doesn't even look like there a cutout for it. Is there some  secret location
for a reverse switch on the 69 spit? 


==AM==
I seem to recall on my old '69 Mk3 that the backup light switch was on a  
bracket mounted on top of the gearbox, forward of the shift extension. An  
eccentric "cam" lobe of sorts was mounted on the shift rail in the extension,  
and 
that engaged/disengaged the switch at the appropriate time.
