I oredred a complete set of carpets and interior for a Healey from
Heritage.
Much of it did not fit and had to be redone. Not what to expect at their
prices. When I asked for demensions on another item, the employee
appologetically replied that when he went to look the owner yelled at him
told him to get back to work that they had no time for such things.
Apparently the owner thinks they are the only one in the business. Buyer

One of the "relic" drivers is sitting next to me right now - Harvey
Schnaer. We have heard the wonderful stories of the two trips to England
(GRAB - Grand Rally Around Britain). I was on the GRANE (Grand Rally
Around New England) eleven years ago and that was a blast also.
I will ask Stan if there is a possibility of posting this to the list, or
possibly to the TC Motoring Guild web site - tcmotoringguild. org - an
excellent web site.
I was given permission to print a copy in the Abingdon RoughRider Bulletin
this month from Stan.

Subject: AW: Steering Box Grease
Dear Chip Old,
Now you explained about the about the consistency of grease.
Can you please explain the new colour code and other specification. Few
months back a friend of mine gave three or four different type modern
grease. One is silicon free, cream colour. The other is blue in colour. I
did not want to mix up this old TC grease.
Thank you in advance.

The recent thread on the use of Model T Ford or Volkswagen steering gear
grease in the Bishop Cam gearbox reminded me of an obscure bit of
technical data I had squirreled away somewhere. I finally found it.
To most people "grease" means common chassis grease, which is meant to
stay in place and not flow much, if at all. This makes it unsuitable for
use in a steering box because it can't flow around and into the parts that
need to be lubricated. Grease is classified by the National Lubricating
Grease Institute (NLGI) according to its fluidity, similar to how motor
oil and gear oil are given SAE viscosity ratings:
NLGI Consistency At
Number Room Temperature
------ ----------------
000 very fluid
00 fluid
0 semi-fluid
1 very soft
2 soft
3 medium hard
4 hard
5 very hard
6 extremely hard
Chassis grease normally has a NLGI-3 rating. The Model T and Volkswagen
steering gear greases are probably NLGI-0, or maybe even 00 or 000. You
may or may not find that information on the container.
NLGI-0 grease, often called "zero grease", is a good choice for the Bishop
Cam box. It's much thicker than SAE 140 gear oil, so is less likely to
leak out, but it is fluid enough to flow into everything in the box that
needs lubrication.
You're not likely to find zero grease at your local auto supply store.
Zero grease is widely used in industrial and agricultural equipment, so
try suppliers that specialize in those markets.
The NLGI is a US organization. I don't know if the NLGI rating system is
used outside the US.

Subject: Re: Source for New TC Carpets
Thom,
A few years back I purchased a set of carpets from Heritage. They are nice
BUT, I wan't impressed
with the way they fitted. I had to do a LOT of trimming. For the money, I'd
go with MOSS.
I had also purchased a set of Leather Seats Covers for my TC from Heritage.
At that tinme they had told me that there were complete
instructions on their website. But, they also tried to convince me to send
my seat to them and have them do the work.
After purchasing them I went on their website to look at these instructions
(They give you a code in order
to do so once you purchase the item). There wasn't any! After finally
getting through to them (I had to threaten to send the covers back),
they admitted that they had never instealled a set of MG-TC seats before!
Luckily for me I have experience in Leather work! They didn't have
a Dart in the Seat Squad cover and there was a lot of rework to get them to
fit correctly. And, they boast that they are made in UK with
Connolly Hides. That issue I have with them when I opened the box and there
was paper label "Made in Canada".
I wrote an article on installing the covers, complete with pictures and it
was published in the British Marque Car Club News a few years back. Anybody
interested can contact them for a copy of the Article. Oh yeah, Heritage
heard about the Article and asked me for permission to
place it on their website. Permission was denied.
Tally Ho! Ho!
