Can someone with a 100 please give me some kind of measurement where the angled bracket is welded to the hoop support and the trunk floor? I think the body man just thought to weld it right in the center. I suspect it is supposed to be off center a bit to line up with the trunk lid lock hook. Mike MacLean" View file[1] Enjoy!

In talking to the machinist, and explaining what the work is for, he told me that he makes adapter plates for Toyota and Nissan gearboxes (he said the Nissan 6-speed is a better swap than the Toyota 5-speed, FWIW). I don't know if he'd be willing to do pieces or a kit for a Healey gearbox swap, but seemed to be interested in the opportunity and I said I'd do a plug on the List: http://www.toyotav8.com He's in Central California, Modesto to be exact.

Just below the front U-joint the frame structure makes a sharp V. Although it might be possible to remove the U-joint bolts from below (one at a time, if you can turn the driveshaft), the V restricts access. It would be much less tedious to do it from above after removing the tunnel. The front U-joint bolts are locked with bent-over locking plates. You have to straighten the bent tabs to unscrew the bolts and nuts. The rear U-joints are more easily accessed. The driveshaft can be pulled out towards the rear. It's in two pieces with a sliding spline joint between them. There are arrows on each piece for alignment. Make sure you keep this alignment for balance reasons when you put it back together.

I believe these screws are a 5/16" x 24 thread. If the hole is not aligned perfectly you may sacrifice a little of the thread on one side of the hole. Worst case is that you end up drilling it out oversize and inserting a helicoil.

So look very carefully at the picture in the manual and count the links between the dots. This is extremely important as it is very easy to get it off by even one one tooth. And one tooth, either way, will have a dramatic effect on engine performance. In either case, it will be bad.

Using a mini Vise Grip pliers, I got it to move, applied more PB and more movement. Eventurally, the machine screw come off. The problem is replacing the screws. All I could obtain is stainless steel phillips head screws with a much larger head. So off to my friend George, who measured the existing screw head, put it in the lathe and determined the angle of the head is 43 degrees, so he slowly shaved off the sides of the head until it resembled the original screw.

Assuming the engine is sitting in its normal position (vertical, not lying on its side on your bench) then the Dots on the cam gear and crank gear (also, the keyway on the cam and the keyway on the crank) should both be at 12 o'clock (shop manual A.25, reassembling (2).

I believe these screws are a 5/16" x 24 thread. If the hole is not aligned perfectly you may sacrifice a little of the thread on one side of the hole. Worst case is that you end up drilling it out oversize and inserting a helicoil.

All I could obtain is stainless steel phillips head screws with a much larger head.

I.E. The #1 piston is at TDC twice in a 4 cycle engine. What method are you using to determine which cycle you are on? The fact that the pointer is pointing at the mark/slot on the harmonic damper is not enough. To be at TDC on the compression/power stroke the inlet & exhaust valves should not be open. If the rockers are loose (I.E. the valves are closed) your are on the correct stroke. If the rockers are not loose you are either not on the correct stroke or your cam timing is not correct.

Baffle idea and dimensions were taken from a email and picture Kimo sent us a while ago with the dimensions 18.5 x14 inches with a lip to fit on the cross member. It was constructed of light gage sheet metal. I gave the email with pictures to my friend George with the machine shop man cave. He produced a heavy gage (.005-1/16 inch thick) aluminum sheet with a 1 inch lip. It was too large for the opening, so I trimmed it to fit. A little less than 18.5 on the with so it was easier to position between the frame members. In addition, I trimmed the length to fit the slight curve of the cowling so it was 12.5 on the sides with 12.75 plus minus. You can see the layout in the 1st picture. If you use light gage metal you can trim with a sheet metal scissors while I had to use a side grinder with a metal cutting blade. I found 2 holes in the cross member which are 1/4 inch in diameter when cleaned up with a quarter inch drill so I could use a 5/16 x 18 tap to create threads to fit a machine cap screw. I used a Unibit multistep drill to cut a hole for the radiator drain. On the front I used 1/4 x 20 machine bolts to hold the baffle down on the cowling lip. As you can see from the pictures above it is now a structural part of the car. Then I took it off in order to paint to match the color of the car. I will install it when the radiator goes back in with a fan attached and, Hopefully, the engine is ready to start. I understand those who have installed such a baffle to direct air up into the radiator and the engine compartment rather than flow under the care have found the problem of vapor lock diminished. Others have installed a radiator fan in addition as I have and a bilge fan to force cool outside are on the carbs. >From Kimo's comments in Hawaii, the lower baffle seemed to work well. I am convinced as long as the car is moving ad 20-30 mph the flow of air directed by the baffle should keep the carbs cool while the addition of the radiator fan should help when the car is stopped in traffic in hot summer traffic. What do the other members of the group who have used the lower baffles say about the use of baffles only, radiator fan only, bilge fan only and combinations? Finally, someone in this group, I think , fabricated additional metal attached to air deflection assembly. Is there such a car in the group, or has anyone seen such a modification of the air deflection assembly?

Remember that these were handbuilt cars. None of them fit together perfectly. When I did my 100-6, there was some trimming to be done and the gap around the outside edge of the rear fender is going to have a piece of piping that starts at the top of the fender and goes down to the edge to the outer rocker. That also takes up some of that space and smooths out that transition. Hope the pic helps some.

If it makes a little noise because to gap is to big that is one thing but if you don?t have enough gap and things heat up and expand thus closing the gap then you may have much bigger issues. That said I set the gap at 12 thousands whether the engine is cold, warm or hot because that specification is also ambiguous. More likely you your engine is suffering from a raft of other maladies like pitted lifters, worn cam shaft lobes, worn rocker shaft bushings or bent push rods.

The bottom of the cross member was carefully cut out, and a couple of angle iron pieces were welded up inside the open section in a suitable fashion. The dented lower section was banged out on the floor to it?s original shape and then welded back onto the bottom where it came from, seam and all. After some careful grinding and a bit of shaping, I now have a very solid front cross member that I can jack up a Sherman tank on if necessary.

After some careful grinding and a bit of shaping, I now have a very solid front cross member that I can jack up a Sherman tank on if necessary. It is a good repair ? no need to use a replacement piece ? actually 3 including the 2 corner sections ? and we can smile and say that it?s all original. He actually favoured this method because it preserved the frame alignment. I smile every time I?m under there being dripped on. Cheers, Earl Kagna Victoria, B.C.

And photos etc. I am, as ever, impressed by people?s generosity with their time. 1. I shall be dealing with the UJs from above. (It?s just that I had the car up on its ramps, which is a job in itself, so I thought I might be able to take a short cut). 2. As to the chassis, I?ll not have a section cut out and a new piece welded in?it seems a bit OTT. No, I?ll get the thing up in the air and have a really good look and make a template for something sturdy, maybe ??. We?ll see?.no panic. Dent?s been there for 30 +/- years.

My BJ8 used to jump out of top gear in overdrive top at the end of the main straight at Eastern Creek at 6,000 rpm in overdrive top when I lifted off to turn left. My Uncle Pete (my race engineer) told me to get the rear drums balanced. It worked. Those heavy, poorly cast suckers put a lot of stress and vibration back through the drive train on over run - on lift off - more than you can imagine. Yes. Balance your rear drums.

(we actually had 6 or seven in the order for people who needed them here) ? all VH 40?s, most destined for BJ8?s). The fitting kits consisted of 2 pre-bent pipes, a pair of mounting brackets from Kilmartin, and a longer vacuum hose ? the PBR needs about 4 inches more to reach properly. This made it a bolt?in proposition, so I didn?t have to go through the angst of figuring it out myself! (There were no instuctions ? it?s really pretty straight forward.) Also note that it?s pretty nice having a bleed screw on the servo body ? makes the whole job much easier! The brake pipe fittings are the same as what the Girling uses ? they should be readily available ? along with the length of pipe ? to make up your own pipe assemblies if need be. I doubt that the existing pipes will work. The exact length and bend will depend on the servo mounting, which positions it in the car. Mounting brackets should not be too difficult to fabricate, or you could source a pair directly from Kilmartin if you are patient! One suggestion ? we had a couple of the short moulded angled rubber hoses fail ? they split pretty early on, leaving the brakes locked up. Do yourself a favour ? before you install the servo, replace it with a length of quality rubber hose and a couple of hose clamps. You will have to cut an inch or so off the steel pipe to make it work comfortably. If you wish, I can get a couple of photos of the installed servo on my BJ8. This might help you with the routing of the one brake pipe that has to go around the right side engine mount. Even then you might have to fiddle it a bit for the RHD installation. Let me know.

PBR manuals, destructions etcetc. Can?t say that I?m surprised?..they seem to be quite rare and even to fetch good money on Australian eBay. So, I suppose that you all had to do what I propose to do, namely suck it and see. But, before I start:- Can the old pipes (for the Girling) be persuaded to get to the PBR? Are the threads on the fittings that take the brake fluid in & out of the Girling the same as on the PBR? I don?t mind forking out for pipes, pipe bender (is one necessary?), etcetc. But, it would be silly to do all that if it?s not needed??

They use an "Add and Subtract" system on the worst drums, adding weight to one side and shaving the other. While this may not look concentric to the drum, the difference in shake is significant and the change is invisible with the wheel on. Laurie Sent from my Galaxy Tab?

(I doubted this as the amount of metal removed would be minimal). I was told the drums were originally ground slightly off center causing the shaking. Hendrix adds metal and that is what I went with. It sounded safer to me.

A couple of people said they had them done by various specialists on a lathe by skimming the fins. This will make the outside of the drum round, which I imagine must help, but that is different from balancing, which I understand may involve subtracting and/or adding weight in strategic places, as one would in balancing a tyre. I don?t think balancing can be achieved simply by truing the outside of the drum, but I am glad to be corrected. So by drum balancing, are these wonderful accolades a result of drum truing or drum balancing?

Wire wheels must be mounted on the machined surfaces not just with internal cones as a company that does not normally balance wire wheels would do. It won't do any good to shave the tires from the wrong center. So a specialist who understands British wire wheels is essential to having the job done properly. Besides Hendrix there is K & T Vintage Sports Cars in Bethlehem, PA owned by Ken Beck, an Austin-Healey owner. Check their website at http://www.ktvintagecars.com/ for a video of the tire shaving process. I have some new tires for my MG wire wheels that I will have them mount and balance, and shave if required. I know Ken, but never had any work done by him. Others have great things to say about the process and their work in general. I had my drums balanced several years ago by the local NAPA machine shop who do my engine rebuild machining.

Drives at 2,000 rpm at 70 mph with its five speed and it's just a joy. Time for new tires this year and they are going back to Hendrix for the treatment.

There is always a slight seepage through the plastic valves. They are never 100% leak free. If you hear it pumping more often the chance is that the seat faces of the valves are dirty or corroded. This can usually be remedied by carefully removing the valve assemblies, prying out the plastic valves very prudently, clean them and clean the faces of the bodies. If very corroded the valve assemblies can be renewed. When fitting them back in the pump body use new rubber seals (flat rubber rings). If they are not available you can usually get away with fitting suitable O-rings. If the pump is out clean the contact points with a strip of 2000 flower paper. When the points are severely worn, dismantle and rebuild the pump and keep the 3-layer membrane if possible as the new single layer membranes are of a lesser quality. Be very careful not to damage the thin kevlar layer when removing the pump body, separate the layers and rub some talcum powder between the layers very sparingly to create a supple membrane assembly. If you follow the SU instruction to the letter the job of rebuilding is a piece of cake and should not take more than half an hour. Parts are available at the SU dealers.

I surmised (guessed) that the passageway may be there to allow the pump to 'bleed down' when the engine isn't running. Not sure why, but one reason could be that it could be detrimental to the diaphragm to be in the 'cocked and loaded' position for too long. Can't say if the later pumps have something similar but, as Kees says, the flapper valves probably leak enough to prevent this.

Not needed as the max. pressure is only 3,7 psi. A tiny leakage is through the plastic valves or in the rest of the fuel system after the pump, e.g. float valves. Damage to parts in the pump is simply not possible with such a low max. pressure. I have rebuild well over a hundred SU-pumps by now, most AUF301, and have at least 20 of those on the shelf. The same pump is also used in many XK Jaguars, Triumph Stag and Jensen-Healey.

For a rotating mass two types of balancing is required, static and dynamic. If the rotating mass was a thin disk it would be essentially a two dimensional object and you could add or subtract weight to the perimeter until the disk didn't move no matter how it was rotated. It would be statically balanced. Unfortunately the rotating tires, wheels, hubs, brakes and knock offs on our Healey's is a three dimensional system made up of various components each of which can be out of round and out of balance. All three dimensional systems must be balanced statically and dynamically to remove vibrations. Suggestion number one is if the shop doing the balancing doesn't know the difference find another shop. The perfect balancing machine would accept all of the rotating parts as one complete assembly and rotate about the same centre as the axle. Unfortunately, a machine like this is not usually available to Healey owners. The next option is to balance the parts separately. Check the wheel mounting surfaces on the hubs for run out on the car using a dial gauge and if they run true likely they are fine. The brake drums are castings and could be out of balance from the casting process or subsequent machining. The drums can be balanced by either removing weight or adding weight the same way tires are balanced. I prefer the adding weight method as it allows for some trail and error and the weight can be added close to where it is needed. Ideally the drums and hubs would be balanced as one unit. Balancing tires and wheels is a similar process. Step one is to check the wheels are straight and round if they are not balancing may not be possible. Literature I have suggests "wobble" should be less than 0.055". See attached. Assuming the balancing machine has the capability to do both a static and dynamic balance the tire and wheel must be rotated about the same centre as if it were on the car. With centre lock wire wheels an adapter is needed for most balancing machines. See the attached PDF for a description. Another point to review with the balancing shop. If they cannot mount the wheel on the balancing machine the same way it is mounted on the car find another shop. There is a link below to the Wikipedia page on balancing rotating masses and YouTube video of a brake drum and hub being balanced together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-CD3ppfJU Probably way too much information but it may save some from wasting money on the wrong method or irreversibly grinding away brake drums with a shop that doesn't fully understand the balancing process.

A couple of people said they had them done by various specialists on a lathe by skimming the fins. This will make the outside of the drum round, which I imagine must help, but that is different from balancing, which I understand may involve subtracting and/or adding weight in strategic places, as one would in balancing a tyre. I don't think balancing can be achieved simply by truing the outside of the drum, but I am glad to be corrected. So by drum balancing, are these wonderful accolades a result of drum truing or drum balancing?

Wire wheels must be mounted on the machined surfaces not just with internal cones as a company that does not normally balance wire wheels would do. It won't do any good to shave the tires from the wrong center. So a specialist who understands British wire wheels is essential to having the job done properly. Besides Hendrix there is K & T Vintage Sports Cars in Bethlehem, PA owned by Ken Beck, an Austin-Healey owner. Check their website at http://www.ktvintagecars.com/ for a video of the tire shaving process. I have some new tires for my MG wire wheels that I will have them mount and balance, and shave if required. I know Ken, but never had any work done by him. Others have great things to say about the process and their work in general. I had my drums balanced several years ago by the local NAPA machine shop who do my engine rebuild machining.

While I have not had a Healey for several years now, about 10 years ago I had the dreaded scuttle shake at 55MPH and cured it by taking my drums to a local tire store that has been in business for years (not one of the chains that heavily advertise but hire kids with all thumbs and that have never heard of a wire wheel). Anyway, they had the proper milling machines and for about 20 bucks apiece, trued the drums and balanced them. Goodbye scuttle shake. Your task, should you accept it, is to find such a shop. Otherwise, this message will disappear in 30 seconds as do all good pieces of information in the world of Mission Impossible.

On 2/18/2018 11:32 AM, Harold Manifold wrote: There is a lot of good discussion on this topic and although my Healey drums and wires wheels are in my basement and not on my car I can offer some suggestions that may help. For a rotating mass two types of balancing is required, static and dynamic. If the rotating mass was a thin disk it would be essentially a two dimensional object and you could add or subtract weight to the perimeter until the disk didn't move no matter how it was rotated. It would be statically balanced. Unfortunately the rotating tires, wheels, hubs, brakes and knock offs on our Healey's is a three dimensional system made up of various components each of which can be out of round and out of balance. All three dimensional systems must be balanced statically and dynamically to remove vibrations. Suggestion number one is if the shop doing the balancing doesn't know the difference find another shop. The perfect balancing machine would accept all of the rotating parts as one complete assembly and rotate about the same centre as the axle. Unfortunately, a machine like this is not usually available to Healey owners. The next option is to balance the parts separately. Check the wheel mounting surfaces on the hubs for run out on the car using a dial gauge and if they run true likely they are fine. The brake drums are castings and could be out of balance from the casting process or subsequent machining. The drums can be balanced by either removing weight or adding weight the same way tires are balanced. I prefer the adding weight method as it allows for some trail and error and the weight can be added close to where it is needed. Ideally the drums and hubs would be balanced as one unit. Balancing tires and wheels is a similar process. Step one is to check the wheels are straight and round if they are not balancing may not be possible. Literature I have suggests "wobble" should be less than 0.055". See attached. Assuming the balancing machine has the capability to do both a static and dynamic balance the tire and wheel must be rotated about the same centre as if it were on the car. With centre lock wire wheels an adapter is needed for most balancing machines. See the attached PDF for a description. Another point to review with the balancing shop. If they cannot mount the wheel on the balancing machine the same way it is mounted on the car find another shop. There is a link below to the Wikipedia page on balancing rotating masses and YouTube video of a brake drum and hub being balanced together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iy-CD3ppfJU Probably way too much information but it may save some from wasting money on the wrong method or irreversibly grinding away brake drums with a shop that doesn't fully understand the balancing process.

I spend hours Googling photos of various issues but this time, I decided to ask silly question number 7. Regarding the pass-through holes in the bulkhead, I think I've run things through correctly for the most part. To speed things up for the remainder, I thought I'd take a photo of my car and give each empty hole a number. If you can provide guidance for the correct use of the holes I'd appreciate it. I'm sure some if not most are not used and just need a blanking plug but I wanted to make sure before I install the engine. I THINK holes # 1,2 & 3 are empty and should get a blanking plug. Hole #4 and 5 are where the engine temp sensor cable and choke pass through? I have no idea what hole # 6 is for. I ran the control for the cold air valve just above hole #7 but I'm not sure what 7 is for. Lastly, Inside of the car I've seen several photos of what looks like the choke cable located UNDER the dash on the driver's side, often marked with a "C" on the knob. For my car, Am I correct to run the choke control through the hole in the dash just above the cold air control?

I surmised (guessed) that the passageway may be there to allow the pump to 'bleed down' when the engine isn't running.? Not sure why, but one reason could be that it could be detrimental to the diaphragm to be in the 'cocked and loaded' position for too long.? Can't say if the later pumps have something similar but, as Kees says, the flapper valves probably leak enough to prevent this.

There is always a slight seepage through the plastic valves. They are never 100% leak free. If you hear it pumping more often the chance is that the seat faces of the valves are dirty or corroded. This can usually be remedied by carefully removing the valve assemblies, prying out the plastic valves very prudently, clean them and clean the faces of the bodies. If very corroded the valve assemblies can be renewed. When fitting them back in the pump body use new rubber seals (flat rubber rings). If they are not available you can usually get away with fitting suitable O-rings. If the pump is out clean the contact points with a strip of 2000 flower paper. When the points are severely worn, dismantle and rebuild the pump and keep the 3-layer membrane if possible as the new single layer membranes are of a lesser quality. Be very careful not to damage the thin kevlar layer when removing the pump body, separate the layers and rub some talcum powder between the layers very sparingly to create a supple membrane assembly. If you follow the SU instruction to the letter the job of rebuilding is a piece of cake and should not take more than half an hour. Parts are available at the SU dealers.

Not sure why, but one reason could be that it could be detrimental to the diaphragm to be in the 'cocked and loaded' position for too long.? Can't say if the later pumps have something similar but, as Kees says, the flapper valves probably leak enough to prevent this. > > > > Bob > > -------------------------------- > Bob Spidell - San Jose, CA > On February 18, 2018 at 10:50 AM Oudesluys wrote: > > > > It should pump/click every 15s or more. There is always a slight seepage through the plastic valves. They are never 100% leak free. If you hear it pumping more often the chance is that the seat faces of the valves are dirty or corroded. This can usually be remedied by carefully removing the valve assemblies, prying out the plastic valves very prudently, clean them and clean the faces of the bodies. If very corroded the valve assemblies can be renewed. When fitting them back in the pump body use new rubber seals (flat rubber rings). If they are not available you can usually get away with fitting suitable O-rings. > If the pump is out clean the contact points with a strip of 2000 flower paper. > When the points are severely worn, dismantle and rebuild the pump and keep the 3-layer membrane if possible as the new single layer membranes are of a lesser quality. Be very careful not to damage the thin kevlar layer when removing the pump body, separate the layers and rub some talcum powder between the layers very sparingly to create a supple membrane assembly. > If you follow the SU instruction to the letter the job of rebuilding is a piece of cake and should not take more than half an hour.

I slid the trans/od into place as far as it would go. This left about an inch or so gap between the bell housing and the block. With the trans/od in this position, the trans splines are lined up but not the OD splines. Now, using heavy wire (with the trans/od still almost installed)(I used mechanics wire), wire the drive flange to the trans case using several of the holes of the drive flange (I used all of them). Be sure the wires are tight so the drive flange cannot move even a fraction. This will hold the drive flange (and the trans splines) in place. Now remove the trans/od and line up the od splines with the trans splines. Without moving anything else, the trans/od should slide into place with no problem. Mine went in so easily that I did not realize it was actually in. Cut the wires on the drive flange and you are ready to proceed. Good luck.

The OD was mounted securely in a bench vise. It still needed a few tries but doing this vertically avoided all those small parts to fall out of alignment, so you could give this a try. I then tested the box on the bench connecting an 7" angle grinder to the input mainshaft with a strong rubber hose and a couple hose clamps.? I know this sounds rudimentary but this setup was instrumental in testing the OD, the operating valve ball was not seating properly and operating irregularly, a sacrificial ball and a good knock with a ball peen hammer and steel punch solved this issue.?? If you're interested I can go find the shaft, my intention was to put it on (fe)ebay when the car is ready, which should be soon.

I am still working abroad in Vancouver B.C which is a straight shoot up from California, so I am trying to be at home 2 weekends out of 3. You'll see a bit more activity from me on the list again. What's left to do: chrome, windshield, cockpit surround, flashers, push horn/wiring. interior, boot liner and a 100 little things. The steel gastank sprang a pinhole leak, so that needs to be fixed at once as I like to run the car at least once a month, if I don't the SU carburetors seals dry out. Then some controlled trips... before hitting up the horizon.

I had aligned the splines in the rear of the OD with my mainshaft before assembling the gearbox, but even then they didn't want to merge and, of course, after several tries the splines became misaligned (and I don't have a much-desired spare mainshaft). I've done my best to get the splines aligned by prodding with a screwdriver but, even with them visibly aligned the two won't slip together.

The A40 Sports were made by Jensen Motors with an all alloy body under contract to Austin in the pre-BMC period. Released in late 1950 the A40 Sports was not marketed as a sports car, but as a touring car. Without the contacts made through the A40 Sports, Jenson Motors would not have been given the contract to build the new Austin-Healey 100. The A40 Sports was and is quite a spirited performer and I would be very pleased to have one in my garage as they formed a very important part of the late 1940s and 1950s British automotive history.

They open and interrupt the power to the field windings when the battery is fully charged, however if there is a tiny bit of corrosion built up on the points from years of sitting on a shelf then no current will flow to start the charging. Ideally take the points off and file them because sandpaper can leave material behind, however this isn't normally an issue if you use 600-800 grit paper. I'm sure you know about the need for generator polarising if the genny came off a different (negative earth) car previously. Andy.

Disconnect the leads from the dynamo. Then connect a voltmeter from D to ground. Run engine and check if the voltmeter gives you a reading. If no: polarize the dynamo! If you see about 3-6 V: Connect a cable from battery + to the field terminal F momentarily. If you get a 12V reading, rising when you speed up the engine, all is well. Than check the regulator! My personal view is, that new regulators are a complete piece of junk. Either buy original Lucas NOS or convert your Lucas regulator to electronics. I bought three (!) regulators. No .1 did not work, No.2 did not work. No.3 worked well for two hours and then smoked the brand new armature of my dynamo... With the the electronic regulator I am very happy, no glowing of the charge light at idling speed. Have fun..

Here is another simple quick test procedure to verify generator functionality. You don't even need to start the engine. Remove the armature (big one) and field (small one) wires from the gen. With a clip lead connect the 2 terminals together at the gen. Loosen fan belt (not essential but better practice). With another temp lead connect/flash them to batt supply. I use the solenoid terminal. You will see some sparks and the gen pulley trying to turn if all is OK. It is now running as a shunt motor. If you loosened the belt it will spin smoothly if all is OK. rg From: Thomas Willig Sent: Tuesday, February 27, 2018 7:41 AM To: 'Patrick & Caroline Quinn' ; 'healeys at autox.team.net' Subject: Re: [Healeys] Generator not Generating Hi there, before jumping to the regulator, I suggest that you check the generator output first.

Disconnect the two cables from the generator then link the two terminals together with a short lead. 2. Start the engine and allow to run at idling speed. Clip one lead from a voltmeter (set at 20 Volts) to the linked terminals of the generator. Clip the other lead from the voltmeter to a good earthing (ground) point on the body (support bracket) of the generator 3. Gradually increase the engine speed; the voltmeter reading should rise rapidly without fluctuations. Do not allow the voltmeter reading to reach 20 volts and do not race the engine in an attempt to obtain a reading. An engine speed of 1000 RPM should not be exceeded. 4. No reading points to brush gear failure, a reading of 0.5 - 1.0 Volts is a possible fault in the field winding and 4.0 - 5.0 Volts, a faulty armature.

My nine-year-old grandson and I want to build it in time for Conclave in French Lick. Everyone is building one, right (just kidding), well except for Mitch, I know you'll have one. I've looked online yet it difficult to get enough specs to make an informed decision. I know I'll have to modify it, I don't mind and in fact look forward to it, yet I'd like to be somewhat kinda close. I wondered can anyone suggest a 1/10 scale model car chassis that they have successfully grafted or used. I found a couple of cars for around $40...and of course some for a LOT more. My thought was to buy a $40-50 car and play with it, of course, that's a few beers. We used to have hobby shops where I could go yet they all seem to be long gone. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I also did one for the (then) owner of the Sebring car FAC57. Chassis I used was a 1/10 scale Toyota Supra (electric) ? can?t remember the brand. Important thing is the wheelbase ? wait until you have the chassis before cutting out the wheel arches. Otherwise it?s a matter of painting (on the inside - you need the correct polycarbonate paints ? masking is the most difficult part) Then it?s just a matter of drilling the holes for the mounting posts correctly.
