Reverse Light Switch

As fitted to Type g/b. I need a suitable connector, for the loom.

Aside from the most obvious choice - scrounging one from a scrapper Sierra - are there any other alternative connectors?

if it is the same as mk2 eescort switch, then you can use a female bullet connector. or make your own from some copper tubing.

bullet connectors are a perfect fit

Meant to put "Type 9" g/b!! Thanks for your suggestions. Should have been a bit more specific about the space problem. See next link for clarification :-

Solution - An hour's mucky toil, down at the local scrapper's oily yard, extracting the internal trim, to reach the connector.

As the previous thread explained, the clearance, between tunnel wall and the switch contacts, is very restricted. Bullet connectors would have to be cranked at 90 degrees.
