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
