Re: [T3] 'Pickup' on Speedo Cable


<x-charset iso-8859-1>>The picture of the kit seems to show just one light.  Did it come that
way, or is only one pictured?

Yes, the early kit came with only one light.  There were at least 2 styles
of reverse light, the more desirable/valuable/earlier style light, has more
of a lip over the top of it to shield the light from the sun.

I've seen this exact setup on a few Bug and Type 3s, the light was almost
always mounted on the left side, although whether it was actually mounted
on the other side in RHD countries is unknown to me.

There was also a reverse light setup that I have seen more on Buses where
there was a bracket mounted near the transmission nosecone that closed a
switch when you put it into reverse based on the position of the hockey
stick/shift rod.  The wiring for this setup up was coil -> inline fuse ->
switch -> reverse light similar to the late 60s Type 3s.  The reverse light
was usually cut into the body above the left side taillight.  It was stock
on Ambulances.
