backup light switch

[74M35A2]

Thanks for the pics. So, does the bracket already have the hole in it to install a second detent switch for reverse (but the military never used one)? Also, since both switches are NO (Normally Open), could one just acquire a second neutral safety switch and it would therefore have the correct threads to be plug-and-play and not require a bushing? This is only if both holes have the same thread. Thanks.

Unfortunately in the shifter housing the holes are different sizes. The problem is not insurmountable though. I went to the local hardware store and bought a threaded brass reducing bushing that fit both the switch and the shifter housing. It's been working perfectly for 15 years now and cost around $4.00.

The military did use reverse lights, just not on the standard versions. The two sensors have different wire ends.

Greg, do you have the reverse switch? How much are they now?
