Hi Mike
The 2000, 2500 MKII sedans have a rally homologation top with a hole in it
where the extra switch for the 2nd O/D will go, these holes have a plug. I'm
not sure if the same thing applies to the TR6, one of these plugs would do
the job you want and they are sometimes available from boxes where the 2nd
overdrive has been fitted!
Graham.
