A quiet week on the Healey front. Managed to look at the cost of hinges and found that they are about £50-£60 plus for second hand items so decided I needed to resurrect the items I had. I looked on Ahead 4 Healeys web site and couldn't see a separate bush/pin set to decided against stripping it into its various components. So back in the garage and despite having been soaked in lubricant for a week the hinge was locked solid. I didn't want to go down the big hammer road because I thought it might be a tad brittle so I resorted to the Oxy-Acetylene heat it and hope method. It worked. Now both hinges are free and awaiting a door and an A-post to mount to.
I am getting the parts back from Norfolk this weekend which will give me plenty to do. Although it does mean missing ths classic car show but one can't have everything.
