To follow up - is there an easy way of fitting a switch into the gearbox to activate the reversing lights?
What would Macgyver do..?

Not quite true... its only the boxes on 1275 cars that are suitable. If you want to keep the minor ratios etc you can swap the remotes over.

There's a fair bit of space under the rubber gearstick gaiter. If you're nifty with metal you could rig up a switch with spring clips etc.

Mr Grumpy's done a switch and bracket for the Moggy, I used a micro switch from Maplin and made a bracket to bolt on top of the gearbox underneath the rubber gaitor. Been working for 6 months with no problems. If you want I can do a photo to show how it all fits.

a handy place to get the live is from the starter solenoid
