[Healeys] Healey Wind Blocker

[Robert Begani]

Listers:

 

Every time I saw a newer sport convertible with a plastic shield behind the
front seats, I wanted one for my Healey because after 50 MPH the wind
blowing from behind is a tremendous force which will blow your hat off and
discourage your female passenger from ridding with you when the top is down.
I had seen that https://www.lbcarco.com had Wind blockers for all LBC, but,
not the big Healey.  So I considered building my own and looked them up on
the site to see how they were constructed, found the now have a Wind blocker
for the big Healey, and immediately ordered it for $175.00.  

 

In the past 2 days since installing Wind Blocker, it has become my best
purchase to give comfort to my top down driving.  In Florida in the winter
it is the land of top down driving and I have not put up the top for 2
years.  I may never put up the top, unless I am going hundreds of miles in
the hot sun.  

 

I used a piece of ¾ inch PVC pipe cut to the distance between the posts and
a little more so the pipe wedged between the posts and laying on the top
frame holds up the Tonneau cover tightly so there is little drape. I was
able to wrap and fold the Tonneau around the posts to get a good seal.  May
attach straps later to complete the seal.

 

Highly recommended for those who love to drive our LBC’s with the top down.
Best toy for your Healey.  I have no interest in lbcarco.  Also, the product
is hard to find as you have to scroll down the list of special offers to
find, however, it is in the search field under Tonneau.  

 

Sorry about the poor pictures in the garage, finally, it is raining.

 

Regards,
