[6pack] Emergency release

[Richard Taylor]

I may have posted this before, but since the conversation has come up again, so is the photo. It works with the later six with the removable grill opening. A 3/8 inch hole is drilled in the firewall ( and then soft plugged so it can be easily knocked out from above) and a rod of one’s choosing can be used as shown. A screwdriver is used to lever the rod against the hood latch. I practiced this with the hood opened to be sure it would work, and later did it with the hood closed. Of course I’ve never had to use it ‘for real', which is good too!

Way before these were available, I installed a simple piece of speaker wire and routed it thru a hole in the firewall. I figured it only had to work twice. One to test and two in an emergency, which hasn't happened yet.
