Insulation

Share this page

Does not look like a bad idea.
You don't need much air circulation there, and if ... speed up ;-))

Andre,

I see no possible issue with having the insulation as you placed it.
As far as enough air for your Webers, the problem with cooling the Healey is that, at speed, high pressure develops in the engine compartment and slows air flow through the radiator. This high pressure may cause a problem for cooling but will supply plenty of air for your webers.

All the best,

Instead of insulation there I placed an aluminum sheet with the lower edge turned up to catch the small parts that invariably fall and end up in the black hole at the bottom of the pedal box assembly.

I hope that theory will be confirmed by practice.

Hi John
Effectively in the restoration works I have opened the lower end
of the black hole- Find lot of bolt and screw and dirt but the real problem is that I have find in this zone a lot of corrosion and rust due water stagnation, I have make in the underside of all two braces RX LX a 6mm hole to avoid water stagnation but a <span style="font-weight: bold">rubber cap</span> at the head can be a good solution to avoid loss of spare pieces inside- and dirt- tanks for your suggestion
Cheers
Andrea
