I was wonderin if a 74, 1100 clubbie rod change has reverse lights. I know there are wires goin to the selectors but mine arnt connected up at the moment and they wernt connected when I bought it.

Yes, all Clubbies have twin filament rear blinker bulbs. Wiring on remote shift (early ) gearboxes was from a switch in front of box (below oil filter)- on rod change boxes the switch is in the shifter box, near the gearlever.

On early cars they are up the front behind the grille. When I put a rod change box into one I had to run the wires along the subframe to get to the reverse switch.
On the later rodchange cars (I've got one) I can't remember how the wires get to the switch near the gearstick.
The wire colours you are looking for are green, and green/black. :wink:

BTW I've just found most wiring diagrams here for Clubbie are BS, including the ones in the official Leyland `Black Book'. Just crappy reprints of UK Mini wiring.. all wrong for ours! :x

JAM was a 100% original clubby when I got it, and that is how the reverse wiring was. It's a 76 model.

The wire to the box comes from the loom just behind the front bumper. It's a long dual wire.....it goes under the subframe and is very susceptible to damage. Check that out.

Yep i know about that, my wires were exposed by a low flying object and were shorting on the chassis and i couln't work out where the short was unit the car kept blowing fuses everytime i put it into reverse so i found it that way. I still have to replace the wires as i just disconnected it :oops:
