Kurt,

choose car photos
then choose Healey
Then choose airshroud
Having the moving air deflected to the radiator instead of escaping around
the sides must help cooling. I recommend that it be on the car, although I
often see cars without them. My car has NEVER overheated. Stock fan
1960BT7. I can't say it is the air shroud but hey if it was on the car
there was a benefit. The Rally cars all had some sort of a shroud as well
as most performance cars.
Difficult to see but here is the same setup (in aluminum) on Dr Johnson's
100S

My late 62 bt7 had no fan shroud when purchased, should it have one, if
so how far down from the top of the radiator should it be placed, and
how is it attached.The fan shroud in the part suppliers books appears to
be bolted on. Thanks Kurt L.
