just ordered one of these eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace going to get the cobbler to engrave an R onto it to use as a reverse switch has anyone else done this and will it pass the IVA ?

I did that, the ally bit on the front comes off with some picking, then i just letter stamped REV into it and stuck it back on,
was fine for IVA main thing is to interlock the switch with the neutral light so that you can not activate reverse while in a forward gear.

hope this helps

I think that linking the reverse with the neutral light is a must, accidentally switching the reverse on when moving forward
wouldn't be a good thing! I have a main switch and a small joystick + have also linked it with the brake light switch, applying the brakes switches the reverse off.
For marking the switch I used Letraset.

is that a requirement for the iva or just something you did for precaution ?

i thought as much but wasn't 100% sure thanks

here's one i made earlier

just ordered a universal brake light switch to wire inline on the reverse circuit, going to fit it behind the clutch peddle so the reverse button only works when the clutch is pressed ....
