Today I finished my "backup" project. After numerous modifications to a couple different switches, I picked the more recently aquired one with a shorter threaded portion.
This morning, removed the tower off my tranny and installed my extra tower with switch installed. Then ran wires from ignition to tranny switch, tranny switch to rear of truck using 14 gauge wire.
Because the switch is on the passenger side I ran the wire out into the engine compartment and then across and down the passenger side towards the battery. Hopped over to the tranny and then back towards the rear of the truck. The tabs of the switch were a little long so I had to bend them 90 degrees for clearance.
Installing the lights, I had to bore a 3/4" hole for the bulb terminal, followed by the bolting holes. All went well as expected.
Here's an update from my webshot folder:
