Anyone who's taken the time to look over Steve Thomton's beautiful BJ7 Works Rally Replica https://stevesaustinhealey.com/ can appreciate the engineering and execution that went into the project. Some of the solutions, like this one involving gaining more clearance on the shroud cross brace to fit an electric cooling motor are quite elegant:
OTOH, we have me, who also needed to move the cross brace to fit an extra cooling fan. First instinct was to use a BFH, that's how they made the Sunbeam Tiger, right? I, too, however hit upon an "elegant" solution:
Note the clever use of my old Fiat 124 Spider scissors jack to make the necessary clearance. And I didn't even have to cut up any Healey sheetmetal.

. I just never grew up from that guy that was messing about with Healeys in 1967 and my mechanical skills probably haven't grown up much since then, either.
