There are if I remember correctly thin pieces of sheet brass that act as
springs against the centrifugal force, it has been a few years but if I
remember correctly you can gently (no longer available new to my knowledge)
bend the brass to adjust the little switch. No scientific method for
determining if you got it right other than trial and error, I think I messed
with mine whil the tunnel was off (obviously) and the car up on jackstands
so I could test and adjust easily.
