How do I go about removing the Lucas TCS34 trafficator switch from my steering column, I've been told there is a clamp holding it on but I cant find it, im probably being completely blind to it but any help is welcomed!

thanks!

If this is on your Big 7, the clamp is right at the bottom of the steering box, in the engine bay. Releasing this will allow the switch, complete with the supporting inner tube to be released from the column. You may need to open the sunroof to get it out, or lower the column if there is no sunroof. Good luck!

If it is the same as my Ruby once the bottom clamp has been removed you can pull it out as described by Parazine until it is clear of the steering wheel then if working from below the steering wheel remove the three small nut that hold it to the inner column. Remember to disconnect the indicator and horn connections from under the bonnet.

Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.
