Hello Michael
In all the four-cylinder production cars there is a single horizontal and a=
single vertical metal piece that serves the main purpose of ensuring that =
the air that comes in through the grille goes through the radiator.
That the vertical piece also prevents being able to see from one wheel open=
ing to the other is purely secondary.
Have a look at this page from the AH Spares website and it=E2=80=99s number=
s 68 and 69 on the right hand side.
https://www.ahspares.co.uk/big-healey/inner-body-panels-ibp101-to-ibp286a/
There is no such similar horizontal fitting on the production six-cylinder =
cars so that a lot of the air that comes through the grille escapes below t=
he radiator and serves no worthwhile purpose.

I have never seen anything re a "shovel" either standard or optional to 100=
's
Can you expand on this?
i was always of the impression that the purpose of the vertical divider was=
esthetic to prevent one's seeing through the opposite wheel opening when a=
car was viewed from the side.

Hello
Such a fitting was standard to the four-cylinder cars including a vertical
piece directly behind the centre of the grille.
During the late 1980s I made up a similar fitting to the BN3 which made a
big difference. The Healey Duncan has a similar fitting for channelling the=
air upwards and through the radiator.

The pictures did not have my comments attached,
!. Trim the shovel to fit the frame.
2. Shows the way the it should fit to the frame with the flange pointing
down. However, I cut the valve hole wrong and had to flip flop it.
3. Note the lip should be pointing down so you can install the mounting
screws to the frame from underneath and remember to get the hole for the
radiator drain valve large enough to install it.
4. Painted the same color as the car. Looks good and really funnels the ai=
r
into the engine compartment so you do not over heat down to 30-40 mph.
5. Should have been a factory install. I recommend the Shovel baffle for
all Healey cars. There never is too much cooling air flowing through the
engine compartment. When I was test driving my Healey after the rebuild
without the tunnel, I could feel the air flowing through the engine
compartment like a tornado.
