[Healeys] Amazing technology

[Greg Wilkinson]

Hi Ed,
I wouldn't think shrinking would apply. Bumpers aren't cast, but stamped?
I'd chalk it up to bad manufacturing. As my dad always said, "measure twice,
cut once." :~)

Cheers,
Greg

<<From what I understand of sand casting, using the original part would make
a new part that is too small. As the metal cools after solidifying, it
contracts. Each type of metal has a different characteristic.>>

Which WOULD explain how Overriders and Bumpers got 'reduced', Greg.

I think Roger Moment fist pointed the diffs out to me WITH actual
sizes.  Perhaps Richard Gordon (Lister) could ask and post the info???
