I was never sure whether it was true or another Group A SD1 urban myth- I can just picture the conversation at scrutineering- 'Is that a proper homologated bottle of Fairy Liquid?'
Correct! Apparently so and the switch was linked to the reverse light switch. Also a switch label ' TPAI' or something similar 'Tony Ponds Amazing Idea'...

How true? We'll never know!
