List-


I just received a kit from Moss (on backorder for several months) to install 
the Emergency Cable Release. Clear instructions and it was less than $9.00.

Installs in minutes on a TR6, not sure about a TR4, but appears to be the 
same process. While I am sure someone will point out all of the parts are 
available in a scrap pile at a local bike shop, I enjoy opening a package of 
new clean parts that are all there to complete the project.

Hope this helps.

 My friend and I just installed the emergency cable release mechanism 
 illustrated on Joe Cannons web site on both our cars. We've actually had
 them made up for a while and finally got around to putting them in last
 Thursday. The feeling we got each time the hood was closed that "this
 might be the time the cable breaks" finally sunk in. Mine was on a shelf
 in the garage and his was in his glovebox. Would have been tough to
 think about that while tearing the car apart trying to get into the
 engine compartment, of course in the dark, 2 AM, middle of nowhere, in
 the rain, wife has a headache, late for the babysitter, because of a
 .................blown fuse!!!!
 Aside from making the pieces (by a friend at work) total installation
 time was about a half hour, for both cars. This thread comes at a
 perfect time as I don't think my pal recalled who it was that came up
 with the illustration and we had them made months ago. So, we can now
 say THANKS,   JOE....
 Feels wonderful knowing a problem is solved, Before it even happens!!!!!
