[6pack] Lobotomizing the steering lock on later model TR6's

[Foster, Stan]

Thanks Jack, that is an excellent suggestion and I do plan to rebuild the
steering column shortly so I will have access to the inner column.

I have always found the steering lock somewhat pointless and irritating
especially when I need to do something that needs the wheels turned in a
particular way and I have to go back in the house to get a key etc.

I was wondering if there was a clean way to remove the column lock pin or if
the best route is to just cut it off ?



If you take the inner steering column out, its easier to take the locking
thing of the column - just grind the weld at each end, then pry apart in the
middle and it comes right off - of course you have to be careful to grind the
weld and not the column - pretty easy on a lathe, might be harder by hand
