Dont use other oils as you need something that will evaporate eventually and leave a microscopic lube film which is whats needed...dwf or q20 will do..but drain it properly n leave in warm Sun for a while. The ss screws i got from Boltfast but most fastner specialist shops will have the stuff...take ur switch with...u may have to cut the bolts to size if too long. For drilling out the knurled-down side of the rivets....do this by hand with a sharp hss drill bit between ur fingers...the alu is soft enough...takes a while but is safer...n then the rivets slide out. You have to disconnect the switch from the mounting. Theres no loose parts etc that can fall out of the switch..so its safe to open but be careful anyway theres a thin white plastic insulating sheet that u must put back n becareful not to damage it.
