My dad did something like this on our '54 Chevy. Later, we used two of
the units that were hung on side windows? Works great in Arizona or New
Mexico. - Larry Young

Iâ??ve had some inquires about the swamp cooler on my TR6 I
mentioned in another post so hereâ??s the details.<br>
<br>
This only works if you have a scuttle vent that has a pop open
lid not the scuttle vent with a plastic grill. 69 through some
72 TR6s had the pop open lid.<br>
<br>
I ran plastic "fish tank" tubing off the windshield wiper
fluid reservoir (use distilled water) drilled a small hole in
the side of the plenum and connected 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
wrapped with some porous material and held to the tube by
using some magnetic clips from Harbor Freight. The magnets
hold the assembly to the bottom of the scuttle lid. Tuck the
material down the plenum so air flows through and not around
it. I press the washer switch for about 6-8 seconds and before
long cool air comes out any or all the round vents or out over
the tran tunnel or where ever you set your controls for air
flow. It only works when moving of course but today I had cool
air coming out nicely on my feet and the upper round vents on
my body. With the tonneau cover on and covering the passenger
seat the cool air was all directed on me. It was 92 today and
I drove around for a couple hours and the reservoir still was
1/3 full.<br>
<br>
You lose having washer fluid for the windshield but I never
used mine that I can remember. I'd rather have cool air.<br>
Plus everything is reversible to stock except for the small
hole to the plenum. But I'm never going back. The lid still
works as it should and nothing is visible when it's shut.<br>
