Boy do I need help on this one.  The original ignition switch on my
1974 TR6 is mangled (key broken off, keyway bent up with a screwdriver)
and has been bypassed with a generic switch attached right where
my right knee fits under the console.  I have just received a new
switch with nice bolts at the top of the clamp for attachment to the
steering column.  BUT, I can't for the life of me figure out how to
remove the old original switch.  It has NO nice bolts at the top.
>From what I can see, there is some sort of rivet at the top on each
side, and the design suggets it was never intended to come off!  I
have been cursing the DPO, but now I think I see why he gave up on
taking the old switch out.  God knows why he mangled it in the first
place though.  Any help would be appreciated.
