Hi Wayne,

First what do you mean by "early BN1?"  If it's the Spiral Bevel rear end,
then the standard 3.54 rear end conversion *will not work*.  These will
only work on the later BN1s with the Hypoid Bevel rear end starting at
chassis no. 221536 in Nov. '54.

That being said, maybe there is a lower gear option for the Spiral Bevel
unit, but if there is, I'm not aware of who might supply it.

BTW, my shop here in San Diego installed my Lempert 3.54 rear-end, and of
course rebuilt the whole unit while they had the thing apart.  Fortunately,
the shop had done a number of Healey conversions and was very familiar with
the process.  BTW, I have one of the very early BN1 Hypoid rear end units
with the filler plug on the carrier versus on the top of the pumpkin as on
the later cars, but there was no problem.

Anyone interested, I have an spare original 3.54 rear end that I picked up
20 years ago in Australia from my friend Rob Rowland at the Healey
Factory.  If interested, send me an email.

Cheers,

Curt

Austin America convertibles were fitted with a 3.666666:1 differential. 
Direct exchange should you find one.. Best chance is probably the UK.

Hi Wayne, I have a 3.55/ 1 ratoi in the spiral bevel differential of my
early BN1. Mine is from an Austin Atlantic convertible, the fixed head used
a different ratio.
This was an available option for the BN1 and was supplied with a 140MPH
speedometer.
With the 28% overdrive it is an ideal combination for modern roads
providing 70 MPH cruising at under 3000 RPM.
I believe that Dennis Welsh have the crownwhell an pinion set available for
the 3.55/1 ratio.
It is a relatively easy installation if you are familiar with differential
assembly.

Agreed. Absolutely. I=E2=80=99ve a 3:54 in my diff & a 28% OD. Does =

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Healey BN-1 rear

=20

Hi Wayne, I have a 3.55/ 1 ratoi in the spiral bevel differential of my =
early BN1. Mine is from an Austin Atlantic convertible, the fixed head =
used a different ratio.

This was an available option for the BN1 and was supplied with a 140MPH =
speedometer.=20

With the 28% overdrive it is an ideal combination for modern roads =
providing 70 MPH cruising at under 3000 RPM.

I believe that Dennis Welsh have the crownwhell an pinion set available =
for the 3.55/1 ratio.

It is a relatively easy installation if you are familiar with =
differential assembly.

Hi Wayne,

=20

First what do you mean by "early BN1?"  If it's the Spiral Bevel rear =
end, then the standard 3.54 rear end conversion will not work.  These =
will only work on the later BN1s with the Hypoid Bevel rear end starting =
at chassis no. 221536 in Nov. '54.

=20

That being said, maybe there is a lower gear option for the Spiral Bevel =
unit, but if there is, I'm not aware of who might supply it.

=20

BTW, my shop here in San Diego installed my Lempert 3.54 rear-end, and =
of course rebuilt the whole unit while they had the thing apart.  =
Fortunately, the shop had done a number of Healey conversions and was =
very familiar with the process.  BTW, I have one of the very early BN1 =
Hypoid rear end units with the filler plug on the carrier versus on the =
top of the pumpkin as on the later cars, but there was no problem.

=20

Anyone interested, I have an spare original 3.54 rear end that I picked =
up 20 years ago in Australia from my friend Rob Rowland at the Healey =
Factory.  If interested, send me an email.

=20

Cheers,

Does anyone have the specifications for installing a 3:5 or so gear set =
into an early BN-1 100-4 differential? I am looking for pinion preload =
and ring gear lash etc.My friend with his 100-4 spends a lot of time on =
the highway and would like to lower his rpm's at highway speeds. Denis =
Welch has the gearset needed, just would need specs, available of shims, =
bearings etc. I have done several conversions on Healey 3000's but the =
BN-1 third member is a different animal

                                    Thanks
