Tony I agree with Andrew, it's not easy but they can be bundled with the other
wires and all clamped together in that cable tray. I've done it. An option is
to buy some new wire in the correct colors from British Wiring which seem to be
a smaller overall dia. And replace the wires supplied with the new OD switch.
They sell wire by the foot in the correct colors.

Hey, Tony: what do I tell ya? It's not for the faint-hearted!
It is tight, but they will fit. The long narrow cover you describe should be
removed first and then replaced after you have fed all the wires through.

Subject: [TR] TR4A overdrive column switch wire routing?
I am looking for advice, even photos, of how to route the wires from an
overdrive switch (mounts to the left hand escutcheon) on my left hand drive TR4A
I am going to be adding an overdrive to my transmission this fall, and I am
trying to get the â??easy stuffâ?? done ahead of time.
As I look at the column with the original escutcheon halves removed, I do not
see a good way to get the wires into the column â??headâ?? to join the other
switch wires. There does not seem to be much room to feed them in without
pinching against the metal of the column, but if it goes forward of the turn
signal switch. And if the wires pass rearward of that switch then they could
interfere with the self-cancelling mechanism.
And then once the wires are in there, how do they get fed down and out the
column to go into that long narrow cover on the bottom of the column along with
the other wires
And those wires already there seem to completely FILL the available space
inside that cover!
How do I free up that cover to get
It loose enough to pass the OD wires?
So many questions!!! Sorry!!
