Backup Light Switch and Bracket

[cwmcobra]

I need a backup light switch and bracket for the T-10 4-speed in my 65 GS restoration.  Anybody have one their willing to part with?

Thanks,

Chuck

They are reproduced for the corvettes, but make sure you are sitting down when you see the prices.  You have to cut the wires shorter on the switch and splice in the correct female bullet connector.  Connectors you need to do this are same as what is on the backup lights, so cut them off a junk set of backup lights--only difference is the wire on the backup lights is green instead of black, but if you put black heat shrink over the wires, they will be black.

That may be a "stock photo" because I think some of those early vettes used the correct ends. If the vette guys do not have it,try the M&H electrical site. I know it is made just cannot remember who I got it from. It does look like they got a little rarer as far as I remember pricewise. You have to have the little hole on the reverse linkage arm to adjust that little arm.

Make sure you get the bracket for a T10.  The Muncie bracket WILL NOT fit a T10--Muncie has only 7 bolts in side cover, so they are further apart than the 9 bolts are on a T10 side cover.   The switch and everything else is the same between Muncie and T10 though.

Correct ends?

Yes!  That is it!  Not a bad price either considering the price of the chevy ones with the wrong connectors.  At that price, everyone with a 65GS 4-speed car ought to buy a spare and keep it on the shelf.

Looks like it's also for '66. I may have to get a spare. Even though I won't be able to find it in the event I need it sometime!
