Hello Ray
=20
Good to hear from you.
=20
I would suspect not. It really just makes it all a pain in the bum to =
remove the radiator and that has to be done through the grille opening. =
There has been no cracks in the shroud, except for the time I ran into a =
dog.
=20
The front of the radiator is also under the front shroud. I have since =
added a curved piece of steel that joins the two uprights and above the =
radiator to support the front of the shroud opening.=20
=20
Best wishes

Patrick, Very cool to see the hand built modifications to the frame and =
sub structure. So do you think the radiator mounted solid between the =
two uprights effectively replaces the two X braces to counteract the =
shear forces?

Hello
I certainly wouldn't remove it either.
However having said that attached are a few pics of BN3/1 taken during =
the
late 1970s and you can see how the DHMC altered the front to make =
everything
fit. They removed the X bracing and added in two large uprights. In =
between
that and very tightly is the radiator which incidentally is the same as =
our
Healey Duncan, but pressurised.
