Retrospect, I think we all genuinely wish you well with your rebuild and would welcome some more pics as things progress. I regret not being able to offer you more direct help but my M3W knowledge is even more limited than my 4 wheel!
On forums it is easy to jump to conclusions when there is little to go on. This is a good example and proves a point I was trying to make that some basic introduction and info up front is not only a friendly way of saying hi, but also goes a long way to avoid assumptive errors that are so easy to make.
Wouldn't mind seeing a photo of your replica healey too!
