For the non engineers here - what's a blue die spring and where do you get it and what do you ask for? :?

Die springs are used in metal forming dies, toolmakers use em.
Places like Automatic Springs in Sydney sell them.
I'll measure one up and post size later today. :wink:

Can anyone answer my other question? For this to work it has to supply +12v to the both rear indicators. I've only got the 1 spade to connect to the switch (pair of green wires, not sure on traces). So does this mean I'll have to route a +12v constant to the other side of the switch? (I'm fine with auto-electrics and wiring, just wanted to make sure this is how they work)

Positive feed to one side - other side goes down the back to the lights. When reverse is selected it closes the switch and provides power to the lights - other side of the bulbs go to earth. Source your positive lead from the switched side of the ignition switch
