Hood / Bonnet Louvres

[TonyR]

I have located a company in the UK that will add Louvres to my 100/4 hood or bonnet as we call it.
Question is, does anyone have a 100 4 with a genuine factory louvered hood that I can measure the slots and spacings? located in NWest UK, or, can anyone out there send me a drawing etc that I can pass on to the company.

Thanks

Tony

Years ago, there was a shop that added louvers to Austin Healey 100 bonnets. The louvers were in the exact pattern of the factory 100M louvers. I learned of this through the publication of either AHCA or Pacific Center, I cannot remember which.

I have a 1955 BN 1 that I am restoring. It has a different louvre pattern - see picture. Has anyone seen this pattern? Any info appreciated.

Tony, since you are in the UK, a UK company is probably best but if it doesn't work out contact me with a PM. There is a source in US that will do a louvered bonnet to original 100M spec and the work is flawless.
