Some folks did the rally and enjoyed near perfect weather. We elected to travel about 38 miles with about 40 Austin Healeys to an old flour mill that is a new state park in Oregon. Nice country and good roads. Tonight the Oregon club put on the meet auction with about a hundred items going over the block to help cover the cost of putting on the meet. Good fun for all.

The newer replacement foam being much denser to begin with has no such holes...therefore you sit way too high. The solution has been around for sometime and is very simple, you can either use a hole saw (about a 2" diameter) and drill a pattern of circular holes in the bottom of the cushion. I have a neat heated wire setup designed by the late David Koch of Canada, where I can cut square holes (as original) out of the cushions. Roger Moment has been doing this for years and it works well. I just judged 3 100Ms at Concours at Rendezvous and the one that Roger did the interior on had these holes in the seat cushions. They looked close and performed as original. *Shameless plug time.. stop reading if you are offended by Concours. However, the holes need to be drilled BEFORE you spend money having the seats upholstered. This is discussed specifically in the "Interior and Soft Trim" section of the Concours guidelines, in note: 90 under "Seat Cushions." You see reading the Guidelines is not just for Concours, they can help you save time and money on any quality restoration. * Cheers, Curt On Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 6:52 AM, Frank Edwards wrote: > Hello Healey people; > > I know this has been discussed before so please forgive me for bringing it > up > again but maybe there are some new ideas out there. > > Just got my interior back from the upholstery shop.

First thought about a long ramp up the side of the Koolau mountains but realized we would have to accelerate to space shuttle speeds. Threw that idea out. The 100 will only go a bit over a 100. Couldn't find a snorkel system that was long enough to drive under the eastern Pacific not to mention driving our Healey in salt water. So that was out. Resigned to use a two mile long runway and a device from Boeing. Seemed to work and got a turkey sandwich and chips to boot. (The other kind of boot!) Just finished a tour of covered bridges in the country side around Eugene plus a tech session. The BJ9 performed perfectly. The air conditioning, sound system and lack of burning feet added the enjoyment. The comradery was great too. Awards banquet is later this evening. Tomorrow morning will be the time to say .....see you again next time......

It has been happening on a number of the many lists I manage, not just this one. Basically what happens is this: People subscribe AddressA to the list. They get the messages at that address. They send messages to the list from AddressB. AddressA is a member, AddressB is not. The post from AddressB is rejected as non-member spam. Send messages from the address that is subscribed and they won't get rejected as non-member spam. If you aren't set up for digest mode, the address where you get the mail is listed in the trailer of each and every posting, right there below the donate link. Donate early, donate often! If you normally send messages from AddressB, then subscribe AddressB to the list. If you want messages to go to AddressA and not AddressB, then subscribe AddressB and set your mailman options to not deliver to AddressB. Hopefully this will assist some folks with managing Team.Net email. mjb. _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Fri Jul 2 01:43:46 2010 From: Oudesluys To: Peter & Veronica Date: Fri, 02 Jul 2010 09:34:32 +0200 Subject: Re: [Healeys] A bit of tuning advice Thanks Peter!

All the driving up and around Oregon was a blast. The club drives were much fun and then the trip home was eventful. Just north of Shasta Lake I was traveling south on highway 5 and going around a corner and the left rear tire blew. Stayed safe and in control, made it to the side of the road, pulled over, and had it all fixed and back on the road in about a half an hour. All good. Continued safely to Sacramento, spent the night and continued on home. Told my friends all I needed to do is make it another hundred and fifty miles or so and I'll be in the free tow home range. My car must have heard me, with 150 miles left on the trip, my fuel pump gave up the ghost and I coasted to the side of the freeway. Forty minutes later and she's sitting on the top of a flatbed and were both being driven home. And good thing, because when we game to the bottom of the grapevine heading towards Los Angeles, cars were backed up, not moving and it was HOT!!!!!!! For those who don't know, the "grapevine" is a big steep hill right south of Bakersfield and leads up and over the mountains into Los Angeles. So the fuel pump was very much a blessing in disguise, and I can't think of a better day to have this all happen on, so here's to you, Mr. Donald Healey; Happy Birthday and I'm happy to drive one of your "smart" cars. You and my car, got me home safe and gave me a wonderful week away with other Healey folk! Thanks! And thanks again to all the folks in Oregon, much fun!

If you're comparing the hardtop to the soft-top (in "up" position), I would say the hardtop is cooler....just the fact that it's painted white makes a difference. Also, the hardtop's fiberglass does not retain the heat whereas the vinyl soft-top does. I have a BJ8 so I use the sidevent windows to keep the air flowing....I also have the Works hardtop vent which makes a significant difference.

A light coloured hardtop I think will be cooler over all than a soft top. There is a bit of insulating quality in the layers of a hard top with exterior painted fibreglass, then an air space inside before the off white head liner.

This allows fluid from the reservoir to enter the system when the piston is out, but needs to seal off the pipe to the reservoir when you press the pedal. If this fails you might get the symptoms you describe (I've had it happen on a brake M/C, but not a clutch M/C). Have someone work the pedal while you watch the fluid level--if it rises when your helper presses the clutch pedal this is likely your problem. What puzzles me, however, is where the 'extra' fluid is coming from--possibly, the fluid was sucked from the circuit to the slave cylinder. If the M/C is otherwise in good shape--i.e. no pitting--you should be able to get by with a rebuild kit. If not, and your M/C is aluminum, a resleeving or new cylinder is in order. bs John Soderling wrote: > On the way home to Walnut Creek, Ca from a great week at Healey Rendezvous > 2010 in Eugene, Oregon, I lost my clutch ( actually it was Erika the Red, my > 100-six that lost her clutch) about 150 miles from home.

H-BT7-L/13095. Located in Lancaster, PA. Abanonded project/ barn find. The car had been sitting in a dry barn in Dillsburg, PA for the last 23 years. During the mid 80's Ladd Motors had completed the metal work and body work prior to the cars storage. Description: I have a good title in my name. Also have Heritage Cert. Car was originally delivered to The Netherlands in the Colorado Red color. The metal work and body work that is done was typical for the type of work being done at the time (80's). Many of the replacement panels were fabricated. Beads were placed in the panels for strength (boot floor) and the main floors actually resembled original floor pans. The body is fairly straight and wouldn't take too much to get it ready for paint. It really depends what you intend to get out of the car. As is it would make a really cool "rat rod" Austin Healey. Someone could work on some of the panel fit, finish up the body work and make a nice driver out of it. Or maybe someone wants to do a ground up and make it a real nice car. The options are all there. The frame is in really good shape with the exception of some localized rust through in the very front frame horns where the sway bar mounts attach. Also a small area on the one side of the inner sill. Frame looks very straight as well. The engine compartment and the cockpit areas were both painted Healey Blue. The front suspension and parts of the frame were painted black and look pretty clean. Wheels are rusty and while the tires hold air they are very old and dry rotted. Engine is free, but would require a rebuild. The head was off and the cylinders have typical wear (finger nail catches on the top ridge of the bore) and the bottom of the tappets show wear. The engine is a BJ8 engine and the gearbox is correct for the car (side shift). Angle drive is broken. Gauges are all there and appear to be in good shape. Trafficator is really only good for parts. Gas tank appears good. Parts missing: BJ8 intake manifold and HD8 carbs. Front drivers seat, passenger seat bottom, both rear seat pans and rear seat back. Thermostat housing. Distributor. Soft top header rail. Side curtains.

Haven't seen this suggestion for awhile, but for long-distance travel in the past, I've had enormous success by buying a clothes drying corrugated heating duct (plastic or aluminum foil) about six feet long. Then, remove the panel in the passenger footwell that blocks the firewall hole for the right-hand side steering column. (it just unscrews). Run the duct from the front grille through the engine compartment to that hole and use copious amounts of duct tape at both ends to tape it in place. You won't believe the difference on the passenger side, with cool air blowing directly into the footwell. Once you arrive, the mod can easily be reversed for show, and then re-installed before driving hom. Travel safe.

First if the level in the reservoir has risen it is very unlikely that you have a leak!! Leaks cause the level to drop. I would be suspicious that something has happened to the release mechanism which has caused the slave cylinder piston to have travelled to the bottom of its bore thus pushing fluid back to the reservoir. Secondly NEVER attack the bore of any aluminium hydraulic cylinder with any sort of abrasive. The bores of these cylinders are anodized to produce a hard wear resistant surface. Abrasives will very quickly remove this coating and expose the soft underlying aluminium. Such cylinders will only work for a short time before seal failure.

Now air can run straight through as fresh air or be diverted to the heater blower for heating. Inside the cockpit on the firewall are mounted two 2" flexible hoses to aim air at the passenger and to the driver. See attached pix.

While I can't make the job easier for you, I might be able to help you attack some of the challenges. If you already have assembled yours I'd be interested in anything you may have learned.

Probably the day with the most seat time since I got the car late last summer. I got a Healey tan. I'm a bit red faced over my neglect to wear sun block and I got a good tan from my knees up to the bottom of my shorts. My nose now has the texture of alligator hide. No pain, though. Despite that, I did get out for an evening drive with my visiting mother-in-law ( her first drive in this car ) and with a new digital camera, we tested it a bit, as I left the driveway. I posted the video on Facebook and am attempting to share it, though I don't know for sure that it works. I almost never use facebook, but I thought that I would give it a try. The sharing is set to 'everyone' for awhile. Next time I go on, I'll set it back to 'Friends only'. That'll probably be at least a week.

It is a 1972 MGB GT. He was the second owner, the car was originally sold at BMC in Oakland and has 39,000 original miles. The car has its original paint, the interior has been replaced, new wheels and tires. He did a mechanical restoration to the car when he purchased it. If anyone knows someone that is looking for very original MGB GT that has been meticulisly taken care of have them get ahold of me. I will be posting it in the MG magazines in the next month.

The shaft is probably heat treated and using a torch will almost definitely make it soft and therefore weak. Those taper pins can be difficult to remove but heating will not help much. I would recommend breaking the threaded section of the pin off, then after placing a heavy support on the back side of the lever try hitting the pin, where the threaded section has been broken off, using a stout pin pinch and a good sized hammer. BTW they are the same pins that used to be used on the pedal cranks of bicycles many years ago.

If you have a metal punch with the appropriate sized end you should be able to whack it pretty good with the bolt attached (good idea for saving the part by the way) without damage. Having the part and or what the part is attahced to mounted or held in place as firmly as possible helps too, so the force of the whack is not absorbed. My best results in similar situations have involved: 1. Stuck part in a vice (probably not an option for you) or still firmly mounted to the car 2. Penetrating oil, followed by 3. Propane torch, followed very quickly while it is well and truly hot by 4. The big whack with an appropriate tool well placed so the force is transmitted to the pin and it doesn't slide off when struck As they say on the shampoo bottles, if it doesn't work the first time :"rinse, lather, repeat" I haven't had the issue you are hacing with a gearbox,but similar fittings to the front suspension, and it is a royal pain, sometimes the only thing that works is to drill it out, but then you will need to find or fabricate a new part.

This year our traveling companion, Steve, is unable to attend--we miss you Steve and Freida. We began our journey Thurs. afternoon as I was engaged in gainful employment until 7AM Thurs. and because of last minute details we couldn't get going till around 1PM. We headed out from Jacksonville, NC west on Hwy 24 on a meandering trail that will end up in Galena on Sunday. We passed through the home of the 82nd Airborne in Fayetteville then on to the home of Kelly Pickler in Albemarle, NC. She wasn't there so we continued north on rural roads towards Chattanooga (otherwise known as West Jefferson, NC.)--a little inside humor here. The day (afternoon) was Hot and sunny so we had plenty of block on for the top down cruise. Nothing much to report since everything went smoothly--car running nice and cool and all. Well just before Wilkesboro right around the race track it began to sprinkle cooling things down a bit. My wife, Sherry, uttered the famous words "We'll drive right through it, it'll be OK"!@*%. About that time we cruised around a bend and it appeared as though new black top had been applied to the highway with a definite line straight across the roadway. Before we could do anything we were getting soaked. We pulled off on the next side road and pulled up in a driveway. As we slowed down Sherry put up the umbrella and when we stopped I jumped out and threw the top up (bj8 thank goodness). About that time a young man came running out from the house that the driveway belonged to with a dry towel in his hand and an offer to have us come in to dry off. People have been so wonderful to us everywhere we've gone in the Healey. We accepted the towel, declined the drying off offer, and headed on our merry way as if we had good sense. Continued in Part 2. George & Sherry Haywood '65 bj8 _________________________________________________________________ The New Busy is not the old busy.

A little farther up the road (up as in elevation) it stopped raining and we pulled over at a rest stop where we met a young man with his 2 young sons who admired the car and told us he had a friend who lived in our home town. We in fact knew of his friend. I thought he was going to say that he had a friend that had a Healey back in the day (seems that those 80 some thousand sure changed hands a lot since everybody you meet either had one or had a friend who had one once). We continued on through Wilkesboro and up into the mountains towards West Jefferson and our awaiting motel room. It started pouring down rain again and continued all the way up Hwy 221 till just before West Jefferson and we pulled into our motel, checked in with the Patel's, and dried out in our room. The best thing about the room was the shower and the bed--what else would you want, Eh!! Well I wanted to report the days happenings but the wireless network was not cooperating. I gave up and went to bed. We arrived there at around 9:30PM tired and wet but happy with our days journey. Stay tuned for more on-the-road adventure. Will catch up tomorrow for today's and tomorrow's happenings if my computer acts nicely.

That means when it gets hot outside you're going to get vapor lock, causing your exact symptoms. The car recovers after the exhaust pipe cools down and stops vaporizing fuel in the lines in and out of the pump. Your pump should have a rubber insulator around it - that helps. To get rid of the problem, I just wrapped my BN1's exhaust pipe under the pump with header tape, it fixed that problem permanently.

A little farther up the road (up as in elevation) it stopped raining and we pulled over at a rest stop where we met a young man with his 2 young sons who admired the car and told us he had a friend who lived in our home town. We in fact knew of his friend. I thought he was going to say that he had a friend that had a Healey back in the day (seems that those 80 some thousand sure changed hands a lot since everybody you meet either had one or had a friend who had one once). We continued on through Wilkesboro and up into the mountains towards West Jefferson and our awaiting motel room. It started pouring down rain again and continued all the way up Hwy 221 till just before West Jefferson and we pulled into our motel, checked in with the Patel's, and dried out in our room. The best thing about the room was the shower and the bed--what else would you want, Eh!! Well I wanted to report the days happenings but the wireless network was not cooperating. I gave up and went to bed. We arrived there at around 9:30PM tired and wet but happy with our days journey. Stay tuned for more on-the-road adventure. Will catch up tomorrow for today's and tomorrow's happenings if my computer acts nicely.

The event was held May 21, 2010 in the parking lot of a minor league baseball team just outside of Temecula, California. The venue was great and well set up by our club with hay bales protecting the cars from light posts and orange cones guiding the drivers through the course. Of course some people got lost in the excitement, but many got through very quickly and had clean runs. There are 63 individual videos posted showing the complete runs of the cars participating in the event, most lasting less than a minute, some a bit longer. To view these videos just go to: _www.youtube.com_ (http://www.youtube.com) and then in the search window type in: CHW Gymkhana 01, or 02, or 03, or 23, or 63, etc. and the video will pop up and begin to play. I didn't put everyone's name or particular car with the videos, as 63 videos is a bit much to do so, but if you see a car or person you know, just remember the number and you can send that particular video link to anyone you want. So enjoy and soon there will also be a little video posted of the Covered Bridge tour from "Healeys Take Eugene, Rendezvous 2010" Steven Kingsbury BN1 #598 _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sat Jul 10 12:09:38 2010 From: healeyguy@aol.com To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2010 14:04:36 -0400 Subject: Re: [Healeys] Trans failure, or little gremlin ???

We know for a fact that the Le Mans Kit was available to be installed on BN1s, and that DHMCo advertised that fact. 2. We know for a fact that many customers who bought their BN1s in the Midlands area could have had DHMCo install the Le Mans Kit either before they picked up the car or just after they purchased it. In one of his books, Geoff Healey says that he thinks there may have been as many of those modifications made at The Cape Works as they did after the introduction of the BN2 100Ms 3.To my knowledge, the term 100M was not used in any brochures or advertising until the BN2s with the kit installed as a factory option were introduced at Earls Court in fall 1955. THEREFORE, we can reasonably conclude that this is an interesting car, with its LeMans kit installed in period by DHMCo. That certainly should help its value. But we also know that this is not a "100M" because the term hadn't been invented at the time this car had its modification kit installed. Why have these facts and conclusions not yet penetrated the otherwise knowledgeable folks who continue to write about these cars is beyond me?

When you think about it, we car guys are just a little bit crazy. Consider the difference in value between a factory 100M, a car with a LeMans kit installed at the Cape, a car with a LeMans kit installed in period at a U.S. dealer, and a 100 that some guy installed a LeMans kit last week. Each will be pretty much the same car and perform the same, but what a difference in price! It's no different with run-of-the-mill Chevelle's turned into SSes, Tempests into GTOs and Mustangs turned into Shelbys. Don't get me wrong, I get just as excited in seeing a factory "M" as the next guy, but viewed objectively, it's a little bit nuts, isn't it?

Rick, You are fully right. On this side of the big pond we do not care that much about a factory 100M or an "ordinary" 100 or whatever "Le Mans kit" by whom fitted. The quality the car is restored makes the winner. I know of a handful BN1s officially factory sold with the Le Mans kit. As far as I know the cold air boxes of these cars were of zinc instead of aluminium of the later 100M cars. I have seen one of these factory 100 "Le Mans kit" cars. And BMIHT knows of them as you can get a certificate which states "factory fitted Le Mans kit". But anyway, for me these cars are 100s and nothing different (I think the same of the so called 100Ms).

Today's (Friday-I'm a day late on this report remember) journey took us from West Jefferson, NC thru the rest of the NC mountains, Western Va & Ky Mountains, and on to Winchester, Ky just East of Lexington, Ky. We woke up to a nice morning with cool temps--great for top down driving so that's what we did. I got lucky and chose some very nice Healey roads to cross those peaks. First we gassed up and stopped @ the local IGA store to get fresh fruit and drinks for the day, then headed out. The AM driving was perfect as was the scenery. We headed N on Hwy 221 to Alt 58 and headed west. You just can't describe the beauty of these hills. It was overcast so we couldn't see the mountain tops but that brought cool temps. We especially enjoyed the flowers growing alongside of the roads. Beautiful lavender, white, bright red, and some yellow flowers were all around us. I can't imagine anyone planting all those so I guess they would be called wild flowers. We made a left turn in Va somewhere and noticed a woman hitch hiking. She put her thumb down when we turned so I pulled off to ask her why she dropped her thumb so fast. We struck up a conversation and found that she was traveling by thumb across the country in a crisscross pattern. She started in Ohio and had been to the NE states already and now headed west. She was on a solo missionary trip spreading the Gospel. We wished her good luck and safety and went on our merry way. The Healey was running fine again and pulled up those mountain roads effortlessly with a low note that rumbled so sweetly in the morning air. Continued in additional parts.

We came upon a Dairy Queen and decided to have lunch there. While we sat there eating, an elderly lady (about my age) came out of the rest room with the most perfect toilet paper tail hanging about down to the back of her knees. I mean it was perfectly centered. It was all I could do to keep from laughing but at the same time I felt sorry for her future embarrassment. Her husband was waiting in line next to her but didn't notice either. Finally a nice older lady politely told her and the matter was taken care of without incident. As our journey continued it began to sprinkle rain on us in the afternoon. We occasionally hit the wipers and continued on top down remembering what had happened the day before. I guess you could call us slow learners but we went on anyway and this time it paid off for a while. Never did it clear up but the trip was quite enjoyable and dry in the cockpit until just outside of Winchester, Ky when the drops became larger and more frequent. I saw a Marathon station on the opposite roadway and did a U turn to pull under their awning to put our top up. We just got things completed when it really came down on us for a while. By the time we pulled into the motel all precip had ended and we unloaded for the night. We found a local eatery called The Stage Coach Steak House and had a very nice meal--country cookin at it's best. We struck up a conversation with our waitress (server) and before it was all over she gave us a 10% discount for being new in town and prepared us some club sandwiches for the following days journey. My wife has a silver tongue!! After we ate we pulled across the street to wash off some road grime (Healey blue is ugly with grey road grime) at the local car wash then headed back to the motel. There we ran into the man (Joe Gibbs) who hauls cars for the Fed-Ex NASCAR Team car number 11. He was interested in the Healey and we found out he was from Huntersville, NC also. He has a busy schedule hauling cars all over for the various races and public events up and down the NASCAR highways (Gasoline Alley I think they are called) NICE RIG he has!! We turned in for the night after a Great Healey Day looking forward to another.

Oh, our room looked like a laundry with a broken dryer last night with the passenger side floor mats hanging along with multiple microfiber cloths where ever they could drip without messing up any furnishings. Since the top was still wet and we were going to travel on I-64 for around 100 miles we drove top up (hood up, sorry). Today we went from Winchester, Ky thru In, to Springfield, Il (Lincoln's stomping grounds). We left the mountains of Ky yesterday and went into the bluegrass hills today. Although we spent the first couple of hours on Interstate the farms traversed were sometimes quite grand with huge homes and horse barns. Horses are everywhere lounging around leisurely chewing on lush Ky bluegrass. We even passed by a retirement home for thoroughbreds-no glue factory for those guys. There were many large estates with For Sale signs posted along the highway. Guess times can be tough all over. As we passed around Louisville we saw many bridges crossing the Ohio River and also noticed the Louisville Slugger bat standing above the store tops to our left. The buildings of downtown were very impressive architecturally. Indiana was a continuation of Ky at first with beautiful horse farms and then the scenery changed the farther North we traveled. What were horse farms became fields of corn, soy beans, and hay. Eventually just corn and beans were all we observed. About every 15-20 miles we came to small well kept towns. In the countryside I expected to see Pat Boone speeding down a dirt road through the corn fields. We even came upon a county fair with a farris wheel, dirt horse racing track and all. The only thing missing for me was the cotton candy and candied apples. One town called Loogootee, In. sported BO-MAC'S Drive In. We pulled up and a car hop came out to take our ice cream order. It was warm in the sun so we put up our umbrella to give us shade. She took pictures of that site, we laughed, ate our ice cream and drove on. We passed into Il. and stopped in the town of Marshall when we saw a rustic log cabin on the main drag being used as the visitor's center. I went inside, signed the log and got a pencil as a memento. We took some pics, sat in the shade for a while checking the map for our final leg today and got back on the road. From there on to Springfield things became quite flat and corn fields as far as you could see. We arrived at the motel @ around 5PM, had a nice dinner, and are about to fall asleep--oh wait, I hear snoring from the bed, guess I'm behind schedule tonight.

If you file a slot in the heads for a screwdriver you should be able to turn them out. An alternative approach is to file or grind the heads with a Dremel tool into a shape that will allow you to grip the head with a pair of Vise-grips or small pliers. I made the slots, and then used a screwdriver as an "impact" driver, keeping a loosening torque on the screwdriver while I tapped on it with a hammer. Mine came out without too much fuss. Soaking them with a penetrating oil beforehand might make it a little easier. British Car Specialists have the new rivets, I believe.

The program was titled "Monterey Week" and feature Wayne shipping his 1934 Bentley out to the Monterey peninsula to attend all the Pebble Beach area car show, auctions and the Monterey Historics auto races. Anyway, about five minutes into the show they had him driving his Bentley down 17-Mile-Drive with a string of classic cars passing in the other direction. Low and behold I saw me in my red 100-six, Erika the Red, approaching with my friends, blue over white 100-Six, two cars behind!!! Here is how we got in this HD Theater show. In August 2006 we entered our Austin Healeys in the Pacific Grove Classic Car Concours & Rally which is held each year during the big Monterey Week/Pebble Beach shindig. After the car show in Pacific Grove all participants then get to drive their cars in a rally along the famed 17-mile Drive ending in downtown Carmel. Apparently HD Theater was filming Wayne in his Bentley driving on 17-Mile Drive in the opposite direction and ended up using this clip of my car in the "Monterey Week" show. I guess Healeys make good TV footage!

I've replaced the carbon based throw-out bearing with a DW roller bearing on my BJ8 (Diaphram Clutch). I've set it up to speck..I've lengthened the rod on the slave such that there is only 1/8" of play with the plunger on the slave fully depressed. I cannot lengthen the rod any longer. I've taken the inspection plate off (metal plate that fork rubber boot attaches to) and had a look at the articulation of the bearing against the diaphragm..everything looks fine. HOWEVER, Clutch does not disengage when pedal is fully depressed...the input shaft is always turning..can't change gears. I've changed many a clutch in my life and I've never come across this problem. I have a suspicion of what the problem is (somewhat embarrassing) and wanted some feedback before I pull the transmission (again!!) and verify. Is it possible that I have the clutch disc in backwards?? Would that give me these symptoms. A thousand curses upon anybody who laughs at me and my stupidity!!

We had asked our waitress in Havana about this and she said that those areas tend to flood frequently. She told a story of a developer that attempted to build a sub division in the area and sure enough the floods came and destroyed his unfinished dwellings. We could see completed block foundations all in a row like swimming pools one after the other only the water was on both sides of the walls. Bet he has some land for sale cheap. The further North we went the more rolling the hills became. The farmers kept the fields trimmed neatly mowing the grassy areas along the highway right up to the corn rows. This is something we don't usually see back east. The farmers plant to the utility set back and the state cuts the roadside several times during the growing season so there are times when the grasses get pretty high along the perimeter of the fields. Soon we merged onto I-74 and traveled over the Miss. River into Iowa exiting onto Hwy 67 toward Comanche,Ia. along the west side of the river. The bridge was under construction there so we couldn't get a look at the river below. We stopped at the welcome station in I believe it was Le Claire,Ia. The stretch of road along the river there was beautiful. There were very nice homes on both sides built right on the river with nice sized boats moored along the banks. The river was fairly wide there with plenty of commercial and leisure boat traffic. This went on for most of the trip to Comanche and then the road (hwy 52) pulled back off the river almost all the way up to Dubuque. It began to rain and the sky looked pretty angry so we put the top up and the rains came down. We drove the hilly countryside up to Dubuque without incident and crossed the Mis. River again back into Il and down hwy 20 to Galena, what a picturesque entrance along the Galena River. 7PM struck as we pulled into the parking lot to get registered. We left Springfield @ 11AM and pulled into Galena @ 7PM. It was suppose to take 5 1/2Hrs We can't account for the discrepancy in time but we did enjoy the journey. Our 1 Bed Rm. Apt. here is pretty nice and comfortable and we're enjoying Conclave and seeing people we've met @ prior Conclaves. We'll be here all week, will give an update later this week on our stay, then fill you in on our post Conclave Adventure to SD and then back to NC.

I see Bill & Sarah Richey of Bowling Green have entered their '67 BJ-8 in the "Rookie" class. Their competion number is 55. Are the Richey's listers? We have also entered, #53, but not in my or my driver's BJ-8s. We are in the "Sportsman" class & since the entries are "factored" by their age, I felt we would be better off in my '53 MG TD. Driver: Jim Bach of "Bach Racecrafters" & me, Mike Slechta (aka Mad Mike) retired (& tired) as Navigator. The last time the TD was in a Vintage Rally was in 2000 Great Race from Boston to Sacramento. No problems with the TD, but my 2000 Escalade support vehicle is another story (long). If you are interested or in the KY, TN or IN area, you can go to: http://www.vintagecarrally.com/hemmings2010-orig.html for lots more info. Also, if you do happen to stop by, make sure you give #'s 55 & 53 the high 5. We just happen to be the only LBC's entered. Wish us luck (we'll need it), Mad Mike & Jimmy B _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Tue Jul 13 18:16:53 2010 From: David Nock To: Healey List List Date: Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:35:26 -0700 Subject: [Healeys] Norman Nock's BGT for sale We have decided to sell my fathers 72 MGB GT.

He had done a mechanical restoration of what ever was needed to the car when he purchased it. It has new chrome wire wheels and overdrive. It has new interior, along with all the mechanical stuff that would have deteriorated while not being driven much over the years. I have posted photos on our web site.

You might find that the leads to the field winding are accessible enough to re-route them. This should be OK but the motor might not be quite so efficient because sometimes the brush angle is set to be optimum in one direction. I don't believe that rewinding the armature is a realistic suggestion. However the field windings could be rewound in the opposite direction but it is simpler just to reverse the leads.

The improvements in magnetic material has made this possible. However in the days of 'our' cars the magnets were not good enough and a wound field winding was used. Changing either the field magnetism OR the armature connections would reverse the motor. With a permanent magnet motor changing the connections does reverse the motor. On a motor with a wound field coil changing connections over externally has no effect because BOTH the field and armature get changed and the motor still spins the same way.

The ram air wasn't enough at low speeds in the South Florida summers. I noticed that the housing provided for mounting the motor on ether side of the blower housing so I could mount it on the left side of the car in a mirror fashion to the one on the right side used on the heater blower hose. I had to open up the motor housing and reverse some wires inside to get the motor to rotate in the opposite direction so the squirrel cage would rotate in the correct direction to eject the air into the blower outlet. I don't remember which wires but it was pretty straight forward looking at the windings and connections inside. So yes it can be done. I didn't have to alter anything else like brushes or commutator and it still runs today. I did have to shim up the inlet and outlet to accomodate for the larger hose used on the fresh air vent on that side of the car in case someone would like to do the same thing.

At that time, I also replaced my clutch slave and spigot Bearing.I did nothing else. After reinstalling the transmission, I could not change gears. for some reason, the input shaft would not stop spinning. Some advice received from the list was as follows: 1) The clutch disk in backwards..I pulled the transmission and checked..it was ok; 2) The clutch pedal rod or slave rod were too short...adjusted and are ok... 3) Input shaft dragging on the new spigot bearing and as such, when clutch is depressed, the input shaft keeps spinning. I pulled the transmission again today and checked everything...clutch is fine, rods are fine...spigot bearing.not sure. I honed out the spigot bearing and reinstalled the transmission... Same problem...(now I'm really frustrated, pissed off, ready to drive the car into a lake..except I can't drive it!) Symptoms: 1) If I start the car in gear with the clutch depressed, the car will not move and behaves properly (however, still can't change gears).the clutch engages when the pedal is about half out which tells me that the clutch itself is working fine. Length of rods are ok etc etc. 2) However, I still can't change gears with the car running and the clutch depressed. I can force it into gear with some grinding but.. 3) With the driveshaft off, I started the car in 4th gear and the clutch depressed. The flange turns quickly and when I try to stop it with a gloved hand it is difficult..however, when I do manage to stop it, I can hold it easily. Hypothosis Conclusion: 1) The input shaft continues to rub on the spigot bearing..just enough to turn the input shaft (even with clutch depressed) and thus not allow me to change gears. What do I do...I really don't have the energy or heart to pull the transmission again..I'm pissed off and frustrated.. I thought that perhaps leaving the car run in 4th gear and the clutch depressed might cause the spigot bearing and input shaft to wear and give the clearance necessary...I did this for 10 minutes but did not help..I suppose if I do it long enough, eventually it has to wear ???? I'm hoping somebody out there has a suggestion. All this for a $5 f.ing bearing! _______________________________________________ Healeys@autox.team.net Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.html Suggested annual donation $12.75 Archive: http://www.team.net/archive Forums: http://www.team.net/forums From healeys-bounces@autox.team.net Sun Jul 18 01:04:33 2010 From: Editorgary@aol.com To: healeys@autox.team.net Date: Sun, 18 Jul 2010 02:48:16 EDT Subject: Re: [Healeys] Po-larity In a message dated 7/15/10 7:22:17 AM, healeys-request@autox.team.net writes: > > Changing either the field magnetism OR the armature connections would > reverse the motor. > Had that happen to my race car's electric rotary fuel pump when I accidentally hooked up the battery backwards.

There are two of them & they go in the bell housing to engine back plate joint. If memory serves, they go in the 5:00 & 11:00 positions when looking at the bell housing from the rear looking forward. They precisely position the bell housing, thus the transmission input shaft, into the rear of the crank shaft. These bolts are special bolts will very tight clearances for the holes they go into. The pilot bushing compresses when it is installed. Therefore, the hole in the pilot bushing must be specifically designed to take this compression into account. If you eventually have to remove the transmission/housing (I hope you don't have to do this again) carefully check the inside diameter of the pilot bushing & the diameter of the input shaft. Obviously, you don't want an interference fit. I don't know what the recommended clearance should be, but someone on the list will! Don't just arbitrarily enlarge it. A friend had this exact same problem. Everything checked out. We could not find any explanation. For unrelated reasons, we had to remove the engine & transmission. We never found the cause, but after engine repairs the problem was gone. I wish I could be of more help.

There are two of them & they go in the bell housing to engine back plate joint. If memory serves, they go in the 5:00 & 11:00 positions when looking at the bell housing from the rear looking forward. They precisely position the bell housing, thus the transmission input shaft, into the rear of the crank shaft. These bolts are special bolts will very tight clearances for the holes they go into. The pilot bushing compresses when it is installed. Therefore, the hole in the pilot bushing must be specifically designed to take this compression into account. If you eventually have to remove the transmission/housing (I hope you don't have to do this again) carefully check the inside diameter of the pilot bushing & the diameter of the input shaft. Obviously, you don't want an interference fit. I don't know what the recommended clearance should be, but someone on the list will! Don't just arbitrarily enlarge it. A friend had this exact same problem. Everything checked out. We could not find any explanation. For unrelated reasons, we had to remove the engine & transmission. We never found the cause, but after engine repairs the problem was gone. I wish I could be of more help.

Whereas movable type gave the common person access to reference the data, the Internet is giving the common person access to create and distribute data. For example, WikiPedia. See something you don't like? Hit edit, make the changes and then save. I did it. You can too. On a personal note, last year I got a phone call from my daughter, an Air Force WSO just after CERE training, asking me to remove all of her baby pictures from the family Web Site. The Bad Guys have Internet, too. Back to Encyclopedias, it's not enough anymore to just put them on the Internet. No more, "Build it and they will come." Now it's all about Guided Learning, Correlations to State and National Standards and assessments (NCLB), what we used to call tests. Right now we are saving in some database for posterity what little 10 year old Johnny answered to: The Moon revolves around the ____ (Pick one: Sun, Earth, Jupiter, Mars.) The ONE MOST important of the many new responsibilities this data age has presented each and everyone of us with is, we must manage our personal data. Sorry folks, and I helped. FaceBook is relatively easy. Go into you profile settings and set the security level on everything to "Friends Only". Next, Don't put anything in FaceBook or any other Web Page, you don't want public. Lastly, be careful who you choose as friends. If you want off of FaceBook, click Account in upper right, then Account Settings, then Deactivate Account. Your account will be closed. I do not know what happens to the information already stored on their computers. I do know other people won't be able to see it anymore. What's hard to manage are things like medical records. It's why the question, "Is there an inherent right to privacy in the Constitution?" is very important.

In that case the trick is to tap the cotter into a neutral position and then remove the lever by moving it off the end of the shaft. Might be worth a try...

I'm considering one of two K&N filters--one would have its flange inserted into the tube, and one would have the tube inserted into the flange; i.e. tube into the filter, or filter into the tube. Any suggestions on how to attach one of the filters? Are the tubes strong enough to have a filter clamped onto one, or should I clamp the tube onto the filter flange?
