Looks like I posted how I did it back in this thread a couple of years back "quicksilver shifter fitted to LX with standard console"

So I emailed the vehicle standards branch of VicRoads as advised by their people who were unable to find an answer when I rang them (very helpful as I have usually found).

 

Took quite a while to get a response - a month!

 

Here it is:

And the section referred to in the reply.

So it would seem that in their opinion there is no requirement for a position indicator or illumination for a pre 1976 vehicle. No requirement for illumination post 1975.

 

So the B&M in the LJ isn’t illegal after all!

 

Could be some interesting discussion regarding what “post 1975” means. Lots of ways to interpret that statement.

 

Thankyou to everyone who managed to dig out old documents, they were very helpful.
