You have the wrong blower switch installed or someone pushed a knob on an original shaft.
It should look like this.
Thanks Jules and all. My blower switch looks like the one have pictured Jules. The photo I attached was from a Google search. I thought it was strange when I saw it. That's why I questioned it here. I'll definitely take your advice on the ground for the dimmer switch. Any help on the heater control panel lower support bracket would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Yes. This is how mine looks. I found the photo with the knob pushed onto the lever when I did a Google image search. Thought it was unusual.

Put a want add on the sites your on.
Thanks. I just now posted in "Parts Wanted" here, and on Cuda-Challenger. I am willing to make a bracket if anyone can share photos using a tape measure against the bracket to show dimensions.
BTW - Just got the new reproduction heater control panel. It's beautiful. Whoever is making these, should also make the radio dash bezel. That way the textures will match.

He used my picture to highlight the bracket he needs.
Does anyone know if the same lower support bracket was used for the control panel on A/C and non-A/C cars? The picture with the bracket circled in red is slightly different (where it mounts to the back of the panel) than the bracket in the 2nd photo which is from an A/C equipped car. Thanks.

Yes the same.
The pics are of only 1 bkt. The chamfer shows reversed because bkt was flipped over for pics.
Thanks. I know the two brackets in the 2nd photo are the same (just flipped). The 1st photo shows a different style bracket where it mounts to the back of the control panel. That's what I'm looking for clarification on; the circled area of the bracket in first photo, and the circled area(s) of the bracket in the 2nd photo. The one in the 1st photo is attached to a non-A/C control panel, the one in the 2nd photo is from an A/C car. Why are they different?

I know it's a mildly old post, but since I'm reading all of filmsurgeon's posts to aid in my ragtop restoration...
There's another way to mask & paint the heater controls, using a rubber-based compound to mask the flat surfaces inside the rectangle and around it (and inside the letters). I used to use something called Maskol (made by Humbrol) back when I was painting models as a kid, it's just liquid rubber that flows reall well so you can use it to fill the lows, let it dry, and paint the highs with anything you want (a rattle can, or a brush and paint for example). The layer of Maskol gets painted too, but you just tear it off once the paint is dry.
It might be possible to use liquid rubber products like plasti-dip too (not sure about that, I've only used the aerosol version).
I haven't checked my heater control yet to see if it needs to be redone, so I might try it soon.
