I checked the 1 remaining cheap switch in stock and I didn't find that part number you mentioned.

All of the early style of switches have to be adjusted and it is a royal pain in the ass and in fact, we did just such an adjustment yesterday on a BW35 in a 122.

IIRC, Volvo does have a special tool for tightening the jam nut, but we bent a wrench and made our own tool.

FYI, the updated switches don't require any adjustment, just screw them all the way in and tighten.
