[TR] TR6 heat '70

[Scott Suhring]

It is the vent lid in front of the windscreen, centered. As you noted, the
control leaver is in the passenger side of the center counsel.  Pull it to
open the vent and push the lever back in to close it.

Scott... thanks for the info; quick question as I have a 70 TR6.

Could you describe in more detail the scuttle vent?  Are you talking 
about one of the push/pull knobs (under the plinith control) or the top 
vent aft the bonnet; whose control is to the right of the radio 
console?
