Oh man, that's way smarter than my solution. I just shove them in tight and hope for the best, then spend twenty minutes picking up scattered cards when I pull one out.

Wait, you mean they added an automatic tip without telling anyone first?

Actually, calling it an "actuating lever" might be technically correct, but in shop talk everyone just calls it the linkage arm (you know, until something breaks). The real issue people miss is that the bushing on that pivot point wears down way faster than the lever itself, which is the part @harperschmidt should watch for if they're tearing it down. Think about replacing that bushing first, and the whole thing will feel like new without splitting hairs over names.

Bumped mine up by 2 points and it cleared right up.

Have you tried looking for patches from local businesses or places you've actually been to? I slapped a patch from a diner I used to work at on my jacket and it gets more compliments than any band patch I've ever owned. Your mileage may vary but that personal connection made all the difference for me.
