I'd been thinking about that question for a day or two. Couldn't arrive at anything. Glad you have it sorted. You'd think it would be easy to find something to scotch lock onto!

How about using reverse light switch on the gearbox ?

Why not just rub a feed from the light stock on/off lead to a relay supplied by the battery?
