This topic was discussed at lenght at a recent club meeting: Green Light On: means Jensen is on and working. ...   02-27-2006 04:55 pm

John- let us know the year and VIN, that's seems to be the overriding factor on which cars have what. On the general undercoating- I'm of ...   02-17-2006 10:29 pm

Sorry, not paying enough attention- I was talking about SIDE moulding actually, the stuff further up on the side of the car. As for SILL ...   02-16-2006 11:44 pm

I think Jim's comments are spot on. Many Federal cars did not have side moulding installed. My current JH never had it installed and never ...   02-16-2006 09:42 pm

It's the same header. The coating depends on your budget of course, as it will almost double the cost, but I would say a ceramic ...   02-13-2006 06:25 pm

Speaking of body and panel repair- FYI the club has a set of rotisserie brackets (you'll need to supply the jack part) that bolt onto ...   02-10-2006 05:48 pm

Can anyone tell me what size nuts are used to mount the side marker lights to the inside of the body? I beleive these are ...   01-30-2006 04:16 pm

FYI, we had a software problem yesterday that needed some attention (each request was causing the database to go into an infinite loop and cause ...   01-30-2006 03:55 pm

Your correct records might be off the books, as far as the DMV is concerned. In California, there are companies that specialize in auto title ...   01-27-2006 04:02 pm

Wow! Thanks Mitch, that is very helpful. Is this board great or what? Unfortunately, I am missing this part- if anyone has a parts car ...   01-25-2006 04:38 pm

OK guys, I need some help- I've actually spent time working on my car recently (just ignore that jumble of wires), but I'm stumped on ...   01-25-2006 12:56 am

I had on occasion once, many years ago with very low oil pressure that puzzled me. I removed the oil pump relief valve and found ...   01-18-2006 08:07 pm

Perfect! ...   01-18-2006 07:59 pm

Your sentiments are much appreciated, thanks for thinking of me guys! Parts-wise, I really don't need much, maybe a good rear metal bumper, but that's ...   01-16-2006 10:11 pm

Looking good Erik! If you can control the moisture into the trunk, I don't think your foam will be anything to worry about. Sounds odd, but ...   11-30-2005 04:01 pm

These are getting harder to find, I'd try Dave Bean Engineering or JAE. When the cost was $285 for a set, it seemed like a ...   11-03-2005 01:14 pm

The world of Jensen Healey tops is a strange one. This soft top is fairly complex and if it's not cut properly, the owner will ...   10-24-2005 03:58 pm

I think I'd stay away from DIY tank sealers, at least for the inside. From what I've seen the hobby stuff doesn't give me much ...   10-20-2005 08:53 pm

Thanks for the thumbs up Brett! Proceeds of the club patch go directly to running the club, so everybody wins on that one. http://www.jensenhealey.com/images/patch.jpg Click here to ...   10-19-2005 10:59 pm

Blow-by is unpleasant. I've experienced hotter temps with three cylinders that had marginal compression and one cylinder that was quite bad- the three were doing ...   10-17-2005 06:03 pm

My understanding is that US Radiators makes some pretty junky stuff, typical big auto parts chain rubbish these days. They are notorious for failure and ...   10-07-2005 06:02 pm

Moly rings are superior in durability and longer life, although the break-in period is longer. The rule of thumb is that moly rings tend to ...   10-06-2005 09:45 pm

Worn points can cause that of course too, be sure to check that right off. Just a note on the SU fuel pumps- I have always ...   09-22-2005 04:11 pm

The 4 speeds can be a bit whiny, more so as time goes on. Rebuilt ones always seem to whine the most, not sure why ...   09-21-2005 08:07 pm

I think the 40mm Dellortos are great on the JH (it's what they came with from the Factory, of course, on non-Federal cars) and tend ...   09-15-2005 04:55 pm

Waiting for Jim to read this thread may not be very practical. I'm sure he'd be happy to chat on the phone however. Look guys- ...   09-14-2005 12:26 am

We Jensen owners must address this sad state of affairs. I'm appalled and dismayed that the National Meet has come to this. In past National ...   09-13-2005 04:01 pm

Friday afternoon I counted 20 Jensens- 13 Interceptors and 7 Jensen Healeys. Kudos to the organizers, I know it's a thankless and time consuming job ...   09-12-2005 05:53 pm

OK, Magicalswitch- I guess I'm just in classic mode. I see the "money is no object-it's my hobby-why should should it make sense?" thing going ...   09-11-2005 05:58 pm

I don't see much of a point for all this- what is the goal? Just shaving off a few pounds for a road car seems ...   09-10-2005 10:07 pm

The stainless steel fuel tanks that Delta sold a while back were discontinued because they leaked! Welding stainless steel properly is a demanding task. The ...   09-06-2005 04:10 pm

The Halogen Headlight - ZZ Beam headlight is at jhps.com--Warehouse--Electrical. They're $29.95 each and are an excellent light. The amount of extra light on the ...   09-03-2005 05:36 pm

I have a gang of Delta bushings sitting here I'd be happy to sell, but I must tell you, you get what you pay for. ...   09-02-2005 10:18 pm

I have personally witnessed one Jensen Healey roadster and one GT that had functional air conditioning, so I can state for the record that A/C ...   08-31-2005 10:00 pm

Just my 2 cents: Wheel adaptors are not all created equal. In a perfect world, you would use only a very high quality, hub centric, ...   08-16-2005 08:52 pm

It's not like lots of grinds don't exist already. There are a plethora of grinds, but as I, like many others, have experienced first hand ...   08-11-2005 04:10 pm

Did you try Delta? ...   08-10-2005 06:52 pm

Be sure the parking brake is off (obvious, but sometimes overlooked). On my old '73 JH with the Girling rear brakes, I always had a ...   08-05-2005 04:07 pm

I use Loctite 515 on the threads. It's an anaerobic sealer that is designed for use as a gasket eliminator and flange sealant- I use ...   07-20-2005 11:05 pm
