I'm glad to hear somebody is having the same problems as I, I actually read
the directions and it said be careful not to over tighten so I adjusted the
back nut and then tighten the other nut to the right pressure,Then there is
a UGLY black knob sticking out of my dash (can't have that) so I got the old
chrome knob pored a product called Mega-Quick into the hole of the chrome
knob it's suppose to set up like metal tomorrow I will drill and tap the
10-24 hole for the set screw,then drill a hole in the middle to slide on the
new switch and lock it down with the set screw hope it works, If it does
I'll let every body know!
