Howard,

That terminal on my switch was pretty tight. There was really no deflection at that point. Perhaps a small brass nut/bolt with a filed down head would work instead of that rivet? It would allow you tighten it down enough to hold it in place, but not so tight that you crack the insulator. A small drop of loctite would keep it from loosening back up.

The worst spot on my switch was on the back side where the dome light grounds when the knob is turned all the way counter-clockwise. There was a lot of corrosion on it so it wasn't making a good contact there.
