hi all , thanks for your input,

1, have reverse on my myfords7,, very handy

2, be handy to have reverse on the mill for extraction of broken bolts etc

3, Any1,, did like the switch on Ebay,,, need to sort the wiring out for it now,, i'e what I do and into which hole for the wirs

Diagrams of the connection box to help. and motor labal info

No diagram on the inside of the lid, no letters or numbers on the grommet beside the wires, will be checking the number of wires from the motor to the terminal block

That tells our age

does this help

Have an Alpine major 1982, would like to convert it from a forward only to a forward and reverse switch, can this be done

Sorry yes 2020

it not let me edit it now

Not easy more by eye than anything else , but seems to be inline ,did use a big set squre I had, did it like Ewin White did it by eye, centre punch the rank, the if you take the head to the top of the column you can pull the rack out at the bottom and get a screw driver behind it to drill it 1/4 inch drill bit and not mark the column that way,, same with the top of the rack,, move the head down the column to pull the rack out at the top.

Then after counter sunk the holes, use a transfer punk to mark the column after you eyed it up,, you can lock the head if you like, but I did not , drill the column , this is a cast , so easy to drill, and then tap 1/4 as I did, or as you your case metric size, cleaned up and then put the c/s screws in, job done
