The reversing light switch for 3 and 4-synchro gearboxes (except for rod change types which Mini Spares can also cater for) is a case in point. However, it should be noted with caution that there are other \u2018replacements\u2019 on the market. Some of these even bear the same GAE131 part number but have the wrong thread and plunger sizesize; these errors can causes seizure, closure or jamming of the switch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using the Mini Spares part will ensure the correct functional switch and Mini Spares can help also if you are unsure or need additional items to go with the switch such as: the required 3cm spring (2A3647) and insulating fibre washer and small plug (22G351) in the gearbox. These are needed to activate the switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mini Spares GAE131 Reversing Light Switch retails at just \u00a330.00 inc. VAT So, there is no reason to go for dubious alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details contact Mini Spares on<br>+44 1707 607700 or visit their website: www.minispares.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mini Spares is constantly introducing parts for classic Minis to replace those that are no longer available.
