When rebuilding my '72 TR6 many moons ago I made the mistake of buying the
wrong rear-end sheet metal (with provision openings above the license plate
for lighting). It didn't take me long to figure out where the exhaust fumes
were entering. I ended up closing up the openings and so eliminated the
problem.

Ok, I'm thinking that Dick's wife never rides in the car, nor does mine.
(haha) I was tempted to say that a fiancee that does not like the british
car
smell should be swapped in for one that does, but I won't go there.
On a serious note, I've also made some improvement by replacing the grommets
under the spare tire. I had 3 big holes down there.
Good luck,
Sloane :)

reduce
the engine bay smells from reaching the cockpit. I have stuffed some with
foam
around and between where the cables pass thru. My "nosey" wife has never
said
she smells anything here. (I just now asked her)
