As there is no power at the gearbox, unless the o/d switch is on, you would=
 have to run power from the fuse box to the new switch then to the reverse =
lights.

Subject: [Healeys] Reversing light wiring

Hi,
I=92m thinking about fitting a reversing light to my 3000.
I was hoping to have it switched by the selection of reverse gear.
At first I thought I could piggy back it off the gearbox overdrive switch, =
but that seems like a non-runner for many reasons.

I keep emails to the list that interest me=85.for future reference. I came =
across this,  the only one on the topic. =94  (To Magnus Karlsson. 16th Mar=
ch =9299!!) :-

=93Earlier on this month there was a flurry of messages on how to install a=
 reversing light switch to the centre shift gearbox.

While I do not have a centre shift box I am told it is quite simple to do. =
As you sit in the car the overdrive inhibitor switch is located on the left=
 hand side of the remote control shift housing. All you do is to locate an =
additional switch directly opposite on the remote control shift housing in =
what is in effect a mirror image of what is already there. I am told it is =
matter of drilling a hole into the housing, tapping the correct thread and =
then installing in the switch.

I am also told that it is also possible to install a switch inside the bell=
 housing, around where the selector rods are, but I think that would be a p=
roblem with the switch being way out of reach.

All this sounds very difficulty without a gearbox in front of me, but I sus=
pect that even a dummy like me could stumble through it.

Well, this dummy has thought about it and not got the solution. I=92d mount=
 the second switch opposite the overdrive switch. But what about the wiring=
? Does anyone have a diagram? There=92s some basic principle that I=92m not=
 grasping=85.probably plain as a pikestaff once someone shows me.
Thanks,
Simon
