Such a fitting was standard to the four-cylinder cars including a vertical<br>
piece directly behind the centre of the grille.<br>
<br>
During the late 1980s I made up a similar fitting to the BN3 which made a<br>
big difference. The Healey Duncan has a similar fitting for channelling the<br>
air upwards and through the radiator.<br>

The pictures did not have my comments attached,<br>
<br>
!. Trim the shovel to fit the frame.<br>
2. Shows the way the it should fit to the frame with the flange pointing<br>
down. However, I cut the valve hole wrong and had to flip flop it.<br>
3. Note the lip should be pointing down so you can install the mounting<br>
screws to the frame from underneath and remember to get the hole for the<br>
radiator drain valve large enough to install it. <br>
4. Painted the same color as the car. Looks good and really funnels the air<br>
into the engine compartment so you do not over heat down to 30-40 mph.<br>
5. Should have been a factory install. I recommend the Shovel baffle for<br>
all Healey cars. There never is too much cooling air flowing through the<br>
engine compartment. When I was test driving my Healey after the rebuild<br>
without the tunnel, I could feel the air flowing through the engine<br>
compartment like a tornado.<br>
