[Healeys] BN2: Cold Air Box fitting

[Jim LeBlanc]

The frame piece is bent to make room for the cold air box. Knowing what I do
about the cold air box, I would avoid adding one to a car. In my mind the only
reason to have a cold air box is for original factory condition.
 
First step is to buy the longer sheet metal bracket between the aluminum
shroud and the frame. Then bend the frame to meet that bracket. The frame bend
point is about 1/2 to 5/8 inch above the wheel well. You will need room for
the electricals in that area.
 
Let me know if you have more questions.

Thatbs precisely the problem b:

When
assembling the carbs I noticed that:
- the extra heat shield  (I got from
Denis Welch) does not fit properly
without touching the manifold unless you
stack 2 phenolic washers
- even if I install just one thick phenolic washer I
cannot get the cold air
box as it does not clear the knocked frame pieceb&
Itbs a bit of a catch 22 situation..
