<VV> opinion on backup light switches

[Frank DuVal]

Tim, oh I mean Matt, has an idea for a backup lamp switch that seems 
easy, but the pictures were too small and dark for me to make out what 
he had done. Seems a lot cheaper and longer lasting than the factory 
version for 61 to 65 4 speed.

Oh Mr. Nall, your assistance is needed!
