69 Z/28 Day II Project (Air Force Brat)

Does anybody out there have a factory reverse tab with the hole for the switch leg off a 68 manual trans with reverse light switch? I tried drilling the Hurst shifter tab and it's hardened A36. I'd like to find the right reverse tab to use with the reverse light switch off a 68?

Don't think I need a hardened reverse tab. Not doing demolition derby just yet. (LOL)

Graeme, A 68 trans tag wont work either unless you grind/modify it for the bolt type retention, your trans appears to use bolts to retain the tag, 69 style, the tag has 2 indents for the bolt, 68 tags use a stud that is flattened on both side.

You may be able to drill that tag if you use a carbide tip bit and a little heat.
Ron Derrry at Custom balancing has a EDM machine if you go that way.

Ill look tonite in my orphan Hurst stuff to see if I have a tag that will work.
