Subject: [Fot] FOT News. KCup 2017 & 2018 and British Sports Car Hall of Fame
FOT:
Last month, Kas, Peg, and I sat down and discussed future Kastner Cups.
Brilliant planning and executing is going on with Brian Garcia and Jason Ostrowski for Blackhawk Farms, so there wasn't much to discuss for the 2017 Kastner Cup. We did spend some time discussing trophies and awards. Peggy Kastner is, once again, sponsoring marque and special awards.
KCup 2018: Exciting news for 2018. Time, Venue, and Chairperson will be announced at Kastner Cup 2018. We are looking at the continuation of the Kastner Cup on a year by year basis. Kas is pleased that we have a Chairperson in place that will sustain and perhaps elevate the prominence of The Kastner Cup Series. It's a tribute to Kas and Peg....and all us.
BRITISH SPORTS CAR HALL OF FAME: The Class of 2017 has several prominent Triumph folks as Inductees. Kas Kastner, Bob Tullius, Mike Cook & Robert Johns are notable, with several others having past relationships with The Triumph Marque.
The Class of 2018 nominees include no less than 10 FOT Members and perhaps there will be more. Nominations are Open. The present emphasis is being placed on LIVING nominees that are now actively promoting the BRITISH CAR HOBBY. (Nice to recognize people when they are still living)
For further information on Inductees and more:
Britisportscarhall.org
Note: I am not sure any longer that my emails are posted to everyone on the list, so feel free to forward.

Listers,
Has anyone had problems with the replacement 'POWERTUNE' brand TR6 Oil
Pumps. In particular the casting strength?
I can't torque down the 3 bolts to the recommended lbs, as the alloy is so
soft it simply deforms
Many thanks

My experience with oil replacement pumps wasn't good. I bought one a few years ago and wasn't impressed with the quality. Also the oil pickup tube on the new one had different threads than the original. Just had a bad feeling about it.
I prefer using an original pump if it's within spes and clearances. Maybe you can find a NOS punp somewhere.
My 2 cent's worth.
Cheers, Bill

?
Amici-
VSCDA has opened registration for the 2017 Blackhawk Classic. This is the host event for the 2017 Kastner Cup. The link for online registration is:
http://www.cvent.com/events/vscda-blackhawk-vintage-classic-xxv/invitation-706dde3c6c304c0d9262e3e7bca7dd88.aspx http://www.cvent.com/events/vscda-blackhawk-vintage-classic-xxv/invitation-706dde3c6c304c0d9262e3e7bca7dd88.aspx
Please register as soon as you are able - this will be a big help with planning. Here's a few notes regarding registration:
- You will have to select a Group and Class during the process. All of our cars will either fall into Group 2 or Group 8. Either way, we'll all run together in an all Triumph group but you will need to make a selection. Information on the groups can be found here:
Group 8: https://vscda.org/racing/groups/group-8-historic-production-gtu-through-1972-1275-cc-and-over-engines/
Group 2: https://vscda.org/racing/groups/group-2-vintage-production-based-sports-cars/
- The preliminary schedule has not been posted yet but in general there will Friday practice with an optional enduro at the end of the day, Saturday qualifying and then the Kastner Cup at the end of the day, and then additional opportunities for racing on Sunday.
- Be sure that you select the Kastner Cup from the list of options
- VSCDA will be providing me with contact information for all of the Kastner Cup competitors. I'll reach out with an email containing a few questions. Please take a few moments to answer these questions as the information will be used in a Kastner Cup program / spotters guide that will be available at the event.
Thanks so much to everyone that is supporting the event. We can't wait to see you in June. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Looks like any Devins, Ambros, TR250K and Peyote would be group 3. Is that correct?

Correct. We'll all end up in the same place but you are correct that Group 3 would be the proper placeholders for specials.

Mark...
Economically Milwaukee's Mitchel International Airport is the most convenient. Chicago's O'Hare or Midway might be cheaper, BUT believe not having to deal with Chicago's mega-urban congestion is worth millions.
Blackhawk Farms Raceway is about a convenient hour and a half's drive from the Milwaukee airport, all but the last couple miles via 'interstate' roads.

Right! I would not dilly dally around booking accommodations. While there are a considerable number of hotel options in the same area as the host hotel, that Father's Day weekend always provided a hotel room shortage for VSCDA's Blackhawk Vintage Classic. I forget what the conflict is, but I think it is either an annual dog or horse show in the area.
There's also two or three hotels down in the South Beloit area. They are actually a bit closer to the track, but not as nice as the host hotel. The Best Western Legacy Inn & Suites is nice.
A third option is Rockford, Illinois (twenty-five minutes +/- south). Select a hotel close to the I-90 exits.

Possibly, but again in this case you just have to pick something to get through the registration process. We will all be running in our own group together so what you enter is somewhat irrelevant.

However we've had them run in group 2 with the Triumphs they are based on too. Could be more fun that way if group 2 isn't oversubscribed (it's a very popular group). The 250K could go group 3 as a sports racer or more likely group 8 which would be production cars that match the powertrain / era (like for the Devin / Ambro / Peyote in group 2).

Subject: [Fot] KCup host hotel room booked today
Hello Friends,
I booked a room at the host hotel today for the KCup event weekend. I'm not sure any others are available. I booked a King bed with queen fold-out couch and they had to switch me to a double queen for Saturday night. So, some finagling was needed. $159 per night.
If for some reason I don't make the trip, I'll pass the reservation on to the group.
Cheers,
Dave H.

BrianBill...
I am not sure what is happening with VSCDA car placement now, but our TR powered Tornado Thunder Bolt always ran 'with' Race Group 2, as did TR powered Ambros, Devins, the Peyote, etc.
I do not remember VSCDA ever listing the Thunder Bolt as Group 3. Perhaps some of those cars were designated Group 3 race cars, but raced with Race Group 2.
I know that there is currently a TR powered Kellison racing in VSCDA.

Correct. We'll all end up in the same place but you are correct that Group 3 would be the proper placeholders for specials.

Shame on me. I visited the VSCDA website and it all came back to me. VSCDA designates their Race Car Groups numerically, and it is pretty clear where most race cars fit (including the specials in Race Group 3). Then after they determine the entry for an event, the designate Race Groups using letters of the alphabet, and that is where 3D and 3X end up running with the cars from Race Car 8 Group in Race Group "C" or CHARLIE, and 3E, 3F, and 3G end up running with the cars from Race Car 2 Group in Race Group "E" or ECHO.
The preliminary schedule for VSCDA's Gingerman Raceway event is now up on their website. Visit the website, pull down the Gingerman preliminary schedule and it is pretty clear.
We'll see, but I will not be surprised if at the Blackhawk Vintage Classic event this year there will be a special Race Groups for TRIUMPHs, most likely called Race Group F or FOXTROT.

Terry,
I live very close to Chicago and have lived there my whole life.
There are several wonderful museums (Science, Art, And Natural History to
name a few),
There's several miles of walking or biking paths along the lakefront that
give a nice perspective of great city views and lakeside people watching.
You could go to the top of the Sears Tower (Willis tower) for some
breathtaking views of the entire city.
Nice public parks too.
Lots of great restaurants and shopping areas.
Give me an idea of what sort of stuff you guys might be into and I will be
happy to help you plan an agenda and an idea of what you could fit into any
particular timeline.
on any other day I would happy to take you on my own special world famous
"bright and dark" side tour...
But I already have plans...
I will most likely be drinking Champagne all day ; out of my newly won and
totally awesome Kastner Cup.

Subject: [Fot] Kastner Cup Run Group Detail
Folks.
If for some reason you missed the previous announcement...
Here is an important reiteration:
I understand that everyone wants to select their proper run group.
However, In the end, it really Doesn't Matter what group you select
For 2 reasons.
Reason 1:
ALL US TRIUMPH GUYS WILL HAVE OUR OWN RUN GROUP.
In other words.
ALL TRIUMPH POWERED CARS WILL BE GROUPED TOGETHER AND WILL RUN TOGETHER FOR
THE PRACTICE, QUALIFYING And RACE SESSIONS.
This is NOT limited to just the Kastner Cup.
Reason 2:
Brian and I will handle, all other classification details with VSCDA for
any other aspect of the weekend's activities. For example even if you enter
the additional enduro, In the end, Brian and I are going approve and
discuss classification for you with the chairman and registrar for every
possible session. Depending on how many entries we get, we may also Run
with some different cars on Sunday. But In any case we are very involved in
the planning concerning Race groups, schedule etc. and will handle all such
classification.
Brian has Done a masterful job negotiating with VSCDA for such an
arrangement.
As It was one of the main things that we wanted to have happen.(To have an
ECLUSIVE TRIUMPH RUN GROUP)
Just about everything is going well from a planning standpoint and we are
in regular discussions with our sanctioning body on such matters.
We are working very hard to make this the Best Kastner Cup Yet.
We have some awesome things planned for a fun and exciting racing and
social weekend.
This is not our first rodeo in terms of organizing race weekends
And I promise we have thought of everything.
(and still have lots of it to do)
Outside of the fact that you need to arrange your own accomodations
And Outside of the fact that we will have OUR OWN run group;
The key point I would like to drive home here,
Our request to all of you is to simply Show up ready to race and party and
leave the rest to Friendly Ghost Racing.
You won't be disappointed.

I'd like to nominate Bryan Brazelton for non-membership in our non-club.
Bryan has just bought the former Jack Wheeler TR4A that I used to own and
is going to be putting it back on the track pretty soon. May I have a
second?
Mark, Bryan's email is bbtr250 at gmail.com.

Amici...
Vintage Triumph Register President, Jack McGahey, has sent out an alert that numerous TRIUMPH folk are to be Charter Members of the British Sports Car Hall of Fame. These include Sir John Black, Mike Cook, Bob Johns, Kas Kastner, Bob Tullius, Graham Robson, Dick Langworth, and Giovanni Michelotti. This initial group of inductees will be joined by others including Sir Stirling Moss, and another personal favorite of mine, Peter Egan.
Kudos to one and all.

I get a daily email from a heavy equipment auction house specializing in
salvage. Today's email included a 2014 Norma M20FC Race Car
2014 Norma M20FC Race Car
Description
2014 Norma M20FC Race Car
General
. Production Year: 2014
. Manufacturer: Norma
. Model: M20FC
. VIN: 67388
. Performance Specifications: Honda 4 Cylinder Engine, Race Gas
Condition
This unit was damaged during transit on February 7, 2017 while in the
transport trailer. The chassis is a race built carbon chassis. The chassis
has hairline fractures and is not repairable for race purposes. Visually the
chassis looks normal, but the hairline fractures will weaken the chassis
substantially and make the race car unsafe for racing. The car can start and
run but is not operable in its condition. There are no keys with this car as
it has an electric ignition. Please refer to the attached photos and bid
accordingly.
Note: This unit is not a titled asset. The unit will be sold with a Salvage
Bill of Sale only (title not applicable). This unit is to be considered for
parts only.
There will be no removal assistance available. This unit cannot self load.
Buyer is responsible for all labor, equipment, logistics and associated fees
to remove the unit. Location requires at least a 24-hour notice prior to
removal

Subject: [Fot] Sealing Block Wedges
The new Payen gasket sets appear to come with neoprene pieces in place of the conventional wood wedges for use on the front sealing blocks, Spitfire and TR6 related. These neoprene pieces suck for lack of a better term. Years ago a local British shop commented that he didn't use the wood wedges, he used RTV in place of them. Has anybody here used RTV or "The Right Stuff" to fill in the voids in place of the wood wedges with success, or failure for that matter?
Thanks,
Marty

I was taught the RTV trick by an engine builder decades ago. Even later I found a front sealing block that didn?t even have the slot for the woody wedgies and was installed with a complete RTV seal.

Subject: [Fot] VR-1 On Sale
To my fellow FOT racers.
At my local AutoZone region in and around Albuquerque, New Mexico all
Valvoline VR-1 20W50, non-synthetic, is on sale for $1 per quart.
I don't know if a rebranding is going on or if AutoZone is going to drop
this product or whatever but as long as I can find quarts on the shelves at
my local stores it is $1 per quart.
It might be worth your while to see if this pricing holds true where you
live.
Good Hunting,
Walt Hollowell
Albuquerque, New Mexico

I heard from the air-cooled guys California banned it a few years ago. No suprise, we will likely see internal combustion free zones
soon enough.

References: <027c01d29e68$b74cb250$25e616f0$@vscda.org>
Happy St. Patrick's Day, Amici-
We are three months out from being on track for the 15th running of the Kastner Cup. Sounds like a lot when you say it out loud but we all know how quickly the time will go by. Registration has been open for a week or so now. VSCDA had a few hiccups early but has worked through them now. We have ten Triumphs confirmed so far. My list of racers that had said they were planning on running is much larger than that so I am very hopeful for an incredible turnout. Early registration helps all of us on this end with planning so please get yours in as early as you are able. The link for online registration is:
http://www.cvent.com/events/2017-vscda-blackhawk-vintage-classic-xxv/event-summary-706dde3c6c304c0d9262e3e7bca7dd88.aspx
Just so you know, after submitting your registration VSCDA does a manual confirmation of all information before you receive an email confirming that your registration has been processed. This can take several days so no need to worry if you don't see something right away. If you have any questions please let me know - I am regular contact with their event chair.
As previously mentioned here I am working on a Kastner Cup program/spotter's guide that will have background, facility, and scheduling information specific to the Kastner Cup to make it easier for entrants and guests to know when Triumph-specific activities both on track and off will be taking place that weekend. As such, I would like a picture of each entrant's car. Between shots I have taken at past events and internet searches and will be able to come up with many but surely not all. If you haven't previously sent me a picture of your car please do so when you register. This will be used for the program as well as added to an album on the Kastner Cup 2017 Facebook page:
https://www.facebook.com/2017-Kastner-Cup-412465015590721
Good news from VSCDA. Bob Woodman Tires has signed on to support the event at Blackhawk Farms! For those of us that attend this event yearly it is a blessing as it has been a number of years since there was an onsite tire vendor. The support for and excitement about a large Kastner Cup contingent was certainly part of the equation to making this happen. If you run Hoosiers or Toyos please consider buying your tires from Bob Woodman tires and have them delivered to the track. Supporting a sponsor in this way helps us all in the long run as it makes it more likely to get them to support other vintage race events. Links to their website and ordering pages can be found below.
Thanks for all of your support!
Friendly Ghost Racing

Subject: [Fot] Midwest contingent May race?
I'm not sure what race to choose for May (doing VIR Wild Hare in
April, awesome way to start the season). What are the other Midwest
FOT looking at? I wasn't impressed with SVRA's rendition of Road
America last year (that's my default May race). Tech was a pain,
turnout was low, weather was mediocre (I know SVRA doesn't control
THAT :) ). Who is doing Gingerman with VSCDA instead? Or other options?
Thanks, Tony Drews

Tony,
We used to really enjoy the Spring race at Road America and we are really trying to have a good relationship with SVRA. Although the registerers and admin staff at SVRA have been TERRIFIC to deal with, some other areas of the staff have been far less than satisfactory. Tony is alway nice to us when we see him. However, we have gotten the royal run around in another area by SVRA. I am not a happy member at this time. We renewed are SVRA membership for 1 more year and we are going to give SVRA RA event another run this year. If we do not have a great experience (weather excluded, because they do not control that), we will done with SVRA and the Spring event at RA until another organization starts running the event.

Subject: [Fot] Midwest contingent May race?
Last year we went to mid Ohio for the first time in nearly a decade, SVRA had hired some local tech guys. Probably SCCA. They did not understand vintage cars and there did not seem to be any mgmt guidance. After nearly 30 min of arguing and further dismantling of my car to try and satisfy him, I was about ready to load up and leave. Seriously. Just before I did so, some one showed up, did not introduce himself but said I could go. I didn't bother to ask for anyone to sign my logbook, just took my sticker and went back to the good old Triumph tree in the grass paddock. I miss those days with Dentinger, Wismer, Karen, Russ Moore and all the rest of the huge crowd of TRs that used to go.

I feel the same way Mike. Those were great times due entirely to who we kept
company with but there is no chance I'll ever attend another $VRA event.
Even back then, they were more interested in the "big money" cars rather
than the production sports car folks, yet I recall Triumphs filling the
entire track for the parade laps. Mid-Ohio with their Nazi-like "security"
and $VRA with its attentions to the moneyed few, seem to have shot
themselves in the foot. Triumph guys have found other locations and groups
more friendly to run with.

Tony, I?m in the same quandary, RA or Summit Point. RA is a little closer for me to haul to, but not by much. Based on what you said about the May RA weather ( I remember unloading many years ago for this event and there was snow on the ground!) I think the weather at Summit will be better. Plus we?ll see our East Coast FOT buddies at Summit! OK, I?ve made up my mind.
Vroom, vroom,

Oh great, you?ve furthered my aversion to Mid Ohio. I had one of the standard fascist security schmuck experiences years ago, went and talked to management who offered to have me arrested. Wasn?t interested in returning. Heard everything was better. I think there are are plenty of other tracks and other events. I know this was probably more of an SVRA issue than a Mid Ohio issue, but still... Besides, if I went there and everything wasn?t peachy I?d hate myself .

On the positive side...
When it comes to Blackhawk Farms,
It is the exact opposite.
We have had some truly epic parties there over the years.
Things have happened there that people should have been arrested for.
Yet, What happens at Blackhawk Stays At Blackhawk.
No one from the track ever plays cop.
Another reason to attend the Kastner Cup this year.
Spoiler alert....
Brian and I are Actually building a full scale tavern style bar For our
Triumph Paddock.
That's the way we roll.

Hello Jeff, My cousin and I are attending the April race at VIR along with several other WPTA Folks. Do you have any extra Crew Passes? Or can we pay for extra crew on your registration? I'd need 2.
Hope all is well.

Tony, I?m in the same quandary, RA or Summit Point. RA is a little closer for me to haul to, but not by much. Based on what you said about the May RA weather ( I remember unloading many years ago for this event and there was snow on the ground!) I think the weather at Summit will be better. Plus we?ll see our East Coast FOT buddies at Summit! OK, I?ve made up my mind.

Amici...
Starting in the mid-1980s, we used to run the SVRA's Mid-Ohio vintage event every summer. But we too pulled that plug at one point. For one thing the old Buck's watering hole had burned down, and the concrete block replacement just didn't cut it. But a bigger issue was the way the track began treating racers with early arrival access and in the competition paddock. Mid-Ohio is a fantastic track, especially for our cars, but Mid-Ohio's new management style had begun put a damper on things. The way I understand it is that the radical change occurred when Jim and Barbara Trueman's daughter took over the management. I suspect her CPAs had encouraged her to tighten things up, which she did in spades. When Jim Trueman was running things, and wife Barbara too for that matter, things were much different. Recall at one SVRA meet the temperature went through the roof, and set all kinds of records. Mid-Ohio towed trailers through the competition paddock passing out free bags of ice. Recall at the big 1992 Triumph featured event, Mid-Ohio was caught off guard when thousands of street Triumphs showed up, and they all stayed for the track party on Saturday night. It was only beans and hot dogs, but Mid-Ohio made sure that there was plenty for everyone. Not only that, but when the waiting line to get into the dinner tent strung out more then a block or so long, they drove up and down that line and passed out free cold beer. That's the way Jim and later Barbara ran things. After all, Jim Trueman was a successful business man (Red Roof Inns), and this was more his hobby than a necessary profit center. So when the daughter took over and decided it was time to tighten things up, it was shock to many race teams, and they said, "No thank you." The reaction to this attitude had serious impact on the business. I understand the straw that broke the camel's back was when CART in general, and Bobby Rahall in particular, were given trouble one week end. Bobby was always the favored son at Mid-Ohio, but they would not let him bring his Ferrari (street car) down to the competition paddock. The 'Fit hit the Shan'. "We're not coming back!" The daughter, whose name escapes me right now, got the message and contacted other tracks, like Road America, Lime Rock, etc., for advice. They had heard all the bad talk and rumors. They told her what she was doing wrong. She got the message, and changed her style. A year or so later VSCDA started running a Fall Finale event there every year. They had no serious trouble whatsoever. Mid-Ohio was glad to see us, and we were sure glad to be there.
I think Mike Jackson's take that his Tech problems is correct. They were a SVRA issue. They had not schooled their Tech Inspector's on what constitutes vintage tech. It was not a Mid-Ohio track issue.

I have a limited slip differential from an Infinity available. It is for

I used it in my race car for a couple of weekends, but decided to use the

Didn't really mean to start a SVRA bashing session. Summit Point
would be fun but is a bit far - I'm doing VIR in April (Wild Hare,
FANTASTIC race) which is a 2 day tow, Summit would be another 2 day
tow. Gingerman is looking like the contender at this point.
Now that I said I hadn't planned on this being an SVRA bashing
session, I'll mention specifically my issues with the last SVRA
event. I've race with them before and was fine with them - a bit
expensive but we're not in this because it's cheap. At Tech
inspection, they found a possibly serious issue with my car. I was
very grateful for that. But the also nitpicked the heck out of other
stuff, said my 2.1 year old belts were expired and I'd need to
replace them before running with them again (that cost me a couple of
hundred for "FIA" belts which I hate, but have the 5 year
SVRA-approved life), made me get my HANS device recertified ($140 for
nothing that improved my safety), made me plug up a water drain hole
in the floor of my car because it was a firewall fire issue (this is
very outer edge just behind front tire, would have to have a frickin'
bonfire going before it made it to THAT hole). It was an SCCA
inspection, not a Vintage inspection. Multiple guys in white
coveralls for good visual effect. He had to check with the chief on
whether they thought my fuel cell was OK (it was). To be fair, they
DID supply me with tape to cover the firewall holes and did stick
around a few extra minutes for round 2 of tech so I could actually
race (at 8 am the next morning).
One of my buddies at the track was going for "Era Correct"
certification (or whatever they called it) and they said his gauges
looked too "modern" and they would all have to be replaced to get
that rating. They are correctly sized gauges, nothing notably
"modern" looking about them but not white faced jaeger gauges. While
it didn't directly affect me, it angered me - why make someone spend
$500 or more on gauges that work the same and look slightly
different? And, the scheduling of the sessions made it clear that
our group was not what they wanted to feature. We were first or 2nd
out, racing was done very early in the day on Sunday.
They did do a "podium" for the top 3 in each race, I was going to
make that in one of my races before I broke a rear axle. That was
cool (the podium, not breaking the axle). What's interesting is the
tech guys who I didn't take a real shine to stuck around and were
part of the cheering section for guys who made the podium. The party
they had was fine, the head of SVRA (Tony P) wandered around and
seemed to be a decent fellow. So it was an odd mix of high hassle
factor upon arrival, weird scheduling but some extra touches that
were nice. I guess it proves the old "first impressions" saying.
Wow, I wrote a book I hadn't intended to.
Cheers, Tony Drews

The May racing event for me is the Jefferson 500 at Summit Point sanctioned
by the Vintage Racer Group. No surprises from track officials or tech
inspection from my experience. As for SVRA at Mid-Ohio, I would return if
it my schedule permitted. The track is awesome and close to home.
Jason, what should we expect from VSCDA at far as tech inspection for the
Blackhawk Farms and the Kastner Cup?

John- You will find VSCDA very easy to work with at tech. Dave Young has been their chief of Tech for a long time. Dave is a friendly guy that has a true passion for the sport and gets the Vintage spirit. He and his team are not there to make anyone's day difficult. Just want people to be safe and have fun. My only complaint ever with VSCDA tech is they were so friendly and chatty that I almost missed my first session because they were chatting about my Barracuda and how their sister had one just like it growing up etc. etc. We lost track of time talking cars. That's never a bad thing ;)

I know this was probably more of an SVRA issue than a Mid Ohio issue, but still... Besides, if I went there and everything wasn?t peachy I?d hate myself .

They did not understand vintage cars and there did not seem to be any mgmt guidance. After nearly 30 min of arguing and further dismantling of my car to try and satisfy him, I was about ready to load up and leave. Seriously. Just before I did so, some one showed up, did not introduce himself but said I could go. I didn't bother to ask for anyone to sign my logbook, just took my sticker and went back to the good old Triumph tree in the grass paddock. I miss those days with Dentinger, Wismer, Karen, Russ Moore and all the rest of the huge crowd of TRs that used to go.

Although the registerers and admin staff at SVRA have been TERRIFIC to deal with, some other areas of the staff have been far less than satisfactory. Tony is alway nice to us when we see him. However, we have gotten the royal run around in another area by SVRA. I am not a happy member at this time. We renewed are SVRA membership for 1 more year and we are going to give SVRA RA event another run this year. If we do not have a great experience (weather excluded, because they do not control that), we will done with SVRA and the Spring event at RA until another organization starts running the event.

Subject: RE: [Fot] TR4 Motor Mount Question
We at first tried the square ones from Moss and broke two sets of them, once going into Canada Corner at RA and the throttle got open wide. Not good. Then we got a set of round ones through Tony Drews from I think Cambridge in England. That was about 8 years ago, and no problems. Strongly recommend them. About $50 a set at that time but the postage is about $50 from England. Maybe you can tie up with someone who also needs some parts from England. You might try Steve Yott. I think he gets somewhat regular shipments in from England.

Hello All,What do you recommend for a race flywheel, Pressure Plate and Disk?My existing is a lightened stock flywheel with a diaphragm type (Porsche) pressure plate.
Also has anyone used the hydraulic throw out bearing devise? Is it worth it?

Most folks seem to do a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. Joe had a set of
steel ones similar to what's sold by Cambridge made a while back,
weighs the same and doesn't have the tendency to come loose from the
crank like the alloy ones do. Looks like this but for a TR4:
http://www.cambridgemotorsport.com/partsxx/cm6953
I use a diaphragm pressure plate like you describe with a heavy duty
clutch disk.
The annular hydraulic throwout bearing is cool, but if you have any
kind of failure you have to pull the tranny. For that reason I
converted from a very cool setup like that back to stock - so if the
slave cylinder went out I had half a chance of fixing it at the track.

My Tr3 had an aluminum flywheel when I got it (no idea what brand, or when it was new) and I sourced the diaphragm the clutch and PP through TS Imports.
So far, no problems and the clutch works like a charm!

The alloy flywheels can be upgraded by having or installing ARP hardened steel inserts into the flywheel attaching holes which alieviates the tendancy for the holes to elongate.

I use a diaphragm pressure plate like you describe with a heavy duty clutch disk.
The annular hydraulic throwout bearing is cool, but if you have any kind of failure you have to pull the tranny. For that reason I converted from a very cool setup like that back to stock - so if the slave cylinder went out I had half a chance of fixing it at the track.

The other way to address this at least with Spitfire and GT-6 applications
is to go with larger fasteners and use 8 instead of 4 and a pin. Hardened
flat washers under the heads also is a good idea as is blue lock-tite. I
would figure results would be similar in TR3-6 applications but I have never
tried it. Works very well on 8K rpm Spitfires

I use a diaphragm pressure plate like you describe with a heavy duty clutch
disk.
The annular hydraulic throwout bearing is cool, but if you have any kind of
failure you have to pull the tranny. For that reason I converted from a
very cool setup like that back to stock - so if the slave cylinder went out
I had half a chance of fixing it at the track.

Group wisdom on Starter Solenoids for our Triumph's ?
Who sells the better quality Lucas (?) units as my starting problem has pointed to the solenoid is not functioning properly. Would also be interested in learning about any alternative brand that would be better in the long run. In 20 years of running my Spit my 5th unit is on the fritz or is that the life span for these things?

Napa auto parts has a part number ST51.
We went with as an emergency repair to replace a broken Lucas at the track on a Sunday. They were the only ones in the town open that had anything. The counter person spent an hour researching what they had that would work. It works. Very reliable.
I think its actually for 60's era Ford trucks. The Tr4 does not seem to mind or be insulted by it any way.
Good Luck,
Paul

If you are having issue with the Lucas solenoids, why not substitute a
Ford solenoid (as originally fitted to early Mustangs and such)? I know
that you can even get the Ford units in "heavy duty" versions.

Are you guys not using the gear reduction starters? The built in solenoid in the starters is a very reliable part. If you?re using a solenoid to activate the solenoid, I think you have one too many.

I'm glad someone else responded with the Ford recommendation. That is exactly what I was thinking. I'd bet that just about every Ford from the 60s through the 70s had the same solenoid.

Subject: [Fot] TR4 frame and body needed.
Hello Friends,
Our friend Jon Gannaway's email address is currently not linked to the FoT. He has asked me to write to the group. He is looking for a TR4 frame and body. Most unfortunately, he wrecked his car at Laguna last weekend. He was not hurt. He impacted a concrete barrier exiting the Corkscrew. I was there, the car is badly bent.
Jon would like to find another car to transfer his drivetrain to. An ex-race car would be preferred.
Please write or call Jon if you know of a possibility at, itbjon at gmail.com, or 831-402-4080.
Thanks,
Dave H.

Unless?
We?ve had two cars that had starting problems that were cured by using a second solenoid. The actual problem with both was most likely due to a voltage loss between the battery, the ignition switch and the starter solenoid.
The Ford solenoid requires very low voltage (something like 2 volts) to engage, whereas the one on my (German) Opel 1900 and the one on the 1978 Datsun 280Z clearly required a lot more. I could short across the big terminals to get the car to start, so I knew the starter motor and the integrated solenoid were both good.

If you short across the big terminals you eliminate the integrated solenoid.
I have seen people bypass the integrated solenoid and use an external one, but my experience with the gear reduction starters is that they fail in the connection to the field coil, and rarely anywhere else.

Your?re right ? what I meant to say was that I shorted from the terminal with the incoming heavy lead to the small terminal that has the starter switch lead on it. That activates the solenoid rather than bypassing it, which likely simply spins the starter motor and doesn?t move the bendix.

Ah, you?re thinking that the integrated solenoid makes the starter gear engage. no, it?s just a high-current relay?functionally identical to the separate solenoid the old Luca unit uses. I can?t think of a purpose to have a second solenoid?don?t know why they call that particular relay a Solenoid . The bendix engages by drag on a helical actuator. Purely mechanical in every starter I?ve ever seen.

Oh, I see ? you?re referring to an ?inertia? starter motor.
The "integral? solenoid I?m referring to is the type that?s mounted to a pre-engaged starter motor, thus ?integrated? with the starter motor unit, ie: built-in. The ones I?ve disassembled had a piston inside that was moved by an electromagnet when the lead from the ignition switch provides 12V, and the piston simultaneously moves a linkage that shifts the bendix gear into position against the ring gear while closing the circuit on the two heavy contacts connecting the battery with the electric motor, causing it to spin.

Hey, looking for a set or 2 of racing tires. I've been using Hoosier Speedsters for quite a few years and wondering if there is something else available and as good
or better. The Speedsters are 205/60R-15 and would need to stay to the same size. I've used the Hoosier Vintage TD in the past and don't really want to go in that
direction.
Oh and this is for my TR6.

If you can still get Yokohama A048's, they come in that size. I
like them better than the Speedsters. I keep hearing they are going
out of production and I keep buying them from Tire Rack. I loved the
TD's back a number of years ago but they didn't love me back -
wouldn't last 2 weekends.

Sorry, but I disagree. I'm fairly intimate with that area, as I've had
trouble with it and I have several of those starters. The Denso design,
lightweight gear drive starters commonly sold as aftermarket replacements
for TR2-8 and Stag all have a rod on the base of the solenoid plunger, which
reaches through the housing and pushes the drive gear out before the
contacts make contact.
I couldn't find a good diagram just now, but you can see the pin here
https://goo.gl/EYZjWG
There is a bearing ball down there, because the gear turns but the solenoid
plunger does not. I discovered the hard way that if you leave out the ball
(must've fallen out at some point and got overlooked), the gear doesn't
extend far enough and may or may not engage with the ring gear. Started out
working about 99% of the time, but as the rod wore (from riding against the
gear), it got more and more unreliable until I had to investigate.
The Lucas starters don't work as Bill described either. The earlier ones
with the inertia (aka Bendix) drive don't have integral solenoids at all.
The later ones with the integral solenoid use the solenoid to engage the
gears. Here's a diagram from the TR6 workshop manual. That offset pin on
the left is actually used to adjust how far the gear extends (although later
starters dropped the adjustment feature). The round housing behind the
pinion is just a roller clutch (so the starter motor cannot be overdriven
when the engine starts), it doesn't move the gear.
That integral solenoid draws a healthy wallop of current at first, which was
my main reason for keeping a secondary solenoid (or relay if you prefer).
It's much better able to handle the 20 or 30 amps than the puny contacts in
the starter switch. Plus, I like having the original starter button under
the hood, so I can crank the motor from there. For many pre-computer Mopar
products, it also allows the use of a safety interlock switch that returns
to ground.

Yes, I was wrong, or more accurately?remembered incorrectly. The integral solenoid in the geared japanese starters most folks are using does indeed push the bendix part way into engagement and then the helical drag gear does the rest as the motor starts spinning. It is a high current relay though, and it should be all the relay necessary?you can operate these kind of starters with just a pushbutton. An additional relay might be desireable if you wanted the starter button to last a long time, but it?s just one more thing that could fail in a race car.
If you bypass the integral solenoid and power the starter with an external solenoid the start will still work, the helical drag gear will still pull the gear into engagement with the flywheel, but I suspect the engagement would do more damage to the gears than necessary. With the internal solenoid pushing the gear into partial engagement before the contactors close and the motor spins up there is less grinding. I?ve seen people use an external solenoid by jumpering the small starter lead to the power lead. The external solenoid then applies power to both the main and the integral solenoid. The starter motor still doesn?t get powered until the bendix is partly engaged.
The original Lucas starters have no such pre-engagement device. The bendix engages with the gear spinning, which is why the leading edge of the flywheel gear gets so chewed.

I just found out from Bob Woodman Tire the Hoosier Dealer that the Speedster
have a new compound and construction, They should be sticker, faster, and
last longer. I have a set being delivered to VIR to break end for the run at
The Kastner Cup. Is is possible for a tire to do all of the above. Any body
tried the new compound yet?

Yes, I had set for Sebring.... They were great.... Every bit as good as Yokahamas & Toyo R888... Stayed the same throughout each session & were as good for the last race as they were for the first session. Can't tell about how long they last.... Maybe after VIR more on that

Subject: [Fot] Lime Rock
Amici...
I received an email from Lime Rock this morning, which was a poster-type advert for their 2017 schedule. There's a picture of an early, lipstick red, TR3 leading a pack of vintage production based cars. Not sure who it is, but my guess would perhaps be old friend Dave Spiwak (?). Considering all of the photos they might have used, it is nice they chose vintage, and in particular our race group.
Having just spent the weekend watching SVRA/VARA race at Willow Springs International in California, I had to remember there's probably still two feet of snow at Lime Rock. But they are thinking about racing.

Subject: [Fot] Triumph TR pinion height
References: <189183621.5810668.1490735534266.ref@mail.yahoo.com>
Hi,
Absent the official tool for setting the pinion height, is there an actual number published any where?
Else, is there a tool that you can buy that can be adapted to set up TR diffs?
I set up a 3.70 last year and I might have set the pinion head too high... I'm actually not sure if that's the case, I threw in a user R&P - it might have been worn before. Not sure.
But I have a couple of new gears sets that I want to get right and I don't really feel like installing / measuring / removing / shimming ad nauseam to get the pattern perfect. I also don't want to muck up the new gears. ;-)

See if you can find and download the document "Six Tech" by Leonard
Runkenberger. Contains a chapter on rear end setup for TR6 including info
on pinion depth. I can email you the pdf otherwise.

There is usually some scribe marking on the head of the pinion (in addition
to the gear set number) that I was told indicates the + or - shimming from
the "master" pinion depth. I think someone from Greasy Hands Garage might
know for sure. I have also seen letter designations on the pinion head on
a 4:11 gear set.

That is my car, and its about to be passed by all those behind; first practice session, Lime rock historics last September... I'm sure they wondered why I was so slow! Somehow, I broke the two rear rocker studs, but got ARP replacements from Larry Eckler of Morgan Spares, pushrods, etc from a track vendor, and was back on the pavement the next day (I was in group 9, so there was time).
I had a blast, and cannot wait to do it again.
The snow is almost gone here in the Hudson Valley. (Huzzah!)
See you all at "The Cup".

Subject: [Fot] Victory Lane, April 2017
Amici...
For those of you who are subscribers to Victory Lane, the April 2017 issue arrive in my mail yesterday afternoon. Page 3 (first page inside facing the front cover) has VSCDA's advertisement for the Blackhawk Vintage Classic, which this year features the 15th running of the Kastner Cup Triumph Race. Those familiar with Blackhawk Farms Raceway will recognize its iconic front straight dairy farm silo in the background. The two TRs pictured are a Frog Blue early TR3 and a dark blue TR4 running side by side. The former is 'Ole Blue'. my old car. The latter is Bob Wismer's TR4. Both cars are scheduled to enter the 15th Kastner Cup, and are now owned and driven by Henry Frye and Paul Ricco, respectively. Brian Garcia did early artwork on this ad/poster, which originally was to feature three 'Beady Eye' TRs, but we had difficultly locating a 3/4 front photo of Don Brick's white TR4. But not to worry. Don's car is also scheduled to be entered in the event. It is currently owned and raced by Ken Suhre.
Bill Dentinger
PS FOT members who ran VARA's Duel in the Desert Spring Mountain event last month at Pahrump, Nevada will be very pleased to see great coverage of the event starting on page 24. I hope Ken Knight is a subscriber, because there's a fantastic two page wide picture of him chasing down a Bobsy Sports Racer on his way to a First Overall win. A good portion of the rest of the five page article deals with the incredible ducky wet weather experienced that weekend on Friday and Saturday. How extra-ordinary. How often does one experience fifteen foot high Rooster Tails spraying from the open wheel cars when one is 'Dueling in the Desert'. Extra-ordinary indeed.

Brian, he?s going to spend quite a bit on that setup, especially for a street car. Richard Good has a great triple manifold for using three Strombergs or three SU HS-6 carbs. I can send pictures of the triple SU setup and Bruce Stutzman has the triple Stromberg setup on his TR-6. If he?s after some eye candy under the hood, those will do it for way fewer dollars invested. Once he buys the Weber components then he also needs to buy assortments of jets and air correctors to tune them. Hopefully he realizes one doesn?t just bolt on Webers. To get reasonable benefit from them he also needs cam; compression; and some alteration to the distributor curve, not to mention headers and exhaust system. Then once he has all this extra horsepower paid for I do hope the rest of the drivetrain is up to the task. There?s also the new issue then of cooling due to the extra heat potential on the mods.
If he?s committed to this modification he can contact: http://www.piercemanifolds.com/
I hope he understands what is ahead. This will put serious hurt on the bankbook.

I agree with the others, though I have triple webers on my race car, it?s totally unnecessary for the street. On the race car, I can?t give it wide open throttle until over 4,000 rpm. They do look pretty though!
I have probably two dozen Strombergs of various configurations, if your friend goes that route.
Finally, on the triple webers, my stepped manifolds were made by Triumphtune. I got them from Scott Harper at Team Triumph - he may have a set, or my guess is you could try Canley Classics.

Interesting thread . Too bad about the negative comments about SVRA.
I'm based out of Seattle and attend races all over the country . I usually bring 2-4 cars to events .
I have found SVRA to be the most professional group of any of the Vintage organizations. They have a published rule book . Anytime I've had a problem , it's because " I" have not read the rules. Pretty simple . Rick ( head of tech) and his staff has always been supportive and they want cars on track . The small and mid bore grids are important to Svra.
Just my 2 cents ;)

Rick is a very nice guy. I like him a lot. Before the end of the weekend at Mid-Ohio he even came to my spot in the grass paddock and apologized for the miserable way I was treated at Tech. I guess he wasnt there at the time but word of the shouting contest got around.

Hi Tony...
Kudos to you!
In particular, one sentence in your succinct paragraph is a bell ringer. That is, " Anytime I've had a problem , it's because "I" have not read the rules." That sir, is a mouthful, and deserves re-reading by all of us.

I had a set of the stepped triumph tune manifolds but sold them recently. They are pretty pricey as I don't think they make them any more.
I still have the set of sequential Spanish made webers and linkage.

Brian, I have a set of original Triumphtune manifolds and three carbs I could sell him. Unfortunately I won't be home again until next weekend. I'd ask a Grand for the setup. Steve

Hey Triumph friends
I have an local racer who's son is building a GT6 (road car) and in search of a GT6 triple Weber intake, I suggested Richard Good and Kai at Wishbone, no luck.
Any sourcing suggestions I can pass on to him? I don't run one myself.
Thanks in advance

Sorry to hit the list with this off topic request, but is anyone on FOT able
to assist me in helping a friend?
He's found a 1952 MG-TD in "unrestored" and "almost but not quite running"
condition and is having a hard time determining what a fair price would be.
I have a few photos that I can forward - and we both realize that it is
really impossible to judge a car by photos. We are trying to get a decent
"ballpark" figure. From what I can find - prices for a well-restored car
can hit $25,000 or so. Unrestored cars are hard to find, and the numerous
replica versions available really make it difficult to put a finger on a
price.

Ira,
Not sure of the LBC stuff going on as I no longer live in that area, but if you like to look at cars, I suggest a trip to the Nethercutt Museum. http://www.nethercuttcollection.org/ It's free and amazing. Check them out online and if you can, make the appointment to take the guided tour, again, it's free. Also there is the Mullin Museum out in Oxnard. http://mullinautomotivemuseum.com/ It is totally French cars and there is an admission price, not sure what it is and there is also the Murphy Museum almost right next door. http://www.murphyautomuseum.org/
And then you can contact the Southern California Austin Healey club and see if there's anything going on there. http://www.austin-healey.org/
Good luck and have fun!

Well, the snide answer is: "If you want a 'modern' engine, buy a modern car." But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild:
* Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters
* 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality
* DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate)
* adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality.
* fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification
* instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop'
* Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem
I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday.

I should mention I've had Pertronix electronic 'points' in my BJ8 for years. Electronic/computer control and fuel injection--now, electronically controlled--are the two most significant improvements to the internal combustion engine.

Sleeve the oil channels, especially the one that goes across the block and the one that goes up to the cylinder head. To avoid oil leaking into the water ways.

Good list, Bob. When completed, my engine will have the Denis Welch DWR1 cam, bucket tappets, hollow push rods, DW 85mm pistons, DW lightened flywheel and a diaphragm style 9.5? Jaguar clutch, along with the DW high capacity oil pump I already had installed. The floor of the water jacket has also been epoxied to seal any possible leaks from the oil gallery.
My exhaust manifolds were previously Jet-Hot coated, but Jet-Hot has since been through bankruptcy and is not owned by another company, though still operating under that brand. With this rebuild, I am using a company called IA Coatings in Houston for ceramic coating of the exhaust and intake manifolds.
The transmission has been rebuilt with DW 1st, reverse and cluster gears, synchros, with a new hardened DW gear lever.
I also use modern K&N oil and air filters.

> Well, the snide answer is: "If you want a 'modern' engine, buy a modern car." But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild:
>
>
>
> * Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters
> * 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality
> * DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate)
> * adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality.
> * fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification
> * instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop'
> * Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem
>
> I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday.

Mark is home but very busy with other Club matters. I have talked with him today and he is leaving in one week for a 2 week period. Both he and Tracy are aware of the problems with the website, he told me it works for some and not for others and they are working on it.

It all depends what YOU want out of the exercise.
Interesting that no-one has mentioned handling and ride comfort.
I would do the usual mods to the engine, with the DW cam or similar (I used a
version of the race version of the BJ8 cam which went really well because it was
tailored to my requirements). High compression pistons work well with a
modern-fuel-compatible head and modern set up. Personally I used Hepolites
Lighten as much as poss and make sure it is all balanced and that whatever your
heating/cooling needs are, are taken care of and make sure that you avoid
excessive heat to the fuel lines. Carbs can be whatever you want. Personally I
like SUs but not everyone does.
I mention ride because when you have done all that you do to your engine and
transmission, it has to be usable when you drive it. I drove a couple of Healeys
recently both of which had more power than they could reasonably handle over the
sort of roads we were on. Look at your suspension carefully and make sure that
you get the level of firmness that YOU want. I used poly bushes, anti-roll bars
and tinkered with bits to get a ride that was good enough to impress the late
Alan Cameron storming up Prescott (which he ran at the time).

Does anyone know what sort of nuts are used on the two left/right side
forward ali cockpit trim rail screws behind the shut pillars on a BN4?
The others going around the rear have J shaped brackets but there
doesn't appear to be enough room to get them in behind the shroud at
the front. The parts listings don't seem to show anything.

I would do the usual mods to the engine, with the DW cam or similar (I used
a version of the race version of the BJ8 cam which went really well because
it was tailored to my requirements). High compression pistons work well with
a modern-fuel-compatible head and modern set up. Personally I used Hepolites
Lighten as much as poss and make sure it is all balanced and that whatever
your heating/cooling needs are, are taken care of and make sure that you
avoid excessive heat to the fuel lines. Carbs can be whatever you want.
Personally I like SUs but not everyone does.
I mention ride because when you have done all that you do to your engine and
transmission, it has to be usable when you drive it. I drove a couple of
Healeys recently both of which had more power than they could reasonably
handle over the sort of roads we were on. Look at your suspension carefully
and make sure that you get the level of firmness that YOU want. I used poly
bushes, anti-roll bars and tinkered with bits to get a ride that was good
enough to impress the late Alan Cameron storming up Prescott (which he ran
at the time).

Listers,
I'm in need of a BN1/2 distributor drive spindle. I have a good
distributor, so if anyone has an old busted up distributor that they'd be
willing to part with I'd be interested.
Also a friend has a set of four early, flat hub BN1 wire wheels for sale.
I may already have a buyer, but if this falls through. is anyone needing a
set?
I don't have a price yet but the condition is described as very good, and I
hope to have photos in a week.
Cheers,

I recall someone mentioning that Roger Moment developed a finish to apply to hardi board to make the finish like the original asbestos. I?ve looked through the archives and on John Simm?s site and can?t find the note. Does anyone know the finish he used or is there someone that can provide me with a proper finish?

In 2000 or so I found material like the orig stuff. It came from a local boiler supply house. Looked exactly like the orig. I merely cut it and covered it with a few coats of a clear coat, not sure of its composition right now. Turned out perfectly.

It is a two-part refinishing process. First part is two coats of
Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer 7780830. Then you apply a very light
coat of MinWax Polyurethane Clear Satin to seal the surface and make
it cleanable. Both are spray cans and each can contains enough for a
dozen cars :-) You don't want the urethane to look shiny. The
instructions are included with Moss's kit. The primer is a nice
off-white that Roger found to match the original color.

Instead of the portland cement waterproof wall board called Hardiebacker it is their thinner soffit material.

Look at:
http://healey6.com/replacement_parts.htm
It is called hardie board and can be found at Home Depot. Basically it is the waterproof cement impregnated backing used in showers in place of plasterboard.

I recall someone mentioning that Roger Moment developed a finish to apply to hardi board to make the finish like the original asbestos. I?ve looked through the archives and on John Simm?s site and can?t find the note. Does anyone know the finish he used or is there someone that can provide me with a proper finish?
Thank you in advance.

I just installed the Moss kit a couple of weeks ago. Here are a couple of
in-progress shots of what they look like finished as described. The kit
works very well.

It is a two-part refinishing process. First part is two coats of Rustoleum
Clean Metal Primer 7780830. Then you apply a very light coat of MinWax
Polyurethane Clear Satin to seal the surface and make it cleanable. Both
are spray cans and each can contains enough for a dozen cars :-) You don't
want the urethane to look shiny. The instructions are included with Moss's
kit. The primer is a nice off-white that Roger found to match the original
color.

Oh, and I would add that IMHO it is MUCH easier to buy the kit than try to
cut the cement board oneself. I know I could not have done nearly as
precise a job with a sabre saw and drill. Plus, my old ones were inaccurate
and poorly fabricated, and would have made really crappy patterns. The kit
is well worth the cost.

I'll second Bruce's comment. The Moss kit comes with the parts pre
cut so that they will fit against each other as they should. They
specially made thick washers would take effort to dublicate. If you
are going to make your own parts it will take time and probably a few
re-makes. Roger Moment's instructions come with it and are very
detailed (and of course based on a lot of experience). If you are
going to try to cut Hardi panels of any sort you will create a lot of
cement dust and dull blades, and possibly a saw motor worn out by the
abrasive dust. Getting inside corners and rectangular slots just
right can be challenging, too. Having cut a couple of hundred feet of
Hardi siding I speak from experience. Just saying.

You won't be fitting those into a standard Healey engine bay!
Are they special ones to keep your (LHD) feet warm?

It is beautifully made but it is a pity the pipes are not equally length
and not joined in pairs 6 into 3 and then into 1. Also the last 2 into 1
joint is not correct. The joining pipe of a smaller diameter than the other.

I wonder what the gas flow dynamics are like with a structure like that. I
wouldn't have thought that the flow was very free from a cursory glance. It's
those choking bends and the long flat(?) runs that worry me.
Patrick is as ever right about these things, 100/6s did use a single exhaust as
did works rally cars.

I was being sarcastic about the foot warmers.
Seriously Men.
101 exhaust systems theory.
You all passed.
Now - all you need to do is fit your perfect, identical length pipes inside your body/ chassis structure.
Equal lengths, 3 into 2, 2 into 1. Yep
Awesome theory. Right out of a Text book.
Humor me. This isn't my design.
So flush your books, and look again.
Focus on the pipe length from the block to the horizontal pipe.
Holy shit!!
That side pipe is so far away from my engine block.....
Then punch yourself in the face.
My guess? Extractors to fit like the 1967 RAC car.

Headers can play an important part of an engine build and the design of the exhaust system does impact the tune of a car, ?but? the use of the car, grocery getter, daily driver, trailer queen, track or high speed at full throttle dictates what parts you add and the intended benefit those parts may or may not give your build. The headers shown in previous posts will flow better than any stock system. Is it necessary for street cars, probably not. Does it produce 10% more horsepower, maybe. Is that what your after? Maybe the torque curve is more important?.. There is a long list of things to consider when contemplating a change from the stock setup.

We might be going slightly off track here?but I put three HD6s in place of the HS4s on my tricarb. Also a set of headers at the same time. Made a very appreciable difference.
Mind you, those original exhaust manifolds are pretty rough old things. Ever looked inside one?

Not only do they fit without cutting, they are 1-3/4" tubes, which means
they are 1-5/8" ID ----- exactly the same size as the exhaust ports.

Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive
Listers,
In a previous post, I related problems with my 66 BJ8 overdrive not
working/releasing properly.
The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working
correctly.
The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating
lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with
the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every
time and the two holes on the right side always line up.
However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to
neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as
indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed
and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug
removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on.
At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans
case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what
is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the
slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops
down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve
operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does
not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the
lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position.
No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's
own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the
solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no
matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid
and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the
actuating shaft/lever?
I am really frustrated with getting the overdrive to work properly. Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

Fred,
I don?t fully understand the issue. My experience with OD?s is that the lever could be misadjusted if it lines up with the hole. Counter intuitive I know, but parts wear. That said, when driving, to disengage the OD once the switch has been turned off one needs to quickly punch the gas pedal. That causes it to disengage.

They are not the prettiest, but they are of very simple construction and
easy to restore and repair and all or most parts are available. The
engine may be small but can be replaced by a 1275cc engine which is
easily tuned. They are as bumpy as a AH100 but if you do not mind that a
joy to drive. A perfect car for learning how to deal with a classic car.

Subject: [Healeys] OT: '71 Midget Mk III
It looks and sounds like a nice car at a decent price. As with any old car check for rust or bad rust repairs, rocker panels, floors, bottom of the little area between the front fender and the door. Most parts are cheap and readily available new and used. Check that the front suspension is tight, it can be relatively expensive to fix. Tranny, same thing, non synchro first often gets banged up and chipped, it should whine a little, not a lot.
The asking price used to be all the money in the world for a Midget, but they have gone up like everything else. They are a hoot to drive, like a little go kart. I don't know the situation, I don't know if I would want one for my young kids first and only car (let them learn their lessons in a Carolla or something) but as a weekend or fun car they are great.

Fred, it seems that you have tried everything and I can understand your frustrations. Without seeing the solenoid/lever connection, I would suggest that the lever may be too tight to the solenoid core and the lever then jams and cannot return due to the interference. The core has to move freely on the lever as it moves up and down. Unfortunately, the lever attachment point will not remain flat as it pivots at the OD. With the upper and lower ?washer? type widening this area can interfere with the lever if connected too tightly and thus jam ever so slightly.
Otherwise, there is something that is causing the solenoid core from dropping. Is the core bent or otherwise interfering with the internal solenoid body? Is your rubber boot adding additional pressure and holding the core in the body? When you loosen the solenoid body, does this ?realignment? allow the core to drop? Is the core straight? Try rolling it on a flat surface and see how it is. Is the core clean without oil or grease buildup?
My 2 cents worth Fred hope this helps.

Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive
Listers,
In a previous post, I related problems with my 66 BJ8 overdrive not working/releasing properly.
The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working correctly.
The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every time and the two holes on the right side always line up.
However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on.
At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position.
No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the actuating shaft/lever?
I am really frustrated with getting the overdrive to work properly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

The operating through shaft is supposed to have about 10 thou end float to stop binding at either end. Perhaps try increasing this a touch as this might be causing it to hang up ?

Subject: [Healeys] Rear Main Drain Pipe
I currently have the oil pan off my BJ8 ? to replace the gasket with one of those newer silicon style ones.
While scratching around saw that there was a large threaded hole on the rear main. Also one on the front main but smaller diameter.
My manual shows a drain pipe there.
Is it important ?
Do I need to fit one ?
Purpose ?
Read on another forum that removing it reduces leaks from the rear seal ?
What about the front threaded hole ? Manual doesn?t show anything ?
Thoughts please.

Thanks folks, I knew the List would come through for us.
One aspect I neglected to mention is that our son is long out of the nest and
just reaching that station in life where he can think about undertaking the care
and feeding of a LBC for fun. (For me it was the reverse: after 15 years
companionship with the BJ7 I married a Karmann-Ghia as my second.)

Kees,
Given the constraints of the Healey engine bay and footwell, I do not think
it is possible to achieve exact equal length pipes, then 6 pipes into 3,
and so forth as you describe. If it could have been done.... I would have
done it. As the pipes are done now, it is like threading a needle to get
both sets into the small opening between engine and chassis. The tubes are
1-3/4" so the inside diameter is 1-5/8" which is the same size as the
exhaust ports. If anyone has made a set of headers better than these, I
would love to see them. And yes the 2 into 1 wye is not every elegant but
that is not part of the headers. It was an afterthought and can be
discarded.

BCS is my go to supplier for hard to find parts and parts where
quality is an issue. In this case, Moss worked hard to come up with a
kit that Roger Moment would approve. The only place that BCS can get
that kit is from Moss. Moss is closer to me than is BCS and can
deliver in 24 - 36 hours while BCS takes a couple of days more.

Subject: [Healeys] Trans oil foaming
References: hMFGcDhdwDG7qhMFIcAAjy
Now heard back from Castrol/BP.
Their response is that they do not recommend the use of their non-detergent 30 oil in manual transmissions.
Castrol does not recommend our Non-Detergent 30 oil for manual transmission applications, and we believe the foaming was likely caused by some type of contamination, perhaps water in the transmission.
Unfortunately Castrol does not offer a manual transmission fluid product in Canada or the US.
This phenomenon is still a mystery to me as there certainly was no water in the transmission as had drained it 2x before noticing the foaming.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Trans oil foaming
Roger,
Your post is good timing for me. I just recently replaced my gearbox and installed Shell ND 30wt. After having a reoccurring drip, I thought it would be wise to check the oil this past weekend. I forgot to check the level before I cranked the engine, so I shut it down after it had run for about a minute. Much to my surprise, I noticed a lot of oil foaming on the dipstick. The oil level was just fine, midway between high and low. Always heard oil foaming was a problem to maintaining proper lubrication of the parts. In engines, I understand that foaming can be caused by over filling the crankcase. Hopefully, the level is high enough that the foam is above the rotating gears and bearings.
So, I too would be curious what the experts say. I too have the MT90 at hand, but was concerned that the drip would possibly be worse if I switched.

I recently had the OD on my BJ8 apart to replace some parts ? bearing/accumulator/gaskets/O rings etc.
For a first sort of sacrificial oil fill I decided to use a non detergent Castrol 30 wt oil. Date codes less than 18 months old. Plan was to switch to the expensive Redline MT90 after testing and after a few hundred miles. This 30 WT oil is often recommended by OD experts. I have built an electric variable speed rest rid to be able to test the transmission outside the car.
Overdrive worked fine and transmission sounded OK and ran it for about 2 hours to get the temp up (52C on OD case) and hunt for leaks.
So far so good.
Then after a few days of standing, and 2 minutes of running, I drained the oil (to fix a leak) and was amazed to see that the oil had foamed badly and there were big classic fish eye bubbles on the surface of the oil. Ambient was about 14C. I did note that the oil coming out of the transmission was somewhat foamier than that from the overdrive drain plug.
See enclosed pix.
After standing overnight the oil looked normal again.
What disturbs me is that unless I had drained the oil I would not have been aware of the foaming and put it into service ....
Have now replaced with the MT90 that shows no sign of foaming on the dip stick.
Wonder if others have any ideas about this weird phenomenon and is it a concern ?

Subject: [Healeys] Throttle Bushes
Cross-posting from BCF:
While getting ready to drop the rebuilt engine into my BJ8, I noticed
the 'throttle relay shaft'--yeah, the one under the scuttle, all but
impossible to get to with the engine installed--was bent. 'Crap,' I
thought, 'one more job to do before I can get the engine in.' It turns
out this was serendipitous--first time this word's been used on the
List?--because as I inspected the shaft, I noticed that one of the two
brackets was also bent, and further inspection revealed that the bush on
the driver's side was way sloppy (actually, pretty much gone). A quick
check of the Moss catalog showed 'N/A' for all the parts--I'm screwed, I
thought. Then, I remembered I'd bought a replacement set--supposedly
made of teflon, but they say 'nylon' on the bag--but had given up on
installing them because the instructions showed 'through BN7 and BT7'
(BJ7/8s need not apply). I called BCS to see what they had, and John,
their parts guy said they'd work on BJ8s. So, I did some digging and,
although the photo of the instructions and applications on Moss' web
page showed 'though BN7 and BT7,' if you download the instructions--5
pages!--they've been revised to show they work on the 'J' cars.
Anyway, if anyone has the engine out of one of the later 6-cyl cars I
recommend you check these brackets and bushings. They are bronze bonded
to rubber and, although my car has nearly 200K miles, I suspect the life
of these is determined as much/more in years as in miles, as the rubber
gets baked by engine heat. The rubber on my driver's side bush was
completely dry, caked and brittle, and could conceivably have resulted
in a stuck throttle. The instructions are intimidating--5 pages!--but,
except for having to work under the dash, which I hate, the job was
pretty straightforward. I managed to get the shaft reasonably straight,
and the used bracket I got from BCS was in good shape (though, in
hindsight, I probably could have straightened my bent one), so now my
Rube Goldberg-designed throttle works smooth and with no slop.
Thought I'd pass this along since I hadn't seen this issue discussed
before. I'd long since replaced the rubber/bronze bush on the shaft on
the engine, and should never have to worry about these again. Credit to
to Eric Gruden who designed these bushes, and to Moss for going the
extra mile to provide these, for a reasonable cost (about $13).

Good catch. They tend to get munged when folks install or remove their
engines, if not as stated heat and time.
I built a cable throttle set up to bypass the Rube Goldberg set up. I have
promised a wrote up to John Sims for quite some time to add to his

On the BJ8 parts list, a packing plate for the door striker is shown but not exactly. Should this packing plate be on the shut face side where it could help move the striker in and out for an adjustment or should the plate be in the fender well next to the threaded plate? Per my old parts I need to start bending the reproduction stuff. Sticking the packing plate against the shut face would help.Thanks,Ken Freese65 BJ8Note to Len- thanks for the picture, but that is not the part that is worn on my car.

Subject: [Healeys] codes
Everything is on the web, right? Why can't I find it? Anyway, can
someone point me to a website that lists all the British auto codes,
e.g., BN, BN, BJ........, (but not just Austin Healey)? I know they
relate to engine size and body style, but can't find the details. Are
they an Austin system, BMC system, other? Thanks.

That is correct, although it will not help much. The sleeve is the most
important item for that purpose and can be made up from scrap materials
easily enough, which also allows some experimenting.

See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin-Healey_100#Model_designators
They do not refer to any other UK cars. Each make has its own specific
codes, like in these modern days, but simpler.

It also helps to mount the bracket on rubber isolator blocks.

... and another on the gas pedal shaft--4 total--although that one
doesn't suffer as much abuse (that was the 'under the dash' part).
Can't speak to your car, Bruce; the instructions show these are suitable
for BN7s. Maybe prior to BJ8s they used something different (can't
imagine cork would hold up long at all). Mine were rubber/bronze
bushings in a metal cup; the nylon/teflon ones still go inside the metal
cup. Looking at Bruce's photo, you can see the ends of the cup
protruding from either side of the brackets, although I don't see any of
the white nylon bushes.
Every time I think I've done every possible job on a Healey it proves me
wrong.

ps. Of course, it's Eric GruNden, not Gruden. Guess I still had a

It is actually the cover nr. 72, the earlier shape instead of the later
rubber strip that sits between the clamp and the pump body. It is to
isolate the pump from the car body to reduce noise. I imagine they
replaced the cover to avoid overheating of the pump.
The sleeve nr. 70 is a thin rubber ring that is a seal between the pumps
coil housing and the Bakelite cover for the points mechanism. I cut the
rings from fat bicycle inner tires. When I first looked at the picture
(to) quickly I assumed it was the later rubber strip nr.70 as I did not
read the explanatory text below the picture.

That?s because the white nylon bushes got painted cadmium with the rest of the mounts. It clearly looked like Eric had spread the mounts to insert the bushings, then re-crimped them to hold them tightly in place.

Subject: [Healeys] another BJ8 door striker question
Ken,
The packing plate goes on the shut face side but they go between the aluminum door finisher and the shut face pillar I'm pretty sure. If I remember correctly I used a few choice expletives while getting the proper alignment and fit.
Hope this helps,

I can?t find the original layout but:
B stands for the engine size. A for the small engine in Sprites (less than 2000cc) and B for the engine in Healeys up to 3000 cc?s or so. Thus the AN, etc. for Sprites since they had a 900 or so cc engine.
N stands for two seater although it appeared on the BN4 which was a ?occasional? four seater (if you had stubby legs you could fit)
T for four seater
J for true convertible with the top permanently fastened
L is for left hand drive
If there is an ?O? it stands for equipped with overdrive but this was omitted on most cars as most had standard OD.
So, BN6 was a large engine two seater and the 6th model in the series. BJ8 was a large engine car with a permanent folding top and the 8th model in the series.
BJ9 is my Kia Sedona.

I have a new set of full race JE Pistons that I do not need. They are
84.5mm (3.327 Inches), the maximum allowable to remain under 3 liters.
Paid to have them custom made, with new pins (with spiro locks), thin rings,
tuff coat on skirt and thermal barrier coating on the crown. Also had the
crown undercut. Paid almost $1200 delivered. Will sell at discount and take
small loss. Have pictures and invoice for serious inquiry.
Also, have a Liege cam with bucket followers that is extra to my use (bucket
followers require longer push rods). Will sell for fair offer. Best cam
factory ever developed. Grind was used in Liege-Rome-Liege rally 1963,
then, so good, used at Sebring 1965.
Going to eBay next week - list first choice.
Contact off list please.
Thanks,

I think I used liquid silicone rubber when I repaired my throttle rod
assembly in 1999. I inserted the bronze bushings into the cups, filled the
cups with the silicone, then inserted the rod to ensure that the bushings
would be in alignment when the silicone cured. I have had no reason to
remove the repaired assembly since then but the silicone seems to be doing
fine so far.

I tried a combination of original latch plate and new striker plate without the packing plate and that worked very nicely so I left well enough alone. The welded original latch turned out well.If I want the new latch plate, I am sure I would need the packing plate also for a start.

Jerry only sold his last Healey three years ago; maybe the 'Healey regret' hasn't set in yet. Wonder if he'll be one of the people that come up to me at gas stations, hotels and restaurants and says: "I used to have one of those; wish I still had it..."
My BFF bought a 'rod a few years ago; all he did with it is take it to car shows and toodle around town. He got bored with it (and his wife wouldn't ride in it).

Well, my wife doesn't ride in the Healey, but I always figured it was her loss.

Jerry only sold his last Healey three years ago; maybe the 'Healey regret' hasn't set in yet. Wonder if he'll be one of the people that come up to me at gas stations, hotels and restaurants and says: "I used to have one of those; wish I still had it..."
My BFF bought a 'rod a few years ago; all he did with it is take it to car shows and toodle around town. He got bored with it (and his wife wouldn't ride in it).

While not knowing the background reasons for not installing the gauges, I would strongly recommend temporarily installing the oil pressure and water temp. Lay a cloth or suitable non-scratch material over the cowl in front of the windshield, tape done (or otherwise hold from sliding) and tape the gauges down onto it. Connect the gauges into the engine and radiator. Support the hood on a block of rubber or wood to allow the piping to exit the engine bay and you should be good to go. This is faster and less risk than a jury rigged plug letting go unexpectedly or worse yet, without knowing that it has let go.
Again, not knowing the reason for not installing the gauges; just my 2 cents worth.

If he can't find a suitable bolt or plug I think a laboratory grade rubber stopper would work if you 'screw' it in.

I installed a new stainless steel exhaust system in my BJ8 in 1986 and painted it before installation with Plasti-Kote Universal #203 Black engine paint. No need to repaint since then. I painted only the pipes and mufflers, not the exhaust manifold. I did not use a separate primer.
Recently I repainted the engine in my MG Midget with VHT gray engine primer and black topcoat because that was what is available now locally, but I have not yet reinstalled the engine so I can't comment on its durability. The can says it is good to 550 deg. F (288 C).

It is on a ?60s? Austin-Healey chassis, with a 2.3L Ford engine and automatic transmission. That combo sounds a lot less exciting than the promise of the Banshee in this picture:

Wayne, I'm surprised you didn't check with the BJ8 Registry first. The BMIHT certificates sometimes give the rear axle number, but there are apparently long strings of cars in their records for which no rear axle number was recorded and are therefore not on the certificate. And you are correct that some axle housings apparently have no serial number (mine doesn't).
The BJ8 Registry now has data, records, and ownership history for almost exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,853 of 17,712), including copies of certificates for 935 chassis numbers (plus BMIHT data for several thousand more for which no certificate is available). There are 1,247 rear axle numbers identified to the chassis number currently in the registry. Rear axle numbers for very early BJ8s were generally much higher than later ones and could vary widely in sequence with the chassis number (e.g., chassis 25317 had rear axle 23564, chassis 25507 had rear axle 28736; but chassis 26898 had rear axle 505). Later cars seem to have a more reliable pattern to the numbers.
What are the serial numbers you are interested in?

Since you mentioned Fiberfab, I have a complete Jamaican Fiberfab body including the glass that was mounted on a Healey chassis. It was in primer and driven s few times before the previous owner decided to sell off the AH chassis and mechanicals. If someone is really interested send me an email to discuss. They sold for about a $1000 In the late 60's. That's $6900 US today. Should be worth a few laughs!

Subject: [Healeys] Starter
Finally got my rebuilt engine in my BJ8 and started this weekend. At
first, it ran rough and backfired, but we spotted a secondary ignition
lead shorting out--which probably caused the backfiring--and the timing
was inexplicably set way retarded and once that was corrected it runs
like the proverbial Swiss watch. Based on my scientific
analysis--feeling the exhaust pulses at the tailpipe--this engine is
making big bangs so the compression should be excellent (I'm hoping for
160psi on all 6 or better). But--there's always a 'but'--my starter
seems to have become impotent as far as cranking the engine when (both
are) hot. AFAIK the starter is original and not rebuilt and has nearly
200K miles on it so a rebuild is likely in order but are our old Lucas
starters up to motivating a fresh engine with good compression? I
really don't want to go with a gear reduction starter, but if the old
Lucas whiffs what else can I do?
TIA,
Bob

The starter is powerful enough. A proper rebuild is all it needs. A good
clean of the commutator on a lathe and new brushes should bring back the
strength. Also new bearings will help.

No problem at all. I have done it many times on much older cars. Be
gentle and take very small and fine cuts with a very sharp tool at high
speed and undercut the insulation properly, i.e. not more than 0,5mm.

Hi Bob,
I had the exact same problem on my BJ8. When hot (like stopping for,gas....) it would not turn over at all. Cold it worked fine. Just needs a rebuild. Incidentally, I did have mine rebuilt locally and no difference, so whatever they did it obviously wasnt right. I got a rebuilt starter from one of the major Healey suppliers and problem fixed.

Subject: [Healeys] Throttle Springs
I carelessly overstretched my old throttle return springs--2 of them on
my BJ8--removing them before rebuild but thought 'No big deal; they're
only a couple bucks apiece.' So I bought new ones, installed them, and
the resistance in the gas pedal is so light I'm not sure the car (BJ8)
will be as driveable; i.e. the pedal 'touch' may be too sensitive.
Since I replaced seriously worn throttle shaft bushes with teflon/nylon,
the change may be due to that--I'm just used to pushing harder on a worn
out mechanism--or, possibly, the repo springs are weaker (they DO look a
little wimpier). I haven't driven the car yet--maybe I'll prefer a
lighter pedal--but has anyone else bought new springs and thought they
weren't as, er, springy as the originals?

The one thing that makes a world of difference to the cranking speed
is undercutting the insulation on the commutator. The Lucas
instructions forbid it big letters but hey, like those brake caliper
bolts which we must never undo, there is no good reason not to and
there are significant benefits to doing so.
Apparently the insulation between the segments is supposed to wear
down faster than the copper but in reality it doesn't and creates a
high resistance which equals slow or no cranking when hot.

Subject: [Healeys] Petroflex Fuel Line
The new flexible rubber/stainless wrap fuel line I recently purchased is
a bit shorter than the previous one, but still too long to route from
the hard line to the front carb without a large 'S turn.' Can these be
safely--and 'cleanly'--cut or otherwise shortened without damaging
them? I'm thinking: a) measure twice, b) wrap the point of the cut with
masking tape, c) cut (once) with air cutoff tool or ?. Anyone done this?
The old line, also Petroflex, while a bit less flexible than the new
one, was in good enough shape to keep using, but I figured overhaul time
was a good time to replace all rubber components. Also, the jet
diaphragms in my HD8s were likewise stiffer than new ones, and showed
some minute cracks, but were otherwise serviceable. Both components
have at least 20 years and 70-80K miles of service, on mostly
California--i.e. ethanol spiked--gas. The radiator hoses were like new
and could have been reused as well.

Subject: [Healeys] Hood grille insert- on top or underneath?
Was the chrome grille section of the hood air scoop on the six
cylinder cars originally fitted from underneath the hood metal or on
top of it, underneath the trim?
It fits better on top, but then the upper trim gets angled upwards
slightly which looks odd. Underneath it digs into the paint at the
bottom, as do the ends of the trim.
Completely inside- definitely not correct

Underneath- looks nice but you can see the paint getting damaged at the edges
http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-austin-healey-car-badge-31424979.html
On top- clears the paint but sits up and looks a bit odd

I hope not. It's what my engine builder used--30W--in my 'new' BJ8
engine for break-in; he swears by it. He says to keep it in for 500
miles. He also says while Valvoline 20W-50 is good, to add ZDDP

Bob,
Do you still have the big mousetrap spring on the gas pedal?
If that's true and the pedal is still too light, you could add a stretch coil spring between the upper part of the pedal and the steering column lower bracket. I did this for a while in the oughts when Moss was out of stock on the mousetrap springs.

Might do that, and/or add additional wimpy throttle springs on the

Subject: [Healeys] Are these holes original?
67 BJ8 (late), currently undergoing bodywork before paint.
There appears to be 2 drainage holes on the bottom corners of the trunk lid
- but as the Moss replacement patch panel doesn't have them I don't know if
the holes were there originally, or if they are there as a function of
previous bodywork.
Pardon the poor picture - hopefully you get the idea.
Thanks in advance,
Neil

I?d guess (only) that those four holes ? two at each corner, right? ? were for the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom corners. I?ve got one?.it?s a decent enough thing.
I?m surprised that one fits repair patch panels to a boot lid. Doesn?t one just fit a new one?

67 BJ8 (late), currently undergoing bodywork before paint.
There appears to be 2 drainage holes on the bottom corners of the trunk lid - but as the Moss replacement patch panel doesn't have them I don't know if the holes were there originally, or if they are there as a function of previous bodywork.
Pardon the poor picture - hopefully you get the idea.
Thanks in advance,
Neil

Or full the holes?
I’d guess (only) that those four holes – two at each corner, right? – were for the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom corners.

Hi all,
I have just checked my late 65 BJ8 which has no holes.
As far as I'm aware it is an original trunk lid and has never had a
replacement panel on the lid
more than I can say for the remainder of the car as all of the lower
sections of the panels
required replacement when I purchased it 30 years or so ago

I recently purchased a replacement Smiths Gauge Oil / Temp Gauge. The gauge was shipped loose in the box and the sensor wire was bent at 90 degrees during shipment. If I bend the wire back would it likely be reliable or should I return it to the vendor?

The only holes along the bottom edge of the trunk lip are for the rivits that attach shroud to the chassis lip. And the 3 buffers. If there was a drain hole it would drain into the trunk.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the replies. So, the consensus would be that the
holes were for a previously mounted luggage rack. Which makes sense,
because the car also has nuts & bolts going through the trunk hinges where
the pins would normally be.
Which would lead to a follow up question - does anyone know where I could
get just the hinge pins (or something equivalent) instead of paying Moss
$60 per for each hinge? Does anyone have a couple lying around? :-)
@Simon - here is the boot lid patch panel:
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28951#76
It's only a few inches wide, and is really just for repairing the rusty
bottom lip.
Thanks,
Neil

During a discussion today their was a question about the mkii 3000 and
phase two. Did only the phase 2 cars have front dual running lights
or when did the dual front plastic running light change happen on US spec
cars

The only holes along the bottom edge of the trunk lip are for the rivits that attach shroud to the chassis lip. And the 3 buffers. If there was a drain hole it would drain into the trunk.

I?d guess (only) that those four holes ? two at each corner, right? ? were for the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom corners. I?ve got one?.it?s a decent enough thing.
I?m surprised that one fits repair patch panels to a boot lid. Doesn?t one just fit a new one?

67 BJ8 (late), currently undergoing bodywork before paint.
There appears to be 2 drainage holes on the bottom corners of the trunk lid - but as the Moss replacement patch panel doesn't have them I don't know if the holes were there originally, or if they are there as a function of previous bodywork.
Pardon the poor picture - hopefully you get the idea.
Thanks in advance,

Phase 1 BJ8s had single lights under the headlamps with small clear glass lenses like BJ7s. The early Phase 2 cars had single lights under the headlamps with larger clear plastic lenses. This was true up to body number 76137. From body 76138 and up, they had dual lights under the headlamps with amber turn signals and clear parking lights. That is according to the BMC parts manual for BJ7/BJ8, but quite a few cars have been found with pre-body number 76138 dual lights and post-body number 76138 with single light configurations. Shrouds may have been changed from original, or maybe not; but it's hard to verify any BMC change that sticks hard and fast to the parts manual.

With all 3000s the twin lights were introduced in late March 1965, before
than it depended on what country the car was delivered to. With cars
delivered new to certain European countries (Sweden and German) some models
as early 3000 Mk 1s had dual beehive style sidelights or even smaller lights
than that.
In the main, with the BJ8 S2 came the wider single plastic lens front and
rear.

It is not unknown that Jensen, who built the AH100-3000 used what was at
hand at the moment and during the transition to new models parts of
older models were found the new models and v.v. You cannot go by the
chassis number around the change to another variant of the model.
It is the same in Jensens.
It is not uncommon in other makes either. Common sense to get rid of
stock which otherwise would get dumped.

As stated before, the light configuration change was based on body number,
not chassis number. BMIHT data records the change point body number at
76138 for the dual lights. The data also says that body number belonged to
both chassis 31259 (built 1 - 2 April 1965) and 31336 (built XX March 1965).

<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html>
* is a bit of a specialty.*As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which
are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in
1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite
<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html>
is
a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III
is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s
crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this
here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the
21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup,
this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports
car
<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html>
to
die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers)
over the course of half a century.
*?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years
and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a
significant amount of interest,?* said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist
at Classic
Car Auctions <http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3>.
So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and
?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding
will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago,
Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of
documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant
benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw
power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration,
the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage
queen
<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>.

www.classiccarauctions.co.uk
Offered for sale is a 3.0L 1967 Austin Healey 3000 MK 3 manual that has been with the current owner for the last 44 years. Coming with a partial history file, this ...
Fantastic looking car.

When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions<http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3>. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Don't know about the colour but I'd always thought - and my books confirm - that the last 3000 was a one-off in '68 and that its chassis number was 43026.
Fair enough...this one is '67 and 43025 so they're really saying that it was the last one off the regular production line. I'd hesitate to say last "mass-produced" BJ8!
Such trivia....didn't I see that the original email talked about HS6 carbs?

The notes that I have, source unknown, indicate that the last Healey was
39418. I see that 43025 is right hand drive. Is it possible that 39418 was
the last left hand drive Healey?

Why is it never easy? We need Steve Byers in here to officiate. From
Graham Robson's "The Big Healeys", 43025 was the last production car coming
off the production line on 12/21/67. Two more cars, 43000 and 43007 were
finished in January 1968. The last car, 43026 was built from scratch and
finished March 14, 1968. 43026 is detailed here and is white:
http://www.ahexp.com/registry/HBJ843026 Robson's book also contains a
picture of a BJ8 going down the line with a sign saying "The End" on it,
which I'm guessing is 43025. It appears to be a rather dark color (maybe
BRG) so perhaps the GBM is a repaint (and why would you change the color of
the last production car?)
Confusing Healeying,
Rick Neville

HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025 was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige.
Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025 wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> Sprite is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> back-to-basics sports car to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at <http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3> Classic Car Auctions. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html> garage queen. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Because the original question was "When did the dual lights begin"?
The definition of Phase 1 and Phase 2 does not depend on light configuration alone; but Phase 2 cars had different light configurations depending on body number -- or depending on the whims at the assembly factory.

Don't know about the colour but I'd always thought - and my books confirm - that the last 3000 was a one-off in '68 and that its chassis number was 43026.
Fair enough...this one is '67 and 43025 so they're really saying that it was the last one off the regular production line. I'd hesitate to say last "mass-produced" BJ8!
Such trivia....didn't I see that the original email talked about HS6 carbs?

I thought the plastic lenses indicated phase 2. the dual front lights was
just called late phase 2 or back in the day phase 2+. Do you know of any
official nomenclature change for the dual front plastic lens cars?

Rich, the parts manual says the placement of the license plate was below the
rear bumper up to body number 79899 for USA and Canadian cars (no chassis
recorded in the registry for that body, but body 79898 is chassis 34992).

My phase 1 has the single glass bee-hive lights, the cubby in the center
counsel, pan-hard rod across the rear axle and the earlier body height that
centers the wheels in the wheel wells. There is a difference in the
placement of the license plates on the bumpers.

My left hand driver is 40045, built in January, 1967. I owned another BJ8 lefty, # 39981 built. Oct. 30 ? Nov. 2, 1966 Oddly enough, it was not ?Dispatched? ?til 2/67. Built before my current BJ8, but dispatched after. I also find it interesting that I bought these cars almost 20 years apart (#39981 in Feb. 1977, #40045 in Nov. 1996) and the numbers are only 64 digits apart!
Trivia for my idle mind....

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

"Fresh from a restoration done a year ago". I guess that the term " restoration" is used pretty loosely here. Perhaps saying that it has been resprayed would have been more accurate but it would not get bidders as enthusiastic to bring it up even to the lowest estimate. I can see keeping the original seats to show that "patina" makes sense but the very least they could have done is install the piping on the aluminum door trim, the rubber bumpers on the front shroud for the bonnet and the rubber seal for the trunk actually installed on the trunk lid. At the same time they could have secured the spare tire at its proper location with the metal bar and leather belt holding it in place. I am quite amazed that they di install the fender flash the correct way.
Jean

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions<http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3>. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.
Source: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/t...on-116318.html<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/the-last-austin-healey-3000-mk-iii-ever-produced-heads-to-auction-116318.html>

Nope Len. I own 42845, and a good friend close by owns 43014 - both LHD. I
know where 43012 is also built and sold LHD, but has been converted to RHD
by the current owner.

Double dammit! And the reasons behind his departure stink. The show is
too difficult to produce? Amazing how they've managed to do it and do it
well all these years. I like that Edd tackles problems that most of us
have to deal with. My favorite was putting a new chassis under the Morgan.

So very sorry to read this. Edd
And his repairs are the focus of the show. What are they going to focus on
now? More Like Brewer yacking on screen?
This can't be good. My wife always enjoyed seeing how cars were fixed and
Edd is such an easy going guy.

Peter, and all,?? This is very interesting. I've personally seen a couple of early Hundreds with what was obviously a plain (non metallic) shade of light grayish blue.? In the meantime having been personally involved in the restoration of Blair Harber's? pre-production Hundred (AHX-14) and the first production car BN1L138031, I can attest to the fact that these two cars had what was immediately recognized as metallic Healey Ice Blue.? This tells me that both the non metallic and the normally recognizable metallic versions were produced from the beginning.?? We also know that Jensens (who painted the bodies) were using at least? Dockers and I.C.I. paints early on.? This fact alone would contribute to varying shades of colour.?? As a further point to confuse, my painter has been experimenting with the Healey Blue metallic shades, and recently showed me a sample spray out card, one side sprayed with a formula we've been happily using for a while now, but just the bare paint, the other half of the sample card oversprayed with a thin coating of clear.? It was amazing how much darker the cleared sample was to the eye.?? It was actually hard to imagine it was the same colour!It is for these many varying reasons that when judging a car in Concours, we first let the owner comment on the colour applied if he/she so chooses, and then when evaluating the colour itself, work on the premise of "a reasonable attempt at accuracy" has been displayed.--Rich Chrysler

Looking through the color chip library at ?www.AutocolorLibrary.com ??brought up this page:http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1955-ahmg-pg11.jpg? It shows THREE shades of Healey Blue in use as early as 1957.??? One shade ("H-1 Blue Iridescent") is for 1954, one ("Ice Blue Iridescent") is for later 100's to 1957 (the year of the chip card) and a solid, ie: non-metallic, shade ("Ice? Blue") for the earliest 1953-54 Healeys.? There is also Spruce Green, Carmine Red and Ivory.? I have this same R-M card, and the one shade of blue is definitely non-metallic.What is interesting is that these are not modern recreations of old historic colours, but practical chips meant to repaint cars that were then current, ordinary, on-the-road vehicles.? In other words, 'these shades had better be pretty darn close, or we pay to repaint the customer's car again'.Best regards,? --Peter?

Another case where the bean counters think they know more than the

I gave up on the other shows a long time ago. Almost all of them are guys dressed in outlandish garb with tattoos, hairdos, beards, swearing to their help that they are not working hard enough to complete a job with outlandish timelines. The shows are more about them than in the cars. One exception is the girls who have a repair show and they actually show techniques. My other pet peeve is the series Mighty Ships/Mighty Planes and the ilk which skips showing the ships and planes and how they are constructed but zero in on contrived ?problems?. If, for example, they show a B-52 I would rather see the construction process than ?Joe Blow? and his problems in getting a gauge or something to work taking 20 minutes to do it.

Bitchen rides is still about the design and the cars and the crew is not
screamed at or attacked, but encouraged and light hearted shop games. I'm
pretty tired of fake conflcts And timelines.
Eds China is a class act. Will miss him and most likely the show too
Its almost driving season round these parts. Today I finish 35 radiation
treatments for the return of my cancer. Looking forward to good news and
the return of my energy.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
Steve, We can't do any better than you managing the BJ8 Registry!!! Well done!! Cheers, Doug
Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

Congratulations Steve,
Keep up the good work I'm sure all we Bj8 owners appreciate it.
I certainly encourage all of the owners down under that I come across to
send you their Info
if they haven't already done so.
Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a
special order but there have
been lots of imports since and there are a reasonable number of cars here
now. Patrick might be able
to tell you how many as he was keeping a tally of all of the Healey's in
Australia at one stage.
Afraid I'm one of the guilty ones having stolen a couple from the US over
the years
Cheers

Kimo,
While I am no Concours Judge but having built a BJ8 to Concours standards a few years ago as well as having helped a friend bring his car to similar standards, I would say that this car, according to the few photos available from the auction house, would not go beyond the pre-judging phase. There are simply too many details that have been overlooked, things missing, some installed wrong etc. Here are a few examples, the grille surround is not painted where it meets with the back piece, it's left in chrome, the valve cover tags are installed with pop rivets, the rubber bumpers that are installed on the front shroud where it meets with the hood are all missing, the rubber moulding on th front shroud by the carbs is also missing and that is just at the front.

"Fresh from a restoration done a year ago". I guess that the term " restoration" is used pretty loosely here. Perhaps saying that it has been resprayed would have been more accurate but it would not get bidders as enthusiastic to bring it up even to the lowest estimate. I can see keeping the original seats to show that "patina" makes sense but the very least they could have done is install the piping on the aluminum door trim, the rubber bumpers on the front shroud for the bonnet and the rubber seal for the trunk actually installed on the trunk lid. At the same time they could have secured the spare tire at its proper location with the metal bar and leather belt holding it in place. I am quite amazed that they di install the fender flash the correct way.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions<http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3>. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Hello Graeme
Still keeping the tally. I can tell you that a total of 11 BJ8s were delivered new to Australia and of these one has gone to Japan and ten are still here. A quick look at my records indicate that there are 371 (+ or - some) in Australia now.

Congratulations Steve,
Keep up the good work I'm sure all we Bj8 owners appreciate it.
I certainly encourage all of the owners down under that I come across to send you their Info if they haven't already done so.
Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a special order but there have been lots of imports since and there are a reasonable number of cars here now. Patrick might be able to tell you how many as he was keeping a tally of all of the Healey's in Australia at one stage.
Afraid I'm one of the guilty ones having stolen a couple from the US over the years
Cheers

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

The notes that I have, source unknown, indicate that the last Healey was
39418. I see that 43025 is right hand drive. Is it possible that 39418 was
the last left hand drive Healey?

Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to
HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in
the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and
is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the
production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025
was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige.
Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025
wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and
dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they
would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is
available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.

Many thanks to all of you for the kind words. Building and maintaining the registry and using it for the benefit of the Healey community in general and of BJ8 owners in particular has been fun for me, and has given me plenty to do to keep me out of trouble in retirement. I have received immense satisfaction from the positive benefits and unique service the registry has been able to provide for specific owners over the last 19 years.
Although I enter the data and manage the registry, I certainly could never have been able to capture information on 50% of total production by myself. I have been very fortunate to acquire many e-mail friends around the world who believe in the goals of the registry and support it by feeding me information on BJ8s they come across and links to sales on the internet. There are far too many to mention by name, and my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of them, but some stand out and I would like to recognize them especially:
- Richard Vaughan, who has spent countless days of his own time researching for me in the BMIHT archives for the last 15 years or so in order to document the original build details of thousands of BJ8s that would otherwise have been unavailable on a mass basis (and free!).
- Niels Bengaard for scanning the internet daily for 7 years and sending me links, current and historical, and also for specific information about BJ8s in his part of Scandinavia.
- Mell Ward, for sharing her UK 3000 registry with me (BJ8 portion, and minus personal data, of course)
- Patrick Quinn for helping me to account for and keep up with all the BJ8s in Australia.
- Mark Donaldson for covering the territory in New Zealand.
- George and Nathan Bennett for sharing their personal historical databases and keeping me apprised of internet links.
- Iain Torrance for making sure that I am aware of BJ8 sales in the UK.

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

The notes that I have, source unknown, indicate that the last Healey was 39418. I see that 43025 is right hand drive. Is it possible that 39418 was the last left hand drive Healey?

Steve,
Good of you to try and set the record straight. I can't imagine an auction
buyer geting what he thinks is "the last one" would be too happy finding
out that it isn't. Like the various claims of 100Ms and LeMans cars, I
guess it's *caveat emptor.*
BTW, did you happen to notice this BJ8 with the "different" engine paint on
BaT: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-austin-healey-3000-bj8-mk-iii-2/
Best,
Rick

Rick obviously, the registry data can be beneficial to a potential buyer but possibly not so beneficial to a seller. It is not the intention to favor either one, but having seen a lot of BJ8s offered for sale with some really wild statements, whenever I can offer proof to refute those I will do so. Sometimes owners are happy to learn the truth about their car, and sometimes they don't want to hear it, but it is what it is.
I did see the bringatrailer ad for 38307. The color on the valve cover is not exactly "Healey engine green", but close enough to make one wonder whether it is original. It appears to have been painted long ago, but anything could have happened in the last 50 years, including a repaint.

Am I the only one that thinks this car being 'the last of ... whatever' adds no particular cachet? I'd rather have a well-preserved, low-mileage survivor--with rough but original paint--or a top-of-the-line concours resto, in the middle of the production pack. But, my cars are for driving, not bragging rights (well, except for the 'M').

Good point, Bob. So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed
to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense. What makes a car with
"matching numbers" more valuable than one with a replaced engine built to
the same specification? Cars at the beginning or end of production, why
are they more valuable? Cars owned by celebrities, who cares what famous
butt sat in the driver's seat? And of course, no offense, why is a factory
100M so much more valuable than one fitted with a LeMans kit (can it be the
hi-comp pistons?) As Steve (and the greatest football coach of all time)
say, it is what it is.

I agree 100%.
I just hit 90k miles on my BN7 with a red engine block, gold valve cover, red seats with dark brown and black interior, said to be one of the first 10 of BN7 out of the U.K.
Everything works, I drive it on the street and occasionally on a track and get great pleasure from it.
My 89 turbo Porsche 930 has gotten too valuable to drive in many instances and stays on my lift way too much; not so with my Healey !
Regards,
Richard C
BN 7 440
Am I the only one that thinks this car being 'the last of ... whatever' adds no particular cachet? I'd rather have a well-preserved, low-mileage survivor--with rough but original paint--or a top-of-the-line concours resto, in the middle of the production pack. But, my cars are for driving, not bragging rights (well, except for the 'M').

Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

Re: the bringatrailer ad for 38507. My BJ8, only a relatively few cars later, has flex down-pipes, two mufflers and two resonators across the back with the exhaust coming out on the right (as opposed to 'left', not 'wrong') side. Looking at Moss, it would appear that the installed system is for a BN4 - BJ7. I guess that this was a choice by the PO?
What is the switch on the dash next to the glove compartment for? I do not recall ever seeing a similar one. Standard option or something added by the PO?

I am of the opinion that all these items like matching numbers, first off the line, last one built etc. are nothing but auction lexicon to try to get more money for a car they have on consignment and therefore make more money for the sometimes 5 minutes they spend selling a particular vehicle.
There is little doubt, getting a catalogue ready for a sale is no small task, then getting the car at the site, the paperwork afterwards etc, it all cost something but since most well know auction house get 10% from the seller and the buyer, there is a lot of money at stake for them and the few key words they can add to attract a buyer, they'll do it to create a market.

Good point, Bob. So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense.

Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

While originality has a value, it is all in the eye of the beholder.
If a car belonged to, say, Steve McQueen and you have all the documentation
going back to when it was sold to him then it has provenance and provably so:
what you are prepared to pay for that is up to you. Previous ownership depends
on your taste, after all Hitler's Mercedes found a buyer. I wouldn't want it.
Consider race cars and rally Healeys which command probably the highest premiums
of all. Most cars were modified or rebuilt after each event and throughout the
period in which they were campaigned in line with changing technologies and in
some cases rules. As a result they have very few bits that were in place when
they rolled off the production line. Yes the parts were fitted by a BL
engineer/technician but everyone on this list knows what that can mean! That
doesn't prevent them from being "authentic". Such a car cannot be considered to
be "original" in that it doesn't have the same components with which it left the
factory.
A very interesting case concerns the Bentley widely known as "Old Number One" in
which the originality and "genuineness" of the car and its value were in dispute
and which ended up in a twelve-day trial. The judgement is here:
http://www.gomog.com/articles/no1judgement.html
As far as I am aware it hasn't been superceded in English Law. It's probably
also in several other places too. It's very interesting and well worth a read.

Ken,
I've always used just two threaded rods, placed diagonally. For one set,
I pinned a nut on one end of each rods. I've not run across the factory
tool, Churchill 18G37.

Subject: [Healeys] Phenolic spacers
I am reinstalling the H6 carbs after rebuilding them and I hope to wrap up
everything tomorrow. The Moss kit came with two phenolic spacers about 3/8"
thick that mount to the outer face of the carburetor bodies, assumedly
between the face and the air cleaners.
My car is a Le Mans and cold air box was mounted directly to the carbs
without any blocks. Using them would make it just that much more difficult
to get the cold air box and the hose and hose adaptor in place. It would
also result in the fuel bowl overflow tubes not reaching the grommeted
holes in the box.
What function do the blocks serve, are they normally found when CAB's are
mounted (as opposed to air cleaners) and if so what harm might be caused by
not using them?

Michael,
The the phenolic spacers are insulators. On other cars they would be
installed between the manifold and the heat shield and/or the heat
shield and the carbs.
But these match the CAB side of the carb body, not the manifold side?
Interesting.
Not much help, sorry.

Bob--
To clarify, the kit came with four phenolic blocks or spacers.
Two are square with scalloped sides and four holes and mount between the
carbs and the intake manifold face.
Two more are diamond shaped with two holes each to accept bolts to mount
either air cleaners or a CAB.
I assume they would provide some insulating value to minimize heat transfer
from the carb body to the filter or CAB but I really cannot see that this
would have any effect on the temperature of inlet air.

Absent a specific sequence, I always torque from the middle out,

ps. They're studs--unless someone has changed yours--so you're torquing

And, the CABs are a PITA to remove and attach WITHOUT any more spacers
(probably why so many original ones are missing). We got a repop for
our M, but I'm considering installing some other type of filter for
normal, 'daily' use.

Bob--
After further consideration--as well as impatience and laziness--I decided
to skip the spacers. As you say, fitting the CAB is difficult enough
without pushing everything further out under the shroud.
Just took car for a shakedown and all seems good. In the process of
removing, rebuilding and refitting the carbs I also managed to lose an
annoying rattle that would only appear under acceleration between 3000 and
3500 rpms. It has been there for about five years and no matter what I did
I could not find its source. Good riddance!

Absent a specific sequence, I always torque from the middle out, alternating
sides.

ps. They're studs--unless someone has changed yours--so you're torquing
nuts.

Is there a preferred sequence for tightening the bolts holding the rocker
shaft pedestals to the head?
Thanks in advance..

Per the shop manual: When reassembling the rocker gear, commence with the
No. 4 bracket and secure the oil feed pipe with the washers in position,
ensuring that the dowel on the banjo bolt locates in the rocker shaft.
I should have checked the manual first.

Subject: [Healeys] Phenolic spacers
Don't know about your particular kits, but I do know many of the carb kits they sell these days are packaged so they fit a wide variety of cars with the same or similar carbs. The last kit I got for some Zenith Stromberg 175CDs had enough "extra" parts, including diaphragms for 150CDs, to rebuild another set of carbs. Point being just because it is in the kit doesn't mean it is meant for your car.
I would use the gasket to make a good seal between carb and air cleaner and not worry about the insulating block.

Mike--
Nope--In my first post I wrote "My car is a Le Mans and the cold air box
was mounted directly to the carbs without any blocks."
However it might very well have been the CAB itself--in any caae all seems
good now.

The phenolic spacers are usually used to get the proper mounting distance
from the exhaust manifolds for various applications - they come in many
different sizes. If your car didn't have them, there's no need for them.
Interestingly, on later smog equipped cars, they put a air heater in that
spot to better vaporize the mixture.

Mine is pristine with no signatures to deface it and I would probably let it go for around $500 or more, heh, heh, heh.....
I have found several errors in that book related to BJ8s (what book doesn't have errors?) and discussed them with Gary Anderson. Unfortunately, there are no plans by the publisher to issue an update or errata sheet. I guess that makes the original edition more valuable.

Sounds like mine. I wonder how many later purchasers of the now out
of print Guide also have the four pages of single spaced Corrections
and Additions from 2001. Doesn't matter if you're not going to use
the book ;-)

Subject: [Healeys] Caliper Piston Dustcover
Hi, If anyone is still out there.
I got the caliper apart and cleaned (thanks all) and now I'm having trouble
getting the pistons in with the dust covers.
I can get the piston in or I can get the dust cover seated in its slot in
the cylender. I can't get both.
If I put the piston in first I can't get the cover into its slot. If I put
the cover in first I can't keep it in position and while installing the
piston.
I know I've done this back in the day and I don't remember having any
problem (or maybe I just said "Screw It!" and only fit the cover to the
piston).
Cheers,
Mike Tobin,
Townsend, Montana

I remember someone asking me if I waned it autographed for something like 5 or 10 bucks more when I was ordering my copy by phone.? Would that have added another $100 to the value?Mike MacLean

Subject: [Healeys] Caliper Piston Dustcover
Mike, I had the same issue on my TR250 (same brakes as a BJ8). Spent the better part of a Saturday trying to get them on, got a couple on, tore a couple, ordered another kit.
The new kit was much easier, though still a bit finicky, the rubber was slightly thinner and it made everything fit much better. I don't remember where I sourced either, but the first set was obviously not that well made.
Also if you are working with used parts make sure the grooves and everything are cleaned out very thoroughly.

Hi Mike,
Installing those dust covers can be very difficult however with patience and liberal application of brake grease it can be achieved.
First, as Greg mentioned it it imperative that both the grooves in the body are scrupulously clean. Scrape around with a dental pick to ensure that any rust is removed.
Now insert the piston seal fully into the lower groove being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Apply a little brake grease to it.
Next insert the lower lip of the dust seal into the upper groove again being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs.
Now lightly? press the closed end of the greased piston against the dust seal and use a small wire hook to lift the outer lip of the dust seal onto the outside of the piston.
Now it will be possible to wiggle the piston? into the bore through both seals. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. LIGHT THUMB PRESSURE SHOULD BE ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.
Finally use a dental pic to guide the outer lip of the dust seal into its groove in the piston.
Only 3 to go...

Is my memory playing me up or, having stripped and split the caliper, doesn?t one fit pistons while it?s still split? (Just the once, as one splits the calipers, say, every 50 years.)

I built one using your dad's design. Worked great for me. I disassembled
it after using it for my BJ7. Still have all the pieces if someone wants
it. I'm located in western New York State.
Thanks,
Elton

This may seem like a silly question...
How much does a bare frame weigh and how do you get it on and off the
stands? It has to weigh more after attaching suspension and other bits.
Very clever solution

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Oil Filter
I'm about to change the oil on a BJ8 equipped with a spin-on filter (probably from Moss). I can't read the filter part number while on the engine and would prefer to purchase a new one prior to removing the old. Would some kind BJ8 owner know what filter to use?
TIA

The frame and structure is a two-man lift. My step son rolled it out of my barn up to the ramp truck, we were able to roll it up the ramp with one person on each stand. We then disconnected it from the stands for transport.
We got to the shop and carried it off the truck and into the shop. We then inserted the black rotating pieces back into the stands.
You can have one guy in the back and one up front. Both lift to proper height, while one gets his into the stand. Then the other. Obviously easier with three people, but we did it without a hitch. It was all much more stable than even I expected. When working on the car, one person can rotate the car without fear of tipping. I would not use these stands with a bigger car, but for the Healey it was great. The two stands cost under $400, plus about another $70 in steel from McMaster-Carr. Plus I can sell one of the stands. It's for sale for say $90. Note that I modified the stands so that the rotating angle would be parallel to the ground. Drilled one additional hole to set the proper angle. It can be switched back and forth in 10 minutes.
And yes I installed all brake and fuel lines, all electrics, and other small items while still on the stands. I took the car off the stands before I installed the suspension.

Actually I'm forgetting. I was able to get most of the suspension on also while still on the stands. Then I took it off and sat it on wire spool stands that were being thrown away where I work.
Back on wire spool stands.

Good Morning,
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, my family and i came down
here to Marseille on a short trip.Unfortunately we were mugged at the park
of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and mobile phone were
stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us.
I made contact with my bank but it would take me 5 working days to
access funds in my account,the bad news is our flight will be leaving in
less than 8-hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills
and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.
I'll need your help financially and i promise to make the refund once we
get back home,Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to
keep checking your email because it's the only way i can reach you.
I anticipate your response

Dear Marion,
I'm a little short of funds right now, but if you look up my friend Alain
Charnier in Marseille, he's in a tight spot right now and may be able to
help. He needs some welding done on the rocker panels of his Lincoln
Continental Mk III for which he'll gladly pay handsomely and a guy with
your skills should be able to do the job. Oh, a couple of things. Don't
ask any questions and look out for a guy named "Popeye" when you get back.
Rick

Well guys, It?s been a long time, and now I?ve got to let my Healey hobby go. I?ve been on this list since the 90s and with life getting in the way I just haven?t been able to do my car justice.
What I have is a 1958 BN6 and a whole lot of extras. Car was restored the late 70s and some bits done since then. Front was hit and slight damage to headlight assembly (have new bucket and rings)
Car and some extras seen here: http://ewilkins <http://ewilkins/>.com/wilko/
Currently has stock engine (not running).
New Zealand Minilites (bolt on wheels)
full set of factory steel wheels and hubcaps
bolt on hubs for disk brakes
brackets and other bit for disk brake conversion (front)
Rear brake conversion brackets for rear.
Overdrive transmission (working fine)
3000 engine rebuilt long block .030 over
Schneider 2860 cam
Bolton lightened flywheel
Smitty kit on Toyota transmission w/prop shaft
tri carb manifold 1 3/4
Two different triple Weber manifolds
three weber DCOE 40 carbs with rebuild kits
tri carb exhaust manifold
dual carb exhaust manifolds
Putzke Bilstein kit
New wiring harness in box
rally bumperettes
7? Lucas flamethrowers
Hardtop w/new perspex and rubber ready to rebuild
tons of other extras
Not sure how much to ask, but some reasonable offer will work.Thanks for looking, and helping find a good home.

Hi All
Would anyone be able to recognise the car and or the track where this
photo was taken. Somewhere in NE USA I think.
I need this info to placate FIA re my Lotus 18.
Any info or ideas welcome

I don?t know how much it weighs but I used my engine hoist to get it on.
Maybe someday I can use the hoist to get it off?

This may seem like a silly question...
How much does a bare frame weigh and how do you get it on and off the stands? It has to weigh more after attaching suspension and other bits.
Very clever solution

John,
Here's a listing of some of the Lotus18 entries in the US:
http://www.racingsportscars.com/type/Lotus/18.html If you go to the
section listed "full archives" there is more info. I couldn't find any
listing of a car wearing "11" but if you had a driver's name or chassis
number, you might get some more info.
Best,
Rick Neville

John,
are you sure that that is an FJ car and not F1? If the circuit is in the NE I
was wondering whether the circuit was Mosport, the curve looks a bit like Moss.
Ok it's not the US but it sort of looks like it. What was the source of the photo?

Hello Rick,
Time does march on. When I began the research in preparation for the restoration of my 1960 BT7 around 1999-2000, the work on your car was one of my resources! Sorry to see you moving on, but best wishes and thanks for the help!!

Interesting, although I'd say a similar car today would actually sell for
around $45k. I did the same comparison with the bugeye's price of $1795
and in today's money it would be $15k. I don't know what car you could buy
for that today and would guess a modern day bugeye would be around
$23k-$25k. This just probably shows that the cost of cars as a percentage
of income has increased and we pay more up front for increased safety,
mileage, lower emissions and increased longevity.

Seeing as the Healey was about the price of Vette, I guess anew Healey
would cost in $80K plus range today.
I paid $500.00 in 1975 for my car $2260.00 in today's money. I worked a
lot of hours to pay for that car. Of course I have put around $30K into it
restoring it over the last 42 years

In 1968 I paid $800 dollars for a 1962 tricarb. After painting a couple of times, rebuilding the engine and redoing the interior (in vinyl) I sold it in 1973 for $3,000. It also had a hard top.

Ira,
Not sure of the LBC stuff going on as I no longer live in that area, but if you like to look at cars, I suggest a trip to the Nethercutt Museum. http://www.nethercuttcollection.org/ It's free and amazing. Check them out online and if you can, make the appointment to take the guided tour, again, it's free. Also there is the Mullin Museum out in Oxnard. http://mullinautomotivemuseum.com/ It is totally French cars and there is an admission price, not sure what it is and there is also the Murphy Museum almost right next door. http://www.murphyautomuseum.org/
And then you can contact the Southern California Austin Healey club and see if there's anything going on there. http://www.austin-healey.org/
Good luck and have fun!

Well, the snide answer is: "If you want a 'modern' engine, buy a modern car." But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild:
* Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters
* 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality
* DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate)
* adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality.
* fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification
* instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop'
* Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem
I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday.

Hi All,
Is there a list of commonly done rebuild mods for the 3000 engine/transmission to modernize it?

I should mention I've had Pertronix electronic 'points' in my BJ8 for years. Electronic/computer control and fuel injection--now, electronically controlled--are the two most significant improvements to the internal combustion engine.

Sleeve the oil channels, especially the one that goes across the block and the one that goes up to the cylinder head. To avoid oil leaking into the water ways.

Good list, Bob. When completed, my engine will have the Denis Welch DWR1 cam, bucket tappets, hollow push rods, DW 85mm pistons, DW lightened flywheel and a diaphragm style 9.5? Jaguar clutch, along with the DW high capacity oil pump I already had installed. The floor of the water jacket has also been epoxied to seal any possible leaks from the oil gallery.
My exhaust manifolds were previously Jet-Hot coated, but Jet-Hot has since been through bankruptcy and is not owned by another company, though still operating under that brand. With this rebuild, I am using a company called IA Coatings in Houston for ceramic coating of the exhaust and intake manifolds.
The transmission has been rebuilt with DW 1st, reverse and cluster gears, synchros, with a new hardened DW gear lever.
I also use modern K&N oil and air filters.

Well, the snide answer is: "If you want a 'modern' engine, buy a modern car." But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild:
* Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters
* 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality

* adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality.
* fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification

> Well, the snide answer is: "If you want a 'modern' engine, buy a modern car." But, there are things you can do to a Healey engine to (marginally) improve performance and reliability without changing the essence of the car. Here's some of the things I did for a recent rebuild:
>
>
>
> * Denis Welch DWR1 cam. This cam is 'slightly better' than a stock BJ8 cam, and is gun-drilled to provide extra oil to the lobes and lifters
> * 84.5mm Omega forged pistons. Way overkill for a street engine, but I couldn't find 'out-of-the-box' pistons that were of sufficient quality with 'modern' features like the 'latest ring design'--the top ring is about 1/16" thick!--from any of the usual suspects. My builder was impressed with both the cam and the pistons; the pistons were not much more than half the weight of the older, more-or-less stock pistons, and the cam was of extraordinary quality
> * DWR high capacity oil pump with upgraded shaft (DWR sells this shaft and thrust washer for about half of the 'usual suspects,' esp. with the favorable exchange rate)
> * adjustable vernier timing set. My builder said it took almost 4deg to dial in the cam perfectly. Timing set is of excellent quality.
> * fully engineered PCV 'system.' Still just sucks gasses from the crankcase, but my builder designed piping to equalize flow to both carbs, and I can run K&N filters without modification
> * instead of cork and fiber ('cigarette') gaskets, my builder used a modern sealant ('Right Stuff') to seal the rear main, engine plate and pan. Several hours on the test stand and 'hasn't leaked a drop'
> * Jet-Hot coated exhaust manifold. I believe ethanol-blend fuel was causing some stumbling on hot starts and I'm hoping this solves the problem
>
> I have some video of the engine running on the test stand (LARGE files), and my builder wrote a detailed list of all the work he did to make a strong and reliable street engine. If anybody's interested I'll scan the list and post URLs to the video, but I can't do it until I get home Saturday.

Mark is home but very busy with other Club matters. I have talked with him today and he is leaving in one week for a 2 week period. Both he and Tracy are aware of the problems with the website, he told me it works for some and not for others and they are working on it.

It all depends what YOU want out of the exercise.
Interesting that no-one has mentioned handling and ride comfort.
I would do the usual mods to the engine, with the DW cam or similar (I used a
version of the race version of the BJ8 cam which went really well because it was
tailored to my requirements). High compression pistons work well with a
modern-fuel-compatible head and modern set up. Personally I used Hepolites
Lighten as much as poss and make sure it is all balanced and that whatever your
heating/cooling needs are, are taken care of and make sure that you avoid
excessive heat to the fuel lines. Carbs can be whatever you want. Personally I
like SUs but not everyone does.
I mention ride because when you have done all that you do to your engine and
transmission, it has to be usable when you drive it. I drove a couple of Healeys
recently both of which had more power than they could reasonably handle over the
sort of roads we were on. Look at your suspension carefully and make sure that
you get the level of firmness that YOU want. I used poly bushes, anti-roll bars
and tinkered with bits to get a ride that was good enough to impress the late
Alan Cameron storming up Prescott (which he ran at the time).

handle over the sort of roads we were on. Look at your suspension carefully
and make sure that you get the level of firmness that YOU want. I used poly
bushes, anti-roll bars and tinkered with bits to get a ride that was good
enough to impress the late Alan Cameron storming up Prescott (which he ran
at the time).

Subject: [Healeys] Parts Wanted and for Sale
Listers,
I'm in need of a BN1/2 distributor drive spindle. I have a good
distributor, so if anyone has an old busted up distributor that they'd be
willing to part with I'd be interested.
Also a friend has a set of four early, flat hub BN1 wire wheels for sale.
I may already have a buyer, but if this falls through. is anyone needing a
set?
I don't have a price yet but the condition is described as very good, and I
hope to have photos in a week.
Cheers,
Curt Arndt

I recall someone mentioning that Roger Moment developed a finish to apply to hardi board to make the finish like the original asbestos. I?ve looked through the archives and on John Simm?s site and can?t find the note. Does anyone know the finish he used or is there someone that can provide me with a proper finish?
Thank you in advance.

In 2000 or so I found material like the orig stuff. It came from a local boiler supply house. Looked exactly like the orig. I merely cut it and covered it with a few coats of a clear coat, not sure of its composition right now. Turned out perfectly.

It is a two-part refinishing process. First part is two coats of
Rustoleum Clean Metal Primer 7780830. Then you apply a very light
coat of MinWax Polyurethane Clear Satin to seal the surface and make
it cleanable. Both are spray cans and each can contains enough for a
dozen cars :-) You don't want the urethane to look shiny. The
instructions are included with Moss's kit. The primer is a nice
off-white that Roger found to match the original color.

Did not mention it but the stuff I refer to had the same "grid" pattern in it like would appear if it were dried on a wire rack.

I just installed the Moss kit a couple of weeks ago. Here are a couple of
in-progress shots of what they look like finished as described. The kit
works very well.

It is a two-part refinishing process. First part is two coats of Rustoleum
Clean Metal Primer 7780830. Then you apply a very light coat of MinWax
Polyurethane Clear Satin to seal the surface and make it cleanable. Both
are spray cans and each can contains enough for a dozen cars :-) You don't
want the urethane to look shiny. The instructions are included with Moss's
kit. The primer is a nice off-white that Roger found to match the original
color.

Oh, and I would add that IMHO it is MUCH easier to buy the kit than try to
cut the cement board oneself. I know I could not have done nearly as
precise a job with a sabre saw and drill. Plus, my old ones were inaccurate
and poorly fabricated, and would have made really crappy patterns. The kit
is well worth the cost.

I'll second Bruce's comment. The Moss kit comes with the parts pre
cut so that they will fit against each other as they should. They
specially made thick washers would take effort to dublicate. If you
are going to make your own parts it will take time and probably a few
re-makes. Roger Moment's instructions come with it and are very
detailed (and of course based on a lot of experience). If you are
going to try to cut Hardi panels of any sort you will create a lot of
cement dust and dull blades, and possibly a saw motor worn out by the
abrasive dust. Getting inside corners and rectangular slots just
right can be challenging, too. Having cut a couple of hundred feet of
Hardi siding I speak from experience. Just saying.

You won't be fitting those into a standard Healey engine bay!
Are they special ones to keep your (LHD) feet warm?

Hello
The very early 100/6 BN4s had a two into one muffler and a single tail pipe.

It is beautifully made but it is a pity the pipes are not equally length
and not joined in pairs 6 into 3 and then into 1. Also the last 2 into 1
joint is not correct. The joining pipe of a smaller diameter than the other.

I wonder what the gas flow dynamics are like with a structure like that. I
wouldn't have thought that the flow was very free from a cursory glance. It's
those choking bends and the long flat(?) runs that worry me.
Patrick is as ever right about these things, 100/6s did use a single exhaust as
did works rally cars.

I was being sarcastic about the foot warmers.
Seriously Men.
101 exhaust systems theory.
You all passed.
Now - all you need to do is fit your perfect, identical length pipes inside your body/ chassis structure.
Equal lengths, 3 into 2, 2 into 1. Yep
Awesome theory. Right out of a Text book.
Humor me. This isn't my design.
So flush your books, and look again.
Focus on the pipe length from the block to the horizontal pipe.
Holy shit!!
That side pipe is so far away from my engine block.....
Then punch yourself in the face.
My guess? Extractors to fit like the 1967 RAC car.

Headers can play an important part of an engine build and the design of the exhaust system does impact the tune of a car, ?but? the use of the car, grocery getter, daily driver, trailer queen, track or high speed at full throttle dictates what parts you add and the intended benefit those parts may or may not give your build. The headers shown in previous posts will flow better than any stock system. Is it necessary for street cars, probably not. Does it produce 10% more horsepower, maybe. Is that what your after? Maybe the torque curve is more important?.. There is a long list of things to consider when contemplating a change from the stock setup.

We might be going slightly off track here?but I put three HD6s in place of the HS4s on my tricarb. Also a set of headers at the same time. Made a very appreciable difference.
Mind you, those original exhaust manifolds are pretty rough old things. Ever looked inside one?

Not only do they fit without cutting, they are 1-3/4" tubes, which means
they are 1-5/8" ID ----- exactly the same size as the exhaust ports.

Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive
Listers,
In a previous post, I related problems with my 66 BJ8 overdrive not
working/releasing properly.
The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working
correctly.
The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating
lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with
the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every
time and the two holes on the right side always line up.
However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to
neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as
indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed
and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug
removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on.
At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans
case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what
is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the
slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops
down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve
operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does
not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the
lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position.
No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's
own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the
solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no
matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid
and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the
actuating shaft/lever?
I am really frustrated with getting the overdrive to work properly. Any
thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

Fred,
I don?t fully understand the issue. My experience with OD?s is that the lever could be misadjusted if it lines up with the hole. Counter intuitive I know, but parts wear. That said, when driving, to disengage the OD once the switch has been turned off one needs to quickly punch the gas pedal. That causes it to disengage.

They are not the prettiest, but they are of very simple construction and
easy to restore and repair and all or most parts are available. The
engine may be small but can be replaced by a 1275cc engine which is
easily tuned. They are as bumpy as a AH100 but if you do not mind that a
joy to drive. A perfect car for learning how to deal with a classic car.

Subject: [Healeys] OT: '71 Midget Mk III
It looks and sounds like a nice car at a decent price. As with any old car check for rust or bad rust repairs, rocker panels, floors, bottom of the little area between the front fender and the door. Most parts are cheap and readily available new and used. Check that the front suspension is tight, it can be relatively expensive to fix. Tranny, same thing, non synchro first often gets banged up and chipped, it should whine a little, not a lot.
The asking price used to be all the money in the world for a Midget, but they have gone up like everything else. They are a hoot to drive, like a little go kart. I don't know the situation, I don't know if I would want one for my young kids first and only car (let them learn their lessons in a Carolla or something) but as a weekend or fun car they are great.

Fred, it seems that you have tried everything and I can understand your frustrations. Without seeing the solenoid/lever connection, I would suggest that the lever may be too tight to the solenoid core and the lever then jams and cannot return due to the interference. The core has to move freely on the lever as it moves up and down. Unfortunately, the lever attachment point will not remain flat as it pivots at the OD. With the upper and lower ?washer? type widening this area can interfere with the lever if connected too tightly and thus jam ever so slightly.
Otherwise, there is something that is causing the solenoid core from dropping. Is the core bent or otherwise interfering with the internal solenoid body? Is your rubber boot adding additional pressure and holding the core in the body? When you loosen the solenoid body, does this ?realignment? allow the core to drop? Is the core straight? Try rolling it on a flat surface and see how it is. Is the core clean without oil or grease buildup?
My 2 cents worth Fred hope this helps.

Subject: [Healeys] Overdrive
Listers,
In a previous post, I related problems with my 66 BJ8 overdrive not working/releasing properly.
The electrical issues have now been solved and the electrics are working correctly.
The remaining issue is still the release of the overdrive. The operating lever is properly adjusted now with the hole in the lever lining up with the hole in the case. The operating solenoid/lever engages strongly every time and the two holes on the right side always line up.
However, when the switch is turned off, the gear selector moved to neutral and the gas pedal pressed, the solenoid is deactivated (as indicated by a volt meter) but the lever does not release. I have removed and cleaned the operating valve pushrod and reinstalled it. With the plug removed I can see the spring jump when the overdrive is switched on.
At first I thought that the solenoid lever was rubbing against the trans case and not allowing the solenoid lever to release. But that is not what is happening (I checked both sides of the trans). When I apply the slightest pressure to the solenoid lever (at the solenoid), the lever drops down into the off position. Time after time this is happens. The valve operating shaft gives a very slight resistance to moving initially and does not want to release by it's self. After the very slightest pressure on the lever, the lever moves easily and drops to the released position.
No matter what I do I cannot get the solenoid lever to drop down on it's own. With just the slightest touch it does drop down. I loosened the solenoid unit so that it was sort of free floating but no change at all no matter what I did or how I moved it. I removed and cleaned the solenoid and plunger. Is it possible that something inside the trans is binding the actuating shaft/lever?
I am really frustrated with getting the overdrive to work properly. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Fred

The operating through shaft is supposed to have about 10 thou end float to stop binding at either end. Perhaps try increasing this a touch as this might be causing it to hang up ?

Subject: [Healeys] Rear Main Drain Pipe
I currently have the oil pan off my BJ8 ? to replace the gasket with one of those newer silicon style ones.
While scratching around saw that there was a large threaded hole on the rear main. Also one on the front main but smaller diameter.
My manual shows a drain pipe there.
Is it important ?
Do I need to fit one ?
Purpose ?
Read on another forum that removing it reduces leaks from the rear seal ?
What about the front threaded hole ? Manual doesn?t show anything ?
Thoughts please.

Thanks folks, I knew the List would come through for us.
One aspect I neglected to mention is that our son is long out of the nest and
just reaching that station in life where he can think about undertaking the care
and feeding of a LBC for fun. (For me it was the reverse: after 15 years
companionship with the BJ7 I married a Karmann-Ghia as my second.)

Kees,
Given the constraints of the Healey engine bay and footwell, I do not think
it is possible to achieve exact equal length pipes, then 6 pipes into 3,
and so forth as you describe. If it could have been done.... I would have
done it. As the pipes are done now, it is like threading a needle to get
both sets into the small opening between engine and chassis. The tubes are
1-3/4" so the inside diameter is 1-5/8" which is the same size as the
exhaust ports. If anyone has made a set of headers better than these, I
would love to see them. And yes the 2 into 1 wye is not every elegant but
that is not part of the headers. It was an afterthought and can be
discarded.

BCS is my go to supplier for hard to find parts and parts where
quality is an issue. In this case, Moss worked hard to come up with a
kit that Roger Moment would approve. The only place that BCS can get
that kit is from Moss. Moss is closer to me than is BCS and can
deliver in 24 - 36 hours while BCS takes a couple of days more.

Subject: [Healeys] Trans oil foaming
References: hMFGcDhdwDG7qhMFIcAAjy
Now heard back from Castrol/BP.
Their response is that they do not recommend the use of their non-detergent 30 oil in manual transmissions.
Castrol does not recommend our Non-Detergent 30 oil for manual transmission applications, and we believe the foaming was likely caused by some type of contamination, perhaps water in the transmission.
Unfortunately Castrol does not offer a manual transmission fluid product in Canada or the US.
This phenomenon is still a mystery to me as there certainly was no water in the transmission as had drained it 2x before noticing the foaming.

Roger,
Your post is good timing for me. I just recently replaced my gearbox and installed Shell ND 30wt. After having a reoccurring drip, I thought it would be wise to check the oil this past weekend. I forgot to check the level before I cranked the engine, so I shut it down after it had run for about a minute. Much to my surprise, I noticed a lot of oil foaming on the dipstick. The oil level was just fine, midway between high and low. Always heard oil foaming was a problem to maintaining proper lubrication of the parts. In engines, I understand that foaming can be caused by over filling the crankcase. Hopefully, the level is high enough that the foam is above the rotating gears and bearings.
So, I too would be curious what the experts say. I too have the MT90 at hand, but was concerned that the drip would possibly be worse if I switched.

I recently had the OD on my BJ8 apart to replace some parts ? bearing/accumulator/gaskets/O rings etc.
For a first sort of sacrificial oil fill I decided to use a non detergent Castrol 30 wt oil. Date codes less than 18 months old. Plan was to switch to the expensive Redline MT90 after testing and after a few hundred miles. This 30 WT oil is often recommended by OD experts. I have built an electric variable speed rest rid to be able to test the transmission outside the car.
Overdrive worked fine and transmission sounded OK and ran it for about 2 hours to get the temp up (52C on OD case) and hunt for leaks.
So far so good.
Then after a few days of standing, and 2 minutes of running, I drained the oil (to fix a leak) and was amazed to see that the oil had foamed badly and there were big classic fish eye bubbles on the surface of the oil. Ambient was about 14C. I did note that the oil coming out of the transmission was somewhat foamier than that from the overdrive drain plug.
See enclosed pix.
After standing overnight the oil looked normal again.
What disturbs me is that unless I had drained the oil I would not have been aware of the foaming and put it into service ....
Have now replaced with the MT90 that shows no sign of foaming on the dip stick.
Wonder if others have any ideas about this weird phenomenon and is it a concern ?

Subject: [Healeys] Throttle Bushes
Cross-posting from BCF:
While getting ready to drop the rebuilt engine into my BJ8, I noticed
the 'throttle relay shaft'--yeah, the one under the scuttle, all but
impossible to get to with the engine installed--was bent. 'Crap,' I
thought, 'one more job to do before I can get the engine in.' It turns
out this was serendipitous--first time this word's been used on the
List?--because as I inspected the shaft, I noticed that one of the two
brackets was also bent, and further inspection revealed that the bush on
the driver's side was way sloppy (actually, pretty much gone). A quick
check of the Moss catalog showed 'N/A' for all the parts--I'm screwed, I
thought. Then, I remembered I'd bought a replacement set--supposedly
made of teflon, but they say 'nylon' on the bag--but had given up on
installing them because the instructions showed 'through BN7 and BT7'
(BJ7/8s need not apply). I called BCS to see what they had, and John,
their parts guy said they'd work on BJ8s. So, I did some digging and,
although the photo of the instructions and applications on Moss' web
page showed 'though BN7 and BT7,' if you download the instructions--5
pages!--they've been revised to show they work on the 'J' cars.
Anyway, if anyone has the engine out of one of the later 6-cyl cars I
recommend you check these brackets and bushings. They are bronze bonded
to rubber and, although my car has nearly 200K miles, I suspect the life
of these is determined as much/more in years as in miles, as the rubber
gets baked by engine heat. The rubber on my driver's side bush was
completely dry, caked and brittle, and could conceivably have resulted
in a stuck throttle. The instructions are intimidating--5 pages!--but,
except for having to work under the dash, which I hate, the job was
pretty straightforward. I managed to get the shaft reasonably straight,
and the used bracket I got from BCS was in good shape (though, in
hindsight, I probably could have straightened my bent one), so now my
Rube Goldberg-designed throttle works smooth and with no slop.
Thought I'd pass this along since I hadn't seen this issue discussed
before. I'd long since replaced the rubber/bronze bush on the shaft on
the engine, and should never have to worry about these again. Credit to
to Eric Gruden who designed these bushes, and to Moss for going the
extra mile to provide these, for a reasonable cost (about $13).

Good catch. They tend to get munged when folks install or remove their
engines, if not as stated heat and time.
I built a cable throttle set up to bypass the Rube Goldberg set up. I have
promised a wrote up to John Sims for quite some time to add to his

On the BJ8 parts list, a packing plate for the door striker is shown but not exactly. Should this packing plate be on the shut face side where it could help move the striker in and out for an adjustment or should the plate be in the fender well next to the threaded plate? Per my old parts I need to start bending the reproduction stuff. Sticking the packing plate against the shut face would help.Thanks,Ken Freese65 BJ8Note to Len- thanks for the picture, but that is not the part that is worn on my car.

That is correct, although it will not help much. The sleeve is the most
important item for that purpose and can be made up from scrap materials
easily enough, which also allows some experimenting.

They do not refer to any other UK cars. Each make has its own specific
codes, like in these modern days, but simpler.

It also helps to mount the bracket on rubber isolator blocks.

... and another on the gas pedal shaft--4 total--although that one
doesn't suffer as much abuse (that was the 'under the dash' part).
Can't speak to your car, Bruce; the instructions show these are suitable
for BN7s. Maybe prior to BJ8s they used something different (can't
imagine cork would hold up long at all). Mine were rubber/bronze
bushings in a metal cup; the nylon/teflon ones still go inside the metal
cup. Looking at Bruce's photo, you can see the ends of the cup
protruding from either side of the brackets, although I don't see any of
the white nylon bushes.
Every time I think I've done every possible job on a Healey it proves me
wrong.
Bob
ps. Of course, it's Eric GruNden, not Gruden. Guess I still had a
little football in my head.

It is actually the cover nr. 72, the earlier shape instead of the later
rubber strip that sits between the clamp and the pump body. It is to
isolate the pump from the car body to reduce noise. I imagine they
replaced the cover to avoid overheating of the pump.
The sleeve nr. 70 is a thin rubber ring that is a seal between the pumps
coil housing and the Bakelite cover for the points mechanism. I cut the
rings from fat bicycle inner tires. When I first looked at the picture
(to) quickly I assumed it was the later rubber strip nr.70 as I did not
read the explanatory text below the picture.

That?s because the white nylon bushes got painted cadmium with the rest of the mounts. It clearly looked like Eric had spread the mounts to insert the bushings, then re-crimped them to hold them tightly in place.

Subject: [Healeys] another BJ8 door striker question
Ken,
The packing plate goes on the shut face side but they go between the aluminum door finisher and the shut face pillar I'm pretty sure. If I remember correctly I used a few choice expletives while getting the proper alignment and fit.
Hope this helps,

I can?t find the original layout but:
B stands for the engine size. A for the small engine in Sprites (less than 2000cc) and B for the engine in Healeys up to 3000 cc?s or so. Thus the AN, etc. for Sprites since they had a 900 or so cc engine.
N stands for two seater although it appeared on the BN4 which was a ?occasional? four seater (if you had stubby legs you could fit)
T for four seater
J for true convertible with the top permanently fastened
L is for left hand drive
If there is an ?O? it stands for equipped with overdrive but this was omitted on most cars as most had standard OD.
So, BN6 was a large engine two seater and the 6th model in the series. BJ8 was a large engine car with a permanent folding top and the 8th model in the series.
BJ9 is my Kia Sedona.

I have a new set of full race JE Pistons that I do not need. They are
84.5mm (3.327 Inches), the maximum allowable to remain under 3 liters.
Paid to have them custom made, with new pins (with spiro locks), thin rings,
tuff coat on skirt and thermal barrier coating on the crown. Also had the
crown undercut. Paid almost $1200 delivered. Will sell at discount and take
small loss. Have pictures and invoice for serious inquiry.
Also, have a Liege cam with bucket followers that is extra to my use (bucket
followers require longer push rods). Will sell for fair offer. Best cam
factory ever developed. Grind was used in Liege-Rome-Liege rally 1963,
then, so good, used at Sebring 1965.
Going to eBay next week - list first choice.
Contact off list please.

I think I used liquid silicone rubber when I repaired my throttle rod
assembly in 1999. I inserted the bronze bushings into the cups, filled the
cups with the silicone, then inserted the rod to ensure that the bushings
would be in alignment when the silicone cured. I have had no reason to
remove the repaired assembly since then but the silicone seems to be doing
fine so far.

I tried a combination of original latch plate and new striker plate without the packing plate and that worked very nicely so I left well enough alone. The welded original latch turned out well.If I want the new latch plate, I am sure I would need the packing plate also for a start.

Jerry only sold his last Healey three years ago; maybe the 'Healey regret' hasn't set in yet. Wonder if he'll be one of the people that come up to me at gas stations, hotels and restaurants and says: "I used to have one of those; wish I still had it..."
My BFF bought a 'rod a few years ago; all he did with it is take it to car shows and toodle around town. He got bored with it (and his wife wouldn't ride in it).

While not knowing the background reasons for not installing the gauges, I would strongly recommend temporarily installing the oil pressure and water temp. Lay a cloth or suitable non-scratch material over the cowl in front of the windshield, tape done (or otherwise hold from sliding) and tape the gauges down onto it. Connect the gauges into the engine and radiator. Support the hood on a block of rubber or wood to allow the piping to exit the engine bay and you should be good to go. This is faster and less risk than a jury rigged plug letting go unexpectedly or worse yet, without knowing that it has let go.
Again, not knowing the reason for not installing the gauges; just my 2 cents worth.

Subject: [Healeys] drive BN2 without safety gage
My friend needs to drive his BN2 to my house without his gages installed. I could tell him to use a bolt for the radiator, but I don't know what size to tell him, I thought it might be non standard. Would someone tell me, thanks.
For the oil, he remove the hose from the block and replace with a upside down screw head and a nut like the steering box olive nut.

If he can't find a suitable bolt or plug I think a laboratory grade rubber stopper would work if you 'screw' it in.

I installed a new stainless steel exhaust system in my BJ8 in 1986 and painted it before installation with Plasti-Kote Universal #203 Black engine paint. No need to repaint since then. I painted only the pipes and mufflers, not the exhaust manifold. I did not use a separate primer.
Recently I repainted the engine in my MG Midget with VHT gray engine primer and black topcoat because that was what is available now locally, but I have not yet reinstalled the engine so I can't comment on its durability. The can says it is good to 550 deg. F (288 C).

Subject: [Healeys] Healey phase 2 rear end serial number range
I am trying to date a couple late BJ-8 rear end housings by their serial
numbers. Does anyone have that information from 1965 to 1967? I understand
that not all housings had serial numbers.
Thanks

Barn Finds has and interesting story about a FiberFab Banshee for sale.
http://barnfinds.com/can-hear-wail-1966-fiberfab-banshee/
It is on a ?60s? Austin-Healey chassis, with a 2.3L Ford engine and automatic transmission. That combo sounds a lot less exciting than the promise of the Banshee in this picture:

Wayne, I'm surprised you didn't check with the BJ8 Registry first. The BMIHT certificates sometimes give the rear axle number, but there are apparently long strings of cars in their records for which no rear axle number was recorded and are therefore not on the certificate. And you are correct that some axle housings apparently have no serial number (mine doesn't).
The BJ8 Registry now has data, records, and ownership history for almost exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,853 of 17,712), including copies of certificates for 935 chassis numbers (plus BMIHT data for several thousand more for which no certificate is available). There are 1,247 rear axle numbers identified to the chassis number currently in the registry. Rear axle numbers for very early BJ8s were generally much higher than later ones and could vary widely in sequence with the chassis number (e.g., chassis 25317 had rear axle 23564, chassis 25507 had rear axle 28736; but chassis 26898 had rear axle 505). Later cars seem to have a more reliable pattern to the numbers.
What are the serial numbers you are interested in?

Since you mentioned Fiberfab, I have a complete Jamaican Fiberfab body including the glass that was mounted on a Healey chassis. It was in primer and driven s few times before the previous owner decided to sell off the AH chassis and mechanicals. If someone is really interested send me an email to discuss. They sold for about a $1000 In the late 60's. That's $6900 US today. Should be worth a few laughs!

Subject: [Healeys] Starter
Finally got my rebuilt engine in my BJ8 and started this weekend. At
first, it ran rough and backfired, but we spotted a secondary ignition
lead shorting out--which probably caused the backfiring--and the timing
was inexplicably set way retarded and once that was corrected it runs
like the proverbial Swiss watch. Based on my scientific
analysis--feeling the exhaust pulses at the tailpipe--this engine is
making big bangs so the compression should be excellent (I'm hoping for
160psi on all 6 or better). But--there's always a 'but'--my starter
seems to have become impotent as far as cranking the engine when (both
are) hot. AFAIK the starter is original and not rebuilt and has nearly
200K miles on it so a rebuild is likely in order but are our old Lucas
starters up to motivating a fresh engine with good compression? I
really don't want to go with a gear reduction starter, but if the old
Lucas whiffs what else can I do?

The starter is powerful enough. A proper rebuild is all it needs. A good
clean of the commutator on a lathe and new brushes should bring back the
strength. Also new bearings will help.

No problem at all. I have done it many times on much older cars. Be
gentle and take very small and fine cuts with a very sharp tool at high
speed and undercut the insulation properly, i.e. not more than 0,5mm.

Hi Bob,
I had the exact same problem on my BJ8. When hot (like stopping for,gas....) it would not turn over at all. Cold it worked fine. Just needs a rebuild. Incidentally, I did have mine rebuilt locally and no difference, so whatever they did it obviously wasnt right. I got a rebuilt starter from one of the major Healey suppliers and problem fixed.

Subject: [Healeys] Throttle Springs
I carelessly overstretched my old throttle return springs--2 of them on
my BJ8--removing them before rebuild but thought 'No big deal; they're
only a couple bucks apiece.' So I bought new ones, installed them, and
the resistance in the gas pedal is so light I'm not sure the car (BJ8)
will be as driveable; i.e. the pedal 'touch' may be too sensitive.
Since I replaced seriously worn throttle shaft bushes with teflon/nylon,
the change may be due to that--I'm just used to pushing harder on a worn
out mechanism--or, possibly, the repo springs are weaker (they DO look a

The one thing that makes a world of difference to the cranking speed
is undercutting the insulation on the commutator. The Lucas
instructions forbid it big letters but hey, like those brake caliper
bolts which we must never undo, there is no good reason not to and
there are significant benefits to doing so.
Apparently the insulation between the segments is supposed to wear
down faster than the copper but in reality it doesn't and creates a
high resistance which equals slow or no cranking when hot.

Subject: [Healeys] Petroflex Fuel Line
The new flexible rubber/stainless wrap fuel line I recently purchased is
a bit shorter than the previous one, but still too long to route from
the hard line to the front carb without a large 'S turn.' Can these be
safely--and 'cleanly'--cut or otherwise shortened without damaging
them? I'm thinking: a) measure twice, b) wrap the point of the cut with
masking tape, c) cut (once) with air cutoff tool or ?. Anyone done this?
The old line, also Petroflex, while a bit less flexible than the new
one, was in good enough shape to keep using, but I figured overhaul time
was a good time to replace all rubber components. Also, the jet
diaphragms in my HD8s were likewise stiffer than new ones, and showed
some minute cracks, but were otherwise serviceable. Both components
have at least 20 years and 70-80K miles of service, on mostly
California--i.e. ethanol spiked--gas. The radiator hoses were like new
and could have been reused as well.

Len,
Looks like our cars 'graduated' from the same class. My car, number
38652, was conceived '12 October - 1 November 1966' and 'despatched'
(sic) 15 November 1966.
But, my car's a slacker: only 195K miles (give-or-take).

Subject: [Healeys] Hood grille insert- on top or underneath?
Was the chrome grille section of the hood air scoop on the six
cylinder cars originally fitted from underneath the hood metal or on
top of it, underneath the trim?
It fits better on top, but then the upper trim gets angled upwards
slightly which looks odd. Underneath it digs into the paint at the
bottom, as do the ends of the trim.
Completely inside- definitely not correct
http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-austin-healey-bonnet-badge-48145309.html
Underneath- looks nice but you can see the paint getting damaged at the edges
http://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-austin-healey-car-badge-31424979.html
On top- clears the paint but sits up and looks a bit odd

I hope not. It's what my engine builder used--30W--in my 'new' BJ8
engine for break-in; he swears by it. He says to keep it in for 500
miles. He also says while Valvoline 20W-50 is good, to add ZDDP
additive to it.

Bob,
Do you still have the big mousetrap spring on the gas pedal?
If that's true and the pedal is still too light, you could add a stretch coil spring between the upper part of the pedal and the steering column lower bracket. I did this for a while in the oughts when Moss was out of stock on the mousetrap springs.

Subject: [Healeys] Throttle Springs
I carelessly overstretched my old throttle return springs--2 of them on
my BJ8--removing them before rebuild but thought 'No big deal; they're
only a couple bucks apiece.' So I bought new ones, installed them, and
the resistance in the gas pedal is so light I'm not sure the car (BJ8)
will be as driveable; i.e. the pedal 'touch' may be too sensitive.
Since I replaced seriously worn throttle shaft bushes with teflon/nylon,
the change may be due to that--I'm just used to pushing harder on a worn
out mechanism--or, possibly, the repo springs are weaker (they DO look a
little wimpier). I haven't driven the car yet--maybe I'll prefer a
lighter pedal--but has anyone else bought new springs and thought they
weren't as, er, springy as the originals?

Might do that, and/or add additional wimpy throttle springs on the
manifold. We'll see how the pedal feels when I get her back on the road.

the holes were there originally, or if they are there as a function of

Pardon the poor picture - hopefully you get the idea.

I?d guess (only) that those four holes ? two at each corner, right? ? were for the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom corners. I?ve got one?.it?s a decent enough thing.
I?m surprised that one fits repair patch panels to a boot lid. Doesn?t one just fit a new one?

I’d guess (only) that those four holes – two at each corner, right? – were for the attachment of a luggage rack. There was/is a rack that was attached via the boot hinge pins and by screwing triangular mounting plates onto the bottom corners. I’ve got one….it’s a decent enough thing.I’m surprised that one fits repair patch panels to a boot lid. Doesn’t one just fit a new one?

Hi all,
I have just checked my late 65 BJ8 which has no holes.
As far as I'm aware it is an original trunk lid and has never had a
replacement panel on the lid
more than I can say for the remainder of the car as all of the lower
sections of the panels
required replacement when I purchased it 30 years or so ago

I recently purchased a replacement Smiths Gauge Oil / Temp Gauge. The gauge was shipped loose in the box and the sensor wire was bent at 90 degrees during shipment. If I bend the wire back would it likely be reliable or should I return it to the vendor?

The only holes along the bottom edge of the trunk lip are for the rivits that attach shroud to the chassis lip. And the 3 buffers. If there was a drain hole it would drain into the trunk.

Thanks guys - I appreciate the replies. So, the consensus would be that the
holes were for a previously mounted luggage rack. Which makes sense,
because the car also has nuts & bolts going through the trunk hinges where
the pins would normally be.
Which would lead to a follow up question - does anyone know where I could
get just the hinge pins (or something equivalent) instead of paying Moss
$60 per for each hinge? Does anyone have a couple lying around? :-)
@Simon - here is the boot lid patch panel:
http://www.mossmotors.com/Shop/ViewProducts.aspx?PlateIndexID=28951#76
It's only a few inches wide, and is really just for repairing the rusty
bottom lip.
Thanks,
Neil

Phase 1 BJ8s had single lights under the headlamps with small clear glass lenses like BJ7s. The early Phase 2 cars had single lights under the headlamps with larger clear plastic lenses. This was true up to body number 76137. From body 76138 and up, they had dual lights under the headlamps with amber turn signals and clear parking lights. That is according to the BMC parts manual for BJ7/BJ8, but quite a few cars have been found with pre-body number 76138 dual lights and post-body number 76138 with single light configurations. Shrouds may have been changed from original, or maybe not; but it's hard to verify any BMC change that sticks hard and fast to the parts manual.

Hi Ira,
My '65 BJ8 is a very early phase II car; phase II rear suspension with a phase I body. It has the single plastic running lights in the front and the small reflectors in the rear.

With all 3000s the twin lights were introduced in late March 1965, before
than it depended on what country the car was delivered to. With cars
delivered new to certain European countries (Sweden and German) some models
as early 3000 Mk 1s had dual beehive style sidelights or even smaller lights
than that.
In the main, with the BJ8 S2 came the wider single plastic lens front and
rear.

It is not unknown that Jensen, who built the AH100-3000 used what was at
hand at the moment and during the transition to new models parts of
older models were found the new models and v.v. You cannot go by the
chassis number around the change to another variant of the model.
It is the same in Jensens.
It is not uncommon in other makes either. Common sense to get rid of
stock which otherwise would get dumped.

As stated before, the light configuration change was based on body number,
not chassis number. BMIHT data records the change point body number at
76138 for the dual lights. The data also says that body number belonged to
both chassis 31259 (built 1 - 2 April 1965) and 31336 (built XX March 1965).

is
a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III
is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s
crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this
here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the
21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup,
this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports
car

So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and
?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding
will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago,
Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of
documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant
benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw
power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration,
the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage

Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Don't know about the colour but I'd always thought - and my books confirm - that the last 3000 was a one-off in '68 and that its chassis number was 43026.
Fair enough...this one is '67 and 43025 so they're really saying that it was the last one off the regular production line. I'd hesitate to say last "mass-produced" BJ8!
Such trivia....didn't I see that the original email talked about HS6 carbs?

The notes that I have, source unknown, indicate that the last Healey was
39418. I see that 43025 is right hand drive. Is it possible that 39418 was
the last left hand drive Healey?

Why is it never easy? We need Steve Byers in here to officiate. From
Graham Robson's "The Big Healeys", 43025 was the last production car coming
off the production line on 12/21/67. Two more cars, 43000 and 43007 were
finished in January 1968. The last car, 43026 was built from scratch and
finished March 14, 1968. 43026 is detailed here and is white:
http://www.ahexp.com/registry/HBJ843026 Robson's book also contains a
picture of a BJ8 going down the line with a sign saying "The End" on it,
which I'm guessing is 43025. It appears to be a rather dark color (maybe
BRG) so perhaps the GBM is a repaint (and why would you change the color of
the last production car?)
Confusing Healeying,
Rick Neville

HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025 was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige.
Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025 wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> Sprite is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> back-to-basics sports car to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at <http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3> Classic Car Auctions. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no <https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html> garage queen. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Because the original question was "When did the dual lights begin"?
The definition of Phase 1 and Phase 2 does not depend on light configuration alone; but Phase 2 cars had different light configurations depending on body number -- or depending on the whims at the assembly factory.

Don't know about the colour but I'd always thought - and my books confirm - that the last 3000 was a one-off in '68 and that its chassis number was 43026.
Fair enough...this one is '67 and 43025 so they're really saying that it was the last one off the regular production line. I'd hesitate to say last "mass-produced" BJ8!
Such trivia....didn't I see that the original email talked about HS6 carbs?

I thought the plastic lenses indicated phase 2. the dual front lights was
just called late phase 2 or back in the day phase 2+. Do you know of any
official nomenclature change for the dual front plastic lens cars?

Rich, the parts manual says the placement of the license plate was below the

recorded in the registry for that body, but body 79898 is chassis 34992).

My phase 1 has the single glass bee-hive lights, the cubby in the center
counsel, pan-hard rod across the rear axle and the earlier body height that
centers the wheels in the wheel wells. There is a difference in the
placement of the license plates on the bumpers.

As stated before, the light configuration change was based on body number,
not chassis number. BMIHT data records the change point body number at
76138 for the dual lights. The data also says that body number belonged to
both chassis 31259 (built 1 - 2 April 1965) and 31336 (built XX March 1965).

My left hand driver is 40045, built in January, 1967. I owned another BJ8 lefty, # 39981 built. Oct. 30 ? Nov. 2, 1966 Oddly enough, it was not ?Dispatched? ?til 2/67. Built before my current BJ8, but dispatched after. I also find it interesting that I bought these cars almost 20 years apart (#39981 in Feb. 1977, #40045 in Nov. 1996) and the numbers are only 64 digits apart!
Trivia for my idle mind....

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

"Fresh from a restoration done a year ago". I guess that the term " restoration" is used pretty loosely here. Perhaps saying that it has been resprayed would have been more accurate but it would not get bidders as enthusiastic to bring it up even to the lowest estimate. I can see keeping the original seats to show that "patina" makes sense but the very least they could have done is install the piping on the aluminum door trim, the rubber bumpers on the front shroud for the bonnet and the rubber seal for the trunk actually installed on the trunk lid. At the same time they could have secured the spare tire at its proper location with the metal bar and leather belt holding it in place. I am quite amazed that they di install the fender flash the correct way.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
When talking British classics, it?s impossible to ignore the likes of the Jaguar E-Type and Aston Martin DB5. But while those are pop icons in their own right, the Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/oh-jerry-ricky-gervais-rides-in-austin-healey-video-48045.html> is a bit of a specialty.
As compared to Jaguar and Aston Martin, which are still with us, the venture created by Austin and Donald Healey Motor in 1952 came to a conclusion in 1972. The cutesy Sprite<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/baby-buys-austin-healey-sprite-on-ebay-video-62937.html> is a quintessential product of this legendary link-up, albeit the 3000 Mk III is the car Austin-Healey enthusiasts consider to be the British outfit?s crowning achievement.
17,712 examples of the Mark III were produced from ?64 to ?67, and this here is the last one ever made. Chassis HBJ843025 was manufactured on the 21st of December, 1967, and the current owner bought it 45 years ago. Yup, this is one cherished example of the 3000 Mk III, a back-to-basics sports car<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/alpine-s-reborn-a110-fully-revealed-it-s-the-french-answer-to-the-718-and-4c-115966.html> to die for. Better still, it has covered only 57,389 miles (92,358 kilometers) over the course of half a century.
?This is the first time the car has been offered for sale in over 40 years and as such an important and iconic British sports car we expect a significant amount of interest,? said Richard Greenhalgh, specialist at Classic Car Auctions<http://www.classiccarauctions.co.uk/austin-healey-3000-mk-3>. So what?s the estimate on this example of the Big Healey? ?75,000 and ?90,000 is CCA?s pre-auction estimate, but only time will tell if bidding will get rowdy.
Benefitting from a fresh restoration that finished just a year ago, Healey?s last-ever Mk III is joined by a large history file, lots of documents, and a heritage certificate. Of course, the inline-six powerplant benefits from a high-lift camshaft and SU HS6 carbs, additions that saw power go up from 136 to 150 bhp. And compared to the previous iteration, the Mk III boasts power-assisted brakes as standard.
Last, but not least, it?s noteworthy to point out that this is no garage queen<https://www.autoevolution.com/news/laferrari-shows-up-for-sale-with-393-miles-on-the-odometer-costs-4-million-116287.html>. And even restored, the final Big Healey doesn?t fail to show its patina.

Nope Len. I own 42845, and a good friend close by owns 43014 - both LHD. I
know where 43012 is also built and sold LHD, but has been converted to RHD
by the current owner.

Also got a mail notice that Hemmings Sports and Exotics Magazine is closing its doors. I was an original subscriber and found it to be one of the best in the business. This appears to be a victim of technology.

Double dammit! And the reasons behind his departure stink. The show is
too difficult to produce? Amazing how they've managed to do it and do it
well all these years. I like that Edd tackles problems that most of us
have to deal with. My favorite was putting a new chassis under the Morgan.

So very sorry to read this. Edd
And his repairs are the focus of the show. What are they going to focus on
now? More Like Brewer yacking on screen?
This can't be good. My wife always enjoyed seeing how cars were fixed and
Edd is such an easy going guy.

Peter, and all,?? This is very interesting. I've personally seen a couple of early Hundreds with what was obviously a plain (non metallic) shade of light grayish blue.? In the meantime having been personally involved in the restoration of Blair Harber's? pre-production Hundred (AHX-14) and the first production car BN1L138031, I can attest to the fact that these two cars had what was immediately recognized as metallic Healey Ice Blue.? This tells me that both the non metallic and the normally recognizable metallic versions were produced from the beginning.?? We also know that Jensens (who painted the bodies) were using at least? Dockers and I.C.I. paints early on.? This fact alone would contribute to varying shades of colour.?? As a further point to confuse, my painter has been experimenting with the Healey Blue metallic shades, and recently showed me a sample spray out card, one side sprayed with a formula we've been happily using for a while now, but just the bare paint, the other half of the sample card oversprayed with a thin coating of clear.? It was amazing how much darker the cleared sample was to the eye.?? It was actually hard to imagine it was the same colour!It is for these many varying reasons that when judging a car in Concours, we first let the owner comment on the colour applied if he/she so chooses, and then when evaluating the colour itself, work on the premise of "a reasonable attempt at accuracy" has been displayed.--Rich Chrysler

Looking through the color chip library at ?www.AutocolorLibrary.com ??brought up this page:http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1955-ahmg-pg11.jpg? It shows THREE shades of Healey Blue in use as early as 1957.??? One shade ("H-1 Blue Iridescent") is for 1954, one ("Ice Blue Iridescent") is for later 100's to 1957 (the year of the chip card) and a solid, ie: non-metallic, shade ("Ice? Blue") for the earliest 1953-54 Healeys.? There is also Spruce Green, Carmine Red and Ivory.? I have this same R-M card, and the one shade of blue is definitely non-metallic.What is interesting is that these are not modern recreations of old historic colours, but practical chips meant to repaint cars that were then current, ordinary, on-the-road vehicles.? In other words, 'these shades had better be pretty darn close, or we pay to repaint the customer's car again'.Best regards,? --Peter?

Another case where the bean counters think they know more than the
technical guys, but guess who will get the blame when the ratings
fall?

I gave up on the other shows a long time ago. Almost all of them are guys dressed in outlandish garb with tattoos, hairdos, beards, swearing to their help that they are not working hard enough to complete a job with outlandish timelines. The shows are more about them than in the cars. One exception is the girls who have a repair show and they actually show techniques. My other pet peeve is the series Mighty Ships/Mighty Planes and the ilk which skips showing the ships and planes and how they are constructed but zero in on contrived ?problems?. If, for example, they show a B-52 I would rather see the construction process than ?Joe Blow? and his problems in getting a gauge or something to work taking 20 minutes to do it.

Bitchen rides is still about the design and the cars and the crew is not
screamed at or attacked, but encouraged and light hearted shop games. I'm
pretty tired of fake conflcts And timelines.
Eds China is a class act. Will miss him and most likely the show too
Its almost driving season round these parts. Today I finish 35 radiation
treatments for the return of my cancer. Looking forward to good news and
the return of my energy.

Subject: [Healeys] Last Big Healey?
Steve, We can't do any better than you managing the BJ8 Registry!!! Well done!! Cheers, Doug
Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

Congratulations Steve,
Keep up the good work I'm sure all we Bj8 owners appreciate it.
I certainly encourage all of the owners down under that I come across to
send you their Info
if they haven't already done so.
Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a
special order but there have
been lots of imports since and there are a reasonable number of cars here
now. Patrick might be able
to tell you how many as he was keeping a tally of all of the Healey's in
Australia at one stage.
Afraid I'm one of the guilty ones having stolen a couple from the US over
the years
Cheers
Graeme M

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some
includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020,
recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the
registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list
for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026)
were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a
milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of
the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to

Kimo,
While I am no Concours Judge but having built a BJ8 to Concours standards a few years ago as well as having helped a friend bring his car to similar standards, I would say that this car, according to the few photos available from the auction house, would not go beyond the pre-judging phase. There are simply too many details that have been overlooked, things missing, some installed wrong etc. Here are a few examples, the grille surround is not painted where it meets with the back piece, it's left in chrome, the valve cover tags are installed with pop rivets, the rubber bumpers that are installed on the front shroud where it meets with the hood are all missing, the rubber moulding on th front shroud by the carbs is also missing and that is just at the front.

"Fresh from a restoration done a year ago". I guess that the term " restoration" is used pretty loosely here. Perhaps saying that it has been resprayed would have been more accurate but it would not get bidders as enthusiastic to bring it up even to the lowest estimate. I can see keeping the original seats to show that "patina" makes sense but the very least they could have done is install the piping on the aluminum door trim, the rubber bumpers on the front shroud for the bonnet and the rubber seal for the trunk actually installed on the trunk lid. At the same time they could have secured the spare tire at its proper location with the metal bar and leather belt holding it in place.

Hello Graeme
Still keeping the tally. I can tell you that a total of 11 BJ8s were delivered new to Australia and of these one has gone to Japan and ten are still here. A quick look at my records indicate that there are 371 (+ or - some) in Australia now.

Congratulations Steve,
Keep up the good work I'm sure all we Bj8 owners appreciate it.
I certainly encourage all of the owners down under that I come across to send you their Info if they haven't already done so.
Unfortunately they were never for sale originally in Aust and had to be a special order but there have been lots of imports since and there are a reasonable number of cars here now. Patrick might be able to tell you how many as he was keeping a tally of all of the Healey's in Australia at one stage.
Afraid I'm one of the guilty ones having stolen a couple from the US over the years
Cheers

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to
HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in
the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and
is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the
production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025
was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige.
Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025
wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and
dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they
would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is
available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.

Many thanks to all of you for the kind words. Building and maintaining the registry and using it for the benefit of the Healey community in general and of BJ8 owners in particular has been fun for me, and has given me plenty to do to keep me out of trouble in retirement. I have received immense satisfaction from the positive benefits and unique service the registry has been able to provide for specific owners over the last 19 years.
Although I enter the data and manage the registry, I certainly could never have been able to capture information on 50% of total production by myself. I have been very fortunate to acquire many e-mail friends around the world who believe in the goals of the registry and support it by feeding me information on BJ8s they come across and links to sales on the internet. There are far too many to mention by name, and my sincere thanks and appreciation to all of them, but some stand out and I would like to recognize them especially:
- Richard Vaughan, who has spent countless days of his own time researching for me in the BMIHT archives for the last 15 years or so in order to document the original build details of thousands of BJ8s that would otherwise have been unavailable on a mass basis (and free!).
- Niels Bengaard for scanning the internet daily for 7 years and sending me links, current and historical, and also for specific information about BJ8s in his part of Scandinavia.
- Mell Ward, for sharing her UK 3000 registry with me (BJ8 portion, and minus personal data, of course)
- Patrick Quinn for helping me to account for and keep up with all the BJ8s in Australia.
- Mark Donaldson for covering the territory in New Zealand.
- George and Nathan Bennett for sharing their personal historical databases and keeping me apprised of internet links.
- Iain Torrance for making sure that I am aware of BJ8 sales in the UK.

Len, I assume you are talking about Austin-Healeys since "Healey" for some includes the pre-Austin Healey cars. Anyway, the last LHD BJ8 was 43020, recently offered for sale on eBay. I have no information about 39418 in the registry, but what you say is interesting. I'll have to add it to my list for research.
The last by chassis number was 43026.
The last on the production line was 43000.
The last Metallic Golden Beige was 43025.
The last BRG was 43020.
The last Healey Blue was 43021.
The last Healey Blue/Ivory White was 43023.
The last Ivory White was 43026.
The last Colorado Red was 42971.
All cars from 42991 to 43020 were BRG.
The car with the latest shipping date from the factory (except for 43026) were actually two: 38734 and 42758, on 19 Feb 68.
This seems like a good time to announce that the BJ8 Registry reached a milestone today: we now have data, records, and history for exactly 50% of the total BJ8 production (8,856 of 17,712). Hip, Hip, Hooray!
We could do better if more people would submit the details of their car to the registry.

Steve,
Good of you to try and set the record straight. I can't imagine an auction
buyer geting what he thinks is "the last one" would be too happy finding
out that it isn't. Like the various claims of 100Ms and LeMans cars, I
guess it's *caveat emptor.*
BTW, did you happen to notice this BJ8 with the "different" engine paint on
BaT: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-austin-healey-3000-bj8-mk-iii-2/
Best,
Rick

Rick obviously, the registry data can be beneficial to a potential buyer but possibly not so beneficial to a seller. It is not the intention to favor either one, but having seen a lot of BJ8s offered for sale with some really wild statements, whenever I can offer proof to refute those I will do so. Sometimes owners are happy to learn the truth about their car, and sometimes they don't want to hear it, but it is what it is.
I did see the bringatrailer ad for 38307. The color on the valve cover is not exactly "Healey engine green", but close enough to make one wonder whether it is original. It appears to have been painted long ago, but anything could have happened in the last 50 years, including a repaint.

Am I the only one that thinks this car being 'the last of ... whatever' adds no particular cachet? I'd rather have a well-preserved, low-mileage survivor--with rough but original paint--or a top-of-the-line concours resto, in the middle of the production pack. But, my cars are for driving, not bragging rights (well, except for the 'M').

Good point, Bob. So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed
to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense. What makes a car with
"matching numbers" more valuable than one with a replaced engine built to
the same specification? Cars at the beginning or end of production, why
are they more valuable? Cars owned by celebrities, who cares what famous
butt sat in the driver's seat? And of course, no offense, why is a factory
100M so much more valuable than one fitted with a LeMans kit (can it be the
hi-comp pistons?) As Steve (and the greatest football coach of all time)
say, it is what it is.

I agree 100%.
I just hit 90k miles on my BN7 with a red engine block, gold valve cover, red seats with dark brown and black interior, said to be one of the first 10 of BN7 out of the U.K.
Everything works, I drive it on the street and occasionally on a track and get great pleasure from it.
My 89 turbo Porsche 930 has gotten too valuable to drive in many instances and stays on my lift way too much; not so with my Healey !
Regards,
Richard C
BN 7 440

Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read ------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however, he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness, having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

Re: the bringatrailer ad for 38507. My BJ8, only a relatively few cars later, has flex down-pipes, two mufflers and two resonators across the back with the exhaust coming out on the right (as opposed to 'left', not 'wrong') side. Looking at Moss, it would appear that the installed system is for a BN4 - BJ7. I guess that this was a choice by the PO?
What is the switch on the dash next to the glove compartment for? I do not recall ever seeing a similar one. Standard option or something added by the PO?

I am of the opinion that all these items like matching numbers, first off the line, last one built etc. are nothing but auction lexicon to try to get more money for a car they have on consignment and therefore make more money for the sometimes 5 minutes they spend selling a particular vehicle.
There is little doubt, getting a catalogue ready for a sale is no small task, then getting the car at the site, the paperwork afterwards etc, it all cost something but since most well know auction house get 10% from the seller and the buyer, there is a lot of money at stake for them and the few key words they can add to attract a buyer, they'll do it to create a market.

Good point, Bob. So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense. What makes a car with "matching numbers" more valuable than one with a replaced engine built to the same specification? Cars at the beginning or end of production, why are they more valuable? Cars owned by celebrities, who cares what famous butt sat in the driver's seat? And of course, no offense, why is a factory 100M so much more valuable than one fitted with a LeMans kit (can it be the hi-comp pistons?) As Steve (and the greatest football coach of all time) say, it is what it is.
Rick Neville
Am I the only one that thinks this car being 'the last of ... whatever' adds no particular cachet? I'd rather have a well-preserved, low-mileage survivor--with rough but original paint--or a top-of-the-line concours resto, in the middle of the production pack. But, my cars are for driving, not bragging rights (well, except for the 'M').

Good point, Bob. So many of the things in the car hobby that are supposed to add value to a car don't make a lot of sense.

While originality has a value, it is all in the eye of the beholder.
If a car belonged to, say, Steve McQueen and you have all the documentation
going back to when it was sold to him then it has provenance and provably so:
what you are prepared to pay for that is up to you. Previous ownership depends
on your taste, after all Hitler's Mercedes found a buyer. I wouldn't want it.
Consider race cars and rally Healeys which command probably the highest premiums
of all. Most cars were modified or rebuilt after each event and throughout the
period in which they were campaigned in line with changing technologies and in
some cases rules. As a result they have very few bits that were in place when
they rolled off the production line. Yes the parts were fitted by a BL
engineer/technician but everyone on this list knows what that can mean! That
doesn't prevent them from being "authentic". Such a car cannot be considered to
be "original" in that it doesn't have the same components with which it left the
factory.
A very interesting case concerns the Bentley widely known as "Old Number One" in
which the originality and "genuineness" of the car and its value were in dispute
and which ended up in a twelve-day trial. The judgement is here:
http://www.gomog.com/articles/no1judgement.html
As far as I am aware it hasn't been superceded in English Law. It's probably
also in several other places too. It's very interesting and well worth a read.

Ken,
I've always used just two threaded rods, placed diagonally. For one set,
I pinned a nut on one end of each rods. I've not run across the factory
tool, Churchill 18G37.

Subject: [Healeys] Phenolic spacers
I am reinstalling the H6 carbs after rebuilding them and I hope to wrap up
everything tomorrow. The Moss kit came with two phenolic spacers about 3/8"
thick that mount to the outer face of the carburetor bodies, assumedly
between the face and the air cleaners.
My car is a Le Mans and cold air box was mounted directly to the carbs
without any blocks. Using them would make it just that much more difficult
to get the cold air box and the hose and hose adaptor in place. It would
also result in the fuel bowl overflow tubes not reaching the grommeted
holes in the box.
What function do the blocks serve, are they normally found when CAB's are
mounted (as opposed to air cleaners) and if so what harm might be caused by
not using them?

Michael,
The the phenolic spacers are insulators. On other cars they would be
installed between the manifold and the heat shield and/or the heat
shield and the carbs.
But these match the CAB side of the carb body, not the manifold side?
Interesting.
Not much help, sorry.

Bob--
To clarify, the kit came with four phenolic blocks or spacers.
Two are square with scalloped sides and four holes and mount between the
carbs and the intake manifold face.
Two more are diamond shaped with two holes each to accept bolts to mount
either air cleaners or a CAB.
I assume they would provide some insulating value to minimize heat transfer
from the carb body to the filter or CAB but I really cannot see that this
would have any effect on the temperature of inlet air.

And, the CABs are a PITA to remove and attach WITHOUT any more spacers
(probably why so many original ones are missing). We got a repop for
our M, but I'm considering installing some other type of filter for
normal, 'daily' use.

Bob--
After further consideration--as well as impatience and laziness--I decided
to skip the spacers. As you say, fitting the CAB is difficult enough
without pushing everything further out under the shroud.
Just took car for a shakedown and all seems good. In the process of
removing, rebuilding and refitting the carbs I also managed to lose an
annoying rattle that would only appear under acceleration between 3000 and
3500 rpms. It has been there for about five years and no matter what I did
I could not find its source. Good riddance!

Per the shop manual: When reassembling the rocker gear, commence with the
No. 4 bracket and secure the oil feed pipe with the washers in position,
ensuring that the dowel on the banjo bolt locates in the rocker shaft.
I should have checked the manual first.

Subject: [Healeys] Phenolic spacers
Don't know about your particular kits, but I do know many of the carb kits they sell these days are packaged so they fit a wide variety of cars with the same or similar carbs. The last kit I got for some Zenith Stromberg 175CDs had enough "extra" parts, including diaphragms for 150CDs, to rebuild another set of carbs. Point being just because it is in the kit doesn't mean it is meant for your car.
I would use the gasket to make a good seal between carb and air cleaner and not worry about the insulating block.

Mike--
Nope--In my first post I wrote "My car is a Le Mans and the cold air box
was mounted directly to the carbs without any blocks."
However it might very well have been the CAB itself--in any caae all seems
good now.

You're probably correct and the suggestion you made in your last paragraph

The phenolic spacers are usually used to get the proper mounting distance
from the exhaust manifolds for various applications - they come in many
different sizes. If your car didn't have them, there's no need for them.
Interestingly, on later smog equipped cars, they put a air heater in that
spot to better vaporize the mixture.

Mine is pristine with no signatures to deface it and I would probably let it go for around $500 or more, heh, heh, heh.....
I have found several errors in that book related to BJ8s (what book doesn't have errors?) and discussed them with Gary Anderson. Unfortunately, there are no plans by the publisher to issue an update or errata sheet. I guess that makes the original edition more valuable.

Sounds like mine. I wonder how many later purchasers of the now out
of print Guide also have the four pages of single spaced Corrections
and Additions from 2001. Doesn't matter if you're not going to use
the book ;-)

Subject: [Healeys] Caliper Piston Dustcover
Hi, If anyone is still out there.
I got the caliper apart and cleaned (thanks all) and now I'm having trouble
getting the pistons in with the dust covers.
I can get the piston in or I can get the dust cover seated in its slot in
the cylender. I can't get both.
If I put the piston in first I can't get the cover into its slot. If I put
the cover in first I can't keep it in position and while installing the
piston.
I know I've done this back in the day and I don't remember having any
problem (or maybe I just said "Screw It!" and only fit the cover to the
piston).
Cheers,
Mike Tobin,
Townsend, Montana

Roger can provide an new version, I'd be glad to update it.

Subject: [Healeys] Caliper Piston Dustcover
Mike, I had the same issue on my TR250 (same brakes as a BJ8). Spent the better part of a Saturday trying to get them on, got a couple on, tore a couple, ordered another kit.
The new kit was much easier, though still a bit finicky, the rubber was slightly thinner and it made everything fit much better. I don't remember where I sourced either, but the first set was obviously not that well made.
Also if you are working with used parts make sure the grooves and everything are cleaned out very thoroughly.

I was looking for something to clean off some oil spreading around the fill and drain plugs of the differential so I could paint it. ?Here in California any chemical that works is banned. ?It's impossible to find a degreaser that works. ?Looking around the Internet I found a brake and parts cleaner in a spray can made by Wurth. ?It says on the can, "Not for retail sale", but you can buy it at Pegasus Racing for less than 6 bucks. ?I sprayed the oil on the diff with this stuff and waited for it to dry. ?There was no runoff on the ground below where I sprayed, but when it was dry the oil was gone and it was bone dry. ?What makes this so good in this case is the diff had been sand blasted to a rough surface. ?I did not think it would be easy to get out. ?Heck I got to buy more of this stuff. ?No financial interest, just a very satisfied customer.

Wurth makes the best non-chlorinated brake cleaner available. Removes grease, oil, and brake dust and dries quickly without residue. Harmless to most plastics.

Hi Mike,
Installing those dust covers can be very difficult however with patience and liberal application of brake grease it can be achieved.
First, as Greg mentioned it it imperative that both the grooves in the body are scrupulously clean. Scrape around with a dental pick to ensure that any rust is removed.
Now insert the piston seal fully into the lower groove being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs. Apply a little brake grease to it.
Next insert the lower lip of the dust seal into the upper groove again being sure to press it fully home with your thumbs.
Now lightly? press the closed end of the greased piston against the dust seal and use a small wire hook to lift the outer lip of the dust seal onto the outside of the piston.
Now it will be possible to wiggle the piston? into the bore through both seals. DO NOT FORCE IT IN. LIGHT THUMB PRESSURE SHOULD BE ALL THAT IS REQUIRED.
Finally use a dental pic to guide the outer lip of the dust seal into its groove in the piston.
Only 3 to go...

Is my memory playing me up or, having stripped and split the caliper, doesn?t one fit pistons while it?s still split? (Just the once, as one splits the calipers, say, every 50 years.)

I built one using your dad's design. Worked great for me. I disassembled
it after using it for my BJ7. Still have all the pieces if someone wants
it. I'm located in western New York State.
Thanks,

This may seem like a silly question...
How much does a bare frame weigh and how do you get it on and off the
stands? It has to weigh more after attaching suspension and other bits.
Very clever solution

Subject: [Healeys] BJ8 Oil Filter
I'm about to change the oil on a BJ8 equipped with a spin-on filter (probably from Moss). I can't read the filter part number while on the engine and would prefer to purchase a new one prior to removing the old. Would some kind BJ8 owner know what filter to use?
TIA

The frame and structure is a two-man lift. My step son rolled it out of my barn up to the ramp truck, we were able to roll it up the ramp with one person on each stand. We then disconnected it from the stands for transport.
We got to the shop and carried it off the truck and into the shop. We then inserted the black rotating pieces back into the stands.
You can have one guy in the back and one up front. Both lift to proper height, while one gets his into the stand. Then the other. Obviously easier with three people, but we did it without a hitch. It was all much more stable than even I expected. When working on the car, one person can rotate the car without fear of tipping. I would not use these stands with a bigger car, but for the Healey it was great. The two stands cost under $400, plus about another $70 in steel from McMaster-Carr. Plus I can sell one of the stands. It's for sale for say $90. Note that I modified the stands so that the rotating angle would be parallel to the ground. Drilled one additional hole to set the proper angle. It can be switched back and forth in 10 minutes.
And yes I installed all brake and fuel lines, all electrics, and other small items while still on the stands. I took the car off the stands before I installed the suspension.

Actually I'm forgetting. I was able to get most of the suspension on also while still on the stands. Then I took it off and sat it on wire spool stands that were being thrown away where I work.
Back on wire spool stands.

Good Morning,
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, my family and i came down
here to Marseille on a short trip.Unfortunately we were mugged at the park
of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and mobile phone were
stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us.
I made contact with my bank but it would take me 5 working days to
access funds in my account,the bad news is our flight will be leaving in
less than 8-hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills
and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.
I'll need your help financially and i promise to make the refund once we
get back home,Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to
keep checking your email because it's the only way i can reach you.
I anticipate your response

Good Morning,
????? I'm writing this with tears in my eyes, my family and i came down here to Marseille on a short trip.Unfortunately we were mugged at the park of the hotel where we stayed all cash,credit card and mobile phone were stolen off us but luckily we still have our passports with us.
??????? I made contact with my bank but it would take me 5 working days to access funds in my account,the bad news is our flight will be leaving in less than 8-hrs from now but we're having problems settling the hotel bills and the hotel manager won't let us leave until we settle the bills.
I'll need your help financially and i promise to make the refund once we get back home,Please let me know if i can count on you and i need you to keep checking your email because it's the only way i can reach you.?I anticipate your response

Dear Marion,
I'm a little short of funds right now, but if you look up my friend Alain
Charnier in Marseille, he's in a tight spot right now and may be able to
help. He needs some welding done on the rocker panels of his Lincoln
Continental Mk III for which he'll gladly pay handsomely and a guy with
your skills should be able to do the job. Oh, a couple of things. Don't
ask any questions and look out for a guy named "Popeye" when you get back.

Well guys, It?s been a long time, and now I?ve got to let my Healey hobby go. I?ve been on this list since the 90s and with life getting in the way I just haven?t been able to do my car justice.

Currently has stock engine (not running).
New Zealand Minilites (bolt on wheels)
full set of factory steel wheels and hubcaps
bolt on hubs for disk brakes
brackets and other bit for disk brake conversion (front)
Rear brake conversion brackets for rear.
Overdrive transmission (working fine)
3000 engine rebuilt long block .030 over
Schneider 2860 cam
Bolton lightened flywheel
Smitty kit on Toyota transmission w/prop shaft
tri carb manifold 1 3/4
Two different triple Weber manifolds
three weber DCOE 40 carbs with rebuild kits
tri carb exhaust manifold
dual carb exhaust manifolds
Putzke Bilstein kit
New wiring harness in box
rally bumperettes
7? Lucas flamethrowers
Hardtop w/new perspex and rubber ready to rebuild
tons of other extras
Not sure how much to ask, but some reasonable offer will work.Thanks for looking, and helping find a good home.

Hi All
Would anyone be able to recognise the car and or the track where this
photo was taken. Somewhere in NE USA I think.
I need this info to placate FIA re my Lotus 18.
Any info or ideas welcome

I don?t know how much it weighs but I used my engine hoist to get it on.
Maybe someday I can use the hoist to get it off?

This may seem like a silly question...
How much does a bare frame weigh and how do you get it on and off the stands? It has to weigh more after attaching suspension and other bits.
Very clever solution

John,
Here's a listing of some of the Lotus18 entries in the US:
http://www.racingsportscars.com/type/Lotus/18.html If you go to the
section listed "full archives" there is more info. I couldn't find any
listing of a car wearing "11" but if you had a driver's name or chassis
number, you might get some more info.
Best,
Rick Neville

John,
are you sure that that is an FJ car and not F1? If the circuit is in the NE I
was wondering whether the circuit was Mosport, the curve looks a bit like Moss.
Ok it's not the US but it sort of looks like it. What was the source of the photo?

Hello Rick,
Time does march on. When I began the research in preparation for the restoration of my 1960 BT7 around 1999-2000, the work on your car was one of my resources! Sorry to see you moving on, but best wishes and thanks for the help!!

Interesting, although I'd say a similar car today would actually sell for
around $45k. I did the same comparison with the bugeye's price of $1795
and in today's money it would be $15k. I don't know what car you could buy
for that today and would guess a modern day bugeye would be around
$23k-$25k. This just probably shows that the cost of cars as a percentage
of income has increased and we pay more up front for increased safety,
mileage, lower emissions and increased longevity.

Seeing as the Healey was about the price of Vette, I guess anew Healey
would cost in $80K plus range today.
I paid $500.00 in 1975 for my car $2260.00 in today's money. I worked a
lot of hours to pay for that car. Of course I have put around $30K into it
restoring it over the last 42 years

Hi All
Would anyone be able to recognise the car and or the track where this photo
was taken. Somewhere in NE USA I think.
I need this info to placate FIA re my Lotus 18.
Any info or ideas welcome
Cheers from West OZ

In 1968 I paid $800 dollars for a 1962 tricarb. After painting a couple of times, rebuilding the engine and redoing the interior (in vinyl) I sold it in 1973 for $3,000. It also had a hard top.
