I bought a thin open ended wrench off of ebay and did some filing.? Took 
the switch off easily.

So the next question - what's the thread size?? Looks to be 5/8"-13 - 55 
degrees.? Anyone know for sure?

Cheers,

What is your collective wisdom in using John Deer Cornhead grease NLGI 0 in
a Healey steering box? I had been using Penrite steering box oil, but the
usual places seem to be out of it.

I used it for some years with good results. While it's technically an oil
it's thick like grease, so warming it up before injection into the steering
box helps.

For best results you might want to get the old stuff out, but likely not
strictly necessary.

Hello,

I use Castrol SHL #00 grease, which is available at NAPA. The advantage of
Castrol SHL is that it comes in a tube that fits into a standard caulking
gun.

Since this grease doesn't flow or level well in the steering box, I attach
a hose to the end of the grease tube and push it down as far into the box
as possible. Once the grease begins to emerge from the top, you know the
steering box is full.

Best regards,
Harold

HI Team: I'm going to replace my generator in my BJ8. Is it the same
generator as in the 100-6? ARe there different sizes or models? I think
there is only one, but just checking. Racing this weekend at Lime Rock
(in a different Healey), if anyone is in the area.

Thanks

Jon,

The BJ8 generator (C42) is smaller than the one fitted to the earlier 6 
cylinders (C45).? The number gives the outside diameter - C45 is 4.5" in 
diameter.

Cheers,

Yes, Corn head grease is really the ideal solution - it liquefies on the
contact surfaces but stays solid in the rest of the box.  In effect it is
self sealing but still provides high quality liquid lubricaton on the high
pressure contact area

That's because lucas never used UNF  - it will be a BA (for small stuff) or
Whitworth spanner size.  This size corresponds to an 11/16" Whitworth
Spanner.

Jon, any reason to not just take the existing generator to a rebuild shop
and have it either IRAN'd or completely rebuilt?

Alan,

It's not listed on many Whitworth charts.? 11/16 W is 1.200" AF. 1-5/32" 
is 1.156".? 0.044" difference.? Seems a bit sloppy, but not a lot of 
torque required.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Well, the factory generator lasted 50+ years. Hopefully a good rebuild will
set it up for another 50!

I drove my BN4 today after a five month rest I drove to our local ABFM. On
my way back I noticed that the brake pedal felt harder and the front disc
brakes had a longer stopping distance. Before I pulled it into the garage I
noticed brake fluid on the driveway pan, so I checked the reservoir. It was
3/4 empty. The bottom of the tank was dry. Any ideas on where I should
look? The leak is towards the front left. Could it be a leaking caliper?

Hi Ira,

It could be the fittings at the bottom of the reservoir tank, which is
located near the front left.

The symptoms that you describe are very like a failed brake servo unit Ira.
Has one been fitted to your car by chance?

I drove my Healey to our local ABFM. On the way home the brakes felt hard
and stopping distances were longer. I have early MK1 disc brakes.
When I got home I saw a puddle of clean flying on the drip pan under my
front left caliper or brake tank. No leaks under the tank. The tank was
nearly empty. So hose or caliper. I have not checked yet. But will try to
get it off the ground this weekend. Any recommendations for rebuilders if
it's the caliper. Apple hydraulics used to be good. Are they still?
It has early MK1 calipers. So I most likely will need to send them out.

Anyone else catch the Healey in the Chase Sapphire Gold CC commercial, 
with a photogenic (of course) young couple apparently driving around 
Italy? Only the cockpit and some of the upper body shown; looks to be a 
BJ7 or 8 in Healey Blue. I caught it in the 4th quarter of the Raiders 
v. Dolphins game.

The old girl's still got it ?

I decided to treat myself because I had a significant birthday this year, and I rented an MGB for most of last week in Provence. My daughter lives in Marseille so my wife and I usually visit in September.
I could have had a Healey (BJ7) but I wanted to try something different, and the MG was a little cheaper.
I missed the grunt of the Healey at times, but I loved the steering and handling of the MGB, and the roads are terrific?the rental agreement states that you?re not allowed to venture onto the main motorways and the speed is restricted to 60 mph, but who cares? The BMC 1800 BMC engine feels like it?s revving quite high at 50 in 4th gear?too bad only 20% of them came with O/D.
The stable my car came out of also had a few other British sports cars, and a couple of genuine Porsche Speedsters?I would not want to be responsible for the flawless black paint on one of those Speedsters! You?re bound to be threading some narrow village streets with local drivers coming the other way, and giving no quarter.
Anyway, a great experience, and much cheaper than shipping the Healey over, I highly recommend it!

Stephen, BJ8

That's funny.  The reason why I bought my first BJ8 in 1985 was because my
mom gave me her California gulp valved '79 MGB when I was in high school,
and it was too slow.

It was a fun car to drive but was an absolute gutless wonder and coolant
always had a penchant for leaking onto the distributor.  A particular
favorite was the Stromberg carb had multiple avenues to leak fuel onto the
red hot catalyctic converter, so going on trips longer than 100 miles
usually resulted in more than a 50/50 chance of engine fire.  Luckily I
always carried a fire extinguisher and never let the engine fires get past
the damage phase.  I almost died in a head on after I realised the car was
not able to really pass another car doing 55 on a two lane country road.
Of course knowing what I know now, I would have removed the cat, put dual
SUs on it,  removed the gulp valve and air pump, and probably removed the
rubber bumpers too if I could.

The other option was buy an old BJ8 and throw lots of money at it over the
decades.  I chose the latter.

I've had an intermittent issue with my BJ8 O/D. It doesn't engage 
reliably, but does maybe 1 out of 10 attempts. I think I've ruled out 
electrical issues, as the solenoid activates reliably. I checked the 
hydraulic pressure, it's just under 400 PSI. I know that's low per the 
shop manual (470-490), but it has worked reliably for years and had the 
same pressure after an overhaul.

Q1: Any ideas why it has stopped engaging after years and thousands of 
miles?

Q2: If it's the pump, can these be changed out in situ?

TIA,
Bob

I had a problem where my OD would engage but would stop working after it
heated up. It turned out to be a problem with the accumulator piston
assembly not holding pressure. The piston, rings and housing can be removed
in situ using a small piston ring expander to grip against the inside walls
of the housing.

Thanks, John. Something to consider, but I replaced the accumulator 
cylinder, piston and spring with DWM 'uprated' parts when I overhauled 
it (only a few thousand miles ago). My hydraulic pressure has been 
consistent and steady--on- and off-idle--but on the low side. Do you 
know what your pressure was?

Anyone else running the DWM gear?

Bob, I don?t recall the exact pressure but it was good after I replaced the piston and housing. However, I got to thinking, can you hear the solenoid engage? Have you gone through the OD trouble shooting list?

I've had an intermittent issue with my BJ8 O/D. It doesn't engage reliably, but does maybe 1 out of 10 attempts. I think I've ruled out electrical issues, as the solenoid activates reliably. I checked the hydraulic pressure, it's just under 400 PSI. I know that's low per the shop manual (470-490), but it has worked reliably for years and had the same pressure after an overhaul.

 

Q1: Any ideas why it has stopped engaging after years and thousands of miles?

 

Q2: If it's the pump, can these be changed out in situ?

 Hey Bob,Doesn't sound like the pump - 400 psi is good, but this can be removed/resealed in situ.Your clue would be that it might engage at high roadspeed but not at low.
I had a solenoid that was 'weak' and behaved like yours.? It functioned, but resistance was high and pull force was low.It might throw but have marginal force to open the ball valve when under pressure.
Best way to isolate this is to check resistance or current of the solenoid.
Good Luck!------------------------------

I've had an intermittent issue with my BJ8 O/D. It doesn't engage 
reliably, but does maybe 1 out of 10 attempts. I think I've ruled out 
electrical issues, as the solenoid activates reliably. I checked the 
hydraulic pressure, it's just under 400 PSI. I know that's low per the 
shop manual (470-490), but it has worked reliably for years and had the 
same pressure after an overhaul.

Q1: Any ideas why it has stopped engaging after years and thousands of 
miles?

Q2: If it's the pump, can these be changed out in situ?

To positively determine if the problem lies with the operating system or the unit itself it's best to run it with the gearbox cover off and operate the checking lever.

Any steam or smoke?  A bunch of years ago the head gasket suddenly blew on
my car and it sounded like someone fired off a shot along with a lot of
water vapor.

Hello Richard

A few years back I had the same bang once in a BJ8 I owned. Gearbox out, new clutch plate in and gearbox back in. Fixed!

Just last weekend we had expensive metal grinding noises from the BN3?s gearbox. Managed to get home, but the gearbox will have to come out and be dismantled.

Old cars as so much fun!!!!

If you decide to remove the accumulator and it, per usual, declines to budge, then you?ll need a little help. I faced this issue and determined to do it on the cheap. Subsequently, I wrote something for our local mag. 

Here?s an extract that may help:-

Extracting the accumulator is one of those things that usually requires the use of a ?Special Tool?, which is unobtainable at any price. Or, one of one?s own invention. My accumulator wouldn?t come out and I felt that most people?s suggestions were way too complex. In the end I took a short length of broom handle and shaved it down until it would just squeeze into the accumulator housing. Then I cut it in two longitudinally. Finally, I shaved the last 2 or 3 inches quite considerably back on the two inside faces of the end that would protrude. Rather like an old-fashioned clothes peg. The idea being that squeezing those ends together would force the other ends apart. They would thus grab onto the bore and allow one to pull it out. The best way to achieve maximum squeeze is with a Jubilee Clip. Insert tapered end, tighten Jubilee Clip and pull. It works and it can all be made from scrap!?

 

 

Worked for me. Cost nothing. Took no time to make. Still have it and pray never to have to use it again!!

Best of luck, Simon

I had something quite similar recently. No ?BANG?, but some very nasty noises indeed. In my case, the carbon thrust bearing thingie was giving up. One of its clips was half on/half off. Luckily, MOWOG(?) in their wisdom allowed for the future invention of an endoscope. There is a suitable hole in the casing through which you can insert yr scope and inspect the bearing or whatever else may be in bits!!

At a guess, you could do it from underneath if the car was high enough. My car is a BT7 so removal of the tunnel cover is a bore but not the drama that I?m told it is in a BJ8 so I went in from above.

Salutations fellow Healeyphiles,

     I came to a stop sign on the steep uphill slope and wanted to enter a busy road with a lot of traffic going 40mph. A window of opportunity presented itself finally. The stick was in 1st, my foot on the depressed clutch pedal. I 

quickly move my right foot from. the brake, gunned the engine and quickly released the clutch. The car lurched forward the saluted me with a loud bang which I could feel through the floor and immediately became lost propulsion. No response to the stick in any gear. The initial lurch allowed me to ooze across the road and get most of the car out of traffic. The engine was running just fine. AAA to the rescue. I and my 65 BJ8 rode to Competition Motors in Portsmouth NH where they do extensive work on vintage cars of all makes. I await their diagnosis. What happened? What horrendous bill am I looking forward to? Thanks for your wisdom.

Sounds like a broken axle. 

Driveshaft universals would have been hive you a klunk noise for a long time before breaking.

After thinking carefully about your experience I'm inclined to think that there are 2 likely scenarios.
First is that the clutch disc failed and the center spline broke away. I had this happen on my Bugeye race car on the start line and the symptoms were exactly as you describe. I had just enough forward momentum to pull to the side to avoid being annihilated by the Mustang starting in behind me in the 2nd row. ?
The other likelihood, although fairly unlikely in a Big Healey, is that a halfshaft broke. This is usually evident by one rear wheel developing a little negative camber.
Do let us know what is found.

M

Hi Bob,

Please see the video linked below regarding how to set the OD engagement.
It is best to check as much of the external settings as possible before
proceeding to the internal ones.

Still too complicated. A small piston ring expander is much easier to use and quickly removes the accumulator without all the hassle of making something.

If you decide to remove the accumulator and it, per usual, declines to budge, then you?ll need a little help. I faced this issue and determined to do it on the cheap. Subsequently, I wrote something for our local mag. 

Here?s an extract that may help:-

Extracting the accumulator is one of those things that usually requires the use of a ?Special Tool?, which is unobtainable at any price. Or, one of one?s own invention. My accumulator wouldn?t come out and I felt that most people?s suggestions were way too complex. In the end I took a short length of broom handle and shaved it down until it would just squeeze into the accumulator housing. Then I cut it in two longitudinally. Finally, I shaved the last 2 or 3 inches quite considerably back on the two inside faces of the end that would protrude. Rather like an old-fashioned clothes peg. The idea being that squeezing those ends together would force the other ends apart. They would thus grab onto the bore and allow one to pull it out. The best way to achieve maximum squeeze is with a Jubilee Clip. Insert tapered end, tighten Jubilee Clip and pull. It works and it can all be made from scrap!?

 

 

Worked for me. Cost nothing. Took no time to make. Still have it and pray never to have to use it again!!

Best of luck, Simon

Hey Rich, I had a wire wheel on my my bj7 that spun the splines clean on
the axle on the car just sat there. But I don't remember similar noise to
what you described.

Anyway, let us know how you make out at Competition Motors. I'm also in
Portsmouth. I'd love to hear what your experience is like.  I currently
have a 58 bugeye that I've been getting serviced at foreign Motors on
Sagamore road in Rye since Brit Bits went away

Mine's a BN2 so a different gearbox. But I think both the side and centre shift boxes have a switch on the side that allows overdrive to be selected only in third or fourth gear. I had an intermittent problem with overdrive not pulling in, despite the servo working correctly, and adjusted correctly.? Turned out that if I moved the gear lever to the left, with overdrive engaged, it dropped out. Moving the lever to the right, it re- engaged. So if you haven't already, check that the switch on the gearbox makes reliably and doesn't depend on gear lever position. Mike '56 BN2.

Mine's a BN2 so a different gearbox. But I think both the side and centre shift boxes have a switch on the side that allows overdrive to be selected only in third or fourth gear. I had an intermittent problem with overdrive not pulling in, despite the servo working correctly, and adjusted correctly.? Turned out that if I moved the gear lever to the left, with overdrive engaged, it dropped out. Moving the lever to the right, it re- engaged. So if you haven't already, check that the switch on the gearbox makes reliably and doesn't depend on gear lever position. Mike '56 BN2.

Hi Richard -

The axles can build up cracks over time with alot of back and forth
application of loads.  Generally not an issue on big healeys because the
axles are short (less tortional stress) and the cars are not heavy.  I
broke an axle on my A90, easy to do!

That said if you are going up and down hills all the time, you can build up
stress fractures then it finally goes.

Thankfully a pretty easy fix.

Best,

Alan

 Thanks for you comments, Alan. They mechanics doing the repair said that it appeared as though the axle had sustained damage in the past. Perhaps your observation explains how this could happen.rich antal

Hello

Had it happen to a 100 BN1 I once owned, with a four-stud rear end some years back.

Have also seen the axle splines twist in a racing 3000.

Subject: [Healeys] GMRS radio for cross-country caravan trips
Message-ID: <em4ad97d04-0815-4260-8643-5560026965bc@gmail.com>

Healeyphiles:

A group of us were discussing cross-country driving trips and the 
subject of car-to-car communications arose... We have used CB radios in 
the past with mostly good results, and discussed whether the GMRS band 
offers sufficient advantages to make the switch. One thing that could be 
improved is receiving range, since CB is purely line-of-sight reception, 
whereas other bands can and do utilize 'repeaters' that rebroadcast 
relatively weak mobile signals from a base station. The GMRS band 
appears to offer a nice middle ground between the unregulated CB band 
and the full on amateur radio 'ham' bands.

(For context, planning the drives to next summer's Conclave for instance 
will have various of us driving between 500 - 2,200 miles each way, and 
experience tells us that reliable car-to-car radio is highly valuable.)

The question today is can we hear from folks who have made the switch 
from Citizens Band (CB) to General Mobile Radio Service (GMRS)?

As the long standing and self-appointed communications officer of the 
group, I have questions such as:

(1) Have you tried to use GMRS repeaters as you drive across country? 
What success and/or issues might you have had?
(2) Antenna type and placement - where and what type/style?
   - CB antennas on Healeys are commonly mounted to the rear bumper 
'spring bar' mount and still have much of the antenna above the body of 
the car
   - GMRS on the other hand operates in the ~460 MHz range. There are 
antennae on the market in similar lengths, have you used them? Comments?
(3) Since getting the GMRS license requires no test, I assume there are 
no stumbles there, but if so please do let us know. For reference I 
recently got another amateur radio         ("ham") license, and had no 
issues.
(4) Any recommendations for or against particular radios?

  Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if an anchor plate for the shoulder harness used in BJ7/8 cars, prior to '67 is available.
This is the type that is secured with 2 5/16" studs.
Thanks.
