FP. From the schematic you provided of the A-1150, it appears as though a hole approximately 1/8 inch would work for inserting the threaded receiver for the locking nut. The schemo says it's .15 ....I hope this is inches or else disregard this post.
Sounds right to me :love Now if I could only get ahold of Cole. I'll try again today.

I can honestly say the switches that I have fit real nicely on the new gauntlets I just got (sorry no pics of this available) -Mark
Coooooool. Could you share a pic in the near future ?
I would be VERY interested in seeing the scale.

** EDIT ** (UPDATE)
Finally got ahold of them. Sheesh, do I know how to pick 'em or what They're of course a specialty manufacturer, parts only made to order.
When I told them what they were needed for, of course the teasing started Nice guys though. Here's the scoup ...
They're going to send me 2 samples. After the discussion as to what they would be used for, they asked if they would even need to be fucnctional, because the prices for these little bad boys are apparently obscene, as they only make them for big companies such as Hughe's Aircraft ect.. I told them that it was not necessary for them to be functional for electronics use, since they have micro solder terminals anyway. He said, in that case, I could be in luck, because they have a huge surplus of non-functional switches or switches that cannot be sold because they did not meet QA standards, and they could problably make me a deal for a boat load of them for fractions of pennies on the dollar.
So that is the catch. They may not be worthy of actual electric current, but would still click like a rotary switch, sound like a rotary switch, but for all intents and purposes be a "Dummy Switch". The best part, is that they might basically be "FREE" :facepalm
So, I'llget the samples and see how they look on my new set of gaunt s. If they look right, and the price is right ....how can we go wrong? Well, there will be those here on the forum that may in fact want them functional. Personally I don't give a rip, but I need an idea of how many might be interested in them? Spread the word, give me an idea. IF THEY LOOK RIGHT. Stay tuned.
