Part of the problem is that with the commonly-available switches, the push-button has a significantly shorter bushing than the toggles. The switches I chose for the first version had the same length bushings, and had the V-bracket that makes it easier to assemble, but they are much harder to source. In general, there is little selection available when you want switches with both PCB-mount termination and a threaded bushing, as apparently that's not a common requirement. > I'm not your market segment, but I think a better font would be welcome.

Now that I think about it, my friend John probably has a physical issue I could borrow and scan.
