It's the same sad story on a TR6.=C2=A0 They get routed with the turn signa=
l wires.=C2=A0 And the trough isn't big enough.=C2=A0 I fought thia with my=
 TR6 and it took me an inordinant amount of time.=C2=A0=C2=A0
I'd categorize this as one of those not so easy things.=C2=A0 A partial dis=
assembly of the steering column is in the works.
