At least in my eyes. My 12 year old daughter's look of indifference said otherwise. However I thought I'd share. I have used Featherweight screw switches in the past and either glued them to the inside of the av-bay coupler or mounted them to the backside of the sled. In the first method I always was worried about stresses on the wires from one end of the wires being stationary. It was easy to arm though. The other way, I felt better about not fatiguing the wires, but felt like I was playing a carnival game trying to blindly hit a #2 screw head in the middle of an av-bay.
So my solution? First off, when I saw the Missle Works screw switches, I really like the fact that they were bigger than the Featherweight version and had the solder tabs for wires or compression terminals. So, after a little thought, here was my solution to mounting one easily. A piece of 3/8"x3/8" square basswood stock, 2 #4x1/2" wood screws and a piece of popsicle stick and a little wood glue, I came up with this.
