I had cleared the rear face out to bare steel so that was not the problem.
The paddles change the numbers in the window on the dash, so that all works.
It looks all neat and tidy, now I have to bend the stalk a bit, the 1/8" I moved the paddles back would not have altered this requirement for me.
I lost a file in the car somewhere, I think it may have fell through the hole for the gear shift unit.
I am not keen to take it all out to look, but it bugs me, so maybe I will sometime. Can it fall out on its own or can I reach from underneath?
Dave,
Thanks so much for all the great feedback here and in your PM
the kits now ship with sets of screws in multiple lengths.
you want to be careful that you do not go too long on the screws as they will compromise the feel and functionality of the paddle if they go even the smallest amount past bottoming-out in the paddle base.
good luck finding the file : )
Chris
