Switch will accommodate one or the other, but not both

Yeah, that’s the problem, just one tang to activate the switch, just b/u lights or reverse lights

So I started to search and found a kit that has two tangs one each for each function NSS and B/U lights
It seems to be this part number BL1400U

But it mounts down on the shift rail problem averted sort of. How do I wire it up, sure wish Vet vett was around maybe I should drop down to the electrical forum

Used my impact/driver to pull my sheet metal screws out
Having the seal under the head of the screw helped with keeping the body panel adhesive off
Faster then cutting SS heads off

Re: PO has me PO'd

Well I have to admit this body panel adhesive is as strong as welding, problem with welding you can’t weld aluminum to steel

I’ve pushed and pulled on the cage nuts and they didn’t break free
So this was a win/win for me

Thanks for stopping by Jess, your interior is looking great on the Grand Thief Auto

I wonder how many other people have used panel adhesive not for intended purposes

Keep up the great work on your project, maybe see you soon?

Studs aren’t quite lining up so I’ll go back and get them all started, adjust as needed, repete, repete

Well ventilated as I didn’t read precautions dust mask wouldn’t hurt, it has a limited warranty, so that can’t be good

Re: PO has me PO'd

Don’t you just luv it when an idea in your head actually works out. So, panel bond does work for adhering aluminum to steel

Finishing the balance of my relief cut, seems a 3flute cuts better or my 4flute was dull, but the 3flute clears chips better

Wanted to cushion anodized cover from nuts, thinking about studs instead of bolts

5/16 washers on 1/4-20 studs
Black and white wires I want to hook up to the light on control panel
Fuse holder can mount on lip of dash to conceal extra holes from the Po’s handy work
