I guess I'll stick with my jerry-rigged reverse switch that works off the
tail end of the reverse rail.

Don't see the need to obtain a three boss cover and since the pre-drilled
don't seem to be readily available go to the expense of drilling three
switch holes plus the filler hole.
BTW- I was somewhat surprised by the anemic light of the standard bulb. I
ordered one of the Litezupp 1156 90d +ground LED replacements and ...
Well, you see the difference:

'upright' so that it would not drag on entering/leaving my driveway.
This has been very educational and thanks to all who have added to the
discussion.

Yes, exactly.

No. TR3 always used the raised bosses (which were even pre-drilled and
tapped on early cars). The shift rails don't even have the notches for the
rear locations to work. (And of course it takes two switches for a TR3
overdrive, since it also works in 2nd gear.)
I'm not sure why they switched later on, but I'm guessing it had to do with
limited clearance over the front of the gearbox.
