Sopwith Spade Grip Switch

Does anyone have a source for the switch folks are using in their Sopwith builds? The ones I see in pictures has a mushroom style button. I'm having trouble finding a switch with that type button that will fit in the available space in the protrusion on the spade grip.

You might contact Kip Lankenau at Kip Aero in Dallas. They sell complete Sopwith kits and he has built a Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutter. He is very much into authenticity in everything he does. He has reproduced many fittings, switches, and bits of hardware for vintage vehicles and aircraft.
