[Healeys] Radiator apron

[Jean Caron]

Michael,
I agree with Hank, your car did not come with this vertical panel but if you have the grille removed you should be able to install one. You will have to drill three holes, two in  the horizontal panels and one in the bonnet hinge and cross brace assembly for the machined screw that holds the top of the vertical panel in place.

Michael-the early cars did not always have the center baffle panel.  They had the lower horizontal "apron" you describe but the vertical "modesty " panel was added in late 53 into 54. Photo of my 53 #588 did not have the vertical so you can see all the way thru the front. Since your car (#172?) is early; my guess is that you never had the panel.  Are there mounting holes in the horizontal apron to receive the lip of the vertical piece? The later parts available came with drilled holes. Not sure you could install one unless you remove the grille.  Hank

I have a BN1 with the radiator apron panel (horizontal behind and below the grille in front of the radiator which usually has a division panel attached to it) missing.
If I remove the horns and grille does anyone if this panel and the division panel can be installed. Looks a bit tight but I don't want to have to disturb the front shroud.
Thanks.
