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.
