One of the issues locating push buttons is that what you see is not what you should be searching for. The part you physically push is sometimes part of the avionics bezel. It rides on top of the actual switch. For example, take a look at some of the marketing literature from Korry: http://www.korry.com/products/panels/chromarray493.stm In this product the button cap (the part you touch and push) is part of the plastic light plate / bezel. The switch is actually a surface mount device that is soldered onto a circuit board.So, if you wanted to make something like the unit in your picure, you might consider using a tactile switch like these: http://www.jameco.com/webapp/wcs/stores/se...tegoryId=354065Mikewww.mikesflightdeck.comwww.mikesflightdeckbooks.com
