Unlike the 2 TR3s featured in TVR, I want this car to be as close to
original as possible. No rack and pinion, no roll-bar, no 89mm pistons,
etc., etc. The only reason I would go back to the on-off switch is, knowing
my luck, I'll end up selling it to a concours judge who'll call me out on a
panel rheostat.
Plus, one of you kind folk has already agreed to sell me the switch for $5
and I have an old center panel without the "D".

imho leave well enough alone, but bypass it. I've always thought it was
silly since as others have pointed out its rather useless. mine is
bypassed.
