ok the ones that screw in, they are quite large? and they screw in above the bell housing?

Nope about the same size as a temp sender, it's over near the shift linkage.

The big hole in the bell housing is just there to see the timing mark on the flywheel. I should have a cover in it, which can be a RWC requirement depending on how uptight the inspecticor is. I think I've got a spare or two

I think all 5 speeds had the screw in kind. I'll see if I can find a pic.

If your's doesn't you might be stuck with the old style switch.

This is how mine looks.

You can see the little sender just beside the selector housing. I reckon there's a square recess on you box in this area which might be for a switch.

Like this one

I'll have a look and see if I can confirm.
