Hi Curt, I notice that the bracket in your photos uses 3 screws ... do you
remember the body number?
B.#1276 had only 2. ... wondering if the number of screws changed at some
point?

Now that is a very interesting picture !!
[image: image.png]
I could be mistaken but I believe that that picture indicates that the boot
lit stay bracket, on the lid, remained of the same
type as the very first production cars until after the change from
aluminium to steel for the boot lid at B.#4129
That sure looks like a steel lid to me!!

Thank you John,
I had one of the later pieces at one time, but could never figure out how it fit. I finally gave up and discarded it and now see that was the correct thing to do.

Bill
The early 100 had a welded in bracket that just was turned down with a large hole where a screw, large washer and nut supported the centre of the dash.
The later BN1s and BN2s had a separate bracket that supported the centre of the dash with the same central fixings but the top of the bracket fixed to the same holes as the rear view mirror. The bracket was shaped to allow spire nuts to be fitted. The mirror then fixed down using course self tap screws that fitted into the spire nuts below
All the best

There is a longitudinal support spot welded to the steel scuttle at that point behind the dash. The exact hardware to attach the dash is somewhat of a mystery, at least to me, but it must include a distance piece to avoid denting the dash and some washers because the hole in the support is too large for the nut on the screw. I used a #10 phillips oval headed machine screw with a stainless steel trim washer and sundry hardware to tighten the assembly and avoid damage to the dash surface. I would be interested to know how it was originally done.

Can someone please tell me what the hole is above and to the left of the overdrive switch is for. In researching pictures on the internet I see some dash panels have the hole and others do not. Keep in mind I am putting an early two piece dash in my BN2 just because that is what I have that was given to me by the late Tom Rocke. This is the reason the overdrive switch seems to be in the wrong location for a BN2. The configuration of the early two piece dash has the ignition switch and the overdrive switch locations swapped. I have seen some pictures of the hole to the right of the overdrive switch with a screw in it, but I have no idea what it bolts to in the back. See picture of recently assembled dash after new paint job.

Michael,
The early Healey Blue boot lid bracket with the three screws was a car
restored by the late Rich Chrysler, and it may not be correct. The red car
two screw
version is from Steve Kingsbury's late (as it has passed on to the fire
gods) BN1 no. 598. We know that this one IS/was correct.
Curt

Curt/Michael,
To add to the confusion here is a couple photos of the bracket on Body #1000.

The car was restored by the original owner in California and I doubt, given the drawings done by the owner during the restoration and came with the car, that anything on it was modified.

Michael,
The early Healey Blue boot lid bracket with the three screws was a car restored by the late Rich Chrysler, and it may not be correct. The red car two screw
version is from Steve Kingsbury's late (as it has passed on to the fire gods) BN1 no. 598. We know that this one IS/was correct.

I could be mistaken but I believe that that picture indicates that the boot lit stay bracket, on the lid, remained of the same
type as the very first production cars until after the change from aluminium to steel for the boot lid at B.#4129
That sure looks like a steel lid to me!!

That does not look correct. It's a steel bonnet, and no. 741 would have had an aluminum bonnet.
Attached are photos of the aluminum bonnet bracket.

Subject: [Healeys] Bootlid Bracket -
Listers,
Currently working on a bootlid(trunk) for an early BN1 (Nov. ?53) and the bracket for the telescopic proprod is missing. The bootlid is aluminium and only shows one hole for the bracket to be secured to it. Yesterday I got a photo of one model of bracket from Michael Salter but this model has three countersunk machined screws holding the bracket to the lid. According to Michael, there were three different models of these.
Would anyone with a model that has only one machined screw securing the bracket to the lid send me a photo so I can fabricate one such bracket. This BN1 is Body #877 so perhaps any model around that number would have the bracket I am looking for
Thanks,
Jean

Well that nasty looking boot lid bracket gave up a body number, 1726. That would have been a late 1953/early 1954 car. I recall pulling a BN1 out of a chicken coup in Waimanalo Hawaii in the late 1970?s. I gave it to my eldest son in 1985, he was 15 at the time. Too far gone to repair (in those days) it was stripped by him (good way to pass on the passion) and he was gifted a little later with a 1957 BN4 parts car that is still on the road today.
So I suspect that that rusty bracket came from the pile of BN1 parts of 34 years ago.
As they say, A good story will sell anything, but I think I?ll clean it up and put it on my desk?.

Brad,
I feel your frustration. I constructed my own wood rear seat assembly for my 65 BJ8 phase I from pattern taken from a punky spare 67 BJ8 phase 2 (New hinges from Healey Surgeons). It was about 5/8 inch too wide. Many trimming and refitting tries to get it to fit. Also I needed to make sure covering was not too thick. Had some vinyl with fuzzy backing and noticed that many wood parts were covered with non fuzzy back vinyl. Can?t suggest any easy fix for too wide. I think that you?ll have to strip end pieces and plane them to gain clearance.

The light assembly I bought from one of the usual suspects is a two piece affair. It has a very nice external threaded chrome bezel and an internal threaded green tube with a sort of lens coming up through the center and protruding into the bezel. This would be fine if it was mounted to a one piece dash, but as you can see in the picture the mounting hole is not centered in relation to the sheet metal above and behind the instrument panel. Easy enough, just grind away until it fits. This brings up another question. If I didn't want to bugger up an original early two piece dash, what did the early light bulbholder fitting that would fit here look like?

I'm getting ready to have a new top installed and making sure I have all
the right bits. The top bow legs fit into sockets. I read somewhere that
the factory used plastic sleeves in the sockets. Moss does not show any
sleeves in their catalogue. The sockets are a larger than the top bow legs
so It makes sense to me to find something that will take up a bit of that
slop. Any suggestions?

What year is the body? Is this your cobbled together 2 seater? BT7 had a
bent and straight legged top bow. Bent leg fit in front holes, the straight
in back on four seaters
Never seen plastic inserts.

Richard,
On the BN6 tops the legs do indeed have a plastic cover, it is very thin and at least on the couple I have seen they were grey in colour and they cover the bottom 3.5? to 4? of the legs. One thing you could use is some clear shrink tubing cut to size, it is pretty well the same thickness.

???? I'd like to say fitting the splined hubs to the front spindles of this disc brake conversion for my BN2 has got me seeing stars.? I did not take it apart, so I have no idea what to start with for the number or size of shims to torque it down with 40-70 ft lbs and still have free rotation but no end play.? I started out with one .020 shim added to one .030, added to one .010 added to one .005 and one .003 shim.?? A total of 5 shims.? The hub locks up at 40 ft lbs of torque on the nut, so I added an identical stack on top of the first five shims.? We are talking .136 thickness in shims total and it still locks up at 40 ft lbs.? This is where I stopped at about midnight last night.? I had enough for tonight.? I am going back after it tomorrow, but I am running out of shims.? I have to order more to do the passenger side.? Nobody told me how many shims I might need when putting this together with all new parts and never having disassembled it in the first place.? By the way, the ins
tructions that a few of you on the list gave me for soing this job had me a little confuse.? The illustration of the two bearings, distance piece, shims, tabbed washer and castellated nut assembled without the splined hub for illustration purposes has an arrow at the bottom of the illustration pointed at the surfaces between the distance piece and the inside of the out bearing race.? It says 12 shims here!? You can clearly see in the picture the shims directly behind the tabbed washer.? I started saying bad words when I saw that.? I still have at least two of every size shim left, but I ma not sure even that will be enough.? I can tell you one thing,? if I ever have to turn the rotors again in the future, you can damn bet they will be turned in place.? There, I feel better now. (Not really!)

Mike,
Yes, the factory parts list I have (AKD3523 shows the shims between the
outer bearing and the tabbed washer. A previous owner drew an arrow
showing the correct location. The shims go between the distance piece
and the outer bearing.
I've only done the shims on a few Healeys, but I've never seen that many
shims required. Less than 0.060" thickness required.
Can you send some photos of the hardware? Are the parts from a later
BJ8, or earlier 3000 (different outer bearing, shims, distance piece,
etc)? If the later BJ8, do you have the spacer that goes between the
axle and the inner bearing?
Cheers,
Bob Haskell

Mike, I don't know if your installation is like a BJ8, but the shim thickness in my BJ8 is 0.047. Make sure your assembly is like the attachment.

I am retrofitting a 3000 disc brake setup to a BN2.? I invested in new correct front splines hubs for this purpose and all the appropriate hardware involved.? Now, the shim I bought do not look like they will fit over the diameter of the stub axle at the location (against the distance piece, behind the outer bearing).? Is there an inner diameter difference between BJ8 shims and earlier front suspensions?? Did I buy the wrong shims?? This job just gets to be more fun all the time.Mike MacLean
P.S. Thanks for the clarification on shim location.? Apparantly I could have put a half inch of shims behind the tabbed washer and would never have been adjusted correctly.? I understand why they must go where they go now.? Just takes a while to get through this thick skull of mine.

Yes the BJ8 shims are different but they are not interchangable.
Check the wheel bearing races, You probably do not have them set all the way down.
Usually there is about .060 in shims. The shims will be installed between the spacer and the outer wheel bearing.
The best way to adjust them is to do your adjustments with no grease. Then after you have the shims required remove the hub and them put your wheel bearing grease in and re assemble.

That is the edge of the inner race of the outer bearing. I?ve attached another illustration that might add some understanding.

OK, I see where the shims go in your cutaway illustration, but what is that thickness of material behind the tabbed washer and outside of the outer bearing?

Mike, I don't know if your installation is like a BJ8, but the shim thickness in my BJ8 is 0.047. Make sure your assembly is like the attachment.

Mike,
Yes, the factory parts list I have (AKD3523 shows the shims between the
outer bearing and the tabbed washer. A previous owner drew an arrow
showing the correct location. The shims go between the distance piece
and the outer bearing.
I've only done the shims on a few Healeys, but I've never seen that many
shims required. Less than 0.060" thickness required.
Can you send some photos of the hardware? Are the parts from a later
BJ8, or earlier 3000 (different outer bearing, shims, distance piece,
etc)? If the later BJ8, do you have the spacer that goes between the
axle and the inner bearing?
Cheers,
Bob Haskell
