I agree, it's the heat we are trying to combat. Many of you will
probably laugh at this, but how many of those can drive their Healey all
day long barefootin'?
This thread has also been debated to death over the years. When I went
through this several years ago on my driver, not concours, BN1, I was
told about a very unique solution. Some of you long time List members
may recall the late Dick Brill, Esq., a very good e-mail friend of
mine. He suggested using smoker blankets. After being laughed at all
over So. Cal., I appealed to him and he promptly sent me two for the
price of $1.50 each. That covered the driver side and transmission
tunnel. You really need three unless you deliberately wish the SWMBO to
suffer. ;-)
It's about 1/2" thick but was made to hold heat in or in our case,
"out". Some of you Southeastern folks where they actually sell smokers,
should give it a try. "Works for me!"
Cheers,
Bill
BN1M driver
