Reversing light switch and LT77 sherpa remote
Hi all,
I hope you don't mind me asking a question here even though I don't actually have a V8 (the engine is a Dolly sprint unit, so almost half a V8, if that counts? ).
I've just fitted a sherpa remote to my LT77 gearbox (ex-TR7), and I'm a bit stuck trying to see how the reversing light switch is supposed to work. It looks as though the switch is on the wrong side of the remote (so it would work if reverse gear was below 5th). Hopefully this photo (taken with reverse gear selected) might show things more clearly. As you can see, the reversing switch (on the left) is nowhere near the gear linkage:
Is this normal when fitting a Sherpa remote to these gearboxes, have I got the wrong parts, or am I just missing something else? All suggestions gratefully received...
Thanks!

looks like a typical weld on that type of alloy. don't know what the composition is but it doesn't hold any structure when its melted so you don't get the row of pennies type weld like you do on quality aluminium. Its the same alloy as the front covers and probably the rocker covers. Bike engine covers used to be the same as well.
