reversing light speedometer switch - alternate solution

[Toby Erkson <Toby_Erkson@ccm2.hf.intel.com>]

What about installing a micro-switch that closes when the shifter is pushed 
into the reverse location?  I used a micro-switch in my 914 to turn on a 
fan when the heater lever was pushed all of the way back.  The switches 
I've seen already have holes in them so mounting is very easy, just 
position where you need the switch and drill two mounting holes and screw 
in.

No I don't want to pull the box and engine again to install the later
nose cone. My 'S' has the early nose cone which doesn't even have an
allen head plug ready for the switch so I will use the speedo actuated
switch for my "reverse lights" or back up lights to you Yankies!!
Those speedo switch's are a little hard to get I might add.
