The opposite of using the floor based dimmer too little, of course, is using
it too much. I bought a 1958 TR 3 in 1968, one evening I used the switch and
heard a sproing, clang and then the switch didn't work. Daylight revealed
that most of the switch was sill bolted to the floor. The cap and internal
spring had flown into the passenger compartment. The rivet at the top had
worn off if I remember correctly. I rescued it by drilling and tapping the
center post so that I could screw a pan head screw in to secure the top of
the switch. I don't know how many times I tapped on the floor to activate
the high beams once I got my TR-6. 8-)
