1976 Dart windshield wiper switch

No, the shank on the switch should fit tight in the dash "keyhole" and bottom out against the back of the cluster frame. The nut just holds it in place.
Thanks. I'm installing an electronic cluster that requires the stock bezel be extensively modified without any instructions whatsoever. I found a video on YouTube that showed just enough detail for me to figure out that I need to hack the old metal bracket that resides on the back of the stock cluster.

Anyone installing one of these Intellitronix pieces, let me try to guide you through the process.
