Bob,
Don't know what is on the big Healeys, but I have had a heat shield on
my 74 TR6 for for over 20 years. The heat shield works great, my car has
Strombergs. Someone in my club made a template, got a quote from a sheet
metal shop, and then took orders. It is formed from sheet aluminum, bent
and folded just right, with cutouts to clear the linkage and holes
drilled in appropriate locations. Definitely worth the effort.
