[6pack] Rear Decal/ Iggy switch

[James Mc Arthur]

Good Morning to all! I have been quietly reading the posts and taking notes of
things for my reference at a later point in time. You see, my situation has
changed and I no  longer have a nice garage in which to wrench; not to mention
the disposable funds with which to buy the parts that would cause one to
wrench. Anyway, that aside, I wasn't thinking anything about the location of
the decal on the side until it became a topic here. When I went past the car
sleeping in my much smaller garage last night, I happened to notice where the
badge sits on the rear panel. This morning I'm reading where it's SUPPOSED to
sit. Did the location change during the model run? My Union Jack sits 3 3/4"
off the lens bracket and 3" down measured off the break in the rear wing. I
have a 1974 Carmine TR6. I would like to know if the location changed? Point
two was the ignition switch. I think the present location is a PITA and would
think about moving it to the plinth
 position when the time comes! Considering the age of these vehicles and their
original parts, it might be wise to treat them gently. At any time, it would
be a good idea to ONLY have the ignition key in the switch and with NOT a
jumble of keys hanging off a key ring. This will make the iggy key tend to
pull down and up in the switch forcing the key against the tumblers and
perhaps inducing premature wear. It might sound like a very small load being
discussed, but over time......... Best Regards to all! Jim McArthur/ York Pa./
