Doug,
I didn't receive Rich's email. Would you check the headers and confirm that it
went to healeys@autox.team.net? Curious.
Here are few items; I've talked with Craig about some ...
1) The D washer that goes under the trunk floor for the gas tank straps. I
ended up making some on my lathe and mill. Craig would like to see me make some
out of stainless.
2) Replacing the rubber on the bronze bushings in the throttle linkage. I made
a mold that holds a bushing in place and Craig has poured the urethane.
3) The rubber sleeve that goes over the bonnet catch spring. The one that
British Car Specialists sells is too thin. I got started on a mold, but have
been trying to put my Healey back together.
4) The 5/8" rubber grommet (RFN0403?) and blanking plug. The one's I've gotten
as part of firewall grommet kits are 3/4" diameter. And they don't have the
same shape.
5) The brass nuts that are used to mount the headlamp bucket to the body.
6) And one that's beyond me to make - the plastic windshield washer reservoir
and lid.
