[DeTomaso] Reverse switch issues

You can grind a nut thinner with your bench grinder.  Double nut it 
overhanging the end of a bolt and go for it.

I was told to find a thin M10 nut that can go on the inside and outside, but I have only 0.13" to work with between the inside of the housing and the shifter shaft.

I have a hunch that finding a thin enough nut is going to be a challenge.  I've also considered filling with a metal-bearing epoxy and threading that.
