[Healeys] Blanking Plate

[David Nock BCS]

The originals we a very thin alloy piece that warps and leaks so the added the ribs to try and strengthen the plate which still warped and leaked.

Yes there is a replacement available made of a 1/4 inch alloy.  We have them in stock if needed.

Sorry, my bad, I was thinking of the one used on the 100/6 ... different animal.

  Photo attached of my BN1’s engine as removed (clearly for the first time in its life!) years ago—plate is just a flat piece of steel, not a casting.  Apparently just another way for the company to save a few pence….

  John is absolutely correct however I would point out that the original blanking plate was actually a beautifully made die casting with ribs in the shape of an X. Also as John mentioned it was installed with small tubular spacers under the nut.

    There nothing special about these and they can be cut out of 1/8" steel plate. If you have a gacket set there should should be one to act as a template. 



    A small detail, the studs are too long and to be fully authentic you need short spacers under the fixing nuts. It is assumed that Austin did not wish to have different blocks to allow for a mechanical fuel pump being fitted or not.



    Best regards
