No, it wasn't on the '73 Spits either. I put one on my Spit 'cause it
was cheaper than the replacement valence. Don't see any difference in
cooling capability. It will fit the GT6.

It is so that you can tell if your shoelaces are tied. No, it shouldn't
be on all the time, unless it is a panel light of some sort.

Don't know, hopefully a GT6/TR6 expert can tell you.

Highly unlikely that the alignment shop would have them. I bought
some years ago and did it myself. Hasn't had anyone else align
the front end since about 1976.
