Default TILT SWITCH?????,

Hey everyone im looking for a tilt switch for my shifter. (manual trans) I have an 88 gt hatch.

The switch needs to be closed when the shifter is vertical and in neutral, and open when in any of the gears. It must be small enough to fit under the boot and not get in the way

Can anyone help?

Im cant seem to find any.
Where do i look.

Thanks

A mercury switch would p!ss you off if you park on a hill [&:]

What's wrong with the ignition/clutch lockout? You can't start the car unless the clutch is depressed..
