I am in need of some assistance from any Dart owners who have an Austin Healey rear end. I have an AH rear end that came without any emergency /handbrake components. I was able to locate all of the components (swivel, rods, clevis pins, brake levers etc) and am trying to dry fit them before powder coating the components themselves and the axle housing but found that the bracket which was originally welded to the housing was ground off and tossed by the PO. I believe I can find the correct location that will work and have a new bracket made up and welded on, but it looks like it will attach directly over the chassis tube on the right side and am concerned about any clearance issues (also wondering if there are any clearance issues with the rods themselves). If there is anybody who can post or send me pictures of an AH (BJ8 or 3000) rear end insitu on an SP250 it would be greatly appreciated as my body is still off as are obviously my wheels so I can not see how the car sits on the frame/suspension (which is the original leaf springs/dampers). Thank you.
 
I'm afraid I can't help; using an MG rear. One "issue" I had was the diff housing was slightly larger and would hit the underbody when suspension was fully compressed. We had to create a space for it. That makes me think things could be tight. I haven't spoken to anyone with AH but will pass this ? on to the club.
 
Would appreciate any input. I did notice some worn/broken fiberglass near the center of the diff. Body is off the car so it is a bit difficult to assess what caused it. Would like to hear from other SP owners with AH rearends
 
Just wondering if you were able to find out about this? I will be creating a "pocket" in the rear seat fiberglass as it does look like the larger AH diff has been hitting and wearing thru. Also, please see my post on e brake cross rods as I could use some input. Thank you.
