[sdiy] Mounting hole size for switch - can't seem to get from datasheet

[Cynthia Webster]

Aaron, after looking over the data sheets and searching the 
manufacturer's part number on google, no one is listing the hole size!

So I'll take a rather short leap of faith and suggest that it's the 
almost universal standard for a mono toggle and that is 1/4 inch
(.250) size hole.  You can always err on the side of "too small" and 
easily enlarge the hole that they locate and create by using a hand 
drill if necessary, (better than making the hole too large!)

Good Luck!
