Default Reverse switch.

Does anyone know if there is an alternative reverse switch that'll work on an IB5?

My 2 pin plug has fallen to bits and I cant find a replacement, so I was wondering if anybody has used a newer type switch and spliced in the required plug.

cheers.

i'm running an ib5 and when i needed that plug i went to the scrapyard and chopped one off a ford fiesta/fusion loom. the clip that holds it onto the switch didn't work but it was a tight enough fit to stay on, and my reverse lights are working fine

Yeah, I've just found out that the later style switchs came in some IB's. Ordered one and then managed to find the suitable plug on an old focus loom in the garage.
