Does anyone know if these handles support a thumb switch a la DOT?

Be easy enough to add if they don't.  1/4" hole in the handle and you're all set.

The thumbswitch plate comes with 2 holes in it, you can cover the extra hole by adding an overlay of some sort...

Happ also sells the plates with either 1 hole or no hole:
96-2542-02 ---> 2 holes
96-2542-01 ---> 1 hole
96-2542-00 ---> 0 holes

i guessed at this by just changing the last 2 digits.   good news for DOT purists :)  Though you still might want a small overlay...so it doesn't really matter that much...

Oh, and for the TRON stick insert I used this from CAGA: http://www.arcadecollecting.com/caga/misc/TronStickInsert.zip
I printed it on heavy paper, laminated it, and trimmed it down - it's pretty sturdy, but I wouldn't put a button in it.

That's what I was looking for.  That makes sense.  

I guess the only downshot that I can see is that you still have to hack apart an existing stick (like a Super), which I'm sure would take away from the authenticity of it...especially the feel.  Good info though, so thanks.
