    On the TA22 its in the metal housing that the ignition switch mounts to. You have to drill out the bolts from memory to remove it.

    Got it,

    Removed the whole housing it was inside that, there was a press in disk, drilled a hole in that and levered it out, then pulled the spring out, got the key shaft out and the lock slid right out.

    Thanks

    The regs for some events require it be removed/disabled

    Most events above 2S. Unless the car is road registered.
