[Healeys] BN1 Grilles

[WILLIAM B LAWRENCE]

In the midst of the refurbishment of my 100 I have discovered that the grille that came with the car is about 1/2" to 3/4" short of fitting the grille opening in the shroud in the vertical direction. I had considered this to be due to production tolerances and planned to modify the shroud to fit the grille, but then it occurred to me that there are a couple different grille designs for the 100s and that this being an early car may have been equipped with an earlier version of the grille.


Does anyone have any information on whether any early cars were equipped with the earlier peaked grille (as used on the prototype) or how many if any were equipped with the interim flat topped grille and whether there would have been differences in the size of the grille opening.


If I have the wrong grille I would like to explore acquiring the correct part rather than modifying the shroud.


Thanks to the group.
