Allen,
Yes - chrome stalked OD switch goes opposite side of turn signal stalk. And 
up is OFF, down is ON (unlike USA house light switches). The chrome shaft 
matches turn signal shaft and is matched in length, (TR4A and onward use 
plastic 
black covering on shaft and a longer shaft length as well as a plastic column 
plinth to accomodate 4A-6's relocated head light switch).
I believe the relay is located on interior firewall left of heater box. (I 
haven't installed mine yet so that's all I can tell you). The wiring harnesses 
should help you locate correct location - might even be a screw hole already.
The correct OD column switch (chrome stalk and short length) are real hard to 
find, many times a later  longer switch installed/ or sold.
Good luck,
Carl
'63 TR44 since '74

This pertains to early TR4s, 62, 63, ?, and not 4A. I am installing  
an overdrive in a car which did not have OD. It is my understanding  
that the OD switch is on the right side of the steering column  
opposite the turn signal switch. Can anyone verify this? I also need  
the location of the relay. This may become self evident when I begin  
to place the wiring later today.
Thanks,
Allen Hess<BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> See what's
