TR6 TR6 under dash pics? Anybody?

I'm looking at a TR6 which was completely torn down then put together a little less than 'stock'. Right now the under dash demister/vent hoses are hanging very low. Does anyone have a picture or two showing routing? I could use both sides, but right now the worst mess is on the drivers side.

Thanks
Randy

Randy;

If you need to get to the demisters, you will have to clear a lot of room to work. At the very minimum, you need to remove the speedo and tach and the glove box. The demister hoses come from the rear of the heater box and the eyeball and floor hoses attach to the outlets in the front. Look at the drawing on the Moss web site to get some idea of what you should expect to see behind the dash. Work carefully to make sure you don't disconnect any wires when you are shoving things around back there.

Thanks gents- Tim, definitely what I needed. I can see I'm missing a large clamp that holds the air hoses closer to the steering column.

Joe- not sure yet just how much I will need to take out - the defroster setup is hopefully ok, my main complaint is the lower hose on the drivers side just hanging close to my legs.

Also check to see if the PO got a case of the lazies and ran full hose pieces (18") rather than cutting them to the proper length.

Dang, Bob! Everything is so neat and orderly! Here is the same view from under "the pigpen".

Neat or messy, those are both very useful - thanks!

Bob- thanks also for maintaining that website of yours - great stuff there.
