[Healeys] Cold Box Installation

Fri Jun 12 19:06:03 MDT 2020

Hello

Letting you know that the standard support of the carb side was removed completely from the BN3/1 in 1955 by the DHMC to fit the triple DU6 SU carbs and has never been replaced. The aluminium of the shroud has not suffered as a result.

Charlie--

In cars where CAB's were original, or when Le Mans kits (as opposed simply to tacking on a CAB) were added the standard support is replaced by one with a dogleg in it to provide clearance for the box.  

I have read of people in your situation simply doing away with the support but I think that leaves the aluminum susceptible to bending, etc. I don't know of a source but must imagine that someone can supply one of the dogleg supports--if not it would not be that hard to fabricate one.

I have interference between the cold box and the vertical strut on my 100 4 (see photos). Does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.
