Ah, now that makes some sense if there was a hole there for the set
screw, that would make it more suceptible to fatigue.  Thanks for
clearing it up...

On this topic, I thought I had the shifter all adjusted but road test
revealed that what I thought was 1/2 was actually engaging 3/4, so I
still have some tweaking to do.  The shifter FEELS much better though.
