The hood scoop grille fit on this Healey BJ8 left a lot to be desired. It touched the hood in some places and left a terrible gap in others.
The fit procedure required a little bit more than anticipated. We needed to change the angle of how the scoop meets the lower hood surface. This was done by cutting back the scoop in a few sections, and welding on a new piece to extend the top edge forward.
Slighter longer and all welded in.
Finished smooth.
Pretty much wrapped up. Note the lower edges. After the modification, the grille will sit flush against the paint on three sides.
