I have a broken reverse switch indicator ping that controls the reverse lights. Since this does not seem to be reproduced, has anyone out there ever had to fabricate a new one?
Just checked a '67 parts book. Different p/n for the pin 2880 948Trying to remember exactly where I got the part number. My car is a '67, but I can't recall if I got my hands on '67 Parts book for that one or might have used a later book. However I just checked 1968 book and that's the number listed for all models using an automatic with column shift.
p/n 2883 211 and its listed in the steering section 19-46-44 as Pin, steering column gear tube switch, w/ auto transmission column shift.
I've cleaned the switch, it was gunked up, it now moves better, but then I noticed the pin flailing around...The part number does show up as available but be prepared for sticker shock.
If that pin is made of steel, one might pull the shifter hard enough to scatter the switch on the floor. The pin broke so binding in the switch may be the root cause. I would pull the switch and have a look at it. Cleaning and fresh lube could be doable.

I googled part number 2883211. Found 55 dollars at one vendor, Brads maybe?I'm prepared..... Who has the part?
That would be pretty nice. Still lots of cars with that type of switch for reverse lights.We have members here who could whip out a hundred of these if they would.
