Tonneau wind blocker, although they only show them for MGA, TR ETC.  I =
do not see any for Healey.  As I indicated below, I bought from =
lbcarco.com and they have full description and picture of installed on a =
big healey which gave me enough to make a purchase.

Every time I saw a newer sport convertible with a plastic shield behind =
the front seats, I wanted one for my Healey because after 50 MPH the =
wind blowing from behind is a tremendous force which will blow your hat =
off and discourage your female passenger from ridding with you when the =
top is down.  I had seen that https://www.lbcarco.com had Wind blockers =
for all LBC, but, not the big Healey.  So I considered building my own =
and looked them up on the site to see how they were constructed, found =
the now have a Wind blocker for the big Healey, and immediately ordered =
it for $175.00. =20

=20

In the past 2 days since installing Wind Blocker, it has become my best =
purchase to give comfort to my top down driving.  In Florida in the =
winter it is the land of top down driving and I have not put up the top =
for 2 years.  I may never put up the top, unless I am going hundreds of =
miles in the hot sun. =20

=20

I used a piece of =C2=BE inch PVC pipe cut to the distance between the =
posts and a little more so the pipe wedged between the posts and laying =
on the top frame holds up the Tonneau cover tightly so there is little =
drape. I was able to wrap and fold the Tonneau around the posts to get a =
good seal.  May attach straps later to complete the seal.

=20

Highly recommended for those who love to drive our LBC=E2=80=99s with =
the top down.  Best toy for your Healey.  I have no interest in lbcarco. =
 Also, the product is hard to find as you have to scroll down the list =
of special offers to find, however, it is in the search field under =
Tonneau. =20

=20

Sorry about the poor pictures in the garage, finally, it is raining.
