Switch magnets for mech.

[RAPTOREX]

I'm looking for a shop, or Ape, who might have some magnets for my Panzer.
They need to be, no more than 11.5mm diameter with a id of no less than 5.5mm . Looking for around N40-45.
I'd be grateful for any pointers.

The only other piece of advice I can give is to buy some thinner ones and make up to suit like purge do, then just buy the highest Nxx you can find. That way you can vary the throw strength. All depends on the depth you have to play with.

The only ones they do, assuming I've searched right, are these. Will they do the trick. The switch throw is only about 3mm, with the spring fitted.

Sometimes you just gotta have a go at the ball @RAPTOREX , see if you make a connection. I dunno if they'll fit, you might have to buy a slightly bigger or smaller set depending on what you find. If you had a set of calipers it'd take a lot of the guesswork out it.

I have go callipers. That's where the measurements I first stated came from. the cavity inside the switch is 12.1 id the switch shaft is 5.4mm. Throw is 3mm.
I'm more than happy to take a chance. Just didn't want it to be too much of a chance.

aye, the throw is 3mm, but that doesn't include the compressed spring, so it should leave ample space

That's how I hoped. And I've only got 8 extra magnets. Lol. Still may help another ape, if they want to go that way I'm sure I saw someone had bought one quite recently.
As always most grateful for your help.
