[Healeys] Install fender vents

[Don]

Mitch,
I would use steel on steel.  Not sure what is meant by flange or no
flange and it has been several years since mine were installed.  The
vents I used were very deep and I needed to cut them or the pedal boxes
when the fender was fitted back to the car.  The pedal boxes on both
sides of my 57' interfered and I cut a couple of chunks out of vents to
make the fenders fit after vent installation.
They do help with the heat and my car is more of a rally replica of the
period so I had no problem with cutting into the original metal.

Hello list,
Has anyone installed front fender vents? I have steel fenders. They
(vents) come in flanged or no flange,steel or alum. If anyone has
performed this operation could you please walk me through it, which is
the best flange type, any pics. would help big time as well......thanks
a million!!! hopefully some day I can give someone some advice on
Healeys.....heres a tibit I learned along the way, DON'T tell your wife
how much you are spending on Healey parts (it is best to keep that to
yourself) even if you do make some good buys.....lol
