[Healeys] Bonnet Louvers

[Carr&Edwards]

According to my partner, an old-time (1950s) hot-rodder, there are two basic 
styles of hood louvers.  When looked at from the open side, one style is 
flat across the top and the other style has a continuous arc (the latter are 
generally much shorter than the 5" that Jim says are on his factory M) -- so 
be sure the die being used is the same style as the original 100M louvers.
