[Healeys] Wing to shroud anti corrosion treatment

[Alan Seigrist]

A decent coating of rust preventative paint and then a strip of Scotch Super
77 electrical tape should do the trick.  That will let you move the panel
around but give you a very good islolation.  Don't foget you will still have
contact through the fender bolts anyway, so the best you can hope for is to
just reduce the contact as much as possible, but you will never isolate the
fender, which would actually be dangerous from a static perspective if ever
acheived.
