I am finishing the restoration on my 1972 TR6. I want it to be correct for that year, not concours but a nice driver thats not bastardized. I want to drive to car outings and know its put together right. The car was in a few thousand pieces snd not all there. I restored my TR3A it seems with fewer problems.

I need to how the following components are routed:
Thanks in advance.

Bonnet cable from firewall to latch

clutch supply line from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder

Brake Booster to the Intake.

emissions hoses and vacuum layout

I wonder if DPO Pedro kept any before
"bastardized" photos?

I've got a gazillion photos Bailee but my car
was so messed up I'm not sure my restoration
photos would be of any help to you.

Much of what I did was common sense and quesswork.

The bonnet cable. First, before mounting it into the firewall clamps, give the cable 1-2 wraps with friction tape or something similar. Reproduction cables are slightly smaller than the original and the cable's outer sheath will tear on the clamps. When mounted, the cable goes past the hood catch and circles back through the retaining clamp to the securing nut. Just don't let it interfere with the safety catch bar.
The clutch supply starts as steel and then a nylon pipe to the clutch. To get the proper bend on the pipe, you will have to refer to pictures if you don't have an original to go by.
Brake booster is a rubber hose that runs from the booster outlet through a metal retainer that is bolted at the valve cover(stud closest to the firewall) and wraps around to the center inlet on the intake mainfold.
I only run the line off of the vaccuum advance unit which feeds to the inlet at the back/bottom of the back carb.
A good reference to your questions are the blue and green TRF catalogs.
