I'm writing this article to address the problems with converting the original panel lights that are inadequate and frequently burn out just when you need them the most. I first converted my 1963 AH BJ7 to Pos Battery before converting, I’m not sure if this is necessary but the red LED’s are marked POS/NEG on the base and you have to be careful when installing in the wedge base.

Just met a BCF member

I’m currently in Tucson. Rode my bike over to get a coffee and saw a beautiful Austin Healey. It belongs to BCF member dajamies.

Re: Wheels, tires, hubs and axles

You can get lucky on e bay and find some good hub caps. I had to replace 1 as one of the ones that came with the car was rusty.

Re: Datsun 240Z aluminumn brake drums?

I've no idea if these will fit but they are listed for the 240Z. Quite expensive too at $229 each.

And funny, too, is that the location of this sign would make it seen upon DEPARTURE! Like... it's too late... run to your car while holding your breath.

Hi All,
When, on my Healey 100 BN1, (with a BN2 gearbox with OD), I switch the OD on, both the slow blow 50A AND 35A fuses blow. Any ideas why?
