Price, I?m promoting the Austin Healey 2017 Concours Guidelines today! ?
See if this helps:
Windshield Washer Bottle
100
? Had no windshield washer as standard fitting though it was available as an
accessory on late BN1s and all BN2s.
100 Six, 3000
Location: through the BJ7, the windshield washer bottle is mounted into the
package tray inside the interior. These bottles and mountings are described in
the interior section.
On BJ8s, with the revision of the interior to incorporate the walnut fascia and
glove box, the bottle holding windshield washer liquid was moved to the engine
compartment. On these cars, the bottle is made of white plastic with a plastic
screw top.
Bottle:
Longbridge BN4's used a Trafalgar glass bottle (17H579) (see Photos ? Figure
III-8 a- d); a Tudor plastic bottle (37H9798) was introduced at Abingdon
sometime prior to BN4 C. 68960 (this would have been before BN4 production was
temporarily halted in spring1958). The Glass bottle (17H579) was also used on
early BN6s up through C. 1182 (built in May ?58, according to Clausager). The
BN4 Service Parts List shows another 1 1?2? neck diameter container (37H9763)
followed by a 2 3/16? diameter neck one (37H9729) introduced when BN4
production resumed at C. 68960 (in Sept. 1958). This same wide-mouth bottle
(37H9729) is also listed in the BN6 Service Parts List as being introduced at
BN6/1183, which would have been built well before BN4 C. 68960, so it is not
clear exactly what the differences between the first two plastic BN4 bottles
was, and when they were used.
25 On original BJ7s a metal squirrel cage has been found. On BJ8s, in 1964 and
also later, white plastic squirrel cages have been found.
A plastic bottle was used on non-BN4 six cylinder cars.
3000?s
On Phase I BJ8s the bottle is plain, with no logo/markings, and sits in
a metal support frame painted black. Cast into the bottom of the
plastic bottle is the location of the ?Tudor? company and other information.
On Phase II BJ8s there is a large trademark screened onto the side of
the bottle, consisting of the word "Tudor" reversed out in white on a
distinctive bright blue background. (The Tudor trademark on these bottles
definitely was not a separate decal.) The screened logo color may vary
a bit between cars as a result of aging. On Phase II cars, the metal frame is a
slightly different shape and is painted a shade of blue which was a
bit lighter than the Tudor trademark. There also was an evolution of bottle cap
and outlet shapes (see Figure III-7a-e for examples and detailed
descriptions).
The 2017 Concours Guidelines are an incredible series of documents detailing
how Big Healeys (and Sprites - separate document) were originally put together.
if you contact Mike Osipik (below) he will give you a couple options on
receiving a copy of the Guidelines package. He can download it through DropBox
(immediately available to you) or he can send you a CD. DropBox is very easy.
