NOS I've seen up to $180 so far. This must be a bargain then.
We need to find a close enough or usable solution.

i've thought about that. the switch from other brands(ford) kept coming up during my search, im sure modification can be made to make it work...

I just used a standard momentary switch.
I have a Lokar shift boot over my factory shifter just to make things look nice, so it also covers up the reverse switch. I just got a cheap momentary switch from the auto parts store and ultimately ended up running new wiring to it since the old wiring was pretty munched up, but it's a very easy way to do it.

The only special thing I had to do (besides the wiring, but I don't think that would normally need to be done) was make the whole on the bracket a little bit bigger. Otherwise everything is just as it would have been factory, except the switch is black plastic...and made in China.

I think the whole thing including the wiring was less than $10.

I paid about $50 3 years ago for one....worked every time! Went into the Grey Goose that Delmo restored...maybe he still has the switch?

Somewhere I saw a good explanation of adding a backup switch, now can't find it. But I did see this, if it helps.

Hi guys
here is what i did, Napa momentary switch for 7.99, plus a little drilling and bending and measuring twice.
