tighten to obtain a sliding fit Explanation: 'Finger tight' is probably what you're thinking of, but it not an exact translation (although it would probably be understood give that the text specifically says that the holder should still be free to move). You could use a wording such as 'tighten the... just enough to obtain a sliding fit, so the sensor holder is still free to move'. |
