I found this and copy/pasted it below for your info.
"With the cowl removed, you have access to the ignition switch which is held in place by two bolts of the "torque to breaking" design. This leaves two headless bolts to be removed if you want to remove the entire switch, tumbler assembly and hold down. Use a cutoff wheel in a Dremel style tool to cut a cross slot in each headless bolt, allowing a screwdriver blade to be used to remove them. Disconnect the wiring at the plug in connector under the dash.
The bolts used to hold the switch assembly to the steering column are a standard size, 5/16"-18 UNF, and the factory bolts can be replaced with either a hex head machine bolt or a socket head cap screw with no problems when reassembling the part.
Installation is the reverse of removal. If removing the switch from the attachment mechanism, there is one small cross point screw which holds the plastic switch in place on the bottom of the left hand side of the attachment assembly. "
If your switch is toast,your best bet may be to find a used one off another MG somewhere as opposed to ordering one from Moss as those switches seem to be of poor quality although I ordered mine from "Octagon motors in Vancouver Canada and the replacement has been doing well for me.
