Hello Bundyrum,
Bundaburg in Queensland is the home of bundy rum. A very nice place, not too far from the Whitsundays.
Now to gearboxes, yes I have contacted the Healey Factory and no, they do not have a replacement part. Denis Welch has the complete Sebring conversion.
I have taken the parts to a gearbox mechanic (manual gearbox only specialist) he has advised me that delamination of the syncro cone is very common with this type of syncro set up. Here I am in the hands of the experts.
The 1st motion shaft from Denis Welsh has the some treatment eg. molly coated cone.
If no one has tried to fit bronze cones to a healey bj8 box,then I shall give it a go by cylindricaly grindig off the molly, have a syncro ring cast then machine to allow for the removed molly. If this does not work then it will be to Denis Welsh for replacements.
Thanks and regards. Trevor9.
