Where can I get a new reverse switch? How much?, Lou, 72 pantera. Also, When I put a 25 amp American fuse in of the same amp, it blows after about 15 min. Why? Hard to find 25 and especially 30 pointy fuses.

The wires on the outside aren't touching each other are they?
Pantera East sells the switches for around $40. But, it sounds like you have a short somewhere.
Pantera East was out of them last week, but all of the vendors usually stock them.
Most of these switches seem to lose the cover plate on the bottom of the switch. Check this and see if dirt, mud, corrosion has shorted out the contacts that are supposed to be covered. You should be able to remove and clean if need be.

Make sure you're using the European type open ceramic fuses. They radiate heat, whereas the glass type trap the heat in and quickly melt the wire inside. Seriously.
I found mine at Pep Boys.
