| Post subject: | bracket needed for push button trans back up light switch |
I am working on my 1964 Valiant 2 dr base with 225 and push button transmission. It was supposed to be an easy 'fix a few things' to get it on the road. Marge and I had several Valiants back in the very early 70's with the slant 6, plus an ex-railroad pickup truck and a 68 Dart. All of them clocked over 200K before we gave them away or the Upstate NY rust won. While I am waiting for parts I ordered I wanted to tackle something easy: I have the push button transmission. There is no factory or dealer backup light switch or wiring. The wiring is no problem and I do have a NOS backup switch but do not have the bracket to mount it. I thought I would be able to knock out a simple pattern then make a bracket from heavier gauge metal. However, my days of spending a couple hours under the dash are apparently long gone. Under the car and working in the engine compartment are going well but I got stuck under the dash for awhile until I managed to wiggle my way out. Too many old accidents, a little arthritis and all of a sudden I can't move around like I think I can. Does anyone have bracket they no longer need who is willing to sell it or loan one to me so I can use it for a pattern to make one? I have the bracket laid out with the holes for the mounting legs and it works if I hold it up to the shifter. I just don't have the hands or eyesight to make the pattern for the 90 degree bend or where the mounting holes should be. Thanks, Jim Wilkins in St David, AZ |

Wow! I never thought anyone would need/want that little bracket, but I have one in my hands right now. If you PM me your address I will send it to you free of charge. My 63 doesn't have B/U lights and I don't plan to add them. Cheers - Michael |
