Dress nuts for mini-toggles

[James_rc]

I’m currently installing the hardware on my chassis and ran into a bit of a puzzle on the mini-toggles.

With the dress nuts fully tightened there’s still some play on my mini-toggles. Should I just thread the two interior nuts forward a smidge? Is there a standard order of operations for installing these? TIA.

Remove the washer with the tab on it, not needed. I put one nut on, tooth washer next and insert into chassis and add the second nut. You can adjust the first nut for the correct length. In your case you would only need one nut, tooth washer and dress nut.

Thanks, Ian.

I felt silly asking, but I'd rather ask and get it right.

It would be most helpful to have a very thin and kinked mini-wrench to tighten them from behind. Bruce from Mission Amps, IIRC, had a custom wrench made which he offered to tighten the hard-to-get-to Fender jewel lamp assembly. I need to have one made for these mini-toggles because the dress nut forces one to tighten them from inside the chassis

I just use the hex washer on the outside and tighten with a nut driver. The tabbed washer is for anti-rotation (I know you know that), I always drill a detent hole next to the switch and use that washer from inside the chassis. It makes tightening those switches super easy.
