Thanks Randall!
That helps, but I still think it's a slightly lame design. It's the lower
eye-ball vents that seem to do little. I mean in really warm weather you have
the top down and can open the heater with the valve closed and you will get
cool air by the feet. Those extra vents add a lot of weird stuff in behind the
dash and make it hell to assemble.
Cheers,
Mark

The "demister" vents are separate from the "eye-ball" vents, and have
separate
ducts. The demister vents open right at the base of the windshield and
supply
heated air (when the water and air controls are set appropriately). The
eye-ball vents are never heated, they only blow 'fresh' air.
It's actually a nice setup, IMO. I like being able to have cool air in my
face
with warm air on my feet, especially on long trips.

The connections are shown pretty well in TRF's TR6 catalog, Vol II, Plate ET.
I
know this is posted on the web somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment.
So
here's a scan (Thanks Don Malling).
