About 25 years ago, the ignition switch on my Mk1 Ruby developed a fault, whereby it tended to stay permanently on whenever the spade key was turned to the 'off' position. I imagine this is now a fairly common fault, given the age of the component involved. As a short term workaround, I simply installed a separate switch and re-routed the wiring accordingly.
Fast forward to now and I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who can actually repair these things? I've so far resisted the temptation to take it apart myself, on the grounds that I've heard these are tricky to get back together again. Many thanks.
In the event that I end up tackling this job myself, the article below from the Cornwall Austin Seven Club could be just the thing!
