Hello, everyone.

I did try this today.  So easy....  The tap is 6 - 32, the inset screws are 
6-32 3/8.  You don't have to redrill the hole at the end of the switch stem, 
just tap it, and it all goes into place.

Thanks again, Randall.  I upgrade my debt to two cerveza's du jour at the 
Triumph Inn.
