<DIV dir=ltr>Jean,
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cheers,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Curt</DIV></DIV>

<DIV>That bracing was original to late BN2s, and as such is absolutely
correct. It's a not well known detail, but it is how it came from the
factory (Jensen).</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Has anyone ever run into something like this, this
is what appears to be a brace that was in the driver side door in the
BN2 I am currently restoring. At the top it was attached to the
horizontal wood piece held there with two countersunk wood screws. At
the bottom, it entered and turned to the inside and was secured with
two rivets to the door bottom frame piece.</P>
