Hi Jack,

I used a piece of brass tubing like you find in the hardware store displays
that have round, square and sheet of various sizes.  I slipped it on the
shaft and squeezed it with pliers to get the flat side.  Works great.

I needed this conversion for the switch to my electric windshield wipers.
