Hi, I was wondering if you can tell me which parts you're not able to find for the Austin Healey.
I've got a complete one and I am busy to find out which parts are in need.
I would like to know which parts are in need among you Healey fans. I can tell you more about how I can help here a bit later.

longbridge side screen hardware, specifically the brackets that attach to the frames, actually the whole assemblies are different.

Also the little star nut that holds the front of the side screens.

here is a pic. I think I have about a dozen or two ready for plating.

Good day Blurg, most people try and locate originals that may be restored, or of course the usual supply houses stock lots of new parts.
I would think mechanical items such as exhaust manifolds and intake manifolds, or perhaps 1st gear and reverse gears.

They have been reproduced and now are less expensive than the used ones that were for sale.

Someone said the same thing in a thread a few months ago, and when I ran it down it wasn't true. There was only a poor substitute from a VW or some such.

If they have in fact now been reproduced, how about a link to the relevant page of the supplier's website? Thanks.
 
Ed S. I believe I have a source for an original set of tri-carb inlet manifolds. If you are interested, send me a PM.
