could it be a reverse lock-out.
as it seems to be quite attached to gear lever and going down that side of the hole?????

ditto

it will go into the hole in the front of the box where the reverse light could go, you will have to pull the twagger to lift the detent plunger so that it will go into reverse

Good man! I've been looking for a decent picture of one of these for ages, it is a reverse gear lockout and I need to find or fabricate one.

Is that Mike Youles? The website seems to be down.

If it is Mike I'll see if I can catch him at Caburn Classics.

Thanks for the tip.
