Hi Anthony,

Go to the North Texas Austin Healey Club (NTAHC) website. Don Lenschow makes a bracket kit for the conversion.

Wasnt he doing pumpkins as well?
ie 4.11 to 3.56 conversions?

I think you are thinking of Michael Lempert for the pumpkin conversion. I got one and really like it.

Hi Anthony,
Hendrix Wire Wheel sells a kit also. I think it may be Don's since he wrote the instructions on HWW the site. I bought the basic kit and an alternator locally.

Re: buying an alternator?

Guys, thanks very helpfull, gregw, ill probably go the route you did buying the brackets etc. and purchasing the alt. locally. those brackets arent anything special that i/we couldnt make ourselves but for the time it takes its worth just buying them. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thankyousign.gif
