TR2/3/3A TR3 Scuttle Vent Disassembly Problem

[luke44]

Can someone help me figure out how to get a broken vent pull rod apart from the scuttle vent assembly mechanism? It looks straight forward but it won't budge. Here is the part where I am stuck:

My guess was the pin holding the rod must be 2 pieces - I did discover one end of the pin is threaded, but I don't know how to split them apart....

I have checked these 2 other posts on the subject but no answer.

Thanks in advance,

Never mind - I've got it - the set screw on the other side has the head broken off (the joys of taking over someone elses project). I drilled it out and I'm good to go....

Hi,

Trying to put back the vent lid together, I realize that I am mission 2 parts: The triangle with 3 holes and the attachement of this piece to the car. As it is no longer available, does anyone have dimentional drawings of those parts so I could make them?

Thanks
