Bob,
Many thanks, that`s very helpful. World Wide Auto Parts catalog says RM6075 up
to the year 1961. That may mean not to the end of BT7/BN7 Production. Their
catalog also says RM8002 starts with BJ7, which seems to be wrong.
What`s the difference between RM6075 and RM 8002? Is it just on RM6075 there
were slotted screws used and on RM 8002 poxidrive? I have both types in front
of me and that`s the only visible difference I can see.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] WG: rear shocks
Joesf,
Their catalog (http://nosimport.com/shoxcatalog.htm) shows RM6075 for the
roadsters and RM8002 for the convertibles. Based on the factory parts list, I
don't think that's correct:
AKD 8555 (3rd edition) parts list for BN6 gives 1B4459.
The AKD 1151 (4th edition) parts list for BN7, BT7 and BJ7 shows the front
shock changed during roadster production:
Original P/N: 1B4459
New P/N: AYH4040
Commencing: 17236 BN7 (Wire Wheels)
17129 BT7 (Wire Wheels)
18484 BT7 (Disc Wheels)
AKD 3523 parts list for BJ7 and BJ8 gives AYH4040.
So 1B4459 is RM6075 and AYH4040 is RM8002.
Off on a tangent: AKD 1151 shows BN7 production ended with car number 18888;
BT7 with 19853. BJ7 production started with 17551. The overlapping numbers
would imply that all three series were in production for a period of time, but
the "Original Austin-Healey" by Clausager states that the BN7 production ended
in March 1962, BT7 ended in June
1962 and BJ7 started in May 1962.
Cheers,
