<x-flowed>Interesting on the shims.

I didn't over-tighten it.  It was the switch assembly itself.  And the 
icons on the stalk were sorta scratched, like it was a used unit.  On 
the one I do have, there's some sort of blister on the underside of the 
stalk.  I think it's metal flashing as it doesn't break apart like a 
paint bubble would.

I'm just tired of sub-standard parts and work.  It's all about quantity, 
not quality, for US resellers :-(
