[TR] OFF SPEC. IGNITION SWITCH

[Biedermann, Frank (SACE Board)]

Hi Michael,

Please forgive me if I confuse you further, but not all TR6s had an ignition
lock on the steering wheel. Certainly my '69 RHD petrol injection model
didn't. If the ignition switch is located in the switch plinth (along with the
choke and heater controls) above the gear stick, then it may well be correct.
I don't know when/if there was a changeover to integrated ignition
switch/steering locks in European models, though. And I also don't know if
yours is a LHD or RHD - if it's a LHD and the ignition switch is on the left
of the steering column mounted underneath the dash then it's not correct...

Hopefully someone else knows some of the missing details...

Hi Folks,



I have a question about the ignition switch on my 1973 TR6.



The ignition switch is mounted underneath the dash just to the left of the
steering wheel.



I am led to believe that this is not standard. It definitely is not mounted as
an integral part of a steering lock.



Anyway, if anybody knows what this could be I would certainly like to know.
It has a neutral position to the left which allows the radio to work.



Is it a big job to mount a standard ignition switch with lock and how would I
go about doing this?



Best Regards,



Michael
