[Healeys] Door Brace -

Jean,

I will have to re-read the current guidelines, but as far as I'm concerned,
if an aluminium head is "Indistinguishable" from the original, there should
be ZERO deductions!

I have one on my car and it is "Indistinguishable" from the original.  Just
like I have a period original 3.54 rear end and other unseen period options
for my stock, non LeMans BN1 that will out run any "stock 100M". The whole
point of AH Concours was to encourage our cars to be driven, and to NOT be
"Trailer Queens" as are a lot of marque Concours.

Another member of the Concours Committee has the exact same engine mods
that I do, so I'm in good company. Neither of our cars can be distinguished
as not being 100% stock from the factory in 1955.

Cheers,

Curt
