Steve,
Perhaps you don't have a copy of the Anderson and Moment book, or the Austin
Healey "Originality Guide for Restorations and Registry Inspections". Even
if you are not completely respecting the originality of the car, these
documents offer a wealth of information that is fundamental to the
reassembly of any Austin Healey.
The heat shield under the driver's side floor is installed with through
bolts, large washers against the heat shield, and nuts. The fire wall heat
shield, and some of the bolts for the foot well heat shields, use bolts and
washers with captive nuts that are welded to the sheet metal.
AH Spares offers "original type" heat shields in a kit that includes the
driver's side floor board, foot wells, fire wall, and the bolts, washers,
and nuts. I suspect Moss has an identical or similar kit.

Subject: [Healeys] Muffler Heat Shield
Hi All,
I'm in the assembly process with my BN7 and was wondering if a
heat shield was installed under the drivers seat floor pan from the factory.
When I look for heat shields, all I ever find is heat shields for the engine
bay. Before I had the frame stripped and re-painted, I didn't notice any
studs, or weld marks to suspend a heat shield for the muffler. Does anyone
know if there is a solution for installing a heat shield under the drivers
floor pan or where I can find one? I live in Tucson Arizona and its hot
enough here without a muffler adding to it.
Thanks for any assistance,
Steve Meyer '61 BN7
