[DeTomaso] Reverse switch issues

[Peter Menyhart]

I had that problem years ago and found a reverse switch that I could modify.It came from a Saab(think it was a 900) It has an aluminum housing that is thicker and longer than the original ZF switch.Other than that its about the same size and shape. I tapped the hole in the ZF shifterhousing and turned the aluminum switch down and cut the same thread on it --fit perfect and looked nice too.

> I recently bought a reverse switch for my ZF.  The ZF shift housing has a hole for the reverse switch to fit into, but it isn't threaded.  The reverse switch has a threaded neck with one nut.  I was told to find a thin M10 nut that can go on the inside and outside, but I have only 0.13" to work with between the inside of the housing and the shifter shaft.

I have a hunch that finding a thin enough nut is going to be a challenge.  I've also considered filling with a metal-bearing epoxy and threading that.
