As an addendum,
I did a little "digging" after I sent my initial response. If you have the
Haynes Spitfire manual you can look at the wiring diagram on Pages 248-249
for the North American LHD Spitfire MKIV from 1972. Item 52 is listed as
the Belt warning gearbox switch. If you shifted out of neutral in to any
gear with your seat belt not fastened, the buzzer sounded. And yes, on the
3-rail gearbox it is mounted on the passenger side of the bracket opposite
the OD interlock switch. Somewhere I have a drawing of the bracket with the
switches mounted and labeled. If I can find it, I'll post it for future
reference.

Tony is correct. I put the ohmeter on my exposed wire bundle and the
passenger side switch goes to the seats. I got rid of that switch and
with some adjustments the odd looking cam engages the OD switch
smoothly, no flex , no drag.
