Don't drill out the shear off bolts with the dremel! Use a cutoff disk to
cut a slot in the head to insert a standard screw driver. The heads shear
off at a very low torque and the come right out. 10 min max (including
coiling the extension cord back up)

Oh, by the way, your really gonna love drilling out those shear off bolts on
the ignition lock. It took me over an hour. I has to use my trusty Dremel
tool. Any advice from others who have done this? It was a real pain. I had
wished I had a 90 degree drill motor and a short bit. My pistol drill got in
the way of the dash on one side. I also had to re-tap the threads to
standard
as I didn't want to wait for those shear bolts (I think Moss has them).
The only other downside was the "new" ignition switch had a later "reverse"
key blank and now I can't use the nice MG logo brass key that I really
liked.
Does anyone have a source for the proper lock switch for Ross and me?
