However that said, in order to improve the cooling cooling in traffic with my BN1, I have installed vertical panels, very like the division panel used on later 100s, but at the ends of the apron panel. The improvement has be remarkable and is something I would recommend for any 100 with overheating issues.</p><p dir="ltr"><br></p><p dir="ltr">M</p></div>

<p dir="ltr">Michael is a long time member of the AH Concours Guidelines Committee, an early 100 expert and as such is well aware of this fact. I judged his car Concours gold as I recall several years ago at the Gettysburg Conclave and the vertical portion was not there as is correct for around the first 350 BN1s. As such, there was no deduction for the missing panel.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I have to assume that he now wants to add the panel to help improve cooling.</p>
<p dir="ltr">As for his question, it can be done but will require drilling three 3/16" holes, two in the lower portion for 10-32 pan head phillips screws and one in the top center portion of the upper support. Both the grill and radiator may need to be removed. Pain in the butt if you ask me.</p><p dir="ltr">If you want to improve cooling without permanently altering your very original car, I have several better options.</p>

I agree with Hank, your car did not come with this vertical panel but if you have the grille removed you should be able to install one. You will have to drill three holes, two in the horizontal panels and one in the bonnet hinge and cross brace assembly for
the machined screw that holds the top of the vertical panel in place.</div>

<div>Michael-the early cars did not always have the center baffle panel. They had the lower horizontal "apron" you describe but the vertical "modesty " panel was added in late 53 into 54. Photo of my 53 #588 did not have the vertical so you can see all the
way thru the front. Since your car (#172?) is early; my guess is that you never had the panel. Are there mounting holes in the horizontal apron to receive the lip of the vertical piece? The later parts available came with drilled holes. Not sure you could
install one unless you remove the grille. Hank<br>

Subject: [Healeys] Radiator apron </div>
<div>I have a BN1 with the radiator apron panel (horizontal behind and below the grille in front of the radiator which usually has a division panel attached to it) missing.
<div>If I remove the horns and grille does anyone if this panel and the division panel can be installed. Looks a bit tight but I don't want to have to disturb the front shroud. </div>
<div>Thanks.</div>
