hmm....new question: after looking at many buttons made for leaf switches...what is their standard hole size? is there a standard? i've already made all my holes on my cp at 1 1/8. ...so will leaf buttons be too big? too small? |
| Knievel:
Too big...the leafs will need a 1 3/16" hole. |

Actually,I was able to fit leaf switch buttons in an 1 1/8" hole by trimming the three little teeth that are on the underside of the bezel lip with a razor knife. I believe the purpose of the three teeth is to dig into the cp slightly to keep the button from spinning but if the pal nut is good and tight the button won't move. I trimmed them off all of my translucent leaf buttons and their going on 4 years now and they haven't moved. When I say teeth I mean the three little triangular gussets that are molded right into the button where the shank of the button meets the underside of the button bezel. Every leaf switch button I've ever seen has these. If they are not removed then the button will in fact need a 1 3/16" hole. |

I've only used the translucent leafs, I can tell you there's no way you'll get them into a 1 1/8" hole. |
