Hello Folks, I believe most folks here don't know me but I post on the Austin Healey forum quite a bit. I have a '63 Healey 3000 and an MGB plus a few other cars but, I do work for other peoples cars at times. Next week I am receiving a '52 TD to make some repairs. I have worked on many LBCs including an MGA which I restored, but I have never worked on a T-series before.
I thought I would mention this to all of you in hopes that you can give me some tips on what I might run into.
From what I have been told the brakes are hard but don't stop the car, the carb fuel bowls leak but tapping on them will stop the discharge, and the clutch has its issues meaning that they say you have to push the pedal all the way to the floor hard and then it is hard to get it into 1st or reverse gears and they have broken the clutch cable more than once.
I appreciate any help you can give me. This car will be a little new to me. Thanks again Dave.
