Listerati,
I=E2=80=99ve had some inquires about the swamp cooler on my TR6 I mentioned i=
n another post so here=E2=80=99s the details.
This only works if you have a scuttle vent that has a pop open lid not the s=
cuttle vent with a plastic grill. 69 through some 72 TR6s had the pop open l=
id.
I ran plastic "fish tank" tubing off the windshield wiper fluid reservoir (u=
se distilled water) drilled a small hole in the side of the plenum and conne=
cted it to a tiny copper tube (from the hobby store) with a dozen tiny holes=
drilled into it, cap it on the end with a silicone cap. That tube is wrappe=
d with some porous material and held to the tube by using some magnetic clip=
s from Harbor Freight. The magnets hold the assembly to the bottom of the sc=
uttle lid. Tuck the material down the plenum so air flows through and not ar=
ound it. I press the washer switch for about 6-8 seconds and before long coo=
l air comes out any or all the round vents or out over the tran tunnel or wh=
ere ever you set your controls for air flow. It only works when moving of co=
urse but today I had cool air coming out nicely on my feet and the upper rou=
nd vents on my body. With the tonneau cover on and covering the passenger se=
at the cool air was all directed on me. It was 92 today and I drove around f=
or a couple hours and the reservoir still was 1/3 full.
You lose having washer fluid for the windshield but I never used mine that I=
can remember. I'd rather have cool air.
Plus everything is reversible to stock except for the small hole to the plen=
um. But I'm never going back. The lid still works as it should and nothing i=
s visible when it's shut.
