[Healeys] Shroud repair

[Michael]

Hi Dave, can't help with regarding recommended repairers but I would strongly recommend that you try to find someone who will do the repairs using a MIG or TIG welding system as the fluxes used with gas welding are almost impossible to remove and any remaining in the worked areas will cause problems forever!!

Subject: [Healeys] Shroud repair

Hi All,


I have removed both the front and rear shrouds from my BJ8 while doing some restoration work. While I am able to do fairly well welding and shaping steel panels, I am not experienced with the aluminum. Both shrouds have some stress cracks and other damage that needs someone who is experienced with aluminum body panel welding and shaping. 



I live in North central Massachusetts. I would like to find someone within driving distance that I could bring my shrouds for repair. I know of one shop called Panel Craft up in Bethlehem, NH. That is about 2.5 hours each direction. I am considering them, but wanted to check with the list. Does anyone have a recommendation for Healey shroud repair?



Thanks much!
