Default C2 backup light switch question

I have a question concerning the mounting of the switch...I have all the componants and want to mount them on my trans.....
Now the problem...
these are made to mount on the muncies...i have an aftermarket borg/warner that i bought 30 years age and have never run in my car...
I found out that the side case bolt pattern is different in that the bracket holes will not line up...
Now the Question....
Do they make a bracket that will work on the borg/warner and still use all the other small parts to make the backup lightswitch work??

I put a backup light on my 63 vette T10 Borg Warner tranny just recently. My backup light mounting bracket was also for a Muncie. You have to drill another hole in the bracket to fit the BG tranny. Had to bend the small rod a little dirrerently also but all in all it wasn't too hard. My backlight lights work great now. I tried to find a BG mounting bracket also but couldn't find one so hence the modifications. Hope this helps. LMa1939

I deleted some of your answer...Do you remember which hole or holes on the bracket you used to match up the best angle for the rod?

I used the existing left hole with the mounting bracket held against the way it mounts to the tranny at an angle and drilled a new hold in the right side of the bracket. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out once you hold it in place where it goes. Good Luck....LMa1939
