I am pretty sure I have been sold on the magnetic switch's located here:
https://shop.featherweightaltimeters.com/product.sc?productId=33&categoryId=2
I want to make sure I get everything I need in one go. Does it come with screws/nuts/standoffs/a magnet?
Also, I have a soldering iron so I figured I might as well solder the wires to the screws instead of just screwing them on. If that is the case, do I screw down the wires between the head of the screw and the switch, and then solder on top of that while being careful not to bridge any connections?
My current plan is to have from bottom to top: nut, sled, standoff, switch, solder, screw head. Does this seem alright? I searched and searched for some good pictures of the actual installation of the magnetic switch, these were the best I've got:
I closed out of the thread already so sorry to whoever I didn't credit.
Is there any fear of the magnet interfering with the altimeter?
Those are all my questions for now. Thanks!
