[TR] Inquiring minds

[John Mitchell]

Hi Randall,  I have a quick question for you.  I have a new Stag 
overdrive transmission that was put together by Quantum Mechanics.  Only 
problem is that the top cover has the overdrive switch way out at the 
front top spot on the top cover.  I was a little worried about the 
switch hitting sheet metal when I do the transmission swap, so I picked 
up another top cover.  This cover has 2 switches at the back, 1 on each 
side.  Can this cover be used for overdrive, or would I need to tap 
another hole for an additional switch?  Are the 2 switches for seat belt 
and reverse?   Thanks for any advice.     John Mitchell
