IML: 67 Back Up Lights

["Haze Green Wonder" <imperial1967@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gang,

In my latest round with Titanic the 67 sedan, I've been having my mechanic 
sort out 21 years of electrical gremlins.  For the first time in 21 years I 
have a fully functional turn signal switch, and all my brake lights work.  I 
have a working horn after 12 years.   So in the entire 21 years I've owned 
the car the back up lights haven't worked so while we were on a roll I asked 
him to check into those.... The scoop is there's a lever in the steering 
column that activates the switch, and the lever is broken (he thinks it can 
be welded)  but we also know the switch is bad. The switch controls the back 
up lights, and causes the emergency brake release to engage.  Also curious 
as to the availability or fix for the canister/actuator that controls the 
Emergency Brake Release. As I've replaced mine 3 times with used ones, that 
have lasted a very short time.

So I'd love to hear everyone's feedback on these items, parts and work 
arounds.
