Thank you both for you comments. I think what may have happened is the C clip has slipped down to the very end of the rod. It could be that the clip has expanded a bit over the years and the there may be wear on the rod end. 3/16ths of an inch would place the upper switch about where it should be on the steering wheel. The switch used to have a closer gap that it currently has. I may have to file a bit of a groove 3/16ths on the end of the tube and crimp the clip a bit so it fastens a bit higher on the rod. Thanks again!
