BN2 Shroud Support Bracket for Cold Air Box [1955 BN2 - Le Mans Modifications]

[Acton51]

Good evening everyone.

We're tuning a 1955 BN2 with the Le Mans kit (at the customer's request).

We need to modify the left hand shroud support bracket allowing clearance for the cold air box.

Does anyone have any photos to show how and where to bend the bracket?

Thanks in advance and best wishes for the upcoming holidays.

Hello, you might check Jean Caron who is the current 100M registrar - see the 100M Le Mans Registry. The identification guidelines book might be of interest.

Here's a shot showing the vertical bracket with its slight bend outward to accommodate the CAB. On the top goes a piece of bent sheet-metal to re-align the bracket with the shroud. Unfortunately, it's not readily visible behind the CAB and I don't know of any vendors that offer it, though BCS would be worth a shot.

Found a pic showing a little of the top piece of the bracket.
