Default Re: Reverse lights what are you using?

To switch on the reversing lamps I fitted to my 35, I fitted a switch into the back of the shifter tower, so that when I engage reverse gear, the 1st/rev shifter rod contacts said switch and rev lites come on automatically. I knocked out the little plug in the end of the gearbox shifter housing that is fitted, and tapped the hole to suit the switch I used, which I sourced at a wreckers yard; it came out of the gearbox of some little Suzuki. I think in order to make it all work, I had to shorten the rod 1/4" or so.....Get creative, interesting little project for you. Enjoy the exercise....
