And I see no way to avoid this. And a second point is the triangle left/right between the top rails (above the door catches). It was also scissor clamped and I see no way out to avoid this. I had no problem getting window strait and flat. Have to say my car is an early 1954. I did the car for concours, but anyway here in Europe I need to drive the car to the event on its own wheels and want to enjoy to drive with hood down. Josef Eckert Konigswinter/GERMANY -----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Rich C [mailto:richchrysler@quickclic.net] Gesendet: Freitag, 1. Mai 2009 01:43 An: Eckert, Josef; healeys@Autox.Team.Net Betreff: Re: [Healeys] How to fold a BN1/BN2 top behind the seats Josef, The nasty folding marks are probably caused by the material being crimped between the folding mechanism. This top frame can easily cause a scissor like action along the sides if the hood material gets between the pieces. When the hood header rail is brought back to the main bar, and the rear rail comes forward, don't let the hood material fold down between too deeply, no more than 6" or so. Keep the rear window as straight and flat as possible. The left and right triangular shaped "ears" need to fold inboard as smoothly and flat as possible making the fold as far inboard as the edge of the window. For the final collapse of the hood frame, keep the window flat and as vertical as possible. I try to tuck the portion between the bottom of the window and the rear bar under so it's slightly tucked beneath the spare tire envelope, rather than leave it hanging toward the tunnel or floor. Once it's all down, there should be a further slight collapse posible to clear the header bar from the seat backs better if you have the slotted side pivots which were introduced part way through 1954. Finally when everything is folded down the best possible, make sure the hold down catches don't spear or dig into the tonneau cover when fitted. They can be pivoted and turned down to clear hood material and tonneau cover.

The noise I have appears to come from the right rear, and only occurs on right hand turns, at any speed. It sounds like a intermediate rubbing or a skipping. Like Peter, everything has been checked and tightened with ho luck in eliminating the noise. The differential was rebuilt and all wheel bearings replaced about 2 years ago.

One word of advice, never try to click on the opt out feature of these spam messages. That only tells the spammers that the address to which they send the spam is a real address and you most certainly will get more. With many of these spam messages, if you hover (don't click) over the url given you will see that it is obviously directing you to an incorrect site. Better still, just don't ever open anything that is asking for information because, just think, your legitimate banks, etc. already have that information so why would threy be asking for it.

I too received the recent Paypal phishing expedition. However, my experience with Paypal started last December. I sold some antiques and received the buyers' payment via Paypal. I knew when the buyer's funds hit my account because they had sent me a separate email. I had never dealt with Paypal of selling something via the Internet. So the next morning I checked my account to see if the money had been credited. In fact I learned that the my funds were gone, the account had been closed, and my American Express card number had been used to purchase an additional $250.00 worth of merchandise over and above the funds I shouldl have received from the buyer. the culprit had orchestrated al of this from the Philippines. It took me about three months to get the issue straightened out. I did come out OK but only because I can be pretty stubborn when I feel screwed. the worst of this situation was I found it absolutely frustrating and difficult to deal with Paypal. I was never able to talk to the same person twice and it took me a week of effort to get to talk to the first live human being. My advice, stay away from Paypal. Their internal security sucks almost as bad as their customer service.

I have had problems with both a internet service provider that wouldn't let me cancel and one time software use/purchase that was made recurring with two different companies. The first was only resolved when I contacted the consumer protection division of the state Atty General's Office, the latter I ultimately wrote off the 40 or so bucks I got charged that I did no authorize, just decided it wasn't worth all the trouble. Best exchange I had, after being assured an account was canceled then getting charged again I called the "customer service" people, they were very sorry and would take care of it, me: could I get that in writing? them: no Im sorry we can't do that? me: you don't have access to a printer or E-mail? me: sorry can't help you it is taken care of me: like it was last time before you charged me again? Many companies will only do business with you these days by allowing direct payment from your account, giving them access to withdraw. I talked to my bank when I had trouble with one of these types of arrangements, asked them to cancel the authority to access. They stated they can't cancel the authority to access, and in fact once granted they can take out as much money from the account as they want anytime they want. I had assumed I was only giving access to withdraw xx dollars once a month as per the agreement I made with the company. I asked what if they took more then authorized, bank said I could get it reversed, I said what if they have taken the money and closed their bank account and are vacationing in the bahamas, he did not have a good answer. Sorry for the long message, but bottom line be careful allowing access to your accounts.

PayPal is a swamp, and the requirement that you have to list a bank account is ludicrous. When I was required to do so I went to my friendly banker and we established a second checking account that has less than $100 in it. I never use it. I always click on the alternate method of payment and use my credit card. If I have trouble with a vendor I don't even try to get PayPal to deal with it. I go straight to the credit card company. Most often that is because I have had vendors who never answer my emails, or just disappear. When I had trouble my bank just laughed at me. They are willing to charge an exorbitant amount to stop a check, but do nothing about electronic transfers. . No matter how much I want something I would never give access to my bank account to any vendor. In have noticed that I no longer have to answer the question about am I sure I want to use an alternate (not bank account) method of payment.

Just got my hard top back from being restored. The purists can vent now since I had it painted black to go with my Colorado Red over Black paint job. Knowing this is to last forever, I had the headlining done in a black textured vinyl. The problem I have is in getting in and out. When I had my bugeye I had no trouble getting in and out when the hard top was on. But that was 45 years and 30 lbs ago. But I was also two inches taller than. While I have figured out how to do it, when I do get in, my 5'7" is about 2 inches from the headliner. What do six footers do to get in and out, and how do they fit in? Someone told my that Donald Healey was 5'6" and than might explain why he had a special coupe made for him rather than a hard top. I have an idea of how to store it, but I wonder how other folks who have hard tops store theirs.

The bj8 also had a plastic black outer cover. Slide the thin cable thru the choke block holes from the bulkhead end and then thru the choke bracket screwed to the bulkhead. The outer metal sheaf can then be slid up from the carb / open end till it sits in the small tubes on the bracket. Then slide on the black plastic outer cover (I used pnuematic nylon air tube), its end will slide over the tube on the bracket. The other end of the cable has a bracket again with a small tube welded to it that the metal cable sits in and the plastic outer covers. It is fixed to the air filter fixing stud that mates with the carb. A choke pin assembly is like a trunnion, and goes thru the choke arm on the carb and then has the thin cable locked to it with a nut. Now when you pull the choke main cable it will pull the block and secondary cables and so pull the choke arms up. The main choke cable returns when you push the knob in, but the secondary cables/ choke arms need springs to return. These are fixed onto the pin ass'y / arms and points on the inner wing reinforcement strut.

Jack, The black textured vinyl on my BT7's hard top is on the outside :^) I"m 6' 9" and I modified the lower seat frame so it's an inch closer to the gearbox and back a couple of inches. That allowed me to raise the pivot point for the seat back and tilt it back a fair bit. The car has a dished 15" Mota-Lita steering wheel which helps with the leg room.

If the bolt won't tighten a) the spot welds have broken loose or b) the nut is stripped (my guess). If the nut is stripped you can use a thread repair kit (I've done this successfully). If the nut has broken loose, you'll need to loosen the shock enough to get a MIG wire on the nut and tack it well enough to keep it from dropping when you remove the bolt (if it drops you might be able to capture it with a magnetic parts chaser, then tack weld, but you might end up misaligned with the shock bolt hole). The hole is larger than the diameter of the bolt thread (3/8" x 24) and you should be able (note: I haven't done this) run a bead--or a few spotwelds--around the edge of the hole and the nut, then file flat and chase the threads. You can put the car on jackstands--Darwin warnings apply here--with the front jackstands securely under the 'point' of the A-arms. The weight of the car will keep the spring compressed while you loosen the shock (you shouldn't have to break the upper trunnion), but if the car gets knocked off the jackstands you'll have a spring projectile (in addition to a crunched car). I've done this, but only for 'quick' repairs; the better (safer) option is to drop the spring through the A-arms (you don't have to remove the A-arms, use some long bolts or allthread to replace the bolts one at a time then loosen them in sequence).

Many years ago (late 70's through mid 80's)when I owned my tricarb BT7, it came with not only the original soft top which fit fantastic and never leaked, but it also came with a factory hardtop. We used the hard top every spring and fall for about 6 weeks each when the nights were almost down to freezing but there was no snow, therefore no salt yet. It saved the soft top from being covered in frost, and with excellent fitting sidescreens, turned the car into a snug little coupe. No real problem storing the hard top over the sulmmer in the garden shed with a cotton dust cover over it.

I even bought a '68 Ford Bronco from an Atlanta glass blower with little painted decorations from the same guy who painted the General Lee in the Dukes of Hazzard. Bizarrely, I had earlier tried to purchase a '66 Bronco from an old guy who lived next to Stone Mountain and he refused to sell to me because he figured that I wasn't 100% white.

In my limited experience, a good water trap works for most uses. You can put an extra length of coiled hose before the filter as a 'condenser' as well. My father has gotten some pretty good paint jobs this way. The 'snake' looks like a good idea, and couldn't hurt, but I suspect you'll need a new one after only a few minutes of painting on an even slightly humid day. Given that a decent paint job is 'worth' at least several thousand dollars it might be worth it to buy a half-dozen. My dad uses one of these: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=98904 Here's another option: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94733 Of course, it won't matter much if you have to use water-based paint, which I believe will be a requirement in most of California in the not-too-distant future (it already is in some areas).

And it ain't over yet. It should all be fine by next week, though. The current ISP providing Team.Net connectivity along with several other domains and network related services is Qwest. Saturday, May 2nd, they cut off my network access. They have been recieving complaints about "malicious activity" from one of my servers. It has happened before. The first time I actually spent many hours on the phone over a period of several days and found out the nature of the "malicious activity." Someone too lazy or too stupid to click on the 'unsubscribe' link for one of the mailing lists was flagging all incoming Team.Net emails as spam. Once I finally managed to penetrate deep into the Qwest support to find someone with more than a single digit IQ, it took me just a few seconds to remove the braindead A-hole from the lists to which they subscribed. It happened again a while back, again I took the time and effort to finally get to the root of the problem and removed the whining piece of human debris from the appropriate list. This time I've had enough. It is so frustrating to have to go through their entire little debugging script *every time* I talk to a new person about it: Them: What operating system are you running? Me: Unix, FreeBSD 6.2 Them: No, I mean are you running Vista, XP or Windows 98? Me: Like I said, I'm running Unix, FreeBSD 6.2. I am NOT running Windows, just like I told all the other ... You know, a lot of people who just use computers as a basic appliance would not understand the details of that conversation, they have no need to. But tech support people working for a major company like Qwest? How do people that incompetent get through the first job interview? Do they have anyone on their staff who can even *spell* Unix?? At any rate, the problem that Qwest claims I have is still not resolved, they will most likely once again cut off my network access soon. As I said, I've had enough. On Friday, May 8th I will be changing from Qwest to XMission, located here in Salt Lake, for Team.Net ISP service. The changeover will result in Team.Net services being unavailable for a few days. IP addresses, nameserver data, etc. will take a day or two or so to percolate through the network. So expect sporadic service over the next few days, but it should all settle down by early next week. Thank you for your patience. mjb. _______________________________________________ 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 May 6 01:48:51 2009 From: "Peter Linn" To: Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 15:03:41 +1000 Subject: [Healeys] Early BN1 steering wheel A bit late I know but got caught out by the List downtime: I have an early Bn1 adjustable steering wheel, in need of restoration, listed on Aussie Ebay (ending in 5 hours!)

The economy is pretty weak (sucks) at the moment and I need to quickly raise some money for the attempt next month. So, I'm offering a really nice Bugeye up for sale and or a custom bike. The two tinyurl links below will take you to the pictures. The bike is a top shelf road bike and you buy the bits and I throw in the fame for free. Let's call it $1650.00 US It's a 58cm x 58.5cm Columbus Spirit frame set ( fine grained doped Niobium-steel) Very light, very strong, very responsive. Very collectible/ridible. The Bugeye is a '59 948cc nearly dead stock. It has nearly all the stuff and is absolutely rust free. Not a show winner, but damn close. Please contact me off list if you are a serious buyer.

Richard, I wish you the best of luck whilst visiting the country of Georgia - NATO are conducting military exercises in the region and Russion troops are massing on the northen border according to our national press. Drove through the country almost 9 years to the week in our '62 BT7 on the way to Baku on the Caspian Sea. Very friendly people but the roads were a disaster - full of potholes with cattle and sheep wandering along with the traffic. Stayed at the Sheraton in Tbilisi and changed the cast iron exhaust manifold for a DW 6 branch steel system as the CI had cracked. You may still find the remains in the large garage area under the hotel, it probably is the only part of an Austin Healey in Georgia.

The text calls for the withdrawal of the pinion flange and pressed end-cover with Service Tool 18G2 (extractor for driving flange). I want to replace the oil seal. Of course I don't have too 18G2. My inspection of the exploded rear axle graphic in the manual suggests that if I remove flange nut and washer I can probably tap the flange off with careful use of a small hammer. Am I correct? To get to the oil seal the next step will be removal of the oil seal housing. Can someone offer a suggestion on accomplishing this step? It is the "pressed" term that causes concern. Thanks.

It is not like there is a certain life expectancy for the spokes to have this problem show up all of a sudden. First question is, are the spokes chrome plated or stainless? If they are chrome, I might send all the wheels back to a wheel supplier and have them replaced with stainless steel spokes and rebalanced. If the spokes are already stainless, the wheel might be bad. The wheel was probably still running true even with the broken spokes otherwise the car would have not been drivable. I would send the wheel off to replace the spokes and balance it as a precaution. Years ago when I was running 60 chrome spoke India Dunlops on my BT7, (yeah, I was warned later about these wheels, Moss had a good sale. Maybe that is why they were on sale) I would always find a few broken spokes after running gymkhanas. I ordered a bunch of stainless spokes from Dayton and got pretty good at replacing the broken spokes without dismounting the tire. I had to remove the air from the tube and push the tire bead off the rim and then could move the tube out the way to replace and tighten the spokes. I know that sometimes I had to remove an adjoining spoke to be able to get the broken one replaced with a new spoke. Looking back at it now, I should have done the correct thing and sent the wheels off to have all the spokes replaced. Good luck. It is obviously a serous problem that needs to be taken care of before you drive the car the next time. Buy a proper spoke wrench so you don't round off the nipple corners. Check for tightness by tapping on all the spokes with the wrench. They should all have about the same ring. If one or more sounds like a lower or dead pitch, it needs tightening. If you decide to put in the new spokes, you can check how true the wheel and tire is running by putting it on a front hub and hand spinning it with the wheel barely off the floor. Neil Anderson, Who lives just south of I-90 in Illinois and has heard how bad that road is this spring. Maybe the stimulus money will fix the highway. _______________________________________________ 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 May 6 11:14:38 2009 From: I Erbs To: Pieter and Linda Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 10:12:12 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] "Koni" front conversion please share front/rear #s Thanks Ira Erbs On Wed, May 6, 2009 at 9:52 AM, Pieter and Linda wrote: > I have a reproduction of the "Koni" front shock conversion to fit to my BJ7 > but don't have the shocks. can anybody tell me the part number of a shock > that fits or what car they came from? > cheers > Pieter > _______________________________________________ > Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html > > Healeys@autox.team.net > http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys > > You are subscribed as eyera3@gmail.com > > http://www.team.net/archive > -- I Erbs Portland, OR _______________________________________________ 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 May 6 11:16:05 2009 From: Bob Spidell To: Mark Schneider Date: Wed, 6 May 2009 17:12:59 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [Healeys] Replacing pinion oil seal re: " if I remove flange nut and washer I can probably tap the flange off with careful use of a small hammer. Am I correct?" Yep. Note the flange and yoke are two separate parts--IIRC--tap on the yoke with plastic/dead blow hammer if possible. They're splined--duh--and should come off fairly easily unless they have never been removed (not likely) and are rusted up; if so, get your favorite penetrating oil and/or carefully warm the yoke. re: " To get to the oil seal the next step will be removal of the oil seal housing.

When one fails, the load it was carrying is re-distributed to the adjacent spokes and they begin to carry more load than before. Thus, they are likely to fail also if the broken spoke remains un-replaced long enough. I've had my Dayton chrome wheels (with stainless spokes) since 1991 and 83K miles, and until last summer I had never had a broken spoke with them. When I arrived home after the cross-country drive to Conclave, I discovered my right rear wheel with two adjacent broken spokes. That wheel had been the source of some vibration after a new tire was installed at Hendrix before I left on the trip. It was not installed, trued, and balanced by Allen himself, as all had been previously. After having the spokes replaced at Hendrix and reinstalling the wheel on the right rear, I discovered one more broken spoke later that Hendrix has also replaced. The moral is: along with driving on too many rough roads, out-of-balance tires/wheels can also result in broken spokes.

Has anyone tried to resuscitate the original primary cable assembly - in order to retain the twist-lock feature? The replacement cable assemblies are a pull out friction deal that everyone says does not work very well - we do have one in hand if necessary. On our car, the inner cable end has been frayed and repaired (as usual) and is now too short - leaving us with not enough cable to fully choke the carbs. I'm thinking that a fix might be to somehow 'sweat' the cable out of the knob assembly, and simply solder a replacement length of bicycle cable in, without destroying the plastic knob with heat. We have absolutely no extra length to the cable housing, so shortening that will not work to give us our extra travel. Carbs are off the car right now for rebuild, so now is the time. Anyone had any experience with this? Any and all input appreciated. Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

Be advised if you have lots of miles (>100K) on your car it's probable the pinion bearings have lost their preload; i.e. enough compression on the bearings to take up all slop and a smidgen more (measured as a few inch-pounds of torque/resistance on the pinon shaft with the axles removed and the diff drained of oil). If you have the axles out someday you can test that, but it doesn't warrant a teardown if you aren't having any problems. Shouldn't be too much trouble to remove the nut, but you'll need the right socket, a fairly large breaker bar and a suitable torque wrench to reinstall. There should be a large split/lock washer underneath and were originally tightened to 150 ft-lbs. Even with the e-brake set the pinion shaft might turn; have someone stomp on the brakes when you remove/reinstall the nut. Congrats on the work you've accomplished so far ... feels good, doesn't it ;) Bob Bob, Thank you for the advice. This all matches with what I expected.

You can remove this dust cover and the seal using a large screw driver. You probably need to replace this cover as wel as the seal, as it is likely that it gets damaged in the proces. The BJ7/8 partnumber is ATC7101 for the cover and ATC 7085 for the seal.

"Honey, you are not supposed to ask a lady her age," the mother replies sweetly."It's not polite." "OK", the little girl says, "How much do you weigh?" "Now really," the mother says, a bit less sweetly. "Those are personal questions and are really none of your business." Undaunted, the little girl asks, "Why did you and Daddy get a divorce?" "That's enough questions, young lady, honestly!" mom says as her daughter is getting out of the car. The exasperated mother drives away as the two friends begin to play. "My Mom won't tell me anything about her," the little girl says to her friend. "Well," says the friend, "all you need to do is look at her drivers license. It's like a report card, it has everything on it." Later that night the little girl says to her mother, "I know how old you are, you are 32." The mother is surprised and asks, "How did you find that out?" "I also know that you weigh 140 pounds." The mother is past surprised and shocked now. "How in heaven's name did you find that out?" "And," the little girl says triumphantly, "I know why you and daddy got a divorce." Now mom's getting mad. She says, "Oh really? And just why is that, young lady?" "Because you got an F in sex." **************Remember Mom this Mother's Day! Find a florist near you now.

I'm kinda curious how you managed to do that ;) I don't think you have much choice but to install a new clutch line. I doubt rubber fuel line and clamps would handle the pressure too well--the pressure when you disengage the clutch is much greater than even fuel injection line pressure. Not having a working clutch would all but strand you someday. This isn't a terrible job, I don't think you even have to remove the transmission cover to get at the line. This would be a good time to install a remote bleeder kit from Mr. Finespanner (Doug Reid), if you do pull the cover.

Do you think they could be Lebanese? Dear Abby, What can I do about all the Sex, Nudity, Fowl Language and Violence on My VCR? Dear Abby, I have a man I can't trust.

It's getting expensive and I think my boyfriend should share half the cost, but I don't know him well enough to discuss money with him. Dear Abby, I've suspected that my husband has been fooling around, and when confronted with the evidence, he denied everything and said it would never happen again. Dear Abby, Our son writes that he is taking Judo. Why would a boy who was raised in a good Christian home turn against his own? Dear Abby, I joined the Navy to see the world. I've seen it. Now how do I get out? Dear Abby, My forty year old son has been paying a psychiatrist $50.00 an hour every week for two and a half years. He must be crazy. Dear Abby, I was married to Bill for three months and I didn't know he drank until one night he came home sober. Dear Abby, My mother is mean and short tempered I think she is going through mental pause. Dear Abby, You told some woman whose husband had lost all interest in sex to send him to a doctor.

I have no idea if the specification changed over time, but I have a very original hardtop dated 1960, and the threads are definitely 8-36. Many thanks to all who sent leads, but it turns out these seem to be unavailable. I had one offer from a fastener manufacturer in the UK to make them, but it was a minimum 250 quid, and I figured it may be a while before I could recoup this, selling 4 screws at a time to those of you out there with a hardtop restoration in your future. Peter Svilans and I checked out a few examples and it turns out that the toggle clamps are often fastened with self-tapping screws. I am sure this is not right - who would use a self-tapping screw to fasten something to a block of aluminum? My opinion is that when the original 8-36 machine screws loosened and fell out, or were removed and lost, owners also found replacements were unobtainable and used the self-tappers. On my top, one side had machine crews and the other had self-tapping screws. I had given up on the 8-36 screws and was over at Peter's discussing a solution. I figured I would try taking the nearest, larger thread I could find, and re-thread them with a die. Peter and I checked through some metric sizes and lo and behold discovered that an M4 with a 0.7 pitch is, for all intents, an exact match for an 8-36. Moreover, it is available in Phillips drive, oval head and stainless. So there we have it - I bought 4 and my toggle clamps are re-installed - the metric screws went in perfectly. I am sure the thread form is different, but guess what, once installed you can't tell - I tried and you really can't see them (and if any concours judge reading this ever removes one of these screws with a thread gauge in hand, I will break his Phillips drive). I have no idea how common this particular metric machine screw is, but Spaenaur carry them and the part number for a 16 mm length is 425-008.

I have now borrowed a pneumatic impact tool to try to loosen the large flange nut. I am assuming the threads on the shaft are normal threads, that is, "lefty loosy/righty tighty". I have the flange locked with a metal rod and the park brake is set pretty hard. When I hit the nut with the impact tool all it did was make a lot of noise as it banged away. The nut did not budge. I recall the large nut on the first motion shaft in the gearbox was a left handed thread. Is that possible again here? I think not but I hate working against the tide.

The torque is handled by the yoke and splines, the 'jesus' nut just secures the yoke to the pinion shaft. The torque spec on the nut is 150ft-lbs, and there is probably a large split lockwasher behind it. I don't think a typical impact wrench will do the job, you need a large breaker bar and possibly a length of pipe on the bar for leverage--aka a 'snipe'--and penetrating oil and heat might help. Make sure the car is properly secured, then get your cousin Rolf to put everything he has into it.

I was the guy with the black Burberry jacket that you demanded I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I hope you somehow come across this message. I'd like to apologize. I didn't expect you to crap in your pants when I drew my pistol after you took my jacket. Truth is, I was wearing the jacket for a reason that evening, and it wasn't that cold outside. You see, my girlfriend had just bought me that Kimber Model 1911 .45 A CP pistol for Christmas, and we had just picked up a shoulder holster for it that evening. Beautiful pistol, eh? It's a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head, isn't it? I know it probably wasn't a great deal of fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with that brown sludge flopping about in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse since you also ended up leaving your shoes, cellphone, and wallet with me. I couldn't have you calling up any of your buddies to come help you try to mug us again. I took the liberty of calling your mother, or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, and explaining to her your situation. I also bought myself and four other people in the gas station this morning a tank full of gas on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 150 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to one of the homeless guys over by Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all of the cash in your wallet. I threw the wallet in a fancy pink "pimp mobile" parked at the curb after I broke the windshield and side window out and keyed the drivers side. I called a bunch of phone sex numbers from your cellphone. They'll be on your bill in case you'd like to know which ones. Ma Bell just shut down the line, and I've only had the phone for a little over a day now, so I don't know what's going on with that. I hope they haven't permanently cut off your service. I could only get in two threatening phone calls to the DA 's office and one to the FBI with it. The FBI guy was really pissed and we had a long chat ( I guess while he traced the number). I'd also like to apologize for not killing you and instead making you walk back home humiliated.. I'm hoping that you'll reconsider your choice of path in life. Next time you might not be so lucky. P.S. Remember this motto......an armed society is a polite society! **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

If you do not have a 3-point seat/shoulder in your car the threads can be protested and look a little improved with a couple of chrome finishing nuts on top of them. If the studs and other anchoring components were installed at the factory there should be two studs to each side of the cockpit, I am not sure if I understand the other part of your question, ie, installing the rear seat squab and some interference with the quarter panels. When I did my carpet job I had all of the interior out of the car. The rear seat back is held in place by five bolts. Three extend through wood frame at the bottom and through the body metal into the space above the rear axle. Two more boltx, one in each of the rear wheel wells extend through the metal and into the side frame of the back. I hope this helps.

Pull the drum off the offending wheel and see which is leaking and go from there. If the contamination is light, you may be able clean the old shoes with a decontaminant - there were some postings on this a few weeks back. I have done this successfully a few times, but usually it does not clean them completely and is generally better to get new shoes.

Chris Beebe came to Madison WI about 1970 and took over an ongoing business called Sports Car Specialists on Regent St. Chris ran a top notch operation that was a huge improvement over the previous propriators whose shoddy work inspired me to start doing my own repairs on my BJ8. Chris wore a white lab coat and never got dirty as all the work was being done by his staff of mechanics working under his guidance and direction. It was his brother who repaired my shock mount after it let go and put me into a snowbank. When I left for the east coast at the end of 1971 I gave them a 100 cylinder head... wish I had it now.

I now believe the problem is due, at least in part, to my using flatwashers under the brass nuts (the holes on the downpipe flanges are too big for the nuts alone). What do others use to get a good, secure connection here? Brass nuts alone? Brass nuts with lockwashers (my probable next attempt)? Steel nuts with or without washers?

The newer gaskets don't seem too sturdy, either. I think the next time I have the downpipes out I might try to weld a small 'cuff' that extends the pipe into the manifold a bit. BTW, I found I could check/tighten the nuts using a 1/2-inch deep socket on the end of two extensions--one 3-inch and one 12-inch--and a 3/8-inch ratchet. It helps if at least one of the extensions is the 'wobbly' kind; e.g. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=31203 Then, you can reach the nuts by laying on your back just behind the left front wheel and working the extensions and socket up to the exhaust flange nuts. At least you don't have to get out the floor jack and jackstands. On a recent road trip I ended up doing this almost daily.

If you use a trickle charger when the car is not in use for a longer period and keep an eye on the water level they are quite durable in our cars that are not used on a daily basis. These batteries are starter batteries and some (Japanese made) can last over 10 years. At least in the past and perhaps still, there are some reliability and durability problems with the expensive gel batteries. They may not be ideally suited as a starter battery and they may need a different, more refined charging proces for optimal results. Kees Oudesluijs NL oldsamdman@aol.com schreef: > ?

Anway before it got to late I also managed to get petrol to the carbs (after one or two leaks) and looking at the float bowls the level seems the same on both (around 4-5mm from top?). I dont have a workshop manual with me (left it at work) so would like to start her up for the first time in the morning (minus one exhaust, gone back to manufacturers for mods). The carbs were proffessionally rebuilt and have 2 turns on what I believe is the idle screw (big one on its own?) and the throttle screws backed fully off, I assume the jet was set up correctly. Do these settings sound correct and would this give me a high / low idle? On startup if it is too high does the idle screw need to be wound in or out? Sorry if this sounds basic but I been brought up on fuel injection (gte's) and know less than nothing about SU's, and there doesnt seem much on the web for intial startups after rebuilds (so thought I would ask the all wise). ps I had to remove the oil flexi pipe to bleed thru and now have around 58psi oil pressure now on the gauge, is there anything else to worry about (ie are air locks common in the coolant?) many thanks Andy _________________________________________________________________ Beyond Hotmail  see what else you can do with Windows Live. http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665375/direct/01/ _______________________________________________ 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 May 13 15:28:28 2009 From: Bob Spidell To: andy pole Date: Wed, 13 May 2009 21:26:51 +0000 (UTC) Subject: Re: [Healeys] hd8 carb bench settings / first start up re: "The carbs were proffessionally rebuilt and have 2 turns on what I believe is the idle screw (big one on its own?) and the throttle screws backed fully off, I assume the jet was set up correctly.

When the pump stops clicking--if it doesn't you have a fuel or air leak--check the levels of the jets and the fuel inside the jets. If you have roughly 1/10-inch (2-3mm) from the top of the jet bridge down to the tops of the jets, and a similar gap from the tops of the jets to the fuel level--on both carbs--you should be in the ballpark for mixture. If not, adjust the float levels and the jet level/mixture screws (small screws on the left-hand side of the carbs--clockwise to enrichen). With the dashpots off make sure the jet needles are properly located in the piston (varies depending on type/brand of needle; either base of shank or top of groove). re: "I had to remove the oil flexi pipe to bleed thru and now have around 58psi oil pressure now on the gauge" How?

I've been around Austin Healeys since I was about 5 years old...I am now almost 53. I'm doing some work on my BJ8 and I had the engine out. While it was out I figured that I would get the flywheel resurfaced. I agonized as to where to have it done. The last flywheel that I had done for my 95 Ford Escort came back dished...not machined flat. Then I remembered KTR. KTR is a shop that maintains, restores, and generally deals in very expensive European cars. It's one of those places where you just start drooling as soon as you cross the threshold. First there's a showroom with vintage Ferraris, Astons, Alfas, etc. Then you enter the shop. In there they are working on Lolas, Porsches, Jaguars, Lotus, more Ferraris, etc. All kinds of open wheel vintage race cars are being worked on. A few motorcycles are also seen. There are beautiful and very expensive cars everywhere that you look. I figured they should be qualified to do my flywheel so that's where I went. When I got there it was just before 7 AM. They open at 7. I peer through the window and I recognize it immediately. Oh my God I finally got to see one. A Healey 100S! It was beautifully restored. Oh man. It seems that it was restored in Australia. I was told that it was one of the first 3 of the 55 made. I don't know it that was all true or not...but I finally got to see a 100S. Very nice. I'm happy now. Just had to tell you all about it.

If you buy 48 spoke daytons you will have no problems with them. The 48 spoke rims and 165 tires help preserve the lighthanded, elegant and superbly balanced steering and handling qualities of the 100. If you are putting fatter tires, then you have to get 60 or 72 spoke rims. Buy the rims and tires from Hendrix. Trust me on this.

I went with a fatter tire (Thanks to Allen Hendrix's recommendation) and purchased everything from him. The man is a magician. I recently sent a customers' wheels, tires & rear drums to him because NO ONE could balance them or reduce the shakes. Had them back in a flash and the car is smooth as silk all the way to the Century Mark! One drum was off 2.5 oz and the other 1.5. Several spokes bent, wheels out of tune and the usual factory Vredestein slightly square tire issue.

Depends also on how you plan to use it, if it is purely a mild mannered cruiser 48 is probably the way to go, if you like to get spirited with it or autocross, then maybe an upgrade to 60 or 72 spokes is more in order.

I almost switched to the 60 spoke wheels, but then thought, heck, the car has gone for 46 years on 48 spokes with no failure, apart from a few broken spokes (3?), so there can't be much wrong with them. That 46 years included ownership as a foolish 20 year old that occasionally drove the daylights out of it (poorly). So I put 48 spokes back on. I like the open, "spidery" look of them. I opted for the wheels from Wheel Services in the UK, bought through Bob Yule at Autofarm, and I am totally happy with the choice. cheers, Mirek _______________________________________________ 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 May 14 09:30:39 2009 From: Jwhlyadv@aol.com To: eyera3@gmail.com, sebring@illawarra.hotkey.net.au Date: Thu, 14 May 2009 11:28:36 EDT Subject: Re: [Healeys] Healey Sighting I once pushed Fred Cohen's 100-S out of the way so I could help John Chatham push DD-300 on a trailer.

Check your shocks and you can also have someone drive next to you when you have the symptom - if they see the wheel bouncing or wobbling that will confirm it. Rebuilding your shocks will almost always fix this problem.

These cars were built for high speed sustained highway miles and they run all the better for it. You'll usually find that you, the driver will be the weakest link; the car will just want to go on and on. Once she earns your faith and trust, you'll find that this trip was the best thing you could have done both for yourself and for the car.

Mine first did it on slow acceleration with two adults and two kids in the car going up a slight incline from a dead stop. This put a significant stress on the joints!

The tape works well at keeping heat in, no question. My car's exhaust is pistol hot at the tail pipes (that's heat that isn't being dissipated in the engine bay). I believe the engine runs a bit cooler for it. I posed this question to the List and some said the tape traps moisture but that made no sense to me because any moisture (e.g. rain) on hot exhaust parts get evaporated immediately (plus, I sprayed high-temp silicone sealant on the tape and it appears to make it waterproof). I read an explanation in hot rod magazines that seems more logical to me: the heat retained in the manifold or pipes is more than mild steel or cast iron can endure and the parts disintegrate from the inside out (the hot rodders call the effect on headers "mummification"--probably not doing much good for my glasspack mufflers, either). The ceramic coatings--e.g. Jet-Hot--supposedly handle this problem by coating inside and out. I can't vouch for the ceramic coating as I haven't used it (yet), but others probably will. If you do wrap your manifold you should wrap your downpipe as well, as the gas passing from a hot to a cooler, denser region will encounter increased back pressure (or so it was explained to me by a Jet-Hot rep).

This car has the chassis number of an approx. Nov. '55 BN2, but the body number tag is from a March '55 BN1. Checking further, there is a good under frame shot clearly showing the torched out lines of the original BN1 gearbox mounting and a cobbled mount for the 4 speed box's stay rod. Looking back at the number tags more closely, I believe the batch/body tag to be original and undisturbed, while the obviously replaced chassis number tag has the tell tale evidence of different replacement screws. Hmmmm, I wonder what her BN1 number really is. Of course it could be checked with BMIHT when needed. This Hundred Registry data certainly is useful to identify things like this.

However, I also had information on another BJ8 whose body number did not match the VIN, but the body tag DID belong to the first car. Subsequent investigation determined that both cars had spent some time in the same repair shop (now defunct) in the 1990s. The registry made it possible for the first car to get back its original body number plate. Things like that can only happen if there is a central location for the details of as many cars as possible to act as a clearinghouse. Because the I.D. plates were only installed with screws, there has been ample opportunity for many cars to lose their true identities, and there are a LOT of BJ8s out there in that boat. The BJ8 registry has been able to correct the misidentifications in 20 or so cases over the last 10 years. By the way, if anyone out there owns HBJ8L/38868, I have your original body number plate, which was the one installed on the first car. How do I know this? Because as BJ8 registrar I have access to the BMIHT archives to match the body and chassis numbers.

Twice now I have driven my BJ8 in Colorado and have not made any carb adjustments at all. The only obvious effect I have noticed was at the top of Pike's Peak (14,000 ft) and last summer at the summit of Wolf Creek Pass (10,000 feet). The carbs will become richer with altitude because the air pressure is less and the air is less dense but the fuel flow stays the same. If you want to compensate, you should lean them out. But I wouldn't bother unless you are going to stay at the very high altitudes.

I must echo Steve Byers' comments about an active Registry being time consuming. I am finding the Hundred Registry keeps me rather busy at times (and I love it) though the level of activity is nothing like Steve's BJ8 activity, likely due to the comparative numbers produced and the fact that the Hundreds are a decade older. I can see where a Registrar who cannot keep up with the contributing entries on a daily basis could soon get buried in them and take a while to respond. I receive on the average probably 4 or 5 new numbers per week from many various sources, and wherever possible I try to reply, often asking for further information to complete the data. I always try to thank them for their efforts of contributing and can usually add a bit of information they may not be aware of regarding their car, such as the various details that should be on the car for their given build date, etc. This personal contact very often pays off with the contributor sending even more information or coaxing their friends and acquaintances to do the same.

The nominal elevation adjusted for these parameters is known in aviation as "density altitude" and is essentially the altitude an aircraft "thinks" it is flying at. At sea level, on a hot, humid day the density altitude could be equivalent to a couple thousand feet (a "standard" day is 15degC/59degF and 760mm/29.92 inches of mercury in a column barometer). Because of this you will lose power no matter what and the engine will run a bit richer (SU carburettors compensate for this somewhat because the less dense air will not raise the pistons and jet needles as high for the same throttle opening). I live at sea level; when I drive above 3,000 feet--and expect to stay there awhile--I'll open the throttles (slow-run valve on HD carbs) to get the idle back up to 700-800rpm and lean a bit. Make changes you can remember; e.g. "raised jets 4 flats to lean" and "opened throttles one-half turn." Then, you can reset the carbs when you descend (HD carbs make this really easy, I'm less familiar with other SU models).
