Congratulations, you just discovered the OD switch. On cars without OD this unused mechanism is so stiff that most people don't know it is there. The white and yellow wires in the column harness are

Your comments about the fit of parts on the MGA had some good points, yet also some bad points. First, I do admire your perserverance and spirit. In many cases the factory did do a lot of hand fitti
