[sdiy] mouting of miniature toggle switches

[Dave Hylander]

I prefer to use the NKK mini switches.  The nut for the outside (against 
the panel) is beveled so that it does not dig into the panel.  Tip -  Apply 
a piece of masking tape across the face of you nut driver. After pushing it 
over the switch, it will protect the panel from contact with the nut 
driver.  I've installed hundreds of the NKK switches, and have never had 
any panel damage.
