100-6 on Leno's Garage

IMO, Jay's wrong about engaging the OD 'under power.' After rebuilding my OD--which I had engaged like that for over 30 years--I realized that if you do, the cone clutch is engaging under load, hence prone to slipping a bit and wearing (new clutches are not available, best I've seen are rebuilt from DWM). I put the clutch in a couple inches, then hit the switch, and let the clutch out, and there is never a 'clunk.' Note Jay didn't know the name of the OD manufacturer.
 
Caught this earlier, I like the ride height and subtle custom wheel arches. I lean towards the original Healey front grill though.
 
Cool video. The mods look ok, but hard to improve on the stock Healey design. I could almost tell that the owner wasn't totally comfortable being in the passenger's seat.
