P.S. This arrangement may seem confusing, but it would take a more complex and bulky setup (read: more work for me) to have one switch facing up, and one facing down with some extended bracket or something hanging off the panel to trip it. This is absolutely the simplest possible way to do this! And I've already tried having the switches get pressed by the flywheel or the shutter. They make a LOT of noise (something like nails on a chalkboard) with the actuators rubbing against them constantly, even with the rollers on the ends, so don't even think about it! Plus, there's just not enough space between the optics to have the shutter moving up and down in there, and Oscar says they're about as far apart as they can get it. You've really got to have the optics move with the shutter.
