[TR] TR4A overdrive column switch wire routing?

[DAVID MASSEY]

It's the same sad story on a TR6.  They get routed with the turn signal wires.  And the trough isn't big enough.  I fought thia with my TR6 and it took me an inordinant amount of time.  
I'd categorize this as one of those not so easy things.  A partial disassembly of the steering column is in the works.

I am going to be adding an overdrive to my transmission this fall, and I am trying to get the “easy stuff” done ahead of time.  

As I look at the column with the original escutcheon halves removed, I do not see a good way to get the wires into the column “head” to join the other switch wires.  There does not seem to be much room to feed them in without pinching against the metal of the column, but if it goes forward of the turn signal switch.  And if the wires pass rearward of that switch then they could interfere with the self-cancelling mechanism.

And then once the wires are in there, how do they get fed down and out the column to go into that long narrow cover on the bottom of the column along with the other wires

And those wires already there seem to completely FILL the available space inside that cover!

How do I free up that cover to get
It loose enough to pass the OD wires?

So many questions!!!  Sorry!!
