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.

<div>Michael-the early cars did not always have the center baffle panel.=
&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; 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.&nbsp; =

I don't know about the horizontal apron panel but when I installed an
electric fan I had to remove the vertical divider panel and did so after
removing the grille.

Hi Hank -

She has a two piece dash, with centrigrade temp guage and adjustable
steering wheel.

Yes that is my car.  You have all the correct data / color.

I thought I registered her a long time ago, I can do it.

Cheers,

Alan

<p>Hank and Jean</p>
<p>Michael is a long time member of the AH Concours Guidelines Committee, a=
n early 100 expert and as such is well aware of this fact. I judged his car=
 Concours gold as I recall several years ago at the Gettysburg Conclave and=
 the vertical portion was not there as is correct for around the first 350 =
BN1s. As such, there was no deduction for the missing panel.</p>
<p>I have to assume that he now wants to add the panel to help improve cool=
ing.</p>
<p>As for his question, it can be done but will require drilling three 3/16=
&quot; holes, two in the lower portion for 10-32 pan head phillips screws a=
nd one in the top center portion of the upper support. Both the grill and r=
adiator may need to be removed. Pain in the butt if you ask me.</p>
<p>If you want to improve cooling without permanently altering your very or=
iginal car, I have several better options.</p>
<p>Cheers</p>

<div>Michael-the early cars did not always have the center baffle panel.=C2=
=A0 They had the lower horizontal &quot;apron&quot; you describe but the ve=
rtical &quot;modesty &quot; 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 fron=
t. Since your car (#172?) is early; my guess is that you never had the pane=
l.=C2=A0 Are there mounting holes in the horizontal apron to receive the li=
p of the vertical piece? The later parts available came with drilled holes.=
 Not sure you could install one unless you remove the grille.=C2=A0 Hank<br=
