[6pack] TR-6 Hood Release

[John Mc]

G'day Bill,

One thing to be careful with is that this release can 'over' open. That is the
little tab on top that pushes
the release back can go back too far and slip under the release bar and
effectively make your problem worse!
I made my own bracket and stopped this problem by putting a screw through the
release bracket stopping the arm
from going back too far.

Happy to send photos of what I mean if you need them.

Any one have a copy of the excellent TR-6 hood release device shown on the
David Sims website from back in 2005.  I am unable to locate my copy and I
want to get it into the hands of other Club mates that own TR-6's.  I have
tried his website but am unable to open
it--www.davidsims.ukgateway.net/hood_release.html.  This piece works great as
a daily hood opener--let alone as the emergency release as designed.

This is the best place (by far) to get your Bonnet Release
