Re: Backup switch
Thanks for your response! Did you write down any info from your switches?? The only info I can see is the partial number between terminals. The PO cut off the daul plug for the round terminals and attached individual spade type connectors.

Re: Shifter tube
Engine is still in the body. I will start taking it out in the next few weeks. I will inspect transmission and motor mount after power train in on my work table. I know something is worn out or miss aligned due to the shifting tube almost hanging below the tunnel. Thanks for you input

Re: Shifter tube
Thanks for your reply and the link to your Corsa’s repairs. I will continue to dismantle
the power train and will check out the transmission mounts and shifter rod when they are out of the car.

Rear wheel hubs
I want to rebuild my spare 65 hubs and install them in my 66 next year. Every thing is the same except, the bolts that hold the covers for the universal joint. Why?? Can I use the 1/4-20 or do I need to retap hub to 5/16-24 and open up holes in cover??
