Checked the archives and found Rich C advice on moving the advance back by using a 5/16 bolt screwed it into the gears. Once I put the screw in, I could not get the gears to move.

References: <20171203002651.06B0E2580605@autox.team.net> G?day I have had the pleasure of owning two Jaguar Mk2s in my motoring life. The first was a 2.4 which was nice but a little lacking in power and the second was a 3.8 with a Jaguar 4-speed and overdrive. The Jaguar gearbox is infinitely better than the Moss box and a delight to use. The Mk2 itself is an absolute pain in the arse to work on and you could say that if a spanner fitted it was surely a design fault. For instance the workshop manual states that to remove the battery, first remove the bonnet. My time with Jaguars is what convinced me to have a modern car as an everyday. Still a delight to drive and we managed to fit four kids including a pram into it.

If you're filling in a repaired dent, you want to work the metal up to as close as original and put a light coat of filler in to smooth out the dented area. Generally, though, the skim coat consists of the minimum amount of filler you can spread over an area to be able to block sand it to remove any waves or ripples. If you're trying to do a show quality job, after the repaired dented areas have been filled and sanded, it is common practice to skim the entire repaired panel with a thin coat of a good filler, like Evercoat Ultra, then spray primer or primer surfacer over the panel. A guide coat of a contrasting color, usually some cheap black paint is lightly painted over the primer coat. Then, the primer is sanded in a criss-cross pattern until the black is entirely removed. This usually involves additional coats of primer being applied and sanded with increasingly finer grades of sandpaper. The short answer is to use as thin a skim coat that you can that will allow you to achieve a smmoth surface. Regards.

Once he helped me out when at the last minute, while replacing the clutch on my BT7, I found I needed that bush that inserts in the flywheel and carries the end of the first motion shaft. The British Leyland dealers seemed to be out of them, but Dennis had one and Gwen and I drove from Kitchener out to his shop to get it, and I was Healeying again the next day. He was full of enthusiasm and showed Gwen and I all the neat stuff around his shop. I also recall on another occasion seeing that ex-Sebring Healey which was in his possession for a short while.

A floppy hat with a string under the chin is borderline dorky. So just what do people wear to protect you from the sun and stop your skins looking like a cooked lobster?

The sun has been damaging my skin all the way back several decades to my days of being a Lifeguard. My dermatologist's eyes rolled back when I said I drive a top-down sports car. One look at my arms brought an immediate diagnosis of sun damage. I now wear a Safari style hat with skirt to cover my ears and neck, long sleeve shirt, and gloves. I apply SPF 50 sunscreen on face, the exposed skin below my chin, hands and ears. This in no way deprives me of the pleasure of driving my Healey. Hopefully, it will allow me to do it longer. Every six months I get a check up that usually involves freezing pre-cancers or cutting out the questionable ones for biopsy. Wait until you need the Blue Light or the 5-FU treatment. Not fun procedures. If any biopsy comes back as Melanoma, your odds of living a long and fruitful life are in jeopardy. If you feel you have to drive with all that skin exposed and have not seen a dermatologist lately, I recommend you make your appointment NOW!

Leading me to forget they were on backwards and wearing them out of the car looking like some sad refugee from a past era, overage gansta wannabe. But anyhow... When I was young and indestructible (or stupid, depending on perspective) we would tour top down all day. Leaving the top down was a badge of honor. My first trip to Elkhart Lake for the vintage races at Road America, over 600 miles one way in July. We slathered my face and neck with sunscreen, forget my ears, they are roughly the consistency of well cooked bacon the next day. There were several more follow up trips where the top stayed down, but lesson learned about the ears. I drive around top down these days in town, but pop the top up and roll down the windows for long tours. Two of the four of us on those young drives have developed serious skin cancer (no doubt from a lot more youthful exuberance and fun in the sun than just the summer tours, outdoor jobs, sports, etc.). I have had lots of "slow growth" stuff removed. Hats or no hats, sunscreen is your friend.

If the shift lever is close to the tunnel it can be pushed left when the torque reaction rotates the engine on its mounts and that can be sufficient to open the contacts in the inhibitor switch. Easily checked ... just hold the lever to the right and see if the problem goes away.

The rear seats are individually mounted into the rear bench. I am about to reupholster them and reinstall them into the bench. I noticed that the seats are bare metal on the outside bottom and completely exposed to the elements while sitting above the rear axle and wheels. Was (Is) there a plate that blocks the water/dirt, etc., from hitting the seat bottoms and corroding the seat bottoms? I don't see anything like this in the Moss catalog. Has anyone constructed a panel that would block the elements, keep the seat bottoms dry and not allow water or dirt get into the vinyl overlap folds around the perimeter of the underside of each seat?

Mine fell off long ago, and I keep meaning to cut some more pieces and glue them in, but duct tape works pretty good to at least cover the holes until I get a round tuit. Would have been pretty funny if BMC made an effort to prevent corrosion on the seats, when they didn't make an effort anywhere else (well, except for some drainage holes drilled in a few places).

You don't want to sit to high in the seat. The original Dunnlo Pillow seat foam was very soft and let you sink into the seat. When I had the Bugeye seats done the upholsterer used a closed cell foam. When I sat in the seat for the first time, my nose was even with the top of the windshield. I replaced the seat bottom foam with a less dense foam rubber and got down to where I should have been. See Norman Nock's Tech Talk book on how to do this. Mike MacLean After 43 years of working on my Healey, I have finally arranged to have my seats recovered. I striped them down to metal, had the fulcrum point raised so I can tilt back my seat back. drilled a lower hole in the seat back too, so I can change the angle. New Seat covers, foam and wood ready to go. Dropping off at upholsterer on Thursday.

References: <000001d37c28$52fc2a30$f8f47e90$@com.au> Thanks for that Rod, Unfortunately it isn't a lot of help ... The problem is that they provide a number for the lid AEU999 the number in the BMC factory parts book is 7H351 and for the nuts for the lid 7H1680. I have quite a collection of SU parts but unfortunately they are identified with SU numbers but because I don't have an SU parts list I really don't know what to use! I could just copy what I used on my on car but again I'm nt completely sure that what I have is absolutely correct. The Limora site https://www.limora.com/en/british-cars/austin-healey/ austin-healey-bn1-to-bj8-1952-1968/carburetor-and-air- filter/su-h4-and-h6-internal-carburettor-bn1-and-bn2-bn4-to-48862.html seems to have the best information but unfortunately they use their own numbers and the diagram is not a lot of help in identifying exactly what the parts are like. i.e. What is a "Plain washer" is it steel, fiber, or what? I certainly have no recollection of ever seeing a steel washer under the nut. And then is the nut brass? I ordered a pair from a well known source and they are plated steel ... My car has brass .... I have lots of brass versions but again don't really know which of the 4 different lengths of stem to use.. The original list would hopefully help in selecting the correct parts.

Limora call for a "plain washer " their #1435 but I need to cross reference that to an SU number as I have no recollection of ever seeing a steel washer under the float chamber lid nut on a BN1/2 ... do you? Also the number that BMC uses for the correct lid is 7H351. I have dozens of that type of lid but unfortunately none of the ones with numbers on them have that number so I really need the original SU number to help identify exactly the correct ones..

I suggest you look for any momentary plunger pushbutton switch that would span the distance in order to work. I too considered using an overdrive switch but saw that it was too short to reach the actuation block. The switch I used has a longer plunger and threaded neck. I hope this helps and it can be done.

But it is not from a Healey but a top-loader Wolseley 6/110 Mk II saloon. The layout of the top plate is different to the top-loaders in our cars. I could send you a photo of the set-up but I don't know that it would be of much help to you. Having said that, I have seen this modification made to a stock BJ8 top-loader some 40 years ago. It seemed quite easy to do, and worked like a charm. Wishing you and all listers a happy and safe New Year, and may 2018 be all that you want it to be.

Use a fibre washer to even out the surface, not critical. There is barely any load on the switch so one or two threads will be fine. You can fit a spacer plate on the gear lever socket using Araldite or fix it with two small screws with a sunken head. Secure the screws with Locktite. The cover plate should be a bit taller than the surface on the socket as the arc over which it will move is bigger. A similar switch with a longer nose (I think) can be found on the gearbox of a Sunbeam/Hillman/Humber/Jensen-Healey 4sp box. I can check if you let me know the dimensions of your switch (preferably in mm) as I have a few lying about if I am not mistaken.

The gasket material we are sold by Moss and others is simply cut off of a roll and I cannot understand how a flat piece of rubber can be made to conform to the shape of the scuttle without developing the characteristic gaps on either side inboard of the windshield stantions. I have seen pics of a few 100 restorations done by Fourintune where the gasket is lying perfectly flat so obviously this can be done, but does anyone know how?

The less expensive one is also not as thick, or at least that was the case about four years ago. If you bought that one, it could be the reason you are having trouble finding the right glazing strip. If you use the thinner glass and have the bonnet up, it might lift the metal trim piece off of the windshield while driving at speed. I mentioned this to Moss when I returned the thinner glass to them. I just checked their website and they still don?t mention the thickness issue.
