Plug for gearbox nose cone

Had no luck posting in buy/sell parts, so here I go again.

I've got a new late model nose cone to go on an early beetle & I need something to fill the hole where the reverse switch goes.

The proper plug would be great but even a buggered switch would do.

Can anyone help?

Regards,

Matt.

All I can really suggest is to measure the size / thread and get a stubby bolt to fit in it. I guess at worst you could put something behind it and pack it with JB weld.

a buggered switch would normally leak oil.
a lot of early irs boxs have the plug as they didnt came with reverse lights untill about 1972
try calling the Pells they may have one.
