[Mg-t] Ignition, headlamp switch

[Lew Palmer]

Andy,

Twist the chrome face against the switch body. DO NOT pry up the tabs. This
should free the operating mechanism. Then, remove the small nut at the
center of the rear. That will free the lock barrel. There will be a small
knob which engages with the barrel sleeve. Press that in and the lock barrel
will come free. Also, DO NOT try to remove the barrel sleeve from the switch
body as they tend to fracture.

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

I've got a NOS ignition switch to install in my TD, but there is no key
number stamped on the face, and of course my key doesn't fit.



Anyone have any tricks on how to disassemble so I can either change out
the cylinder or take it to a locksmith?



I recall that when I was restoring the original I snapped off the lamp
switch handle trying to get it apart.
