[Healeys] Spark Plugs

[Chris Dimmock]

Kilmartin’s here in Australia will louvre your bonnet on their tooling. 
I know because I spoke to Greg Kilmartin about doing an Austin A35 bonnet for me.

Usually it's a hot rod shop.  You should know the louvers won't look like the ones that were done on the 100M, the dies used to punch them were different than those used in the US.  Another thing to consider is the amount of work prepping the louvers for paint takes.  There's a lot of hand sanding required and getting through the process without any slashes on your fingers while trying to keep some of your fingerprints intact is a struggle.  Also, you'll need a good painter as the paint sometimes runs around the ends of the louvers.  But if you like the look, it's all worth it in the end.
