Almost every Bugeye that comes to us has been improperly jacked at some point in it life. If you find yourself needing to use a floor jack to raise your car, please do so on the frame rails, rather than the center of the front crossmember. The front crossmember is hollow and a single layer of steel, meaning if you put a jack on it and lift, it will cave-in. The car shown here came to us with this exact issue, you can see the dents and scrapes from repeated attacks with a floor jack.

In the video below, you can see how we employed one of our newest products to address this issue…

Our crossmember support plate is a simple thick steel plate intended to fortify the front crossmember of your Bugyeye and to give agressive floor jacks a durable contact patch. And they make the crossmember look a lot better too!

Dash vinyl is vulnerable. Twisting nuts on the fabric can lead to wrinkles and imperfections. Make sure to use a flat washer to ensure your vinyl doesn’t get in a knot. Here’s a short video about a big Healey with a twisted nut, and fortunately, once repaired, all we had was a few stretch marks.

For many British cars of this era, you need this nice pin spanner to properly secure the switches on your dashboard, which you find in our parts catalog by clicking the picture below:

Once in a while with antique British sports cars, life is very simple. Something that isn’t functioning sometimes just needs to be taken apart and flipped around, then actually works just perfectly. This is one of those special moments… so, please watch the video below and enjoy.

We are putting the finishing touches on Penny Lane this week, which will be headed to Ohio very soon. As a part of the final checklist, we noted a squeaky steering wheel. As it turns out, the fix for this is an easy one.

Bugeye horn brushes are a vital link between the horn push and the horn. Without them, your Bugeye will not “beep”. In this instance, the horn push had been installed upside down so that the soldered end (see the photo below) was touching the brass contact ring on the horn cone, creating a squeal. Turning the brush over solved the issue.

Should you need to order our special horn brush (that you can now properly install), or new barbed clips for your horn push, or a new horn push, or of course a special new steering wheel that’s a delight to fondle through your own personal million miles of turns, please click the photos below to order today, or click here for our full line of steering wheel products!
