Help with switch tops.

[bscur]

Hi,
I have destroyed a couple of these now and could use some help. The switches arrive with the straight shaft that has a channel in the side, like in the pic, but the diagram of the same switch shows it should have a threaded top. How do you get the cover off the top to reveal the threaded portion? I tried a wrench, but the whole top just rips off.

Are you sure that there is a threaded bit underneath?  Maybe their diagram is just wrong.  Wouldn't be the first time I've seem bad documentation. 

Which doesn't really help with your question... Sorry.

That's an unthreaded bushing, what's the part # you ordered, either you were sent the wrong one or the part number was wrong.

Yep! This right here ^^^

Hi,
The part I was told was C&K 7411SYZQE. I am doing a mod on a G&L L2000 bass and need a threaded top on a 4PDT On/On/On switch. Any help would be great. I've blown about $80 buying the wrong switches so far.
Thanks again,
Brad

Digikey shows that part number as a 3pdt 0n/0n/0n with a threaded bushing, so shouldn't look like the one you pictured.

Not sure what sort of specs you need. May be others here.
