Hello
Such a fitting was standard to the four-cylinder cars including a vertical
piece directly behind the centre of the grille.
During the late 1980s I made up a similar fitting to the BN3 which made a
big difference. The Healey Duncan has a similar fitting for channelling the
air upwards and through the radiator.

The pictures did not have my comments attached,
!. Trim the shovel to fit the frame.
2. Shows the way the it should fit to the frame with the flange pointing
down. However, I cut the valve hole wrong and had to flip flop it.
3. Note the lip should be pointing down so you can install the mounting
screws to the frame from underneath and remember to get the hole for the
radiator drain valve large enough to install it.
4. Painted the same color as the car. Looks good and really funnels the air
into the engine compartment so you do not over heat down to 30-40 mph.
5. Should have been a factory install. I recommend the Shovel baffle for
all Healey cars. There never is too much cooling air flowing through the
engine compartment. When I was test driving my Healey after the rebuild
without the tunnel, I could feel the air flowing through the engine
compartment like a tornado.
