Thread: 65 AUstin Healey

My ex had one of those which was a real bastard to start. Couple of years after that I totally rebuilt a MG Midget in the shed. Now that was a lot of fun, sold it to do a trip to Europe

super charger is long gone, it was back in about 1966 when i sold it. drive a lotus 7 replica I built from scratch now.

Bugger want one for my MGA and another for my 32 Hornet

Go nitrous instead

I'm on that already!

Engine extraction today me hopes, hard work gettin a clutch plate, pressure plate and carbon thrust bearing, will reassess once out, have to fix some @Happy leaks!

Don't worry about the leaks original is where its at

There used to be a place in England, Birmingham called Spriget and they had a heap of parts for both the Midget and the Sprite. My oil gauge was shagged so when I was mucking about in Pomgolia I made a visit to Birmingham and purchased a new one. I did have a book that showed all the parts that they had in shop I can say that the list was extensive.

There,s also a place in Aussie that has parts for the Sprite

You could always put one of the little Toyota superchargers on it

I'd rather fly to England than drive to Motat

the clutch plate and pressure plate can be reconed, carbon thrust should not be too hard to get hold of, try Waikato Brake and Clutch in Hamilton they do this in house.Machine your flywheel as well. yea i am a brake and clutch specialist in Taupo.

Thanks for that, I can get a plate and a thrust OK, pressure plate I can get but just the dollars, Supercheap $780 for the set, Repco $480 but can't get? I will probably get one from Moss in the USA get a mate to send it to me from their, SC Parts in the UK hurt! But I think I might be OK thrust is not worn and I'm about to strip the rest now. Will work out anything else an buy direct from off shore! I picked up a rack and pinion RH drive from Argentina, they make them over there.
