Can anyone tell me how to remove the key barrel from a 1969 Series 2 T type?
Dr Google tells me there is a small hole in the casing and if you insert a pin, with the key turned to Aux, the lock pulls out but I can't see a hole.

iirc there is a small screw holding the electric switch at the back of the steering lock. When the switch is removed you can then take the ignition switch. As I said iirc.
If that doesn’t help I can try to get at my own switch. Good luck, Geoff

Thank you for your reply but I want to remove the key barrel not the switch. I have already removed the switch. Probably should have put the correct information in the subject title! Rookie error!

Ok, maybe I used the wrong words, but iirc, when you’ve removed the switch you can gain access to the key barrel. As shown on Steve’s link above
