Marty:

Yes, I read your post after posting my own. I went over the directions for the SC via the Bentley book and in no uncertain terms the book was pretty clear about never loosening the front latch and shutting the front hood completely. They show a diagram about how to drill the front bumper area or somesuch to release the latch.

You know, I thought this problem was limited to the Triumph TR6. There are exhaustive notes about setting up a safety latch for just this problem.

Good luck on your situation and let us know how it turns out.
