Initially we knew that body no. 724 did not have this brace, and no. 1267 did have one... See photos. <o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>We now know that body nos. 877 and 1000 did have the cross brace, so we've narrowed it down quite a bit. 877 - 724 = 153 body numbers. Of course we realize that 100s were not always built in strict body number order, so there may be some overlap either way.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>So, is there anyone still out there with a BN1 no. 725 to 876 with there original bonnet?<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks again,<o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Curt Arndt<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Austin Healey Concours Registry<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>'55 BN1 (#7197), '60 AN5 :{)<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>On Wed, Jan 17, 2018 at 6:13 AM, Curtis Arndt <<a href="mailto:cnaarndt@gmail.com" target="_blank">cnaarndt@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi Listers,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>If anyone on the list has a BN1 between body numbers 725 through 1265, please email me.<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Curt Arndt<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>Carlsbad, CA<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class=MsoNormal>'55 BN1, '60 AN5 :{)<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></div></body></html>
