Josef,
The deflector panels are meant to fit right up to the radiator, not allowing
air flow to get around any other path. It's easy enough to move or pivot the
panels slightly should the need arise to remove the radiator.

Subject: How to fit intake deflector panels?
> I need the knowledge of this forum. In the middle of a near to concours
restoration of my 3000, MK2, BT7 I need to trial fit the intake deflector
panels. My idea was, that the panels should have a gap to the radiator of
about 1/2inch to be able to remove the radiator without removing the
deflector panels.
> A very good friend of mine and Healey expert told me the air intake
deflector panels should be tucked into the radiator left and right side, so
that the air does not pass to the outside of the radiator. "Although it is
difficult to do, and get right this is how they were designed", he told me.
> Now my question to the concourse experts is, who of us is right. I expect
it should be as I was told by my friend.
> Many thanks for any reply.
