Hi Perry,
Although I do like the look of the fender vents, the idea of implementing a
few out and downward facing louvers on the top of the wheel well to improve
air flow and reduce high pressure within the engine compartment would be an
effort I can handle. The thought is that this modification would capitalize
on the low pressure created within the well to extract heat while reducing
engine compartment pressure and, therefore, will improve air flow and cooling
system efficiency. This alteration is relatively inconspicuous and easily
reversible (with a panel) making the effort and cost of this project
substantially lower than implementing fender vents. The concept seems well
proven with many vintage racing examples, however, I am a little concerned
that none were Healeys and was hopping that the list could provide some
experiences.
Thanks for your response and all the best,
Ray
