     My ignition switch on my 1974 TR6 is problematic. The back of the switch 
is all wobbly and you have to stick your hand behind the switch and push it in 
to get contact to start the car.
     Last night I laid on my back and got back there and the whole thing just 
sort of wobbled apart. Now I am not sure how to get it back together.
     1. Was there supposed to be a screw that holds it all together tight?
     2. The metal socket that the porcelain part pushes in to is all wobbly. Is 
there a way to tighten it up?
     3. A steel ball, like a ball bearing, fell out. Where does that go?
     4. Is there a link somewhere to a TR6 ignition switch rebuilding website?
     5. How hard is it and how long does it take to change out the ignition 
switch? The steering wheel lock looks like something to avoid messing with.
     6. Should I just get a new switch and start over?
     Please help!     

     It might be best to contact me off-list.
     TIA,

     -Bill Brewer
