Peter - Could you confirm that the attached photo shows the Longbridge with
the "ungusseted" corners of the bulkhead rectangle.

> Jim,
>
> The early 100-Sixes were criticized for excessive scuttle shake. This
> strengthening hoop was introduced with the idea of minimizing this
transverse
> "paralellogram" movement of the cowl structure.
>
> Looking into the engine bay of an early 100-Six preferably without the
motor,
> you see that the space between the footwells and upper bulkhead, (where the
> bellhousing sits), you see a perfectly rectangular opening.
>
> On all later Healeys, this space between the footwells is now a
semicircular
> shape hugging the bellhousing more closely. This effectively "gusseted" the
> corners of the rectangle, making the bulkhead more resistant to sideways,
> transverse motion in relation to the frame.

> Best
