Daft Question My Mk2 Rossa has a switch on the dashboard to activate the reversing lights, as due to the rod change mods, the existing housing switch is on the wrong side; therefore, is it possible to drill and tap the gear change housing in situ to fit a reversing switch, or do I have to pull the rear subframe and all engine bits out to remove the rods and gear lever housing? J. |

Per the build manual you do drill and tap the gearchange housing to fit the switch on the other side. We did this but it didn't work (so put in a manual switch). I suspect this is due to difficulty getting exactly the right position, and/or the housing being thinner in the new location. I suspect difficult to do in situ. I can't remember whether the access hole in the tunnel would in principle make this possible in situ. I hope this helps. |

There must be a simpler solution to this. What is needed is some way to reverse the switch signal, make on become off. I have limited electrical knowledge but I am sure there must be something out there that would do this. My first thought was to look for a switch which works the oposite to what you have, push to make or push to break. Or a simple circute using a 12v relay wired to switch the power. |

Reed switch and magnet would be simple. I did drill/tap the housing on the coupe, but landed up having to JB weld a half nut on to give it strength. |

Thanks all and I think I'll not bother with trying to do this, as I cannot get enough clearance on the tunnel to drill/tap correctly and based on what you all have told me, it's a bit hit and miss. J. |
