Where I can find a detailed frame Drawing ?

[germanmichel]

Hello,
I´m brandnew here, see my introduce post. I´m from germany, please excuse my bad english . At my BT7 MKI I a have to fix a accident challenge.. In result of the hit, are the front ends of the frame you say chassis? are turned in his length axis. So I have to measure the frame dimensions. In my manual I found a sketch with the main dimensions, but the drawing is very small and in bad quality. Also the positions of the wishbone supports are not dimensioned.
Is here someone who know, where I can find a detailed dimensioned drawing ?

Thank you in advance.

Bye Michel- who enjoy the next no working days (1th May)


Someone who find a mistake, can have it for his one..

See if you can find something here:

The chassis drawing can be "zoomed" to large size to read the details. "chassis.tiff.jfx"

I saved it to disk, opened it, & viewed it in "Preview" program on a MAC.

Hello;

A detailed frame drawing for the 100-6 to 3000 BJ7 can be found at: https://www.ahcso.com/TechTalk/TechTalk.htm

The source is DHM Co. 11B5529 - per Larry Varley’s website at https://www.acmefluid.com.au/larry/healeydraw.html I tidied & enhanced the drawing found at that web site back in 2001 for my own purposes.

I do have it in a large jpg file [2.4 Megs]. If you would like a copy, email me at jstmorris@yahoo.com and I will send it. I also have the relevant workshop manual pages in pdf format.

Hello Dave and Scott,

thank you very much for the weblinks. This was an "overnight support" . The drawings are really in high quality.
"Larry" is for me the real healey-hero ( beginning with a rusty wrack). I know this side but I did not found the drawings before.
But the positions of the wisbone mountingsupports (the angle to main chassis rail)are not defined.
What are the usal way to check/fix the position ?
Do it on the old british way....measure over the thumb and fix it ? :thumbsup:
I heard from a body shop that the normal way is to weld a new wisbone mountingsupport on the old weldseam position with a paralell adjustment to the main chassis rail.
Do you think it is good way ?

Thank you and have a nice public holiday

Michel- who spend the public holiday (also fatherday in germany) with his kids on a children celebration...

I had to replace one lower wishbone mount on my BJ8. To do so, I assembled the entire front suspension, including the shock, lower control arms, spring pan, spindle and trunions, but left the spring out. Then I mounted the new lower control arm mounting bracket to the control arm, and there was very little choice about where it went. After tack welding, I checked for full up and down, unbinding travel. Being assured that all seemed to work, I then finished the welding. This won't work quite as easily if you have to replace both mounts at one time, but you might take careful measurements from the other side, tack weld one mount at at time, and check for unimpeded travel, then finish the welding. Worked for me, but others may have better methods.
