Roger:
This reminds me of a similar situation that I had many years ago on my =
BJ8 =E2=80=93 a =E2=80=98thunk=E2=80=99 sound from the left side of the =
dash area (or so I thought) on certain bumps but not others. Drove me =
nuts trying to find it - literally for years. Finally found it when the =
car was torn down in conjunction with the total restoration.
There are 2 plates =E2=80=93 one on each side of the car =E2=80=93 =
called wing support brackets in the body manual (plate BC 2) - that tie =
the assembled wing / shroud flange to the top of the inner wheel arch. =
The manual is not very clear on this thing.
When dismantling this part of the body, we found the pair of bolt / nut =
assemblies totally missing and clear evidence that this was the source =
of the =E2=80=98thunk=E2=80=99. But it sure sounded like it was coming =
from the dash or bonnet.
Your problem just might be that these bolts are there but loose, which =
could conceivably cause a creak type of sound that seems to be from the =
dash area. Try pressing down on the right side fender / shroud close to =
the centre of the wheel cut out and maybe fore and aft a bit to see if =
you can produce a similar sound. The bad news is that these things are =
a real pain to get to on an assembled car =E2=80=93 they are almost =
impossible to see, let alone service as they are up high and behind the =
air hoses on both sides, and can=E2=80=99t be accessed from the wheel =
arch because of the inner fender position.
If all else fails, it=E2=80=99s worth a try. Let us know.

Subject: [Healeys] Dash Area Noise
67 BJ8=20
Am about fit to be tied !=20
Have been struggling with a new intermittant noise for about a month =
now.=20
Seems to eminate in the dash area above left side of glove box,=20
A creak rather than a clunk.=20
So what have I done.=20
Tightened everything in that area - starter mounts, clecked bell =
housing, checked brake booster mounts, jammed the air vents solid, =
removed center console and still no improvement.Tightened windshield =
side mounts doors checked.=20
Was convinced was something to do with the heater controls - spent most =
of one weekend removing and replacing it more securely (what a pia job =
!).=20
The noise is not tied to road or engine speed, but worse when going over =
uneven surface, even very slowly. Also thought was worse after car was =
warm so switched heater valve off.=20
Thought had breakthrough as got a lot better with top up that pointed to =
windshield mounts. But no after a few days back as before. Actually =
sounds like expansion type noise.=20
It even occasionally does one or 2 creaks when car stops.=20
In last 2 years had windshield replaced so wonder if could be a problem =
there ?=20
Cannot recreate the noise with all manner of pushing and pulling of dash =
or glovebox or airvents and windshield in that area.=20
Tried jacking the rear end up in case was chassis but no change,=20
What is maddening is that there are times when for aboiut 20 mins of =
driving it is gone....=20
Ideas please !=20
