But, Yeah...I always adjust mine b/c I am also Paranoid...the fear of Murphy's Law having my non-adjusted NSS finally leaving me stranded at 2 AM in a rain storm [ I believe that is the appropriate Murphy Law Time Window ] is enough fear for me to make the adjustment when I put the sw in.

Nah..I adjust them at installation, regardless of Murphy....what's he know about NSS switches, anyway ????????????
That would be true of a failed NSS, but a misaligned one that further un-aligns itself would still permit you to get underway... after you find the new "sweet spot."

Ironically, alignment should be almost effortless at this point -- just loosen the NSS bolts and rotate the switch until it is correct. (The rod trick didn't work for me either.) But the replacement was a frustating experience, and I am not eager to interact with the switch again unless I absolutely have to.
