Reverse switch location? - Page 2

This is from years ago, so not sure if it'll help, but as you can see, the yellow and red are reverse connected

Just to close the thread, which has developed into sorting out the radio....
I swapped the radio from the duo tone into the new car to check the wiring in the new car was ok. It was.😁
Then took a closer look at the loom which was fitted on the after market radio,

Noticed that there were some intermediary connectors, one of which wasn’t connected, and one which went from red to yellow.
Remade connections: red to red, yellow to yellow, and refitted to the duo tone.
Stereo fired up, without bringing on the wipers.😁
Just no radio stations, as I haven’t got a connector to come from the antenna plug to the stereo.🙄
Will investigate the reverse switch on top of the gearbox next week, to see if I can sort out the gear selector led not lighting up in “R”.
Thanks for all the help.
