I woul like to use leaf buttons on a cocktail panel but space is *very* tight.
Knievel:
If those red dots are meant to show the spot where the button will be pushing you'll be fine.
It'll just take slightly more pressure to make contact with yours.

Yes.
thanks for the confirmation.  I think you're right.  I notice that the new style holders (like bob roberts sells) put the actuation point further out than the older style I have.  The ones I have put the actuation point directly at the contact points where the bob roberts style put the actuation point closer to the end of the leaf.  I suppose there's no reason moving the actuation point in closer wouldn't work as well.
Knievel:
Ah yes mine are like his then, that's why I wasn't sure about the dots.

On these ones the contacts are 1 3/8" long from the mounting block to the tip if that helps you any.
They look a lot longer in your pic.

thanks, I see now that the difference between mine and yours is the length of the leafs, not the holders.  Same idea though.
