Fellow Listers,
My Austin Healey Club President tried to join the list last night.
He owns a beautifully cared for BN7 and would like to know if we can fit a BJ8
Diaphragm Clutch to the car.
He has just had the Tranny rebuilt and the present clutch has been in the car
forf 14+ years and could do with replacement.
I believe it can be done.
Your thoughts please!!!.

Hi all
I am in Brisbane Australia and a member of the AHOC of Qld, this is my first
time on the Healey list and I was wondering if anyone can help with a query
about my 3000 Mk 1 BN7. I have just had the gearbox reconditioned and I have
heard from a mate that you can fit a BJ8 diaphragm clutch and pressure plate
to the BN7. Does anyone know if this is correct and if it is a worthwhile
upgrade? My wife drives our car regularly but finds the clutch and gear
change a bit heavy, would a BJ8 clutch improve this? Also do you need to fit
a different throw out bearing or are they all the same for the sixes?
Many thanks
Noel Standfast
