[Mgs] MGB vent window opener

[PaulHunt73]

The spring *should* be enough to hold the vent open.  There is a brass tube 
on the pivot pin and this should be above the 1/4-light frame, i.e. in the 
vent seal.  Under the 1/4-light frame i.e. in the door cavity there should 
be a washer, then the spring, then another washer, then the nut.  Tightening 
the nut compresses the spring and should squeeze the 1/4-light frame between 
the brass tube and the washer above the spring, and this friction should be 
enough to hold the vent open.  If some of these parts are missing or worn 
out it should be easy enough to remove the vent by undoing the nut under the 
spring, and checking/replacing parts.  However if the brass tube has worn 
through the vent frame you will have to lift the vent seal and probably put 
a washer above as well.
