[Healeys] Heat management

[Robert Duquette]

Pipe dream?  :)
I wondered about this also.  I won't be pursuing it, but initially, after
reading so much about heat in the cockpit, I had given some thought to coating
the exhaust to behind the cockpit.
In the RHD cars, the exhaust is under the passenger side.  I'm guessing that
that was by design ... though did they really design them for the UK, or for
export?

Also wondering--this is mostly a pipe dream--what coating the entire exhaust
system would do. I would think at least it would lessen the heat under the
driver.
