Random Part Number - Reverse Switch

[JackIIA]

Anyone know what part number this is? I don't see it in the Series IIA or III part manuals. It's been awhile since I took the transmission in my IIA to pieces, and I don't even remember how it attaches to the shift! But as I recall, this is the switch that actuates the back up lamp when you throw the truck in reverse.

I believe a workaround for this part is to use #575166 (the stop light switch attached to the servo), but if it's not priced nutty, original would be great.

Also, if anyone has replaced the reverse lamp switch with a non-original switch of similar design (e.g., one that didn't require them to bore a hole in the main gear shift support bracket (see link below) please let me know!

Thanks,

Jack
