I've heard the old-school method for opening the hood in an emergency is with the car on a lift and the use of a broom stick from below-left. Anybody ever successfully done this procedure? </div>

I've seen a car at a LBC event with the bulkhead under the latch so buggered up it looked like they came in with a crow-bar and blow torch. This is the type of thing I like to go down the row of TR6s and find a car with no emergency release, and enlighten it's
owner. </div>

<div class="" style="word-wrap:break-word">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!
