That's it but there were 2 sitting side by side in an aluminum casing. It's
no wonder it catches on things and breaks.
Since it doesn't take much effort to move, I 'd just cut it down to the
nub. If you wanted to attach something decorative that would work.
Jeff - mine now uses a single 2 mirror toggle switch.

you

A A I suppose you could also shorten the knob along with the shaft
