[T3] 1964 ignition switch

[Simon Glen <simonglen@bigpond.com>]

My 1964 model notchback (built Sep '63 with VIN 247 098) has
problems with the ignition switch in the steering column.  I assume
that the contacts have become worn down with age and use.  So, I
have removed it from the steering column to reveal the wiring.

The car runs and drives but has to be started by connecting the wires
behind the ignition switch.  I know nothing about electricity
(whiteman's magic!).  Can somebody please tell me which wires I
should connect or touch together with a screwdriver in order to get
the car to start.  When I bought the car the bloke selling it started
it this way when demonstrating the car to me.

Also, how do you stop the engine like this.  To date I have been
stalling it to stop the motor.
