OK, so after a cursory measurement on my coin door (also Happ over/under), you can probably use the bezel/slot piece, remove the original coin-return, dremel out the coin slot to make it an even hole, then using longer screws and some sort of backplate, mount these buttons over the hole created by the removal of the return plungers and dremel-ing out the slots.
Simple measurements are 1 5/16" from the outer edge of the slot and 1 1/2" tall.
OR, buy some kydex and make a new plate for each one, mount the switch to the kydex square, removing the entire coin slot/return with its bezel (2 screws), mounting it in place of that. Make sense? :dizzy:

You can probably source kydex at lowe's or something...
Dibs on the original coin return plungers depending on color :D

Actually, to go even more cheaper-er, I'd go down to the local Radio Shack and buy a project box and just use the cover. Cut the cover into a couple of appropriate squares (just big enough to cover the holes left by the removal of the coin slot/return and it's bezel) and then drill holes in it to mount the GGG coin buttons and in turn mount those to the coin door.

Nope, too specialized for Lowes, Home Depot, or Menards.
Amazon has a variety of sizes, thicknesses, and colors available.
