I wrote last night about the steering binding on my TR6.  Got some suggestions 
of what might have caused it.  They were right.  First, some wires not even 
hooked up to anything somehow got wrapped around the steering column.  Darned 
if I know how!  Then they got the tach. cable involved.  It's ruined.  It's 
also wound tightly around the column where it goes through the firewall.  
That's going to require some daylight and a good pair of pliers because it is 
wound very tightly --- it's ugly.  
All I can say is no wonder the tach face was displaced.  If it were Saddam's 
head it would have come off and fell at my feet..  I did get the spaghetti 
unwound except for the tach cable.  I wonder, could it have affected the 
speedometer cable also?
We'll see.
Anyway, thanks for the clues.
