The problem with coating an old chassis is that it needs to be absolutely clean and rustfree in- and externally for the coating to be effective. Never have a chassis or chassis/suspension parts powder coated. Corrosion will creep under the coat out of sight when small deficiencies occur and can cause serious havoc. In fact powder coating is absolutely unsuitable for car applications when chip/scratch damage and subsequent moisture ingression and rust can occur. I regard it as a dangerous practice to do so. You may use it in the interiour of the car. I prefer simpel cleaning, removing all rust externally, as much as possible internally, priming and painting. After a couple of weeks, leaving it in a warm and very dry environment, mist the internal crevices with rust proofing wax, avoid thick layers of it, or spray/inject with a product like Waxoil. You may have to drill a few small holes to reach all area's. These are sealed afterward with plastic plugs.

G'day all You've been warned by the topic - this is about as far as you can get from Little British Cars. However, I was so warmed by your reception of Eric Idle's song, I thought I should share this presentation with you. Oz is a big Country with a small population and poor rail transport. We move stuff around the Outback with "Road Trains" - one prime mover (or sometime two coupled) with two, three or more carriages hooked on behind. Click on this link, kindly hosted by Ed, for some of our Road Trains. Click Enter to move forward during the presentation. Notice the "roo bars" on the prime mover. They are to protect the radiator and body from errant kangaroos, but also to give a little protection from damage caused by buffalo. We have many packs of wild water buffalo in Northern Australia. The buffalo like to sleep at night on the roads, as the hot tar keeps them warm. They're black, just like the road, and hard to see. Hitting a 3 ton buffalo at 60 mph makes a mess of the truck. > Ed says: Power Point Viewer is required and if you don't have, do a Google for PPV and it will take you to a Microsoft D/L site !!!!!

It is bliss to work on a car with enough room around it to move. Go for a lift, preferrably the old fashoined drive on type. You can store another car underneath if neccesary. A pit is rather useless as you cannot vary the height. It is OK for an exhaust job or changing oil, but that is about all. Make sure you have enough space (loft?) for parts, you will be surprised about the volume it expands too. Do not forget to extend the central heating of the house to the garage and apply heat insulation. Depending on the area you live an airco unit may be better in combination with a dehumidifier. Fit an old kitchen unit with hot and cold water, fridge/freezer, large electrical oven. Fridge /freezer is not only for the beer. It is to store certain materials that keep better when cold and to cool down parts for better fitting combined with other parts to be heated in the oven. A toilet is not a bad idea either. I am sorry I did not install one when I build my garage. Fit a big extractor fan and install several 5kg or larger fire extinguishers of the halon, CO2 or foam type but ensure you use the correct variety for petrol/oil fires. The rest is covered pretty much by the comments of others.

You should see the havoc played on powder coated parts and objects. Even intentionally outdoor objects like flues that are powder coated can rust away completely in a relative short time, the coat just falling of in large blisters once the coat, far worse than if they are primed and painted. The adhesion and corrosion resistance once damaged of the powder coat seems to be less than with the traditional way of painting. The best way to preserve the chassis would be to have it dip galvanised after all repairs and other welding has been done. It would add some kilo's but it will stiffen the chassis and it will not rust in at least a lifetime.

I went through two compressors before I bit the big one and got a high quality unit.? The only down side is the really good ones are not portable.? Mine is bolted to the floor and I've piped the air to two other locations in my 1100 square foot garage via copper piping.? The unit I bought is an Ingersol Rand Model SS5L5.? It has a 60 gallon tank and runs a 5 horse power motor with 11.8 hp peak.? It requires a 230 volt connection.? It reaches 135 psi max., and runs at 18.1 CFM @ 90 psi.? With it I can do HVLP painting, bead blasting, and run all sorts of air tools without overtaxing the compressor.? I bought mine from Northern Tool.? They had a good price and free shipping.? I'm also going to look into a Zip Wall system to allow the creation of a temporary paint booth for painting large parts and car bodies.? Presently I have a plastic sheet enclosure that I secure to the ceiling when not in use.? The Zip Wall system allows for the creation of any size booth area and can be taken down and stored when not in use.? Finally, put lots of high efficiency fluorescent lighting in the garage and about twice as many outlets as you think you'll need, including outlets in the ceiling from which you can suspend extension retractable reel extension cords.?

I do powdercoat all parts on the car that need paint (suspension, brackets, etc) I also powdercoated floor of my Beetle. Few observations I made: - for sensitive parts, where paint thickness is not important, I do paint it first with zinc powder paint and then color - paints that are mat were porous - my bumpers painted just black mat on my Range Rover begun showing signs of rust after few years. - I observed paint coming off in large spots (what Kees talks about) on my Beetle fenders - I believe the problem was poor preparation, where the pieces were not sandblasted sufficiently (the shop was afraid to ruin the fenders by heavy blasting) - yes, I always protect all threads... The electrocoating process is new to me though, and I kind of like the idea, as, as I imagine it will protect also the inner side of the chassis members. I also read you can in fact powdercoat it later on. Anyone has more experience with electro coating?

When I upgraded my home service to 200A for my spa, I ran a 60A 220 line to the garage and put in a sub panel. If there is any chance whatsoever of mice or rats, do not use romex, go with metal conduit. When you are wiring the garage take a label maker and label each outlet as to which breaker controls it. Sooner or later, this info will come in handy. Put in lots of outlets. I also installed a wall switch on my garage door opener circuit, so if I want to totally disable the system, (vacation) one flip of the switch and that door is not opening. Lights. Lots. Figure out what you need and then double it. if it is not burning the paint off of your car it probably isn't bright enough. In a standard 2 car garage I have 8 8' florescent bulbs and 4 4' florescent bulbs. I have the lights on 2 switches. One switch just fires up the light by the freezer for my wife, the second is DAYTIME! For a work bench, I bought a pre-made Formica counter top that had a corner chipped off at one of the big box stores for about $20. While I would not want to weld on it, it is fine for everything I have thrown at it for the last 15 years. The second thing is I used cantilever legs on the bench. I bolted a 2X4 to the wall studs and extended it diagonally to the frame I built for the counter top. This allows me to sweep all the way under the counter to wall. I would also use two one car garage doors rather than a double door. I would build the the garage so there is at least 5 feet between the doors. Ten would be better. this will give you walk around room. for both your daily driver and any project you have in in progress. Build the shop at least 10 deeper than the longest car you will ever park there. 15 or 20 feet would be better, again walk around room. You also need room for your tool box.

Much easier to put it in that thick rather than having to cut and re pour part of the slab. If you are putting in a rack make the stall extra long so you can have your car back away from the vertical posts to make it easy to get in and out of the car. With a rack you will need at least 10 foot wide stall 12 would be better. In grounds are easier to work around, but above grounds are cheaper and easier to fix. If you can swing it, go for a 12-14 foot ceiling with a rack. (some racks are just under `12' high others are just under 14' high) This will allow you to put a tall SUV on the rack and not have to sweat banging the roof against the ceiling. If you paint the floor, do a light grey. DO NOT do a black or dark color. Dropped nuts disappear when dropped on a dark floor. I know one dealer that spent $25K to redo a black floor in light grey 3 months after they opened for this very reason. It looked awesome, it was a PITA to work with. A second story with a staircase, and a coverable hole in the floor with a hoist of some sort will give you plenty of storage room. Carry the small stuff up the stairs, uncover the hole and lift the big stuff with a chain hoist or come-along. On your compressor, bigger is better, but if you are not sand blasting or doing body work, a 2-3 hp is probably adequate. Before you install the compressor turn it on its side, remove the drain valve, install an elbow, and a piece of pipe that extends past the edge of the tank with a valve on the end. This will make draining the water much, much easier. If you are real creative, run a pipe from the valve to outside and you won't even make a mess inside when you drain the compressor. Good luck and have fun.

Some are so over the top that they defy all logic. In any case visit: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/ Look in the Gallery section and you will spend a week reading all the different stories people post showing their complete build process and then how they outfitted them. Check out the garage the guy in Utah built, you will not believe it. There are posters from all over the world, providing a perspective as to what others are doing for their hobby space, and it is fascinating. Time spent reading what people have built for specific purposes will help you decide what is important to your needs. I for one feel a garage cannot be too big, and a lift is a real help. Lighting is extremely important as are electrical outlets, an air compressor with a dryer, heat and AC, with in-floor heat preferable as others have said.

It will only last a short while and can cause a very smeary windscreen. If it has gone to Nano technology, like so many other comparable products, it can be bliss. However it only works properly at speeds over 40-50mls/h as the droplets will be blown right of the windscreen. Below that speed you still need the wipers and you will have a slight misty smear of very tiny droplets for a second which is annoying, this even happens if your wipers are top notch. One application can last as much as 6 months. You have to clean the wind screen very thoroughly first using ethanol. For some reason it does not work so well on brand new windscreens. No idea why.

In general, you can use the lowest octane-rated gasoline that prevents engine knock (the rattling noise you'll hear under load--e.g. lugging or climbing a grade--if the octane is too low). Knock--aka detonation or ping--can be very damaging to an engine over time; an occasional rattle probably won't hurt. Some Listers get by with regular 87-octane (R+M/2), some--like me--use premium (in CA, that's 91 R+M/2). Or you could split the difference and use mid-grade. Make sure your timing is set and advances correctly, then try the two (three) grades. Unless your engine has higher than normal compression, premium with no additive will probably work just fine; esp. if your static compression is at/under 170psi or so. Protecting the valve seats is a different topic. Under normal driving, it's probably not going to be an issue; exhaust valve recession has proven to be less of an issue than originally thought (ZDDP anyone?). You can throw in a bottle of 'lead substitute,' though I wouldn't bother and just plan on pulling the head and installing hardened seats and alloy valves if/when they start to leak. BTW, you get no "boost" from using higher octane gas. The energy content is actually higher in lower octane gas (it burns faster therefore releases a stronger 'explosion'). You only need the higher octane to prevent detonation in higher compression engines (which do give you a boost). bs Paul Leeks wrote: > I wonder if I can get some advice re the type of petrol for my BN4. > > Over the last ten years I have used standard unleaded (Octane 95 RON) along > with Castrol Valvemaster Plus which claims to provide an octane boost.

The engine now has 120,000 miles on it and never been rebuilt. The compression now averages about 158 psi for all six cylinders. I tried every octane booster and pump gas cocktail I could find, all to no avail. I adjusted timing and did everything I could think of to stop it. Finally, one of the local racing shops suggested trying a mixture of leaded racing gas and pump gas. I was given a nomogram by which one could select a desired octane rating and thereby determine the ration of race to pump gas. To obtain a calculated 97 octane I have used one (1) gallon of 110 rated leaded race fuel to six (6) gallons of pump gas. I have been running my Healey on this fuel mix for about fifteen years. Is it a little expensive? Yes. Does my engine ever knock or ping? No, never unless I back off of this mixture. Does my engine run on (diesel) and require dragging the clutch while in gear during shut down? Never. At the outset of using this formula I conducted a complete engine tuning. I checked the carburettors adjustment with a Colortune. and set the burn to a very slight richness. My Healey runs very smoothly and sounds fantastic. Finding a source of leaded racing fuel is a bit of a challenge. I have found that a local motorcycle repair shop is the best source of race gas.

Paint all Walls and Ceiling a bright white and add plenty of flourescent light fixtures. Be sure if you add electrical do make sure that there are outlets for Chritmas Lights...yep!! Purchase Gladiator cabinets (or something comprable) and be sure to add the casters to them (I didn't and learned). Wife needs at least 2 cabinets for "her stuff" and they need to be accessible without having to walk over, around or through your car parts or car to get to them. The above goes hand-in-hand with parts being out-of-sight and neatly stored in garage cabinets. Everything is neat and clean and all stuff is cleaned and put away everynight. Do not do any major handcleaning in kitchen sink near meal time. Attic area for storage of stuff not immediately needed and ALL boxes labled clearly... "Healey Parts" and also "what parts" are inside. Do not put your wirewheels in the dishwasher to be degreased/cleaned...ever!!! (don't ask). All non-funcitioning or marginally functioning yard equipment needs to be updated and hung and stored neatly on the Wall on pegboard or other suitable materials made especially for this purpose. You might consider running over them stuff needing replaced as in the Home Depot commercial if all else fails. Higher a landscape service to take care of the yardwork if possible or move to a Homeowners Association where it is included in your monthly assesment.. Valuable shop time need not be needlessly interupted while working on the Healey!! Go to the internet and lookup "garage layout and design". Also, spring for a good looking garage floor! There is a really neat lift that bolts to the floor and is reasonably pried but I don't have information on it. Maybe someone on the List does?? I happily co-exist in a two car garage.

The good news is that we're planning to be re-united sometime next year, when I will be building a house, garage and workshop on a piece of land just purchased. So I'm looking for you guys with fantastic garage and workshop facilities to give me loads of advice on equipment, layout , services etc. etc. The basic specification for the garage/ workshop is:- Two car garage + workshop; Lift/pit (which?); facilities for all mechanical work including engine rebuild; limited welding facilities for smaller jobs but not complete bodywork. Please copy list.

His request approved, the Fox News photographer quickly used a cell phone to call the local airport to charter a flight. He was told a twin-engine plane would be waiting for him at the airport. Arriving at the airfield, he spotted a plane warming up outside a hanger. He jumped in with his bag, slammed the door shut, and shouted, 'Let's go..' The pilot taxied out, swung the plane into the wind and took off. Once in the air, the photographer instructed the pilot, 'Fly over the valley and make low passes so I can take pictures of the fires on the hillsides.' 'Why?' asked the pilot. 'Because I'm a photographer for Fox Cable News,' he responded, 'and I need to get some close up shots.' The pilot was strangely silent for a moment. Finally he stammered, 'So, what you're telling me is.... You're NOT my flight instructor??' No virus found in this incoming message.

Turning the nut first in the tightening direction slightly, and tapping on the cylinder and/or nut to set up vibrations to help the penetrant to penetrate might also help. Whenever I assemble threaded hydraulic fittings, I always use Teflon tape on the male threads to make sure the threads don't seize for me (or the next owner, after I'm dead).

In general, you can use the lowest octane-rated gasoline that prevents engine knock (the rattling noise you'll hear under load--e.g. lugging or climbing a grade--if the octane is too low). Knock--aka detonation or ping--can be very damaging to an engine over time; an occasional rattle probably won't hurt. Some Listers get by with regular 87-octane (R+M/2), some--like me--use premium (in CA, that's 91 R+M/2). Or you could split the difference and use mid-grade. Make sure your timing is set and advances correctly, then try the two (three) grades. Unless your engine has higher than normal compression, premium with no additive will probably work just fine; esp. if your static compression is at/under 170psi or so. Protecting the valve seats is a different topic. Under normal driving, it's probably not going to be an issue; exhaust valve recession has proven to be less of an issue than originally thought (ZDDP anyone?). You can throw in a bottle of 'lead substitute,' though I wouldn't bother and just plan on pulling the head and installing hardened seats and alloy valves if/when they start to leak. BTW, you get no "boost" from using higher octane gas. The energy content is actually higher in lower octane gas (it burns faster therefore releases a stronger 'explosion'). You only need the higher octane to prevent detonation in higher compression engines (which do give you a boost). bs Paul Leeks wrote: > I wonder if I can get some advice re the type of petrol for my BN4. > > Over the last ten years I have used standard unleaded (Octane 95 RON) along > with Castrol Valvemaster Plus which claims to provide an octane boost.

The aluminum oxidizes and swells so much that it usually locks the fitting irrecoverably. I have tried every penetant known to man but nothing I have found will dissolve aluminium oxide. You will probably have to resort to heating if the situation is very bad, heat seems to cause aluminium oxide to break down but avoiding melting the aluminium requires a fine touch and the plating on the line and flare nut will be ruined requiring their replacement. Percussive harassment (hammering) will occasionally help but usually the threads in the aluminium cylinder will be damaged. The force created by the oxidizing aluminium is often sufficient to crack the cylinder at the thread anyway. In my experience be prepared to replace the cylinder and probably the line..after all these are brakes you're are dealing with and you don't have the luxury of a dual braking system!!!

Since the advent of unleaded fuel I've done only a few and not due to seat recession. It's more apt that your head was already damaged from leaded gasoline or by lead additives. I tell folks to NEVER use lead additives or they will be doing head repair. It certainly doesn't hurt to use stellite valves and hardened seats on the exhaust valves. Especially under racing conditions. However, most old classic cars are never driven hard enough or long enough to warrant them. As to your machinist, he too may not have realized that the unleaded fuel/seat recession scare never panned out. Probably much like the ZDDP stories may not be a huge issue either. My opinion there is that the oil companies simply will not sell a lubricant that will cause large scale damage to consumer's vehicles of any age. The damage to your pistons (lands) was due to too much ignition advance causing detonation (which can not always be heard) It is FAR more important to check for total advance than initial. Have your distributer curve checked ~ every five years for advance performance. Dave frogeye@porterscustom.com Mike, when I had my BJ8 head rebuilt, the machinist told me that I had significant valve recession.

Valve jobs or decarbonizing were also very cheap. The end result is a deeper seat and a thinner valve. Result, the head appears to have valve recession. With our current thinking that "I only want to do this once more in my lifetime," we replace the valves and just about everything else and insist on addressing those deep seats. Result, like new appearance and a much bigger repair bill. As an aside, some heads are tolerant of deep seats and some crack like fried marbles. AH 100 heads are prone to cracks (in various places), six cylinder heads less so. Also remember that replacement valve seats are not fool proof (good machinists or not so good, overheating, etc) and can come lose during use. Not often but neither is the failure rate with deep seats. Just a few thoughts....

The product for automotive application is probably the same as for the application on building windows. The latter is way cheaper. Brands in the NL are: Percenta, Maxxlube, BestProtect, Nanomaxi, Europrotex, Bestprotect. There are many more. Overhere most firms that replace windscreens also provide the service of applying the product to the windscreen. There are differences in quality/durability. Also application can differ. Some need cleaning with a sort of polish first, others need a couple of hours before you can use the car, aplication temperature seems to be over 20C most of the time. It can be a bit of a cowboy market and brands seem to change regularly. A couple of years ago I tested a few products for the ANWB, the Dutch AAA, and all worked (some better than others) on all the windows of the car, do not use it on the door mirrors. Durability varied It is very good for motorway driving as the waterdroplets are blown of when driving over 40-50mls/h, it really improves visibily considerably and you do not need to use the windscreen wipers, but it is less suited to town driving where you still need the wipers, it will leave a slight mist for about a second on the screen after a wipe, which can be a bit irritating with lights ahead.

Learning from his mistake and carefully weighing the consequences, I decided to do the same thing, after all, my first wife complained about my going to the 25 cent car wash and getting grease and crud all over my "hobby" jumpsuits and having to wash them a few times a week. It only makes sense that if you have the tire off the rim it's the right thing to do. Well, I had all 5 wheels, plus a 6th one that I forgot about, and put each one in and selected the heavy duty "pots scrubber" mode and went to it. I do reccommend a "degreaser" before putting the wheels in(one at a time). Also, the spotless rinse free cycle works great on chrome wheels(so I've been told). I was happy with my results of all five wheels when she came home and discovered the 6th wheel, which I forgot about(lost count). Silent reatments are deadly to the Healey budget!! Co-existing in a two car garage: Happily married to my second wife and although the new dishwasher is superpowerfull as compared to the previous one of several years before, I do not push the issue of using the dishwasher. I also did the garage FIRST with her needs before taking care of Healey wish list. Second wife is great, even helped me assemble the storage cabinets, etc. She has only one requirement and that is her Honda is in the garage everynight. My Healey is undergoing a total restoration(Jule frame up), and is on a dolly unit that I made that I can roll the car to the middle of the garage and than back again when done working. Second wife is in Europe right now and her Honda is parked outside the garage and there's no way she'll know unless the neighbor(s) squeal.. As I get older, I get more(Healey $$), by taking care of number one. Always restore or update your garage first so you can work on your Healey in an "organized" fashion. It'll save you time and money in the long run plus you'll feel good about being organized.

That is an overdimensional load, not a road train.These are under police escort all the time where road trains are not They come up this way all the time usually taking equipment to the coal mine sites or power stations in western Queensland.Sometimes they have up to 3 units pulling and 3 pushing from behind depending on the weight sometimes up to 380 tons. They are joined together by a stiff bar with drivers in each vehicle. The trucks are usually of different gearing so that when changing gears it varies so that most are under power all of the time.

(*I'm under 40*) I think it's a pairing of demographics, availability and exposure. A good example is looking at the pre-war car prices. When I was a kid, going to shows, you'd see tones of 20's-40's cars. You don't see them any more. Why is that? The generations that knew these cars and either A) wanted them, but couldn't afford them when new, or B) had one, and want to remember what they were like are gone or dwindling fast. Certain marques will always be in high demand to high-end collectors (e.g. Duesenbergs) but the lowly Model-T just isn't in demand any more. And over time, availability of these cars dries up. I've heard plenty of stories from Healey folks about buying their cars for $500 to $2000 dollars in driveable condition. When does that happen any more? When you account for prices, that drives many people out because the average car guy doesn't have 40 to 50,000$ to spend on a restoration (vs. a nice Chevy C-10, parts are cheap, they look good for their era, and you can't walk 100 yards without tripping over one). Finally, it's exposure. I grew up in a car family, most of my friends did not. So, while my mum and dad were teaching me about 50's - 70's british cars, and grandpa was teaching me about the pre-war cars, my male friends had posters of Testarossa, Countachs and Deloreans (thanks to Back to the Future). So, if you do not know something exists, then you can't "want" it. Interestingly, of late I've been meeting a lot of younger guys (my age and as young as late teens) who are buying old british cars. But, they're buying things like Spitfires and rubber bumper MGs. Why? Because they're cheap, you trip over them frequently, and they're just rare enough to be cool.

I've been an Austin-Healey owner (paid extra for the hyphen) for over 26 years. I bought my BJ8 at the end of the era when the clubs were more for sourcing parts than for social activities (some clubs maintained their own dismantling yards for parts). Then, companies like Moss and VB came along and there was less/no need for the dismantlers and they disbanded. If Moss--who is wisely now also sourcing parts for Miatas and Mustangs--can't make a go of it we may have to return to the dismantler era. I do anticipate some resiliency in demand for our LBCs, however, as some people will refuse to drive nothing but cookie-cutter, electric/hybrid people movers (I bought my Bullitt Mustang partly in anticipation of this eventuality). In hindsight, the outrageous recent prices paid for 'collector' cars--inspired largely by the muscle car mania (read: BJ)--was as much a bubble as dotcom stocks and real estate. What we'll likely see is a return to normalcy; i.e. mostly hobbyists and fewer speculators. bs Greg Lemon wrote: > Oh Randy, you may have a point, "How long are they going to stay in > business when it cost 2-3 times > what a car is selling for to restore it." ... > > That being said I am more worried about demographics hurting the > availability of parts and services for "our cars" than car values, a > friend of mine just had a talk with one of the managers at Victoria > British ... > > Greg Lemon ******************************************************************* Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ******************************************************************* _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Oct 4 09:35:32 2009 From: "Geatros" To: "'Healey List'" Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 08:20:08 -0700 Subject: [Healeys] Young Healey Owners...

Originally I had leaks in this area and decided to try and silence the leak. Someone on the list suggested using Stainless Steel plumbing repair couplings without the rubber insert. I installed those and reinstalled the standard muffler clamps over those. Everything works great except that when I start the car the exhaust hits the frame and makes a banging noise. When the car is running everything is fine. Having been cursed with being a perfectionist I want to eliminate the banging. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good clamp that is wide enough to seal the joint, probably 3/4"-1" and has good clamping capacity? On another note, Barrett Jackson Las Vegas is next weekend. Even though the prices resemble a Monopoly Game, the bidders are more in tune with Healeys than the ones that go to Mecum. Before we succumb to the low prices everyone is concerned with, it will be interesting to see what happens next weekend. There are currently 4 Healeys to be auctioned.

My 18 and 14 year old sons have asked me for years who gets the Healey when I'm too old to drive it or die. They both love the car and will run out of the house just to drive down to the end of the driveway with me when I move the car out to work on it or look fro something inthe garage. My driveway is maybe 30 feet long! They love the smiles and ways kids of all ages give the car when we go for a drive. I told them that they both get the car and must share ownership. One can buy out the other, otherwise they must share the cost of ownership and alternate years of possession. My personal experience is that our cars have become too expensive. I bought mine for $500.00 over 35 years ago. It is my hobby. The MG club is showing a younger demographic and increase in membership, while our clubs still caters to older wealthier members. Many of our events take place during the school year and or at expensive resorts. As a parent and school teacher I can not participate. My car still needs rust repair and a complete interior, even after all these years, but mechanically it is as good as any high cost auction car. In the old days, club members go together to help each other fix our cars, today I get referrals to a good mechanic. I honestly don't know if it's me personally, the fact that I have had young kids or the condition of my car, but I have never felt really welcome by my local club, except for a handful of folks I count on this list for advice, but some helpful hands would be great. I enjoy spending time with my MG /Triumph owning friends.They seem less snobbish . On Sun, Oct 4, 2009 at 9:09 AM, wrote: > Couldn't agree more.?

The only people that see the cars are the other owners who have seen all the regular attendees many times. Only by bringing the cars closer to the public and advertising locally will they be seen by the greatest number of non-club Healey owners, those who owned a Healey once, those who had a friend or relative who owned a Healey, those who wanted one but never got it, the kids that think it is a James Bond Aston Martin, etc, etc. Years ago, several local shows were held indoors in shopping malls.

We arrived early, set up the cars in the end zone area and had hundreds of kids (and their cute momma's) stop and look. I always invite kids to sit in the car and I had a few dozen do so and they had their photos taken. At half time we drove the Homecoming Queen and her court around the track surrounding the football field, all the kids were respectful of the car, just remind the football players to remove their cleats before they get in the car. I don't know if it really made a difference but we had a lot of fun.

Well, we just came back from the Waynesboro VA British Car show, held in a residential area park, with grass, trees, free admission to the public, the 28th year, and I think it was a great success. Lots of people from the area got to wander around all the cars, talk to owners, and see if they would be able to own one.

Age is not important. Most people who belong to any organization share a common goal or interest. What they do outside the group is not relevant. I find that many times I have more in common with some of my younger associates than contemporaries. The important issue is the Marque and those who share a common interest regardless of age. If we start to catalog enthusiasts by age or any other attribute, you begin to fragment the group and lose the ability to operate as a cohesive unity and promote the Marque. The Healey is ageless as should be its enthusiasts. IMHO. Doug > YES, we need active younger owners! Both of us being 37, we > sometimes find it > difficult to relate to the elder crowd.

Some guidance if you will. I recall discussions in the past regarding how to fit the glass into the frame on a 100-6. Archive searches haven't revealed anything so I am risking the wrath by asking for an update. My frame has been re-chromed, the corner brackets have been cleaned and replated and I have a full set of new countersunk screws. It all goes together nicely. New glass and rubber glazing kit has been obtained so I am about good to go. My starter questions to kick things off:- Do I cut the square 'packing' rubber into four seperate pieces or does it wrap inside the channel and over the brackets in one piece? Similarly, do I cut the flat glazing tape into 4 pieces with mitred corners or should that be wrapped around in one piece, trimming the excess in the corners as we go? Finally I recall a tip in earlier threads that advised painting the rubber with fuel after assembly to cause it to shrink before finally trimming of the excess. Is that correct a figment of my imagination?

I had the same problem and made shims out of 1" wide aluminum strips purchased from a home center. Forget whether the aluminum was 1/16 or 1/8 thick. I shimmed the 'u' part of the clamp to make it snug against the spring. The 1" is wide enough to bend the edges over to keep the shim from slipping off the clamp.

I was at a snooty bar in Scottsdale, AZ one night for business purposes. A fellow found out I was a car guy and started to tell me about his BMW. Apparently I wasn't impressed enough about it so he got all in a huff and proceded to tell me I knew nothing about cars. (I think my response was, "meh, they're ok").

I've heard the term, but have a short memory about some; ok, 'most' things; so I had to look it up. from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penis_envy " Penis envy in Freudian psychoanalysis refers to the theorized reaction of a girl during her psychosexual development to the realization that she does not have a penis. Freud considered this realization a defining moment in the development of gender and sexual identity for women. According to Freud, the parallel reaction in boys to the realization that girls do not have a penis is castration anxiety. In contemporary culture, the term is sometimes used symbolically or metaphorically to refer to the idea that women wish they had a penis, or to refer to anxieties between men about the size of their genitals. " I think it is a fairly common belief that men who drive cars like the e-type have feelings of inadequacy ( I assume that this what you meant by "penis envy"? ), but these conceptions aside, it is a beautiful car. Maybe to compensate, e-type owners could drive a spridget as a second car? :) I tend to dismiss these theories. Oh, I joke about it, and it may be true in some cases, but my theory is that men generally like cars. ;) I stick to my attraction to what I perceive to be the feminine body of the Healey, though my wife would choose the Jag. Freud has pretty much been dismissed, hasn't he?

I see five communications from you/to you with copies to the list on that subject. If the replies are not edited, they tend to become very long with question, response, return response, etc etc etc still appearing. Those will NOT be posted as they will be over the 3k limit. This is an automatic function of the way that the list is set up. And bear in mind that I believe that the headers and footers count towards the 3k character limit. Such posts are referred to Mark who decides if they should be posted. As far as monitoring, Mark runs about 30 lists and I am sure that he does not have time to look at each and every post. I rather believe that he does not look at many if any at all.

Two possible reasons are that you didn't reply to all and that your message was longer than the automatic system on the list currently allows.

Again, I've learned a lot from you. One question emerged while I was reading one post and remained still unanswered to me. One person (don't know who it was) said that the crankshaft is interchangeable. I now know that the cylinders on the 3000 block were siamesed while those on the 100/6 engine are evenly allotted over the length of the block. My understanding is that the center of the big end bearings have to be exactly in the center of the bores, which is not possible with the same crankshaft on both blocks.

They produce a 10:1 compression ratio, which was great at the time but means an octane additive with today's gasoline. One could obtain pistons with the raised area slightly larger than the combustion chamber in the head, and then file/machine the raised portion of the piston down so that it's footprint matched the combustion chamber, less the necessary clearances. The theory was (maybe still is) that internal combustion engines are more efficient at higher compression ratios, although my experience is that any increased in fuel efficiency is quickly offset by the driver's right foot once the added performance is discovered. I suspect you are correct in that the camshaft is not standard. Again, back in the early 1970s, the "thing to do" was to mate a 280 degree cam with the pistons, which I did. Both are still in use today with no problems. I think the only issue the current driver has is understanding the need for an octane additive.

While it is possible to bore out the 100-6 block you risk having problems with too thin cylinder walls. The 100-6 crank and cylinder head (6 port) are identical to the 3000 so you can use all of your 100-6 bits with a 3000 block. You just need new pistons.

The blue Healey (while touted as a ground up) had a fair amount of wear in the carpet and trim. The top appeared to be new but was very poorly fitted and didn't seal well along the windshield. Several items in the engine compartment were not original and the wiring seemed to be pieced together in places. The respray had some issues as well. I don't know how long ago the restoration had been done. If it was recent, it wasn't concours by any stretch of the imagination. If done a while ago, several repairs had been attempted and unfortunately not to a newly restored finish. At $39K, it would have been a fair buy for the buyer and a good sale for the seller. The Kurt Tanner restored Healey was in much better condition. While not typical Healey colors, it was a beautifully appointed car. The bonnet was down as was the top so I couldn't inspect this one as closely. I wonder how long ago Tanner did this car? Regardless, it was very well done and very well maintained. It would have been a great buy at $61 and a loosing sale for the seller at that price. The car should get more money at a better venue. There was also a '67 BRG E-Type that came up for auction and didn't sell. This was a beautiful V-12 car. That was it for British iron. In the end, I think the Mecum auction was just the wrong venue for British cars. There were some absolutely gorgeous American muscle and classics on display.

Cover the keyboard with Saran wrap to minimize grease and junk in the keys. Use it to store digital photos of your car as you disassemble it, keep your maintenance records, and cross-reference all your references and information with the part number and pdf page number. Presto, a complete working record of your restoration. If you hook it up to the internet, you can even order parts and put in queries on this list. And all of that can be done on any computer made in the last ten years, I think.

They fit fine and looked good. However, because of the thickness of the fiberglass, about 1/4" had been taken off the edges of the hinge pillars where the back of the front fenders attached and along the edges of the shut faces where the front of the rear fenders attached. When I restored the car I replaced most of the underlying sheet metal including the shut faces and hinge pillars. I didn't want to cut those up so went with new steel fenders which didn't fit as well as the fiberglass ones without some surgery. I didn't have to mess with the underlying sheet metal.

Actually it is about 75 lists, with roughly 12,000 subscribers around the world. I've not done a count of what sort of message count the server sees on a daily basis. I do know, however, that at the moment I have 4,608 unread admin messages waiting my attention,ones that are notices of spam sent to lists, user mailboxes over quota, unreachable addresses and such. And there are another 6,392 messages being held by mailman due to posts being too long, non-member submissions and such. Like the one from Mary Orrit that was held because of too many recipients, but was forwarded to the list by Dean yesterday. That one is handled. So at the moment there are nearly 11,000 emails I need to read. The exact number changes by the second. How long would it take YOU to deal with 11,000 messages? How many would you actually read? Sure, I could take the easy way out, say screw you all and delete them, but that's not how I run Team.Net. Remember, I do this on a volunteer basis in my spare time. I do on occasion ask for contributions like the recent whining disk fund drive. That is another issue I need to deal with soon. There may be some down time as I shuffle hardware. For those of you who missed it, you may want to click on the donate.html link below to go to a page with info on how to contribute. My job would be A LOT easier if people took a second or two to pay attention to what they are doing when they send off messages. The majority of times something doesn't hit the list is because it is TOO LONG. Sure, it may only be a few lines of new material, but a lot of mailers automatically include THE ENTIRE ORIGINAL POST in the reply. I do realize that it takes a long time, advanced computer skills and several years of post graduate education to figure out how to highlight and delete any unnecessary text from your response. I really should write up some web pages about how it all works, how to make the best use of Team.Net resources. Maybe as soon as the current crop of 11,000 messages are done - let's see, at say, 10 seconds a message, ... 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 Oct 7 23:56:38 2009 From: "Mr. Bill" To: "healeys@autox.team.net" Date: Wed, 07 Oct 2009 22:35:36 -0700 Subject: Re: [Healeys] ear plugs, etc., Hi Jim, You never crossed into California, but I believe such devices are illegal in our state.

As a bike rider (BMW R1100RS), I always wear earplugs. When I don't, I can't believe the noise level. Someone told me about do-it-yourself customer earplugs. I haven't tried it yet, but it's tempting. I've read that the custom plugs let more noise through than the cheap foam plugs. My temptation is to mold earbuds into the foam, to have tunes while I ride. [1] Here's a d-i-y earplug kit; it's cheap enough to try even if it fails. For the 2-way radio, this might work: I like Whitehorse as a vendor, since they are close to me and have great customer service. You can find similar products if you Google. [1] I currently have speakers in the helmet. [2] The foam plugs keep out the wind noise, so I use a small amplifier [3] to pump up the volume so I can hear the MP3 player. :) [2] speakers: [3] amp: -- Kent McLean '56 100 BN2 _______________________________________________ Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html Healeys@autox.team.net http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys http://www.team.net/archive From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Thu Oct 8 10:49:10 2009 From: "Simon Lachlan" To: Date: Thu, 8 Oct 2009 17:32:21 +0100 Subject: [Healeys] Water pump lubrication.

Also, shows like 'Muscle Car,' 'Extreme 4X4' and, yes, 'American Chopper' can also give a few good tips now and then. For the sills and outrigger, you have to make sure the new are aligned with a) the remaining structural components and b) the door and door bulkheads. The best way to attach the sills--IMO--is with plug (aka 'rosette') welds. You'll need a MIG--could be done with gas--and you'll want to use a higher voltage setting than you'd probably expect to get penetration on the flat surface. I have a DVD showing how to do good plug welds--the main 'tip' is to start the weld on the edge of the hole, not on the flat underlying surface. Then, grind the weld flat and if you want use a flat-tipped punch of appropriate size to dimple the weld to simulate a spot weld (optional). The other welds should be butt welds. Measure, measure, measure and cut. If possible, bevel the edges of the metal to be joined. Measure and adjust. Then with the parts aligned and held firmly tack them together every few inches. Measure and adjust. Fill in between the tacks with short, intermittent welds up to about a half-inch, 'backfilling' the welds to avoid preheating the metal. Cool with a blast of air. Measure and adjust ... Grind and sand. Paint. Tools required: - air compressor (can use electric tools instead) - air cutoff tool (3" preferred) - angle sander (I like 3", can use 4.5" electrical for larger areas). Flap disks OK and/or grinding wheels - MIG welder (gas, if you prefer) - body hammer and dollies - clamps (vise-grip-like C-clamps good--available cheap at Harbor Freight) - measuring tools and MkI eyball bs -------------------------------- Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA Hi I getting started on rebuilding my 57 BN4. I have been looking in the archives and elsewhere for some material on how to replace the sills and at least one outrigger. I haven't found any good info on how to.

Yes, I am having a difficult time just processing how in the space of 60 days it feels like so much has slipped away. I have lost a lot of weight, I have physical discomfort but I AM NOT DEAD AND I AM NOT DYING. I have Ulcerative Colitis (google it and you will see that it is a little understood auto-immune condition and plays out differently for different people). I am taking a course of several medications, both steroidal and not, and the hope is that things will heal and turn around for me in a few months. If drug rehab does not do it then there are surgical alternatives, and I will certainly not be the first guy to have to bite that bullet. That said, the drugs are quite overwhelming. Sometimes they confuse me, everything tastes wrong, I feel like my feet are on backwards, and because I am also taking pain meds I am not currently able to drive. Because of these and other things I sometimes feel a lot of loss, sadness and am no doubt alternatively irritable and I know I am not the best patient. My wife Mary (who gave the report that Michael Salter forwarded earlier) is a wonderful person without whom I would be lost, and I am trying to be compliant but I cannot say that the picture she portrays would be the one I might paint nor do I always feel she understands all. Nevertheless I am okay with what she shared and I will simply fill in a bit . Generally my energy level is good and I have been able to be over at my shop for several hours a day, though today I had nothing to give. I have decided my racing season for 2009 is over and once I do some things to the Elva to get it ready for next year I will pack it up for the winter in its trailer. OTOH there are lots of things that I have been putting off doing to the 100. I never really completed the fitting of the NICAL hardtop, the side curtains still need to be finished, I want to run a compression leakdown test, and also check clearances of the oil pump as the oil pressure drops to 20 at hot idle and though I know Michael Salter says these cars do not need oil I do want to investigate the internal condition of things, etc. Me--Part two to:follow.

I intend to stay active on this list and the AH British Car Forum, both of which are great sources of info to me and I know others. And with any luck both me and my cars will be just fine come 2010 and ready for a new full season. I also am going to try to stay engaged in a program that will keep me out of despair and self-pity. I have so many things and great friends for which to be grateful and I plan to stay in touch with all that. I have gotten many nice messages from folks on this list. Many offer prayers and ask me if I am into it. No I do not pray to a formal god in the sense that many do but I have my own Higher Power and sense of the Universe as all of us do, and I am continuiing my life search to see just where I (and this illness) fit in . In the meantime all offers of help, prayer, spiritual or physical or other sacrifices, incantations, etc. etc. will be cheerfully accepted. With any luck this phase will pass and I will soon be able to return to my normal, self-absorbed personum! So I am happy to hear from you all and now perhaps we can get back to the world of Healeys so we can continue to overpuree such topics as earplugs, Crumpet Catchers, etc. with the occasional journey into something actually important! BTW I will no doubt be asking many questions of the 100 crowd as I will likely be running across some new things for myself as I tear into the engine. I think I would like to put on a smaller pulley and also check to see what is the condition of my harmonic damper. It jas been on the car about 50K miles since I had the engine rebuilt about 7 years ago.

I asked him about the best protection for shooting. He said the simple yellow foam cylinders work best IF properly inserted. Roll up lengthwise between thumb and forefinger then place in ear and hold deep in place until it expands. You can buy them cheaply by the hundreds on-line. If it seems like they are too far in, you have it right. I spoke with the engineers at Bose a couple of years back. Their technology only works well with constant, low frequency sounds. I was working with them to design a unit for dental offices (hand-pieces and suction) but it didn't work. I used to shoot almost every weekend for many years. The custom molded ear pieces for shooting cost about $600-800. They are designed to allow or even enhance normal sounds so you can hear the trap and your fellow shooters but block the instantaneous muzzle blast. SWAT uses them so they can enhance hearing when clearing a house but not hear the "bang" as much. I think they would be useless for driving noises. Same goes for the "over the ear" sealed noise reduction systems designed for shooting. I have tried the "in the ear" Bose noise cancelling ear buds in my wife's 350 Lexus (noisy on the FWY) to listen to books-on-tape. I don't think they help much. Probably would work fine on a plane. So...I use the foam plugs when driving my BJ8 and it REALLY makes me less trashed at the end of a long drive. I can hear sirens just fine. You can buy them in tan instead of yellow so the CHP can't see them anyway. Hope that helps. Ron Davies Laguna Hills 67 BJ8 97 DB7 don't need ear plugs :-) -------------------------------------------- Has anyone used the noise-cancelling earphones from Sony, Panasonic, Bose or Sennheiser, etc.?

This straightens the ear canal and makes it easy to insert the plug all the way in so when it expands it fills the ear canal. Watch the F1 drivers put in their (Very expensive) fitted ear pieces and they do exactly the same thing, pulling up the ear to insert the ear pieces. BTW, for racing, I've recently switched to "Hearos" which I buy at my pool supply store. They're designed to prevent swimmers ear by preventing water from getting in, and they have the advantage of a stiff core around which are three layers of softer rubber that actually makes the seal, so that they go in more easily. They have the same advantage, cutting out the high-db engine sounds of all the unmuffled race cars but still allow me to talk to my pit guys, and hear unusual sounds like rattles, gear noises, and so forth that might signal a problem. _______________________________________________ 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 Oct 9 15:07:36 2009 From: dwflagg To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Fri, 9 Oct 2009 16:47:39 -0400 Subject: Re: [Healeys] 100-4 Petrol Cap This may have been discussed before, but is there a source for the "cork" gasket fitted to the inside of the 100 gas cap?
