[Healeys] Muffler Heat Shield

[Ronald J. Ray]

My June 1959 chassis number 1646 had asbestos heat shields with through
bolts that looked "original" when I bought it in 1971.
Apparently a prior owner must have added them, possibly buying them from a
BMC dealer,  in a token attempt to reduce the temperature in the passenger
compartment

Hi Steve,

You probably didn't see any mounting studs under your floor because Healeys
were originally shield-less until the introduction of the Mark II model in
March of 1961, at Chassis No.13,751.  The BN 7 model ran till Mar.'62.

Best regards
Peter
