22mm mounting hole = 0.86"
Not sure if it's a momentary or push-on/push-off switch either.

There has to be more out there.

EDIT: Nevermind, reviews make it sound like it's definitely a switch.

Post by: JustMichael on October 13, 2010, 12:47:05 pm: Well they do make these (http://www.happcontrols.com/pushbuttons/57200031.htm) also but the problem I think I see is the button bezels. It makes the total diameter too big. Would it be possible to run an led to inside the current button to try to light it?
