My TR6 turn signal switch has let out some of its internal smoke. Closer
examination shows that the center pole on the switch is shorted to ground.
It looks like replacement involves dismantling the steering column. Any tips
on how to make this easy? Anything else I should do while I'm in there?
Anybody got an old part they want to sell or swap?

Swapping in a new signal switch isn't terribly difficult. The "trick" is to
slacken the upper (and possibly lower) support clamps enough to allow you to
REMOVE what my Herald Workshop Manual so cleverly calls the "cable trough."
Once that's done, the switch and wires will come out easily, and the new one
should go in almost as easily.
In the distant past, I've tried to do the job without removing that cable
trough. Not worth the copious amounts of blue language that will echo off the
walls of your workspace. ;-)
