Does anyone know where to get these mini switches?

[Structo]

I've ran across two different types of threading on sub miniature switches I've used before.

Not sure if it was a metric vs standard thing.

The C & K switches are a bit pricey compared to others.

Are they worth the extra dough?

Yes, you can grip them, but they're hard to use for tightening as they won't go any further than the first thread, so they sit flush with it.

If you follow the order of regular nut, anti-rotation washer to lock into the chassis, chassis, faceplate (if applicable), dress nut then you can adjust the effective length of the switch shaft with the nut inside the chassis.

It's always worked a treat for me, and I've used lots of these.

Yeah that's how I used them too, but I had 4 mm of chassis plus faceplate, so it was very tight!!
