Amen! I moved the switch to the plinth several years ago after knocking my
knees out too many times. I believe the plinth is where it belongs! Much,
much better location. Making the pigtail is a cinch.

Subject: [6pack] Ignition Switch Replacement
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.
