the added performance and are not (I still haven't figured out why) trying to make an "M" of your BN1/BN2, then this should be the far less expensive way to go.

I have researched the archives and it seems that many opinions point to the fact that 0 degree or even certain amounts of negative camber are OK. Any thoughts? Can I assume as long as both sides are the same 0 degrees is OK? I have explored through the archives the number of ways to change the camber angle including: 1. bending or replacing with different lengths the shock arms 2. Using offset trunion bushings 3. Moving the shock mounting plate into the right place I'd rather not get into welding or changing or bending shock arms. I can try the offset bushings. How about slotting the holes in the shock so that the shock can be moved in or out? I realize this is now generally good practice but I have calculated that the amount of material to remove is small and there would still be good strength. Any advice?

With 185-70 Vredesteins on the 70-spoke Daytons, I do not detect any real difference in driving - zero seems fine. Therefore on yours you could adjust one full in and other full out to make both your front cambers zero. -- Steve Gerow Pasadena, CA 59 BN6 _______________________________________________ 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 Thu Apr 9 11:25:29 2009 From: STOCKLAND@aol.com To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2009 12:08:04 EDT Subject: [Healeys] BJ 8 Clutch Question Follow Up I wrote earlier about replacing the flexible hose to the clutch slave cylinder and was having trouble getting to the bleed valve. Options were to remove the tranny cover or the slave cylinder. Could not get to the top bolt on the slave cylinder so before removing the cover, I found a short, angled, 7/16" ratchet wrench that I could barely slide over the bleed screw. Only room for one click on the wrench but was able to turn the screw enough to bleed the system. Fortunately, the screw was not frozen in place. Hope this may help anyone else with the same problem.

You will want to relegate the welding to a true pro though. You can save by grinding off the old tower cap yourself. Positioning can be done with chassis measurements. In your case you can measure your starting point then adjust. Alternativly go to off set bushings. Try to bring the positive to match the other side. Most off sets only give about a degree of change so you may need to do both sides to bring them closer. 0 is just dandy. 1/2 a degree negative is better. Going beyond a full degree negative gets you into the track day set up and will be hard on tires.

The general feedback is that the brass and steel are not interchangeable and that the steel syncros were used in BJ8 only. The box being rebuilt is actually an early BJ8 that came with brass rings so it must have been an early model..(trans is from a donor car). MY QUESTION While we all have the jobs we hate, I have one that I am once again faced with..mating the transmission with the overdrive. For me, trying to get the splines and the oil pump cam to all line up is a b*** and usually results in extremely creative and original strings of explicative's that would require a PHD in linguistics to interpret..my wife and kids give me a wide berth when this job is being done. Below is what I do and I'm looking for an easier way. 1. Place the overdrive in a vertical position with mating surface facing up.. 2. I then place the cam on the thrust bearing inside the overdrive so that the heal is against the roller on the piston; 3. I then lift the transmission manually and lower it onto the overdrive so that the output shaft goes through the cam and into the splines in the overdrive; 4. inevitably, the cam moves or the splines don't line up such that it takes me numerous times to get the things to mate...this is where the aforementioned explicatives some in; Anybody have and easier methond??

As I have never done this before I was having difficulty compressing the 4 small steel rings while they are fed into the housing cylinder bore. I solved the challenge myself. In truth I may have only duplicated what others have done before but it worked and it may be worth sharing. I visited an automatic transmission shop and showed the owner the Healey OD accumulator piston and housing tube. After a little searching he produced a small metal ring with the exact same bore ID as the accumulator housing. The ring was only about a half inch long but it was perfect for compressing the rings. I began by carefully installed the rings on the piston. I used motor oil to assist in finessing the rings into position on the piston. I then lubricated the bore of the housing with the same oil. I then used the small metal ring to compress the rings on the piston to the OD of the cylinder ring segment. I used dissecting needles to compress each ring individually . When the ring was sufficiently compressed I fed the piston into the bore of the compressing ring and moved on to the next ring. Once all four of the outer rings were inside the metal ring I positioned the bottom of the piston so it was just barely showing at the bottom of the metal compression ring. This allowed me to use the piston bottom to locate the piston directly in line with the accumulator housing bore. A little added pressure on the piston and it slipped into the housing without the chance for the rings to expand. Previously, I had lubricated the cylinder bore with the same oil. The piston moves relatively freely in the housing and at this point it is only a matter of a day or two before the my Healey will be back on the road. That is assuming.....assuming I have put the gearbox and other components of the OD together correctly.

Since one of these is the unidirectional clutch spline, of course it can only turn one way. If you don't have an old spare output shaft from another gearbox use a long thin screwdriver to line up the splines. Second point is to apply some rather thick clean bearing or chassis grease to the spline where the pump cam will sit. Slide the cam into place and the grease should hold it there while you guide the gearbox down into the o/d unit. Make sure you have the gearbox in 4th gear so you can gently turn the input shaft to start the splines. Once all the splines are engaged you should have the adaptor plate close enough to the o'd unit to start the two nuts onto the long o/d studs. At this point there shoud still be about 5/8" gap between the mounting flanges, enough to get a long thin screwdriver in through the opening and ease the o/d pump plunger wheel onto the heel of the cam surface. With that accomplished the unit can be drawn carefully and evenly together. If you feel undue resistance, stop and make sure things can turn. If everything's too tight, you have likely not engaged one of the thrust washer splines correctly. back out and try again.

The freezing product they tested was not Loctite but CRC Freeze-off although I suspect it;s almost the same as the Loctite. Same principle at least. The worst was WD-40, slighlty better was Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster was the best by far. The CRC was about equal to the PB. You spray for 10 sec to drop the temperature 70 degrees or so opening cracks and micorscopic fissures in the rust allowing the penetrants in the product to better get into the threads. They did caution using where it would contact rubber parts. Remember this was a trial to see which worked best on glass boats.

It doesn't include the Loctite and CRC "freeze" products (I don't think that they were out yet). He didn't have a way to measure the torque to unscrew a rusted bolt, so he measured the force to remove a pin from a hole. The parts were assembled and then rusted by 12 cycles of 10 minutes in a 3% salt bath and 50 minutes in 105 degF air. The joints were then soaked in one ounce of penetrating oil for 12 hours. The results were (lower the number of pounds is better): Average Price per Penetrating oil Load fluid ounce ATF-Acetone 50/50 mix 53 pounds $0.10 Kano Kroil 106 pounds $0.75 Liquid Wrench 127 pounds $0.21 PB Blaster 214 pounds $0.35 WD-40 238 pounds $0.25 None 516 pounds ----- The prices were what he paid for the minimum quantity possible.

The top fitted on a header bar with alloy strip, seal, fasteners and clamps was available from BMC as an over-the counter new part. Top material is pulled forward over the header bar which is clamped to the windshield. The sides should be a good fit around the sidescreens and the flaps should butt up against the windshield posts. The top fabric gets nailed or stapled to the header bow from the center out, cleaning out the stretch marks as you go. There should be a strip of several inches of extra material at the front. This extra material was cut off at the junction of the wood header and the alloy clamping strip. The corner is carefully made by pulling the side edges around to the front. This folded sticking up bit lets you see how much of a pie slice of extra material needs to be cut out of the corner. The slit needs to be very carefully made and kept low so that it can be covered up by the hidem strip. The edge binding is brought round to the front and back up in a curve and is cut off so that it finishes under the hidem strip as well. The size of the curved "ear" portion is 2" in from the edge of the alloy strip. The hidem strip overlaps onto the alloy strip just a bit to cover the gap. It turns the corner just slightly and is finished with a plated edge cap. A home steamer will take out stretch marks. Robbins (and Moss) used to include detailed fitting instructions with their tops, but must have had many complaints from amateur screwups, so they now state that their tops are to be installed by a professional shop. For people interested in such things, Robbins has shown an interest in offering tops and tonneaus to the original factory patterns. Their rear windows were always too large. I've sent them my NOS BN 6 / 7 top and they now offer a top with the correct size and shape rear window in either stitched or heat-welded form, in their normal Colonial Grain or original Everflex vinyl or Stayfast cloth. I've offered them the NOS BT 7 top as well, but they don't seem to be in a big hurry.

It's a two seater, red, tan interior and in true Hollywood fashion, the spears are installed facing the wrong direction. Not sure how often the car will appear in the movie, but with Depp in the car, I guess a ton of folks will see how cool the Austin Healey is.

The top fitted on a header bar with alloy strip, seal, fasteners and clamps was available from BMC as an over-the counter new part. Top material is pulled forward over the header bar which is clamped to the windshield. The sides should be a good fit around the sidescreens and the flaps should butt up against the windshield posts. The top fabric gets nailed or stapled to the header bow from the center out, cleaning out the stretch marks as you go. There should be a strip of several inches of extra material at the front. This extra material was cut off at the junction of the wood header and the alloy clamping strip. The corner is carefully made by pulling the side edges around to the front. This folded sticking up bit lets you see how much of a pie slice of extra material needs to be cut out of the corner. The slit needs to be very carefully made and kept low so that it can be covered up by the hidem strip. The edge binding is brought round to the front and back up in a curve and is cut off so that it finishes under the hidem strip as well. The size of the curved "ear" portion is 2" in from the edge of the alloy strip. The hidem strip overlaps onto the alloy strip just a bit to cover the gap. It turns the corner just slightly and is finished with a plated edge cap. A home steamer will take out stretch marks. Robbins (and Moss) used to include detailed fitting instructions with their tops, but must have had many complaints from amateur screwups, so they now state that their tops are to be installed by a professional shop. For people interested in such things, Robbins has shown an interest in offering tops and tonneaus to the original factory patterns. Their rear windows were always too large. I've sent them my NOS BN 6 / 7 top and they now offer a top with the correct size and shape rear window in either stitched or heat-welded form, in their normal Colonial Grain or original Everflex vinyl or Stayfast cloth. I've offered them the NOS BT 7 top as well, but they don't seem to be in a big hurry.

So "brake disc to hub studs" is the best I can do for now. On a BT7 3000. I removed the old studs from my old front wire wheel hub/disc with know real difficulty, but reinstalling them in the new wire wheel hub has been very interesting so far. Hammering on brand new wire wheel hubs is not what I had in mind when I purchased these. Why the studs aren't already installed in the hub in the first place is another question for later. When I decided that hammering the studs into place was not working at all I moved over to the vise to try to persuade them in with a little pressing action. I really thought I was gaining some ground since the vise handle kept turning, then suddenly my vise decided to give it up. One of the forged metal halves literally broke in half. Wow, couldn't believe it. That was a huge amount of force but the stud was not moving like I thought it was. So , no more vise till the stores open on Monday. The studs are now in the freezer chillin, (contracting) and the torch comes out tomorrow to warm the holes up a tad (expansion) unless someone comes up with a better idea. I never had this much trouble in the past on TRs that we had to do this same operation on. At $8.00 a piece for new studdly duddlies, x 10 = $80.00. Out of the question.

There are enough products to use now that won't kill you , but may take a bit longer to derust, but still do the job. Personally I'll take the longer route. I can remember a couple of life shortening stories from some of our old list buddies that were pretty insistent that their serious health problems were brought on by not using precautionary measures when using hazardous products during hobby time.

It was a Coming of Age movie which involved the main character coming of age through the restoration of an MG. They used three very dissimilar cars which was easily picked up by the MG viewers. The unrestored car was a chrome bumper MG, pre 1974 1/2. The car when they were working on it, was a rubber bumper, post 1974 1/2. The fully restored car was a different year chrome bumper. What drew laughs was the ease of removing the windscreen during restoration, and the quck sloppy way they painted the car in the shade outside with no preparation. The director/producer said he forgot to take the glass out of the windscreen and had to pay an exorbatant fee to a computer shop to remove it electronically. Great fun.

Fellow Healeyoids, I'm having a difficult time assembling My 63 BJ7 centershift gearbox. I can't seem to get the laygear in with the thrust washers. The thrust washers are too thick! I have a rebuilt #3649 laygear, courtesy of AH Spares. It has a new first gear nicely welded to it. It has been refurbished and appears to be hardened and really nice. However, it appear to be too long and there is no room for the thrust washers to fit. It looks like the thrust end of the laygear (nearer the first gear) is too long. Could I grind this down to the appropriate length? That would be very tough to do equally around the diameter of the laygear. Or, should I look for a new laygear? I bought this like six years ago, so I doubt that I could exchange it. Also, I am using the original BJ7 gearbox case. Please advise! Thanks!

I'm using the AH spares armrest. Does it require any additional padding or stuffing?

Do not try to grind the laygear. You will destroy it. You need to determine why it won't fit. Is it really too long? If you still have your old laygear, compare the length of it to your rebuilt gear. If not, it is relatively easy to measure the distance between the two bearing surfaces & compare this to the total length of the laygear plus thrust washers & thrust plates. You may need thinner thrust washers, but I would not jump to this conclusion. It is possible that your problem is simply assembling the laygear, two thrust washers & two thrust plates. They can be a bit difficult to get them all aligned. Finally,you need to have the correct end float when it is all assembled. See the service manual for this information. If the rebuilt gear is indeed too long, then I would personally expect the supplier to replace it with a correct one, regardless of how much time has elapsed since it has not been used & was "dead on arrival".

I can't seem to get the laygear in with the thrust washers. The thrust washers are too thick! I have a rebuilt #3649 laygear, courtesy of AH Spares. It has a new first gear nicely welded to it. It has been refurbished and appears to be hardened and really nice. However, it appear to be too long and there is no room for the thrust washers to fit. It looks like the thrust end of the laygear (nearer the first gear) is too long. Could I grind this down to the appropriate length? That would be very tough to do equally around the diameter of the laygear. Or, should I look for a new laygear? I bought this like six years ago, so I doubt that I could exchange it. Also, I am using the original BJ7 gearbox case. Please advise! Thanks!

I've seen those springs broken and the broken portions of the coils wound back into themselves negating the thrust required to hold the detent balls into position. Also the detent springs and balls in the case that hold the shifter rods in position can cause the same symptoms. The "knocking" in 1st gear will certainly be worn or galled teeth on the laygear and 1st gear, along with excess wear of the lay shaft allowing the teeth to be slightly out of correct pitch when driven.

In earlier days reagents used in bench chemistry procedures were made daily as needed with base ingredients from suppliers like Sigma and others. I've always been surprised particularly in earlier days there weren't more medical complications among me and my co-workers from almost daily exposure to volatile solvents and other raw ingredients used to make test reagents. However testing with rats has shown there certainly are - complications. Or they needed tougher rats maybe. In any event over the years testing procedures and reagents changed and became way more user friendly. At the same time use of safety precautions like protective clothing, gloves and the like and ventilation hoods became common practice. All this - and MSDS sheets too - say to me it's true. There's risk with exposure. I give thanks and think we were fortunate. But heed the warnings - particularly with volatile solvents like those mentioned. Use in open or ventilated areas.
