[Healeys] BN1 and BN2 front fenders - check me on this please.

The Austin Service Journal you are referring to is dated after 100
production had ceased. 11 August 1961. There was however an earlier one
Volume 26-Cars Body 3.

What is most confusing is that this one gives the dimensions

BN1 = 9"
BN2 = 7 1/4"

The one you refer to gives

BN1 = 9 1/2"
BN2 = 9"

I believe that the earlier ASJ is closer to being correct and for what it
is worth my BN1 with original wings measures 9"

I have measured a BN2 which has reproduced wings at 7 3/8"

Best regards
