Subject: LG45 Reversing Lights and switch
My Sanction 3 LG45 DHC (with central gear change lever) was originally fitted with reversing lights and as called up on the factory records.
There was a switch incorporated in the side of the remote housing / tower which house the secondary selectors and gear stick.
After some research I discovered this switch appears to be identical to the 1960's Rover 100 P4 overdrive inhibitor switch Lucas item 31542 and similar switches are still commonly available ( but nowadays with tag connections rather than screw terminals) for the likes of Triumph TR6, spitfire and Ford tractors!
I managed to find and old stock Lucas one with the correct screw connections but the modern replacements look the same apart from that ( but probably not the same quality either).
So this info may help some one who wants to have working reversing lights...
