Naturally, you folks came through like the champions you are. *Hardtop headroom:* Some folks reminded me that the replacement seat foams are inches thicker than the old ones. On the MGC, when I did a replacement, I had trouble getting under the steering wheel. Had the thing taken apart and cut down, and it is still close, but OK. My 6ft+ son still has trouble. The Healey is a bigger car, and I had no trouble after the seat rebuild until the Hardtop. Now I know I can have the seat taken apart and cut down. I don't plan to use the HT that often, so the seat will remain the way it is. *Clutch pedal problem: *I damaged the Healey when my foot slipped off the clutch and the car crashed in the garage. I asked for some suggestions, and someone (Linwood?} suggested racing pedals from Dennis Welch. They were expensive, but work great. Once I removed the standard pedals I realized another reason for my foot slipping off. The pedals are arced, and your foot only contacts a portion of the pedal. The Welch pedals are only slightly wider and but they are flatter than the standard ones, are metal, and have little projections, like th ones in a strawberry jar, that grip the sole and make it almost impossible for the foot to slip. Too bad the designers of the MGB made the pedal part of the levers, or I would be getting them for the B&C, even if I have't had any trouble. Thanks to you all for help and lively discussions.

Well at least up to a point. I drove old cars as my main car as much as 55 years ago fitted with SU pumps. These were mainly Morris Minors and A-H 100s plus a few 'odd balls'. I now drive a 100 as a classic car. In all those years I have rarely had problems with pump points if certain care is taken and no, I don't regularly clean the points. On Morris Minors a 'L' type pump was normally fitted and this had a single pair of point . These did not give much trouble and at one time about every fourth car on the British road was a Morris Minor. However when the HP (High Pressure) pump started to be used with same single points there were some problems. This gave reliability problems on early 100s if these had the early AUA 36 pump with a single contact fitted. The official service replacement was the AUA 56 and this had double points. From that time on I personally never had a problem. Here however I have to admit that at that time I did not own my own 100 but did look after a colleague's who was better off than me. Later on the pump was superseded again but was virtually the same but with a raised cap to allow for a capacitor. Later still, as you know, they replaced this with a diode. If SU electric pumps were not reasonably reliable then how is it that cars made in large numbers such as the Mini and prestige cars such as a Jaguar continued to use them? Back to my own recent experience, the only problem I have had over the last ten years or so is the over tight diaphragm as discussed previously and a contact riveting coming loose from its spring leaf. In this case the contact stayed half in place but by doing so stopped the second pair of contacts taking over but made poor contact itself. This was clearly a manufacturing fault. As you perhaps now realise I have a high regard for SU pumps if they are set up correctly. I don't say that they are perfect and they do appear to attract a lot of bad publicity. I believe that a lot of the problems might be with the people who supply them! Perhaps they should provide a full test certificate with each one? Regards > >I think we're in violent agreement here.

Seems everybody agrees on one thing: SU pumps require regular maintenance. I suspect if the pumps' reliability wasn't an issue then SU wouldn't have added first capacitors, then diodes and, finally, electronics (to completely replace the points). Some people may think rebuilding the pump every few thousand miles is routine, others, like me, think they ought to go longer than that without maintenance. I worked on them for years in order to get them to last, without fail, for my annual 3-4K mile road trip. After servicing, the pump might go 3K miles or it might go 15K miles. If the pump gave up the ghost in the middle of nowhere or when passing a logging truck on a windy mountain two-lane it could be particularly unnerving. If the pump was working well I was loathe to open it but, in hindsight, maybe I should have. I'm also not convinced filing or sanding the points is a good idea except in a pinch; better to replace the points IMO. I always adjusted the diaphragm per the book, and that may have been part of the problem . Just because other cars used them is not exactly an endorsement, either; remember British cars in general--especially older ones--have less than stellar reputations for reliability (the pumps may be part of it, along with wiring, etc.). Since I've replaced my BJ8's ignition points with an Ignitor and the fuel pump with an SU electronic, my BJ8's drivetrain is nearly as reliable as a modern car's; and I can concentrate on tasteful upgrades and fixing whatever else breaks or wears out. YMMV. bs Bob I think that I am one of the people that you are in violent disagreement with. Well at least up to a point. Regards > >I think we're in violent agreement here.

The bullets should be staggered. If they aren't I'd remove them and put them back on staggered. I would try using some thin fishing line and wrap it several times around the wires at the end so that the four wires and bullets are held tightly with each other (so that they can double back on themselves and jam). Then use your heavier line to attach to the first bullet and pull the lot through. That should work just fine.

Then masking tape the whole bugger tightly, so it is smooth and there are no exposed ears hanging out. The masking tape's smooth finish helps it glide through, and the residual oil in the tube helps lube it (and will help the tape to release. Good luck.

It was an exercise in frustration. When I installed a new trafficator wiring harness, I cut all of the bullets off of the ends, leaving about 1-1/2 inches of wire connected to each bullet. After the harness was through the tube, I soldered the cut wires back together. To make this easier in the future if the harness needs to come out again I did not twist the wires together before soldering, but just laid them side by side so the wires aren't damaged. I used heat-shrink tubing to insulate the joints after soldering.

I should mention that the original bullets are still soldered on the ends. I've tried running bailing wire up the tube and pulling the harness back through but it gets jammed up at the opening. So I tried heavy duty fishing line but the second or third bullet just gets jammed and am wondering if anyone has successfully reinstalled the trafficator with the bullets still on and if so, how did you do it or do I need to cut off the bullets and pull it through and then solder new ones on? I wanted to avoid the latter if possible but if not, oh well.

I also know some Listers are having trouble posting--hang in there, Jerry, we'll figure it out eventually--but probably no more than a few.

I tried wrapping the bullet connectors up with hair- thin wire and a small amount of electric tape to hold all the wires in place and pulling it thru but it kept getting caught up and I didn't want to damage the wiring loom. It takes a few minutes of time but I simply heated up the bullet connectors with my soldering gun and they easily slide off, wrapped up the harness and slid it thru and then put a little solder flux in the bullet connector and on the end of each wire. Push the wire into the bullet connector so it just protrudes out the hole inn the end of the connector and touch a bit of solder on it. The good news is that there is a good length of harness to work with once it is pulled thru the stator tube. > Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2009 21:04:25 -0700 > From: bspidell@comcast.net > To: stevesylvia2@comcast.net > CC: healeys@autox.team.net > Subject: Re: [Healeys] Trafficator Harness Installation > > Did this a few years ago.

After all you were able to get the bullets to pull through the tube when you pulled it apart, right? ;) I used some multi-stranded electrical wire as my 'pull string'. About the same gage as used for most of the light gage wiring on the car. After feeding the wire through the stator tube, stripped a good inch or more of the outer plastic and wrapped the stranded wire 5 or so times just under the base of the #1 bullet. Then used just enough stretchy electrical tape to make a slim package of all the staggered bullets. Do what ever you can to get the bullets to be staggered and nested. It's the last bullet that also has multiple wires to bind that gets thickest of course. Then it's helpful to have someone pulling from the front and you guide the bullets into the tube (o.k. I didn't have this but it still would have been helpful). Once you can carefully get them past the opening you are home free. I didn't need to but you could put a little carnuba wax or equiv. on the electrical tape to help reduce friction. Cheers, John Hi all, ... how did you do it ..

I then tied the string to the longest harness wire using as thin a knot as possible. I wrapped the string and all the connectors with electrical tape as tightly as possible and covered the tape with grease. While I pulled the string out the steering box end, a helper worked the wiring from inside the car. A little fiddling and the wires emerged unscathed. Not as difficult as I feared it would be.

The needle is driven by a flat disk that is in turn driven by a spinning magnet--i.e. magnetic coupling--driven by the cable. The needle shaft is (apparently) hardened steel that sits on brass 'bearings' (actually, just holes in brass fittings). A light, concentric, watch-type spring resists the magnetic driving force and should return the needle to its stop. I can only speculate, but some possibilities are (since your odometer is still working): - something has gotten stuck in the needle mechanism; possibly between the driven disk and its housing - the needle pointer has some loose from the needle shaft (it's just a press fit) - the spring is broken or has come loose from its moorings (would probably cause the speedo to read VERY high, and needle to not return) - something has gotten stuck in or gunked-up the brass holes where the needle shaft rides Getting the speedo apart is not too difficult; you have to remove the tripmeter reset knob (small roll pin), unscrew two screws in the back, remove the glass cover, needle and faceplate, and it helps to remove the housing for the high beam indicator. Then, the mechanism can be gently canted to remove. The car's polarity is not an issue.

You can really slice through everything with those. If you can get a grinder with a variable speed trigger, that might be better for dressing welds, most of them sold seem to be full on or full off. These things are also great for cutting down bolts or studs that are too long.

Next time the car stalls pull over and pop the tops off the float chambers. If one of them is empty you have a clogged or bad float jet. If both of them are empty you aren't getting fuel. Could be a bad fuel filter or bad fuel pump or clogged fuel tank. When diagnosing your car not running, always check fuel / ignition at the end and then work your way back. So if ignition, check the spark plugs and work your way back. If fuel, start at the float chambers and work your way back.

I've read previously that the front bottom flange should go below the frame tabs. But, my shroud bottoms out at the top rail leaving the bottom flange of the shroud about 3/4 in above the tabs. On one side, the shroud has two holes lined up with the holes on the tab, but, the other side has no holes. 1) Could the front top rail be raised too high - it actually looks fine, but I know the car was lightly hit. 2) Does the shroud actually bolt to the frame tabs? I've looked for photos on several resto sites, but, cannot find a good pic of this area.

In the OFF position, the switch grounds the primary circuit, which shorts the current to the coil and prevents spark. When I installed a Pertronix, I reversed the coil lead on the cutoff switch to ground the circuit in the ON position, and open it in the OFF position, preserving the rudimentary anti-theft 'device.' bs ----- Original Message ----- From: "BJ8 Healeys" To: healeys@autox.team.net Sent: Friday, June 5, 2009 2:14:21 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: [Healeys] Stalling Problem Hi, Bob - The white/black wire from the battery cutoff switch to the coil is intended to permanently ground the coil when the switch is turned ON to prevent the car from being started (as by hot-wiring).

That way you can adjust each frame tab where you want it and not where it wants to be. Yes these tabs do bolt to the shroud eventually. The shroud is a tight fit in the areas that you mentioned but it will eventually pop over the rail you mentioned with a bit of gentle persuasion.

Is this h=the original shroud? There are adjustable tabs, or brackets on the top of each of the front wheelwells. One on the brackets, is screwed to the opening of the hod (bonnet), and the other rests along the inside of the lip of the side of the shroud flange where yhe third bolt from the front passes through the shroud and wing. They are adjustable via loosening the two bolts that pass through them. If these tabs are too high, it can prevent the shroud from shroud from lowering.B Are the holes lining up at the front of the hood (bonnet) opening where the countersunk screws pass through radiator support? that's the tell here- if the shroud does not line up in this area, you know there is something hanging up the shroud from lowering into its position. Good luck.

I'll try your suggestion. Can you tell me how long the should be? I am concerned with the distance that the bolt passes into the shifter, so it captures the shifter without inhibiting movement. I think that my problem was that I pushed the roll pins in too far, or maybe they were a hair too small. When looking downward from the top of the shifter, how far into the slot on the shifter does the pin get pushed? Does anyone know the dimensions of the correct roll pins? If I can just pick them up at the hardware store, I might use that as an interim solution til I source the bolts from the Nocks on a future order. It's supposed to be gorgeous today here in Jersey, and I'd like to be able to drive. I installed my windshield this week, and am curious to see if the Healey is as much fun to drive without the wind in my face.

So, yes the dieseling could definitely be related to the lower octane and the fuel is combusting off a hot spot in one or more of the chambers. With respect to misfiring, if you mean "knocking" then yes, that is a symptom of too low of octane (or too advanced of timing).....not a good thing to do for a continued period of time...puts lots of stress on the engines and can lead to cracked or damaged pistons. To get through the tank of fuel either add an octane additive or retard the distributor until you don't get the "knocking". Alternatively, the fuel mixture could be too lean which will raise the temperature of the chamber and can also cause diesling.....is the care burning hot??

When I bought my 1966 BJ8 from the original owner I found there was a key secured to the firewall by one of the screws mounting the vehicle identification plate. Was this a factory practice or was this something possibly done by the original owner? Eventually, I removed the key. When I did I found the screw holding it was very tight, difficult to remove to gain access to the key. I interpreted this as an indication that the key may have been there since car construction and the key location was a factory practice. Can anyone offer information?

However, I had some serious expense with an octane booster in my DB7 after an idiot had put the wrong plugs and wrong gap in. I had been told to use the additive since the DB needs 92-93 octane. The dealer said the additive fouled the plugs and burned out two sets of coil packs (because of the wrong plugs). (one coil to each cylinder $$$$). No problem since the right plugs and gap but I'm nervous about the additive again. I now add one gallon of 100 octane to each tank of 91 and it works but I would like to know the experts' views on the list on octane boosters in modern cars with electronics, high compression and superchargers.

I recommend you do your own research and draw your own conclusions. Try net searches on 'gasoline additives,' 'octane boosters,' 'octane rating,' 'tetraethyl lead,' etc. I think you'll find the bulk of opinion on fuel additives is that they're little to no help at best, potentially damaging at worst (as you've already discovered). My Mustang's owner's manual specifically states not to add anything to the gas or oil and that it could void the warranty. Is your DB's requirement for Motor, Research or R+M/2 octane fuel? If it's for Research method--as is often given in European literature--91-octane R+M/2 may be adequate for your DB (Research method is typically 3-4 octane higher than R+M/2). If not, adding 100-octane--as long as it's unleaded--as you're doing is probably the safest and most beneficial way to raise fuel octane. Your car may be fine on 91-octane pump gas--since your DB is electronically controlled it probably has a knock sensor that will change the engine tune: retard timing, enrichen mixture, etc.--to prevent damage. Of course, you won't be getting the last few HP out of it--you'll just have to manage on, what, 500HP?

If you look in the drivers handbook of early car, will tell you the location of the extra keys. On early TR3's, the extra set of keys was in the light over the license plate. On the TR4's, the handbook stated the extra set of keys were in the tail light rear lens, passenger side. I was at a Triumph National meet where a original 5,000 mile TR4 attended the show. I showed him the TR4 driver's handbook to see if the extra keys where still there. He later showed me two wilmont breeden keys, two different head shapes, round and T head that dropped to the ground when he removed the lens. I also believe the TR Herald or Spitefire stated that the washer bottle held a set of key. I also read that the 74' or 75's TR6's had spare key in the turn lens on the front of the car. I was advised by a MGA car person, extra key was screw to the heater housing. On Jaguar XJ6's, on the driver's side of the car, front wheel well had a ledge with keys and code numbers in a small plastic bag. Also, copied data: Hidden key MGBbs Key hidden in the engine compartment? Chris, I remember that a key was somewhere under the hood and I think somewhere near the fuse box, but it's been almost 29 years since I bought my 72 B and I removed the key and gave it to my wife not too long after I bought the car.I remember thinking that it wasn't such a good idea in the first place. I think the key may have been held to the passenger wheel well by a screw. Key hidden in the engine compartment? I don't know about the later cars, but check the early car owner's manuals. The key is in the windshield: washer bottle. I ran into the same thing - the key in my '67 water bottle was there when I needed it about 5 years ago. I put it back when I was done Re: Key hidden in the engine compartment? The key is screwed to the right hand fender well. It was placed there, from my understanding, in case the other keys were lost in shipping. "The key hidden in the engine compartment has never been removed." I have seen at least two MGBs that have the second key fixed to the right side fenderwell about four inches "behind" the coil and partially hidden by the wiring loom. Cheers! Rick Ingram When I get request from car owners who lose there keys, advise Jaguar owners to contact Mike Cook who will provide key code numbers for early cars with proof of car ownership, year and model, Vin number etc. For all other British car owners, advise to get a car build record.

I was even told the reason I had the problems (fried knock sensor and coil pack) was the fouling of the plugs by the additive because of the wrong plugs and gap, not just the additive. Sigh. Good point about the rating system. Don't know for sure. The '97 is an inline 6 supercharged engine developed from a racing Jag prototype (not used on the street). It develops 360hp and 330 torque but it is a relatively light car. When I get on it (daily) it pings if I don't have the increased octane. Not a nice sound over the scream of the supercharger. The Aston is meant to be driven daily and hard, unlike the Italian Stallions. I do my part. I've only checked my mileage once in 5 yrs. I recently lead 10 LBCs to a rally in San Diego and one of the Healeys had a problem overheating so I followed him back at 60-65mph. I decided to check the mileage and got 26mpg! I think I usually get about 12. Car just about idles at 65. Thanks everyone for the input. Guess I'll just continue using the gallon of 100.

Years ago I tried every booster and lead additive I could find. Nothing helped the running of my BJ8 until I was guided to leaded race gas. I now add one gallon of 110 0ctane leaded race gas to 6-7 gallons of pump gas. My Healey ignition timing is set to spec advance and a little beyond without any pinging under load or running on when the ignition is turned off. I have been running this mix for at least 15 years without any side effects. Some day in the future I will tear the engine down (first ever) for a rebuild and we will be able to see what the insides of the combustion chambers and valves look like. I am expecting they will be very clean. But we will see. I just was on a 225 mile tour with the Oregon Club last weekend and my 119,000 mile engine ran strong and a little cool. I think race gas is the additive you should be looking for if your engine is stock, i.e., has not been modified for unleaded useage.

Junkmail filters at MSN and hotmail are shockingly lousy. Too much spam works its way through, not matter how many times I identify junk. It's a bit tiring. Hotmail and MSNs options are also very limited. Both Yahoo and Gmail function MUCH better with respect to junk. Once junk is identified, they tend to keep it way forever. Gmail is by far the best in this regard.

Otherwise these large tires are fine on my car. However, I do wish they had more grip on the road surface.

A few years ago, I was driving back home to North Carolina from Halifax, Nova Scotia and stopped in Yarmouth to fill up with gas before boarding The Cat ferry. While filling the tank, I noticed a small box of apples for sale next to the pump, so I bought it for later snacks on the ferry and put it on the back seat. When I got to Bar Harbor, ME and was passing through customs, the agent asked the usual question whether I had any fruits, etc. Having forgotten about the apples, I said "No." He asked, while laughing, "What is that on your back seat?" Eventually, he let me pass with the apples, but he said if they had been Granny Smiths he would have had to confiscate them. Apparently, they were O.K. since they came from Canada.

I am helping a Club member bleeding the brakes on his '53 BN1 but have been unable to get a hard pedal on the first stroke. On the second stroke, they grab very well but if you wait even for 1 minute, it goes to the floor again on the first stroke. The following has been done: Replaced all 4 wheel cylinders, new repair kit in master cylinder, rear brake liners replaced and of correct thickness. When trying to isolate the problem by pinching the rear brake hose, the front brakes are great and maintain good pedal, so the master cylinder is not the problem. All three brake hoses are practically new(3 years old), not cracked, or showing signs of any leaks. All the brake lines are tight. The problem appears to be at the back but don't know where. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I am helping a Club member bleeding the brakes on his '53 BN1 but have been unable to get a hard pedal on the first stroke. On the second stroke, they grab very well but if you wait even for 1 minute, it goes to the floor again on the first stroke. The following has been done: Replaced all 4 wheel cylinders, new repair kit in master cylinder, rear brake liners replaced and of correct thickness. When trying to isolate the problem by pinching the rear brake hose, the front brakes are great and maintain good pedal, so the master cylinder is not the problem. All three brake hoses are practically new(3 years old), not cracked, or showing signs of any leaks. All the brake lines are tight. The problem appears to be at the back but don't know where.

MY theory is that there is a small air bubble that won't bleed out with conventional bleeding. It just moves back and forth with your bleeding. By leaving pressure on the pedal overnight or for a day allows this bubble to work it way up the line to almost the master, and then when you take pressure off of the pedal the bubble winds up in the master reservoir. My other thought is back the adjusters way off on the brakes so it takes lots of pedal pumps to get a hard brake pedal. Then when you open a bleed screw the brake return springs will move lots of fluid (and hopefully that #%$^$# bubble) out the bleed screw. $.02 Rick On Wed, Jun 10, 2009 at 9:09 PM, Rod Shepherd wrote: > G'day mates, > An OLD TRICK with BN1s, is to pump them up to obtain a hard pedal, then > place a length of wood against the pedal and wedge it so that the pressure > is maintained, leave this pedal pressure on for about 24 hours, then see > what you have. _______________________________________________ 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 Jun 11 01:32:58 2009 From: "Greg Wilkinson" To: "Healey List" Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:32:44 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] British Car Forum Hi Alan, I haven't seen any problems.

You can replace the existing generator by a generator look alike alternator, but they are very pricy. A Lucas 16-18ACR or Delco equivalent was the usual alternator in the late 60's/70's/80's. Found on most British cars (Mini, Triumph, MG, Landrover, Jensen Healey etc.) from that era plus a few other Europeans e.g. SAAB. A partial very simple rewire is at hand as there is no control box neccesary. These Lucas units can be found new for less than $60 in Europe. I do not know the US situation.

However, it is my understanding that, if you are a US citizen and get an alcohol DUI in Canada, there is the usual large fine, a waiting period, then you have to go to drunk school, and finally pass a test. You can get reinstated and be allowed back in but not until all is properly completed. Now, if you have been inspected and found to have other illegal drugs, it is my understanding, you are not allowed back in ever. I think it is the same rule for US felons. This year we were asked for our passports when we crossed over from Minnesota into Ontario. They always ask about guns, alcohol and tobacco. One other note is at Warroad my buddy with an electronic pain pump had to walk through the main building because they were x raying all the vehicles and boats.

It may understeer a bit more, but I can't tell in the type of driving I do (spirited at times, but no track work). I think the steering got a bit heavier, but I offset that with Torrington bearings for the king pins from BCS. I run 185/70 radials on 6" rims. The Addco kit is very well made, and complete. You'll probably have to carve out a notch in your bumper brackets to make room for the larger bar. I talked to someone at Addco before I bought; it's a family-owned, American company--top notch. Very good service (Summit was back-ordered for a couple weeks).

The principal change will be to reduce body roll at the front of the car (generally good to a point) and transfer weight (not always good). The result can be increased understeer or increased oversteer depending on the balance of the car prior to the bar change. With a soft chassis and body, the rear of the car will see more roll than before the change, which may increase or reduce grip at the rear of the car, depending on the car's dynamics. The ultimate purpose of front and rear sway bars is to balance the car's roll couple distribution, which, in turn, is initially determined by the car's static weight distribution, the stiffness of the chassis, the front and rear spring rates, the front and rear roll centers, Panhard bar or Watt's link location, type of rear axle and suspension set up of the front and rear axles. A front sway bar that is too stiff is detrimental to handling by causing too much loss of grip on the front inside wheel (that is why some say it promotes understeer). What is too much depends on the car and how it handles before and after the change.

Richard, Get your friend to join this email group so we can keep in touch. We are just beginning a full restoration on BN4L-O-28797 so we can probably be of good benefit to each other as we wade through the process of getting two very early BN4's right, which quite frankly up to now has been very rarely done. According to the BMIHT certificate, 28797, with batch and body 3052/326 was built 25 October, 1956. When was 27544 built and what's her Body number? Most folks yield to temptation to install the later cylinder head for the added horsepower, and another interesting piece of Healey development gets lost. I am looking for a complete engine assembly as well including carbs and linkages.

At that, you could put $30-40K into a restoration--assuming you 'farm' it out--and have a car worth about what you've put into it.

I don't know who buys the Tanner cars, I can say thy are pretty, but not anywhere near as accurate or correct as they are supposed to be. I remember the one that was or sale in Scottsdale a year or two ago. It was supposedly Gold certified for originality, but just by looking at it you could tell it wasn't correct enough for that level of certification. As with most things at Barrett-Jackson these days it's no longer about the cars themselves, but more about throwing scads of money around and who has the deepest pockets. I normally attend Scottsdale annually, but I think this year I may go to Russo & Steele instead.

At various times over the years I tried stop leak products. Most seemed to put in some sort of particulate material that would swell somewhat in water. Some worked -more or less- for a time. Over the years my faithful beast ran hotter and hotter. When I finally tore down the engine in year 25 I found the dead spaces in the water jacket - around the base of each cylinder and up as much as half way- to be filled with a deposit roughly the texture of soggy newsprint. Fine insulation preventing cooling. So I do not recommend commercial stop leaks. However, I must admit that the pepper idea sounds intriguing in that I suspect it would stay in suspension and not deposit.

Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A New York Times reporter has watched the whole event. The reporter says, 'Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.' The biker replies, 'Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.' The reporter says, 'Well, I'm a journalist from the New York Times, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page...So, what do you do for a living and what political affiliation do you have?' The biker replies, 'I'm a U.S. Marine and a Republican.' The following morning the biker buys The New York Times to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on front page: U. S.

Barrett-Jackson is a business that is into the cars only for a profit and could not be expected to care which car is which or to know about the Healey registries. I wasn't saying B-J should check with the registries about the provenance or validity of a car; but anyone who is interested in buying a BJ8 should be aware of the registry and should check to see if there is any record of the car.

Of course, you know that Healeys are not in the Car Fax system. My only criticism of B-J is that they do not identify by VIN the cars they have up for auction.

Chinese curse -- "May you live in interesting times." And we all know that traveling with an old car can be "interesting" indeed. This past Tuesday morning a woman named Emily Anderson started out from NYC in a 1909 Maxwell in what is already turning out to be a very "interesting" trip -- retracing the 1909 transcontinental journey of Alice Huyler Ramsey, the first woman to drive an automobile across the USA. (Those of you who are AACA or VMCCA members have read about this project in the club magazines.) I met the group when they arrived in Poughkeepsie, NY, on Tuesday afternoon (two hours late--already had to weld a broken spring bracket!), just to cheer them on, and have been following them since on their website. If you want to find out just how "interesting" a trip can be, go to http://aliceramsey.org.

There are a number of reasons why. B-J has to place an auction estimate on the cars- the difference between a numbers matching Roadrunner and an non is pretty large. Secondly- they have to check the VINs to ensure that they are not opening themselves up to a liability nightmare- as your Sage Green example shows. Third- they have to make sure that they aren't selling a stolen car or a car with a clouded title. B-J MUST have seen the BMHIT cert and the fact that they chose to use the wording that they did seems to me to be nefarious indeed. The fact that the owner was good enough to display the BMHIT Cert and Speed was good enough to show it doesn't excuse the presentation by B-J IMO. _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Fri Jun 12 15:01:51 2009 From: Richard Collins To: , Webmeister Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:01:16 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Barrett-Jackson VIN's FYI at the BJ in Palm Beach this winter, a Healey (Black and white rally replica) getting set up for the block had the wrong cert. on the window; My son, who is into technical details to a fault re Healeys, pointed out a problem to the owner re VIN's on the Cert and VIN on the car. The owner/restorer gulped and went back in his bag for the correct one. The VIN number gave it away as having a weird certificate associated with it. In this instance it was just a nervous seller making a clerical error that was caught before being paraded prior to Speed Channel catching it.

My son and I went out to finalize the sale in Green Bay, Wisconsin and planned to cross Lake Michigan on the Ferry and continue home across Canada to upstate NY. We got to the ferry parking lot in time to see it leaving the dock and headed out to sea (or rather "lake".) I spent the next hour teaching my son to drive a stick shift (in our new-to-us Healey) in the ferry parking lot! The rest of the trip is another story. -pd- '66 BJ8 At 06:51 PM 6/12/2009, gary brierton wrote: >Coming back from the delegates mtg. in St. Louis, I crossed the >Mississippi on a "6 car ferry" to Grafton, Ill.

I once owned a '70 Jag XJS V12 and normal maintenance was to add two(2) satchels of Bars Leak to radiator after flushing out. I never had a problem with leaks. Also, semi-trucks (aka: 18 wheelers), often use a radiator additive available at any truck stop for leaks in their cooling systems. I can not think of the exact name at the moment, but it wasn't expensive and worked great. It was something similar to Bars Leak, or might have actually been the same thing but was available in a powder form. I would not put a whole container of this in a Healey radiator but just enough to do the job. It very well could assist someone in a temporary repair of a leaky casting plug or radiator. Good enough for $20k engines, should be good enough for a Healey engine.

Over the years my faithful beast ran hotter and hotter.

I've taken my BJ8 on the Block Island Ferry, The Put-in-Bay Ferry and the Jamestown Ferry. By far the most difficult was the Block Island one, and THEY wanted to drive it on/off. No way, say's I---fortunately. I had to snake it very carefully and still scraped a little. They were VERY unhappy with me, but---that's the way it is. I've also had my Healey shipped to Europe and back on a large car hauling ship; driven on by them. No damage. Size up the access ramp to the ferry and drive on accordingly. tom ---- Bob Spidell wrote: > I've taken my BJ8 on quite a few ferry rides in the Pacific Northwest and Canada.

On further thought pepper would not likely stay in suspension when there was no coolant flowing, but would settle out loosely - rather than form an adhering agglomeration like the stop leaks I used. Once flow resumed the pepper would go back into suspension. I presume that is the theory anyway.

Clearance? SUV's banging doors against the Healey? _________________________________________________________________ The Wolfe Island Ferry is a piece of cake to get on and off in a Healey, as Price stated we did it with about a 2 dozen Healeys on the way to Burlington. Now the Cape Vincent Ferry to get to Wolfe Island from NY is a different story. That ferry has capacity of about 12 Healeys. When we crossed we had on in tow behind a Pacifica and a second that could not go into reverse due to a OD problem. The staff of the Cape Vincent Ferry handled both cars nicely, on both ferries you drive on and off thus no noivce driving. Go for it.

Some want to make their street or race cars go faster, with period or modern mods, cool too. There are amatuers like me who do the best they can with the skills and money they have do the most all the work themselves and enjoy their cars a lot and that is really cool! And lots of stuff in between. Certainly we all have our own tastes, and there are types of cars we like better than others, I for one will linger over a well preserved original longer than a perfectly or near perfectly restored car. But love them all, and the differences in my opinion are a matter of taste and preference--not "right" "wrong" or "blame".

There seems to be people who like the Tanner Healeys even they are not Concours correct, or better they do not care or even do not know how it should be right. But they like the cars as they are and have the money to buy them. So what4s wrong with this. So there is no need for Tanner to do anything different, as he gets good money for what he does. So his patronage likes to buy the cars as they are and it would be a risk for Tanner to do the cars to original spec. Never change a winning team.

There is no legal definition for this. It is an "original" Austin-Healey, not a Replica, gold standard does not mean anything, except for judging at Austin-Healey Club events. Tanner can call it a gold standard Kurt Tanner car. I am with you, you can call it fraud, but the rules of Concours correct are not legaly fixed. It is just something agreed by a group of people.
