More pressure ( given the same psi of input pressure, more square inches of surface area = more total pressure.) Further travel on the pedal to get the same effect at the wheels (The volume of a cylinder that is 1" dia by X height is greater than a cylinder of 7/8" diameter by the same height) But hey I have been wrong before...

The Austin-Healey Club UK is a Limited Company and is subject to UK law. We have a law called the Data Protection Act where member information and therefore car owner information cannot be disclosed without the permission of the person in question. Some UK Clubs appear to get around this by having this permission granted when they sign up as members. Unfortunately when the membership rules were drawn up by the AHC well over 30 years nothing like this was envisaged. However the issue is not as serious as some people imagine because if we Register Secretaries receive a query that needs the owner information we either contact the owner on behalf of the person requesting the information or forward a 'to whom it may concern' letter . In this manner I don't believe that anybody needing to legitimately contact an owner has failed so long as the owner is prepared to reply to a request. This procedure does take place from time to time and works so as I say the UK law problem is nowhere as serious as some people fear.

What you say does not apply to the UK AHC. We kept far more than just the VIN/chassis numbers 15 years ago. We kept this detailed information going back something like 30 years. For example the first UK 100 Register was produced in 1970 but I agree this had limited car information. The first detailed Register started in 1977 by John Wheatley and this had body/batch number, colours original and now, condition and in addition more detailed information. This was nearly 33 years ago! In 1988 we transferred from paper records to a database with just over 300 entries but kept all the detailed information and add a little more. Now we have approaching ten times that number and all details we receive are recorded. Having said the above I fully endorse what you say The wider the registries can be publicised, the more people will know about them. The more helpful they are to individual owners, the more likely the word will spread that registries are more than an idle pastime, but can be a real benefit to the Healey community.

The six was a bit heavier car, so I would expect different cylinders. Another option is to have the 1" cylinder sleeved back to 7/8". Pressure is just force divided by area. The master cylinder converts the force from pushing on the pedal to a pressure. As you're not changing the master cylinder (diameter), the pressure is the same. The wheel cylinder converts the pressure from the master cylinder to a force. Rearranging the equation, force is pressure times area. The 1" cylinder will generate more force. Area equals PI * dia * dia / 4. 7/8" cylinder has an area of 0.6 sq. inch. 1" cylinder has area of 0.785 sq. inch. The area increased 30%, so the force will be 30% higher. You've got to change all the front wheel cylinders to the same size to keep things balanced side to side. Or you're going to have one wheel locking up before the other. Then you'll have to determine if the balance, front to rear is okay as the fronts will tend to lock up sooner than before.

I own a '51/'52 Atlantic A90 Sports Saloon. I am in the process of stripping it down to paint it. I have a BMIHT Certificate which only states the car is "Grey" which I believe to be "Steel Dust Grey" which was a postwar metallic color they used on these cars. Both inside the heater box and the bulkhead behind the dash seem to have the same color which is a soft light metallic green color. These are the areas on an Atlantic that are rarely covered over in a respray. The metallic green behind the dash is particularly telling as it seems the original factory rust red primer is peaking just below the metallic overspray near the upper parts under the shroud. It looks very much like what I would expect factory overspray to look like, so I am pretty sure this is the original color. The color itself is a light metallic green, very similar in shade to the metallic green painted on my 64 BJ8 engine. It also looks like Seafoam Green" that Ive seen on '49 A90 convertibles, although that seems to be a bit darker shade. My question is this basically the same color they put on Austin Healey engines??? So I have to ask am I seriously confused? Or in my confusion do I have all my facts straight, that my BMIHT certificate says Grey which should be Steel Dust Grey which is in fact Metallic Green??? Also, was the chassis usually painted gloss Black on these cars? What color were the engines painted? Body is coming off the chassis in a few days so need to sort it all out. Would love to hear anyone's thoughts on this.

True, the color chips may not be totally accurate but I've seen the results of Auto Color Library's colors matching on real cars. It's outstanding. Besides, it appears what you are looking for are the specific shades of grey available, and the actual green that may be close to AH engine green, correct? This sight at least gives you a start and the names of these specific greys and shades that may be close.

At the moment, first attempt, there is no "let there be light" moment. Side lights, yes but no high or low beams. Now, I've done no real checking yet so the cause may be anything. Probably some damn silly thing I've forgotten. However, when I made up the connectors that press into the back of the bulbs I thought I'd deduced which cable went where and I may well have boobed. (I'd used pictures gleaned from the web, showing blue, red and black cables going into the back of the fittings). There are three pins. Let's say the apex of the glass is pointing directly away from one and one is faced with: Pin A, on the left, a vertical pin. Pin B, in the centre above and to the right of A, a horizontal pin. Pin C, on the right and below B, a vertical pin parallel to Pin A. So, which is ground, high and low? My stuff came without a scrap of instructions.

Jim - The voltage regulator, depending on how it is set, will cutout at the adjusted amperage and voltage settings. I suspect the old generator is kicking out a high voltage setting, and the RB 340 cutout is probably cutting the circuit out at too low a setting. The other generator may be putting out a slightly lower voltage and therefore seeming to work correctly. You can adjust all of this by running the car at low idle and adjusting the point gaps so that the light just goes on at 550 rpms or so.

The local radio station requests all car owners to park their cars on the side of the road with odd numbered houses so that the snow plough can pass. Norman's wife, a beautiful blonde, hears the message, leaves the room and does as requested. A few days later: heavy snowfall again. This time the radio man asks to park on the even side of the roads, and again Norman's wife leaves the room to do as requested. A week later: again heavy snow. The radio starts its usual message but half-way there is a sudden power cut and the radio is silent. Norman's wife gets rather upset and asks Norman what she shall do as she now doesn't know at what side she has to put the car. Norman replies: "Don't bother, dear, just leave the car in the garage."

The weather gods were smiling on us as it turned out to be ideal conditions for the move; not numbing cold, just cold enough that things weren't melting or wet so the roads were clean and dry. We began about 11 AM and everything was back and off loaded by 4 PM, including a stop for lunch on the way home. The reason I wanted to share this with everybody is that fact that going out for this expedition with good friends to share the experience (and the labour) made the day even more fun and special for me. I want to publicly thank Austin Healey Club of Southern Ontario members Scott Morris, Graham Secord, Peter Svilans and Martyn Ridley for help with the move. In fact Martyn came back for almost all of the next day to help me to sort through everything so I could catalogue and take notes, while he packed and stored it all in my cramped facilities.

So like everybody else on the list apparently I cannot in good consience give you any advice on getting rid of tools. Focus on maximizing space, a stand alone shed or one of those that sits adjacent to the house for the necessary evils like lawnmowers, snowshovels, fertilizer spreaders and rakes, I haven't done this yet but sure would like to. As mentioned pegboard is good. Sounds like you may not have room for a loft, but even if you have an 8 foot or 9 foot ceiling there should be room for high shelves around the walls (I have done that with some 30" shelving at about head level to store larger tools and car parts, as well as many lower level 12" shelves to store waxes, lubricants, cleaners, etc.) I have suspended 2 x 4s in a square cornered U shape from the ceiling set up to store my extension ladder, suspension storage like that is very useful for getting ladders and other little used items out of the way, and if you are not overly tall it is totally out of your way when not in use.

I am prepping the 56 BN2 for paint and I have a paint related question. Car will be painted in it's original color Reno Red with Black coves. The older ICI code for Reno Red was "3000" I checked in with a PPG supplier and the only thing he found was a '56 color for "Rover" marked Reno Red only available in PPG's Global Line, which is not available locally. (I am checking if this is a California thing) My (slight) preference is a single-stage paint as I find the base/clear oftentimes too 'hard' visually (and out of period). Single stage urethane is somewhat in between the old enamel/lacquer and base/clear in terms of appearance and has the modern chemistry (longer lasting paint). Drawback is a hard line between the 2 colors of the 2-tone scheme, as per original I guess. My car was over-painted in a previous life, now media-blasted and where I found the original paint (ie under the axle buffer, inside door) the red paint is oxidized and dull. I have the Pikovnic book, but the chips for Reno red are somewhat cloudy. Sigh, it took me quite a bit of time to get my hands on one via ebay. So giving the paint supplier a sample to match is not going to work for me. At least I can confirm the color on the car is indeed Reno Red as per certificate. AutoColorLibrary.com has the chip in it's library but it seems not available in PPG Acrylic Urethane (concept DCC) They have this color in their own paint-line called "restoration shop" but I cannot find many reviews online on this cheap, unknown paint. I prefer PPG as the painter I am talking with is familiar with PPG. The painter came recommended by local clubmembers. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1956-ahmg-pg12.j pg Are there formulations available for Reno Red and the original black? Or does anybody have a small painted panel/sample available, a couple ounces of Reno Red I can buy? Other solutions? All advice welcome.

I too found myself in a very similar situation, albeit probably under very different circumstances. I was forced to reevaluate my tools and sort through them. One pile to keep, one to discard and one to sell. I then sorted the Keeper pile into two sub categories Must-Haves and Nice-To-Haves. I alphabetized them - don't ask why. I ordered them by height, width then overall mass - I had a lot of time on my hands. I then cleaned them all which made sorting them into three piles based on a "brightness factor" - I like bling in the garage. As you can imagine all of this took a very long, long time. This provided many opportunities to review my plan, formulate my objectives and really focus on what was needed to keep the Healey and any other toys in top working order. If you're like me, you're always looking for the best, most effective way to keep these old cars going, anything that doesn't help in this endeavor finds it's way curb-side. In the end I kept all my tools and got rid of the wife. I have a very clean workshop outfitted with the great set of tools - even one-time use tools and a Healey in great running condition. Now no one questions me about spending $20 on OD drain socket tool or $400 on a new set of Lampert gears. Life is Good - enjoy it.

His name was John Steele and was located in Kansas. He had done a good bit of research on the topic and, at the time, came up with options. He also sent me a Reno Red paint chip sample he made up. I don't believe he's on the list so I can forward your inquiry to him if you'd like. Let me know. I'll be interested in what you find out because I have a 100M that was originally Reno red and black. I'm not doing the resto right now. I would be glad to share the paint chip sample if necessary, as long as I get it back. Mike Mike Couch Pittsburgh BN2 100M AN2 AN7 You Wrote: Hi listers, After a hiatus of 5-6 months (work!) I am prepping the 56 BN2 for paint and I have a paint related question. Car will be painted in it's original color Reno Red with Black coves. The older ICI code for Reno Red was "3000" I checked in with a PPG supplier and the only thing he found was a '56 color for "Rover" marked Reno Red only available in PPG's Global Line, which is not available locally. (I am checking if this is a California thing) My (slight) preference is a single-stage paint as I find the base/clear oftentimes too 'hard' visually (and out of period). Single stage urethane is somewhat in between the old enamel/lacquer and base/clear in terms of appearance and has the modern chemistry (longer lasting paint). Drawback is a hard line between the 2 colors of the 2-tone scheme, as per original I guess. My car was over-painted in a previous life, now media-blasted and where I found the original paint (ie under the axle buffer, inside door) the red paint is oxidized and dull. I have the Pikovnic book, but the chips for Reno red are somewhat cloudy. Sigh, it took me quite a bit of time to get my hands on one via ebay. So giving the paint supplier a sample to match is not going to work for me. At least I can confirm the color on the car is indeed Reno Red as per certificate. AutoColorLibrary.com has the chip in it's library but it seems not available in PPG Acrylic Urethane (concept DCC) They have this color in their own paint-line called "restoration shop" but I cannot find many reviews online on this cheap, unknown paint. I prefer PPG as the painter I am talking with is familiar with PPG. The painter came recommended by local clubmembers. http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/aclchip.aspx?image=1956-ahmg-pg12. j pg Are there formulations available for Reno Red and the original black? Or does anybody have a small painted panel/sample available, a couple ounces of Reno Red I can buy? Other solutions? All advice welcome. _______________________________________________ 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 Feb 7 13:05:35 2010 From: Jack Feldman To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2010 11:46:04 -0600 Subject: [Healeys] Should I, or Shouldn't I?

I have only painted my engine compartment, but the single stage urethane enamel (I feel the same as you about basecoat clearcoat on older cars, but I think we are in the minority) the paint lays down smooth and polished up well in the places I did not get smooth (which I put on me and not the paint). But I have not yet painted the exterior of the car yet nor has it sat in the sun, so cannot speak to UV resistance to fade either. But I have to say to this point I am pleased with the product and will probably buy another gallon to finish the car, I was not sure if I would use the Restoration Shop paint, but am please with the engine compartment, so will go with it.

It had this insane motor which was stamped out of sheetmetal, which made it difficult to repair and didn't last long, and the water jacket was prone to rust through in short order. I think it came in a kit and you put it together like an IKEA closet. It handled poorly and had rotten performance, and sorry, have to disagree with you, it was just about the ugliest version of a bugeye you can think of. Just becaus a Pontiac Fiero looks kinda like a Lamborghini Jalpa doesn't mean they looked the same.... There's a picture somewhere on the internet of Frank Lloyd Wright on an estate driving around with his wife in a couple of Crosley Hotshots, that picture reduced my respect for the man about 10 pts, unfortunately. Hope there aren't any Hotshot owners on the list!

For starters it had a totally different engine (flat twin) but also there were differences in the bodywork, styling, suspension (I think) and probably the gearbox. I seem to remember that the standard engine size was 650cc with about 40HP which was enlarged to 850cc and about 50-60HP. They were a good match for the Mini's and the Fiat 600 (1000)cc Abarths on the Zandvoort race course. They were absolute fun and easy to drive.

I think it came in a kit and ou put it together like an IKEA closet. It handled poorly and had rotten performance, and sorry, have to isagree with you, it was just about the ugliest version of a bugeye ou can think of. Just becaus a Pontiac Fiero looks kinda like a amborghini Jalpa doesn't mean they looked the same.... There's a picture somewhere on the internet of Frank Lloyd Wright on n estate driving around with his wife in a couple of Crosley otshots, that picture reduced my respect for the man about 10 pts, nfortunately.

Lots of fun stuff in there. So, to correct our derivation: A tonneau is a barrel. A car with a round rear end that looks like a barrel is called a tonneau. Hence now, the area behind the front seats on spyders/spiders (another fun area to explore -- why is a small convertible called by the name of an arachnid?), is called the tonneau. And we still wind up in the same place: the area that is covered is called the tonneau, and the cover which covers it is called a tonneau cover. Drifting around that page, I was disappointed, however, to see cabriolet simply shown as a modern convertible car. The original cabriolets were light two-wheeled carriages with canvas tops. A spyder/spider was a lightweight four-wheel open carriage, incidentally. If you were a young squire, with a fast pacer, you'd road race against the other young bloods to prove that your carriage horse was faster than theirs, and of course you'd want the lightest carriage you could drive. Now what was the original discussion about? I forget.

Fred Astaire didn't dance in the film. 2. Ava Gardner said that Melbourne was the perfect place to make a film about the end of the world. 3. One of the only speaking roles undertaken by an Australian in the film was by John Meillon who played the role of the seaman who jumped off the submarine in San Francisco harbour to go and find his family. (He was also in Crocodile Dundee so he must have survived SF!) 4. Neville Shute was a keen motor racing enthusiast who lived in Australia for some time and while here raced an XK120. 5.

Not only are the messages delayed in the delivery process but the server seems to be dropping nearly all Healey-related emails too. All I seem to be getting are English / grammar emails from listers with broken spell-checkers and some that seem to have English as a fourth or fifth language. I'm also getting a ton of emails regarding some some "pretty", butt-ugly non-Healey pea-shooter. Oh yeah, then there's this art-gallery quest regarding old pictures going on too. It normally wouldn't be an issue but the foot of snow outside and the near zero degree temps means this is the only way to get my Healey fix. I'm so glad I'm not hooked on that other list's passion - what was it. . . the Cross-Eyed Pea Shooter? I think Carroll Shelby drove one on his first date. Man that server is really messed up. I just want to say thanks for looking into the problem(s) and getting them corrected soon. I'm putting you in for a raise too - for all your service above & beyond the call of duty. I can't wait to get back to my Healey mail.

Did you mean: *Bruschetta* (Italian pronunciation: [brusKketta] ( listen )) is an appetizer whose origin dates to at least the 15th century from central Italy . It consists of grilled bread rubbed with garlic and topped with extra-virgin olive oil , salt and pepper. R.

The Ferrari Barchetta was a trend setting car that arguably had some to a lot of influnce on the styling of the 100. Look at the other contemporary British sports cars the slab sided Jag 120 has a little pre-war BMW 328 in it, the TR2 copied the Jag (take a look at one with the rear wheel spats) . MGs, Rileys, HRGs and such were still square rigged separate fendered cars. The 100 and AC Ace went off in whole new direction, the Ace very clearly influenced by the Barchetta, and the Healey with some family resemblence as well, but as Gerry Coker stated (if I recall correctly) he wanted to create something all its own, and so he did, a timeless design, but you see something akin to the Barchetta in some of the side and back views. http://www.conceptcarz.com/view/photo/107207,11224/1952-Ferrari-212-Export_photo.aspx Greg Lemon _______________________________________________ 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 Tue Feb 9 19:05:42 2010 From: gene stigen To: Date: Tue, 9 Feb 2010 17:34:24 -0800 Subject: [Healeys] Big Healeys I may be mistaken, thought this news column was for& about Austin Healeys, not English grammar, word definitions( that's why there is the web).

If a tree blows down and crushes your car, your policy should pay for the repairs. There may be some liability on the part of the tent company for not anticipating the "Act of God" and preparing their tents so they would not blow down. Others may also have some negligence but, the policies on the individual cars should certainly cover the damage to those cars.

Those are great pictures and so many in one convenient site. I thought I would attempt to get us back onto a Healey topic - There is one photo of a clear plexi-glass hard top (see: http://www.healeymeetslemans.nl/home.php?nb=his_fot&pagenr=32&alb=historie&im g=2968&view=1) [page 33, row 2 column 2]. I've never seen a picture like this or anything like this in any Healey event. I am curious if anyone on the list knows anything about the top, the manufacturer, why they would have made something like this instead of using a factory top, etc. It's cool in a very strange sort of way. Does anyone out there in our little universe have one of these for their cars? Inquiring minds want to know.

Of course, the alternative explanation is that the car was running without the rally plates at that point, and in order to make the final photo useful for publicity purposes, someone stripped in the plate. It's really amazing, when you see some of the original publicity pictures owned by e.g. Graham Robson, that have been in and out of various magazines, to see the crop marks, notations, and retouching that had been done for one purpose or another.

They were both also taken back to the UK where the 100S engined Streamliner morphed into the 200mph six-cylinder car. There is an interesting story about when Carroll Shelby visited the Donald Healey Motor Company looking for a suitable chassis in which to install a V8 engine. He was shown the rusting remains of the salt record cars, but they were too far gone to be of use. He was then sent in the direct of BMC and received a rejection there too. Then he called on the Hurlock brothers at Auto Carrier (AC) and the rest is history. Just imagine what it would have been like if the AH chassis wasn't rusted away or if BMC was more helpful?

Such accounting magic also included tax factors as well. There are however stories of scrap merchants who were not as scrupulous as they should have been and major components were not scrapped, but used in the construction of subsequent cars of dubious heritage.

Take off the dist. cap and rotor, there is a spring that goes on a peg on the sliding plate the spring is what is connected to your diaphragm and adjusts your timing.

Balchowsky is said to have done the first Healey V8 swap and there's an interesting account of it here: http://www.onlinebiographies.com/page11.html That swap was a Chevy 283 and was featured in Hot Rod magazine and inspired a number of swaps over the years (including me) Shelby first approached Chevrolet for motors for his project, but was turned down there. I imagine they weren't interested in creating a possible Corvette beater. The introduction of the thin-wall Ford 260 V8 was perfect for Shelby's Cobra creation. The superintendent of Ford's Cleveland engine plant got a first look at the new Ford V8 and figured out that it's narrow design would be a good fit in a Healey and did a swap that was shown in Hot Rod in 1963. So there was certainly a lot of opportunities for a Cobra Healey to be created, although I think Healey's contractural obligations with BMC was a stumbling block.

When it blows, it takes all five circuits out and requires some trial and error to figure out which circuit is the culprit. I added a 4-fuse block under the dash to separate the five circuits (wipers, tach/fuel gauge, heater blower, brake lights, turn signals) into individual fuses for each, leaving only one circuit connected to the original upper fuse on the firewall. For overdrive, license plate light, and driving lights I used in-line fuses.

The manual of that car will indicate the circuits that are covered by the fuses. Another advantage is that you also have several relays neatly fitted to be used for the heavy users like the head lights, auxilary lights, heater fan, cooling fan, wipers etc. I have done it in the past on a Landrover and a Triumph spitfire which have similar wiring looms. Of course this will mean a rather involved adaptation of the present wiring looms and you will not win any concours contest, but it is a practical way to keep the car on the road without to much worries about the wiring and if things go wrong the problem can be located easily.

He said there were no remaining parts of these cars.He said he did this because of the salt damage. He thought that Bill Woods had the glass bubble top and was using it as a planter. He advised the audience to be suspicious of any original stream line parts existing. I found this sad that such iconic cars would have been destroyed when so many record setting salt flat cars of the same era had been saved. I am glad that Steve Pike and his crew have replicated the concept.His effort is to be commended.

Read the excellent article in the Nov 2009 issue on the recreated Streamliner and Endurance car. Injoyable reading and beautiful pictures! Then a question came to me. What became of the originals of these two cars? As long as I have owned and followed Healey stuff I never have known this.

Hello; I am restoring my BJ7. What color should the trim (weatherstripping) around the doors be? I'm doing the car with a navy blue interior. Please correct me if I'm wrong. One piece starts on the fender and goes up the windshield post. The other piece starts at the top of the door in the front and goes out onto the quarter panel in the rear. What is the correct color for these two pieces? Does anyone have written instructions for replacing the top? I'd like to get a hold of a copy. Under the seat runners there are two "packing pieces". Do these go on top of the carpet or under it? I have some 3/8" plexiglass that I was going to make them out of. Anyone see a problem with that? The car will never be a show winner but I am trying to make it appear as original as possible. Thanks for your help. 1962 BJ7 1961 Bugeye 1969 Midget (daily summer driver) Frank R.

Frank: The trim(weatherstripping) on a BJ7 goes from the top edge of the posts down to the fender line and a separate peice of about four inches in length attaches to the lip of the fender. These two separate pieces are fawn in colour. I do not believe the original material is still available but a close/acceptable trim is available from MacGregor British Car Parts and originally it was riveted to the windshield posts but the new stuff holds very well without being riveted. The other weatherstripping starts where the weatherstrip of the door finishes and goes all the way to the top of the rear panel for about two inches and is finished with a metal clip, it is, in your case dark blue in colour, again available from the same source as above. As for the top there are two different tops with the BJ7, the early top has two fasteners holding the rear window and the later one has a zipper much like the BJ8, I will send you a separate e-mail that describe how to install the top with illustrations. The packing pieces are made of wood, about 1/4" thick and are mounted against the metal plate that is against the tarpaper on the floor. Your carpet is cut around the packing pieces, it does not go underneath.

Its an old fashioned rust treatment / undercoating: 2 = quarts turpentine 12 oz. beeswax / candle wax 1 quart light machine oil With a cheese shredder, cut the wax into the turpentine, stir until the wax has dissolved, (takes a long time; you can use very low heat (a warm room) to aid but be careful) and thin with the machine oil to a brushable /sprayable consistency. Apply liberally. You can use a hand spray bottle to get into closed-off sections if you have a small access hole.

Since I had damaged bracket areas on the front of the main rails (and had to replace) and also replaced the inner sills, I did a treatment. Thought you might benefit from my technique so here it is. First I used a 14 or so foot long pipe, split it for about 1-2 inches on one end, and bent the pieces back to form a crude scraping tool. Got out a moderate amount of crud. Then flushed out the rest with water hose with car set on a severe angle. Allowed to dry for a couple days. I scavenged the spray tip from a 1 or 2 gallon spray insecticide container. Attached it to a 12ft or so length of rubber hose. Worked the hose/tip all the way into the rails. Keeping the Waxoyl warmed on the stove is a must for good flow. After adding the product to the spray container you just spray as you withdraw the tube. Repeat a time or two. How well did it cover? Who knows. Some product did come out a couple of the seams and holes but somewhere up in there is a gallon of Waxoyl!!! Keith Pennell ---- Simon Lachlan wrote: > Here is something which I copied some time back.

The shot in the picture site to which you refer is from that book (page 164). There is another picture of this dome in the recent (2004) Bill Piggot book "Haynes Great Cars: Austin-Healey" on page 79. This time its seen on a four-seat six cylinder car. There are detail differences from the one on the 100 in the other picture. Bill calls it a "Plexidome", which rolls off the tongue nicely, but if you look carefully at the shot there is no "L" on the logo decal on the top. So it is the rather more awkward "Pexidome". Bill also repeats Harvey's hearsay comment "they yellowed with age". This may or may not be true ( there was a transparent Plymouth, or something, built for a motor show in the forties which has survived, and I think that has yellowed somewhat ). However, as a 20-year long Messerschmitt bubblecar http://tinyurl.com/gtbqf driver myself, I can assure you that the domes which have survived on cars since the early fifties haven't yellowed at all. Maybe its the composition of the material. These domes are being remade now and can cost two thousand dollars plus crating and shipping from Europe. I can testify that its a delightful experience to drive under a transparent top. Its very bright and open, yet you're completely protected. Looking up and seeing the rain or snow come down directly at you is really quite a neat sensation. Inside, the motor sounds are amplified a bit under the hard plexiglass surface, and its probably not the top for southern climes (although the 'Schmitt came with a clip-on white linen sunshade and ventilator wings- and it was fine on a hot day). Bubble tops have always held a fascination for me. They symbolized our wonderful, exciting "future" of the fifties, which never materialized. WW II fighters, the 1966 Batmobile, Ed Roth and Gene Barris creations, and the many American futuristic show cars like GM's Firebirds (I actually got to sit in Firebird III). There may be a small advert in amongst the Autocar and Motor magazines of the fifties for the Pexidome, but I haven't come across it yet. I have attached the two Pexidome pictures for you, Carlos.

A while back, a friend who was into Healeys and sundry other LBCs, used to create a mixture of coal tar and kerosene (proportions ?) as a preservative. He would drill a few holes in the top and bottom of each separate frame member and plug the bottom holes with rubber plugs. After carefully fill the cavities with the mixture, he would plug the top holes and drive in a figure eight for a number of cycles, occasionally slowing and accelerating. Following his brief drive, he would pull the bottom plugs and drain the fluid. Over a few day period, he would occasionally replace the plugs, do a number of figure eights, and remove the plugs to drain any remaining mixture from the frame. Finally, he would allow the car to stand, with all plugs removed, for a number of week to allow as much of the kerosene to evaporate before replacing all plugs. Although the smell lingered for a while, I believe the mixture did penetrate into all internal areas of the frame and initially produced a thin moisture resistant coating, however, I am unsure of its preservation longevity. Even though I was tempted to try this protective approach, I never did as I feel this coating could create a dangerous condition, within some period following initial application, should a repair be required involving a weld.

However, there is a solution: Just order the Concours Registry guidelines from Mike Osipik for $20 ($25 outside U.S.). They have all the information contained in our original book, come on a CD so you can either reference on the computer or print out the parts you need, and include numerous pics of original cars and components. In addition, they include many, many updates that Roger has added to the Guidelines since we adapted the book from them in 2000. Info: Mikeosipk@ earthlink.net 816-333-2506. S'all for now.

If you send for the current Concours Guidelines CD you'll get more text, though it doesn't flow into nice paragraphs like the book does. Also there is much more added than was known back then. Not the same pictures, but plenty of new ones showing different details and aspects of the cars, and they're in colour. At $25, it's quite a good buy. I copy mine into double sided book form and refer to it constantly along with my copy of the Anderson/Moment restoration book.

Tedek, I see no one has replied to your question. I am assuming your talking about the two body halves. Hylomar is used to seal the metal to metal mating surfaces of the housing halves. The secret to Hylomar is to not put it on too thin and let it dry completely. Apply it to both surfaces and add additional amount to any area that looks too thin after it dries completely. It can't be too dry because it never hardens completely. I hope this helps.

One would think that with all this effort they'd get the shape correct too, or why bother. Oh... and AH Spares is not Moss, and it's most likely because of the poor quality of the Moss bumpers that AH Spares has invested in new tooling.

If you do the occasional transaction it won't cost you much, but if you do volume transactions , then they will take I believe 3.5% of the transaction. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Ghess4" Sent: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 5:19 PM To: Subject: Re: [Healeys] PayPal > I have received requests to handle payment and receipt of funds by PayPal. > Haven't used it for years and have heard disparaging remarks about PayPal > of > late.

Paying is free but the receiving party pays around 4%. Never had any issues. It is the cheapest and safe way to pay internationally. Cheques, if they still exist somewhere, are unsafe, bothersome and expensive and are, I think, only widely used in the Anglo Saxon world. They are not used anymore in many countries. International money tranfer by the bank is prohibitively expensive. I think Paypal is safe, instantly and very conveniant to use.
