If you plan to replace the ignition switch anyhow, now is the time to move it
to the plinth at the bottom center of the dash where the choke, heater, fan
and etc are.  This is where it it was on the TRs prior to 1970.  I did it
years ago and recently swapped my car with a fellow club member to try to
track down an idle problem and couldn't believe what a PITA the standard setup
is/was.  All you need to make the change is a new switch (which you will be
buying anyway) for a TR4A, make up 6 (I think) pigtails to lengthen the
ignition wires and some sweat.  The plinth has a hole in it that is covered by
the vinyl so it is easy to cut out the vinyl and insert the new switch.
